LEO (FIRE) JULY 23-AUGUST 22
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! Things are moving along smoothly as you continue experiencing a time of great creativity and social activity. However, this is not the best time to begin a diet or a new exercise routine. Forget the calories and carbs for a week or two and stop feeling guilty! A conversation with a Virgo will reveal information that will help you to make a decision in the near future. Financially you continue spending more than you planned and soon you will have to pay up… cut back now!
HINT: Use the experience you gained from the past to your advantage in the future.
VIRGO (EARTH) AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
You need to take a step back and consider someone else’s feelings. Try not to use yourself as litmus paper, for few can stand up to that kind of scrutiny. And besides, it isn’t fair. You may be more practical but you lack in sensitivity, and this is where you have to work on yourself. Financially things are moving according to plan, and in the very near future you will have reached one of your more important goals. Your relationship with your partner or mate is a tad rocky this week, so raise the charm and lower the criticism.
HINT: Problems with a sibling have not yet eased up.
LIBRA (AIR) SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
Just as you thought all was under control, a problem with a member of your partner’s family has taken precedence and must be addressed. Together you will work it out; for now, the most important thing you can do is to continue reaching out and offering your support. Financially you are struggling a bit, but nothing new or outstanding. Professionally you continue to build a strong backing, and soon you will be ready to branch out and spread your wings.
HINT: Your connection with a Cancer is getting even stronger as time progresses.
SCORPIO (WATER) OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 20
Before you make a decision, take a breather and review all the pertinent information you have managed to accumulate. Then use your intellect and intuition to guide you. You continue to be surrounded by wonderful friends and family who are always ready to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on. But most important is the strong relationship you share with your partner or mate. Together you make a team that is the envy of friends and colleagues alike.
HINT: Financially things are far from what you want them to be but not as bad as you feared.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE) NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21
Things are definitely moving according to plan, and as time goes by you continue to meet important and influential people who may have a major impact on a decision you are considering. You will have time this week to enjoy your family and close friends, so don’t think twice about going home early or taking a day or two off. Financially all is under control, but you continue to work hard in order to have the reserve funds you will need for future projects.
HINT: Getting angry at someone from your past is a waste of time and energy. You aren’t the same person today and have left him/her far behind.
CAPRICORN (EARTH) DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
You have the feeling that you are simply plodding along when the truth is you are forging ahead, blazing new trails and bringing your special brand of creativity and wit. Don’t give up…the prize is just around the corner. Financially you continue to stick to your plan and, with the help of a family member, can even afford a few special extras here and there. A conversation with your partner or mate will reveal just how sensitive he/she is and how much he/she is trying to be someone you are proud of.
HINT: A little vacation will go a long way.
AQUARIUS (AIR) JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18
Before finalizing a decision, take a step back and forget about everything. You will be amazed at how your mind will work out the answers you have been seeking while you are busy dealing with other things. Trust yourself…everyone else does! You have so much to offer, and your best friend and partner is the first to agree. Time spent together will help you to put things into perspective. Financially all is well, and you are now in a position to save money without scrimping.
HINT: The last few days of this week is a good time for meeting with family members and catching up on the news and gossip.
PISCES (WATER) FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20
You have so much to deal with right now, and there are days when all you want to do is pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep. The problem is that no one is better qualified to deal with everything than you, and no one is more competent. For the next week or so, pace yourself and try to squirrel a little time away to clear your mind and relax. When dealing with younger members of your family, don’t forget that you do have the option to say “No.” And nothing terrible will happen if you do.
HINT: A conversation over a good cup of coffee with another water sign is just what you both need. You are so ready to conquer new vistas and explore new options.
ARIES (FIRE) MARCH 21-APRIL 19
You are so ready to conquer new vistas and explore new options. But rather than act in haste, use this time and this energy for gathering important information. Trust yourself to discover who your true friends and allies are and ask a water sign to help you to see beyond the obvious. If you are looking for the truth, be prepared to hear some things you would rather have left unsaid.
HINT: Financially you enjoy pampering yourself and those you care for but soon will have to cut back once again if you are to avoid getting into debt.
TAURUS (EARTH) APRIL 20-MAY 20
You are almost completely in the place you want to be and over the past few weeks have been able to discover what you need, as well as what you need to change. You never jump feet first into uncharted waters, and over the next few months you will begin searching for the missing pieces. Don’t worry. So many people are on your side and ready and willing to offer advice, assistance and expertise. Enjoy some time off with your partner or mate, as this is a perfect week to relax, recharge and renew.
HINT: Financially you have nothing to worry about, so pamper yourself!
GEMINI (AIR) MAY 21-JUNE 21 You need to think twice before sharing your thoughts, as not everyone you come into contact with these days is interested in your success without thinking you are simply bragging and blowing your own horn. Learn from your mistakes, dust yourself off and move forward. A family member may need a little more time, but in the end will stand firmly beside you and will be a strong source of support. Financially you never have as much money as you would like, and this week is no exception
HINT: Good week for arranging a meeting or two with the experts.
CANCER (WATER) JUNE 22-JULY 22
You have so much on your mind that you may find it difficult relaxing in order to fall asleep. Rather than try to keep everything in your mind, write your thoughts down and rest knowing that you have made a record that will be there waiting for you in the morning. Time spent with family will always brighten your day, and this is the week for parties, entertainments and meetings. You will derive extra special pleasure by working on a special project that is new and exciting.
HINT: Financially you are getting close to your quota and need to be very careful if you don’t want to be swamped in the weeks to come.
