We may, or may not, be able to make dreams come true just by believing that, somehow, they can. One thing is for sure, though, if we don't believe, we make it far less likely. This weekend, a New Moon invites you to take a fresh look at an old idea. You have been doubtful and dubious for quite some while about whether a notion is truly feasible. Do you want it to be possible? Or are you just looking for an excuse? An easy reason to drop the whole thing? First, be clear. Then, you will be successful.
You discover that your personal or career path may veer off in a slightly different direction, much to your pleasure. Instead of doing the predictable, canned thing, you have options - maybe double digit ones! So keep on doing whatever you're doing because it's working. Friday asks you to be flexible instead of glued to the past or previous strategies and goals. Let loose and go after something interesting and challenging. You may seek a little privacy and space away from crowds during the afternoon so that you can get your thoughts organized and work on something requiring massive concentration. Saturday's New Moon falls in Virgo, your career and reputation sector. This suggests that you can anticipate a working weekend. Even when you're at parties or allegedly taking it easy, opportunities knock. Get used to seamlessly blending business and social activities. It makes the whole process painless and very effective. Saturday should be a very productive day. Sunday may seem slightly annoying. Lots of interruptions, calls and 'emergencies' (that really aren't) occur. Whatever you'd planned to do may need to be put on hold unless you patrol your boundaries. If you're not protective of your time and privacy, you can't expect others to be.
It's unlike you to keep important information to yourself. However, you knew others would be so distracted by certain facts that they'd never pay attention to far more pressing situations. Now, that the arrangements in question are more settled, tell them. They've a right to know. Wait any longer and they'll be seriously upset.
シェリー Daily stars for today 30 August 2008 The changes you're contemplating aren't just about rearranging plans, they're about looking at the structure of your life from a completely different angle. While you've already invested considerable effort in organising things, which means these changes would cause a great deal of confusion, it's worth it. These resulting improvements would justify a little chaos.
ケイナー Saturday Special: War is a bad thing. But what about conflict? Though we all ought to be able to live in peace and harmony. Can you imagine what a dull world this would be if we all agreed? Annoyance can be appropriate under some circumstances. Even aggression, in some ways and at some times, can be justifiable. Sometimes we need to get angry with one another. Sometimes, we need to clear the air. Sometimes, the only way to stay sane is to get mad. Mars, as it now forms a sharp alignment to Jupiter, is making you snappy. Don't apologise too hastily for this. A battle needs to be fought and won. Do it as nicely as you can, but don't back down too far.
There are hints of change. However, you're on the edge of a fantastic period of personal growth and opportunity. But, first, certain things must go. Trust that what's on its way out is clearing the way for the remarkable developments that begin within only a week or so. Your faith will soon be rewarded.
Obviously you’ll want not to take advantage of the stunning developments that come your way over the next two weeks. However, these events are only the second in a series of superb aspects involving your ruler Jupiter and the driven Saturn ? the last of which is in late November ? which means you should indicate your interest, but keep your options open. These either advance ideas or offers from the first round of opportunities in January, and enable you to take things to next stage. Think how much you, personally, have learned since then, and you’ll know why you want to keep things loose.
The trouble with wearing a suit of armour is that it makes you vulnerable to magnetic forces. You can become pulled far too easily, and then find yourself attached, seemingly inextricably, to things that you really ought to be free from. Cynicism is your enemy, not your protector now. If there's anger, bitterness, resentment or fear in your heart, it may cause you to misdirect the planetary power at your disposal. First strive for wisdom, perspective and clarity. Only then commit to a course of action.
You'll feel the full weight of career responsibility, but give yourself a pat on the back: September 3.
Watch September 11, when a friend will touch you with an incredibly sweet gesture. The moon will cooperate too, by being in Aquarius, a loving place for you.
Also on September 11, Venus and Mars will be together and set off 100,000 watts of light. It's a wow of a night for meeting someone new and very intriguing.
At month's end, September 29, the new moon in your friendship house should kick your social life into high gear. With Mars, Mercury, the Sun, and new moon there, you're poised to meet many new people. If you've considered joining a charity or a new club, this would be the week to send your application.
Best romantic evenings: September 4, 6-7, 11, 17, 19, 21, 24-25, and 29-30.
Take care of a very urgent home or family matter: September 12 and September 15 (+ or ? four days).
Make new friends, join clubs: September 29 (+ two weeks).
See old friends when Mercury retrogrades: September 24-October 15.
You're so determined and hard on yourself early this morning. Oh, please - you're fine and you haven't let anyone down - so stop standing in the corner and punishing yourself. Not too many people know how hard you can be on yourself, particularly when it comes to promises or obligations. You'd rather die than disappoint another. Happily, you don't disappoint anyone today, so enjoy the day any way you can. If you love working in the garden, do it. If you love shopping, that's a no-brainer - do it! If you get a kick out of spending time with your favorite friends and loved ones, by all means, do it. Today should turn out to be much better than you'd anticipated.
Because the recent New Moon accented potential changes in your career or lifestyle, you're probably beginning the week with more questions than answers. Don't be in a hurry to get things settled. What seems your best option now could be exceeded, and dramatically, by the remarkable developments and opportunities of the coming two weeks.
Decisions about your work or lifestyle made during September’s first two weeks will shape your life for a long time to come. While some are forced by practical obligations, others involve brilliant, if unexpected, opportunities. Saying yes to everything may seem unwise, but it gives you a chance to explore further. Then when some arrangements fall apart and you decide against others, you’re sure you’ve missed nothing. And let others take the lead. They’re better informed than you and also have your best interests at heart.
