This is a great time to be with others and to work as a team. Discoverin­g what you truly believe in-fighting for it, even-is a high personal priority. Religion, law, politics, travel and higher education are some of the arenas where this takes place. This is a time of testing your limits to see how far you can go. Learning what makes people tick is exciting and enlighteni­ng psychologi­cal informatio­n. Your instinctiv­e orientatio­n at this time is toward getting down to the essentials and starting over from scratch-healing comes from destroying the roots of a disturbanc­e. An emphasis on close relationsh­ips and a preoccupat­ion with ideas of fairness and harmony are part and parcel of the mental cycle you have just begun.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are powerfully motivated, even driven, and there is a tendency to be impulsive. The tendency is to act first and ask questions later. You have blind courage and sheer guts-a self-starter. Now that you have the idea, know that power struggles could occur today. You will be able to overcome any of these difficulti­es with your sense of awareness. You set a good example for others. A burst of creativity is strong this afternoon and you enjoy putting your creative skills and talents to use. You will find a change of subject, including others in the decision making, praise, constructi­vely working with others are just what your department or division needs. You look to home and family

for giving and receiving the most important support and encouragem­ent.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

You have discovered some ways to save money and now is the time you also give confidence to others. You will benefit from analytical insights, getting to the heart of things-penetratin­g. You may be sought after for your recommenda­tions regarding work issues. This afternoon you may receive a phone call from a young person in your family. You will be able to be understand­ing and handle whatever is of importance to this youth. You are able to understand what is really true in most any situation and you have the words that will make a positive difference. You are at your most practical and can deal with others with the utmost respect. This is a time of much energy and drive, perfect for starting something out or taking care of business-very physical too.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

The makings for a bright and witty day are at hand. Your emotions or the emotions of others seem to finally be in balance and in sync with the group. At this time, you are not interested in stirring the pot, as it were. This is a period of great mental activity and heightened communicat­ion with others. Intellectu­alism, the exchange of ideas and the idea of being smart as a fox are the things that have special appeal now. You could be most persuasive with others and eloquent in speech and communicat­ion. You should be able to get your ideas across with ease. Your communicat­ion skills are at a high-water mark. General good feelings and a sense of support and harmony make this a happy time. Stress relief is what you give away today. You are in a strange mood this day-perhaps meditating. You sense things with the mind and understand that feelings are thoughts too. You enjoy moving quickly through your day but you may also realize that there is more to life than rushing through each day at high speed. Poetry, music and the arts interest you, as do psychology and the psyche. You may decide to return to school for more education. It is likely that you will be in some sort of social work soon. It might be fun to take a job placement test at one of the community colleges in your area; if it is not free, it will probably be a nominal price. This evening you could meet a friend for dinner. The stuff of gossip fascinates and calls to you from across the void. There is unrest. New forms of creativity and self-expression can be seen now, particular­ly as new avenues for accomplish­ment become available. This is very good, because as you know, the last few days have seemed rather stressful. Completing old, hard to end projects is a good accomplish­ment. Increased confidence and a more outgoing manner may be the key that opens many a new door in your career. Your support system consists of friends and family and becomes more secure now. While out this afternoon, you may find yourself waiting in line and wishing you had a little music streaming into your ears. You may become interested in meeting some of the people standing in line with you. You set a positive example for others to follow.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

You have an enhanced sense of personal possibilit­y and potential, as you work with others in a group project. You can see the abilities of others and gain ideas for your own advancemen­t in or out of the workplace. This is a time of positive psychologi­cal growth, which can lead to great personal success if you follow through with it. Everything points to your taking the initiative in the leadership arena. You will find yourself coming up with all sorts of favorable ideas. This could mean a new advertisin­g strategy or new sales approach. At home, you express your artistic talents as you look to relieve the stresses of the day. Perhaps pottery or some form of painting would be beneficial. You may gain recognitio­n soon for your artistic abilities.

Others usually follow your leadership. You may have noticed that people follow your lead because you have a way of working efficientl­y with advanced ideas, new methods or an eye for how things should be. This causes many people to come to you for answers or for something similar to enlightenm­ent. The people that are with you in the workplace are, again, around you to learn. If you want to obtain and exchange informatio­n, you will need to move into different surroundin­gs. You come up with plenty of new ideas for making the work you are doing run smoothly. Your instinctiv­e orientatio­n at this time is toward getting down to business and completing tasks. Your career goes

through important changes.
