Today
During the next 48 hours, taking information as gospel without checking it out using your own eyes, brain, and analytical system will probably not turn out to be the stuff of which dreams are made. Plus, if you're already ambivalent about the prospect of a successful project, partnership, or set-up, it will be harder to remain neutral as you seek out the truth of the matter.
Your Birthday
Be careful what you wish for, or at least be incredibly mindful and specific about the manner in which you frame your requests. While this year you are fully encouraged to ask for whatever it is that you think would advance your personal, spiritual, creative, romantic or emotional growth, NB: There's every chance that fulfilling your requests will entail some [alterations? modifications?] in the status quo.
ARIES
Friday, August 19, 2022
To most effectively deal with prevailing issues, or others' discontent: Mind your own beeswax, and avoid assuming the role of the cavalry riding to the rescue. Seriously, there are occasions when stepping back and letting everything unfold of its own accord can spell the difference between resolution and revolution - and this instance is looking like a viable candidate.
TAURUS
Friday, August 19, 2022
Mini power struggles, sniping, and pushing buttons could be the popular games of choice today, but you don't have to play. So try your utmost not to rise to the bait, especially if you have no particular wish to find yourself in the middle of a debate that you've already said that you want no part of.
GEMINI
Friday, August 19, 2022
If you feel that others are blowing hot and cold, you're not overreacting - indeed, you're quite right. However, your challenge is to avoid responding to their provocation, because once you get tee'ed off they are unlikely to have what it takes to charm you back to your vaunted good nature and humor.
CANCER
Friday, August 19, 2022
Those around you may want you to participate in their dramas ("take my side - you know I'm right!") but that doesn't obligate you to volunteer your services. In fact, with Sun perturbing powerful Pluto, should someone ask for you to act as referee, you may want to suddenly remember that you left the garden hose running.
LEO
Friday, August 19, 2022
If your fellows are behaving like divas, ascribe it to Boss Sun irking Pluto. Then counter by being determinedly cheerful and refusing to discuss or process their issues or complaints - many of which are being aired so they can hear the sound of their own voice, and not because anything is actually wrong.
VIRGO
Friday, August 19, 2022
Follow your instincts, even if others (such as your advisors, specialists, handlers) don't necessarily concur. When push comes to shove, you are your own best advocate. Moreover, you got to where you are now by employing your unique ability to look at a set-up, assess it, and figure out how to operate and/or profit from it.
LIBRA
Friday, August 19, 2022
Whether or not you're focused on it, people are confident in your ability, look up to you, and are happy to follow your lead. Therefore, it's preferable to conduct yourself as though you know what you're doing and have faith in your program - yes, even if you secretly harbor doubts, or haven't yet ironed out all the details.
SCORPIO
Friday, August 19, 2022
The idea here is to keep your legitimate desire to do your life differently from landing you smack dab in the middle of a set-up that would repeat the very patterns that you're trying to change. Needless to say, this will require listening very carefully to all incoming proposals, and vetting them with a gut check.
SAGITTARIUS
Friday, August 19, 2022
The Sun is irritating potent Pluto, which could set off a flurry of internal doubts about who you are, what you want, and why you're here. So perhaps it would be helpful to take a few deep calming breaths and try to settle yourself down before you do anything drastic - and more to the point, premature.
CAPRICORN
Friday, August 19, 2022
Prior to launching into that conversation about deal terms, contracts, or your future, go through your notes and do some pre-strategizing and organizing. It's always more efficient to negotiate from a position of strength - but you have to locate the target before you can figure out exactly when and how to let your arrows fly.
AQUARIUS
Friday, August 19, 2022
Just because somebody wants you to commit to a venture, schedule, specific course, or venue - and just because you're an amiable sort and would like to cooperate - doesn't mean that you're quite ready, or that the timing is right. It will be imminently, though - so until then, keep your options open, graciously smiling and waving as you go.
PISCES
Friday, August 19, 2022
If someone asks if everything is okay, you reply that it's fine, thanks, and they take you at your word, you're unlikely to be pleased by what you'd characterize as their complete lack of interest in your affairs. So try a little more candor ("actually, I'm feeling pretty much fried to a crisp!") and see whether they become a bit more engaged.