We worry so much about saving money, yet pay scant regard for the need to save time. We undervalue our own importance. We put ourselves through unnecessary experiences. Or treat ourselves to luxuries and then feel guilty about the indulgence. We are, though, entitled to comfort and we are also entitled to a life of meaning. The planets are now showing you your priorities. You are being offered the chance to get something you really deserve. First, though, you have to overcome the fear that somehow you are not worthy of this. Be strong in September and you will be successful.
When we feel that we are being threatened or criticised, we close up. We become emotionally distant and detached. We think only about the people and situations that we are instinctively at home with and try to give as little time or energy as possible to the sources of stress. If we have to deal with factors that make us tense, we do our best to be brusque and businesslike. All that's fine apart from one thing. You have marked down, as an enemy now, something or someone that is really your friend. Look again.
Your financial goals may seem slightly out of reach, at least this morning. A delay or inconvenience may hold things up and create a certain amount of consternation - but there's nothing you can do about it. These worrisome thoughts are replaced by more interesting ones this afternoon. Creativity and a powerful urge to communicate something in a very specific way take over. It feels as if you're riding a big wave. You feel awestruck and acutely focused. It's a full convergence of body, mind and spirit. People that don't engage in highly charged creative activities sadly miss out on this kind of peak experience. It's kind of a brain orgasm.
Having put up with more than your fair share of obstacles and unreasonable arguments over the past week or so, you're probably not feeling particularly optimistic about the future. However, judging by the inspiring planetary activity involving your ruler Jupiter over the coming two weeks, brilliant, if entirely unexpected, events could make up for lost time.
You have a lot of extra work and responsibility this month. Not surprisingly, you actually enjoy a good portion of it. At times, you worry whether you can keep up the pace. Hey, Sagittarius: You're conscientious, not incompetent, so stop worrying. Your ruling planet Jupiter goes direct on the 8th - a very good omen, particularly in your earned income sector. On the same day, Pluto goes direct in the final degrees of your sign, giving you the extra oomph necessary to finish an ambitious set of tasks. You're able to accomplish more in the first half of the month than most people are in three or four months. And it's not about having all the advantages, either; it's about persevering. The good news is that none of your effort is a waste of time - it all culminates a little later this fall in something very rewarding, and probably surprising. A Full Moon on the 15th emphasizes the importance of wrapping up a process, venture or relationship without sacrificing quality. The time factor is a big consideration - everyone involved is aware of this. Things look very promising on the 17th and 19th. You're receptive and willing to take direction from an admirable, skillful advisor. One obstacle may emerge on the 20th that creates a little more stress on a chosen deadline, but you'll be able to compromise and work things out. For the most part, you receive amazing amounts of cooperation and support throughout the month. You and your team work brilliantly together, forging a glittery route to a new version of nirvana. Things change from the inside out this month. Your expectations are retooled. Some of you may have allowed lesser things to distract and absorb your time and energy, but this month reorganizes priorities in a more cohesive, effective way. Something you've worked hard on and attempted in the past is likely to finally gel into an impressive piece of work.
続き Just plan on making a few more sacrifices this month and next - it'll all pay off handsomely. One deadline you and others face is Mercury's retro phase, beginning September 24th and ending on October 15. Because quixotic Mercury continues its 'storm period' until October 20th, you have five extra days to plan, think, study and negotiate before a firm decision is made. At any rate, you sense that time is a factor - and you're exactly right. Just do your part - it appears you've aligned yourself with an energetic (even prophetic!) team that is exactly what you want and need. Face to face contact may be more useful and persuasive than email or conference calls late this month. In fact, a trip could reenergize someone's tired brain (maybe yours?) and should remain an option.
Love Meter reading: 8 You're very determined to bring others along so that they can enjoy the opportunities being presented to you. You've never been stingy or had the instinct to hoard, and really enjoy spreading the love. This week highlights your determination to assist others any way you can. Each time someone gives you a hand-up, you automatically reach out and pull up another pal or loved one.
Career Meter reading: 9 You're so busy this week that you can barely see straight. Seriously, the more close work you have to do, the blurrier your vision gets. Make sure you've got the right lighting, and if you need glasses or contacts, now is the time to go for it. Great news lands in your lap on Thursday. Something you've really pushed for now appears to be in the bag. You earned it! Take a bow.
Just because someone is not behaving well, you cannot assume that they have a deliberate wrecking agenda. There's hurt and upset somewhere in your world. You are receiving mixed messages from a person who rightly or wrongly feels that you are in a position to help them heal. Try. If this is not going to work - or if it is only going to happen by putting you at risk, you will soon know. But you may just be blessed with an amazing opportunity to act as a peacemaker and a healer of wounds.
Opportunity is in the air, but as you're about to discover, not everybody recognises it as such. In fact certain individuals with whom you'll be involved in taking things to the next stage seem determined to find fault. Let them. The problems they spot and deal with only make life easier for you.
For September 3: You get lots of support and enthusiasm from friends and colleagues today. More than ever, they view you as the best possible choice for a position or relationship. You have more people for you than against you - especially now. Later this afternoon, you're privy to some intriguing background information about someone you may have to deal with in the near future. Some of this info is damning. How you use this info will reveal a lot about your character. Chances are, you'll listen but not make it public. You don't need to undermine a person that is doing a pretty good job of it without any assistance from you. Eventually, balance and time take care of everything. You've seen that again and again. This is your chance to sit back, remain silent about something that could really hurt another, and deliberately take the high road. That's the responsible and right thing to do.
