August 2007
Aries:: On the 1st, if you encounter a bit of frustration, try not to get, well, too frustrated. Sometimes frustration is just the universe's way of trying to get you to rethink your plans, or reassess your motivation, or reexamine your desires. Or maybe, the universe wants you to take a little break and get some sleep. By the 2nd and 3rd, frustration is a thing of the past: All of your ambitions are paying off, and you've never been so active. By the 7th and 8th, there could be some pretty serious flirtation going on in your world. On the 12th, your competitive streak comes to the fore. Whether it's sports or romance or both, you want to win-- and that probably means you will! At the very least, you give it your best. By the 17th, it's time to slow down and think about what other people in your life might need from you. On the 21st and 22nd, a very mysterious stranger could give you an extremely helpful tip. On the 26th, those goals you were trying to reach at the beginning of the month are looking very much in sight. Don't be surprised if you achieve a couple of them before the month is over. And don't give up if you encounter a little of that old frustration on the 30th and 31st
Taurus:: Get out your barbecue tongs and your lighter fluid and your 'Kiss the Chef' apron on the 1st and 2nd, because it's time for you to have a summertime party. It doesn't have to be anything major. No need for the crystal and linens. Just call a few of your nearest and dearest and ask them over. Tell them to bring tofu kebabs if they don't like hot dogs. Whip up a nice potato salad, throw ice cubes in the Kool Aid and prepare yourself for a little sharing and caring. Yep, it's high time you talked to your friends about what's on your mind: the good, the great, the bad and the so-so. By the 4th and 5th, you're feeling really glad that you got some input from your support network. Not only did they have helpful things to say, but they reminded you that you're not alone with your decisions. On the 11th and 12th, somebody might snag your 'Kiss the Chef' apron. Oh! Are there too many cooks in the kitchen? Don't give up your space at the grill. On the 17th, it's time for you to get fit. So hop to it! On the 21st and 22nd, count your pennies. How many dollars do they add up to? Ignore somebody who's being weird on the 26th, and on the 30th, why not plan a few more barbecues?
Gemini:: On the 1st and 2nd, you could find yourself sitting at your desk, staring out into space and dreaming about change. Where do your thoughts bring you? Are you climbing the Himalayas? Sunbathing in Acapulco, Mexico? Saving the world, one rain forest at a time? Launching a career as an advertising executive? Take a moment to jot down your thoughts. After all, many changes start out as fantasies. On the 5th, you may not have a lot of follow through, but you have a whole lot of fun. Enjoy whatever it is-- maybe sunshine, companionship, a swimming hole and running back to your car barefoot. Take pleasure in drinking sparkling apple juice on a hillside under the stars if that tickles your fancy. On the 10th, you might need to check your budget. Get to it if adjustments are needed. By the 14th, it's time for you to write that letter. (You know the one!) On the 15th, you'd better get to the post office and send it. By the 21st and 22nd, you're ready to take on something big with a partner. On the 26th, said partner presents you with a very intriguing, brand-new point of view. On the 28th and 29th, don't let a few misunderstandi
ngs get in your way.
Cancer:: Your mind, on the 1st, could be like the proverbial gypsy: It's wandering. Yes, your mind has its walking shoes on, its walking stick out, its kerchief on its head and a few extra bandages in its back pocket for its feet, just in case. That's right: As the month gets started, your mind is wandering. And it's really enjoying the walk! You could have all kinds of helpful inspirations during this time, so be sure and give yourself plenty of opportunities to stop and look around. By the 5th, the zanier your ideas, the better things turn out. On the 10th, you're in a highly emotional kind of space-- which is exactly where you thrive. Take advantage of it to make some big, exciting changes! Spend the day of the 15th communicating, and by the 16th and 17th, you're in a better position to negotiate a few tricky issues on the home front. If you feel selfish on the 21st and 22nd, maybe it's time to take a step back and make sure you're getting everything you need. If you've been neglecting yourself, you could be finding it very hard to give to others. On the 26th, try to be flexible, especially when it comes to money. On the 30th, you end the month with some good energy and a right-on intuition
Leo:: The 1st of the month could be the time when you begin to understand the lesson the less successful miners learned during the Gold Rush: Not all that glitters is gold. But before you get too down on things, take a minute to be thankful. Hey, at least you didn't waste the last of your drinking water pouring it on a whole bunch of sparkling pyrites. Now, that would have been really terrible! By the 3rd, you're already seeing the silver lining in the lesson you just learned. On the 8th, brainstorm with a few friends, and you could come up with a plan that's better than mining. Heck, it's even better than spinning straw into gold-- and far more practical. On the 11th and 12th, you achieve something you thought was out of reach, and you could attract some romantic interest while you're at it. By the 17th, you fix a problem. By the 21st, you're ready for serious romance. Get out there and explore! On the 26th, you could have a little ego clash. Or is that a relationship issue that's coming up again? Look at it hard before you decide what to do. On the 30th, don't get mad-- get creative. Try painting, singing, dancing or doing a little graphic designing. Any one of these is a great way to channel any pent-up aggression.
