All Signs
It's been said that you can make your opportunities in life; but opportunity is not really an easy thing to define. Opportunity might knock at a door that never opens. Did anyone know it was there? Some say opportunity is a state of readiness for an event. We do know life unfolds according to the laws of cause and effect, seed and result. This is obvious. But what makes the seed grow? Certain conditions are necessary. I think conditions are opportunities -- like a wind that ignites an existing spark. This week is a time of opportunity. Whatever seeds you planted can now sprout quickly! That's why Steven Wright is out there looking for a tiny tractor for his ant farm. (That's an Age of Asparagus joke.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your confidence in working with groups or directing the energies of others or even relating to friends and acquaintances is growing in leaps and bounds! You see now that all you had to do was reach out and make it happen. Your enthusiasm and your drive inspire others. For some of you, this kind of teamwork can lead to new opportunities to make money. (That's another area where opportunities abound.) Be ready to act on these moneymaking ideas. New jobs and new contacts are all part of the picture. You're going places, and it has to do with your increasing talent and ability to successfully deal with others. Salut!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is an excellent time for your sign. You're very ambitious right now; and it looks like your drive and one-pointed focus is ready to pay off. You see new applications for existing technology. You see new ways of using things, including the resources of others. Unexpected favours and opportunities from friends and groups just fall in your lap right now. Don't be afraid to act! Uranus is in the picture here, and that means your window of opportunity is short. You'll have to have a quick response time. You don't like this: you like to sleep on things. Too bad. The only thing you can sleep on right now is your mattress. Trust your own good fortune. Learn to recognize when something good is staring you right in the face.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You can make enormous strides right now in areas connected with publishing, the media, travel, foreign countries and your reputation in general. Believe it or not, you can even make great strides dealing with your in-laws! Some of the opportunities that come your way are hidden and unexpected. They could even be related to large institutions and the government. Caution: your enthusiasm about religious ideas or something political or metaphysical could make you kinda pushy. Don't try to dazzle others with your psychobabble. Give the little people a chance. Not everyone is multilingual, running around with a Thesaurus strapped to their thigh.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
People surprise you now. This could be unexpected friends showing up, or surprise news from afar. Yet again, existing friends might pull a few stunts or do something bizarre and unusual. Whatever happens probably pleases you. (After you catch your breath.) Someone might extend help to you now by letting you use something they own, or joining forces with you to improve something. In some fashion, the resources of others assist you now; but you will have to move fast to accommodate this opportunity. One result can be an improved job situation. Perhaps you now have the means to repair something where you work, or even introduce better ways of doing things.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The Sun and Venus are at the top of your chart. Mars is directly opposite you winking at Pluto. (And Venus only has eyes for Uranus.) It's a cozy arrangement but a bit mind-boggling. Some of you want to redefine relationships now. You feel strong, determined and highly opinionated about your partnerships. You want to make them work better. Naturally, agreement from your partner would be nice, since the operative word is "better." Ya think? Don't get pushy. Even if you're right, if others don't agree with you -- what's the point? Creative differences can be ironed out. Make sure you know what your motivation is before you lay all this out. But if you're clear about your purpose - others will see the light. (Did you remember to buy some double AA's?)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Probably more than any other sign, you can make enormous strides at work, in your job, and improving how you work with others. For one thing, you're very gung ho to get organized and work hard right now. This week you're galvanized into action! You see possibilities for reform and improvement wherever you look. Curiously enough, this same planetary influence can help you to improve your health as well. Lay out a little self-improvement plan to eat better, get some exercise, and drink more water. Why not start off by jogging in front of your fridge? Considering how long you spend staring inside it -- that's a good start! Unexpected opportunities to travel or be in the media are likely as well. (Your get fit program makes local TV.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You feel very intensely and deeply about love affairs right now. You might feel the same way about artistic projects, and/or your approach to working with children. The common thread in all these different activities is your passion and your zeal for improving things. Your sex life is pretty hot now. (At least, it could be.) Unexpected gifts and goodies are coming your way as well; and possibly, these advantages come through someone else like your partner. Like several other signs, you're on a self-improvement kick right now. That's wonderful. It means you're making friends with yourself and your body. Once you start taking better care of yourself -- Lord knows where this will lead? Harmonica lessons?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your sign rules everything that is hidden and undercover. As such, it rules garbage, septic systems, plumbing systems and even graveyards. (Make no bones about it.) Baaaad. However, this means when you decide to get rid of things, you purge your life of them! Right now you're making sweeping changes at home. Out with the old, in with the new. You're making repairs and introducing better ways of doing things where you live and also within your family dynamic. Part of this is because you're trying to free yourself up from unnecessary obligations and duties. You value your independence. And you intend to go on valuing it. That's your story and you're sticking to it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
If you work in the arts, the entertainment world, show business, the hospitality industry or professional sports - you're dynamite right now. You can talk anyone into anything. And most of you are pretty smooth talkers to begin with! (I always say a Sagittarian can sell someone the Brooklyn Bridge.) This does seem to contradict the fact that you're very honest. But you do have a touch of the Blarney Stone -- admit it. Perhaps you're enthused about unexpected and last minute improvements where you work? New technology might make things easier and faster. Just don't go overboard. (Because you're tempted to do this.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Romance, vacations and playful times are fun loving and likely to take new, surprising directions right now. Perhaps it's the temptation of all this fun that makes you suddenly want to spend a lot of money? However, some of you have the opposite reaction. You're pulling out all stops to make money. You see new ways of doing it, because you see new ways of using old material. Back to the romance part (always fun) - new love can begin for some of you. If so, it's exciting, maybe kinky, but likely short-lived. Flash in the pan stuff. Nevertheless, this is definitely diary material. Oh yeah.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
How many squats are you going to do? You're jogging or weight lifting, or dieting or all of the above. One thing is certain: you've decided to buff that bod. All those winter snacks have forced you to let out the last pleat in your shower curtain. Enuff! Most of you are definitely exercising right now because you want to improve yourself. And you have big plans that might entail getting out of your golf cart now and then. Whatever you're doing, you so pumped, you can influence others now -- friends and groups. When you say "Jump", they say "Into that?" You're the team coach, making it all happen. You're pleased with new goodies for your home.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Many of you are meeting new faces now. Introductions through siblings and relatives are likely. For that matter, siblings and relatives are also a source of surprise for you now. People are impressed with you because you're full bright ideas and zany, new concepts that are a bit off the wall. Just don't overextend yourself financially. You might go overboard buying something; or you might make rash promises at work. (Moi?) Take it back a notch. Stay within the realm of possibility. It doesn't sound as sexy, but at least it's doable. Doable is important and very popular with people.
