Week of Sep 29, 2008

Aries

Aries has been learning to fall in love with love for the last two months.  Romance, negotiation, and compromise have been on your screen but now it is changing and you'll be back to your passionate, intense self.  You are working with someone, probably a woman or a love interest or friend and both of you are working toward the same goal and if love is in the air, you are on the scent of something big.  Passion can transform into a relationship that is worth the trouble.  

Week of Sep 22, 2008

Aries

With the sun moving into Libra in your partnership section, relationships are the central focus this month.  You've been very good lately and trying to get along with others.  You may even have backed off your usual Aries go-for-it attitude to become more considerate and romantic. Communication may be easier for you and perhaps a partner from the past will ask to return to your life.  Watch out for mix-ups in plans and messages for three weeks.

 

Week of Sep 15, 2008

Aries

Aries has had great romantic or career opportunities.  Partnerships have been the focus, although they have been strange at times.  Great gain can be made now through an attractive, artistic partner or friend.  You may also want to break out of the usual traditional ways of doing things or you may want to experiment in your partnerships. This week you may feel more romantic than ever.  You may feel inspired to greater emotional closeness and even the heights of spiritual love.  After this recent full Moon on the planet Uranus, you may change a job or gain greater insights into your deepest spiritual needs.  A sudden end to a relationship with an institution may come with a change in your job or assignments.

Taurus

Everybody loves a lover, especially sensual Taurus.  In the last few weeks there has been an opportunity for you to take a good look at what you really want in relationships. If you decide you want someone in your life now, you can bring them in with a romantic approach.  The relationship may be with someone unusual or an unusual type of relationship.  You may also find yourself involved in the arts and culture.  Friendships may end as this relationship becomes a bigger part of your life.  You may also end a friendship or group association that is draining your finances. You may find someone at work intrigues you or you may decide to end a relationship at work. A career shift may also be likely now. 

Gemini 

Gemini is in a great cycle, at least you were before you got blind sided by the weekend's full Moon joining Uranus.  Oh well, don't feel bad, it is a short jog on the road to love.  The last couple of weeks have been perfect for love and lovers, and unusual people with unusual ideas about relationships.  For curious Gemini, all the novely of the unusualness is perfect so just enjoy.  Although the full Moon might have changed the nature of the relationship if you are in a serious one.  It also could be making a major impact on your career and pretty much rocketing you into a new phase of a current career or just a current career.  Just get out and enjoy yourself at a club or bookstore cafe with friends.

Cancer

You may decide to change your living situation for love or romance, or even beauty.  A relationship that may also include a financial element may be on your horizon.  You may feel very romantic and greater love and appreciation for your family or a friendship with a specific family member may get stronger.  A job situation may need a lot of careful handling and a boss or a group may block you from doing something you want to do, like take a trip or spend time on documents.

Leo

A very romantic period with a partner may bring a more loving feeling between the two of you.  A close woman friend or a sibling may bring more fun and beauty into your life.  A trip to buy new fashions or to an art gallery or museum may lead to some interesting new ways to enhance your partnership or your relationship with a partner.  Love letters could come now, as well.  Finances may hit a bump as children, a business, or recreational activities are surprisingly expensive so guard your money.  

Virgo

Financial solutions or an increase in your income may be possible now through art and beauty or a loving relationship.  It may also be through a job that allows you to use your intuition or helping ability, especially if you have a helping or nurturing work.  A higher spiritual love may be possible with someone who can help you relax and open up to your more sensual self and help you stop worrying so much about being a perfectionist.  A hidden matter may block you from participating in a group or family activity.  A situation involving an institution may need to be handled diplomatically.

Libra

This is your month.  You are in love with love and this month everyone is trying to dance to your tune. With Venus, Mercury, and Mars traveling through your sign, the atmosphere of love and romance is stronger than ever.  It is possible now to find a higher spiritual love but you must be careful not to be too trusting.  Enjoy the romance of the month and take in an art show or look for some jewelry, or just spend time with a special friend.

