HOROSCOPE

VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP You have no trouble coming up with original and witty ideas. You may however, spend most of the morning at your desk returning phone calls. Things that are strange, eccentric and novel seem to challenge you. Result: you have a traditional response at times. You are learning to enjoy hard work and you persist. You learn how to manage speaking–regardless of how uncomfortable you may feel about being in front of people. You may find you have a future speaking in public or in leading a lecture series. You enjoy drawing on that sense of security you get from your friends and family. A social affair will present opportunities for networking. This could just mean a short stop by a gathering place before going home. Your energy is positive.

LIBRA 23 SEP – 22 OCT An important bond, perhaps with an older person or someone in authority, may come into focus today. There could be some tension or sense of opposition requiring compromise or negotiation on your part. There is an opportunity for understanding and even growth. Competition seems to spur you into achieving things you never thought you could accomplish. This afternoon you will be involved in some competitive activities at work–expect the highest achievements out of yourself. Teamwork is fun and you inspire others to achieve. You may be able to bring a group together with words or ideas that transport others. This evening you enjoy a favorite hobby, book review or perhaps an art show. Movies, books and all forms of escape could prove enjoyable.

SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV Information that you have been questioning will begin to take shape and prove useful. This next period is one of action and embarking on new projects. You may have a tendency to take refuge in duties and responsibilities rather than face issues that might put you through some changes–today is different. Puzzling questions are present now and there could be a feeling of being tested. If you are never questioned or puzzled, you might never discover the things you need to learn. Perhaps you yearn for a big problem to solve. You may become interested in continued education this fall–perhaps to learn a new skill. You will soon have an opportunity to learn new things. Consider teaching citizenship or driver’s education this winter–you will be educated.

SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC The coordination of a business conference may be on your shoulders today and tomorrow. This is easy stuff, but if you feel you need extra help, all you have to do is ask. Requests are good but it is best not to make any demands. This particular time promises to be competitive. Cooperate with others but back away from those who are too aggressive. You find it easy to work with sensitive material, touching upon the more vulnerable areas of the mind or self. You are able to handle these delicate matters without ever breaking stride–for you view the emotional and tender areas of the human psyche as natural. The most important thing that guides you is the truth. This evening your friendships play a most important part in your day.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 19 JAN There is a relentless getting down to essentials that make your sense of practical vision very deep. You have a sense of how to manipulate sensitive areas of the public. Perhaps you work for a group that is involved in the study of statistical matters. You may have come upon some answers regarding the cause of some demented character flaw or a plant that may promote healing. Research and statistics and writing your findings could be very important. You have new information about a financial situation that can leave you smiling. There is an emphasis on close relationships and ideas of fairness and harmony concerning young people this evening–you may be the go-between. Tonight you encourage family members to volunteer to help a charity.

AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB This is a time when job and family become important in the way you manage your time. They need you and you may need them as you make further plans for your own future. You may find that friends and many personal interests are set aside for a short while–travel and time are gaining your foremost attention. Your life path may be redefined and you may see your profession heading in a new direction. If you see that you would do better in public relations, or in some other department, you could start a project that would help you move into that change. When higherups recognize your potential, the results could be a move toward a different environment. Your talents could be in demand in more than one place–an increase in salary is due.

PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MAR You have a lot of passion to pour into career decisions. There is a positive self-attitude that comes across quite strong. This attitude is not necessarily as selfish as it is forthright. Eliminating the trivial is all-important; focus is the goal. Discipline is no problem, but you may be too authoritarian, assertive and somber some of the time. Listen to yourself so that you can change any tendency to be abrupt in your response to others. You are involved in a day that requires an intense mental effort. You work hard and your hard work pays off. Exercise or take in a massage this afternoon– perhaps with a friend or loved one. A massage will release the tensions. Neighbors are friendly; accept invitations they might extend to you at this time.

ARIES 21 MAR – 19 APR Gut feelings don’t originate in the tummy, but in the right side of the brain. You operate with your gut feelings today and probably fare better than others who make decisions without much information. Sales, communication and the arts are areas where you excel. This has been a month of rapid growth and recognition for your hard work, mentally and physically. On the other hand, this day affords you the opportunity to decide on a new moneymaking opportunity. On this occasion you will need to not only use your intuitive talent, but also ask about time of involvement and background questions. This could mean an investment opportunity as well as the possibility of working with a charity organization. You have optimism, now add wisdom.

TAURUS 20 APR – 20 MAY This is another high-energy day in which much can be accomplished. As a result you can expect a little boost with regard to a job well done. This is a great time to be with others, working as a team. The support you need is available and you, in turn, are able to lend support to others. There is a feeling that you can do anything if you set your sights high enough. You may decide to take a course in speed learning or some other way to absorb facts quickly. You get the time-consuming chores out of the way. There is optimism and a tendency to take on new challenges. Friends and group sports may be enjoyed tonight. It is easy to see what you care about. Your sense of appreciation is sharpened and you do special favors for your family this evening.

GEMINI 21 MAY – 21 JUN You are ready to socialize before the day even begins. Although you may be tempted to stay home or get ready for some party and goof off from your responsibilities, you are actually in a good position to make much progress at work. You may shine in your particular job and find that practical insights come with ease. You could represent or speak for your company or communicate about your skills. It is interesting what a change in attitude will do for the day’s work. Juggling your time between career and domestic activities is a necessity. Money does not buy what it used to and you may want to confer with a friend before you go on a shopping expedition later today. A different place to shop may give you better budgeting options.

CANCER 22 JUN – 22 JUL It is easy for you to make correct decisions, find the right path and move forward in your career. You have a lot of energy to pour into practical decisions. You may need to put a careful watch on your inclination to appear commanding. Right now, the key to career moves involves attending to nagging details– whatever you have put off or neglected. Attention to matters of health and finding positive stress relief techniques are important. This is a great time, when good fortune and plain old luck surround you. There is a feeling that everything is doable if you set your sights high enough. There is optimism, faith and a tendency to take chances at the deepest emotional levels. New and deeper powers are being awakened in you.

LEO 23 JUL – 22 AUG Support and recognition should be forthcoming from the public and from family and friends. You feel at home in the world and it more than takes care of you. You could have deep insights into your own feelings and inner, spiritual nature. You may be a bit moody, even dreamy and creative during this period. Your emotions and feelings could reach heights that are close to ecstatic. It is easy for you to find the proper motivation to fulfill your ideals or make your dreams into reality. Communicating is at a high just now. Your timing is perfect and those around you should find you most enthusiastic. Your own growth and success may be linked to questions of security–home and family, in particular. It is time to establish a home base.
