LEO (FIRE)
JULY 23-AUGUST 22 You are a very busy person and this week is no exception. The problem arises when you realize that you have precious little time left for yourself. You have the time, you have the energy and ability and all that is lacking is for you to stand up and say ‘no’. Once you have a pocket of quiet emotional space, you will be amazed at how much you can accomplish. And, even more important, how much joy you get out of creating something new from scratch. HINT: Financially you have almost completely weathered the storm. Keep a close watch and you will have the money you need at the end of the month.
VIRGO (EARTH)
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22 Your need for security is enhanced this week and, for you, security can be found behind the scenes making certain that you are safe finan - cially and can provide for those you love. Not all your dreams have been realized, and you may find it difficult convincing others to follow your path. It will be up to you to decide whether or not it is worth the energy getting upset over a difference of opinion. Be patient with a Leo this week as they are extremely busy and not as ac - commodating as you might wish. HINT: Restless, you need to keep moving and thinking. But pay attention to the weather and know when to get out of the sun.
LIBRA (AIR)
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23 Just when you need it most a check or some cash appears giving you the breathing space you were searching for. All will be well, so relax. Always anxious to please, you put your own need on hold without hesitation. Your friends quickly be - come family and those included into your inner sanctum know how lucky they are. By the beginning of this week your thoughts turn to getting away from the crowds in order to catch up on some rest and some work that has been piling up on your desk. HINT: A conversation with an earth sign will help ground you and put things back into perspective.
SCORPIO (WATER)
OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 20 You may be feeling lethargic and not your usual peppy self this week. The weather combined with all that has been going on in your life lately has taken its toll and now is the time for you to take a step back and get out of the fast lane. Although a conversation over the phone does not have the same impact as a face-to-face meeting, you may have no alternative due to a last minute change in your plans. Unless the appointment can be postponed to a later date, you may just have to rely on a phone call. HINT: Money expected may be delayed, but it will eventually arrive.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE)
NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21 There are never enough hours in the day but lately you are putting more balance in your life and spendng more time at home with family and friends. Once you can catch up on some much needed rest you will feel optimistic and secure in your choices. Don’t hesitate to discuss things with your partner and/or mate as this person is definitely on your side and has the ability to see things from a different perspective which is just what you need. HINT: You enjoy learning and once you can arrange some time for yourself, sign up for that course or two you have been interested in.
CAPRICORN (EARTH)
DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19 Finally the time has come whereby you can take a step back and catch up on some rest and simply enjoy waking up a little later in the mornings. You have done a phenomenal job this year and your good name and reputation will stand you in good stead as you make some important decisions concerning your professional future. Arrange to spend some quiet time with your partner and/or mate. You are definitely on the same page and this is the time for enjoying each other’s company. HINT: Things have changed over the year and this is the time to step back and appreciate where you are today.
AQUARIUS (AIR)
JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18 Time spent with your partner and/or mate at the end of a long day is just what you need to unwind. At work you enjoy the camaraderie of open discussions with your co-workers as you help each other work out complicated problems while putting egos aside. All in all, this is the week to surround yourself with intelligent, kind, ambitious people who enjoy your company and make you happy. Financially all is under control and you have enough money to pamper yourself and those you love. HINT: In order to finish a project on time you may discover it is easier to work in the library or even a coffee shop you like.
PISCES (WATER)
FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20 Take a break...you have earned it. The money you need will be there in time, so relax. You may not be able to find a quiet corner at home this week, but there are lovely places near water or a park where the scenery will do much to calm your soul. You have so much to offer and this week you are finally free to work on a special project which you have been working over in your mind for months. Time spent with young people is a joy but you may discover that they quickly wear you out! HINT: Plan to meet with another water sign...you are special friends.
ARIES (FIRE)
MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Your creative energy runs high and if you can take advantage of the rush you will quickly push through problems which have been holding you back. Things fall into place once you begin to work whole heartedly, so don’t hesitate to be creative and express yourself honestly. Not everyone you come into contact with daily is pleasant, but this week even they can’t lower your spirits. HINT: You are prone to throw caution to the winds financially and love to pick up the check and pay for everyone. Instead, divide the bill equally and save a few coins for next time.
TAURUS (EARTH)
APRIL 20-MAY 20 You particularly enjoy entertaining at home this week and find the preparation...shopping, cleaning, cooking and baking a pleasure especially if your partner and/or mate lends a helping hand. Not your usual ‘drop in’ party, this time you will go all out and hand pick the menu and the guests. At work you are still very busy but you don’t mind as the people you are with have become a strong and dependable team. HINT: Rather than think too far ahead in the future, take a step back and enjoy what you have already accomplished.
GEMINI (AIR)
MAY 21-JUNE 21 You have a message you want to share and this week you will be busy communicating both verbally and on the computer. You have some brilliant ideas and are anxious to gather a team who not only can see your vision but will help you transform your dream into a reality. Pay close attention to finances as the cost may end up much higher than you had originally planned. When talking to a sibling don’t be too ready to judge. A little flexibility right now on your part will go a long way. HINT: This weekend is a good time for taking care of personal business.
CANCER (WATER)
JUNE 22-JULY 22 You have worked so hard over the past few months and finally are ready to begin anew. Old projects are written, edited, examined and finished! Now take some time to have fun...you’ve earned it! When discussing your ideas with your partner and/or mate don’t be surprised if they can’t see the broad picture. This person is more apt to dwell in the little details, so take what they say with a grain of salt. And, then pay attention to those little details! HINT: Financially things are better than you had hoped for but you are not yet out of the woods, so be careful how you spend your money.