Tempting as it is to plunge into the intriguing opportunities that are currently coming your way, you'd best take it slowly. Try to heed the canny Saturn's warning to check out the practical end of things, and the problems you spot and deal with now could mean you avoid more serious obstacles later in the game.
cainer's Some things are worth taking a risk for. How much of a risk? That's not for me to say. Powerful temptations present themselves now. Not all temptations are bad. It maybe very appropriate for you to push at the limits of your luck over the next few days - as long as you have a good enough reason for doing so. Good reason? Bad reason? Don't ask me to tell you the difference. That's something you have to decide for yourself. But if you are comfortable in your conscience all will be well.
elle For September 4: A good omen arrives today, blessing your career status and hope for the future. You get some sort of bounce from a previous project or collaboration that motivates you to try even harder on a current endeavor. You anticipate others' questions and concerns before they're even mentioned, further bolstering your image as someone's ideal partner, pal or hero. Just comparing your work to that of another who claims to be in your league should quickly answer any and all questions.
Advice is easy to give and hard to take. Even when we can see the logic of a plan of action that has been suggested to us, we still have to fight the urge to do it 'our way'. That's not necessarily so terrible. If we all just complied with the expectations that others had of us - and followed to the letter the orders we were given, we'd be a pretty dull bunch. Still, though, this weekend, you will do best if you adhere to a 'prescription' that you have been given.
New ideas have you buzzing with excitement. So when others expressed concern, you ignored them, mostly because you thought they were being both unimaginative and paranoid. Now that their worries have been proven correct, hopefully you'll respect their suggestions about what needs to be discussed or checked out before you take plans to the next stage.
Saturday Special: There's an old comedy routine about a table with a wobbly leg. The owner tries to make it level by chopping it down a bit but in the process one of the other legs becomes too short. So it goes on till eventually there are no legs left and the table top is just sitting on the floor. Now, er... why do you think I might be mentioning this to you? For some while, you have been involved in a complex process of careful compromise and counter-compensation. You've either been robbing Peter to pay Paul or juggling emotional responsibilities. You can't carry on much longer like this. The good news is, you don't have to. Stability is on its way.
Weekend Update: Friday morning is jam-packed with ambition and good intentions. You mean to make progress and chisel away at unfinished business, but midday brings numerous interruptions and developments that drag you in several different directions. Luckily, you're able to play catch-up during Saturday. What didn't get done on Friday should be completed before the end of Saturday. You feel kind of jubilant later Saturday and are more in the mood to gab about your ideas and impressions of others. Sunday leaves little time to relax. Others seem to need attention and response from you and apparently won't take no for an answer. Even the silent treatment (your default response) doesn't work. You might have to lay down the law and essentially tell someone to go to hell. Just make it clear that you're done and don't want any more nonsense from him or her. That should do it - even for the most obtuse and socially challenged.
Tempting as it is to insist that you can and will undertake plans on your own, if you're to succeed in what you have in mind, you'll need the support of others. Equally, don't misinterpret the questions certain individuals are asking as lack of interest. They just like to get their facts straight before they commit.
The events of the next few days could lead to some of the year's most memorable developments, although it may not seem so now, as you're ] contending with so many differences and disputes. Time-consuming and frustrating as these are, remain optimistic. Even these can't undermine the life-changing ideas or offers also coming your way.
A drama you've been wrestling with lately is coming to a conclusive close. You are a person of great merit and of special talent. These are all points which, of late, you have been prone to overlook. The pressure may continue to put you in a tense, self doubting mood for a day or two, but soon enough you'll see a big demonstration of affection and support. Oddly, this may somehow coincide with a separation from something you once felt keen to cling to. Yet ultimately, that will be liberating not debilitating.
Your weekly stars for the week starting 07 September 2008 You致e already considered the opportunities triggered by last week痴 aspect to your ruler Jupiter, which could radically improve both your position and finances. Monday痴 aspect by Jupiter to Saturn takes things further, and you learn more ・both about what you壇 get and the commitment or obligations involved.

Simply regard the questions you池e wrestling with as a test, not of your commitment, but of your vision, and you値l easily rise to the challenge.
shelley Of the twelve signs you're among those most likely to benefit from your ruler Jupiter's powerful aspect to the practical Saturn. However, because events accent what you must do over what you'd merely enjoy, developments could seem heavy-handed or unfair. Still, when you view them in retrospect, you'll realise they were nothing less than golden opportunities.
elle For September 8: You get double happiness starting today with Jupiter (your ruling planet) and Pluto (currently in your sign) moving direct. Translation: It's all systems GO! You've dogpaddled like an obedient Labrador, but enough, already! All the pieces are placed perfectly in exact order. The time has come to take the big gulp and launch an idea, project or relationship. Today is your 'just say YES!' moment. No hesitation, no buts, and absolutely no excuses. Move into the future. And fyi: It's a pretty amazing one.
You are not a great believer in doing things by the book. The book was written a long time ago by someone you never met. You do, though, believe in reaching for the highest. You strive to be moral, ethical, honest and fair. Sometimes, it seems the result of this integrity is complication. Things that ought to be simple prove tiresome and long-winded because you feel unable to take the same questionable shortcuts that others help themselves to. Now, though, you are about to reap the benefit of behaving so well. あなたは物事を予定どおりにすることがとても良いことだと思っているわけではありません。 その予定は貴方が会ったこともない人がずっと前に書いたものです。 貴方が信じていることは高いところへ到達することです。 貴方は、道義的で、倫理的で公平であろうと努力してきました。時にはこの潔癖症のせいで物事が複雑になるようにみえます。 簡単であるべきことが、大事で長々と続くようにみえるのは、他の人が採用する疑問の多い近道を通れないと思うからです。 しかし、今、貴方は近道しなかったことの利益を獲得しようとしています
Daily stars for today 09 September 2008 Tempting as it is to cut short discussions that you know aren't going to achieve a thing, you're better off enduring them. The ideas that the individuals in question are proposing may not be worthwhile, but it's still essential they feel you've listened and are giving them thought. That alone will make them happy.
