August 20, Friday 2004 If you are drawn to read these, you are an energetic match and therefore insight will be provided! Aquarius- Explore new territory today and allow yourself to feel out of place. You must let all fear of being different leave while you look at other options for spending your time. Being different is what every actor hopes for, be one of those for the day and see where this character needs to go in order to be believable. Pisces- Courage is something that comes in all forms. You may not save a life from a burning building as often as you may save someone while being a great listener. You’ve made yourself out to be a nobody today, It’s only true if you buy into the grandiosity of what a hero is (comic books and movies), but how many of those to you actually know? Most heroes’ you admire are regular people, like you (even if Tom Cruise read this it would be the same!). Aries- Hearing or reading things that aren’t true is an every day occurrence. It tends to hurt though when it’s you who’s the subject of the rumor. If you feel this is happening, don’t waste much time trying to clear it up. The harder you try to clear it, sometimes the guiltier you look. So, for reasons of saving face, keep your response brief and your emotions out of the picture. Taurus- Extreme measures are needed in order to get you to stop believing the bad. Get to the pit of your emotions by taking an extreme approach. Exercise-take a spinning class or go the absolute opposite route; learn how to release your emotions by sitting still with them. Let the craziness that’s taking over you be released by taking care of you today and not overlooking what you need. Gemini- Aren’t you glad that today is not yesterday? Positive news is headed your way regarding romance. Taking a class on something that you’re interested in learning more about would be a great last minute thing to do tonight. Check out the LA Weekly, the Learning Annex or Bodhi tree bookstore for an event, lecture or workshop that would enlighten while entertain. Cancer- You have fun in your heart today. You want others to feel good and you are doing your best to make sure those around you are fully enjoying themselves when they are with you. You don’t have to work at it; it’s your natural state of being, just remember to be you and not someone else during your routine. The act needs to be all yours. You have a woman calling you about work soon. Leo- Sort through old papers and clean up the desk at work. By doing that you’ll have a fresh start to the day. Your shoes and dishes need to be reorganized too, why? Because these are the little things you overlook and once you’ve done them you will feel really good about the “cleanliness” that surrounds you. Part of your deal right now is to clear out the old and bring in new energy. These things represent pieces of you that matter. Shoes determine whether or not you are dressed “smart”. Dishes represent home life and warmth; your desk holds ties to your future. Virgo- You’ve had a tough beginning in life. You’ve made it through challenges in your home life that other people would have run to drugs or alcohol for escape. This day is nothing like any of that, so you’ll get through it no problem!! All I’m saying is, keep things in perspective. Libra- You’re lucky to be you. You don’t think so half the time, but the other half you really believe that statement. So, why don’t you focus on how wonderful you are more often so you can increase that love you so readily want to give when your heart is open? You can reopen the door to your heart by loving yourself more today. Scorpio- You’ve been given an ultimatum. It’s time to really sink your teeth into finishing short-term goals otherwise; you’ll find that everything you’ve been trying to accomplish over the last two weeks is going to fall apart. Any job, or person or project you’ve been working on is coming to an end and the outcome is completely in your hands. Be a rock star! This will set precedence for the next 6 months. Sagittarius- Compliments are coming your way. While you are being groomed for a pre-meditated plan, make sure that what you’re told sounds logical. Do you believe these compliments? It’s not to say you don’t deserve approval, but is what’s being said really true for you or do you just want to buy it because it feels good? Capricorn- You’ve really got a heavy load today. Keeping focused is no problem for you, but do remember to allow others to participate in your success. You are not here to be anybody’s hero but your own. You naturally support so many with your energy, that’s enough to do right now. Don’t try any harder to be more than you are already. Write, write, write. Blessings. May your heart lead the way.
