August 3, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Wear something with Red in it today. You're going to need to feel grounded. You'll be confronted on a past issue today you thought was done and over with. Stand your ground and make your case based on fact, not emotion. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius A chance meeting with an old acquaintance will give you the chance to clear up some old misconceptions. Though it may be uncomfortable at first, you'll get the chance to listen an old burden off your shoulders. This will be a great healing experience for both of you. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Don't be rushing too much today to get to where you're going on time - You'll actually fall further behind. It's better to be 10 minutes late than having to go home and get that important document your forgot.

Wolfie! Finally one I can stomach!!! August 4, 2000 Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) Set your sights on goals that seem almost impossible to achieve. When others think you cannot attain what you say you can, you'll take that as a challenge. Your competitive spirit could drive you forward on a path of great success. Your greatest success will come from travel, exploration of avenues at a distance, or projects that reach out to many people. Set many projects in motion now. Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 20) Although your personal life has been the focus of your attention lately, you'll be ready to shift gears by next week. Now your serious attention will be on financial structures for yourself and for others. You may take on the chore of managing money for someone who is less capable than you are and who needs your expert advice. Be sure you don't let disagreements upset you and disrupt your health. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Luck will be on your side for some time to come. With Jupiter in your sign, you'll find it easy to set new goals and live up to new challenges. Your tremendous enthusiasm could be especially contagious and will draw many people to your side. Focus on new projects in the communications fields. You could pave the way for others and still remain ahead of the competition. Avoid investments for the moment. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Your vulnerability could show itself once more. After some serenity with your home life, someone may say some things that could hurt your feelings. Be sure you don't inadvertently step on the toes of family members. They truly care about you and may be overly concerned about your welfare. If you are not feeling up to par, you may tend to overreact. Deal with financial matters with enthusiasm and resourcefulness. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) You may have to be first in line with group situations, leading the way and showing others the true path. You will have a great response to any adventurous situation, and that could make things very exciting. You have a wonderful sense of yourself and are the center of attention now. Recognize your inner light. That is what will guide people on their path. Forget the glory that is sure to come your way. Avoid the trap of flattery. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) Keep to yourself in order to accomplish what you must. You could raise capital, collect debts, or ask for funding with the knowledge that it will be repaid handsomely. Your sensitivity about the trends of the times will lead to satisfying financial activities. Focus on group situations in which you are the spokesperson and decision-maker. You'll soon have a profound new public image. Libra (Sep. 23 - Oct. 23) Your emotions may lie close to the surface now. Be aware of your vulnerability, and stay away from situations in which you're likely to get hurt. Some public situations will bring new opportunities, but sooner or later you may have to contend with some jealousies. Romance could lead you to exciting new territories. You may explore adventurous situations that have never appealed to you before. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Life is never dull around you. Today is certainly no exception. You could find an exciting new situation at the very base of your life. Listen to your instincts about travel, promotions, and networking. You'll hit the jackpot by associating with people and situations that relate to healing, music, or metaphysical concerns. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Prepare yourself for a surprise or two. Some unexpected conversation may sweep you off into a new direction. Friendships prove to be stimulating and exciting. You may be the one to lead a group into a deeper understanding regarding the communications fields. Your compassion and understanding could be especially healing to family members. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Show your daredevil side and surprise everyone around you. If others have been shortsighted and only see you as the person to shoulder all the responsibilities, they'll have a big surprise today. Go after funding for a project you want to start. You'll bowl people over with your request. Your needs will be granted before anyone has a chance to think twice. As long as your motivation is high, you can go full speed ahead. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 18) You may plan your day most carefully but suddenly find yourself in a whole new territory or place. Keep to your agenda but know that life has infinitely more exciting things in mind for you than you can conceive. Be ready to switch gears without hesitation. Partners may be the ones to lead you into unknown territory. Blaze trails together, and have a wonderful time doing it. Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Renewed vigor and enthusiasm could bring you into a lifestyle that will keep you high on air. Your reason for creating a safe, new environment could remain somewhat of a mystery for the moment. You may think it is only for the enjoyment of a peaceful environment. You'll discover a new purpose at the base of your life after next week. Don't let the unexpected frighten you.

August 5, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Good judgment will help you through some shaky time in your business world today. Fortunately you have plenty of that and you handle all problems as they confront you. A family situation will take up a good part of your evening but compromise saves the day. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) This is not a good day to take time off from your business to spend in personal pursuits. This is a crucial period in the life of your business and you should be right there on top of everything. It only takes a minute for a molehill to become a mountain. You are the only one who will recog- nize these molehills in time. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Traffic is rough today so be careful every minute you are on the road. Drive defensively. Try to handle problems as they arise and things will go more smoothly for you. The promotion you have been working for could come through for you today and that puts everyone in a great mood. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Tempers may be very close to the surface and it would be wise to treat everyone with an extra dose of courtesy and kindness so as to short circuit any budding feuds. Search for hidden clauses in all contracts today as there is a possibility of an 'I gotcha" in one. Keep alert and the truth will not elude you in these matters. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Someone close to you will confide her/his love and dreams to you today and you are amazed. You have wanted to open up to this person but you were sure she/he cared more for someone else, but now you are on cloud nine and the two of you start on your wedding plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Financial worries beset you now and you spend most of your day worrying until you realize that work, not worry will get you over the hump. Pay close attention to details and put those new plans into operation. Soon you will have those financial problems all taken care of. Offer employees fresh incentives to be more productive. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Today you should receive that all important call and you jump at it. You may be in a dead end job with no chance of advancement and have had your feelers out for a new position with an up and coming new company. This promises to be the way to go. A loved one is with you one hundred percent on your change. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Hell hath no fury--- it would be a good thing to watch your back, figuratively speaking, of course, for awhile. At least until a certain person calms down. There could be some disquieting episodes at work but you handle them with your usual tact and diplomacy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Your ship finally comes in but be careful as it is not yet firmly tied to the dock. No one knows your business better than you do. Shore up your business as best you can by paying close attention to the weakest areas. Assign key people to handle the parts that are running smoothly and you handle the rest. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Someone out there thinks of you as easy prey and will make their move accordingly. You are not as gullible as thought and you are able to recognize the con when it is put forth and send them packing. Be cautious on the job today as there may be a few minor mishaps. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Friends and loved ones lean more and more on you for spiritual guidance as they sense your psychic energy. Your love life should be noticeably picking up. Mar- ried people will feel more drawn towards a loved one. You will do well at work, and will have a lot of positive new ideas. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Your energies are around normal levels, but your reasoning ability will be enhanced. Take advantage of this time by addressing the most unpleasant areas of your life that require this type of logical approach. Pay close attention to the hidden messages in the songs of children, many gems have been mined like this.

the traffic thing scares me.

Yeah, Wolfie, I can see why....!

