FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD
This week’s cosmic excitement centers around the first new moon of the year. The Capricorn new moon is unique in its powerful practicality. It’s like the personal assistant who can help you make your wildest dreams come true by making a few phone calls. It’s the reality show makeover that skips through the demolition process to wind up neatly at the glorious “after” shots as though all the work were magically accomplished in the span of a commercial break. Of course, work is always work, and magic is largely illusion, but also falling into that “illusion” category is memory — history, any kind of story, really. Why not yours? You won’t even remember the work; this week will be such a blur. Much will happen at the intersection of will, strength and a smart plan
second transit of interest is the grand entrance Venus makes in Aquarius. You thought you loved your devices before? It’s a passionate affair in the weeks to come, as Aquarius will show you how technology can rock your world and improve your life in ways you never would have thought possible. Just be sure to look up every once in a while.
Happy birthday to Jason Bateman, whose Hollywood stock is rising by the hour these days. The producer and star of the highly acclaimed “Ozark” series will appear next month in the comedy “Game Night,” about a group of friends who meet regularly for game night and find themselves trying to solve a murder mystery. Having one’s sun, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn is the mark of a mogul.
(Sept. There’s a slow-motion dance occurring between you and a subject of great potential. It’s starting to require an unsustainable amount of restraint. Decisions will be made as to the direction and speed this trajectory should take, if it continues at all. Whether you decide or it’s decided for you, it will turn out well for you.

23-Oct. 23)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will find beauty wherever you are. Whether you’re under the cathedral arches or in the service elevator. There’s comfort in the sound of people calling out, also in the buzz of electric heaters. There is poetry in the ordinary tension of a grocery store line. There are songs in the blur of a passenger window.