Scorpio

Secrets are fun this month and may involve a love interest that you have tucked away somewhere. Scorpio loves secrets and leading a double life is really great fun for you.  This secret friendship may be a positive influence on your home life or they may move in at some point.  You will enjoy spending time in private and cozy places so plan a weekend away at a cabin in the woods or a resort on the water.

Pisces

This could be a week of romantic love, great sex, and a new partnership, especially if it involves finances.  Despite the dire economic situation, if you keep your cool, you could come out with a spiritual love or soul mate.  It may involve someone or some dealings behind the scenes but you are in an almost miraculous cycle, is you are with someone new or someone you want to feel closer to.  On Saturday a work or health matter may need more attention, so pay attention to details and don't fluff off something a boss asks you to do or drag your feet on some detail work you think is a pain.  Re-center yourself and focus so you can do a good job.  

Aries

Week of September 1, 2008

This is the month of lovers, even for the very exciting Aries.  Love may surprise you and take a new twist and turn as your ruler, Mars, joins surprising Uranus and Venus, the planet of love and beauty.

Week of August 11, 2008

See my updated astrology blog

Aries

After a bumpy week, you're getting back on your feet.  Surprises may have left you with a puzzled feeling about who or what recently left your life.  Perfectionist tendencies were completely hopeless as no one cooperated and you may have even gotten an angry piece of someone's mind.  The fun's only beginning since Saturday's eclipse may bring more where that came from.  Your usual take-charge and take-no-prisoners attitude may be dead in the water for now, but not to worry, just dust yourself off and wait a couple weeks and you'll be back in action.  This is a time to learn to think about what you are doing and realize you may need to learn to be a better observer of subtle undercurrents you've previously ignored.

Taurus

A big change just began that is more to your liking.  Venus, your ruler, changed from "let the good time roll" Leo, to the demure and common sense sign of Virgo.  While you may find others expect you to do a better job with details, your finances may become more stable as you no longer want to play the last of the big time spenders.  Sensual Taurus may find yourself pulled up short while you discuss details when you would have rather been rolling around with your honey, but after the details are taken care of, someone may be fussing over you, which is just what you enjoy.  Betten down the hatches for the upcoming eclipse Saturday as a career matter may deliver quite the suprise and guard your reputation with your life, since scandals may be falling around you like the song "Its Raining Men".

Gemini

After a lot of fun with friends, trips, and visitors, you must endure a period of belt tightening when finances must be reeled in and scrutinized.  Home matters may call for a boring ritual of inspection and updating.  You may find that your in a period when details have to be the first priority but later it may bring you more income and stronger property values.

Cancer

The fireworks this week are from your ruler, the Moon, which is the star of the lunar eclipse on Saturday.  Since the eclipse is also on Neptune, romance and friendship may play a central role in your life now and you may make unexpected decisions.  Look for important communications and messages.  Details and documents, as well as siblings with serious matters on their mind, will also play a major role this week.  responsibility in relationships may put a damper on what was just fun.  Property and partnerships may be instrumental in some financial improvements.

Leo

Your focus just shifted from summer fun to financial matters.  The lunar eclipse on Saturday may bring a partnership, legal, or contractual matter that needs your attention.  Someone from the past may reappear in your life or a new romance may blossom and you may feel a compulsive need to be totally absorbed in it.  

On the downside, don't sign contracts before the 20th and wait another two weeks if you can.  Details are important now as documents may be instrumental in bringing significant a financial or property opportunity, but don't neglect matters that need your attention, as things could go south suddenly if you aren't paying attention.  

You may experience confusion and feel compelled to act in a relationship about which you feel torn but this is just part of the nature of the eclipse on Neptune.  You may go back and forth in your feelings about someone and change your mind from one minute to the next.  If you can remain centered and meditate (even if that means biking or walking), it will dissipate in a few weeks.  It may also be helpful to get out your art projects, start dancing again, or study a spiritual tradition that interests you as it will help cope with this very restless eclipse when everyone feels like changing their life suddenly.

