**If you know your Rising Sign, read for that as well**
ARIES: The New Moon in your opposite sign is forcing you to examine what you’re getting out of a certain situation that your partners are not. The next two weeks are good for taking stock of characteristics that need some minor adjustments in order to work for the good of all involved. If you’re looking for ways that other people are getting all the credit for something you feel belongs to you and you alone, you’re sure to find evidence all over the place. The more you can share this spotlight, the more you’ll benefit. Make some room for the rest of us.
TAURUS: It’s about what’s actually happening. Anything you’re seeing just because it’s what you want to see could come back to get you in all the wrong ways as soon as next week. Right now you’re being well supported by planets that represent Meaning and Foundation. This puts you in a place where you’re able to make sense out of what you do encounter in ways that bring you a new level of stability. With Mars joining Venus in your opposite sign, these lessons are likely coming from your closest relationships. Look for any opportunity to rise to the occasion, and try to get there before something forces you to.
GEMINI: You’re well supported by planets in your fellow Air signs – energy that’s likely bringing new and interesting beings and situations into the picture. Share your ideas with as many people as you can and allow yourself to be curious about what they’re coming up with as well. Right now it’s all about brainstorming and firming up details without jumping into the actual process. Use this week to come up with plans A, B and C and you’ll be more prepared than ever before in mid-October, when it’s time to start making stuff happen.
CANCER: Being ruled by the Moon, Cancer is a special sort of sensitive to the “fresh start” energy of any New Moon – use today’s in Libra to commit to your most intimate partnerships. Mars joins Venus in Scorpio – a move that’s likely to bring the shadow side of all our relationships to the forefront over the coming weeks. Understanding the entirety of a union – both the dark and the light – will bring a new level of comfort when all is said and done, and this is what you’re always looking for. Know that you’re ready to handle whatever pops up with energy and grace. It’s all about building up your calm and capable side.
LEO: The focus is on what you need to change in your relationships. Remember this as confrontations arise and you’ll be well prepared to handle the growing pains. Look especially for situations where you feel others are putting you up on a pedestal. If you’re trying to live up to someone else’s unrealistic expectations, you’re likely heading straight towards disappointment for the both of you. Mars joining Venus in a challenging sign can represent force as well as pure, unadulterated energy. Concentrate on finding creative solutions to any misunderstandings and you’re likely to create an undeniable passion as well.
VIRGO: By the second week of a Mercury Retrograde phase, you’re all about adjusting to the circumstances. This time around you’re having more intense feelings than you’re used to, but are more than able to make room for them as long as the intention is there. The good news is that this week there should be a lot less to react to. Keep moving forward and you’re liable to find pleasure in places that usually bring a challenge and a half. Your Mercury Ruler colliding with the Sun early next week will bring the ruminations back to overdrive. In the meantime, make it a point to think less and simply appreciate what you do have.
LIBRA: The New Moon in your sign happens once a year, right around your Birthday, bringing the gifts of fresh chances and brand new starts. This week shows you the first steps in a cycle that’s all about overcoming challenges with your usual diplomacy and an added dose of authority as well. Venus, the planet that rules you is up to lots of activity for the next two weeks, bringing plenty of celebration and to-do. Play up your differences, take advantage of any new opportunity, and remember to keep your daydreams in check.
SCORPIO: Mars joins Venus in your sign on Thursday, bringing another kind of energy into the mix. Look for increased motivation, heightened action and even more opportunities to improve your relationships. Mars, the God of War, also has the reputation of being angry or even vengeful. Make sure you keep a lid on any fighting words, and remember that the more attention you can pay to your own situation, the more you’ll be able to right things for those close to you as well. Expect this theme to last through the end of the month, and make a note to look back and compare where you are now to where you get by then.
SAGITTARIUS: The more you notice the good stuff, the more good stuff there is to see. Today’s New Moon in Libra brings brand new beginnings for all of us, especially where relationships are concerned. Those of you looking to connect should keep your eyes wide open, and those of you who are quite attached should find fresh ways of working out old kinks. Venus approaches your Jupiter ruler this weekend with nothing but nice things to say. Take advantage of this energy as much as you can, but remember it's constantly changing. Wait until the end of the month to make any permanent commitments.
