Horoscope

Every month at some point, I check out my horoscope at Astrology Zone. I realized this morning that the month had changed and I was wondering what it had to say for August, so off I toddled to the Capricorn full monthly page. 

Check this out: "The areas of your life that are reshaping your world these days involve your career, your relationship with a significant other in love or business, and possibly regarding a residential, property, or family situation. That’s a lot of change for anyone to digest, but this month, all these areas could again bring news."

Ya think? That was in the intro paragraph. Let me share a few more snippets.

"As a result of all the changes that are happening in your life, you are getting a new appreciation of who you are, where you are headed, and what you want to happen next in your life. In fact, you may now begin to change your appearance quite a bit to reflect all the changes going on within you. In every way you are becoming new, and as you emerge out of your new shell, others will respond very positively to the new you."

What have I just been saying the past entry or two? "Change your appearance". Mmmhmmm. "New appreciation of who you are, where you are headed and what you want to happen next" Mmmhmmm

"Now and in weeks ahead, will have a chance to correct a past mistake or fine-tune a relationship, or, conversely, break up and walk away. With aspects in such extreme positions, you won’t be able to put things off for another more convenient time."

Mmmhmmm.

"Of all the parts of life that appear to be front and center, your career seems to be getting the most attention, but your partner (or soon to be ex) could be as well."

Again, mmmhmmm.

" Your financial situation had consumed your thinking during from October 2009 to June 7, 2010."

It was about October that the new spa owner switched me from salary to commission and the money stresses began. So, yeah.

On the personal front: "Recent months brought all sorts of meditations about the role of a certain partner in your life, so as you enter August, you’ll still be thinking of how to handle recent revelations and what to do about all the talks you’ve had."

And on the work front: "Saturn is now back in your lofty career sector and urging you to reinvent yourself in a completely new way. Using the same old formulas that worked in the past won’t yield the same results, for conditions are shifting rapidly. You’ll discover this soon enough (if you haven’t already). It’s time to move to a new beat and for the little goat to climb a new mountain. You won’t have to turn your life inside out necessarily (i.e., change careers), but you will have to expand your base or reach for a more senior position, simply because it’s time you showed the world what you are capable of doing."

How’s that for interesting? It also says "It would not be wise to accept a new position now – wait until the dust settles. You will be better able to sort things out in October. You may feel an urgency to act, but – resist it." but I’ll have to play that one by ear. And if the person going on maternity leave can hold out for September, which was her original plan, it’ll all play out. I can always try working there part-time a couple of days a week to see how it is. In any case, there are options and options.

Fascinating.