Virgo:: Do you feel like the proverbial tortoise? Do you feel like your coworkers are the proverbial hares? That they run around in all directions wasting their energy and overestimating their capacities while you stick to the job? In the end, is it you who makes it to the finish line while they're all still catching up on their sleep back at the starting point? Are you sick of it? On the 1st, you may well have had enough. If that's the case, then this month is the month to make some changes. Try a little philosophy on the 5th, and if that doesn't work, try some new ways of communicating on the 7th and 8th. By the 13th and 14th, you're more than ready to have a couple of great days-- and you do. Take advantage of all this good energy to start a new project or two. On the 19th, delve deeply into a project that excites your intellectual curiosity. By the 23rd and 24th, you're ready for romance, and romance might be calling you on the phone and asking you out on a date. Don't forget to smile and bat your eyelashes! On the 30th and 31st, it's important that you respect other peoples' opinions, even if you're right and they're wrong.
Libra:: Your schedule gets a little disrupted on the 1st. So what? Take advantage of the snafu and head to the beach or park. Take your towel and your suntan lotion and your bathing suit and a nice, easy read and enjoy the summer. By the 5th, you're back to work, and one of your associates could be giving you a funny look. Use your natural diplomatic skills to see just what's up with them, then figure out what your next move ought to be. On the 9th and 10th, you could be in for a little more disruption when it comes to your routine. This time, instead of heading out to the beach, put your head down and get through it. This project must get finished! By the 16th and 17th, you're in a terrific-- and extremely flirtatious-- place. The great outdoors is calling, and so is that very attractive somebody. Get outside, preferably hand-in-hand with them! By the 21st and 22nd, you're ready to communicate. Don't let a little depression on the 23rd or 24th knock you for a loop. Get through it with some exercise. By the 28th and 29th, you've regained your natural harmony.
Scorpio:: You're ready for romance on the 1st. It's been a long, hot summer-- so when that cool drink of water walks into, say, your computer hardware store and asks if they can hire you to debug their personal computer's software while they sunbathe by the pool, smile and say 'yes!' Here's a bet that you two are going to have lot in common (you both enjoy sunbathing by the pool while sipping lemon drinks? Wow!). By the 3rd, you might need to check in with your mood. Are you feeling a little bit hurt and angry because they didn't call you back right away? Do you think there's a better way you could react? Maybe instead of being hurt and angry you could just call them? Maybe they lost your phone number and have been hoping you'd get in touch with them? Anyway, try it out. On the 8th, focus on business, and on the 13th and 14th, discuss some of your feelings with your friends. They might have a helpful insight or two. On the 18th, 19th and 20th, everything is going your way. (So make sure you know which way you actually want to go.) On the 24th, you work well with somebody at work, and by the 29th, this could blossom into a romance of its own!
Sagittarius:: If, on the 1st, you just can't seem to get revved up to start the day, maybe it's time for you to start going to bed a little earlier. Yes, it's true that in the summertime the sun stays up longer and you want to go to bed later. But if you're feeling worn out, it could be a sign that you need to slow down. If at all possible, spend some time lying in the sun by the water. This is one of the best places to catch up on your sleep-- just don't forget to apply sun block! By the 5th, you're revved up and ready to go. See what a difference a little catnap in the sun can make? By the 10th, you could be in a very mystical state of mind. Maybe your mood is veering toward the transcendental. Maybe you're ready to make a career change. Maybe you're about to fall in love. Go with it, and find out. On the 16th and 17th, you need to be clear about what you think is fair. Don't stand for anything less! Goodwill abounds around you on the 21st and 22nd. Feels good, no? Well, there's nothing like goodwill abounding to remind you what it's all about, right? By the 28th and 29th, it might be time for another couple of sunny catnaps. Meow!