CAPRICORN: Pluto will be making the grand entrance into your sign for a 20-year stay at the tail end of November. In the meantime you’re all about preparing for that time which will be forcing you to take charge and command the power you deserve. Make it a point to get out and about this weekend when Venus points her grace toward big luck Jupiter in your sign just before the Moon too moves into Capricorn. This is weather that could bring the circumstances you’ve been searching for. Play hard.
AQUARIUS: Mars and Venus teaming up in a challenging sign during the Mercury Retrograde could be conjuring shadows, bringing up things you thought were long forgotten to mess with your social life. Don’t let this energy shut you away from the rest of the world. Remember that it’s just the weather and you’ll be able to coast past any drama with ease. Today’s New Moon in a fellow Air sign is all about a breath of fresh air. You’ve been feeling stuck or stifled, but this is the week you let yourself break past what you now realize are entirely self-created boundaries.
PISCES: Look for fresh starts all over the place beginning as soon as today’s New Moon. Mars joining Venus in Scorpio, a fellow Water sign, amps your energy, giving you the gumption you need to get to work on your current projects. Take as much time out as you can for creative play this week and you’re sure to find even more ideas you can use. Activity between Venus and your Neptune ruler next week could bring the kinks into the spotlight. Wait until then to iron out the details. Whatever is being put on the table now should reap plenty of recognition right around November’s Full Moon.

Horoscopes for September 22 - 28 2008
*don't forget to read for your rising sign too!*
ARIES: Mercury’s Retrograde through Libra will be bringing echoes of things you were experiencing or feeling at the beginning of the month. Venus moving out of that same sign, your opposite sign, means you’ll be seeing it wasn’t about the love stuff after all. Think about where you’re getting a taste of your own medicine. Your Mars ruler makes you assertive, sometimes even aggressive. Something in your life is doing its best to show you how others can sometimes see this behavior as domineering, even pushy.
Mars hooks up with Mercury just before the Retrograde, giving you an extra push toward learning this lesson.
TAURUS: Venus, the planet that rules you, is moving into Scorpio, your opposite sign. This could mean a shift in one or more areas of your life – not necessarily subtle, and most likely sparked by a person or event that comes from the outside in. Be prepared to see shadows and secrets in the coming days, and possible competition when Mars joins Venus in Scorpio next week. Mercury Retrograde is slowing down information and confusing communication for all of us until the end of October, so remember it’s likely you won’t have all the information you need to process what’s happening until then. Do the best you can with what you’ve got, and remember more facts are on their way.
GEMINI: Again with the Mercury Retrograde. Gemini, being ruled by Mercury, is able to handle this weather more adeptly than most, but the planet’s merger with Mars just as it changes direction means this could be a bigger deal than you’re used to. Words gone wrong are likely and misunderstandings are liable to lead to something that doesn’t have to be nearly as dramatic as we’re making it. A repeat nod from Neptune at the end of the week could have you trying to escape into the bottle or the boredom. The good news is the Sun’s move into a fellow air sign: for the next four weeks, you’ll have plenty of friends to back you up.
CANCER: Today’s Autumnal Equinox brings the Sun’s move into a challenging sign just as the Moon is at home in yours. You’re likely to have more social obligations than you’d prefer over the next few weeks and Mercury’s Retrograde means they turn out to be the kind where nothing goes as planned. Get ready for dates and appointments that resolve themselves in ways that are completely unexpected. Venus moving into a fellow Water sign means nicer vibes in the love department. Whatever the world’s throwing at you from the outside, you still have a soft place to fall.
LEO: Something you’ve been avoiding or neglecting is knocking, very loudly, on your door. As the Sun moves into Libra and Mercury retraces its own steps there, this should become better than obvious. The more you avoid confrontations, the more they haunt you down. Get ready to run into other people who can be just as stubborn as you. Mere nuisances could grow into troublesome power struggles, so make sure to show your generous side, even in the most heated of conversations. By next Monday’s New Moon, everyone will be remembering how well you handled yourself.
