Horoscope
August 28 - September 3, 2008
Heavenly Round-Up: There are a million relevant details — or is that a million and three? They replicate like tribbles: The more you do, the more there is to do. It’s a simple fact of life. Perform triage first and separate the sheep from the white elephants. Next, assemble a crack field team that will have your back when it matters most. You already have the necessary skills, but you have to be able to apply (and know when to apply) them. Try harder.
Aries: You’ve put off the tedious task for long enough. You can run, but you’re a little big to hide in any of the places you’ve tagged in your head. Time has passed; you’re not the spring chicken you once were. Get a professional in to look at where you think the problem is.
Taurus: Not so fast, oh lovely one. You can use your charm and winsome ways to carry you a far way down the block, but there may be corners ahead you’re not ready to turn. There may be more to all of this than meets the trusting eye. Bring your skepticism with you everywhere
Gemini: It’s ”look but don’t touch season.” It’s ”listen, but keep your mouth shut” time. There’s so much going on it’s hard not to put your two cents in. Still, you’ll cover all kinds of ground and learn all but the secret to eternal life, if you can manage a low profile a little longer.
Cancer: Systems can take you farther down the road than you could have imagined. Get yours into place and you’ll have more than one reason to thank yourself before the week is over. Get a Virgo to give you a helping hand and there’s nothing you can’t accomplish.
Leo: Look it all over. Look again. Are you paying close attention? Have you done all that your powers of observation can manage? Is there anyone else you trust to give it the once over all over again? Don’t be in too big a hurry to commit, until you’ve been as thorough as all that.
Virgo: Get into your best assessment mode. You should be deciding what the next whole year will look like for you. Then get your ducks in a row. It’s time, and the omens are propitious as they want to be. But you’ll have to be all that to get from here to there. You just go, Girl!
Libra: Walk the talk for the masses. They need to see that you’re toeing the party line and carrying forward the good work. In your heart of hearts you can retain that rebel within, the one with the subversive message. You’ll find an outlet for your version of reality by Tuesday.

Scorpio: Carry on, carry it out, carry forward, carry the one. Just keep on going. You’ll get there. You’ll be glad you tried. You’re in the midst of it now. And the only thing that can save you, the only thing keeping you sane, is that community of like-minded souls holding you up.
Sagittarius: The harder you work, the more there is for you to do. The more details you itemize, the more you see each time you look again. Is it endless? Are you clearing the beach with a teaspoon? Cutting down the forest with a herring? It’s like a dream: Do it and succeed.
Capricorn: You’re in the catbird seat. Your brains are fully functional. Your back is strong enough. Your will is fully developed. You have a full tank and an open heart. You also have the reasoning to allow you to see the best of all possible options, as opposed to the easiest.
Aquarius: It would be more fun and less stressful for you if you let someone else shoulder some of the burden. In fact, it’s not yours to carry alone and it’s almost insulting to act as though others aren’t capable of holding up their end. Eschew patronization for friendliness.
Pisces: Semantics will drive you into a corner sulking every time. Because you can’t learn? Because you won’t grow up? Because you let others tease you? Let go of all that silliness. Bring your ”A” game to the table and show them what you’re really made of. Wear rayon.

Horoscope
August 21-27, 2008
Heavenly Round-Up: Those lazy, carefree, wholly mythical days of summer draw to a close. Will they be replaced by the mindless scurrying of autumn’s unseemly haste? Will you choose resentment of your obligations instead? No single season lasts forever, in nature or in the human heart. Take an internal inventory. Assess your assets. Weigh your liabilities. They both have value when you’re bottom-lining the now with an eye toward the future. Practice what you preach, or keep your mouth shut and leave it in other hands.
Aries: If you’re just getting by, it’s a subsistence living for which you’ve settled. If you’re coasting, you’ll like that better, but you’re drifting without a goal that you desire. What do you really want? What applecart would you be prepared to upset getting there? Think again.
Taurus: Resplendent in the robes of your recent success, you’re not motivated to go above and beyond your duties in the fracas forming near you. Clean hands may hide a multitude of things left undone. Can you step up to the plate with any kind of a will? Reflect on Saturday.
Gemini: You can do anything you want to. You can refuse to do anything you don’t. You have as many choices as you have the will to make them. But you still don’t feel like you have the knowledge or the cover to get from here to there. Will procrastination change anything?
Cancer: Peace comes at a price. Vision, understanding and action may cost more in the short term, but they’re value positions in the long run. Your dreams provide the clue to your next big move through the world of your ever self-creating soul. Use the advantage Wednesday.
Leo: You’ve got a community and you know how to let it appreciate you. You know how to get the word out. You know which way the wind blows and how to make the sailboat go thereby. Can you put the full package together? Will it get you what and where you want?
Virgo: The ley lines have shifted. You can feel a new power coursing through you. You could choose anything and make it your possible future. You’ll have to let go of those so-called limitations dogging you this last year. You’ll have to presuppose and deliver a sound victory.
Libra: What would it be worth to you? Can you put up with the cross-examination? Can you have logic questioned until it’s nonsense? Can you delve below the pleasant surface and bring up the truth in your teeth from the murkiest bottom? You have the skills, what about will?