Auggust 6, 2000 Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) You may feel left out in the cold today. Don't make judgments about anything at the moment, because you're not seeing things clearly. Some remaining financial pressures could keep you on tenterhooks in areas of group activity. If you need to raise funds or obtain grants, this is not the day to deal with those issues. Instead try to pay more attention to family members. Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 20) Take care of your health. Some letdown related to love and your personal life may keep you from feeling your best. In fact you may feel totally hysterical today. Since this is an unusual reaction for you, look for the reasons behind your upsetting emotional reaction. You may discover that someone else is really the vulnerable one and is projecting those feelings onto you. Take a breather. Avoid making judgments. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You may want to run away today. Travel plans could suddenly fall apart, leaving you at loose ends. You may not be feeling up to par, either. If you overreact, it could be because of lowered vitality. Set your sights on new goals, especially where partners are concerned. You could easily work out all the details on the job and with matters at a distance if you give events time to settle into a pattern of their own. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You could charm the birds out of the trees and discuss new contractual arrangements with ease today. Don't let worry about your financial security hold you back. You may hesitate to make waves, yet you can express ideas that will solve major problems for the people around you. You are under some pressure about a partnership now. You could feel unloved. Don't make judgments. Things can turn on a dime. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) Get ready to go full steam ahead with major projects. If you're tired, however, take time to resolve the issues that seem to be draining your energy. Although your emotions relate to powerful projects with land, home, and property, you may also need some time to prepare for an onset of new activity by as early as next week. You'll have your nose to the grindstone after that. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) Discussions, contracts, and communications could lead to especially potent and dynamic activities. You could be dealing with major landed institutions, issues that relate to property, and anything that pertains to your home or lifestyle. These are your areas of power. Don't let momentary worry about your financial life prevent you from reaching out to distant shores and finding new outlets for your products. Libra (Sep. 23 - Oct. 23) If you could only see your capabilities on a giant screen, you might even feel overwhelmed yourself. Just know that nothing is out of reach for you if your motivation is the good of humanity. Get involved in the communications fields or in some other area in which your ideas will reach many people. Don't let feelings of helplessness and inadequacy overtake you. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Your feelings are close to the surface today. Some fears or insecurities may arise to haunt you once again. If you are overcome with worry about other people, you may be helpless to make a dent in their problems. You may wish you could take some burdens on your own shoulders. Send positive thoughts and love to the people you are concerned about. You could feel neglected for the moment. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Situations with groups, friends, and associates could seem burdensome and restrictive now. Try not to decide what other people are thinking and feeling. Deal with your own disappointment over your financial situation. Your hopes may have been unfounded and a bit unrealistic. If you realize that pressures can eat away some of your energy reserves, you'll withhold judgment and get some rest and relaxation. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) You could experience a blow to your ego and sense of self today. If you have recently had great success in getting your needs met, and now you encounter some rejection, it could be through no fault of your own. Avoid shutting out the very people who are in a position to help later on. Your career and public duties could seem burdensome at the moment. Take a vacation. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 18) Partnership may not be what it's cracked up to be for the moment. Don't make judgments and overreact to the behavior of others. Onerous duties could cause people to react in ways you might not expect. Avoid feeling shut out or abandoned. You may not be comfortable with a situation at the base of your life. Your home life demands some revamping, renovation, and redoing. You could shift your focus to other things by next week. Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Discussions may not be the way to proceed right now. If you have extra vitality, you could take on additional responsibilities for your neighborhood or extended family. Otherwise, it behooves you to recoup your own energy for the tasks ahead. Postpone conversations until you feel on top of all situations. Avoid worry about the fulfillment of contractual agreements. Someone could let you down for the moment.

I'm real, real busy with remodeling and rebuilding the Cedar Creek house right now, but I'll be set up again and more active in a couple of weeks. I'll have an internet connection there, hopefully, by the 18th.

August 7, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You're feeling very upbeat today. It's a great day to use your charisma to get things done. Watch for a Capricorn to bring you some great news about finances. You'll be sitting back at the end of the day thinking you're on top of the world. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius It might not be the best idea to procrastinate at work. Your boss is considering you for new responsibilities and you need to prove you can work through your boredom. Get that job done and you'll impress those around you. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're going to find out there is something going on behind the scenes. While it may be initially upsetting to you, this needed to happen. The only way you can move on is to work through what's been going on and see if something new can come from this. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Even though you've been doing a lot of work lately, it's going to be worth it. You'll be pleasantly surprised - that someone you've been trying to get on your side finally recognizes what you've been doing.

oh no!

August 8, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Aries the ram may be climbing mountains that are a little too steep in places, but you will see the light today and head for the nearest plateau. A promotion at work is just what the doctor ordered to get you back on track. Plan a quiet evening at home and let your nerves settle down. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) An e-mail message may have you standing on your head in antici- pation of finally meeting this dream that you have been con- versing with for months. Be sure that when you do meet it is in a well populated place and not alone, until you are well acquainted with him/her. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Mountain climbing may not be this sea goats favorite past time so it is best not to go around making mountains out of molehills and asking for trouble and/or disappointment in your affairs. A coworker may exhibit some jealousy today as you collect kudos at work. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Don't let wild imaginations run away with you today as you try to project what someone is likely to do or not do. Actions taken could be for several different reasons and you may not even be close to figuring this person out. Let your nerves relax and unwind as you wait for a more positive action or word. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) An overbearing person at work may have you so incensed today that you feel like just walking out on the job. Don't ever do that as your reputation follows you to the next one, be- sides, it is always easier to find another place of employ- ment when you are already employed. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Even though you are no longer a child you still feel like saying, "Mother, please, I'd rather do it myself" when a doting parent tries to help you out of a spot you are in. Being an adult, and sure of your own inner strength, you should use your strength to accept gracefully and not injure loving feelings. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A spouse may be pulling all the work load he or she can at the moment and you step forward to ease the burden to the best of your ability, and that is a considerable amount as you have abilities that have not even been tested yet, but your 'I can do it' attitude sees you through. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) While love is beautiful and grand it is still not the end all and the be all of your life, so if this person drives you to the brink of sanity or otherwise causes you much unrest you might want to meditate along the lines of: is it love, or is it codependency. You will see the differ- ence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Family affairs take up most of your time and thought today as a young one may be ill and you will be involved in his or her recuperation process. Don't hesitate today to make room for an in-law who will stay with you for the duration of the illness and contribute professional care and advice. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Put off making any firm decisions today as the chances are good that you will not be able to make them stick, and if you have to back down, or change your position on certain matters, it could cause you a loss of prestige in the work place. Plan a quiet get together with friends tonight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Someone you have put off confronting lately finally steps forward and forces the issue, if you stand your ground and hold fast to your convictions you may be able to make this person see reason and logic in what you have accomplished without him or her. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Visitors from afar descend on you today and catch you unpre- pared, but you are the kind of person who excels when faced with a challenge and soon have everyone settled and happy. Children may not want to give up their room, even for a short term visit, but you find bribery works wonders.

