You have a plan. Possibly a cunning plan. Almost certainly a plan which is certain to succeed. Right? Except that today's Mercury-Pluto square reflects the problem with super-schemes like yours. They're too clever for their own good.

Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn – I’m talking to you! Everyone else fades into the background when you’re busy focusing on your own project, except when you want to sell them on your idea. Then you say whatever it is you feel you have to. If you want to get your own way today, be open, upfront and transparent about what you want and how you intend to get it.

If you’re a Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, once you decide on something, it’s hard to get you to change your mind or methods. You have strong opinions and like to voice them, but that doesn’t always work to bring people around to your side. Instead of getting frustrated, open your mind and welcome others’ opinions and ideas, and while you’re at it, use this energy to make some changes to get out of your rut.

And Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Yawn. What is all the fuss about? You can turn on a dime and come up with solutions in the blink of an eye. You love change and can see things from many different perspectives. Bring people together with your incredible plan and success blossom.

Looking ahead, September closes with a potentially highly manipulative Venus-Pluto square, when things like jealousy or possessiveness can bubble to the surface. Take care.
