This would be a good day for seeking the support of others. Whether these are colleagues or your bosses, it looks as though
it's work that is uppermost in your mind at present. Generally speaking, you can make sure that progress is fairly smooth,
and practical issues in particular offer great scope for progress.
Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)
You could well benefit from taking a back seat just for today. It probably isn't that you have run out of steam, merely that
you may be doing things about which you are not particularly confident. Even if superiors seem remote, you shouldn't assume
you have upset them.
Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)
This is a day that should be very fulfilling as far as your ego is concerned. You ought to be able to attract plenty of
compliments, and to persuade even people who haven't always been too friendly in the past to show greater warmth now. If
your own attitude is positive, you can see gains everywhere.
Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
Don't be afraid to open up to loved ones and listen carefully to what they are telling you. Even if you find some difficulty
at first with regard to a new interest or pastime, in the main you need the stimulus that comes from looking at situations
in a different way.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
What's this - Sagittarius being socially reluctant? Your friendly side is not as pronounced as would normally be the case,
and the stupidity of certain other people could really get on your nerves. You won't want to show the fact and there are
times today when your best response is simply to count to ten.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
Just at the time you need to get to the root of a number of issues, along comes the lunar low. It isn't often that this time
of the month turns out to be genuinely useful, but perhaps you can make it so this time. With a slackening of pace and more
time to yourself you should be able to think things through carefully.
Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
There are signs that the demands made on you professionally are likely to be significant now. That could be one of the
reasons why you choose to commit yourself mainly to family matters. Certain issues could look somewhat threatening, and
though you are not one to shy away from a challenge.
Pisces (Feb 19 - March 20)
Even if your level of self-confidence isn't at its lowest, there may be occasions around now when you feel your nature to be
eclipsed by that of more powerful and dynamic types. Though understandable, this needn't really be an issue. You can get
where you want to be in life.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Venus is in your solar fifth house and in just the right position to help you achieve a greater level of popularity. This is
a wave you can successfully ride if you are sensible and if you avoid getting grumpy about things that aren't really worth
the effort. Getting it just right is not very easy for Aries at present.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Domestic and family affairs could prove most rewarding under present trends, and even if you could be quite busy you need to
leave time to simply be with those you love the most. You could also be in touch with people at a distance, and might be
receiving a particularly fascinating communication.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
A light-hearted phase continues and the best qualities of Gemini can now be put on display. You needn't take anything very
seriously and can almost catapult yourself into exciting situations. What you make of them is entirely up to you, but there
isn't any doubt about your enthusiasm.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The lunar high offers new incentives and helps you to bring excitement into your life. Where things are slow you now have
what it takes to speed up the pace of life and you show a willing and happy attitude to the world. Conforming to the
expectations of others is now a piece of cake.