August 8, 20000 Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) You pride yourself on your ability to get to the bare facts of a situation. Your research may lead to discussions about new contracts and better financial opportunities on your job. What you may not realize, though, is that you're being told only part of the truth. Some aspect of your new duties may include less than ideal situations. Ask plenty of questions, and be sure that all the cards are on the table. Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 20) Don't let yourself become depressed over partnership situations. You could feel dumped on, lied to, and generally unhappy in a career situation. You may discover some conflicts between your home and your public life. It is possible that you have taken on a bit more than you can chew. If you feel that your hands are tied, postpone judgments until you uncover some facts. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Loving discussions with a partner or mate could lead to more fulfilling decisions about your home life. You could agree to take your relationship to a new level. Make time to upgrade the decor in your home to create a more romantic atmosphere. You might be wearing rose-colored glasses in regard to travel arrangements and your public life. Be realistic about how new conditions will change your life. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You have the ability to create a fabulous aura of success in almost everything you do. Work conditions seem to take on a new glow as you plan for more ideal situations. If you can incorporate international deals into an existing framework, you may be able to write your own ticket. Just be sure you have all the facts and get all financial promises in writing. Don't hesitate to take action. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) Joint activity may not be what it appears to be. A partner may want to protect you from the cold, harsh truth. You may know only a part of the situation. Ask questions and conduct your own research to get to the bottom of the situation. You may have glamorized a person or projected your expectations onto someone else. You could suffer a financial setback unless you're careful to take positive action. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) You may want to hide your head in the sand and ignore warnings about work projects and expectations of financial reward. Someone may convince you that a gold mine is just ahead. If you do some research and confront the situation head on, you may discover hidden costs that will come out of your pocket. Be sure you're headed in the right direction. Libra (Sep. 23 - Oct. 23) You may discover that financial pressures have taken some new twists and turns. Attempt to resolve any excess expenditure that involves real estate. You may feel temporarily overwhelmed by the responsibilities inherent in a new situation. You may assume that some creative work projects will be more successful than is possible. Don't hesitate to check out the facts. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Take care of your health. If you suffer a setback concerning your home or property, you may suffer a temporary loss of energy, drive, and determination. You could hesitate to take action for fear of dispelling the magic of your work and career potential. Consider a slight change of direction, but postpone action until you know where to go. Romance and partnership may bring unforeseen pressures. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Although you may appear to be perfectly happy and content on the surface, you could feel a deep sense of depression due to fatigue and pressure on the job. Your financial rewards may not be what you expected. Contractual matters need to be clarified. If you have postponed signing papers, delay action until you read the fine print. Hidden clauses could be expensive. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) A sudden surge of reality may overtake you. Expectations of better financial conditions may be further out of reach than ever. Don't be discouraged. If you plan to upgrade your lifestyle and living conditions, you may have to postpone your plans for a short time. Be sure you tune in to your ability to be resourceful. Where there is a will, there is a way. You can accomplish miracles if you try. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 18) You may be more of an idealist than you think you are. You could have expected that some communications with a partner or mate would be more idealistic than is possible. If someone punctures your fantasies, visions, and dreams, you'll be devastated. Take a more realistic, practical look at your present condition if you feel trapped. Your lifestyle and home conditions may not be ideal. Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) It may seem that your hopes and dreams are not coming true. If you have to fight for what you want, you may not think it's worth the effort. Keep some of your fantasies to yourself while you direct your energy in an entirely different direction. You may have to deal with some competition in order to earn money. That may seem contradictory to what your dreams tell you to do. Find a balance.

August 11, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Someone isn't appreciating your hard work. He is taking advantage of your good nature and you need to set your boundaries.

I have pneumonia. I am going to flake out and take my antibiotics like a good girl!! Forget about the social occasion. Wolfie, it is all yours!

well, i've got a social engagement tonight but didn't find an expensive item i had lost (and i did lose something a while back). *HUGS* marcia, you get well!

Thanks! This Erythromycin is in such large capsules it should either kill or cure!!

August 11, 2000 Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) Keep your eye on your goals, but don't let anyone pull the wool over your eyes. Some things are not what they appear to be. Discussions may seem to go well, but after you leave the scene, you may wonder exactly what was said and agreed to. Get everything in writing that pertains to your work. That way, you'll be clear about your duties and what is expected of you. You may wish to hide your head in the sand. Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 20) Some conflict may exist between the reality of your home life and the romance and the dreams of your public life. You may have to focus on restructuring your financial situation. Some extra pressures and responsibilities require that you keep a sharp eye on expenditures. It could be difficult to tighten your belt, but with a goal in mind, it's well worth it. Focus on promotional efforts and products you can distribute. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Additional pressure seems to come with extra responsibilities. You may enjoy being needed, but be sure to take care of your own health and energy. Adopt a health regimen and, if possible, get extra rest. A shift in your economic status may keep your nose to the grindstone. Don't be disillusioned if you have to postpone some travel plans. Stay at home and deal with details first. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) It may be time to delve deeply into your subconscious mind to learn about your relationships. Some thoughts emerge when you're by yourself that make you realize your past mistakes. You can't seem to keep them buried. Your vision of a perfect life of travel and ease may need a reality check. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water, however. Keep your dreams in sight. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) You have wonderful powers of observation and a great ability to put your finger on the mark. You may, however, be at odds with the vision your partners or mate have about financial matters. You are left to count the daily costs of new operations, whereas others are expecting a sea of gold to flow in. You may have to set the record straight without putting out the fire. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) You and your mate or coworkers may not come to an easy agreement now. You could think that other people are adopting an ostrich complex by hiding their heads in the sand. Situations at work conflict with the demands of your public life. It could appear that you have no one to help you with your responsibilities. All of your mental manipulation seems to be hidden by a calm, serene facade. Libra (Sep. 23 - Oct. 23) Conduct some market research into the viability of projects at hand. You may have fine creative instincts, but be at a loss as to how to put them across. Friends may offer advice that only wastes your time and energy. In order to avoid any legal problems, be sure you attend to the details of agreements. If your attention is on distances, leave someone in charge at home. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You may encounter some exciting opportunities in the communications fields. Take advantage of unusual offers. You could plan to reach out to distances, change your lifestyle, and travel to distant shores. You could be so high on life, however, that you forget to count the cost to your public life and pocketbook. Although new projects sound good and seem to gather support, you need to look closely at the details. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Matters at a distance may require your full attention. Discussions and plans you have for writing, communicating with family members, and creating a Utopian home life may fall by the wayside in the face of real situations. Legal matters, contracts, and your public life may require some research. If you need to qualify for some kind of certification, deal with the necessary details. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) You have a greater sensitivity toward the trends of the times as the Moon goes through your sign. If you feel more exposed and vulnerable, count your blessings. Your partners and mate could quickly respond to that new open quality. You may discover that a whole new world is waiting if you can open your feelings to partnership opportunities. Your ride on cloud nine may also benefit from a close look at the cost. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 18) Events in your life might seem more serene if you take time to create a romantic atmosphere. Some strife could exist in relationships, however. You can't walk away from the differences in the way two people process thoughts. You're the right-brain visionary whereas your partner or mate has an eye on left-brain, nitty-gritty details. This combination of talents could be a winning one. Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Keep some goals to yourself. Plant the seeds of fantasy the way you would plant a tulip bulb. Your dreams need some time to germinate, undisturbed, in a hidden place. When you least expect them, they'll emerge as full-blown flowers. The important thing is to plant them and leave them alone. You could create ideal conditions in your personal life by visualizing what you want.

