Leo
The Lion: (July 22 — Aug. 22)
Your ego is antagonized and you are itching for a fight, yet you know better. The circumstances are such that you could make things much worse if you are aggressive. This may be the point at which you decide firmly you are not going to leave yourself open to this treatment anymore. An era is ending.
For All Signs: Venus, goddess of love, is retrograding through Sept. 8. Many of us will be pressured to observe our personal behavior within the framework of our relationships. Those in shaky attachments may withdraw altogether for a time. Dormant issues may resurface for attention. We have a tendency to “go back” to previous relationships or to re-experience former behavior patterns in the present situation. During Venus’ retrograding periods we are called to wake up to any unconscious saboteurs that interfere with our ability to love. It’s time to upgrade our relationship performance.
Aries: Aspects suggest you may be feeling irritable and critical this week. Objects and people are just not cooperating, and you may also be worrying about finances. Some of these things are a reality, but in the greater scheme of things, it is a temporary droop. Concentrate on holding peace inside yourself.
Taurus: It may be hard to move forward this week, due to challenges concerning property, equipment, health or family issues. Your reflexes and normal muscle control are out of sync right now, so use special caution and listen to your body. If it says “don’t,” then pay attention and stop immediately.
Gemini: You are the one with the bright ideas and inspirations this week. You could be especially quick with computer or other high tech issues. Your mind is moving rapidly from thing to thing, at the speed of light. Pay attention to intuition and ideas that seem to drop in out of the blue.
Cancer: Are you traveling this week? Cosmic aspects suggest it would be a great time to go anywhere new. You are truly in an expansive frame of mind and would be open to almost any new subject that crosses your path. The circumstances around a sibling are changing.
Virgo: You may be experiencing some odd feelings about yourself in relationship at this time. Venus is turning retrograde in your sign and what you thought was great two weeks ago is now causing you to think again. Don’t consider this the last word on the matter.
Libra: Venus is your ruling planet, and she is turning retrograde in the sector of your past. You may find yourself surprised by experiencing feelings you thought were long since finished. This cosmic signature occurs this week, but it may very well have been making you wistful for much of June.
Scorpio: This is clearly a rough patch in your relationship(s). The arena may play out in your primary partnership or in your work/career situation. Though someone may be goading you, you know this is not the time to address the situation. Just give the trouble wide berth until a better time.
Sagittarius: During this week you may be given approval or some kind of “go” signal concerning a loan, a budget, stock upturn or insurance. Discussions concerning joint property of whatever kind will probably be decided in your favor or will be mutually agreeable. Your attitude is upbeat and optimistic.
Capricorn: Give careful attention to your car and also to any other machinery you may be handling. Equipment breakdowns are possible. Of course they always come at highly inconvenient times. Be prepared with backup or extra parts. Your reflexes are off. Use caution with the world of the physical during this period.
Aquarius: Daydreaming may be your activity of choice at this time. Because of this, pay special attention to small items, such as keys, tickets and credit cards. We tend to lose track of these things when drifting around in LaLa Land. You might also be confronted with a new or different vocabulary related to your work.
Pisces: Be prepared for sudden shifts concerning your workplace or the daily routine. Your time may be so absorbed this week with the solving of problems that there is little opportunity for play. Mistakes in routine communications could interfere with forward motion. Listen and speak carefully and double check facts.
