STARGAZING

With Norma R. Hagan

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THESE DATES:

The new moon on September 9 at 17 degrees Virgo is the right day to begin a new project. The full moon on September 25 at 2 degrees Aries is a bad day to go shopping. The new moon on October 9 at 15 degrees Libra should be a great day. Take advantage of it. The full moon on October 24 at 1 degree Taurus is a time of upheaval. Be extra careful. Saturn goes direct in Capricorn on September 6. Remember the proverb: “Well begun is half done!”

YOUR ZODIAC SIGN ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20)

You should be noticing a huge improvement in your life and in how you feel. Other people will be more magnanimous and see your side of things. The absence of Uranus in your sign, together with the planet Saturn going direct on September 6, are important and should bring good news on the 7th.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 TO MAY 20)

You may find it difficult to keep your life on an even keel. With the planet Uranus in Taurus, it’s hard to stay steady and calm. Things keep changing. Thank goodness Saturn will give you a steady helping hand, and Jupiter has moved into a position to boost your finances.

GEMINI (MAY 21 TO JUNE 20)

Try not to be stubborn, especially with your loved ones. Venus, the love planet, will be in a difficult position relative to aggressive Mars. Just be quiet and try not to argue until this aspect passes. Mercury, your ruler, goes from Virgo to Libra on September 22. After that you’ll have more fun and less work.

CANCER (JUNE 21 TO JULY 22)

You Cancers are known for your sympathy and empathy. Your desire to help others is legendary. Just be sure to save time and energy for your own affairs. You can get too involved, emotional and feel overwhelmed. A Taurus will be a good new friend to you.

LEO (JULY 23 TO AUGUST 22)

You have a very strong personality and usually prefer to concentrate on one thing at a time. Now you seem to be focused on getting your work done, so you will be ready to have a good time. A fabulous foreign vacation is on your horizon.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 22)

You are a thinker, reader and terrific planner. You like to organize and have everything where it should be. Saturn is now in a great position to help you. This is the time to improve your job situation. Look for a promotion.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22)

Your ruler, Venus, spends most of September and October in the water sign, Scorpio, so you are apt to be focusing on those who are closest to you. Your feelings are apt to come to the fore, and with Saturn now in Capricorn, that can cause you to worry, so plan more fun activities.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 22)

With helpful Jupiter occupying your sign, things should be going better than usual. Take advantage of the good things and look for opportunities to make your life better. What you do now can help you in the future. Going to college and taking courses that truly interest you are favored.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21)

You Sagittarians are prophetic and sense what is t o come. With your ruler, Jupiter— the good luck planet—headed your way, you know things are going to get better. Fun foreign trips, courses of study and new people who add jo y to your life are all on your horizon.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 19)

With your ruler, Saturn, in your sign, you serious Capricorns can accomplish many things. Pay attention to your most adventurous ideas—academic studies, a new business or a serious endeavor. You can be a geologist, chemist or other down-to-earth professional.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 TO FEBRUARY 18)

Your ruler, Uranus, has changed signs from excitable Aries to down-toearth Taurus, making you more stable and fixed than usual. Staying on course and doing your absolute best is the way to go. Smart Geminis, talented Libras and fellow Aquarians are your best friends.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 TO MARCH 20)

Your ruler, Neptune, has been receiving astrology’s best aspect, a trine, from the lucky planet Jupiter. So, the good times have been rolling and are likely to continue. Enjoy! Logical Virgos and inscrutable Scorpios are very important to you now.