August 12, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Be careful that you explain things today in a clear and lucid manner as people will tend to see something different in your views if you do not present it as you perceive it to be. Never brag about the things you have acquired even if you are justly proud of them. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You have an ambitious plan for home improvement, but remember that you are only one person and can only do just so much alone. This is a good day for working on your budget and get- ting all those bills up to date and ready for mailing as soon as the first of the month rolls around. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You have learned to look at the future in a realistic manner, and will act in your own best interests when a few friends try to get you to become involved in one of their escapades and since your last experience with them you wisely back out and opt for a quiet day at home. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Since this is Saturday and you may not have to work today, you should use this time to catch up on some badly needed sleep, as you have been burning the midnight oil for quite a while now and it is sapping your energy and drive which is very noticeable at work. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) With a display of renewed optimism and courage you will be a shoo in for the first position that comes available, possibly later today, and you will always be a winner when you give free rein to these two traits of yours. You should guard against giving the wrong impression to a loved one. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Yes there is such a thing as an accident that is not your loved ones fault and this may be it so don't be so harsh in your judgment, and do be on hand to give out the hugs and reassurances. Today you may let an excellent financial opportunity pass you by unless you look sharp. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Work of a creative nature is indicated for today and you may wish to sign up for a course or even a seminar to help you toward your goals. Don't sign any legal papers without the advice of a lawyer, so if you must, wait on those until you can talk with one. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't go off on a tangent today when everything does not go according to the way you want it to, you must realize that others may have made separate plans from you and do not wish to change them. Be congenial and let your love show through as you bow to their wishes. There, that didn't hurt too much, did it? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today you place the emphasis on fun , and rightly so, con- sidering your wealth of choice when it comes to enjoyment. Try not to invite trouble today as everyone has a chance of being reasonable; you try to get each one to agree on a fun place to go; compromise another weekend to please some. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) If you combine your traits of aggressiveness with your natural charm today you will find yourself being a winner all day long. Today it would not be wise to 'shut another out' so that they cannot exercise their freedom of speech and express their opposition to your ideas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Avoid making any type of commitment without getting the advice of experts today, and don't jump rashly into some- thing that will cost you a bundle to get out of. Do not try as hard as you usually do to get attention today as the attention that you get may not be all that good. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You take a more active role in your groups activities and emerge the natural leader of the pack. Try not to get involved in anyone's disputes today even if it is only as a judge or a peacemaker as it could backfire and both sides will turn against you. A restaurant seems the log- ical choice for dinner.

August 14, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) This is your day and tonight is your time to have a lot of fun! Consider having a get together with a few good friends. Weather permitting, a backyard Bar-B-Que sounds like fun then, on to the party. Enjoy it, the vacation won't last forever. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Your friends and acquaintances ask more of you than you want to do. Feel free to say a firm no. Saying no is the best way of separating true friends from your basic hangers on. Later today your energies run high so go out and enjoy yourself but make it an early night. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) All things come to those who wait and you will find most of your answers by listening quietly. Quit worrying and take today to get out the old folding chair and lay out in the back yard with a magazine, a glass of tea, birds song, and you. Use this day off to refresh yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You may have to put off your plans because friends and family place heavy demands on your time and resources today. An adult son/daughter may have problems that only you can solve so be prepared. Late afternoon brings peace and quiet, take advantage of it by resting this evening. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Your sign is slated for some good news from afar today. A telephone call or letter from a good friend or family member you haven't heard from in a long time could cheer you im- mensely. Guard against doing anything rash today as this is not a good day to make a firm life decision. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Someone who has been false to you in the past is interested in getting back together again. Be careful. Caution is your keynote for today but with your sense of discernment you should uncover the truth and come through the ordeal total- ly unscathed. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Give it up and get away for a few hours. Your nerves and mental processes need that rest you have been promising yourself. Go boating, driving, or even hula hooping if you must, but get away from it all. Rainy day? If work won't allow it, catch up on your rest in the evening. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Today you will feel like snapping and stinging those around you who disagree with your ideas. Put the brakes on and look deep inside for the cause of your unrest. You are cap- able of finding, facing, and defeating any shortcomings on your part that is upsetting you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Fishing, boating, and swimming seems like a good idea if you can get away, if not try to be as pleasant as possible to those around you and make the day go smooth for you and everyone else, they will love you for it. Children are particularly sensitive to your moods today CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) After a hectic day or two you should take time to recharge your batteries. Go fishing, do a little yard puttering or take a leisurely ride in the country. Whatever you do make plans to get out and enjoy the healing warmth of Gods won- derful sunshine and fresh air. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You are going to need that persistent streak you have today to fend off those who would take advantage of your time and good nature. Don't be fooled by someone you have met recent- ly or by a friend who has played you false in the past. take this today to reevaluate your priorities. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today is just right for applying your energy and drive into getting ahead on your job or any endeavor where you can ap- ply the skills you have accumulated over the years of hard work you have put in. Luck shines on you today in affairs of the heart. You could persuade that special person.

August 15, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Slow down today and think things through so your natural ability to read people and situations will give you all the help you need to nip trouble in the bud. Your natural charisma keeps you in big demand to the opposite sex. Don't let that special person get away. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Don't be surprised if you make some new friends today who may turn out to be some of your best assets. Love is on your mind so if you haven't already and you're a guy, pop the question. If you're a gal you are going to feel like accepting. Both should be cautious but it looks good. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) A spouse may be feeling neglected and unloved. This matter should get your immediate attention. Being a faithful, loving spouse can go far in convincing him or her to have confidence in your love. A teenager, yours or a relatives, may need to have a talk with you. CANCER (June 22-July 22) It's time to buckle down and take care of business. The enterprise you began a few months ago show signs of get- ting in high gear. Involve family and friends for a real- ly resounding success. For you employees today offers a good chance to "show what you've got". LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Catch up on chores you have been putting off, especially those "honey do" jobs. Cleaning out a garage or storage shed could unearth something special to you that you thought was lost and gone forever. Evening brings no major surprises so just relax those tired muscles and unwind. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Be careful you do not have a roving eye if you are already committed to that certain someone who would not be quite as forgiving as he or she would need to be. This is not a day to fritter away so buckle down to some hard work and get caught up with things that may have been let go while you played. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A former spouse may contact you today and the news may not be welcome but with your sense of security and self worth you can weather any situations this could bring into play. Children take up a lot of your time and thoughts today. Possibly in the area of support and medical care. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't be in a hurry to brush off children today. You may be surprised what they can teach you while you are teach- ing them. Be open for your own learning opportunities. Someone at work may be jealous of your position so take them under your wing and get them involved in their own projects. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Problems that pop up today is best put on the back burner for now so that you can handle everything with your usual energy and insight. Why not consider a trip to the moun- tains. Wrap yourself up in vacation plans and let the energy flow back into your body.

AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're going to feel a big transition today. It will transform a part of your life.

WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces The angels are giving you a round of applause! You have done something that is getting a lot of fanfare so be proud of what you have done.

Oh my heavens!!! Wow!!! Wolfie!!! Barcleona is the same air sign as we are!!!

Work will be hard pressed to keep your attention as your head is filled with financing possibilities. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Speaking with a financial advisor today could be to your advan- tage. Try not to go at things blindly, getting the facts first is your safest bet at this time. A teenager may need some extra attention now and you manage to find the time out of a busy day. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You and a partner will be in perfect agreement during the first part of the day but you will need to use a lot of patience with this person in the later afternoon. Don't accept things to be the truth that you hear from an unreliable source, check it out. CANCER (June 22-July 22) An agreement that you have been working for can be had today but only if you work extra hard at it; don't forget that flattery sometimes works.

