More than one opportunity exists to enable you to create stability in an area fraught with tension and uncertainty. The decision making process would be considerably easier if you didn’t have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Something is being done out of obligation rather than heartfelt commitment. You won’t be letting anyone down by choosing to walk away from a commitment that you and others know you’ll struggle to fulfil in this month, especially. TAURUS - 4/20-5/20 - Your creative talents shall come to the fore this month. It makes sense to get information from appropriate sources and as knowledgeable and confident others may sound, it doesn’t mean their advice is sound. Be discriminating and choosy when it comes to heeding to the notes of others. If you feel you must ask others’ advice about a certain matter, make a point of asking the right people. Finances take a new turn for this month ahead. GEMINI - 5/21-6/20 - You can’t give what you haven’t got in this month ahead. Neither can you provide what’s unavailable to you. You appear to be seen by certain others as able to provide an insight or answers to queries or issues that you too would appreciate being enlightened about. It’s both flattering and frustrating that you should be seen in this way but your priority now is to get to grips with one particular sensitive issue that is lacking essential information. Trust that it is coming as quickly as it’s able to during this month’s period. CANCER - 6/21-7/22 - Give enough time you can afford to a concern that you haven’t given already during this month ahead. The proverbial ball is in someone else’s court. They know your feelings about a mutual matter and are likely to share your views about how increased communication levels could improve or accelerate a process but action must come from them. You’ve done and said your bit. Give someone a chance to let your views sink in. Family and its health matters most for the month. LEO - 7/23-8/22 - You are at slight risk now of investing considerable effort where you needn’t or shouldn’t. You’re in the right place. A way forward is clear. All you need to do is recognize that your effort needs to be channelled in a more helpful and effective way. This simply involves patience and giving less effort than you have been giving toward something. VIRGO - 8/23-9/22 - Temptation is growing strong for you in this month. An urge cannot be resisted. A way must be too tried and tested in this time period. Your trepidation is understandable but in the back of your mind, you’ve adopted an it’s now or never attitude toward a particular plan. This month is going to a very different period and a plan that is pivotal to next month is starting to come together now. You’re right to feel excited and optimistic. Let ideas and those keen to support you continue to come forth. LIBRA - 9/23 - 10/22 - What more could this month bring for you than a wonderful surprise. That’s what the sky insists is in store for you. A situation you would bet couldn’t possibly offer a ray of hope does appear to hold much in the way of promise. To ensure you benefit fully from what’s coming, simply focus on and visualize what you want to see happen. It will be more than coincidental. SCORPIO - 10/23-11/21 - You are capable of making the simplest tasks appear complicated during this month period. Simple professional and personal matters can be explained with great complexity. You can even talk convincingly about the complexity of such simple tasks. You could be inclined to believe you face a mountain in attempting to solve a current problem. It appears big and daunting but the truth is, it is not. It is surprisingly and reassuring simple thanks to this time period you are in. SAGITTARIUS - 11/22/12/21 - In the same way currents in oceans and rivers can be difficult or impossible to fight against, you’re being pushed in a certain direction now. You are probably aware of how unsubtle the cosmos is being in terms of ensuring you do move toward a certain point or destination. Trust that you are being helped in very protective ways. For as long as you resist or try to maintain control over a certain situation, the longer and more difficult the process will become. CAPRICORN - 12/22-1/19 - An important decision is being made, either by you or for you in the month of September. You appear to have more than one option either where a certain relationship or agreement with an organization are concerned. Where you were alone not so long ago and believed you had few options, you now appear to be spoiled for choice in some ways. Something special is underway. Strength in numbers will make it happen. Let those who want to be involved help you.. AQUARIUS - 1/20-2/18 - How important would certain issues you believe to be important be. Certain insignificant tasks become quite daunting during this month. It’s only because you are perpetually caught up in fire-fighting dramas on a daily basis that you believe them to bigger than you are. You needn’t travel to outer space to gain valuable perspective on what’s causing your biggest headache now. It’s coming to you and you’ll welcome it this coming month. PISCES - 2/19-3/20 - During this month you would be slowed down by something or someone, and you grow accustomed to speed at which you can move. Eventually you should accept the imposed limitations and that you can achieve only what you are able to achieve given your circumstances. Yours are about to change significantly. You are no longer carrying a burden you’ve grown used to. The liberating feeling will be more than noticeable for this month ahead.
