LEO---FIRE
JULY 23-AUGUST 22
This week you will be busy with people you come into contact with daily: neighbors, family, siblings and everyone at the office.  Your need to communicate is great but you may not have enough patience to deal with all the insignificant banter. Take some time off this week to work on a project that has been pushed aside for the past couple of months. It is time to finish it. HINT: Your thoughts turn to things you value which include both your self-esteem and monetary possessions.
 
VIRGO---EARTH
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
Plans to travel or renovate your home may not progress as smoothly as you had hoped due to a few glitches along the way which cannot be avoided. Rather than getting upset, take a step back and look for an alternate solution. Your relationship with a water sign is far from satisfactory and this time you may have been a tad too critical. Remember that water signs are extremely sensitive. HINT: The last few days of this week are perfect for entertaining at home.
 
LIBRA---AIR
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
You definitely have the feeling that you are treading water instead offorging ahead with your plans.

JUNE 22-JULY 22
You can’t seem to find a quiet corner at home and end up wasting timetrying to get settled rather than sitting down to some serious work.Time is passing and soon you will feel pressured to get a projectfinished.

When speaking to a sibling rememberthat this person is not only on your side but may be your best friend.Any time the two of you are together is a party. HINT: If you can’ttake a major vacation right now, take little ones…you’ll be surprisedat just how refreshed and rejuvenated you will feel.
