HOROSCOPE

(AUG. 23 – SEPT. 22)

Happy birthday, dear Virgo! With fair Venus in your sign this month, it’s a great time to buy wardrobe goodies. It’s also a marvellous time to schmooze—Mars makes you unusually assertive and direct. And the Sun in your sign will attract

things your way, which means you can’t lose. Plus you have money

making ideas. You wanted more?

(NOV. 22 – DEC. 21)

This month the Sun is at high noon in your chart, casting a flattering light on you. This means bosses and people in authority think you’re fantastic. (Do nothing to correct this impression.) Accept increased responsibilities that come your way because you will not have to do anything special to shine in their eyes. In fact, romance with someone richer, older or worldlier is likely. (Ooh la la!)

(FEB. 19 – MARCH 20)

You will need more sleep this month. Just accept this. Your focus will be on partnerships and close friendships, but it all looks

favourable. A casual relationship could become committed. Expect to travel some

where with enthusiasm. Meanwhile, surprise opportunities related to your job will fall into your lap. (They could be connected with travel or a foreign country.)

(MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

Focus on home, family and your private life this month. You might relate to a parent more than usual. Plan to redecorate and entertain at home, as well as explore realestate deals. Something unexpected with siblings or friends will expand your life in a joyful way. The same influence bodes well for actors, writers, editors, teachers

and those in sales and marketing.

(SEPT. 23 – OCT. 22)

Your year (birthday to birthday) is coming to an end, so this is an excellent time to plan what you want your new year to be. How do you want it to be different from the last one? Start with a perfect world and scale back to your reality. A surprise with a friend or a group will delight you this month. (Don’t go overboard spend

ing your hard-earned money.)

(DEC. 22 – JAN. 19)

You want to travel this month; actually, you

want to do anything that moves you beyond your everyday boundaries and gives you a sense of grabbing more of life. Sign up for a course; learn something new. Romance with someone from another culture

or a different country could blossom. Meanwhile, surprise wealth might come your

way. (Mom always liked you best.)

(MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

This is an excellent month for you because you win on both counts. When it comes to your job, you are motivated and prepared to work hard to get better organized. In fact, this is a personal requirement that you will

set for yourself. But it’s not all work and no play— au contraire! An unexpected vacation, party or social function will thrill you.

(This could mean a new romance.)

(JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

It’s a busy month, which means you’ll hit the ground running. You will read, write and talk more than usual and be curious

about everything. It’s a strong month for actors, writers, editors, teachers and anyone who needs to promote or sell. An unexpected boost to your income or a job opportunity will delight you.

(Your sex drive is strong too.)

(OCT. 23 – NOV. 21)

It’s a popular month, and everyone wants to see you, especially creative, artistic types. A friend could become a lover. Work with others and be friendly because your connections can benefit you this month. Share your ideas to get their input. Meanwhile, something surprising will dazzle you and

boost your career.

(JAN. 20 – FEB. 18)

You want to turn over a new leaf this

month and be a better person. In addition to this noble aspiration, your sex drive is heightened and romance might knock your socks off. Partnerships, both platonic and romantic, will flourish. Expect to benefit from the wealth of someone. Your ambition is strong now as well. Wow, you want it all!

(APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

You love the pleasures of life—good food, good wine, good sex and a nice place to live. Happy news! This month is all fun and entertainment. Plan on a vacation, parties, theatre excursions, movies, sports events, stylish art openings and fun times with kids. A sudden boost to your wealth regarding home,

family or real estate will surprise.

(JULY 23 – AUG. 22)

Well, dear Leo, you are really laughing. With lucky Jupiter entrenched in your sign now, you are actually on a roll for the next several years. Expect good fortune, increased happiness and, in one to

two years, more money. Speaking of which, this month your focus is on earnings, cash flow and possessions. Buy treasures for yourself and loved ones. ■