Virgo

Virgo holds the keys to the kingdom this week as all the energy from the planets involved in the eclipse empower you.  If you are a typical Virgo, you are being careful with your money and paying attention to details. Saturday's eclipse may be a wild ride, but this time you may be the one to come out on top.  Just weather the relationship ups and downs and don't let it get you down. Be secure in the knowledge that you will prevail if you just keep a level head and refuse to get carried away with the considerable craziness.  You may even come out on top financially in a way you never imagined.

Libra

Libra may enjoy this eclipse if you don't get too close to the fireworks.  A love interest or friendship may provide a few ups and downs but if you are on good terms with an institution, you'll come out with more money in your pocket and new friends as well.  You may be called upon to be more careful with detail and to sit through some endlessly boring (to your way of thinking) conversations about how you should handle your money and property with more caution and attention to detail.  But that's as painful as it gets.  After that you can go off with all your Aquarian friends, one of whom may be a new love interest, and just enjoy yourself.  Or better yet, have them teach you the latest new web innovations.

Scorpio

Scorpio may come out on top in this eclipse if you can get past the crazy shifts and changes the bosses are making.  Your job and career may be challenged but you may find a way to come out in better shape through a coworker, a sibling, a trip or visitor or just making a new plan that is a bit more financially conservative or tried and true.  When you show your mettle at research and details, you may find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and realize it was your excellent money management skills all along.  Going solo may be the solution to the crazy job scene and if you have a network built up from your business contacts, it may be consulting that will start you off in a better direction.  Don't get discouraged if you are blocked from doing your thing, just wait it out for a week or two and you will regain your balance, but it may take a bit of patience. 

Sagittarius

The eclipse this week may bring you some excitement with new friendships and romantic travel a big part of your scenario.  It may ultimately end with a new need to tighten your belt financially, which is probably not going to seem very exciting to adventurous, fun-loving Sag.  Your career may demand more attention to details and more orderliness, but if you can sit through all of it, you may also find your finances improve and you advance in your career.  But watch out for others this week as the eclipse may bring major emotional ups and downs before the dust settles and advances are made.

Capricorn

Capricorn may ride your wallet like a bucking bronco this week with the lunar eclipse hitting close to capricious Neptune in your financial sector.  You may ignore all the emotional ups and downs in the interest of your conservative approach to an outward display of emotion, but you'll feel the roller coaster ride as much as anyone.  In the end, it may financially advance you but only after the ups and downs settle, which will take place over the next few weeks.  A chance for a love interest may come from someone older, careful with their money, or involved in a health profession but this one will be picky, so be sure you want to go into it before you find yourself in deeper than you intended to go.

Aquarius

Aquarius may be involved in quite a scenario with the lunar eclipse in your sign and involving Neptune, as well as the Moon.  Watch out for deception or fraud and certainly guard your reputation as scandal is always a concern when Neptune is involved.  You may find that a romantic love reaches the heights, or your work is recognized if you are an artist.  It's a good time to meditate and study different cultural or spiritual traditions.  Finances may demand more attention to detail and you may benefit financially from tightening your belt.  Just be advised that there is a roller coaster ahead as the eclipse happens on Saturday.

Pisces

Guard against scandal or any sort of deception.  If you are dealing with documents or institutions don't sign anything until September 1.  Institutions and secrets may cause trouble now.  A partnership may help you out financially.  If you can weather the roller coaster ups and downs you may even come out ahead.  Love may be demanding and partnerships may become financial but pay close attention to details.