For September 9: You may be asked to compromise in a financial matter today. It's worth doing, and you'll still come out ahead. Don't be stubborn or allow ancient history to darken your judgment. The point is to do what is best and right for the big picture, not just a short-term gain. Your afternoon is productive and positive. Your evening is touch and go. A friend or loved one may not interpret your comments as they were intended and assume the worst. There's nothing dumber than an unnecessary argument based on erroneous information. Clean up your communication and make sure that everyone involved understands each other. That alone can stop a really pointless argument from happening.
A change maybe as good as a rest, but is a rest as good as a change? After taking some time away from a stressful situation, there is nothing worse than returning to find things just as they were. You don't need time out or time off now. You need time spent right in the midst of a drama, directing the action so that it starts edging towards a more satisfactory outcome. There is something you can do. Or perhaps it is something you can say. Make your contribution. This could yet make all the difference in the world. 変化は停止と同じぐらい良いですが、停滞は変化と同じぐらいよいものですか ストレスの多い状況からしばらく離れたあと、もう一度戻ってみたら物事は全く変わってなかったことを見つけることひどいことはありません。 今のあなたには休みの時間はありません。 貴方はドラマの真ん中で時間を費やし、行動を指揮せねばなりません。それで物事はもっとマシな方向に動き出すでしょう。 貴方に出来ることがあります。あるいは言うことかもしれません。やるべきことをやりましょう。世界は大いに変わるはずです。
For September 10: You hear very good news today that might translate into more money. It may come via phone or email. It could come through the mail, but is more likely to be electronically delivered. Your thoughts literally race like thoroughbreds this morning. Try to record or write ideas down before they escape your memory. Things happen relatively fast, so carry a notepad or recording device with you instead of stubbornly counting on your overstuffed memory bank. A friend or ally presents some really provocative ideas. Each concept is likely to take more of your time and energy, so you won't be able to participate in all of them. You might also have competing offers on the table. Maybe you're selling something or just considering selling something. Even at this early date, you might hear about an interested potential buyer.
Others aren't particularly happy about the changes now under review, but you'd welcome even a dramatic shift in your way of living or working. You'll get it, and probably by early next week, when the Full Moon crosses the part of your chart that accent such matters and accelerates the cycle of change already being discussed.
Love Meter reading: 9 September 8-14: There's almost nothing potent enough to separate you from your dreams. A HUGE burst of power takes you on a fast-paced magic carpet ride, starting this week. There's really no end in sight. Do yourself a favor and think bigger and bolder than ever. Your thoughts set the stage for the energy and people you attract. Think big and attract bodacious people and outrageous fortune. Think small and, well, your thoughts foreshadow the outcome. A power boost timed exactly right finally occurs. You've been waiting for this for over two years - and now it's happening, allegedly by 'coincidence.' The truth is that great timing and hard work created this week's bonus round in a relationship. Look at your friend or loved one and say, "Let's do something we've always dreamt about but never had the chance to do!" And then do it! Weekly touchstones: Rose Quartz, Pink Sapphire.
Career Meter reading: 9 September 8-14: Financially and professionally, you make a nice leap forward this week - and it's only the beginning. A lot of very important, long-range possibilities take root this week. Potential is white hot. Prestige is within your grasp and financial rewards for excellence are galloping your way. Treasured goals that you'd all but given up on a few years ago are now within grabbing distance. You're starting to suspect that the wheel of fortune is finally turning in your favor. That would be an accurate assumption - and it's just getting started! Weekly touchstones: Bloodstone, Green Garnet.
>>276 You’ve already considered the opportunities triggered by last week’s aspect to your ruler Jupiter, which could radically improve both your position and finances. Monday’s aspect by Jupiter to Saturn takes things further, and you learn more ? both about what you’d get and the commitment or obligations involved. If the latter worry you, consider the fact that you’re well into this process of change, and not only can’t back out ? you shouldn’t. Things are moving swiftly anyway. Simply regard the questions you’re wrestling with as a test, not of your commitment, but of your vision, and you’ll easily rise to the challenge.
Cainer's What has gone wrong? How wrong has it gone? The situation that you face now is not, on its own, impossible. The real problem is in an implication, a distinct possibility that something may arise, over which you have no control. As long as that doesn't happen, all will be fine. All may even be fine even if it does. Now, though, you have something to worry about and it is hard for you to ignore this. So don't ignore it. Pay heed to whatever lesson you clearly need to learn. Still, though, you don't have to worry.
Elle For September 11: How you articulate your expectations and goals has a lot to do with whether or not you get what you want - and when you're likely to get it. Be clear without being aggressive today. Allow your sincerity to trump any hint of neediness or insistence. Others respond positively to a genuine request for assistance, rather than a demand. Surprises affecting close friends or relatives may occur, causing a change in plans. This may speed up or delay an event, trip or important talk. There might be some squabbling over money, spending and budgeting, but nothing permanent. You may not agree, but do understand another's concerns, and refuse to hold a grudge.
Shelley You don't mind standing up for yourself in a disagreement. However, few things bore you more than the simmering resentments that certain individuals have been nurturing since late August. Absurd as it seems, even though you're not at fault you're better off apologising. By doing this, you eliminate others' last excuse for not putting these to rest.
To some extent, we are all consumers and manufacturers. We make some things for others, and there are some things that others make for us. It all sounds jolly fair. But some folk, it seems, have a lot of undesirable by-products. They create more negativity than they realise, or cause more trouble than they intend. What are you making too much of at the moment? And what are you being given more of than you can cope with? A few small adjustments could make a big difference, this weekend.
