LEOS love praise - they love to give it, and even more, they love to get it.
If your Leo spouse isn't praised for, say, two days in a row, anger builds.
And Leo is seldom shy about expressing anger. But VIRGOS find praise difficult
- they're embarrassed to receive it, and to give it. When Virgos watch someone
perform, their analytical, practical eye just - well, just watches. Virgos
don't think in superlatives. They think: How? Why? What? In combination with
what? There's Leo performing all sorts of high-wire acts to impress Virgo,
and Virgo watches quietly, then wants to go back to his or her computer, book
or work bench, where the real action is. This makes Leo-Virgo a difficult
love match. Virgos mesh more smoothly with CAPRICORN and TAURUS, both very
practical, unimpressed signs. Leos harmonize with ARIES and SAGITTARIUS, enthusiastic
signs who need no prompting to say, "Wow, look at that high-wire act!"
(Though Sage says, "Wow, that was great," and Aries says, "Hey,
can you do that again, but from the 10th floor?")....
Sagittarians have faced a lot of "destiny" over the past nine years (and for three to come). The cosmos has decided to challenge the members of this sign in many ways, most of them revolving around power, self-image, and pride. Sagittarians who have said "I'm an island!" were suddenly alone. ("Island" - E.g., left a family to go travelling, insisted on freedom, rejected a lover, demanded the power in a relationship, etc.) Life is trying to inject spiritual realities and recognitions into the Sagittarian psyche, and it will use every tool it needs. Look at the airline industry over the last decade, and you'll get an idea of the Sagittarian experience. (2005 lifts this challenge a lot, brings joy and hope.)
Still, Sages are no worse off than GEMINI, who is suffering slings and arrows in the relationship sphere from 1995 to early 2008. Geminis have found their links turning inside out, have had to compromise, co-operate, be humble, and undergo some sessions of severe self-examination in order to preserve key associations. (Ironically, Gemini's key relationship is with Sagittarius, the "other sufferer.") In 2005, Gemini finds love.
Gemini loves to skate along the ice rink of life, whizzing past people and situations, saying a friendly "Hi!" and skating on - variety is this sign's need and desire. But Capricorn, to whom Gemini can be deeply attracted, loves to build well-planned, enduring structures, and likes deliberate, careful action undertaken after much deliberation. These two signs often enter into practical, financial, and/or lustful partnerships, but there are personality and "style" obstacles to overcome.
Start Nothing:
11:34 p.m. Mon. to 9:14 a.m. Tues.,
6:54 a.m. to 9:33 p.m. Thurs.,
and after 10:23 p.m. Sat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aries - (March 21-April 19)
The general accent lies on your place in the community, your prestige, reputation,
and your prospects. Spend Sunday/Monday recuperating and mulling over your
options, then get out and charge after your goals the rest of this week. Take
care Thursday into Saturday - there's lots of work, and lots of co-operation,
and a few opportunities - but tension, machinery malfunctions, work upheavals
or differences of opinion can shake things up. Adhere to safety rules! (And
be kind to those who seem slow - the boss might be watching.) Romance, creativity
fill Tuesday/Wednesday!
Taurus - (April 20-May 20)
A loving, understanding mood flows through this week - but don't let this
lull you into making a big investment or chasing intimacy on the wrong side
of the moral divide. Both would cause sudden problems Thursday onward. These
things - sex, finances, investment/debt, health diagnosis/surgery, and research
(detective work) - will be favored next week into January 10. So wait until
then to decide on a course of action. In general, the whole six weeks ahead
intensify these areas, so there's no rush. Property, family issues succeed
Tuesday/Wednesday. Romantic problems late week!
Gemini - (May 21-June 20)
Relationships deepen and intensity during the weeks ahead. You could become
a friend and a lover to someone vibrant, enthusiastic and "big thinking."
Or, you could form a great friend-business relationship. Or, you could just
make a couple of enemies! That last is more likely if you charge after links
or force issues Thursday to Saturday - be patient, wait. Don't worry, the
"deal" will come in January or early February, you'll be accepted,
your "public" will expand. (E.g., actors find more recognition,
lawyers find more clients.) Talk, visit Tuesday/Wednesday.
Cancer - (June 21-July 22)
Work grows hectic over the six weeks ahead. Pace yourself - above all, don't
start any work projects this week, especially not Thursday to Saturday. Take
safety precautions around electricity, water and machinery/tools. That said,
this upcoming period (to early February) could give your career a shot in
the arm. At the least, it gives you career brownie points that you'll use
in April, or in 2007. The entire month ahead features relationships, co-operation,
and a need for diplomacy. You could meet someone exciting! You impress people
Sunday/Monday. Chase money Tuesday/Wednesday.
