Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Figure out how to keep your life in order and you’ll be so much happier. The great thing about being in a self-improvement mode is that it makes you a lot more patient with other people, and a lot more open to having fun. You have some vacation time coming your way, and exciting ideas about how to spend it.

Libra

(Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

You’re in the mood to have fun, and so are the people around you. The only downside to being social is that it’s hard not to be distracted by it. There’s a lot going on at work, too. You’re great at building relationships, and some of your co-workers are becoming good friends, too.

Scorpio

(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

As soon as you fix whatever is going on at home, you’ll have nothing else immediate to worry about, and you can spend the rest of the week in romance. If you’re single, this might be a good time to initiate something more serious.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Monday is a great day to talk to strangers. You have so much more in common with other people than you realize, and you’re a great conversationalist. You’re going to spend the entire week listening and talking to other people.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Be careful when a money-making scheme is presented to you. Ask a friend who knows a thing or two about finance for advice. In the meantime, spend some time doing something creative. There are all kinds of ways to enjoy life without putting a dent in your wallet.

Aquarius

(Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Monday is going to be the best day you’ve had in a long time. You are funny and persuasive, and the world responds well to those qualities in a person. Among your friends, you are kind of a sage these days. That explains why this weekend people will keep coming to you for guidance and advice.

Pisces

(Feb. 20-March 20)

People adore you and admire your idealism. The more you do things to help other people, the more you learn about yourself. Of course, there are still some mysteries out there, things you don’t know enough about yet, but you’re open-minded and willing to learn.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Your recent successes are going to motivate you to make more ambitious plans for the future. Obviously, you are good at getting what you want. But that begs the question: What do you really want? Where do you want to go? This is going to be a week of exploration and of sharing wild ideas among friends.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Early in the week you may find yourself giving in to someone, simply because you don’t feel like the battle is worth fighting. Share your frustrations with your friends. They’ll help you deal with it. Their humor is perfect for forgetting obnoxious people, and their loyalty to you is absolute.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

You’re lost in the world of ideas Monday. Toward the middle of the week, you might not feel like getting into any serious conversations. You’ll have more personal things on your mind. This weekend you will want nothing more than to see your friends and talk for hours and hours.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Don’t be afraid to think a little outside the box. Sometimes the craziest ideas are the best. Don’t rush. You have all the time in the world. Do something to distract yourself this weekend. Organize a dinner party and invite a couple of people you hardly know. Make things interesting.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Do your own thing. Do some research. Listen to what other people have to say. There’s no sense in bringing your own ego into the mix, and if you play it cool for a while, you’ll have so much more leverage later on.
