Virgo
The Virgin (Aug. 22 — Sept. 22)
You probably have important conversational points to make at this time, but the “other” seems slippery or unavailable in some way. Do not seek your security in the heart of another now. You are meant to develop it on your own. Wear running shoes if you are traveling this week.
For All Signs Activities or relationships begun in late March, early April may now be yielding discouraging results. A promising beginning could appear to be, in reality, worthless. Set aside the temptation to play victim and simply fold. It is possible you may genuinely need to conclude the activity, but don’t make a totally emotional decision about it. Seek advice from people who know you well and who care about your welfare but make your own decision. (Meanwhile ignore your inner critic on the subject.)
Aries Read the lead paragraph carefully because it particularly applies to you. It is probable that the “discouraging results” mentioned are in the arena of community contacts and associations, clubs or organizations. Someone who began as a friend in the spring may be showing him/herself as not so now.
Taurus This is not a great week for self-promotion. There is someone with higher rank who makes an effort to defeat your plans. You can be like the Bull, stubborn and unyielding. It is better to step aside for now and watch from the sidelines until your timing is better.
Gemini You have a tendency to short temper and loose mouth this week. Give careful attention to anything you plan to say. Your words may be sharp, cutting, or hurtful, even if you do not consciously intend the same, especially early in the week.
Cancer An opportunity to increase income or worth while putting your name before the public comes now. It represents the favorable result of hard work in the past. You may be voluntarily relinquishing property or things of value for a fair price.
Leo Make an effort to concentrate on clarity and honesty with others as you communicate now. Double check what you think you hear and ask others to repeat what they “heard” you say. If arguments occur, there is likely a misunderstanding at its root.
Libra The next two weeks are even more social than usual. Your attitude is bright, save one main concern regarding joint resources or taxes. If you focus your attention on the here and now, the financial strain fades into the background.
Scorpio There is a conflict inside you concerning loyalty to a partner or good friend, versus loyalty to family. Something in this stew is likely deceptive and may mislead you. If your home or car are prone to water or gas problems, leaks may appear during this period..
Sagittarius You are the life of the party this week and you carry warmth and enthusiasm everywhere you go. Your tastes and inclinations may be expensive. Leave the credit cards at home if this is an issue. Travel may be in the picture, for pleasurable business.
Capricorn Business and financial affairs are on your mind almost constantly these days. There may have been a decrease in your sexual life due to worry or health problems in the past month. Focus your attention elsewhere, if possible, to reduce the emotional stress.
Aquarius Machinery and equipment related to your home or car may show signs of leakage. The origination of this problem was in April. It will be important to you now to make sure all things financial and related to property are evenly split and fair.
Pisces An element of excitement introduced into your primary relationship would be a good use of the focal energy now. Relationships of any type are likely to be surprising with interesting twists of independence. Either you or the “other” want freedom to be and to do what you want to do.