Capricorn:: If you aren't building sandcastles with high modern architectural flair and technologically elaborate bridge systems that span their moats on the 1st, you're probably performing in a barefoot beach ballet. Yes, as the month gets started, you're feeling extraordinarily creative. And that feels good! By the 5th, this feeling of creativity has morphed into a desire for creative romance. And it's extremely likely that creative romance is just what you'll get this month! Whether you meet a fellow sandcastle fanatic or a barefoot ballet fan, you'll find something in common with a lover of the arts. On the 9th and 10th, you might have to deal with an issue or two. Get all your errands out of the way, and you'll be in for some very high achievement days on the 13th and 14th. On the 19th, organize a potluck, and on the 21st, don't be afraid to dream. The 23rd and 24th could see any number of these dreams coming true -- and you'll be feeling pretty great at this time, no matter what stage of achievement your plans are in. On the 29th, put on your bathing suit and take off your shoes. Then head to the pool for a little impromptu water ballet!
Aquarius:: There are days-- like the 1st-- when you feel like spending too much money. Instead of getting out your credit card, why not go for a run or a long walk or a hike or a swim in the ocean? After all, overspending is just a way of trying to make a change in your life. And getting healthy is a much better way to go about making that kind of change. By the 3rd, you could have made a very important discovery. Does being in nature make you feel more balanced than a new pair of designer shoes ever could? On the 7th and 8th, you lock eyes with a very seductive somebody while on your new daily sunset jog. Get their number! You never know where this could lead! By the 13th and 14th, the more you look beneath the surface of your emotional reactions, the more grounded you feel. By the 19th, you want to focus on your career. How satisfied are you? On the 23rd and 24th, discipline yourself-- if you feel like staying home and watching TV instead of going for your sunset jog, don't! Everything around you is as brilliant as you are on the 25th and 26th-- which is pretty brilliant! End the month, on the 31st, by hiding your credit card under your mattress. Keep it there for a few days.
Pisces:: You start the month, on the 1st, with some very transformative energy. Whether you've made a discovery about yourself (or about the world around you, about somebody close to you or about the way things work in general), you've gotten some new insights that will help guide you from now on. On the 5th, whether you're writing love letters, receiving love letters or both, there are one heck of a lot of love letters circulating in your vicinity! Make a nice dinner for yourself and read them over. What's more delicious? Your organic salad or the sweet sentiments expressed in those pages? On the 10th, it's more romance, romance, romance for you. You're very much appreciated and admired by the people around you. On the 14th, you might have to examine an old pattern you have when it comes to relationships. Try not to just react to a problem that comes up the way you always do. This could be a real chance to do something different. On the 19th, watch out at work. Somebody thinks you're a pushover. You aren't, but you'll have to show them the hard way (by pushing back!). On the 24th, you could help somebody in a serious way. On the 27th and 28th, you start to wind down the month with some great energy, and on the 31st, you might have to solve a little love puzzle.
September 2007
Aries-Financial and social affairs begin to move forward after a period of lag. Opportunities in both these areas of life more readily appear when you are engaging in leisurely activities--vacationing, going to parties, and taking a break from the busy pace of your life. You continue to be busy running errands and taking care of business, and you could find yourself especially harried mid-month. Changes in work and health regimes are in store, whether it’s an adjustment in your working environment or job tasks, or a brand new job on the horizon.
Taurus-Your drive to make money continues to be strong this month. Activities with, and attention to, a close partner are in focus. Feelings of being misunderstood in your personal relationships disappear after the first week of September, when you become more dynamically involved. Flaws in a love affair (or, for some, a creative project) come to light in September, demanding changes in your approach. This month and in the months to come, it’s time to take a relationship to a new level of responsibility, or to re-evaluate your romantic needs altogether.