VIRGO: The big issues reach a new point this week, although not necessarily a resolution. Your Mercury ruler blends its energies with the force of Mars and the fog of Neptune right as it changes direction. That means this time will be full of action, but also uncertainty. You’re taking different sorts of steps into situations you’ve already seen. The Sun moving on from your sign to Libra means the spotlight is off and you’re free to find your footing without anyone looking over your shoulder. Be ready for a whole lot of emotion this weekend when you finally feel safe enough to breathe a sigh of relief.
LIBRA: Your Venus ruler leaves your sign for Scorpio just as the Sun moves in. Now is the time to make sure you’re doing the real thing and not just a dramatic interpretation. You’ve been working hard to create an image you think someone is expecting, when all that you are beneath the surface is exactly what they’re looking for. Make sure you’re not putting your energy into useless fantasies this week when Mercury turns Retrograde at the height of your sign. Next Monday’s New Moon in Libra brings the brand new chapter you’ve been waiting to see. Happy Birthday!
SCORPIO: Venus enters your sign for the next four weeks, giving your normally reserved self more gumption to get out and around, and a graceful dose of charm gets thrown into your already magnetic mix. For Scorpio, fall of 2008 is about finding the connections you’ve been craving that will take you to even higher places than you’re hoping for. There’s opportunity all over the place to find more balanced relationships, especially the romantic kind. You have the rare feeling of being comfortable with the power you have over others, instead of shying away from it.
SAGITTARIUS: Step out into the light. There are opportunities everywhere, but they’re not as obvious or easy as one would prefer. This week is good for looking wherever you can for the things and situations you’re craving, as well as looking beneath the surface of what you already do have. There’s a good chance you’ve been seeing something all wrong. Mercury’s Retrograde in a friendly Air sign will be bringing you chances to redecorate your perspective all over the place. By next week’s New Moon on Monday you’ll know exactly how to start fresh, and where.
CAPRICORN: You can quietly go about your business for the next several weeks, just the way you like it. Use Mercury’s Retrograde in a challenging sign step back and straighten things out in places where you’re the one in charge. You’re more than happy to take some time away from the hustle bustle to methodically perfect details the way only you can in order to reach your sky high standards. The more you keep at your own good work, without letting outside confusion affect you, the more you’ll create situations where you meet the kind of people who exceed your expectations and more.
AQUARIUS: You’re looking for genuine experiences that help you define yourself better to yourself, situations that show you who you are and what you can bring to the table. During Mercury’s Retrograde in a fellow Air sign you’ll be catching glimpses of knowledge you’ve already begun to master coming from the outside in. Don’t let any synchronicity go unnoticed; things really are trying to tell you something. The Sun’s move into Libra brings a surge of activity to your everyday world. By next week’s New Moon in the same sign, you’ll be making connections all over the place.
PISCES: Mercury’s backwards moves bring another supportive angle with your Neptune ruler, helping you put what you’ve been imagining into words and pictures. The next few weeks could bring old projects and ideas back out of the woodwork. Don’t be surprised if you find a forgotten snapshot, an old notebook, or something you’ve saved that brings exactly what you need to be inspired at this moment. It’s also not unlikely that you’ll hear from people from your long ago past. Venus moving into a fellow Water sign brings creativity and a more simpatico mood to your everyday. Use the energy and you’ll be seeing results by the end of October.
ARIES: Mercury’s Retrograde through Libra will be bringing echoes of things you were experiencing or feeling at the beginning of the month. Venus moving out of that same sign, your opposite sign, means you’ll be seeing it wasn’t about the love stuff after all. Think about where you’re getting a taste of your own medicine.

Horoscopes for September 15 - 21 2008
***If you know your Rising Sign read that as well***
ARIES: Cooperation vs. competition. Somebody else is stealing the show. You’re a major part of the picture, but right now you’re wishing the spotlight was directly on you. This week is about learning how we all shine on. That means You, Her, Him, and the rest of us too. Find a way to appreciate and even revere the things those around you are being noticed for and you’ll find a way to be a thousand times more secure about yourself. The more opportunities you take to exercise your compassion, the more cooperation you’ll have from the outside community in the coming weeks while Mercury is Retrograde.