Week of July 14, 2008

Aries

The Full Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn on Friday will show you that decisions about your career is a priority.  This is a great week for communication, especially for home and family matters.  A number of situations may improve between you and loved ones.  You may feel impatient with all the emotions everyone is expressing but they just want to enjoy family closeness.  Work and business projects go exceptionally well.  A matter that was important to you in the early 1990's may reappear for more consideration.

Taurus

The Full Moon on Friday is in the serious and business savvy sign of Capricorn.  You may want to bring someone at a distance closer or find a way to make them part of your daily life.  Independent business contracts may also become more important.  After a serious break from a very difficult situation, its time to spiff up your home and you may even decide its time to throw a party. 

Gemini

A financial matter may demand your attention so get ready for a shift.  You've got family matters on your mind and this week you can make major progress and stabilize your life if you make good use of the communication opportunities.  An invitation may come to get out to a glamorous club or restaurant so get on your glamorous threads and get out with the local glitterati.

Cancer

The Full Moon in your seventh house of partnership, marriage, and legal matters may mean a partnership matter is changing.  A serious and business savvy partner may demand that you meet financial bottom lines.  This is not a problem but the matter may involve a recent break from a family member or sibling, or possibly a visitor or neighbor.  The excellent communication opportunities this week may bring something you've wanted for a while and it may involve a commitment.

Leo

This week you are stylin' around town, dressed to set the world of glamour on fire.  You may decide to buy something beautiful and expensive, but you may also find a certain someone or an important issue from the past reappears in your life.  The Full Moon in the sign of Capricorn is in your work sector and big changes may come in that area of your  life.  Communications should be excellent and you may find this week you set a lot of important plans in motion.

Virgo

After a particularly difficult two weeks, things are improving.  A friendship or love interest is strengthened with the Full Moon in your love and creativity sector.  This week spending time with someone in private, perhaps at a resort area or great restaurant may be appealing but you may run into someone you don't expect to see, so discretion is more important than usual.

Libra

Libra is embracing beauty this week with your ruler, Venus, in the beauty and glamour sign of Leo.  Its the perfect time to buy that beautiful ring you've been wanting for yourself of your significant other, or some new stylish summer clothes.  A very difficult break with an institution or a financial situation is just starting to move out of your life.  The Full Moon in Capricorn on Friday may bring a change in your residence or a new business venture at home.  It may be something you do to correct whatever losses took place over the last couple weeks.  

Scorpio 

Scorpio is just recovering from a break with a friend or a group.  You may find your hopes and dreams are shifting and old goals are no longer relevant and new goals are getting the focus.  The big news this week is a great communication environment when you can bring new ideas and be accepted and firm up your income and finally get the commitments from others that you've needed.  The Full Moon tops off the week when you get a push from the universe to go forward with business ideas because your plan is finally coming together and it will most likely work.

Sagittarius

Sag is recovering from the difficult work and career developments of the last two weeks.  You may be weathering a very difficult situation and some disappointment in your career and you may feel that bosses have not stepped up to watch your back.  Finances may have taken a hit and you may be trying to decide where to go next with career plans.  Now you may recover some of what you lost as the Full Moon enhances your sector of finances.  Improvements may come with a partner or associate who is opening new doors for you.

Capricorn

With the Full Moon in your sign on Friday a cycle will end and begin again.  A recent planetary aspect between Mars and Saturn may have ended a relationship for you in a rather difficult disconnection.  Work may have been involved or someone important behind the scenes.  It may have also brought difficulties with an institution like a bank.  A partner or a legal matter may bring the matter into a positive opportunity.  This week communication opportunities are excellent and you may be able to sell an idea you've been working on.

Aquarius

Aquarians will be giving more thought to their jobs as something or someone behind the scenes, or an institution, may play a major role in your life.  You may have just ended an important association and be ready to move on.  Work and health matters may see improvements due to some resourceful and intelligent people with whom you are currently dealing.  You've most likely just put your foot down with someone and are ready to see some results.  