Daydreaming is not all bad but it can be devastating on the job. Family and friends help you and the spouse celebrate your anniversary.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) This is the day for you to buy one or two lotto tickets, take a trip on a sight seeing boat, or some other thing that you don't ordinarily do, you could get a surprise. Your means of expressing yourself today will carry you a long way in your chosen field. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't believe things you hear unless the one doing the telling can also do the proving. Second hand news is worthless and inflated. A rumor that has been designed to break up your relationship with another person is just that, a rumor. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You can have fun shopping with a friend today if you just relax and let yourself. This is not the day when you should give anyone the benefit of the doubt as you are under a deceptive trend and it would be best to check out every- thing you hear. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A raise may be in order for you as this is a good day for applying that recent knowledge you acquired for updating your job skills and thereby impressing your boss. Good news arrives after dark. Relax and enjoy your night out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Pay no attention to a certain rumor that is going around about another friend, there is nothing to it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Got your eggs all in one basket this morning? Good. You will be asked to give an early presentation and you should be prepared. The chances are good that this can lead to that better position that you have been wanting for quite a while.

August 16, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Someone will show you what is really inside you today. You move past protecting yourself from others and really let yourself shine through today. Don't be afraid to show a different side of yourself - others want to get to know that side! FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Make sure to pay attention to your significant other today. They need your support today. They are feeling quite run down and need some TLC. It might be a good day to send a gift or give them a backrub when they get home. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're trying to juggle too much. While right now it seems like it is under control, something else, probably small in nature, is going to come into your life and spin it out of control. Take the steps now to clear what you don't need in your life so you can feel lighter. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces It may not be easy today - especially since you're going to have to go head to head with someone. This woman doesn't understand you nor want to so make sure you have all your information with you and ready to go. The angels are supporting you in this so take a deep breath and present your case.

250 pounds lighter, actually!!!

*ROTFLMAO*

Oh wolfie, I am crushed! (read your email)

Stay respectful, but adhere to your ideas as they are the reason you were hired in the first place. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Although you may be single, you also have to play by the rules and not pursue someone who is already committed to another.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Sagittarius, half human, half centaur, and all leader of the pack.

Still trying to figure out who my boss is... I know who thinks he is... Hah!

Sorry... Lapse of professionalism there. It is lonely here tonight!

Impossible to forget!

well, i got a lot of work done today!

August 22, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) It is perfectly natural to feel an attraction for a person that you were once head over heels in love with, but just because you must now work together on a family situation try not to make the same mistake twice. It would be best not to pursue these feelings. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Today is just one of those days where everything seems to go right for you and you couldn't lose if you tried.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Hang out at the water cooler today and try to keep an ear open, you will be surprised at the helpful information that you may be able to pick up in this way. Maybe even a winning tip. Parties are great for some today but you would do better reserving them for the weekend. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Unsettling news today may not be the best way of letting you know where you stand on certain family issues, stand up for your rights; if you don't, nobody will stand up for you; you could give the impression of not caring enough. Friends are supportive of your feelings. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Grabbing the brass ring today will be easier if you prac- tice teamwork on the job.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Bringing your work up to date and catching up on those back orders are of great importance to you today as you have put them off until the desk is full.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You can take it or leave it alone, and today you choose to leave a certain thing alone no matter how much you do not wish to. In the long run you will see that this is the smartest move you have ever made. A business rival is close on your heels now; better step up the pace. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) People may think you are a little off your rocker today but you have your own ideas about how things should be done and these ideas are not along the conventional way, pay no attention to the 'sleepers' as some people are the wide awake inventors of the future.

Oh Wolfie, what does that mean?!

August 22, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn A new opportunity is presented to you by someone you least expect. It may look like the perfect opportunity, make sure to find out what the motives are of the person presenting it to you. In the long wrong, who will this actually benefit? FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius An unexpected social event presents itself to you. While you don't have the energy to meet new people, put your best face forward. You'll have a great time and it will help you earn points with an influential Scorpio. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra While it's always nice to make yourself feel better, don't go overboard. If you do that, you're going to create a bigger problem for yourself. Something unexpected will come up and you won't have the resources to take care of it if you do. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A decision comes down that disappoints your today. Handle it with grace. This is actually going to benefit you in the long run but you are going to have to stay where you are for a while. Don't be bitter about what happens -- you're going to benefit from this.

huh? and who is my true love?

*grin* was wondering that for myself, too... August 23, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) If he is really your friend then he would not care how much money you have in the bank or how much you paid for your new car; a true friend cares about your health and your happiness. Jealousy in all its forms smells bad; you'd do well to drop that 'friend'. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Be a good listener today and you will learn things that you may very well need to know to survive the rat race. Gossip, while never pretty, can be pretty informative right about now. A child may be on the verge of getting into trouble, talk to him. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Too many worries over the things you have no control over can make you depressed and gloomy, accept that there are some things beyond even your control and go on with your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) A loved one is about to make you proud of him or her as the accomplishment by him or her may seem small in their own eyes the accolades are not. In time even the worst domestic disputes are cleared up and you will see yours begin to wind down today.

Friends give you a party and everyone you know turns out for the fun. Make it an early night; work tomorrow. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) A demanding boss may not make for a pleasant day but you manage to do what is expected of you and then some. This person may not be with the company much longer and this could have a lot to do with his attitude, remember, all things come to he who waits. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Your people skills are excellent as you are the one sent to solve the problems today. You have proven your ability so many times that now you will get the raise in salary and name to the position that you have been occupying all along. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A new partner puts the life back in your business and there may even be a romantic interest attached to this enterprise. A good day to be careful on the highway if you have to be out and about, so use extreme care when driving. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) It is best if you meet your problems head on today and talk to the people who have been causing you so many problems, The situation will not go away by itself and they will be more apt to listen to you if you show yourself to be honest and above board with them. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) There is no need to put others down or cause them aggra- vation in order to get things to go your way, a quiet dignity is what suits you best and when you apply it you usually get you own way. Financial institutions are easier to deal with today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Family and friends need your companionship and you take the time to be with them. Don't get angry with some co- workers as they are not yet experienced. A recent sur- prise for you has you tuned into the academic life and your efforts will be rewarded. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Try to be very careful about whom you play mind games with today as you could find yourself the loser. A new love may not go for the hot and cold treatment and you can scare this one off before you know it. A message from afar brings you some good news.

Wolfie, bet the advice you get is the same as I get...*grin*

August 23, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Have you been shopping for new clothes lately? You should buy some new outfits soon. You're going to need to upgrade and update your wardrobe because you'll be in a position where you'll have to dress up more often. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Have you been neglecting the household chores? It might be easier to sit on the couch but take some time today to get the little things done. An important lost item is going to be found today. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Laughter is the best medicine. You're a natural comedian so making someone laugh is an effortless for you. You'll find that you'll feel better too. Your boss is taking notes on your effort to be a team player and help others. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Even though you are down, give yourself a pat on the back today. It's true that things wouldn't be as efficient or run as well without you. People know what you do, even though you don't toot your own horn.

yeah, esp. when everytime i turn around she's asking me to help someone else like i have nothing to do. that's ok, i don't mind helping people.

