Double-check details regarding bank deposits, financial matters, earnings, cash flow and your possessions. These are the areas that are subject to errors throughout the next few weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Mercury is retrograde in your sign now, which makes you feel like you're losing it - but you're not. Don't beat yourself up if you forget things or misplace items. All will be well by mid-September.

Your ability to research something is excellent during the next few weeks. It seems like whatever you look for, you will find it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Parents or bosses you haven't seen for a while might materialize in your life again. This could be a chance to set things straight or to hold your head a little higher.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Travel plans definitely will be delayed or changed in the next few weeks. This is a guarantee. Allow extra time whenever you travel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Double-check details regarding shared property, inheritances, insurance issues and such, because this is an error-prone time for these areas of interest. Stay on top of things.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Ex-partners are back in your world again. Look confident, because living well is the best revenge. (Or so they say.)

YOU BORN TODAY: You are astute and practical. You're also friendly toward everyone. Many of you will be a student or teacher this year, because your capacity for research and understanding is at its very best. It's a good time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. This will not tend to be a year of action, but rather a year of waiting and development.