Pisces 

A very difficult break with a friend or partner has finally ended.  It may have ended a career chapter so now you'll be onto look for another one.  Finances or health may be involved.  Someone you care for or a child may help you solve some sticky problems.  Friends and hopes and dreams may be changing.  A prominent organization or group may help you gain some ground in finances or business with the Full Moon in Capricorn in your sector of friends and wishes.

Libra the Balance (Sep 24 - Oct 23)

A friend who has been there for you may cause some serious concern when they show up unannounced and decide to push financial issues.  You are there for them but they may be misguided in their assumption that you’re the bank.  Someone close may ask if you want to join a partnership or a group that will socialize together.  Finances may surprise you when another door opens, so just enjoy the week.

Pisces the Fish (February 19 - March 20)

A new love interest or a new family closeness may come from a vacation trip to the beach or a resort area, or even just dinner at a favorite restaurant.  A work matter may help you make a major career breakthrough with a powerful boss whose been doubting you for a long time.  More freedom and fun comes your way so enjoy yourself while you cook up some original new ideas.

 

Week of June 24, 2008

Aries the Ram (March 21 - April 20)

Work issues may seem confusing so it’s important to meditate or relax by biking or walking or by doing your activity of choice.  Decisive Aries may find that your usual “take charge” personality may run into uncertainty but this is a good time to learn to sense which way the wind blows.  Insights and deeper intuition have been strong for the last year and will continue.  Dealings with an institution may demand your attention.  A deep rejuvenation is possible until late November.

Taurus the Bull (April 21 - May 21)

As the Sun moves into family loving Cancer, you may find loved ones and friends want to spirit you off to a resort area or a cabin.  This is a great time to renew close relationships and catch up.  Friendships and a fresh outlook open the door to new horizons.  A group or a friend may soon want to return to your life.  Secrets may come out and a financial picture may improve.    

Gemini the Twins (May 22 - June 21)

Finances improve through the help of family members or an improved living situation.  Greater stability comes into your life through better relationships with your family and close friends.  A confusing period that has been agonizing is moving out of your life but it may remain bitter sweet.  You may be looking at a new or unusual career but it may not work out until late November. 

Cancer the Crab (June 22 - July 22)

A financially stable friend may figure in a partnership or may become a partner.  You may have to read or sign important papers or show others that you are good with detail work.  Your naturally administrative skills will help you deal with a confusing career situation but things should clear up now that the worst is over.  A foreign or spiritual influence that has been important in your life will be shift until late November.

Leo the Lion (July 23 - Aug 22)

A friend behind the scenes or someone who is working with an institution will help stabilize your income.  You would benefit from time alone with loved ones in an intimate family setting so maybe a trip to a cabin or a camping trip would be relaxing.  Finances may improve but a funding source or financial partnership may become less certain until late November.

Virgo the Virgin (Aug 23 - Seep 23)

A friend or family member who is caring and concerned will help solidify a job or a financial situation.  A relationship with someone in the family improves as they show compassion and guide you through a difficult situation.  A partner from the past may want to return or renegotiate a relationship, and this person is very usual or highly skilled in technology.   

Libra the Balance (Sep 24 - Oct 23)

Look for someone behind the scenes who wields a lot of clout and you’ll find a career ally or someone who is improving your reputation and shouting your praises.  A friendship has gone through phases that included love and now a seriously confusing period is over but it may demand that you let go of something or someone who had been in your life for a long time.

Scorpio the Scorpion, the Eagle (October 23 - November 21)

A confusing career period is finally moving to greater clarity.  Some of the confusion has been due to demands from the home base and family members but now you may let go of a career direction that was not working.  Guard your reputation as someone may want to steal the credit for your achievements.  An unusual past love or friend may want to return to your life.

Sagittarius the Centaur (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

You may be asked to mediate a potential storm between a friend or sibling and someone at a distance.  You may also be ending a family relationship with someone due to a serious conflict and soon a very agonizing period will get some resolution.  An unusual family situation that begins this week may not clear up until late November.

