Daily Horoscope: Wednesday, August 18, 2010
Moon Alert
We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or 10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Confused communications, lost paperwork, staff shortages, delays, canceled appointments, and lots of silly, little errors will dog your footsteps at work now. Unfortunately, this is going to continue for a month. ("Kill me with a spoon!")
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Old flames and ex-lovers are back on the scene. Depending on how things ended, this could be good or bad. (Perhaps it's opportunity striking twice?) Old issues with children are also on your plate. Plus vacations might be delayed or canceled. Oh no! Oh yes.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Family reunions plus relatives coming out of the woodwork might put pressure on your home scene in the next few weeks. It's par for the course because Mercury retrograde is taking place in that part of your chart. Stock the fridge.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Try to anticipate anything that would cause delays to transportation and your daily activities. Pay your phone bill. Keep all batteries charged, especially for cameras and cell phones. Stay on top of car repairs. Allow extra time for everything now and in the next few weeks. Prepare!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You will be dealing with old money issues in the month ahead. Furthermore, quite likely, cheques in the mail will be late. In fact, all kinds of financial issues, unfortunately, including cash flow, will be slower or bogged down. Fortunately, this is a temporary thing. (Whew!)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Hold the phone! Mercury is already slowing down in your sign, and on Friday it goes retrograde. This is why you're running into ex-partners and old friends. It's also why you keep losing things and suffering from delays in transportation. Just grin and bear it. (Gone in about three weeks.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Although this is a maddening month ahead with delays, confused communications and transportation breakdowns, it's actually a wonderful time for you to do any kind of research. In other words, since the world is going "backwards" why not use this natural momentum to dig into the past? Eh wot?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Many of you are bound to be running into old friends and past acquaintances in the next few weeks, if you have not done so already. If you're lucky, some of these people owe you money! If you're unlucky, you owe them money! (Aagghh.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a confusing time dealing with bosses, parents, teachers, and authority figures. You might feel like you're getting mixed messages from them. Or perhaps, your mixed messages are internal? Perhaps old issues (or people) are back in your face again making you question your life direction in general?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Travel delays and cancellations are very likely now and in the next few weeks. If you are traveling, allow extra time for everything and double-check all your details, papers, reservations, bookings and connections. Similar delays to publishing, the media and higher education are happening. Ouch!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Although the resources of others might be withheld from you or delayed, with insurance matters, inheritances. And red tape work might be mysteriously held up -- actually, now and in the month ahead, you can wrap up a lot of loose details! "Trust the force, Luke."
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You are definitely busy dealing with ex-partners and issues with ex-partners -- no question. This is because Mercury retrograde is taking place directly opposite your sign. It's been slowing down since Aug. 7. It goes retrograde on Aug. 20. It goes direct on Sept. 12. But you're not in the clear until Sept. 26th. Oy vey.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Director/actor/environmentalist Robert Redford (1936) shares your birthday today. You're philosophical. You believe in living life to the full. You know that personal experience is the key to appreciating something. You are not daunted by obstacles. Quite the opposite -- you rise to the challenge! You're a leader. You believe in working with you've got because there's no other choice. Your year ahead will focus on partnerships and close friendships.