TAURUS: Too much talk, not enough proof. All of the things that bother you the most about other people could be on overdrive this week: you’re hearing truckloads of empty promises and seeing a few too many facades. The more you can look in your own direction, the more you’ll fully realize the opportunity you’re being given. Think about what you can do for yourself and yourself alone. Projects like this are what will keep you happiest right now as well as give you a renewed, much needed, and profound sense of personal accomplishment.
GEMINI: The trick is to dive into your creative impulses absolutely as much as you can while remembering to take care of your responsibilities at the same time. A happy exchange between imaginative Neptune and a cluster of planets in the other two Air signs is giving you plenty of support as far as being inspired and coming up with a million new things to say. At the same time, the heavy planets lurking in your fellow Mutable signs are doing their best to stymie your freedom. Enjoy all that you’re thinking and feeling while keeping a lid on the things that must stay straight. This is crucial when your Mercury Ruler is about to turn Retrograde. Any neglected priorities won’t stay quiet for long.
CANCER: The more you look for faults the more you’ll find them. You’re seeing things in every corner that aren’t quite up to your standards, and somehow turning all of this into a reflection of your character. The best thing you can do this week is separate yourself from other people’s chaos and concentrate on the things that exist in your own domain. You’re preparing for a time when you’ll either be rewarded for your ability to adjust or tested with even more instability. The Sun’s move into challenging Libra next week, along with Mercury’s reversal in the same sign will be giving you even more chances to prove your endurance. Step up.
LEO: The choice is yours. You’re being asked to pick one of two very distinct directions. There’s the exciting way, the one that leads to things to do and the people to meet, but with no sense of security or promise. Then there’s the other way, the slower way, where you can get used to the place you are now in order to discover a truer sense of power. Remember that whatever makes you stronger is worth everything in the end. While your first option seems much more your style, the second will give you something you very much need in order to survive the rest of the year.
VIRGO: It’s all about determination. Saturn remains in your sign until 2009, increasing your resoluteness about forming foundations and drawing boundaries. You’ve become accustomed to, even happy about the discipline. You’ve also become a little too used to a dull feeling of dread, and these days you basically expect to hear disruptive, even negative news around every corner. Today’s Full Moon could bring the last of the shadows out of the woodwork for a time. The more you can face them, the taller you’ll be able to stand. Remember to focus on what power you actually have and you’ll be that much more able to use it next week, when your Mercury ruler turns Retrograde.
LIBRA: The question is what’s real and what’s delusion. Planets in your sign are working with Neptune to expose more than one situation that just seems too good to be true. There’s pleasure and parading all over the place, but do your best not to make any significant commitments for the next six weeks. Mercury turning Retrograde in your sign next Wednesday means you’ll be gathering much more information in the coming days, and this will make you that much more prepared to make the right decision. Enjoy the new developments and know that the action won’t be dying down any time soon. Next week, the Sun moves into Libra.
SCORPIO: You have the ability to see past the faces people show and down to what they’re trying to cover up. This is just part of who you are, and not something you necessarily welcome or resist, but this week your intuitions about people will be so prevalent you’ll be questioning your impressions instead of trusting what you’ve always known for sure. The trick is to remember that it’s about you not them. The things you’re picking up on are showing you how you’re able to adjust your own behavior to get cooperation and support from the rest of us. Bring on the compassion: it’s a side of yourself that’s good to remember every once in a while.
SAGITTARIUS: Eyes wide open. Today’s Full Moon in Pisces is unveiling new directions and windows that will change everything about the way you process what you experience. Be prepared to take chances and well thought out gambles when you meet an opportunity you just can’t miss. Pleasantries from friendly signs are bringing a much more inviting vibe to your everyday routine, and you’re feeling more hopeful than you’ve been able to in weeks. You’re seeing big possibilities; just remember to let situations take the time they need to gel. You’ve set your intentions, now sit back and have faith.
CAPRICORN: People you work with or see on a day-to-day basis have their collective heads in the clouds or up their ass and it’s challenging your sense of foundation. Whatever exasperation you’re feeling now could turn into downright disgust in the next few weeks so it’s important to stay aware of the places you’re choosing conservation over compassion. Capricorn likes a steady and predictable path, but this week is more about detours and drama. Misunderstandings are inevitable. Remember to take nothing too personally or too seriously and you’ll get past the weather with ease. Venus moving into friendlier territory next week will put a much better spin on the love stuff.
