HOROSCOPE

(JULY 23 – AUG. 22)

Ta-dah—you are the birthday girl! Enjoy this chance to truly energize yourself, and be glad of the opportunities that come your way through contacts and favourable circumstances. After all, this is your hour. Jupiter is now in your sign for the first time since 2003, and it will stay there for a year. That means this month and the

months ahead will be oh so fortunate.

(OCT. 23 – NOV. 21)

Oh, sexy Scorpio, the world is looking at you now because the Sun is at high noon in your chart, casting its flattering beam on you. It’s the truth. People in authority see you in a positive light, which is why they will ask you to do something extra. Do say yes because you don’t have to do anything special to impress them; they are already impressed. Milk this.

(JAN. 20 – FEB. 18)

This is the only time all year that the Sun is opposite your sign. Since the

Sun is your source of energy, this means you will need more sleep because it is now as far away from you as it ever gets. No biggie; just accept this. This polar opposition will also make you focus on partnerships and close

friendships this month.

(APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

This is the perfect month to cocoon at home or be involved with a parent. However, you might also have important discussions that lay the groundwork for what will unfold over the next 12 to 18 months, which could be improvements to where you live, residential speculation or even a move. Family life will

become happier and cozier.

(AUG. 23 – SEPT. 22)

Despite being aggressive in communicating with others (and, believe me, with Mars in your Third House, you are), you want to be reclusive this month. It’s as if you sense that next month will be the time for you to make your debut in the world. Use this quiet time to plan what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be

all about. Make a list. (You love lists.)

(NOV. 22 – DEC. 21)

Glory hallelujah! You are the travel

ler of the zodiac, and this month is all about new places and expanding your life experience. If you can’t travel, broaden your mind through further education, books and films. It’s also a great month to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, higher

education and the law.

(FEB. 19 – MARCH 20)

This month you’re on a kick to get better organized. You want to manage your life so that things flow efficiently and smoothly. You will strive to make every action count. Nevertheless, you might have to work according to someone else’s needs. While you aim for perfection, you will also think

about your health. You want it all.

(MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

You’ll love the pace this month because it suits you. Enjoy short trips, visit siblings, run errands and talk to everyone. Many of you will read and write more

than usual as well. Basically, life is accelerated because you’re on the go. Act on curious impulses. Meet new faces, see new places and learn

new things—all stuff you love.

(SEPT. 23 – OCT. 22)

Wake up to the fact that this is a popular month. Jump into social situations. Be proactive. Accept all invitations. Meet people by joining groups and clubs. Attend events. The reason for all this is that you will benefit from interacting with others this month. People will help you with ideas, contacts and advice.

(DEC. 22 – JAN. 19)

You intend to be somebody, which is why you want respect and you like to look good. (Someone has to buy those designer labels.) This month, you will check your finances, including details about insurance matters, inheritances, taxes and debt. You want to get the lay of the land so that you know what your scene is.

Information is power. Oh, yes.

(MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

You can now enjoy the most funloving, playful, flirtatious months of the year. Make “fun and pleasure” your motto. Accept all invitations. Enjoy sports events, the arts, the hospitality industry and playful times with children. Your sex drive is heightened, so why not dress hot? When life

offers you a party, show up!

(JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

You’re not casual about money—you like

good value and rarely pay retail. This month, you focus on money, earnings and

cash flow. You will also pay attention to what you own by organizing, maintaining, cleaning or repairing it. Why? It’s time to make sure what you own makes your life easier. Your possessions shouldn’t be a

burden—they should be an asset. ■
