For All Signs Jupiter, planet of expansion, is within orb of the opposition to Uranus, planet of rebellion. This represents a period in which we are all subject to the desire to break free of whatever causes us to feel restricted. The need for liberation from routines may cause us to rebel now and possibly pay later. Don’t let excitement cause you to throw away something of genuine value for the sake of an exciting moment or two.
Aries Difficulties in personal relationships often have a root cause of blame and criticism. You may be directing this commentary at the other or at yourself. OK. So maybe wrongs have been done. But the point now is to learn from them and let go of the acid.
Taurus The question of the month for the Bulls is: What price are you willing to pay for the sake of home, hearth and security? This is a conundrum because you are firmly tied to your sense of safety, but sometimes it keeps you from finding what you really need.
Gemini You are slowing down after a very full summer of multiple activities. You are starting to go through a period when you want to pull back, get more rest, spend more time on your personal projects. Family members may be waffling on previously agreed upon plans.
Cancer This period may bring an increased desire to spend on luxurious or beautiful items. There is nothing wrong with that, if you have the money and can afford to do so. But it is more probable that you are in conflict with yourself or with your partner over this issue.
Leo You are very clear about what you want from your relationship(s) and in your life right now. This is a period of increased social influence and you have a desire to look your best. Others are noticing you. Your partner may become jealous of all this new attention.
Virgo Take time now to bring lots of little projects to a close. Next week will begin a raft full of new pursuits. If you have been your normally efficient self, then this could be a great time to give yourself a break and go on vacation.
Libra Don’t allow a noisy inner critic to press you into territory beyond your ability to manage. Think carefully before you speak because you have a tendency during this period to blurt out what is on your mind, or just under the surface of your consciousness.
Scorpio How you handle things during the next two weeks between yourself and significant others is critical to the future of the relationship(s). You have a choice here: grow in maturity or figuratively go down in flames. Attack/blame is the wrong answer.
Sagittarius Please read the lead paragraph because Jupiter is your ruling planet. You may be given an opportunity to expand your career horizon, but it will require some risk. The probability is that you will be ready to give it a go, risk or not.
Capricorn Aspects concerning the law, travel, education and publishing are unfavorable. Activities in these areas may cost more than they are worth. You and a significant other need to communicate on relationship matters, but there seems to be interference from the “events department.”
Aquarius Be sure to read the lead paragraph because Uranus is your ruling planet. This aspect for you has the appearance of a minor financial windfall. It appears to be a piece of good fortune that originated through activities in 1997 or mid-year 2000.
Pisces The Fish, sweetest sign in the zodiac, is not in the mood to put up with anyone’s garbage. Normally so compliant and cooperative, you are likely to call a fool by name, and it may get you in trouble. Choose your battles wisely and don’t forget to listen!
