Virgo The Virgin (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)
You have been considering your next agenda for several weeks. This may have to do with presenting your true feelings within a relationship. Somehow you are thwarted. The "other" may be ill or otherwise unavailable. Circumstances are beyond your control. Wait a week for better aspects.
For All Signs: Pluto is the planet that represents plutocrats, the worldwide economy, banking, the mythological underworld, the stock market, corporations and inevitable consequences. On Sept. 16, this planet turns direct after a five-month retrograding period. Since Pluto's arrival in Capricorn (2008), the change of direction has coincided with particularly disruptive financial events, i.e. the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. The present world circumstances are scary. If any of the banks in the Euro zone fails, they will all fail. If even one country in Europe goes bankrupt, they will all follow suit. The trouble is generated during Pluto's retrograde periods and then made public upon its direct station. This is also true on a personal level. If you have been keeping a lid on a major situation, the time for revelation is upon you.
Aries: "Freedom" has been your battle cry for several months now. But this week, the only road to liberty is to bite the bullet and handle details and responsibilities. A bright note is that the situation in relationship(s) is positive. You can enjoy working a project with others now.
Taurus: Don't allow fear and pessimism to interfere with your pleasure in life. If something is nagging at you, take a clear and direct look at it. Is there really anything there, or have you invented your own worry? The blues may be your companion for a couple of days at the beginning of the week, but the cloudy time is short.
Gemini: Your focus shifts to matters of home, hearth and family. Things of the past may float up in your mind for reflection. If this occurs, ask yourself what you learned from the former experience. It probably would help you now. Family concerns may occupy your attention.
Cancer: You may feel out of sorts this week. Your feelings are in conflict with your ideal self and your values. You want to put your best foot forward, but circumstances do not feel quite right. If the conflict is deep, it is usually best to wait and not yield to whatever pressure is around you. You will sort it all out.
Leo: You may be feeling low on resources during this period. "Resources" = time, money, energy. It is true that you are in a short dip, but the gloom will not last very long. Don't beat yourself up over your past history. You always do the best you can, and you cannot know in advance the outcome of every decision
Libra: Circumstances involving love life and money may feel tight. You may experience an emotional droop near the first of the week, in which you perceive yourself to be alone in the world. This is a temporary mood, so don't take it seriously. You know you are prone to overreact at times. If you feel ill, you will recover quickly.
Scorpio: This is a highly favorable week. Those who are involved with any type of educational process will have cause to be proud of their work. Loans or other "shared resources" are incoming now. The lights are green in both love and social life. Just take that step forward and you will be welcomed.
Sagittarius: As Startrek's Spock is fond of saying, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." You may find yourself in a position to make decisions along these lines, and you are among the few right now. September is a challenging month. The intuitive Archers always find a way through dilemmas.
Capricorn: Fortunate circumstances come your way through the Internet, the law, education, travel or publication activities. Even so, you may feel isolated or as though no one around you can possibly understand who or what you are. Remember that feelings come and go like waves. This is temporary, if you notice it at all.
Aquarius: You may be overloaded with ideas, plans and inflated expectations at this time. Talk over important changes with a trusted friend or a counselor. Sometimes we are unable to recognize and interpret facts objectively. You may not be feeling well. Does your best friend share your views?
Pisces: Monitor your inner and outer critics this week. It may be serving up a plate of neurotic guilt to interfere with your attitude. A better use of this energy calls for rising above the yada, yada of the droning voice. Set it aside and realize it is just the shadow self, trying to keep your attention in a negative place.
