Welcome to your forecast for the week starting Monday August 30, in which destiny hovers somewhere near YOU like a holgraphic diamond glinting in the solar light. Fantastic! But how do you grab a hologram and pull it into the here-and-now...? Read on.
Virgo
The sun and Mercury in Virgo line up magnificently with the “Destiny Point” in the heavens this week. Seize your future? You betcha! The only trick is noticing it! Open your glorious eyes and command the universe to show you the window of creative opportunity via persona reinvention through which you ought to dive. Cosmic hint: if it feels like all you can see is the past looping around itself, don’t panic. “Backwards” could do a sudden u-turn and then lead forwards. (Gee, thanks, Mercury retrograde!)
Libra
You’re either amazingly intuitive about where you belong and who you can trust, or confused as a polar bear stumbling around in the tropics. Don’t strain the brain for clarity; it’s more likely to alight on your shoulder while you’re thinking about nothing at all. Also this week, single Librans have the MOST AMAZING STARS FOR LOVE I’ve seen in a long time. Let someone shimmer and simmer their way into your orbit right now and you can both experience deep bliss and recuperative healing. Open up; don’t prejudge the potential.
Scorpio
Meaty ideals and ambitious visions suit you, and this week you’re able to turn them into something tangible. But if it becomes an arduous birth, don’t blame anyone – you just need to make your big idea a little more practical. Focus on this...and, for goddess sake, let other people HELP YOU! Doing it alone isn’t the best approach right now. Even socializing with lesser beings could lead to massive things. Romantically speaking, this is a week to let the petty stuff go and connect soul to soul. Take the risk, take off your armour, and Venus and Mars will do the rest.
Sagittarius
Ideas about abundance and money fall into your lap this week like manna from heaven. You’re keen, you’re lean and you’re Hades-bent on increasing cash flow. Excellent – but keep in mind that Pluto is active in your zone of income and assets, so something may have to go before new pathways can be followed. Meanwhile, your communication skills are completely bonkers, so beware saying anything meaningful to anyone, especially at work. Smile at your boss, even if he forgets to acknowledge you. After September 21, you’re likely to be rewarded for patience you employ now.
Capricorn
Trips of all forms that enlighten the mind, shift your perspective, fly you overseas or bless you with wisdom are all possible this week. If you’re too busy grumbling about the toll of intimacy (or despairing about the lack of intimacy) you’ll miss this wonderful opportunity to focus on YOU. So relax about finding the perfect partner and enjoy the beauty, the insights and the love that the cosmos wants to shower upon you. Also this week, choose to free yourself from secret self-rejection. Your value is only doubted by you, actually.
Aquarius
The gifts brought by your stars this week result more from facing the shadow (the bits you don’t like about yourself) and honesty than from keeping up appearances. Let it all hang out, lovely Aquarians! There is nothing to be gained from hiding behind a facade and everything to be gained from expressing yourself, especially on September 3 to 6 (Friday to next Monday). Meanwhile, the tension builds between an old love (or concept of love) and the new reality you’re determined to create. Choose what’s new.
Pisces
Holy fish tails! What is a simple Piscean meant to do when love goes AWOL? Slip into a clamshell and wait it out? Not this week! If your partner (or potential partner) loses the plot, it’s wise right now to come out with wonderfully pragmatic, even (gasp!) SENSIBLE plans for restoring calm and order. You’re in tune with the higher potential (perhaps even karmic lesson) of your love life right now, so get involved. Be present. Ask lots of questions. And above all, own what’s yours. Therein lies the key.
Aries
Jupiter retrograde in Aries this week (plus 5 other planets/asteroids also retrograde!) signals a confusing time for Zodiac warriors. What’s wrong with everyone and why don’t they respond like they usually do to your ultra-powerful personality? My advice is to stop asking this question and turn within. Jupiter retrograde can only bestow his gifts upon you if you do this. Cosmic hint: reconsider the way you wish to be of service to the world. Meaningless activity will just depress you.
Taurus
Familiar old face? Beware! This week, a certain person you think you ought to bond with this week could hark from a past life best left alone. If it’s irresistible, at least take it slowly. There may be something to complete, learn (one more time...!) or experience, but that doesn’t mean you have to give said person your grandmother’s wedding ring! Don’t be coerced. Meanwhile, adventurous outings in person or via your imagination are favoured. You can swing destiny your way this week with a mere flick of your internal power. Switch on to the future you want and set your intent.
Gemini
There’s something about life at home that needs your attention this week. Have you been meaning to build a fishpond to improve fung shei...? Knock down a wall? Fix the plumbing? The DEEPER theme here is feeling like the king or queen of the castle. If you ain’t super-proud of your domestic digs, prioritize changes this week – or put out feelers for something better, at least, because fate is on your side. Meanwhile, frothy and funny romantic vibes abound for single Geminis who have been pining for someone with whom they can soar to new heights. All you have to do is get past the Saturn-riddled suspicion that “it’s not meant to be”. Who says? Not your HIGHER self!
Cancer
Sugar-coated emails, ditzy text messages and banal phone calls ought to be taken a little more seriously. Destiny arrives via the most ordinary exchanges this week, so open up to sudden synchronicities. And, yes, it’s all about your love life YET AGAIN. If it seems that every which way you turn, a “fated” or “karmic” relationship confronts you with its potential, you’re right. But there is good news: sex is really, really good for you this week. Come to think of it, when is it not? It’s time to stop being prudish and embrace your inner Tantric Master or Mistress of Ceremonial Magic. Cosmic hint: “home is where the orgasm is”.
Leo
Gosh! You’re so rich! And you’re so happy about it! This is a wonderful state of affairs. Even if you’re not a super-wealthy Leo, gratitude for what you DO have works miracles this week. But do go deeper and ponder the purpose of it all. If you’re sitting on a pile of gold simply because it warms your bum, you may end up dissatisfied. Being of service to others, on the other hand, is “lucky” for you as well as the recipients. Also this week, partnerships of all sorts benefit from clear, honest communication. It may be scary, but it’s deeply healing. Bu then again, a shopping spree is also very healing this week, so take your pick.
Be great. Be yourself. Talk to you next week.