Leo - (July 23-Aug. 22)
You'll be a bit tired Sunday/Monday - rest up, pamper your health, contemplate
the month of work and extra chores that faces you. Do tackle a few overdue
obligations these two days - tax returns, visiting shut-ins, take something
to the food bank, etc. Your energy and charisma soar Tuesday/Wednesday - you'll
attract attention, admiration! Which brings up another matter - now through
mid-February, your romantic side (and creative, speculative and teaching talents)
flare with doubled force and passion. That intensity can cause upsets Thursday
into Saturday, though - step lightly, observe rather than pursue.
Virgo - (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The month ahead brings romance and deep creative, speculative and pleasure
urges. Your teaching abilities rise to the surface. However, the six weeks
ahead trigger tension on the home front. Your stomach could become upset (heartburn).
Be kind and gentle. These six weeks are a terrible time to fertilize soil,
to begin co-habiting with anyone, or to decorate your home. But they're great
weeks to landscape, install drain tiles, repair the home, construct/destruct,
and to invest in property. But don't start these this week - wait until January
2 onward.
Libra - (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Domestic issues, property, security, rest and recuperation become main features
for a few weeks. You might be tempted to quit your job - don't do this unless
you've accepted a better one. A few Librans will be given the pink slip -
if so, be bold, ask for a promotion or "lateral" position, and you
just might get it! Use these weeks to make decisions about who and what belongs
in your life, and which don't. Be ambitious Sunday/Monday. Flirtations, social
delights come Tuesday/Wednesday. Be careful, silent, self-protective Thursday
to Saturday.
Scorpio - (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The weeks ahead emphasize paperwork, short trips, details, siblings, casual
acquaintances, and communications. Your money luck soars now through early
February, mainly from your work efforts, or equipment sales. Ask for a pay
raise. But don't take money chances this week. A legal or other surprise (or
simply your own need to express yourself) could affect your income picture
this Thursday to Saturday. For the whole six weeks ahead, strictly clamp down
on your spending. You feel mellow, loving, understanding Sunday/Monday. Your
career and prestige get a nice boost Tuesday/Wednesday.
Sagittarius - (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Chase money in the weeks ahead. Take a conservative approach to spending.
Your magnetism, assertiveness and determination increase strongly through
early February. This week (particularly Thursday to Saturday) that assertiveness
or magnetism could trigger a "jolt" in home or career zones. A family
upset? The boss makes an unwanted advance? Whatever the case, be patient and
conservative. Don't take risks with tools, fire, etc. Earlier, Sunday/Monday
are mysterious, could draw you to an investment or an intimate interval. Your
heart, mind and skills soar Tuesday/Wednesday - travel, education and culture
succeed!
Capricorn - (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your energy, charisma and effectiveness soar through the weeks ahead - start
important projects, ask favors, impress people! Your progress will be obvious
to observers. Yet a fair amount of your focus will be on hidden things - your
inner self, your private life, confidential discussions, involvements with
government agencies, institutions, or head office. Recent events here were
just "Act One." Beware these hidden areas Thursday to Saturday -
a surprise might throw you off-stride. Relationships offer excitement and
opportunities Sunday/Monday. Follow up Tuesday/Wednesday, when sex, research
and investments/finances are success-starred!
Aquarius-(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You're in a period of tiredness, rest and contemplation until January 19.
Your contacts with government, head office, institutions, spirituality, and
charity increase. Usually such periods dampen your popularity (to make you
rest). But the six weeks ahead push you into friendships, travel, flirtations,
speculations and hope. The cosmos wants you to plan optimistically, to befriend
someone unfortunate (or spiritual), to be social with civil servants, to contemplate
a loved one. Why? An attraction's obvious Tuesday/Wednesday. Don't mix money
and friendship Thursday to Saturday; don't buy machinery or computers.
Pisces - (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your popularity rises - flirtations, social joys, happiness and optimism arrive,
an air of fresh horizons wafts in through January 18. But your career, reputation,
ambitions and dealings with higher-ups also claim your attention until early
February. Your cheerful optimism and upbeat social manner will help you schmooze
with VIPs - that's good, because they're temperamental and impatient to February.
Display your talents and put forth proposals! But avoid ambition, assertion
and showdowns Thursday to Saturday - others' responses are unpredictable.
Earlier, Sunday/Monday bring romance, creativity. You'll accomplish a big
job Tuesday/Wednesday.