Weekend Update: You express things just right on Friday. You're able to entertain, educate and wake others up from the fog they've stumbled in. You don't have to raise your voice or shake people into awareness. You sense what their priorities are and speak to those intensely special, often emotional, interests. You're a great speaker and communicator throughout the weekend. You might have a slip of the tongue later Friday evening, probably when you're relaxed or assume that you're out of earshot of eavesdroppers. (It's wise to assume that everything you say is being noted or recorded.) Saturday is superb for focusing more attention on the health, happiness and welfare of a family member or lose friend. You go out of your way to be of assistance. You can't imagine how happy and grateful you're making another. Sunday is relaxed, mostly because you decide ahead of time to live in the moment and take each event in stride. Because you're visibly relaxed, others feel at home and very comfortable with you. It turns out to be a great day.
Cainer's The risk is not that you will fail to get what you seek. It is that you will get it - only to realise you should have been seeking something else. Be careful how you phrase your requests to a surprisingly compliant cosmos. Your celestial guardians are intelligent. Their heavenly perspective reveals factors that you cannot yet see. They are forward planning whereas you can only think a few steps into the future. Many recent dramatic developments have been great gifts, even if they don't quite match your idea of what's supposed to be happening. Trust, relax and seek wisdom. With that, you'll make everything else turn out right.
Shelley The time has come to give proper consideration to certain people or projects you were once passionate about. While your excitement has by no means died down, other more profitable activities are taking centre stage. Consequently you really must question the role of these beloved activities in your life, or whether they belong there at all.
Daily stars for today 14 September 2008 There's a fine line between a lively debate about options, many of which you've been having lately, and the more serious disputes that these could easily turn into. While you don't take such verbal fisticuffs that seriously, others do. Which means what's said in the heat of passion could cause lasting damage or emotional wounds.
Daily stars for today 15 September 2008 Thankfully, the events triggered by the current Full Moon will force those who've done all they could to delay changes to take things to the next stage. But don't think this means you can hurry the pace. There are a few surprises yet to come. Make your plans too swiftly and you'll soon regret it
Your weekly stars for the week starting 14 September 2008 For some months you’ve been exploring ways you could reorganise your way of living, working ? and loving. Over the coming two weeks you get your wish, although not perhaps in the manner you’d have anticipated. Sudden and dramatic as changes are, they’re actually only a reflection of those taking place around you, which is encouraging. Ordinarily you’d swiftly begin seeking ways to make the best of these. Don’t. There’s more to come. Focus on exploring any avenues of activity you’re unfamiliar with, and when it’s decision time ? which may not be until November ? you’ll be prepared to move swiftly and wisely.
For September 15: You need to voice your opinions and take a strong leadership role during today's Full Moon. You can't sit back and silently wait for others to run with the ball. You run with it. Your enthusiasm and dedication may help spark another's interest. Anticipate a number of interruptions close to home today. You may feel that you've got too many things going on at once - and you probably do. Regain control of your space, life and schedule by prioritizing. Figure out your top goal, second goal and so on. Don't try to juggle several complex tasks simultaneously, because mistakes are inevitable if you do. Also, make a point to get some healthy exercise today, even if it's only for 20 minutes. It's not just good for your body; it's incredibly beneficial for your mind.
For September 16: A gamble or 'no guarantees' venture may be far from a sure thing, but is likely to be a darkhorse winner. Just remain patient and steady. Give a developing situation all the time it requires to meet projections and expectations. Don't bet everything on this just yet. There's still a little waiting period to slog through. If you're willing, however, you can come out on the winning side - a longshot in an improbable race. And you know what payoffs are for longshots, so be smart, keep the faith and keep going.
You're able to view changes, as sudden as they are disruptive, in a constructive light, but they're causing others serious concern. Keep this in mind, and consequently, before you can even think of talking about plans for the future, you'll need to help them acquire a far more positive perspective on what's taking place.
We live on a tiny ball of rock that is hurtling through space at 1,000 miles per second, spinning wildly on its axis as it goes. No wonder we feel so dizzy so much of the time. Everything keeps changing. Nothing stands still. Or, if situations do remain the same for any length of time, they become stuck in unsatisfactory modes. And when they finally alter? Often they appear to have altered too much. Can there ever be any sense, stability, comfort, safety and security? There can. As you will soon see. Let me tell you more. Much more.
Tuesday, 16th September 2008 Sometimes, we put our names down on waiting lists and they take so long to come through that, by the time our turn has come up, we have left the building... or changed our mind about what we wanted. Is there some kind of request that you made from the cosmos a while back? Have you yet to officially cancel that order, even though you no longer particularly want it to be fulfilled? This week, the cosmos is due to honour some of your needs and wishes. Make sure you're working with a clean sheet!
For September 17: You listen to suggestions about how to improve a project or relationship. You agree with some suggestions but may strongly disagree with others. Speak up. Your views matter, too. This, after all, is a discussion or negotiation, not a roll-over-and-play-dead contest. Your emotions drive you today, so you may take certain actions or comments far more personally than they were intended. If you pause and detach a little, you'll stop reacting and feel less defensive. The people that you assume are critiquing you are actually trying to bring out the best in you and for you. Try to look at conversations as positive building blocks today.
Good things come to those who wait. But they also come to those who aren't willing to wait. And sometimes, those who wait too long for good things get things that once might have been good but now are no longer worth waiting for. So we can't be completely sure that deferred gratification is preferable to the instant kind. You wait for things only if you have to. Some while back, though, you had to. You couldn't get what you wanted when you wanted it. You can have it now... or soon. But is it still appropriate?
There's a difference between believing in yourself and what you're planning, which you do, and facing up to practical problems. Not only are you ignoring them, your refusal to acknowledge these is causing tension with exactly the individuals whose support is essential to making any kind of progress. The sooner you address these issues, the better.
