Horoscope for the Week of August 15, 2016

Sometimes we just need a little sugar for our bitter cup of coffee. No sooner said than done when Venus conjuncts jolly Jupiter in earthy Virgo. A less-than-attractive opportunity suddenly becomes a must have. Kiss a frog and watch them turn into royalty. Or maybe not...?

(Kim Kardashian has Venus in Virgo)

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Even if you feel like a mangy old rat on a treadmill, this week is a bit more festive at work. Even the most onerous job becomes a little more interesting and lucrative. Try to learn as much as you can from every little boring task. Aries soon begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel on their job. (Let us hope that it is not the light of an oncoming train...)

TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
If too much is piled on your goodie plate, don’t panic. You may be feeling a summer slump but you are certainly no slouch when the party train pulls into the station. But all play and no work make Taureans susceptible to laziness. Use this opportunity to hone your more artistic and creative skills and apply it to an important project. Err so what’s your motivation?

GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Geminis may find their home life a center of activity this week. Take the bitter with the better in any family situation; who knows what breakthroughs are possible now? The secret is the strive for mutual respect, if you possibly can. Of course they may have their inane opinions but as long as you remain true to yourself (and spike the party punch) you prevail.

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Cancers may inherit a rare case of foot in mouth this week. But alls well that ends well as the frank opinion that you blurt out may be just the bit of fresh air needed to get things on track again. Say what you mean after careful consideration. Perhaps it’s time to write your manifesto. Then use it to manifest your destiny. Whoo hoo! No names please...

LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Money lessons hit fast and furious this week. All that glitters may not be gold so get your values in sync with your personal finances. But you can be tempted - A shopping spree puts you in the hole and could teach you a valuable lesson. Hmm. Perhaps Leos should gather it up, tamp it down and save their pennies for the after Labor Day sales. But how boring is that!

VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
There is more than enough jolly activity going on in your life this week. Virgos should take it to the streets while this festive energy propels you into the limelight and makes you a star. Be kind and magnanimous to all. You never know who will figure prominently in your life’s goals and it would be a shame to snub ‘em before you get a chance to rubadub them.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
A spark of intuition leads to new rewards this week. Libras are best served by volunteering for the less fortunate now. The problem is that you may not see this work as a glamourous role. But grab it while you can and make it a social connector. Once you finish the tough work, you will be poised and ready to rub elbows with the tinseled deep pocketed set. And you will glitter.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Who knows what pals are capable of during this week? Try not to be too suspicious of all the friendly goings on; you may jump to the wrong conclusions and upset the applecart of true comradeship. Go with the platonic flow Scorpio and dance to their tune. The group may in fact direct you to your life’s mission (or a great gift) so stop kvetching and listen!

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Sagittarians may feel like they are on the short end of a professional stick but this week turns sticks into golden divining rods or maybe golden parachutes. Try your best. Step up to the corporate plate and hit a home run. You have much more resources at your disposal than you think. Maybe you have been too too nice. Maybe its time to be naughty... or underhanded.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
You have probably been travelling more but enjoying it less. Take heart Capricorn, there is a good lesson to be learned from all your travels and travails; everything falls into place this week. Who knows; You may learn a thing or two that will prove to be extremely rewarding on many levels through the rest of the summer. Mutual sun lotion slathering may be one of those lessons.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Heat up your sexuality this week but allow lovers and potential lovers a long long rope. (maybe for lassoing...) There is something about you that is very alluring. You might be surprised at the range of desirable matches available to you this week. The secret is to take your time and choose carefully, Aquarius. One is more than enough. Darn!

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Just when you are tempted to toss it all away in a particular relationship, you are pushed to rearrange your priorities this week. During this sultry summer season, try to forgive those wet towels on the floor or dirty underwear on the pillow. There is much to recommend your current relationship. Pisces should not take any firm stands now. Try reclining or prone. Ahem.

 

 

Lucky Numbers for the Week of August 12, 2016

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes. So with that in mind, here are some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....?

I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth.

Here are the lucky numbers for the week of August 12-18, 2016:

1, 6, 11, 17, 26, 67, 75, 80

There are many ways to delve into your own consciousness to find luck and intuition. Try reading Dream Power/Improve Your Luck (Super Strength Series) and see if your dreams give you any clues and premonitions. Here's a guide to the best books available this month

LoveScope for the Week of August 10, 2016

Our expressions of love can become dramatic and bold this week. It is not the time to be shy. Take a calculated risk on love and see where it can lead. Maybe to Italy...?

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Plan a bunch of fun activities this week, Aries. You have ample energy, curiosity and creativity. It may be a time of romance but more likely, it will be a time of letting loose and exploring your more artistic side. Is nude dancing for couples artistic?

TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Your home will become a happy epicenter of activity and good cheer this week. So get off your couch, spruce up your nest and arrange for a gathering of your favorite people for a nice home cooked dinner. What and who is on the menu, Taurus...?

GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Say what you need to say, especially to those who you care about. Geminis try to keep things light and flirty but now you can seriously open up your heart, express your deepest feelings and let others in. They will never want to get out, nor will you.

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
There are trinkets that you feel you absolutely need and may spend emotionally. This is not advisable unless you have enough spare cash on hand. They say that the best things in like are free, Cancer. Don’t be surprised to find this to be true.

LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Take a leap of faith for love this week, Leo. You are particularly attractive and will have your choice of possibilities. But that will only happen if you get out of your rut and routine and start mixing with a new bag of nuts. Be sure to bring the beer.

VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Don’t be surprised if there is gossip milling around and it is about you, Virgo! Whatever you have been up to romantically becomes the hot topic of conversation. Who knows where this can lead? A few new amours or a few closed doors? Hmm.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
You may find that a certain friend is much more interesting than you first thought. If that becomes the case, explore where this new relationship can go. Libras will find the happy balance between platonic and passionate. Or it will tip your scales!

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
There will be times now when your professional situation takes on a more personal tone. Maybe it is because there is a flirty someone who captures your interest. Be careful of mixing business with pleasure ... unless you can use it to further advance.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
A short getaway might be just the thing to pep you up and elevate your mood. Get out of your rut, Sagittarius, and see what and who the world has to offer. Visit a new destinations and explore every nook and cranny. And let’s not name names....

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Capricorns are sexier than usual. So use this zest to expand and enrich your love life. If you are part of a pair, bite the apple. If you are on the prowl, check out some new venues. How many can you handle at once. You won’t know until you try.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Does a particular relationship need a bit more spice? I think you know so, Aquarius. It is time to charge up any moribund situation and bring some sexy excitement to your life. Before you know it you will have a spring in your step. Avoid low ceilings!

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Anything you do to improve your health regime this week will pay off in many great ways, Pisces. You may be too hard on yourself. Check out your diet, exercise and general health regimes. The idea is to reduce stress anyway you can.... Ahem!

Horoscope for the Week of August 8, 2016

Summer is not the only thing that is hot and zesty. Life heats to an uncontrollable boil as Mars enters Sagittarius and conjuncts retrograde Saturn. Our deliberate actions could set off some crazy series of events. Kerpow! Life will NOT be boring.

(Jennifer Lopez has Mars in Sagittarius)

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Although this might seem like an opportune time to summer travel, Aries are advised to briefly stick to the tried and true and avoid any wayward twists and turns. You find that there are too many barriers and delays. Or perhaps there are too many loose details to tie up. Adventure may not be all its cracked up to be.... this particular week.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
As much as you think of yourself as a sex symbol, the cosmos may shine an unflattering light on your best assets now. Taureans can’t seem to attract the lovers they want and manage to get too involved in wasteful, uninteresting liaisons. As much as you love to strut your stuff, why not try to blend into the background and look steamy ... in very low light.

GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Geminis try their best in certain relationships but even your best efforts may not move the needle at this time. Things appear to stagnate and fester. Instead of tossing it all out, remain patient. Learn from your past frustrations and attempt do better. Before you know it you will have your choice of the best of the best. Now that will be a nice change of pace!

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Cancers want to outshine the competition on the job but can’t seem to gain any traction in the climb. No matter what you try, you seem to reach a dead end or a stream of disapproval. No matter. Don’t despair. Things are temporarily on hold. Just box up your great ideas, enthusiasm and rampant ambition and unwrap it next week. Then open your Pandora’s Box!

LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
There is something fabulous swimming in your head but it can’t get out. Could it be a burst of under appreciated genius just waiting to make its stage entrance? Anything is possible but no one will notice. Leos could chalk it up to creative block. This is not the week to grace the universe with your artistic sense. Mull, dream and wait. Razzle dazzle ‘em next week.

VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Your home may be a source of frustration. Virgos ache for changes, improvements, motion or even a light breeze or new air freshener around the house. Alas, it is not to be. But all things come in good time. Before you know it, you will be able to implement all your carefully crafted plans and make your humble surroundings a palace.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Although you are filled with brilliant ideas, it will be difficult to gain an appreciative audience this week. Libras may be surrounded by nay sayers, dummies and a few egotists. Don’t toss your pearls of wisdom before these swine. Take a cat nap and wake refreshed and raring to go go go. Find a new audience next week. Then you make headlines. Uh oh....

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
If your money situation was tight, expect more of the same now as funds seep out uncontrollably. If you thought you had a few extra bucks in the till, you find the drawer locked or empty. Scorpios have to satisfy their extravagant tastes with more mundane (and much cheaper) amusements. Be creative or austere now. Splurge and buy drinks for the house later.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Many of your personal projects will be put on hold for the time being. That is because nothing you do will move them forward or in the right direction now. This may not be a bad thing though. Sagittarians will be better off taking a breath to pause, reflect and reprioritize. There is too much on your plate to handle everything effectively. Start a diet.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
If you feel too caught up in the whirlwind of the group dynamic, you have a chance to sit and catch your breath. Things slow down to a crawl. So much so that you may find it a bit too solitary and staid. So Capricorns who find that their pals command too much time and attention should enjoy them while they can. Life is pretty boring otherwise.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Your otherwise stellar career progress appears stalled and dead-ended. All your best moves do not have the intended effect. But look on the bright side; This gives you a chance to take a step back, survey the landscape and make necessary adjustments in your plans. Aquarians will be reinvigorated next week. Prepare for your coup d’etat.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Is there something under the surface that itches and annoys? If so there is not much that you can do to scratch the itch this week. Cool down, chill out and relax, Pisces. There is plenty of time to get your karma chug-a-lugging and your psychic baggage opened and dumped. For now just meditate good thoughts and channel all of the benign spirits.