Capricorn the Goat (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

A partner or potential partnership may solidify your plans for a future trip or more education.  In-laws or someone at a distance may bring financial opportunities.  A sibling or a coworker may bring changes and you may have to commute to a past work place.  Love and friendship may come through the workplace. 

Aquarius the Water Bearer (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

Finances are readjusting and your income may not become settled until late November.  A coworker, boss or family member may become a financial partner.  A source of confusion regarding a partner may finally clear up, although you may have to let go of old ways of thinking about things.  You may also have to release someone from your past who is no longer able to share your personal journey.

Pisces the Fish (February 19 - March 20)

A partner or legal matter may supply financial stability through the help of family ties or children.  Dealings with an institution have finally cleared up after a great deal of agony and confusion.  Documents may demand your attention and difficulties won’t be out of your hair until late November.  Be sure you are careful with details around contracts or legal documents.  You are becoming more intuitive and a hobby or career in holistic healing may appeal to you now.            

Astrology Question for Week of June 24, 2008

I recently embarked on a new career and left a high paying job.  The new career involves helping others invest money.  My family and several friends have cautioned me that my income may drop but I am thrilled that I can finally do what I have always wanted to do, nurture people and help them improve their financial picture.  I realize the economy is uncertain but I really believe I can help others improve their financial picture.  What do the stars show?  My birthday is January 16, 1960.

 

It appears that you were lonely in your former career and that you were due to make a life change that would shake your foundation.  It apparently ended your involvement in corporate life.  This is a fateful or karmic shift for you, more like destiny than just a new career path.  It is clear that it is a spiritual path, since it involved the planets Neptune and Uranus.   

Astrology Question for Week of June 16, 2008, entire horoscope is below question

Question:  I am struggling now to regain my life after my boyfriend moved in with another woman.  He was very difficult so I lived in my own apartment and now I think that was a mistake.  He was occasionally violent and we have a 10-year-old daughter together.  For 9 years it worked.  Last year he moved in with a woman and she recently had his child. They don’t treat our daughter very well.  I am still having an intimate relationship with him and he comes over once a week but I am getting less and less interested.  I don’t seem to be able to find anyone new.  What do the stars say?  My birthday is November 3, 1965.

Answer:  You are an intense person with strong passions and strong loyalties and usually get what you want.  As a love partner you are forgiving and let go of hurt more easily than others, and your chart indicates you are continuing your relationship with him to keep things stable financially.  Until December you will probably agonize over this and you may continue your intimacy with him.  This week the situation may bring a highly emotional conversation where you decided to put your foot down about the poor treatment of your daughter.  Start looking for someone else after mid week and in the next month you may find someone else to date.  After December you will move out of this situation for good but until then you will have difficult emotional challenges.

Aries the Ram (March 21 - April 20)

Aries may decide to end a long, drawn out period when something in your life did not work.  Emotional endings come as communications may be explosive.  Major life cycles may be ending so let them go.  A new direction will emerge if you remain centered so a regular schedule of meditation and exercise and more outdoor activities for the summer may be your best option.

A boss may end your hopes for more progress.  A powerful force proves to be too difficult, and you have new opportunities coming from family connections now.  A job or a line of work where you’ve been investing time may prove more difficult than you thought.  A significant relationship may improve later in the week.

Astrology Question for Week of June 9, 2008

Astrology Question for Week of June 10, 2008

I am worried about my job.  In the past I was a law student, but the financial struggle was overwhelming so I began working as a temp.  I have had a terrible time in a major city on the west coast but I am trying to get back on my feet.  The woman I work for is a demon but the organization is excellent.  A coworker told me the headquarters is looking into her bad record with employees so I am hoping she will leave.  I can hardly stand it but I feel if I hang on things may work out.  My birthday is August 11, 1965.

