Aries (Mar21-Apr.19): Treat yourself to whatever tickles your fancy, whether it is a sumptuous dinner or the company of an attractive person. You may feel more comfortable when part of a group rather than going solo.
Taurus (Apr.20-May20): Dot those I’s and cross the T’s. Be sure to give your work a thorough going over to check for errors before handing in the finished product. Kick off your weekend by treating the object of your affection to something special.
Gemini (May21-June20): Don’t play favorites. When tasked with mediating between two opposing factions, make sure that all parties benefit equally from the result. Stay objective in discussions as your personal opinion may not be popular.
Cancer (June21-July22): You scratch their back, they’ll scratch yours. Understand that getting someone to do you a favor will require that you repay the deed in kind. Getting involved in someone else’s problems may create new headaches for you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Good karma comes back like a boomerang. Past deeds of generosity and kindness are likely to be rewarded by someone who admires your ethics. Enjoy the start of the weekend at a community event or local watering hole.
Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22): Make a commitment to excellence. No matter what task or job lies before you vow to give it the best effort that you are capable of giving. Display a bright and sunny disposition and it will be contagious to all you meet.
Libra (Sept.23-Oct.22.): Find the common ground. Even vast differences can be bridged if the parties involved look for ways to build a rapport. Stick with facts rather than opinions and others will have a tough time disputing your ideas.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make your move. Whether it is putting the finishing touches on a business deal or pursuing the object of your heart’s desire, you can take action. Enjoy the end of the week by treating someone to a round tonight.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Cupid may be aiming his arrows in your direction. Existing relationships may turn adventurous while those still in the hunt could find promising prospects. Don’t waste potential opportunities by staying home. Capricorn (Dec.22-Jan.19): Keep expectations reasonable. Setting the bar too high with business or romance only creates standards that are difficult to live up to. Let the chips fall where they may.
Aquarius (Jan.20-Feb.18): Wallflowers don’t get noticed. A bold and confident approach may be the best way to get eyes turning your direction and to attract potential romantic hookups. Honesty is the best policy when meeting new people.
Pisces (Feb.19-Mar.20): Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. You can overcome even the bleakest situation if you are determined to succeed. You will draw more attention through your actions rather than your words in social situations.
if August 25 is your birthday: You may be inspired but never tired, as the next four to five weeks unfold. New enthusiasms may have you ready to take the bit between your teeth in the business world. Embrace any opportunity that arrives on your doorstep in October as it may lead to a better future or bring you an abundance of contentment over the long term. This is the best month to make major decisions, key changes or to put important plans into motion. Anything that is good for you will unfold successfully. Vacations may not be in the stars for you in January when you may be burning the midnight oil to keep up with obligations. Steer clear of getrich schemes and romantic entanglements in March when you might be somewhat gullible.