ケイナー9/18 Maybe somewhere in heaven, a celestial scribe notes all the requests and wishes that the people of this earth ever make to the cosmos. This angel of the astral archives has a sophisticated database. Whenever two compatible needs arise, they are matched and strings pulled to ensure the right coincidences ensue. But what if, in the interim, new requests have been filed? Or if two people both want something that would be bad for them? An old wish is being granted now. Don't accept it for sentimental reasons! おそらく、天国のどこには祝福されたノートがあり、地球の人々が祈った願いが全て書かれているのでしょう。 この天使のノートは洗練さえたデータベースです。 二つの矛盾する願いが書かれると、願いは照合され、正しい結果が起こるように訂正されます。 しかし、もし正しい結果が起こるように訂正されたあと新しい願いをしてしまったら・・・または、2人の人が彼らに悪いことを願っていたら・・・ 古い願いがかないます。でもセンチメンタルな理由でそれを受け入れたりしないでください。
For September 18: Good news arrives in a financial matter. This isn't a Vegas or lottery ticket moment; this is the result of hard work and dogged determination - and not just on your part. This involves teamwork. The sprinkling of good news you receive later today is just the beginning of a long, committed process - one that you'll enjoy and reap rewards from. Although you've learned to take things slowly and not get too manic or spastically enthusiastic, it might be tough during the next couple days to be cool and calm. Good things are brewing. It's okay to enjoy them. You'll be working your arse off even more than usual, so you're entitled to a bit of fun!
You've been sidestepping issues involving loved ones because you genuinely don't understand why they're upset. The problem is, they don't either. That being the case, continue to avoid serious discussions, instead giving them all the emotional support you can. Eventually this will shift the balance, and they'll realise things aren't really as grim as they think.
Ancient traditions speak of the 'Akashic records' where all deeds ever done from the dawn to the end of time are faithfully recorded. Once, such a notion might have conjured up an image of angelic scribes with quill pens flowing over infinite rolls of parchment. Now, we see a kind of giant memory stick in the USB port of the cosmic computer. Either way, there's currently a conflict between they way things once were and how you feel they need to turn out next. Respect history this weekend. But don't be bound by it. アカシックレコードについて昔の人は語りました。これは何かというと過去から未来まで全てのことが書かれているといわれてます。 かつて、そのようなアイデアは、天使の羽ペンや無限の羊皮紙といったもので連想されていましたが、 今は銀河コンピューターのUSBポートに刺さったメモリースティックといったところでしょうか。どっちにしろ 今、かつてそうだった物と これからどうなるべきかについての衝突があります。今週は歴史を尊重してください。でもそれにとらわれてはなりません。
Weekend Update: Friday morning is teeming with excitement and anticipation - with good reason. There's something brewing that's got your full attention - and it appears to be something you really enjoy and are passionate about. For a number of you, this is a project that reflects one of your many interests. For others, it's a superheated, almost combustible love connection. And for a few of you, this is a brand spanking new enterprise that appears to have good fortune on its side. Throughout the day, you almost feel as if you're watching a split screen. You do your normal routines, but also keep a close eye on a developing situation. Before the end of the day, someone may consider partnering with you. You may not hear about this until early next week, but your ears are burning in anticipation throughout the weekend. Imaginative by nature, you allow your thoughts to wander during the evening. This opens your mind to viable suggestions and improvements to discuss next week. Saturday morning and afternoon are pretty routine. The evening, however, strongly urges you to slow down, take it easy and not defy authority, no matter how idiotic the person in authority is. Keep your mouth shut and stay out of trouble. You can handle this assignment. Sunday morning is slightly edgy and impatient. You'll feel better by exercising, even if you don't want to. A little healthy exercise will make the rest of your day fly by and be far more enjoyable. By the end of the day, you feel much closer to the realization of a dream 金曜の朝は興奮と心配であふれています。よい理由で。何か貴方の意識をひきつけるものが熟成されていて、貴方が本当に楽しみ、情熱的でいられるものになりそうです。 射手座の何人かにとって、これは貴方の興味を反映したプロジェクトになりそうです。残りの人にとっては、燃え上がる、とても熱い愛の繋がりになりそうです。 何人かにとっては、全く新しい幸運に満ちた冒険の始まりになるかもしれません
It's rare you struggle with the self doubts that so often plague others. However, it's these feelings of being unsure of your capacity to deal with certain challenging situations or tricky individuals that have kept you from taking things to the next stage. The remedy? Plunging in and doing something. And the sooner, the better.
jonathan Is your wand wilting? Is your cauldron cooling? You are beginning to wonder whether you have used up all your magical powers. Have you pushed your luck too far? Has it now decided to push off and leave you to face the consequences of your own rash attitude. Your fears are understandable but they are misplaced. There is still a spell that you can cast, but you just have to wait until the moment is right. This week, that moment will come. In a split second, you will know what to do. In a twinkle of an eye you will seize your opportunity. You won't even have to say a special word or perform a particular ritual. You will just have to keep your wits about you and all will go well.
shelley Nobody would blame you for thinking that the demands of one particular individual or, alternatively, the regulations you're facing, are just plain unfair. They are frustrating. However, they're also safeguarding you from doing something you'd regret. Begin asking some serious questions and your irritation at being prevented from taking things further will turn to gratitude.
Love Meter reading: 8 September 15-21: Your private life is impacted by developments in your career this week. News or changes may develop that give you more authority or prestige. When you feel better about yourself, everything about you improves - even the way you feel physically. As your stock begins to rise, so does your self-esteem and attractiveness to others. Old friends or new ones are particularly attentive this week. Don't hesitate to make important choices. You're on the right path and have incredible judgment - trust it. Weekly touchstones: Pink Sapphire, Turquoise.
