For All Signs Basic astrological understanding comes from the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. The Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) are usually solid and dependable, just as the ground beneath us. They are gifted at manifestation in the concrete world and take pleasure in finding useful purposes for everything. Earth signs are natural recyclers. They deplore wasted resources of any kind. The disadvantage of Earth signs is they can become rut-bound. Earth signs are good planners and they work to be on time for every commitment. They need fire signs to add sparkle in their lives. See next week for fire.
Aries An initiative begun late last spring may be showing its original error in judgment. Beware the temptation to avoid the facts or deny reality, particularly concerning habit patterns and/or financial issues. Set new initiatives aside for another week while you reevaluate.
Taurus Do not yield to the temptation to be deceptive, whether it is with others or yourself. An error in judgment from almost a year ago could be corrected now if you will face it squarely. Your physical energy is at a temporary low, perhaps due to emotional melancholy.
Gemini The week begins with confusion and distractions, but things become clearer with time. Discussing your concerns with a trusted person could help you get back on track. Wrestle head-on with any financial concerns until you have generated a workable plan.
Cancer Circumstances may demand that you rehash old financial records, particularly if they involved resources shared with others in the past or present. You won’t want to deal with these details, but they are not going away without attention.
Leo A shift or unexpected change for the better occurs in the realm of shared resources. This may include partner’s income, investments, employment perks, social security, legacy, insurance and other refunds. You benefit through helpful resources that are not directly of your own making.
Virgo Your physical or emotional status is still a bit on the puny side. A solution occurs near the 20th and after the weekend you will be feeling much better. Virgo is a sign that is hypersensitive to environmental stimuli. You feel well or poorly, depending upon what is around you.
Libra You have positive aspects involving love, romance, and social life. You also have a need to spend some time in solitude or personal, creative interests. You may have to make a choice if time is limited. Routine work prospects look boring by comparison.
Scorpio Something or someone who was in your life late last spring may have vaporized since, but returns at this time. You would rather not “notice” the truth that has become apparent. You are tempted to deny what you see. It might be a “rescue” situation in which you have become entangled.
Sagittarius Your concentration is particularly good at this time, so it is a positive period to tackle knotty intellectual issues. The only drawback is that you may think you have found the only right solution when there are others available.
Capricorn This is a time in which you need to speak frankly to a significant other about resolving some conflict or problem that occurs between you. It may be fraught with old history, so try to remain in the present during this discussion for the sake of fairness.
Aquarius You have more to think about this week than anyone could cover. You will have to work to keep yourself organized because distractions come thick and fast. Aspects suggest a turn of events in the area of personal income or sense of self-worth and value.
Pisces If you are in touch with yourself, you will have a desire to do things differently or to somehow shake up the usual routine. If you insist on maintaining the status quo, you will find that irritating episodes recur and rattle your normal plans.