You may get an opportunity to return to a job or a career path that you considered in the past.  It may involve documents or you may return to finish law school.  This is a strong direction now so if you still have an interest in the law, chances may not be this good again.  As for staying in the current office, there are major rearrangements that may very well bring big improvements and you may get a promotion or a better position.  Wait until June 20 to make any major decisions.

Aries the Ram (March 21 - April 20)

You may decide to release something from your life that you’ve had for a long time. It could be your job or a health concern that has worried you.  Careful that you don’t run amok with a bank or other institution that has an issue with you and be sure you take care of financial matters.  Friends are fun and you may visit someone or commute to a job where the coworkers are lively. 

Taurus the Bull (April 21 - May 21)

Taurus may find friends or neighbors to join you at the clubs, movies or art galleries.  A sensitive friend may not trust your new friends or a brilliant new idea you get to earn more income.  Someone close pulls you back down to earth just when you felt yourself lift off.  The helium for the balloon ride is coming from all your chatty buddies. 

Gemini the Twins (May 22 - June 21)

Fun has returned to your life but a couple of rough spots around career issues can ruffle your feathers.  Its tough to get out from under someone’s shadow and an unusual boss or unusual development at work may feel like you’ve temporarily hit a wall.  A trip to a distant place or a new philosophy of life may rejuvenate you.

Cancer the Crab (June 22 - July 22)

Secret or private information someone tells you may fill in the blanks on a puzzling situation.  Careful that you don’t get a reputation for gossiping even if it’s undeserved.  Finances may benefit from communication or close attention to the details on documents.  Make fun a priority and enjoy spending time with loved ones in private as it will be cozy and intimate, and make you feel like a new person.

Leo the Lion (July 23 - Aug 22)

Friend’s and organizations get you in back into the social swing.  Someone wants to renegotiate a friendship and they may restore communication.  Travel and lively trips to clubs and restaurants add zip to your life.  Hide your wallet, as friends may need a few extra bucks to make it all happen. 

Virgo the Virgin (Aug 23 - Seep 23)

Career plans are shifting and you may seriously consider returning to a career direction from the past.  New travel and communication possibilities may improve your prospects, even at a current job.  Your partner may not approve of the demands made by bosses or the plans for office rearrangements.  It’s a good time to enjoy a weekend away with your partner.

Libra the Balance (Sep 24 - Oct 23)

Friends want to get you out so meet them at the restaurant with a view of the lake.  Talk is rejuvenating and documents may bring important news.  Friends discuss someone at a distance.  Someone may ask you to travel to a foreign location.  You would enjoy a trip but it may interfere with your work schedule or your home life.

A financial partnership, a settlement, or an inheritance matter may require attention to details.  A partner from the past may return and ask to make a new agreement.  Communications hit a temporary wall when a love interest or friend nixes new plans.

Sagittarius the Centaur (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

The Pluto cycle that transformed your life over the last few years is not over.  The last few months of reexamining your philosophy of life and your values will last until late November when it will finally be over.  A partner from the past may want to renegotiate your relationship or return to your life.  Communications and documents need to be handled carefully as they may bring changes.

Capricorn the Goat (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

Work is changing rapidly and you may get a chance to return to a past job.  An unusual or difficult coworker or neighbor may cause the same old problems and you may not want to revisit all this, but think it over carefully because if you can get past the troublemaker, it is quite promising.  Someone unusual may suggest an excellent but unconventional solution.        

Aquarius the Water Bearer (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

A love interest or a child may cause you to take a good look at the past.  You may readjust your approach to a social project.  Documents and communications may bring new information or messages that were lost until now.  An unusual financial opportunity, possibly related to the web or computer technology, may be intriguing but you may have to harmonize it with family or social life.

Pisces the Fish (February 19 - March 20)

Numerous changes at home may include the return of a younger family member or someone who travels often.  Documents and communications are important so read the dotted lines carefully.  An institution like a bank may be at odds with plans for your home or family.