*grin*... Especially some people... You are not only helpful but kind, loyal, tustworthy...(well, two out of three...)*Hugs*

two out of three?

4 out of 3 I meant to write... August 24, 2000 (Happy Birthday, John in Toronto!) ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) With most of the time consuming planning, invitations, shopping, and so forth out of the way you are squared away and ready for the wedding. Take care today that you do not forget to send someone an invitation, it could hurt that persons feelings badly. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Your day will be filled with joy and laughter today as the new arrival has the whole family in a happy dither. The boss is so pleased for you that he gives you the day off to enjoy the advent of the new member of the clan. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) This is not a good day to make plans of a permanent nature, or make a major purchase as the stars show a possible loss for you in this area. A spouse has his, or her, heart set on doing something special today and you give in although it is not your idea of fun. CANCER (June 22-July 22) If travel is on your agenda, be very careful. you have an enjoy- able day as old friends and rarely seen family spends the day just dropping by. You could run into employee problems at work as you make up the schedule, you know you can't please them all but you try. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A good day at work is topped off with an excellent evening with the family, friends and relatives. You must keep your mind centered on your work during office hours to avoid any slip up that could cause you a loss of prestige and position. Let the office clown, clown alone. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You find your time is in short supply between working on one project at home for yourself, and another at work for your employer so this is a good time to enlist some in-house help. Today could be very hectic for you today as the boss chooses your office to hold the annual meeting. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Love is in the air as your sweetheart sets the date for the wedding and you are very happy over this. This is a good day at work for you as there is a distinct chance of a raise when the boss hears your plans. Pay close attention to a child when it tells you something. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A lot of you will be traveling today and the since the summer- time traffic is really bad drive carefully. Today at work will be good as there is not much backed up to do and this gives you plenty of time to take care of personal things you have had to put off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You will spend most of your day on a certain project as you feel it must be just right to present to the boss in the afternoon. You may get a surprise today as you talk to a relative and find out that you are both planning to start the same kind of business. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Problems at work may be getting on your already frayed nerves, and you should make yourself stay in your quite, calm center so none can knock you off balance and cause a threat to your career. Loved ones may also be argumentative, but a little compromise should save the day. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Don't let anger and resentment spoil your fun today as you will be exposed to people who are pessimistic at the best, don't try to cheer them up, just leave them be; they like it they way they are. A good friend needs you so don't throw this person out with the others. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A small problem could arise today for you but nothing that you can not handle with ease, if you don't let it get to you. Stay calm, and collected, and you will be able to handle it all. A loved one may have you pulling your hair out now but that too will come out good at the end.

August 24, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn While you think your day isn't going to well, a family member calls you with some good news today. This news will lift a worry off your shoulders and make you feel better. This has been a project that has been a long time in the works and it has finally paid off. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You'll be winning friends and influencing people today. However, you will find that a coworker is going to get jealous of this. Don't be surprised if you heard then talking about you behind your back. No worries, though, everyone sees through this person. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're having concerns on how your development is going. Express these concerns to a higher-up today. You've been doing the right thing by taking initiative to ask questions and learn new things. A Leo will reassure you. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces You will be in a meeting today that will feel rather tense. You have nothing to worry about -- you have all the information that is needed. A Libra will be upset at you because you upstage them but that's their fault.

Watch out, Wolfie!!!

well, i wonder....the am has no plans that i'm aware of, oh, unless it's......

*grin* August 25, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Guard against being a pest today as others may not want to do the same things you want to. Take the time to think out your actions before you carry them out. A new employee surprises you by helping you out with a good idea. Before committing to buying anything large, be very careful. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Do not "cast your pearls before swine" today, in other words, talking about philosophy to those who would mock you may cause an inner emotional crisis. Luck is in the stars for you, but luck of a more spiritual nature. Use your intuition today when meeting someone new. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Someone you know may be in danger and you can clearly see the problem and this makes you able to help this person; do not hesitate to assist him or her. Your financial life is looking up today as a loan you have been looking for comes through. Love is in the air today for some of you single Capricorns. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Being honest with a loved one about an indiscretion will be the best way to solve your mutual problem. The chances of saving the relationship is very high if you are calm and reasonable in your approach. Life seems to be moving at a faster pace, and you need to rise to the challenge. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Stay in control today, as you do not want to aggravate or offend others, especially in the work place. Your psychic energies are high but more along the lines of being able to convince others to see your way as the best way to do something. Use this power sparingly. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Your love of fine things is more obvious than ever today, as you may turn into a spendthrift buying new things for your home. Do not make a loved one mad at your extravagance. Love is in the air for you singles in a big way. For the married, a time to reaffirm your vows. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Librans are in a state of psychic awareness today. You can almost finish the sentences others speak to you. Luck is also in the air for you and you may find things falling in- to place nicely. Do not put things off today that needs fin- ishing, it may be your undoing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Be careful not to step on too many toes today as some of the foot owners may step right back on yours! Your ideas are sharp and bright, and you are about to get noticed. Be careful not to take the credit from those who hire and fire, they will resent it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You get a good idea for a new project, but thinking it over you reject it. Re-think it. Some ideas are worth a lot that at first may seem un-workable. This is the perfect day to send flowers and candy to a loved one who may be feeling a little depressed. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) this is a good day to look into buying that new home. Your powers of charisma and intuitiveness are at their peek. This will make it hard for anyone to get one up on you. You may want to try your hand at investing as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may be longing to move back to your old home town but this may not be the best idea. You must remember that the past is behind you and the future is where you want to turn your eyes. You truly can never go "back". Your best friend is preparing to make a big mistake...help him or her. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today may bring on a desire for change and these changes will be reflected in your every move. The future is very bright for you so be very careful that you do not breach your own ethics today as this could have disastrous ef- fects on your overall standing.

August 25, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You are going to be the hero today. A crisis at work will be alleviated because of your quick thinking. Not only are you going to help solve the problem but you'll relax and reassure everyone in the process. An Aquarius is thoroughly impressed. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You hate running late but there is nothing you can do about it today. Since it's out of your hands, take a few deep breaths and try to be calm. You'll get to your destination eventually -- it'll be better to present yourself calm than frantic. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra There is a lot of gossip floating around the office today. You should probably set the record straight before things get out of hand. Be diplomatic, however. If this elevates, you don't want to be eating your words. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Brainstorm today on how you can reach some of the goals you're been working on. It's great to talk about it but now is the time to do it. Create a plan to get the resources you need to get things moving -- you need to get moving.

why were capricorns mentioned in our reading, marcia? and today went great!

only know one capricorn - MIKE!!!

