LIBRA (SEPT. 23 – OCT. 22)

Don’t worry ’bout rockin’ the boat and forget about sweatin’ bein’ the scapegoat. Whether it’s paintin’, sculptin’, writin’ or even gardenin’, it’s all the same — the very act of creation means waves materialize from your brain. If your tsunamis upset someone’s sloop, well then that’s their tough poop!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 – NOV. 21)

Those crazy cats in the department of Karma have cooked up this kooky idea they call “You Get What You Give.” Check it out — you want help? Help someone. You want inspiration? Inspire somebody. You want strength? Be somebody’s post to lean on. Do it now before your chance is gone!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 – DEC. 21)

If you’re debatin’ whether to quit hesitatin’ and make your move, well, keep waitin’. Right now the universe ain’t co-operatin’ the least bit, and if you take a step now, odds are it’ll be right in a pile of sheep dip. Cosmic confusion is at a peak, so avoid the turbulence and cool your jets for a week!

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 – JAN. 19)

How does a wise leader get even wiser? By listenin’ to their trusted advisors. Too much tellin’ your crew what to do and you’ll wind up with a mutiny on your bounty, too. This week, if you open your heart and your mind, good ideas are all you’ll find. Put ’em to use and you’ll ensure your ship won’t fall behind!

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 – FEB. 18)

Before you go any further, you better be able to answer these questions: Are you bein’ true to yourself? Are you tryin’ to hurt somebody else? Are you proud of your actions or do you hide ’em in stealth? If you answer in the affirmative to all the above, then do whatever you want, ’cause you’re doin’ it with love!

PISCES (FEB. 19 – MARCH 20)

Life ain’t like chess or most other games, even though the idea of playin’ it’s the same. The difference in life is when somebody wins, someone else don’t have to lose. Winnin’s always there for everyone to choose. This week, if you can forget all about the idea of defeat, you’ve got 90 per cent of the game of life beat!

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

You gotta know when to cut your losses, especially when the universe tosses a live grenade into your tent. Now, you can stand there and wait for it to explode, but if you were smart, you’d hit the road. Quick. Listen when the whole cosmos tells you it’s time to concede or be persistent and continue to bleed!

TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

Things are lookin’ up startin’ this Thursday, and thanks to a sweet twist of fate, sometime around then you’ll get help cleanin’ your slate. Now you’ve got room to write whatever you want. Before the weekend you’ve got Lady Luck on your side, so grab the bull by the horns and ride, baby, ride!

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

One thing that’s hard to understand when you’re so damn good is that other folks wish they could stand where you stood. Then they claim you lack humility when you’re proud of what comes naturally. Well, it’s just jealousy. But beware — that kind of wishin’ can be dangerous in folks with ambition!

CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

Bein’ bored is a part of life, but fightin’ it can cause pocketbook strife. It’s OK to break the monotony with something new, but in the long-term it’s gotta benefit you. Whatever you choose to shake the in-a-rut blues, just make sure that the potential is there for it to increase your economic welfare!

LEO (JULY 23 – AUG. 22)

You’re quickly approachin’ an entirely new stage, where it’s time to let the lion outta the cage. If it hated bein’ domesticated, it’s almost the moment for which it’s waited. Since you got time till the freedom bell rings, start practisin’ lionly things. Y’know, like roarin’, sharpenin’ your claws and bonin’ up on the jungle laws!

VIRGO (AUG. 23 – SEPT. 22)

This weekend the moon’s in your sign so you should take the day to reflect on the divine. Reflect on the friends you’ve made, the bridges you’ve burned and the lessons you’ve learned everyday the world’s turned. You might finally realize all that you have, you’ve earned!
