TIP FOR THE WEEK: Take your time. Nothing will happen if you wait a couple of days.
LIBRA (AIR)
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
Life seems to be weighing heavily on your shoulders these days. Actually, it is simply the responsibility you are feeling towards yourself and your loved ones. Take a step back and appreciate all the marvelous things you have accomplished so far. In the days and weeks to come new and interesting doors will be opening up for you both professionally as well as socially. HINT: Even though money problems are easing up, you still have to be careful.
 
SCORPIO (WATER)
OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 21
You are feeling more optimistic right now and this is a perfect time for you to reach out and arrange one or two important meetings. People tend to listen to you more carefully and it will be much easier for you to get your point across. Try to find some quiet time during the middle portion of the week to spend with your family. HINT: The memory of the difficulties you have overcome will not disappear overnight, but they will, however fade as time passes.
 
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE)
NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER
Sometimes knowing you are right simply isn’t enough. You also need the reassurance that the people you respect, respect you in return. Those who are foolish enough to doubt your sincerity or veracity will soon learn of their mistake. You may feel the need to get away from everyone and everything and even a short overnight trip will help to calm and settle you. HINT: Soon you will begin working on a new project and won’t have as much free time…so take advantage of the lull now.
 
CAPRICORN (EARTH)
DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
Friends, family and work seem to be keeping you busy and, finally after months of being stressed and overworked, you feel happy and content. You have worked very hard to get to where you are today and those closest to you are amazed at just how much you were able to accomplish in such a short period of time. This week is a good time for meeting new and interesting people…so don’t be too hasty to turn down an invitation. HINT: The time is right for strengthening your relationship with a sibling.
 
AQUARIUS (AIR)
JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18
This is not the time to be ruled by your emotions or to let your ego get in the way of your better judgment. Right now, the more you can be counted on as a team player, the better. In the end, you will not be sorry. Money and finances are still on your mind as household expenses continue to eat up funds you had hoped to be saving. This is a good period for doing research and the next few weeks will be excellent for planning and strategizing. HINT: On a personal note, your relationship with a water sign is better than ever.
 
PISCES (WATER)
FEBRUARY 19-MARCH
There don’t seem to be enough hours in the day as you continue juggling your time between your family obligations and your professional responsibilities. If you don’t get better organized, you will soon discover that you don’t have the strength to cope. A project that has been gathering dust on the shelf needs to be re-examined and finished, and there is no better time than right now to begin. HINT: Family living far away is on your mind and soon you will make plans to be reunited.
 
ARIES (FIRE)
MARCH 21-APRIL 19
In order to be free to make serious, responsible plans for your future, you have to first close off some issues from your past. The quicker you deal with them, the faster you will be free. Your partner and/or mate is solidly behind you and willing to do whatever it takes to help you get through this rough patch. Don’t be too proud to accept a helping hand. HINT: Financially, things are fine and you are now free to make some renovations in your home or office.
 
TAURUS (EARTH)
APRIL 20-MAY
This is a good week for mending fences and doing something really special for someone you care about. Don’t let fear of rejection hold you back. Time spent working as a team with your partner and/or mate is exactly what you both need right now and you will be amazed at just how much you can accomplish in a short period of time. A conversation with another earth sign will not be simple, but will be very worthwhile. HINT: This weekend invite a couple of friends over for a light meal.
 
GEMINI (AIR)
MAY 21-JUNE 21
Sometimes the best thing you can do is recognize defeat and move on. That is the case in regards to your relationship with a fire sign from your past. All that is left it to admit your mistakes, learn from them and grow. Mourning what can never be is simply a waste of time you are much too busy a person for that. Your thoughts turn to your home and the changes you wish to make. This time, get the advice of an expert. HINT: The last few days of this week are good for meeting with an older member of your family.
 
CANCER (WATER)
JUNE 22-JULY 22
This week is all about you as you begin to formalize some plans for your future. This is a perfect time for calling your travel agent, for accepting work on a new project and for finishing up some writing that has been left undone for too long. You have many wonderful ideas and would love to forge ahead, but the truth is that you are overworked and lately you haven’t found enough quiet emotional space to create. With a little careful planning all will fall into place. HINT: Your relationship with a partner and/or mate is a lot more stable and pleasant now.
 
LEO (FIRE)
JULY 23-AUGUST 22
Your home and family have always been your special place of refuge and this week is no exception. Try to organize yourself so that you have bigger blocks of free time in which to enjoy your family or simply sit back and relax. Your thoughts turn to money as you begin making plans for a trip in the near future and by the end of the month your financial situation will be much better than it is today. HINT: There is still plenty of time to rectify a mistake or make a minor change in your life which will have a major affect.
 
VIRGO (EARTH)
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
This is a perfect week for dealing with subjects that demand working with details, facts and figures. Your mind is keen and you are ready to handle anything that comes your way. You tend to speak whatever is on your mind and this week you will be better off if you listen more and think before talking. Again, it doesn’t always matter if you are right. What counts is how much you take the other person’s feelings into account. HINT: Put a little energy into your relationship with a sibling—you won’t regret it.
