You seem to be handling your financial situation much better now than in the past-perhaps you intuitively know that budgeting actually has positive results. It is your turn for financial blessings. Close relationships offer a lot of potential for growth and good advice toward future investments is yours for the asking. A marriage or other partnership can raise high hopes and give your spirits a boost. People close to you are optimistic and have good plans. Faith, optimism and a yearning to explore all kinds of new horizons are some of the main points in your life at this time. Travel, education and other ways to stretch your horizons open new doors of opportunity. Religious, philosophical and cultural matters are likely to have a special appeal. Law, politics, education, travel, religion-these are some of the areas where some emotionally-charged drama will be played. Good fortune and plain old luck surround you today. It is easy for you to make correct decisions, find the right path and move forward where home concerns are present. Life’s problems seem manageable and easy to solve. Relationships, whether business, personal or within the social scene in general, are very important during this time and can have a very decided influence on your career and workplace. You may find that a more impersonal attitude is the key. You may decide to make some changes in your physical image this fall-have you chosen the body you want do not give up . . . Changes happen in little steps.
You will often pause to appreciate the beauty around you. Something different today has come to your attention. At the same time, everything could take on added importance. Be careful that you do not overspend or indulge too much just now. There is charisma, self-transformation and the development of personal power in your life now. Remember, tiny causes can lead to big effects. This is a time of profound changes on the personal level-psychologically and perhaps physically as well-as if you are transforming into an entirely new person. Insights into your deeper, more spiritual nature are available to you. You may be able to discover whole new areas of your psyche or mind that have been closed up to now. You are clearer as you help others.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
You could be on top of the roof or in the basement today. The idea is to inspect and find anything that needs repair within your home or possessions. As you move throughout your living space, be sure to stay safe and have someone nearby if you climb up a ladder. You will be pleased at how little needs to be done to prepare for the winter days ahead. If you do not have time to make these repairs today, you will be making a list of things that gain your attention as you inspect; also note the needed funds. You come up with new solutions. Later today you may be attending a concert, opera, musical or some other fun performance in your city. The best part of this entertainment is the sharing of the event with your loved ones. Obtaining and exchanging information takes on more emotional significance for you now. Being more involved with neighbors or siblings satisfies a deep emotional need. Communicating feelings becomes an important factor in today’s activities. The people you are around today tend to be remembering the old school days. Perhaps it is time for a reunion. At this time you may see that your friends want you to jump on the diet train with them. This could be a time to go along as some of their personal changes may also benefit you. You could show off your abilities to bring insight and helpful information to their attention regarding matters concerning health. You are able to encourage each other. It is through teaching others that one is also taught. Put your mind and body to work and take care of any chores or errands you may have-mental discipline comes easily. Repairs, shopping and such may help you feel more organized and ready for the workweek ahead. Problems and obstacles around your living area, that have previously been confounding, should find easy explanations. You may take an interest in your own psyche, religion and spiritual ideas later this afternoon. This is a time to absorb and take in new impressions and information. In summary, here is a natural breaking point in life, a time to let go of what has been occupying you for the last years and assume a new attitude. Perhaps this would also be a good time to think about asking for a raise this next week.
Aquarius (January 20- February 18)
Perhaps this is a good time to think and study-you have a real appreciation for ideas and thoughts. You may find yourself catching up on your reading, writing a letter or making a special phone call. A sporting activity later this afternoon will have positive results. You will find your mind beginning to turn away from the material and to be concerned with more inward and spiritual ideas. All of this will become clear soon. This time marks a change of direction for you, away from the material and glitter, toward inner needs and security. You will find yourself more concerned with maintaining and strengthening your position, rather than pushing outward. This should also be a time filled with opportunities and friendships.
You find yourself in a very practical mood today. Whatever activity fills your day, you will manage very well. There may be a few contemplative moments as well. Your home environment, friends and surroundings in general will hold your attention. You could be visiting and discussing different ways in which to enjoy the weekends this fall season. Perhaps this includes season passes, group sports, exercise activities or plans for one night out a week with friends. You could talk about setting up a time schedule for some sort of refurbishment project around your home, before the winter months begin. You are a revolutionary when it comes to the domestic scene. You have very special
insights to share.