AQUARIUS: Inspiration all over the place. Chances are you’ve been having revelations and brilliant ideas of one kind or another. The best use of your energy for the rest of this month requires turning your thoughts into something tangible. Focus and you’ll find you’re at your creative best. Much of the action up in the sky this week is directed at Neptune in your sign. Look out for situations that test your ability to tell the difference between the way things just are and what you really want to see. The more you’re aware of actual facts, the more you’ll get out of the lessons. Mercury turning Retrograde in a fellow Air sign next week will give you plenty of chances to get it straight.
PISCES: You’re past the worst of it. Today’s Full Moon at the height of your sign is shining a light on the successes you’ve scored in the past few weeks. All of a sudden you realize you’ve gotten this far in all the right ways. Neptune, the planet that rules you, is surrounded by activity all week long, bringing you extra communication with all sorts of new and interesting people. Be your most genuine self and you’ll surpass all of their expectations. Whatever power struggles you’re sensing from around the neighborhood or at work will have worked themselves out by the end of the month. You’ll be picking up on prettier vibes as soon as next week when Venus the Grace moves into a fellow water sign.
ARIES: Cooperation vs. competition. Somebody else is stealing the show. You’re a major part of the picture, but right now you’re wishing the spotlight was directly on you. This week is about learning how we all shine on. That means You, Her, Him, and the rest of us too. Find a way to appreciate and even revere the things those around you are being noticed for and you’ll find a way to be a thousand times more secure about yourself.

The best use of your energy for the rest of this month requires turning your thoughts into something tangible. Focus and you’ll find you’re at your creative best. Much of the action up in the sky this week is directed at Neptune in your sign. Look out for situations that test your ability to tell the difference between the way things just are and what you really want to see. The more you’re aware of actual facts, the more you’ll get out of the lessons. Mercury turning Retrograde in a fellow Air sign next week will give you plenty of chances to get it straight.
PISCES: You’re past the worst of it. Today’s Full Moon at the height of your sign is shining a light on the successes you’ve scored in the past few weeks. All of a sudden you realize you’ve gotten this far in all the right ways. Neptune, the planet that rules you, is surrounded by activity all week long, bringing you extra communication with all sorts of new and interesting people. Be your most genuine self and you’ll surpass all of their expectations. Whatever power struggles you’re sensing from around the neighborhood or at work will have worked themselves out by the end of the month. You’ll be picking up on prettier vibes as soon as next week when Venus the Grace moves into a fellow water sign.

Horoscopes for September 8 - 14 2008
ARIES: Ants in your pants. Mars, the planet that rules your sign, is getting a visit from both Mercury and Venus all week long. This could be stirring up stories and scenes, especially the kind about the love stuff. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Your perception of a certain situation has nothing to do with reality. The issues are hitting so close to home you’re having a hard time remembering to stop and listen to another point of view. The more you can separate the facts from your personal feelings, the more you’ll avoid turning an exaggerated perception into an exaggerated situation.
TAURUS: Sigh of relief. Things go so well for you this week that you’re likely to lose yourselves in luxury. Venus, the planet that rules you, is teaming up with both chatty Mercury and bold Mars all week long – giving you extra doses of interaction with others and the energy to get it all done. You’re also well supported by Jupiter and Saturn in fellow earth signs giving you the chance to show off your talents and experience. Keep your head on straight and you’ll be that much better off at the end of the month when Mars and Venus move into Scorpio, your opposite sign.
GEMINI: Venus and Mars hooking up with your Mercury ruler in a fellow Air sign is giving you plenty of entertainment via other people’s tales to tell. You’re seeing so many new faces to the left and the right now that certain Geminis could be falling in love or something like it every other day of the week. Remember that anything that gets started these days is liable to repeat itself and make no promises that you can’t keep. Wait until next week before making any sort of commitment: the Full Moon in Pisces is about to reveal something you definitely need to know.
