Virgo
(Aug. 23rd - Sept. 22nd)
What is it that you and a pig in mud
have in common right now? Nothing, you
would think, owing to your compulsion
for cleanliness and orderliness. Yet,
the real answer is, you're both
in your own element. Not only is the
Sun in your sign, of course, but so
is the productive Mars, placing at your
feet more projects to attack than seem
manageable. You couldn't be more
driven to succeed, tackling one technical
challenge after another. Just have patience
with yourself. Mars in your sign has
you in a bit of a hurry up mode. As
your own worst critic, you're the
last one to cut yourself any slack.
You know you'd rather learn it right
rather than quickly anyway. Knowledge
will automatically get absorbed and
applied simultaneously. Let others do
the driving around the full moon.
Libra
(Sept. 23rd - Oct. 22nd)
The greatest challenge many of you face
is the fine art of decision making.
Like the Scales that you are, both sides
of the balance sheet are brutally apparent
to you, each with their own appeal.
Taking a poll to ascertain where sentiments
lie is part of your considerate, diplomatic
nature. Yet ultimately the decision
is yours. Ordinarily this advisor would
suggest that it's not what decision
you make that's so critical but
more that you take the leap and actually
make a decision. But there is apparently
too much at stake right now to be so
cavalier. Perhaps this is one of those
times when you truly do need to sit
back and take the “fly on the wall”
approach. Once you've gathered enough
perspective, the decision ultimately
makes itself. In the interim, keep your
ideas to yourself. It's better strategy.
Scorpio
(Oct. 22nd - Nov. 21st)
Those who truly know you, realize therešs
a part of you they'll never know.
Such is the nature of you private, secretive
Scorpions. It is that curiosity to discover
what is hidden behind door number two
that often drives you. And that is part
of what makes you so successful your
relentless determination not to quit
until you've accomplished your goal.
This Virgo energy in the air suits you
well as you invest your sleuth-like
nature in highly specialized directions.
A role in CSI awaits you. On a more
superficial note, Venus in your sign
from the 7th forward gives cosmic permission
for a bit of sprucing up. Time to dawn
a new do, a new wardrobe or anything
else that puts a gleam in your eyes.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22nd - Dec. 20th)
The bigger picture is where it's
at for you Archers. That make sense
if you think about it. Once the arrow
is released, there are a myriad of directions
in which it can land. Hence your “sky
is the limit” philosophy. So how
dare someone come along and tell you
that the devil is in the details, when
you're perfectly content dwelling
on theory. Just indulge those dull and
boring souls who want to get technical
on you. After all, they're filling
in a lot of important gaps for you.
It looks like you're living up to
your reputation for being one of the
more lucky people on the planet. Those
guardian angels seem to be alive and
well these days. Just don't get
gullible or greedy and take them for
granted. Hang closer to home during
the full moon.
Capricorn
(Dec. 21st - Jan. 19th)
Known for your ability to work within
a given structure, you pride yourself
in your organizational abilities. Taking
full advantage of the resources at your
disposal has made you the success you
are today. Wise and shrewd, you recognize
those who can teach you valuable lessons,
be they factual or experiential. An
element of deja vu seems pervasive.
Remember that despite your rather cultivated
sense of humor, others see you as reserved,
not to mention serious. Step out of
your shell, as there's a good deal
of socializing in the works. Some travel
is possible, making pragmatic sense.
Around the full moon on the 21st step
out and see what's happening in
your “hood.”
Aquarius
(Jan. 20th - Feb. 18th)
There's no mistaking the spark of
the Aquarian as they are the souls least
likely to conform to anything. Their
sense of logic, although brilliant,
defies explanation. Foolish is the Water
Bearer who disallows intuitive hunches
free reign. You might as well tell an
inventor to stop imagining things. The
one challenge you might confront is
the determination to follow things through
to completion, as you may be convinced
there ought to be a better way. Around
the full moon on the 21st, indulge a
minor fantasy, even if it costs a bit
more than you anticipated. Career wise
you seem to do no wrong. Just donšt
get lazy in the midst of all the appreciation
and adoration.
Pisces
(Feb. 19th - March 20th)
Being one of the more nebulous, or shall
we say diffuse signs of the zodiac,
you, like your fellow mutable signs
such as Gemini and Sagittarius, have
a bit of an aversion to being tied down
to specifics. Yet, that is what is entailed
in the current process. So just look
at this as one of those small sacrifices
you need to make in order to attain
those lofty, idealistic self-imposed
goals. Luckily, as you float through
life, you have a knack for aligning
yourself with those who happily provide
you with just the tools you need. It's
along the lines of “when the student
is ready, the teacher appears.”
It will be hard to resist those escapist
tendencies during the full moon on the
21st. And take note of your dreams.
There's a fantasy fiction film in
the making right there.
