TIP FOR THE WEEK: Try taking some time off this week. Go out with friends to your favorite restaurant or simply stay home and read a good book. Enough already with solving all the problems of the world.
VIRGO (EARTH)
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
For so long you had to take care of the needs of others and this week you can finally put your name at the top of the list. Pamper yourself. Go ahead. Buy that expensive cream/shirt/watch that you've been eyeing for so long. A discussion with an air sign about money may turn into a heated argument…are you certain that's what you want?
HINT: In the weeks to come you will be offered a position which will be hard to turn down. Check it out carefully before committing yourself.
LIBRA (AIR)
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
For too long money and finances have been on your mind and the truth is that you have done all you can and the position you are in isn't as terrible as you first imagined. This week, trust your instincts and leave the details to the experts. You will find it difficult to sit too long with folded hands, so keep yourself busy but remember to eat properly and get enough to drink.
HINT: Take some time off to get out of the city this week and watch the flowers grow.
SCORPIO (WATER)
OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 21
A lot is going on behind the scenes and this week you will do yourself a big favor by not getting involved. Simply pick yourself up and walk away. Don't worry, someone will make sure you get all the details. This is a perfect week for meeting new people or for speaking in front of a crowd. It will be hard to resist your vibrant personality.
HINT: Before signing any important papers or committing yourself to new projects, double check and make sure you really have the time.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE)
NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21
This is the week for meetings and social functions. You will be at your best and the impression you make will last a long time. New friends and important contacts will be coming your way soon. Try to take a little time off this week to simply relax at home with family and friends. If you are completely honest with yourself, you will have to admit that you are exhausted.
HINT: Stop worrying about money. You are on the right track and things are beginning to fall into place.
CAPRICORN (EARTH)
DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
Professionally you are doing a wonderful job and everyone knows it. So relax. There is still plenty of time to get projects started and to press ahead. In the meantime try to put a little balance into your life by coming home early and spending more time with your partner and/or mate. Your relationship with a Leo is as strong as ever and you have both learned to respect each other and trust one another.
HINT: Be careful how you spend your money this week. Try not to be too extravagant.
AQUARIUS (AIR)
JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18
You would really like to take some time off and go visit faraway places where they serve drinks inside a cut out pineapple and have those little umbrellas floating on top. But the truth is that you really can't take the time off right now. So, how about a couple of mini-trips. Go visit friends in a nearby city or drive out into the country for a couple of days.
HINT: This is a time of new beginnings for you. Don't be sad about saying good-bye to the old. It's time and you know it. Enjoy, you deserve it.
PISCES (WATER)
FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20
You are getting tired of carrying the weight of the world around on your shoulders so put it down for a bit. You have done all you can and worrying will not help at all. Trust yourself and lean on your friends a bit. They are just waiting for the word and will be happy to pitch in and do what they can. After all, aren't you there all the time for them?
HINT: No one is more important to you than your family and this week you will have the opportunity to do something special for one or more of them.
ARIES (FIRE)
MARCH 21-APRIL 19
You feel a bit confused and out of sorts this week as you are in the middle of making some important changes in your life. Secretly you are a nester and any change you make along the way puts you out of balance for awhile. In the next week or so you will look back and wonder, "What was I worrying about, anyway?" Your close friends are strongly supportive and continue to bring you joy.
HINT: Family living far away is always on your mind.
TAURUS (EARTH)
APRIL 20-MAY 20
Finally after weeks of procrastinating you can begin to make some headway on a project or two that is near and dear to your heart. This is the week for action, so roll up your sleeves and get started. You are so very creative and this talent will come in useful as you meet and greet new professional people. Be careful where you leave your wallet and keys over the weekend. Double check to avoid an irritating situation.
HINT: A conversation with a Libra will do much to raise your spirits.
GEMINI (AIR)
MAY 21-JUNE 21
Don't let a sibling ruin your week. The two of you have such different personalities, but you know you both love each other. This is a perfect time for you to get out and mingle more with people. Enough of the hard work and long hours behind your desk. New places and friends will do much to raise your spirits and help you recharge your batteries.
HINT: The latter portion of this week finds you thinking of your youth and family and friends who live far away.
CANCER (WATER)
JUNE 22-JULY 22
You are working too hard, worrying too much about money, and not taking enough time off to feed your soul. There is only so much you can do to help all the people who turn up daily at your doorstep. Make a schedule, keep to it, and have fun. Not only is it time, but you deserve it. Your relationship with a sibling is as strong as ever and he/she continues to give you strength.
HINT: Good week for working at home on a project that is dear to you.
LEO (FIRE)
JULY 23-AUGUST 22
You have been on such a rocky road for so long that you have almost forgotten how to stop worrying and simply enjoy yourself. This is the week for you to make some plans and stick to them. Start that diet…join that gym…write that best-selling novel…if not now then when? There is no one more important to you than your family and both the elderly and the young not only love you but like you.
HINT: Reach out and grab a star or two…if anyone can do it, you can.