CANCER: Sensitive Cancers will be picking up on the subtle power of Pluto as it turns Direct and starts making its way toward your opposite sign for a 16 year stay. You’re more aware than even you realize of the major shifts in your lifestyle that are about to happen in the next chapter. All of this could be exacerbated by the confusing, even frustrating behavior you’re surrounded by. Let other people test boundaries as much as they must and remember to take none of it personally. Next week’s Full Moon in a fellow Water sign will shine a light on whatever really needs changing and you’ll start to get your groove back just in time for the weekend.
LEO: You’re inviting some kind of disruptive energy into your life right now. Take some time out to think about ways you’ve left yourself open or unprotected against unfamiliar weather that might seem interesting, or even exotic, but is all about shaking your foundation in the end. This is also a good week to look at where you’re unprepared for gigantic changes. Your Sun ruler’s face off with a planet that represents everything unpredictable could bring an epic development that will change all the rules from here on out. The good news is, the next few weeks will be absolutely anything but boring.
VIRGO: You’ve reached a new level of authority in one or more areas of your life this Birthday season. Enjoy your newfound ability to develop and delegate for all its worth but don’t get too comfortable just yet. This weekend’s tug of war between the Sun in your sign and the planet Uranus is all about bringing something very unexpected to the surface. This is just a preview of the major changes that will be confronting you all next year. Remember that you’re well prepared, and be ready for absolutely anything. Whatever you’re still unsure about this weekend should shine out crystal clear as soon as next Monday’s Full Moon in your opposite sign.
LIBRA: Be careful of going too far. With so many planets in your sign you’re all about constant motion, but a challenge from Jupiter is inclining you toward excess. This week you could find yourself learning the lesson about too much of a good thing. Look for ways this has become a pattern in your relationships as well as your motives. You’re feeling too comfortable to question your own intentions but doing just that will bring you an even stronger foundation to stand on. Mercury’s retrograde in your sign at the end of the month will be bringing you all sorts of reminders about who you really are at heart. It’s not always about making the other side happy.
SCORPIO: This year is all about pushing you toward establishing something. This could be about your reputation, or the way others see you, but chances are you’re following up on a deal you made with yourself and yourself alone. A surge of much needed energy starts off the week as your Pluto ruler gets back to forward motion. Look for issues that developed in the first half of the year to revisit you again now that you’re much better prepared to deal with them. If you’ve been feeling at all hopeless make sure and hold out for the weekend when the world gets back to cooperating with you. Next Monday’s Full Moon in Pisces brings you recognition for all the waves of emotion you’ve been braving.
SAGITTARIUS: If you go straight to where the good times are, you’re likely to go way too far. The best moves this week are work wise. As much as that’s never fun for a free spirited Sagittarius, keep in mind that the more you can get squared away now, the more time you’ll have for the better stuff later. There’s also a good chance the work you’re doing involves other people and this week you’re able to access deep reserves of concentration and discipline in ways that benefit them as well as you. Focus on the good of the whole and you’ll soon be rewarded in ways that are infinitely better than whatever you’d be doing just to procrastinate.
CAPRICORN: You’ve been feeling like something’s missing. Everyday challenges are leaving you exhausted and experiencing that emptiness at a higher level than your practical self normally would. Rest assured Pluto’s gradual move back into your sign is filling up the space and pushing you in a more powerful direction. Keeping your eyes on the big picture helps calm any anticipation. A friendly move from your Saturn ruler toward Jupiter brings the chance for some big experiences. The more you can be open and available to creative energy this week, the more likely you’ll be to find inspiration where in the past you could only see frustration. Make the mundane into magic.
AQUARIUS: Part of being an Aquarius includes being all too aware of the things that make you completely different from everybody else. Be prepared this week for the misfit side of you to get some unexpected attention. Your best defense is to stand proud behind everything and anything that make you who you are. You’re being given opportunities left and right to fit in better than you ever have before. If you can see how well you’re being accepted, you’ll be that much more able to accept yourself. Trust that your differences are what make you a necessary and important part of the whole. The themes that sprout up this week will be in full force for most of 2009: you’re being noticed for a reason.