Scorpio: It’s not your problem in any literal sense of the word. But you’re compassionate — when you have the time — and this is like that. If you jump in, you may find the water’s deeper than you could have imagined. You may find the environment suits you magnificently. Invest.
Sagittarius: Walking away with the prize is no bad thing from time to time. It may be your turn. Give yourself a pat on the back. Then remember — out loud — all the people who made it possible for you to get from there to here. It takes a village to do all kinds of things.
Capricorn: You have a good head on your shoulders. You have a spine holding you upright. You have sense in spades. Why do you still hesitate? It’s yours for the taking, albeit a little wreathed in ignominy at this point. So it’s tarnished, polish it. Stained? Wash it all away!
Aquarius: Look for the silver lining. Don’t splurge: Invest the windfall of this unexpected bonus. Be cautious, but think small cap all the same. Show your maneuverability in the field. Share your drop of insight with someone insignificant. You may have a thorn to pull later.
Pisces: Simplicity is the breath of life and a luxury out of your price range just now. You can boldly go wherever you want. You can do whatever needs doing. But you don’t have to like it. Funny, they’re your choices and they aren’t forced (unless you did the forcing). Reboot?

Horoscope
August 14-20, 2008
Heavenly Round-Up: We may not serve our own best interests by chasing after the ideals of our desire nature. Equally, we may not serve our own best interests by denying our desire nature. Matters of timing and priority factor in the equation. Use your intuition and imagination to squeeze your way through this dilemma. Wonder and ponder at leisure. Don’t hurry into any decision for or against. While mulling things over, try multitasking: Clean out the closet or sort the linens. Call Wednesday.
Aries: Is it still your turn to be in charge of naming and responding to the ongoing situation? Are you still Chief Information Officer and Bottle Washer? Was this your intent going in? When will you call it a day? When will you develop a viable exit strategy? Ditch your pride.
Taurus: Confirmation of your many graces stares you in the face wherever you go. Why can’t you hear what everyone is saying about you? Reframe your perspective in order to give a cohesive shape to your goals. Trust in the vision that others share back to you. Go farther.
Gemini: It isn’t so much fate as it is probability. You can easily buck the odds. You can readily play through and recover much with your legendary dexterity. It’s up to you to choose focus over destiny. Since you have free will, spread the good word around: Tell a Capricorn about it.
Cancer: It’s like when you were a kid, remember? The dynamic has the same structure and everything. Or does it? You’re throwing your experiential framework on an independently created context. Sit back and meditate your way through your attachments to nostalgia.
Leo: Sincerity is one of your specialties. You have both the charm and the charisma to spare. So why are you second guessing yourself so hard? It’s not like you to doubt your own ability. How much more important is this question than so many others you’ve already asked?
Virgo: You’re more than ready to get the ball rolling. It may be a case of ”better late than never,” but it oughtn’t be postponed any longer. Get down to brass tacks and bring all the game you can muster. This round is for keeps; and your reputation may be riding on it.
Libra: Take a hard look at your commitments and what kinds of time constraints are already in play. Wanting is not as viable a choice directive as actual availability, n’est-ce pas? Work yourself like six demons while you’re so distracted internally. You won’t even notice.