September overview The beginning of the month find the Sun in Virgo and Mars in Leo. Following their prescribed and ordained routes, the end of the month finds these two objects progressed to the Sun in Libra and Mars in Virgo. Jupiter is slowing down to a crawl as he is "just fixin'" to go retrograde, but he doesn't actually turn around until the very end of the month. In the middle of the month, however, stuck at the gateway into Gemini, Saturn does go backwards. Of course, relative to our home here on Earth, Saturn's movement is minimal. Venus swings all the way through Libra this month, as does Mercury. Wonder what all this means to you? Secure, online ordering is available on the web site, get your own chart done there: http://www.astrofish.net Aries : I'm looking at a series of conflicting prognostications right now, and I figure I can boil it all down to one word: romance. Don't get confused by romance and relationships this month. In fact, a little extra care would be useful with handling romantic interludes, your feelings, that hot burning passion, and all the stuff the romantic poets write about. There is one Aries who will reply to me, and pointedly direct my attention to the fact that there is no romance in that one Aries life right now. But other than that one person, the sign as a whole is in good standing. But I would caution you to approach this romance with a degree of trepidation. As much as you want to fling yourself into this burning BBQ pit of "love," I wonder if you don't want to back up, and perhaps grab a pair of oven mitts -- asbestos lined oven mitts -- to handle this emotional firecracker. There's a good chance that you might just forget everything else, and focus on one person a little too much. That excludes the other stuff which is happening, and you might miss something important. So do your best to get a decent set of BBQ tongs, if not heavy oven gloves, to handle this moment of fiery passion. It will keep you from getting blistered by the heat. Taurus : This is only a test, not the real event, but this month, this time in your life, it has a chance to give you an overall flavor about that which is important in your life. If you're on a fairly decent track, if you're moving forward at a pace that is comfortable for you, if things are where they are supposed to be, then this little test called, "September, 2000" will present no challenge. But I seriously doubt that we are all on a pathway, a destiny in life that is so clear. So get ready to take the test. Get ready to see if you are really sure about what it is that you're doing in life. It's like trying out a new fishing lure, you've read about it in the magazine -- this new design of lure is supposed to work wonders. You're up before dawn, and down at the lake, boat's in the water, and you're ready to try your new piece of equipment. After close to an hour of no luck, you switch back to old faithful, and you get a strike on the first cast. That's the hint with this month, you would surely berate yourself for years if you don't try that latest new gimmick, but if it doesn't work, don't be afraid to go back to the old ways which have been proven to work over time. Gemini : You've been warned about what is going on this month for some time now. It's not like this isn't some new concept. But there are a couple of astrological events that need to be looked at. One of them is Saturn, who stands at the doorway to Gemini all month. First he puts one foot in the door, then he retracts that foot. What he's doing is calling your attention to an area of your life that needs some fairly drastic changes. We can make this easy, or we can all struggle with it, but Saturn is merely letting you know that he's there, and he's going to eventually force some change. Make it as easy or hard as you desire. Then there's Jupiter, and you've had a good taste of what he can do. Finally, there's a strange little hint that comes in sometime this month, and that's a good little hit from Venus. The planet of love, though, is not nearly as strong as the other movers and shakers in the sky, so it's up to you to maximize what Venus does. Sometimes, you feel like you're not getting ahead when, in fact, you are moving forward. That's what this month is about: realize what gains you are making, and use them. Don't belabor the energies which seem to be expended on useless attempts to get ahead. Cut your losses and move on. Cancer : The world is supposed to be a better place by now, but things in the Cancer camp of life just don't seem to be getting a lot better. It's as if there's a slow and gradual downhill slide that's going on this month. While it is certainly not disastrous, it does feel like there's a problem or two. One or more of my dear Cancer friends will write to me this month and ask, "Is Mercury Retrograde again?" No, that's not the case in this situation. But the effects of the month are going to feel a little bit like that. Mercury is communication, and that's when travel plans, arrangements to meet friends, and fishing parties all go awry. That's why it's going to be assumed that it's Mercury causing the mayhem. It's not, because the problem is associated with other signs and other planets, but for the sake of argument, you can pretty easily assume that it's a Mercury type of downhill slide. Not bad, just not the greatest. And it's small errors that cause the consternation on your fevered Cancer brow -- not big problems. That sort of way of looking at the month should give you some hope, too, because it's not one large problem you're dealing with, just a series of minor irritants. It's like sugar ants in the cupboard here -- no easy solution, but a little bit of extra kitchen hygiene keeps them at bay. Leo : The parties are long over. There is the State Fair coming along, and maybe it wouldn't hurt to start preparing yourself for that. I hope you get the idea. Last month was a little rough, but this month proves to be a lot smoother. It's not with out a timely interruption or two, but as a whole, it slides by on a much more predictable track. You have the last degrees of Leo being "leaned on" by Mars. But Mars, especially in the late degrees of Leo, can actually heat up a few things in a nice way. Mars will lend you the energy necessary to prepare for the big State Fair weekend (in Texas, the State Fair is a big event), and you're going to want to marshal together your Leo energies so you can be ready for this kind of party. There's a lot of ground to cover for this big deal coming up at the end of the month, so I suggest that you start getting ready now. One of the all time favorite past times is "cotton candy" and it's intoxicating smell will invade your Leo's fine tuned sense of smell by the end of the month. That's an olfactory hint about what's to come. Don't let your ire get up in the first part of the month because you've got a chance for all of this work out in the last part of the month. Virgo : The better part of this month has a certain "Virgo twang" to it. After my extensive travels throughout Texas, and even to parts beyond the borders of the great state, I've been able to delineate the subtle changes in language from place to place. Portions of West Texas have a slightly more nasal version of the accent as compared to the lilting, almost Southern accent in deep East Texas. Then there's the really cobbled stuff in Central Texas, and portions of South Texas include more than a fair share of Spanish (really Mexican) accents. As long it's mostly a Virgo birthday month, no discussion about verbal communication would be complete without suggesting that there is a certain Virgo-sound to this month. The problem is making sure that the Virgo noise is not what many astrologers euphemistically refer to as a "Virgo whine." As long as you've got the influences that you do, make sort of joyful noise instead of what everyone else expects out of you. Surprise them all this month -- besides, you should have something to shout about. Libra : The duration of this month sees Venus, the planet of peace, harmony, all things beautiful -- in your sign. Venus is a good girl, sometimes. In a certain school of very arcane astrology, though, Venus is treated as a Warrior Archetype. I'm not naming names, but that fits with a certain ex of mine, that's for sure. So as long as you've Venus traipsing all through your sign, and even though Venus is usually considered a minor planet, I wonder if her spectacular side-effects are not going to be felt by my sensitive Libra friend? This is a time for Peace and Harmony. I just hope that it's amongst friends, and it's not my cat who tries to harmonize. While it may be music to her ears, some folks would suggest that it's just caterwauling. That brings us to a point that I would also suggest that you consider this month: as much as you feel like you're making peace where there was nothing but trouble and strife, consider how your appearance is being perceived by the opposing forces. Under your Venus influence, you might figure that you sound typically Libra-like, and rather good. But like my cat, the noise other folks -- the neighbors -- are hearing might be received a little different. Scorpio : This is the weird time of the year for Scorpio, and this strange flavor to the month just gets more and more bizarre as the month progresses. Two opposing forces are at work. One is busy uncovering various nefarious parts of the deep Scorpio psyche, stuff which laid dormant and untouched for years. The other side is a light and airy feeling that everything is wonderful in the world. On one side of your monthly astrological coin, it's a mighty Phoenix Bird, rising from the ashes of the long forgotten past. On the other side of the same astrological coin, it's the tail of that same bird, and it's down into the stuff from the tail of that bird where you're going to have a dig a little. So flip the Scorpio astrology coin this month, heads or tails, it still comes up with the same message. The good news is that by the very end of the month, you're going to be feeling like you are, indeed, one of this Scorpio archetypes so often battered about: you will be feeling like a Phoenix. Of course, I wonder if it's a pile of ashes or if it's a pile of some other organic material that you're rising from, but either way, you do get a chance to shine before the month is up. And yes, it does get a little bit better, each day -- the further Mars gets from Leo, the better you feel. Sagittarius : We need to examine relationship, and I am not referring to romantic relationships, either. In fact, the question of, "love - honor - cherish" should be swept from your mind this month. You put a deal together. It looks wonderful. Things are great. It falls apart. You stack it all back together again, and it looks like it will come off, and then you hit a serious snag. It reminds me, due to the relative position of Jupiter, Mars and the Sun, it so reminds me of getting out on the lake and digging through my tackle, trying to locate a lucky fishing lure. No matter how carefully I packed, I couldn't find it. It just wasn't there. Not willing to give into the frustration, after half an hour of digging though the tackle, I decided to use something else. It worked just fine that morning. When I got back to Shady Acres Trailer Park, though, I looked for that lucky lure again. It was right in the top tray of the tacklebox. The Sagittarius month is like that -- if you can't find what you are looking for, then be willing to improvise. You might surprised at the good results, especially in the middle of the month. Capricorn : I've aligned your various charts for this month, and I still keep getting good news. It's not like this month is going to be absolutely problem free, but there's a lot more good stuff than bad stuff. There's also a difficult pattern of change which is blowing on the cosmic winds this month. The real problem with this changeling burst of air is that it's not a problem for my fine Capricorn friend. It is a problem for some other people though, and sooner or later, this month, you are going to encounter this. It's a rough spot in an otherwise smooth period of time. It's not a bad rough spot, not if you wear a decent plastic coated surface. For you, this change is going to be affected by other people. And I'm not one to foretell doom and gloom, but there's a big rift which might open up at work. This is the month when you're going to be called on to stitch this back together because in the face of adversity, no one can be as cool and calm as you are. Aquarius : The month doesn't neatly divide itself into sections, but there is an increased emphasis on certain events, and as long as we are dealing with a Virgo time, you're going to find yourself dealing with messy arrangements in your private social life. Relationships become a central focus as the month starts. In fact, these relationships (occasionally lack of relationships) becomes a centerpiece on your Aquarius table. Of course, to most normal signs, the term "relationships" implies "romantic relationships" and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest that you Aquarius types are any different in this respect, at least, not this month. However, I would urge a different definition for the terms, if only for right now. There's a great day coming, and that's going to hit around the end of the month. Just exactly when? I'm not too worried because I will look forward to an ecstatic Aquarius e-mail, sometime around then. But getting to the end of the month while avoiding the "relationship" trap might be a little bit of a challenge. Pisces : I could address some of the planets' big movements, but there's a very subtle "feeling" afoot in Pisces right now, and due to my understanding of the sensitive nature of the Pisces psyche, I figure this is what needs to be looked at. It has a lot to do with both Jupiter and Saturn. Saturn was very useful in old time astrology because he was easy to predict with. And if you're willing to listen to the mystical, metaphysical music of the spheres at this point, you can avoid some really serious frustration later. Nothing is worse than showing up for a fishing date and not having a pole to fish with. What's up with that? In order to prevent this from happening to you, a little bit of thoughtful preparation is in order. This month, you get the slightest hint, the barest little echo, the smallest suggestion of what needs to be changed in your life. You even get a viable opportunity to make it better, too, but, once again, that idea of preparation is in order. The biggest problem with this month is that this is only a slight influence. It's not like it's a really big one, but if you are able to learn to pay attention to the more subtle hint this month, you can make some great gains in the very near future. Consider it advance warning information. Or a better astrological weather forecast.

