horoscopes :::

(PUBLISHED 31 AUG)

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK . . . Spend extra time with loved ones and romantic partners over the next eight weeks. Planetary alignments now suggest that key relationships may soon experience a brief but intense wave of restlessness. Minor disputes and sudden social changes can be expected before mid-November. Remain consistent and ask for detailed explanations. Loved ones may provide surprising revelations. Early in 2005 career expansion and business training will take top priority. Cancelled or postponed projects from approximately 13 months ago will resurface in early 2005. Check funding sources thoroughly — quick decisions will bring dramatic work place or educational opportunities before June 23.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Message: Finding solid ground.

Before midweek, a longtime friend may discover unusual family or romantic information concerning private finances, fast home decisions and complex social triangles. Provide encouragement, because over the next few weeks your continued loyalty will offer comfort and support. Wednesday through Saturday also accent new love affairs and exotic romantic proposals. Someone close may wish to explore greater intimacy or serious commitments, so stay focused.

Taurus (April 21-May 20)

Message: Preparing to dazzle.

Potential friends and lovers will now be drawn to your emotional style or social ideals. Some Taureans may also this week encounter rare flirtations from an older friend or business associate. If so, expect romance and new attractions to be passionate but unreliable. At present, social triangles may prove bothersome. Later this week, work place routines may change without warning. Officials and managers will protect their reputations; avoid confrontation, if possible.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Image: Buried deep within the earth, tangled roots and twigs.

Message: Muddled growth.

During the next seven days, younger relatives may provide misinformation or poorly defined home schedules. Family relations are now temporarily strained by vague promises. Enjoy private activities or creative hobbies, if possible. Quiet reflection will provide insight into difficult relationships. Thursday through Saturday, quick financial decisions are necessary. Long-term debt, legal permissions or corporate funding will require delicate timing; remain diplomatic.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Message: Feeling the pull.

Costly errors and rare contractual disagreements may soon be a brief theme. Before midweek, thoroughly re-check the validity of key documents or new financial sources. At present, the instructions and promises of authority figures may be unreliable. After Wednesday, romantic tensions are unavoidable. A recent phase of social isolation or family misunderstandings between loved ones now needs to end — carefully explain your social motives and all will be well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Message: Sweet invitations.

Gentle romantic overtures will provide a unique distraction during the next seven days. Minor comments or quick social blunders may all be key signs of affection or new attraction. Go slowly, however, and carefully consider the private feelings or needs of loved ones. After midweek, friendly encounters with new colleagues may become strained. Power struggles and unexpected group tensions are now unavoidable; refuse to be drawn into negative workplace dynamics.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Image: Late in the game, a sudden goal and a cheering crowd.

Message: Evening the score.

Ongoing financial or business disputes will be quickly resolved this week. After Tuesday, expect teachers, mentors or older officials to ensure honest negotiations and equal divisions of resources. Wednesday through Saturday, messages from past friends or lovers may be unnerving. If possible, avoid lengthy social discussions. Complicated romantic expectations or rare disagreements between longtime friends will soon create tension. Don’t be confrontational.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Image: Fine granules of silt in a glacial stream.

Message: Hidden emotion.

Late Monday, an unexpected social invitation may be misleading. Expect close friends or relatives to propose unique group events, rare reunions or large family gatherings. Private agendas will also be involved. Remain cheerful but avoid short-term promises or verbal agreements. After Thursday, loved ones will reveal a powerful need to expand their social lives or daily activities. Take all comments seriously. Deep feelings of isolation may now need to be addressed.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Image: At the curling rink, a stone sliding along the ice.

Message: Rocky progress.

Career aspirations and complex employment negotiations may be the source of intense family discussion during the next seven days. Long-term goals will need to be adjusted. Expect loved ones to provide valuable advice or a rare perspective on new financial proposals. After midweek a stalled relationship may become unusually passionate. Past lovers or rekindled attractions are accented. Respond honestly and remain cautious: social complications will soon emerge.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Image: Two fat lovebirds in a tiny wooden cage.

Message: Shared experiences.

Last minute social gatherings may this week bring a unique attraction into your life. Romantic giddiness, lighthearted banter and common life goals are all highlighted. Many Sagittarians will dramatically change their private lives during the next five months. If so, expect marital status, family celebrations and sudden romantic proposals to be an ongoing theme. After midweek, closely study financial contracts or new property proposals. Detailed definitions may soon be needed.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Image: Outside a busy library, an encyclopedia salesman.

Message: Expecting success.

Home-operated businesses or private work agreements may soon bring a secondary income source into your life. Creative career expansion should now be a top priority. During the next seven days, discuss new plans with loved ones and ask for ongoing emotional support. Later this week, romantic and social invitations will dramatically increase. Group events, home entertaining and unique hobbies are accented. Find time to experience new activities: you won’t be disappointed.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Image: At daybreak, crystal wind chimes in the breeze.

Message: Hearing the inner voice.

Physical vitality may be temporarily low over the next few days. Before Thursday minor aches, pains or irritations concerning the upper lungs, throat or sinuses may require attention. Don’t delay: pampering the body will this week help dispel private anxieties and ongoing social fears. Friday through Sunday, share new plans and fresh ideas with loved ones. Group events will soon bring added excitement. Expect close friends or relatives to leave painful memories in the past.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Image: Near the bottom of a murky lake, swarming fish.

Message: Flashes of wisdom

Sudden intuitions and first impressions will be accurate over the next few days. Romantic triangles, complex power struggles or ongoing group disputes may now be revealed to be privately motivated. After Wednesday someone close may provide unique social information. Trust your instincts and carefully consider the past actions of a friend or work mate. After midweek, enjoy quiet moments with loved ones. Your continued affection and loyalty is needed.
