You seem to shine when it comes to practical matters or those involving work and career. You have an easy way with superiors or those in authority and can always manage to get the most out of any skill or ability you have. You like work and career. This day should go along fairly well. You can demonstrate great understanding and sensitivity about the needs of others and may find one or two people drift your way in hopes of finding insight to their own problems. You are understanding and are in a good position to communicate ideas and suggestions to others. Close relationships, whether they are from a working situation or from your personal life, tend to make you
feel optimistic. There is an opportunity to share your support today. You listen and express your thoughts well and there is a healthy amount of interaction between co-workers. Learning what makes people tick is a pastime you seem to enjoy, not necessarily to pry, but for lessons and a feeling of universality. The people you come to know enjoy your company and the mental zaps you offer. It doesn’t take too long before you are hard at work however, as you take great pride in what you can accomplish. Time and space afford you the time to progress. A couple of projects you have been trying to close become completed today. This may mean that funding is accepted or someone adopts an animal or a company customer decides to double his or her order. Tonight you show your appreciation to your housematess.
You will want to wait until after the middle of next month to make any firm job moves or investments. You could regret any big changes that are not clearly considered first. Knowing that business offers are few and far between, it would still be good to take reasonable time in thinking through your answer-particularly if someone is pushing you to give an answer quickly. Both your personal growth and your career may depend on how you can handle some very sensitive material. You will often benefit from analytical insights. Take a little time out this afternoon from all this thinking and celebrate what this day is really all about . . . You! Co-workers may want to take you out to lunch or dinner. Surprises happen.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Perhaps this is a day for employee review. Whatever the case, it seems a good day for checking your work and taking on an attentiveness as to the next step up the professional ladder. You can come across to others in a very strong and confident way. You have a take-charge sort of manner. You are a great doer and others accept your commanding nature. You are also a good team player. Today, you may have the feeling that the past has been a classroom that will ready you for the successful years ahead. You can achieve and soar beyond all you had considered for your life. A new love is likely to be introduced to you soon. A new method of healing is of interest to you and you may attract a friend’s interest and decide to attend a seminar together. The progress you have made with regard to your ability to get along with negative people has been most obvious, yet sincere! You help to teach others to look at the real culprit, which is fear. You are a born doer, with an extraordinary drive to accomplish and achieve in life. Your ambitions are followed with the will to get things done. You try hard and you always push on toward whatever goals you have in mind. Being more in touch with your emotional roots is a keynote of a new cycle that takes hold in your life. You have a strong focus on family life-parents, children, relatives and the whole domestic scene. You are likely to want to build a better foundation by looking for good investments; real estate becomes more important now. You feel a love of order and law-an appreciation for responsibilities and duty. Problems are valued for the lessons they represent. This is a good day to solve problems and make important decisions. You will find a way around most any obstacle and are in control and able to guide yourself with ease. You are not one to show concern over property and possessions; however, today you may be talking to co-workers and decide that they may have some good ideas with regard to safeguarding family possessions. Your life is marked by a greater involvement with friends and groups who share some of your ideals. Talking together may bring about some future plans. A loved one is an imaginative one this evening.
Aquarius (January 20- February 18)
Your day consists of helping others. You will discover new ways to communicate that will make conversations and interactions go well. This may mean some sort of hearing difficulty that gets better or a sign language technique that is created. Perhaps you and a friend are in a library. An informative dialogue with an older person is constructive. There may be a new way to help the older person communicate after a stroke or after some other physical difficulty. Later today you may decide to shop a bit for yourself. You are motivated to improve your physical appearance. A spa, exercise group, diet choices, hair color or new clothes may be in your plans this coming weekend. A sibling or friend may enjoy joining you for part of the adventure.
When it comes to professional development, you may find that you and your co-workers are doing much better than last year. There may be awards or rewards for your efforts. Now is a good time to find ways to take more time away from the workplace, particularly in order to celebrate the art of living wisely. As the saying goes, “all work and no play, makes jack a dull boy.” your many responsibilities and obligations may keep you away from those that would offer you much-needed support, but today you will enjoy the praise. One part of your life is ending now and new areas are opening up for you. Travel, good health, more money, new people and many other things will help
you to open up and be more of that free spirit you like to be.
