ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Universal forces have shifted with your planetary ruler, Mars, now moving through the sign of Virgo and your 6th house. Cosmic disturbances from Mercury and Uranus could make things quite hectic at work, or maybe your normal sleep pattern will be temporarily interrupted. Health issues may arise in the form of digestion difficulties, asthma and ankle or foot problems due to these nervous energies. Just getting to work could be extra challenging because of traffic jams or car problems around August 18. Avoid major decisions, contracts and oral agreements at this time, especially if the signs Gemini or Virgo are involved.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Planetary vibrations are currently favorable as your cosmic ruler, Venus, moves through the sign of Cancer and your 3rd house. Good news, new contacts and beneficial decisions are generally indicated. Sudden and unexpected communications are forecasted close to August 14 from clubs, friends, the signs Aquarius and Pisces or concerning your highest goals. Romantic opportunities are shown around August 16, along with situations dealing with children, sporting events and recreation, especially if younger people and the signs Gemini and Virgo are involved. Unfortunately cancellations and misunderstandings are also indicated.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Cosmic circumstances are less than favorable as your planetary ruler, Mercury, seemingly moves in a backward motion through the sign of Virgo and your 4th house. With these somewhat chaotic energies in motion, inner focus and general reorganization are suggested. Lovely vibrations from Venus enter the picture close to August 16, bringing financial benefits, entertaining, home redecoration and love opportunities, especially if women and the signs Taurus and Libra are involved. Associations with Uranus influence sudden and unexpected situations concerning your career and reputation around August 18. The signs Aquarius and Pisces could play a part.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
If you've been wanting to stay at home more lately, it's because the Moon has been moving through your own sign this week, enhancing your own natural homebody tendencies. But lunar influences shift when the Moon moves into the sign of Leo and your 2nd house around August 14, bringing financial matters into light. Spiritual enlightenment, financial benefits and physical regeneration are indicated close to August 15, especially if the signs Scorpio or Aries are involved. Begin a new artistic project or complete unfinished money matters at the New Moon on August 16. Expect traffic, cancellations and miscommunications soon afterward.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)
Solar energies are still holding strong as the Sun continues moving through your own sign this week. Romantic attractions and erotic experiences are forecasted very close to August 13 and again around August 15, especially if the signs Scorpio or Aries are involved. Heartfelt changes, intense speculations and psychic connections with children are also featured at these times. Deeper emotions may surface along with domestic focus and associations with your mother and the sign Cancer all around August 16 due to intimate contact with the Moon. Avoid major financial decisions if possible.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Celestial energies could have you in a daze with your planetary ruler, Mercury, moving in a backward motion through your own sign this week. Be prepared to experience cancellations, misunderstandings, travel issues and general confusion. Cosmic vibrations improve slightly due to influences from Venus, causing financial benefits, social opportunities with friends and love relationships close to August 16, especially if the signs Libra and Taurus are involved. Unusual and unexpected situations are likely to arise within your business and personal relationships around August 18. The signs Aquarius and Capricorn may apply. Avoid major decisions for now.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Your planetary ruler, Venus, is currently moving through the sign of Cancer and your 10th house, bringing career and reputation into focus. Unexpected job advancement is indicated close to August 14, along with new friends, spontaneous purchases and effortless benefits from the signs Aquarius and Capricorn. Disturbing influences from Mercury could bring secret communications, loss of sleep and behind-the-scenes associations with the signs Gemini and Virgo around August 16. Expect traffic, delays, cancellations, misunderstandings and chaos at work at this time.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Planetary forces are becoming more intense with your planetary co-ruler, Mars, now moving through the sign of Virgo. Career opportunities, romance and financial benefits are made available to you close to August 13 and then again around August 18, especially if the sign Leo is involved. You may have recently spent too much money due to overly expansive forces from Jupiter, but if it was for your health and well being, it was money well spent. Expect delays, misunderstanding and cancellations around August 18, especially when clubs, goals and the signs Gemini and Virgo are involved. Difficult situations with Sagittarius and Pisces are soon to improve.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
Celestial situations are hectic as your planetary ruler, Jupiter, moves through the sign of Virgo and your 10th house. Positive vibrations from Saturn are so intense, offering better organization, career changes, sexual opportunities and benefits from the signs Capricorn and Aquarius. However, difficult influences from Mercury could cause disturbances at work, problems with travel, tardiness and issues with your reputation. Things could get really crazy at work, but ironically you may feel a greater inner balance due to recent changes. Issues with a Scorpio or Aries will soon clear up.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Cosmic energies are reaching a climax as your planetary ruler, Saturn, moves through the sign of Cancer and your 7th house. Expansions on all levels are generally indicated. Lucky Jupiter is so close to Saturn this week, offering better health, spiritual enlightenment, business contacts, love relationships and good fortune. Benefits and significant changes may come through foreign people, a new diet, distant travel and the signs Sagittarius and Pisces. However, transportation problems, unexpected news and issues with churches and in-laws are also featured. The signs Aquarius, Gemini and Virgo could be problematic.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
Planetary vibrations are mixed this week. Your planetary co-ruler, Saturn, is currently receiving beneficial vibrations all week from the luckiest planet, Jupiter, offering job opportunities, better health, sexual experiences and numerous chances for personal change, especially if the signs Sagittarius and Pisces are involved. However, disruptive energies from Mercury and Mars begin to surface close to August 18, bringing cancellations, travel issues, bad financial decisions and a tendency toward frustration, confusion and anger. The signs Aries, Virgo and Gemini could be particularly annoying at this time.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Universal circumstances are less than favorable this week as your planetary co-ruler, Jupiter, moves through the sign of Virgo and your 7th house. Some relationships are becoming extremely solid while others may suddenly break off due to misunderstandings, cancellations and bad timing, especially if the signs Virgo or Gemini are involved. Older partners and the signs Capricorn and Aquarius are better suited for you at this time as lovers or business associates. Difficult issues at work involving your boss or the signs Scorpio and Aries will soon be over. Avoid making major decisions concerning close relationships at this time.
