VIRGO
The Virgin: (Aug. 22 — Sept. 22)
Either you or your partner are requesting some time early in the week to tend to personal agendas. If it is the other, it is a Voice that speaks for you also, even if you are not conscious of the need. By the end of the week you will be connecting and conversational again.
For All Signs Many are asking about whether Pluto’s demotion will affect how astrologers read horoscopes. The answer is “not at all.” After Pluto was discovered in 1930, astrologers quickly began to study its possible meaning. This body became associated with massive power, such as nuclear energy, or anything else that is beyond one’s control. The original god “pluto” was associated with the underworld. In personal astrology, it represents all of our issues related to power, its use or abuse. It also symbolizes metamorphosis and individual transformation. Pluto has simply done what he does best: transform and re-enter the underworld.
Aries Talk and all types of communications are in the forefront. You may be involved in heavy negotiations concerning a contract. Those with partners will find they have plenty to discuss and so do you. It is time to make amends with significant people, lest your family life be disrupted by quarrels.
Taurus You are restless and somewhat weary with the norm, looking for something new to do. That is not easy for Taurus, who is prone to remain in ongoing patterns. It takes a real jolt of boredom to press you into change. Go with that flow and you will be much happier.
Gemini There is so much on your agenda that you must keep lists in order to juggle the balls. Those with children will be devoting significant energy in that arena. Don’t let anyone pull you into a quarrel over egos. News that brings healing comes from afar.
Cancer You are like a steam kettle, ready to explode. There is plenty to say and you are ready to spill all with vigor. Practice a few times in front of the mirror so you won’t confuse the message by appearing to be overreacting. You want to be heard, not force someone into a defensive position.
Leo This is a very good period for letting go of whatever or whomever needs to move beyond you. That may be a source of income or a work-related friend. It is generally a good week to clean the closets, the drawers, and make ready to spit shine your desk with plans for better weeks to come.
Libra You are compelled to be honest during this period, and you may have things to say that others would rather not hear. Think carefully about how to state your piece. Your energy is increasing and your daily life picks up the pace.
Scorpio Pay strict attention to the words that fall from your mouth at this time. You could sound sharp and critical even if you don’t feel so. You have considerable energy to plow into the hidden side of life. Your dreams will be most meaningful. Study them.
Sagittarius You may be unveiling a project of many months. If so, it meets with enthusiasm and applause, particularly if its purpose is to “serve.” A legal or ethical bind may feel as though it is dragging you down and it probably is. Any issues in that territory will require a long time to completion.
Capricorn There is likely to be a lot of clatter in the career arena, with phone calls, negotiations and talk. Don’t let it twist you into a knot because this may be all flying dust that drops back onto the ground where it started. Remain at peace for best results.
Aquarius If you took yourself on a dream vacation during the summer, you may be looking at all those bills now. They have a way of turning up all at once. Aspects favor travel, education, legal concerns and publishing. You may receive good news about the healing of yourself or someone you love.
Pisces Use caution with a new relationship that forms at this time. It is not likely to be founded on permanent ground. You want to play, but leave it light and easy and don’t expect life-altering drama. Beware, also, of anything that appears to be dusted in gold. All that glitters is not, you know.