PISCES: What’s changing about you? You’re in the midst of making some fairly epic adjustments in the way you carry yourself and perceive the world around you. Take some time this week to get to know how and where you’re growing. Be honest. The more familiar you are with yourself the easier things will be when more and more people start to notice the differences about you in the coming days. This week starts out slow but the action will escalate as we approach next Monday’s Full Moon in your sign. By this time next week you’ll be the center of attention. This isn’t as intimidating as it could sound to Pisces, who prefer to be behind the scenes. It’s more about bringing you closer to people who can help you get where you’re going. Trust your intuition.
TAURUS: Sigh of relief. Things go so well for you this week that you’re likely to lose yourselves in luxury. Venus, the planet that rules you, is teaming up with both chatty Mercury and bold Mars all week long – giving you extra doses of interaction with others and the energy to get it all done. You’re also well supported by Jupiter and Saturn in fellow earth signs giving you the chance to show off your talents and experience.

Horoscopes for September 1 - 7, 2008
**If you know your Rising Sign, make sure and read that too!**
ARIES: You like to be part of all the action, if not the inspiration behind it. If you’re feeling isolated this week, use the downtime as opportunity. Catching up on your correspondence will bring you more satisfaction than whatever party you think you’re missing. It’s also a good week for practicing your perseverance: Aries has a habit of starting things they never finish. They’re the idea people, coming up with more plans than they’ll ever have the time to implement. The energy is there this week to tie up loose ends on something you’ve been meaning to put out in the world and get it out there.
If you’ve been bottling up or letting something get to you good, now is when it’s likely to come flooding out like you just can’t help it. Watch your temper.
TAURUS: The Sun’s hookup with strict Saturn in a fellow earth sign is pushing you to complete all your responsibilities, no matter how lazy you’re feeling. This doesn’t have you in the best of moods, so it’s important to look at how what you need to do helps the people around you and not at how it takes away from what you want to do. If you can change your perspective, you’ll be able to make meaning out of this week’s experiences in a way that you’ll keep for a long time to come. If not, you’re prone to procrastination, especially by means of the drink or the gossip, the bite or even the credit card. For the next few weeks, pleasant distractions have a way of turning into benders. Keep your eyes on the prize.
GEMINI: The sign of the Twins is well known for having two distinct sides to their personality and right now it’s all about the rebel vs. the rules. Part of you just wants to do the right thing and the other part wants nothing but absolute freedom. Your always busy thoughts are breaking speed limits and it’s likely you’re distracting yourself with too many people to see and things to do. Just make sure you’re not talking so much you miss the point entirely. Someone or something you encounter this week has an important key that will help you find your balance, so it’s important to hear and see what’s going on around you. Keep a close eye on your commitments: anything neglected is likely to come back and haunt you later this month when your Mercury ruler turns Retrograde.
CANCER: Wait it out. Right now is a good time to take a step back and concentrate only on what absolutely needs to happen, rather than pushing yourself in a hundred directions. As the week begins, you just don’t have the energy. Wait until Wednesday afternoon, when you’ll really be ready to get things done. Even then, c
oncentrate on things you can do from your home base. People and circumstances all around you are creating drama it would be all too easy to get caught up in. You’re never a fan of the power struggle, but often a willing participant. Look especially for a repeat episode of something you experienced midsummer as Jupiter turns direct in your opposite sign. Best to stay in your nest, or anyplace where your authority will not be questioned.
LEO: Wednesday’s merger between the Sun that rules you and brass-tacks Saturn has you feeling stuck and stymied. You’re more about creativity than cracking down, but the best use of this energy is finding a way to combine the two. Discipline isn’t your strongest feature, but you’ll be able to tap into deep reserves of it all month as long as this is your intention. The Sun’s friendly nod toward big-moves Jupiter later in the week means whatever you do accomplish could bring more acknowledgement and respect than you’ve ever imagined. Whether you’re working with paint, poetry, or pretty things, the more you establish during the week, the more fun you’ll have after Saturday, when the Moon moves into a fellow fire sign and things get a whole lot more friendly.