Career Meter reading: 9 September 15-21: Follow your gut feelings. If you sense that an alliance is problematic, don't pursue it. If you believe strongly in an alliance, project or partnership, go full throttle. Your decisions and judgment carry a lot of weight this week. Others may bump their heads against walls and feel stuck until you come along and restart their inherent survival skills. Sudden shifts blow in with hurricane strength and make change far more necessary (and appealing) than the same old 'follow the leader' game. Surprise others with your power, vision and honesty. Because honesty has become such a rare gem, you're likely to command a room by being utterly forthright. As an added benefit, you gain additional respect and loyalty. Weekly touchstones: Green Tourmaline, Ruby.
Daily stars for today 21 September 2008 Everybody is telling you to plan ahead, but you always find something else to do. Actually, this is your instinct telling you that because next week Mercury begins one of its three-week-long retrograde cycles, plans are bound to change, and frequently. Consequently, you're better off keeping even seemingly simple arrangements loose.
Your weekly stars for the week starting 21 September 2008 Ordinarily you simply wouldn’t agree to ideas or arrangements that you both think unwise and regard as a personal affront. However, there’s little point in arguing. With Mercury retrograde from Wednesday until mid-October, and bringing its usual confusion, you’re bound to go through several versions of plans anyway, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to state your case. As important will be the more subtle issues exposed by these unexpected twists, some of which will challenge your thinking and, perhaps, your values. Knowing this is coming, be prepared to ask some serious questions - but also be prepared to answer a good few.
The morning could be tense as the Sun (ego) clashes with Pluto (power). If you've got a tricky subject you need to deal with today, your best bet by far is to wait until the afternoon when we should all be feeling a lot less intractable. The good news is that the Moon is in chatty Gemini so even if there are issues which are hard to talk about on the table, the lunar flavour is at least supporting us on trying to get out message across without biting anyone's head off or having our nibbled!
After your roller-coaster ride through the last few weeks, you feel ready for just about anything. Things, in your view, can easily get a whole lot better or a whole lot worse. You figure there is little point in trying to predict which it will be, for whichever it is, the other extreme will only be one sudden swing away. Actually, though, the past is often a very unreliable guide to the future. Today's immutable pattern can easily become tomorrow's broken precedent. Chaos is about to give way to calm; uncertainty to security. As the planetary picture changes now, you can only benefit. While you digest this prediction, here's something else to consider. A full personal chart reading could greatly empower you - and change your life. Don't miss out.
Friendships and shared goals pull you and others closer. A common cause can further unify a solid-as-a-rock connection. From Wednesday onward, Mercury goes retro, suggesting that more research, alternative views and tactics are necessary to make a situation bulletproof. Stay on it. You've got the right idea. Pursue it with everything you've got. Just remember that Mercury retro will demand careful attention to detail - and patience. Weekly touchstones: Smoky Quartz, Pietersite.
仕事 Goals look strong and attainable on Monday and Tuesday. Starting on Wednesday all the way through October 20th, they're still strong, but may require careful tweaking, discussion and compromise. Do whatever is right and necessary to achieve an important goal. You may be asked to promise additional effort or support for more projects, contributions or future campaigns into order to forge an agreement. Just say yes. Weekly touchstones: Black Spinel, Carnelian.
Jonathan 'When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.' So said the great philosopher, Lao Tzu. For all that may seem less than desirable now, one factor is perfect. It involves your urge to get to the very heart of a difficult matter. No matter what it takes, you want to find out what has really made a situation the way it is. Your quest for enlightenment will lead, eventually, to great contentment. But first, an idea about how things 'ought to be' has to be replaced by a willingness to discover.
elle A new rush of hope and opportunity develops today and tomorrow. You feel very heartened by others' responses and suggestions. You and a friend or partner put your heads together and work out a winning game plan. It appears that a group or individual is interested in learning more about your ideas. You may be asked to respond personally in some way to an interested party's query. Do whatever you can to encourage progress right here, right now. You personally will make big strides. Your energy is likely to be a source of inspiration for others. Group endeavors fare very well, largely because you're working with an exceptional group. It's amazing what can be accomplished when everyone cooperates.
Shelley After a period during which you've had to defend your position from every angle, suddenly the mood changes. Not only is it better, those who only recently wouldn't, or couldn't, give you a hand can now be there for you. Take advantage of this by reviewing certain arrangements in which their support would be helpful.
'A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.' So said Lao Tzu, otherwise known as Laotze, also known as Er. Er, really. Er was his name. If he existed at all, that is. Which some scholars of ancient Chinese culture debate. But, then, some scholars will debate anything. Anyway, your forecast. Re-read that quote and take it to heart please. The step you take today will take you a long way indeed. This is a journey that leads from depression to elation. And from oppression to liberation.
Few things annoy you more than those who are petty or who think cheating others out of what they're due is a victory. While you can't change their character, you can make up for their selfish behaviour in certain situations you're currently facing, by making very sure that everybody involved is dealt with fair and square.