August 28, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today should run smoothly for you as you have completed all the do ahead chores, and now you are set to take the day off. A problem could arise for you but nothing that you can not handle with ease, if you don't let it get to you. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Don't let anger and resentment spoil your fun today as you will be subjected to several people who seem to be getting 'on your case' and this could wear you down if you let it. You may want to see less of these people until they get over what may be bothering them. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Small problems at work may be getting on your frayed nerves, and you should make yourself stay in your calm center so none can put you off balance and cause a threat to your career. Loved ones may also be argumentative, but a little compromise should save the day. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your day will be taken up with plans for your wedding, and you will spend most of your week on this project as you feel it must be just so since you plan on doing this just once so you do it right.Out of town, late arrivals will not give you pause, as you have wisely planned ahead for just such an occurrence. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A good day at work is topped off with an excellent evening with the family, friends, and relatives. Although this is your favorite pastime you must keep your mind on what you are doing during office hours to avoid any slip up that could cause you a loss. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) At work you should delegate someone to complete some of your projects that are in danger of getting stale, as you find your time is in short supply between working on one project at home for yourself, and another at work. Get your nose off the grindstone and go out for awhile. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Love is in the air as your sweetheart sets the date for the wedding, and you are ecstatic over this. A round of parties lure you out of your daze and into having some good, clean, fun. This is a good day at work for you as there is a dis- tinct chance of a raise today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) The traffic is really bad out there today so start early on your vacation trip. Have your car serviced and ready, be sure the tires are new, or close to it, and if you are not staying with friends or relatives, then call ahead for reservations, then....have a happy one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) If travel is on your agenda today, be very careful, but those of you who plan to spend your vacation at home will also have a very enjoyable time as an old friend drops by today after work, and gives you all the news. You can't please everyone but you try, even offering to take on someone elses respon- sibility. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Watch your spending habits today. This is not a good day to plan, or make a major purchase as the stars show a possible loss for you in this area. A spouse has his, or her, heart set on doing something special today and you give in although it is not your idea of fun. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Having received the greatest gift in the world, you burst with joy, making today the happiest you have ever had. Your day will be filled with joy and laughter and loads of visitors! Just be sure they do not tire you (or the mother)out. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) With most of the time consuming shopping, and so forth out of the way you are squared away and ready for the fun to begin. Take care today that you do not speak in a manner about someone that could wound that person as he/she is very sensitive. Better look back over the list to find some missing names.

Yikes, Wolfie, this one was for today and it did not get here till after I posted tomorrow's!!! ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A child may not want to follow the rules and this may require discipline. Don't be too harsh with this person as growing up all at once can be pretty scarey, make sure the small crime fits the punishment. The rest of the family will help you follow through on the grounding if you do it sensibly. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Someone you like very much may be asking a bit much with this latest request. If you always smooth the way for this person then he/she will never become responsible for his or her actions. There is a time and place for everything and if you think about it, this is not the time. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Letting a loved one know that they are free to handle their own life and walk their own path will sometimes become the cement needed to keep everything running smoothly on the home front. Understanding and tact will go the extra mile for you. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your love interest may be waiting for you to ask that impor- tant question and if you tarry too long you may find someone else has come along while you were busy trying to decide. If you are married you may find that even the smallest of lies will get you in hot water today. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A commitment that you have with a friend over a business matter may fall flat on its face today as the friend signals that he or she is ready to back out.