VIRGO: The Sun/Saturn conjunction happens smack in the middle of your sign, making you even more of a taskmaster than usual. You’re all about discriminating between right and wrong, passable and perfect, but this is a good time to look at how the ways you judge others mirror the ways you judge yourself. This could lead to an epic breakthrough, one that enables you to make magic out of even the mundane. Left untapped, you’re liable to see circumstances and situations through exaggerated eyes this week – keep a check on your perceptions. Your Mercury ruler turns Retrograde later in the month for the third and final time of the year. Any misunderstandings you encounter right now are more than likely to repeat themselves.
LIBRA: You’re experiencing everything at a much deeper level than usual right now, and surrounded by constant activity. Most of the inner planets visiting your sign lead to mountains of emails to reply to, phone calls to return and dates to keep. Luckily, you’re also being given the grace and the energy to do it all. Libra is nothing if not polite and up to the task and the sky is giving us all a dose of manners at the moment, making things more likely to go your way than not. This will be especially helpful this weekend, when old dramas resurface with a vengeance. Whatever’s changed about you over the summer ensures that this time around, you’re going to get it right. Pay attention to the beginning of the week: whatever happens Monday and Tuesday is indicative of things you’ll be seeing and repeating for the rest of the month.
SCORPIO: Tying up so many loose ends from the past has been questionable to you lately, but it’s important to know that the work you’re doing now is going to pay off before the month is over. Midweek supplies just the right combination of energy to help you concentrate on whatever it is you’ve been putting off. This includes the personal and social as well as the work stuff. You’re becoming fed up with delusion all while becoming more and more attracted to people who do it their very own genuine way. Your emotions run deep and you’re being given the opportunity to let people close to you see that for themselves. Letting others see more of your weaknesses makes you more tolerant of theirs. You won’t be sorry.
SAGITTARIUS: Things have been going at a slower pace than you’d prefer all summer long. Sure you’ve had some epic shake-ups, but even those didn’t get the action moving for you on a day-to-day level. That’s all about to change when your Jupiter ruler gets back to forward motion this weekend. In the meantime, do your best to keep your attention with your priorities. This workweek brings too many things to take care of and too many things you’d rather do instead. The more you resist, the more you’re liable to make mistakes that will only create more mountains to climb in the weeks ahead. You’ll have some frustrating moments, but don’t let this come out in your interactions with others. An aggressive move from Mercury Sunday night could put the focus on words you’ve said all wrong.
CAPRICORN: It’s all about making adjustments. A string of planets in Libra are challenging you to fix whatever’s not working in your present situation so that you can keep your feet on the mountain. Look especially for opportunities or necessities that involve standing up for what you believe in in order to to get things done. Mercury testing your sign from Libra could have you fighting over who’s the boss or how things have been phrased and the Sun’s merger with your Saturn ruler makes you the center of attention. Luckily, Jupiter’s return to forward motion at the height of your sign this weekend will give you surplus doses of energy and a renewed sense of optimism. In the meantime, rise to the occasion as only a Capricorn can and remember how much your example says to the rest of us.
AQUARIUS: Your week starts out on a good note, turns challenging, and ends in all the right ways. The personal planets in friendly Libra are giving you much more access to the outside world, something you’ve needed generous doses of since summer began. Take the opportunity to get out and make as many new contacts as possible, several of them are more than likely to turn out friends. As Neptune travels through your sign it’s important to collect the perspectives and knowledge of others to weigh against your own overly idealistic ideas, especially while the planet stays Retrograde. Any kind of volunteer work or service is a brilliant idea that will fill your heart while at the same time showing you something completely different.
PISCES: If you’re not feeling the weight of the world, chances are everyone around you is. The Sun/Saturn connection in your opposite sign is all about getting us back to business after a long hot summer, but the anxiety and worry we’re feeling about that could be messing with your constitution. Sensitive Pisces picks up on absolutely everything. As always these days, when in doubt, consider what you normally would never do, and the benefits of that particular action. Consider it yet another lesson in empathy, and know that in just a few days you’ll be taking in vibes of luck and joy when friendly Jupiter returns to forward motion. Do your best to complete outstanding tasks during the workweek; this weekend is all about staying home with what you know and love.
ARIES: You like to be part of all the action, if not the inspiration behind it. If you’re feeling isolated this week, use the downtime as opportunity. Catching up on your correspondence will bring you more satisfaction than whatever party you think you’re missing.