Gemini-Opportunities to make friends abound this month--others seem to magically come to you without much effort on your part! Problems with work or health ease and these areas of life move forward dramatically. Challenges in domestic matters and with (or surrounding) family members arise this month. Special attention to your domestic life is essential, and September begins a long-term trend in which you feel the need to organize your home and family life. An opportunity period occurs for you on the 12-14, when relationships, travel, and fun are the themes.
Cancer-You are filled with plans and ideas this month, but more inclined to put them into action in October. This works best for you, as you need time to collect your thoughts. Financial matters improve dramatically in September. Pressures begin to ease, and a financial burden lifts. This improves your overall mood. Problems with communication systems, siblings, neighbours, and machinery or equipment demand immediate attention. It’s time to take more responsibility by running important errands and getting your paperwork in order. A love affair moves forward quite suddenly, and with gusto.
Leo-This month, flaws in your financial affairs are revealed and demand important action. Money matters are challenged yet strong--you are ready to take the necessary steps to get spending under control and your finances organized. September marks the beginning of a long-term trend in which managing your personal income more effectively is in focus. Challenges with a significant other can occur around the 9-10, and likely revolve around money. Relationships with family and domestic matters improve after a period of stagnation. Social activity continues to keep your agenda busy and active.
Virgo-Health and self-image issues become a strong priority this month. A solar eclipse in your sign on the 11th necessitates the need for rest in the week before and after the event. Much of the energy in your life this month has a magical quality to it as things are just automatically going in a certain direction. It is important to be intuitive and allow the natural course to show you the way to the next step. The 17-26th is excellent for you--love finds you, and others respect your opinions and character.
Libra-From the 11-18th, a revelation comes to you that has the power to change your life. Listen carefully to others while honoring your intuition as well. Money matters move forward in September. Delays you have been experiencing with funds and possessions disappear. Your self-confidence improves, although you are still a little more insular than usual, enjoying peace and quiet and time to reflect. You are taking pleasure in privacy for the time being. A partner’s job changes may affect you, and partnership matters require special attention in the last week of the month.
Scorpio-This month, a partner’s attitude and affairs begin to move forward, serving to ease challenges and to bridge gaps between you and a special someone. Singles feel more confident. Your personal projects begin to move forward and a sense of relief contributes to a hopeful mood. You are picking up much important information intuitively this month, so keep an “idea“ journal. Career pressures are easing, as you are entering a new long-term trend in which you are less concerned about public image and more interested in long-term happiness goals.
Sagittarius-Potentially dramatic career changes, disruptions, or activities are in store for you by the middle of September. Rest up in the first weeks of the month in order to ground yourself and make sure you are meeting your responsibilities to your satisfaction. September marks the beginning of a long term trend in which your career goals become a priority. Challenges between the demands of a special relationship and those of your professional life arise from the 15-19th. A romantic revelation keeps life exciting in the last week of September.
Capricorn-Work and the demands of daily life continue to be hectic this month, but you become more pleasantly busy as the month moves along. Although there may have been some confusion or stagnation in your love life recently, September is easier for romantic expression and attention. With your ruler, Saturn, moving into fellow earth sign, Virgo, your life begins to stabilize, life becomes neater and more fulfilling, and you are more able to meet your responsibilities happily. This long-term trend boosts your confidence. Life is becoming less stressful and more fulfilling!
Aquarius-In September, stimulating activity along romantic, pleasurable, and creative lines continues to enliven your life, dear Aquarius. Career matters begin to move forward with pleasing results, as do travel and educational plans. Family relationships and domestic life are strong. A close partnership intensifies. Whether this makes you feel more deeply connected or it challenges you with mini relationship crises depends on how you feel about this increased intimacy! Issues of intimate sharing as well as joint finances come into high focus, demanding attention now and in the months to come.
Pisces-Relationships and especially close partnerships become a strong issue this month with a Solar Eclipse occurring in Virgo, your opposite sign. Seeing the “other side” of the story will be in high focus now and in the next few months. Your recent displays of independence are likely the topic, particularly around the 9th. You may need to reassure and soothe. Some relationship tests are likely, as flaws are revealed in your current setup. Now is the time to make important improvements. Family life continues to be especially cantankerous, calming down in October.