Scorpio: You had no idea they cared. Aren’t you funny? Of course you’re not as invisible as you imagine, and it’s never anything but a surprise when others bring this unavoidably to your attention. Continue to let your life speak, and you’ll do the hometown folks so proud.
Sagittarius: Is it a crisis of confidence or one of accomplishment? You didn’t have to hang around blowing your margin for error. But you like working without a net. So get on with what needs doing, and have a blast working to deadline. You’ve got what it takes to do it.
Capricorn: No one needed you to be perfect. No one expected you to succeed to the degree you have. No one counted on your monumental responsiveness to a situation not of your making. You’re really all that and then some. Now, stop resting on your laurels and be happy.
Aquarius: The divide between what you want and what you need has rarely seemed so wide. How will you resolve your issue? You could wait it out. Inertia is effective, though time consuming. You could drop the bomb tomorrow and force the matter. What will you do?
Pisces: You could dance more gracefully if you believed in the efficacy of the movements. Really, they work. You’ll bring your entire life into sharp focus and actualized potential if you can only forgive your own flaws and believe in your own inner seed of natural perfection.

Horoscope
August 7-13, 2008
Heavenly Round Up: Isn’t it ready yet? Are we there yet? Is it time? Maybe you’ve waited patiently enough, long enough. Maybe you’re whiny as hell and rushing your fences. But there’s this irresistible urge to go for what you want. Desire is in play — the kind Buddhists work on, more so than the sort popular in the daytime stories. If you’re going to risk being attached to your perceived life, could you also conceive of bettering it? Yeah, perfection is a frame of mind — either live it or get it!
Aries: So much to get started on now that conditions are ideal. Like ol’ Merv there, you can’t do this alone. What tactics will you employ to see your will made manifest in the shared parts of your life? Will you sneak around, or could you flaunt your intentions with impunity? Ponder.
Taurus: If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and dances like duck, you need to get a better gig — and in the performing arts, no less. Do reconsider right down to the ground every last core assumption you can lay your hands on. Digging deeper will be greatly rewarded.
Gemini: Distance might be key. But it could be profundity of commitment, thought and action which truly reaps the desirable benefits of application. You’ll want to research your primary communication mode to see if it still meets your needs better than the other options. Climb.
Cancer: Suspense is what you make of it. You have a burning passion and an insurmountable hunger. You will go there and do what’s necessary to achieve this personal Holy Grail. Oddly, we’re probably talking about BBQ or pho or hand-packed ice cream. Try off the beaten path.
Leo: Substance used to be your forte. But these days, you find yourself on shrinking turf, not unlike the polar bears. If you’re losing the ego-ground on which you used to stand four-square, then this might be the time to invest in a deep psychic overhaul. Gestalt? Freud?
Virgo: You can accommodate practically anything when you get down to brass tacks. But should you have to? That’s the question. ‘Tis nobler to keep yourself sane, just in case your rare condition is contagious. Vote the weakest link off the island to maintain your course.
Libra: It might have been innocent when you got started, but where are you now? Has the number of people to whom you might admit this latest foible grown or shrunk? What price would you pay, and to whom would you pay it to release yourself from the consequences?

CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS |
Scorpio: Once again, you amaze your friends and confound your enemies with the inevitable transformation of being and nothingness, which you perfected oh-so long ago. Would you flourish or rot if you stayed the same? Focus harder after the weekend. Eight Ball says ”No.”
Sagittarius: Calm yourself sufficiently to remember your dreams. Not only will they be more intense than usual, but there’s a message buried in the random images pertaining to right here and now, as well as the desirable future. Do yourself a favor and take good notes.
Capricorn: Listless? Restless? A touch paranoid? It’s maybe not just your imagination. Maybe the neighbors/co-workers/service people are all in your business. If this is true, is it a hint for you to reevaluate what you have and where it’s going and in what company for how long?
Aquarius: Present yourself with a terrific reward. You’ve done a really good job. You’ve busted your hump when others took undeclared holidays. You held the fort until the cavalry arrived. But now you’re a hero emeritus — only as good as your last act of daring-do. Hmmm.
Pisces: Persistence is the hobgoblin of narrow perspectives. Are you therefore condoned in your flighty and somewhat erratic path? Philosophy and spirituality draw you almost as much as your favorite court-procedural TV show. Walk empty into nature to get properly filled.
