VIRGO (EARTH) AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
Your mind is working overtime as you assess your options and search for the best way to reach your final goal. Feelings of frustration and anger surface as last minute changes in your plans cause havoc with your schedule and the more you try to force the issue, the less you manage to accomplish. Take a step back and let the situation cool off. All will be fine in the end and there is no sense ruining your health over the incompetence of someone else.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you may end up spending more money than you had planned, but it will be well worth it.
LIBRA (AIR)SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
You feel nostalgic as your thoughts turn to people and places from your past. This week provides a perfect opportunity for you to reach out and rekindle a friendship or simply take the time to say hello to an old friend you haven’t spoken to in a long time.
Professionally, things are moving forward, and although you are not satisfied with the pace, you are grateful for the positive changes which have come your way. It will be up to you to decide how full you wish your schedule to be. Nothing will happen if you cut back a bit for now.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you feel peaceful surrounded by loved ones.
SCORPIO (WATER) OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 20
Time to take a good look at what you want, and where you wish to be in the next few years.
The path you have chosen suits you but there is always room for improvement and when the time comes to make a change or two, you will know it. Don’t waste time mulling over mistakes and failures from the past…those were the stepping stones you needed to get to where you are today. When speaking with a sibling, pay attention to what isn’t being said and you may discover what is really on their mind.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you may find it difficult to locate a quiet corner where you can think…and isn’t that wonderful! SAGITTARIUS (FIRE) NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21
Your thoughts continue to center around your career and the steps you need to take in order to continue to grow and prosper professionally.
Both your co-workers as well as your employers appreciate all you have brought to the table and know what an important member you are to the team. Be patient where money and financial matters are concerned as there may be delays along the way which will cause a change in your original plan.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you will be happy entertaining family and close friends.
CAPRICORN (EARTH)
DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
The time is right for taking stock and looking for the things which have been overlooked or ignored. There is still enough time left to right a wrong; tie off loose ends and for making a minor adjustment which will have a far-reaching effect. The choices you make today will carry you along and bring you much closer to your final goals. Not all friendships last a lifetime but they all have added something to your life. When speaking with an older member of your family, pay attention as this person is talking from years of experience.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you will be the glue which holds all the different family members together.
AQUARIUS (AIR) JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18
Although you are still not satisfied with the status quo you are beginning to realize that things are not nearly as bleak as you imagined.
You have many options available and as the weeks progress more and more of the items on your list will be realized and checked off. You are respected both professionally and personally and are much in demand as an important member at the board table or the dinner table. Try to remember that the glass really is hall full.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you will enjoy remembering holidays past as you sit surrounded by family and friends. PISCES (WATER) FEBRUARY 19-MARCH
This is a perfect week for working with your partner and/or mate on a project which demands precision, creativity and experience. Once you split the work and give each other the space necessary to do what each does best, you will be gratified to see not only a job well done, but a job far superior to what you have done in the past. Money and finances are still on your mind as family expenses continue to erode your savings. When dealing with a person you come into contact with daily, smile and walk away.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you enjoy family and friends while thinking of those who could not be with you to share the holiday.
ARIES (FIRE) MARCH 21-APRIL 19
You may find it difficult getting away from work, but you definitely need the break and nothing on your desk is so important that it can’t wait a few days. Rather than rely on your own resources, make an appointment to discuss finances with an impartial expert who can point you in the right direction. Always ready to lend a helping hand, this week you will need to curtail your generosity as you have expenses of your own. Time spent at home will help you unwind, recharge and relax.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you will especially enjoy time spent quietly with your partner and/or mate.TAURUS (EARTH) APRIL 20-MAY 20
Unexpected problems at home such as a broken pipe or a problem with an electrical appliance cannot be avoided and you will be very happy that you have been putting some money aside over the past few months. Rather than try to fix it yourself, call in the expert…in the long run it will be a lot cheaper. A conversation with another earth sign will help you see things in a different light, and will give you food for thought for days to come.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you will feel right at home wherever you are as the people you are with are exactly who you want to be with.
GEMINI (AIR)
MAY 21-JUNE 21
The time has come for you to make a few changes in your life and, be they minor or major, once you have made up your mind you will feel happy and excited at the prospect of starting a new path. Before sharing your thoughts and views with everyone, run them by a Virgo. This person will be brutally honest and you can depend on him to point out the missing piece of the puzzle. Lately you have been either spending money on things you don’t need while not purchasing the things you do.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you will enjoy meeting new people as well as relaxing with family and old friends.
CANCER (WATER) JUNE 22-JULY 22
Take some time off to rest and enjoy a quiet moment before renewing all your responsibilities.
Between your professional commitments and your family obligations you have pushed yourself to the limit and need a break. You would love to get away but the lack of free time and sufficient extra funds makes that impossible right now. That does not, however, mean that the situation will not change down the line. For the time being remember even a little put aside will eventually add up to a serious amount of money.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you will be happiest surrounded by your family enjoying a traditional holiday.
LEO (FIRE) JULY 23-AUGUST 22
Few know just how sensitive you really are and lately those closest to you have been stomping on your toes and using you to vent their frustration and anger. A simple conversation could erupt into a raging argument and things said in anger will not be so simple to retract or forget. Sometime it is simply better to walk away.
Concern for a family member may cause you sleepless nights but they are old enough to take care of themselves, so stop worrying.
HINT: This Rosh Hashana you will enjoy being surrounded by loved ones and will spend time sharing stories from the past.