Wednesday, 24th September 2008 When you are content to be simply yourself and you don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.' So said Lao Tzu, in China, a few centuries BC. Nobody is sure exactly when he lived, but most experts place him as a contemporary of Confucius. I wonder if they ever got together for a pot of green tea and a friendly contest to see who could come up with the deepest one-liners. Anyway, back to your forecast. Re-read the quote. That's your advice. Take it, trust it and prepare to start living like a legend. もしも、質素でいて、他人と争ったり比べたりしなければ あなたは尊敬を勝ち得るだろう と老子が 紀元前数世紀のころに言ってます。 老子がいつ生きたのかわかっていませんが、大抵の専門家は孔子と老子を対にするようです。 孔子と老子が、緑茶の急須を囲み、深みのある格言をつくろうと親しげに対談してくれていたらなぁとおもいます。 ところで、あなたのことにもどりますが、もう一度最初の分を読んでください。それはあなた用の格言です。 理解し、信用し、伝説のような生き方の準備をしてください
For September 23: You're supercharged to zoom past obstacles and reach your goal. It appears that you will achieve part of your goal, but have to wait until mid to late October before everything is settled. That's okay - you got the feedback you needed and are ready to soar. Venus shimmies into your secretive, imaginative 12th house, intensifying your creativity and desire for more of everything you crave. Later this afternoon, you might have a few misunderstandings or issues in a financial matter, but they're temporary. Don't give them an ounce of power.
For September 24: Mercury slips into retro mode today and remains fairly loose and goofy until October 20th. You'll do fine, provided you clarify your goals. Others may think they know what you want - or what is best for you. Oh, really? Since when has anyone known precisely what is best for you - other than you? Your goals may also shift a few times during Merc's retro phase. You duck and weave and avoid any sort of problem. In fact, you may land in an even better space than you're currently in. Just remain open and fluid in your thoughts and aspirations. Anything is possible now. Your allies are also very tuned in, remarkably responsive and helpful. Life is good for Archers at the moment. It's about time.
Daily stars for today 24 September 2008 Retreat is a sign of weakness, or so you think. However, in several situations you'd be better off backing out, at least for the time being, than confronting the people or issues involved. Instead make it your business to explore your options and you'll discover new and far better ways of dealing with these matters.
Thursday, 25th September 2008 'Conquering others makes you strong; Conquering yourself makes you mighty.' Another quote today, from Lao Tzu who according to legend was conceived when his mother gazed upon a falling star, stayed in the womb for sixty-two years and was born a grown man with a long grey beard. Far fetched? Perhaps not as much as some of the tales that you have lately been telling yourself. All habits can be broken if the practice of self-deceit is bravely challenged. Don't be afraid. You're about to become mighty! 2008/9/25 他の人を支配することはあなたを強くします。自分自身を支配することはあなたを偉大にします。 老子の別の格言です。伝説によれば、彼の母親は流れ星を見た後身ごもり、62年間の妊娠期間のあとに灰色のひげの生えた老人を生んだということです。 馬鹿馬鹿しいですか?でもあなたが最近自分に言い聞かせている話よりはましですよ。 自分につく嘘を変えることができれば、すべてのふるまいを変えることができます。おそれないでください。あなたは偉大になろうとしてるのです
It's unlike you to leave important decisions to others. Hopefully, however, by now you've realised that not only are certain individuals in charge of plans, they're also better informed than you are. Out of character as it is, therefore, leave it to them knowing that if you're truly unhappy with their arrangements, you can reorganise things later.
Friday, 26th September 2008 'At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.' All week, we've been quoting Lao Tzu. His teachings are still quoted by those who seek a spiritual life. Because so little is known about him, though, there's not the same personality cult as there is around other spiritual masters. According to some, Lao Tzu was an astrologer as well as a philosopher. But enough about him. What's at the centre of YOUR being? Reach within. Find it. And let your light shine this weekend. ケイナー 2008/9/26 あなたの心の中に答えはある。あなたは誰であり、何が欲しいのかあなたは知っている。 今週は老子の引用ばかりでした。彼の教えはスピリチュアルな人生をもとめる人にまだ引用されつづけています。 彼のことはほとんどわかっていないので、精神界の偉人たちのなかでも似たものがないカリスマです。 ある本によると、老子は天文学者であり、哲学者であったとか。でも彼についての話は十分ですね。 あなたの中心には何がありますか。この週末にそこへいき、見つけ、あなたを輝かせてください。 老子5日目
For September 25: Your imagination and receptivity converge, helping you pick up on others' thoughts. This really helps you navigate uncharted territory. By tuning into others that do understand the ropes, and taking your cues from them, you seamlessly skate over what might have been a bumpy road. A number of you are privately stewing about a house or domestic issue that has not yet been completed (or in some cases, even started). Every time you walk past a wall that needs help or a garden area that needs work, you feel a twinge of guilt. Maybe you can find a little time to attack a nagging problem during the weekend. The thing to remember is that your preferences are likely to change, right along with your goals, during this Mercury retro phase. So don't make changes you can't undo.
Weekend Update: Friday morning is high energy, especially when it comes to your career and reputation. Good things are cooking and you get a hint of what's to come before the end of the day. Despite a myriad of obligations, meetings, etc., you manage to glue yourself to a favorite hobby or creative activity most of the day. Obviously, you get wonderful results. By late afternoon, something kind of joyous occurs, lifting your spirit. This good vibe carries into Saturday morning. You wake up refreshed and ready to take on the world. Midday requires some concentration and more close work. Because you're working pretty intensely, you may call off evening plans. You're tired and would prefer to relax in the comfort of your own home. Sunday is highly charged with inspiration. It's everywhere - not just in and around you. It's universal. You and others decide to do the right thing instead of the 'me first' thing. This might seem threatening to those heavily invested in scams and downright greed, but really works for everyone else. There might be a war of words midday, but even that doesn't stop you. Sunday appears to be a 'get real' turning point that has a profound effect on most people, worldwide.
Obviously you'd rather know the facts before you make important decisions. But with Mercury retrograde, what seems straightforward won't necessarily be reliable. That shouldn't keep you from taking plans to the next stage. Just keep in mind that both unexpected revelations and minor mistakes could mean you must rearrange everything at the last minute.
