Astrograph - Friday

Consider what you want and head in that direction. A change you’ve been wanting to make can now be considered seriously. Lay the foundation and start the process. Don’t wait for someone to make the first move. It’s up to you to go after your goals. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

If someone questions your motives, take a more in-depth look to ensure that you are making the changes you want and not just trying to please someone who is pressuring you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

Don’t expect others to do things for you or hand you an opportunity on a silver platter. If you want something, pursue it wholeheartedly so you can call it your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22):

Listen to reason and recognize the cockamamie. Knowing the difference between what’s doable and what’s not will be what counts at the end of the day. Trust your instincts, not someone’s bluster.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21):

You don’t have to become something you are not to prove yourself to others. Learn to love who you are and to associate with people who value your friendship. Avoid emotional foolhardiness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

If you negotiate on your own behalf, you’ll get what you want. Whether you are in pursuit of more attention, cash or a better lifestyle, determination, persuasiveness and a little patience are favored.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19):

Take care of personal matters to avoid getting into a senseless dispute. Have a clear picture of the changes you want to put into play and proceed openly.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20):

Listen to someone who has never let you down. You may not like what you hear, but it will be good for you to hear it. Avoid temptation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Gather information and explore your options. Don’t let your emotions cause you to forgo something vital for someone else’s sake. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

A change is heading your way. Get ready to take advantage of a chance to learn something new, travel somewhere exciting or spend time with a loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

You’ll be torn between what you want and what you know is best for you. It’s OK to think big, but taking baby steps will help you avoid a costly mistake.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

How you help others will influence the outcome of a situation that’s important to you. Partnerships and sharing should be your top priorities. Love and romance will ease stress.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Take care of family affairs. Update contracts and personal documents, and do your best to lower your overhead. Don’t trust someone else to handle your affairs properly.
