December 2013 Horoscope

Monthly Horoscope December:

January: Aquarius January 20 - February 18

The fertility that The Empress brings to us is unmatched. She is the Queen of Mother Earth - Nature herself, able to create life and nurture it. She'll hold court over your love affairs for the month, so it's easy to see that you'll be very, very happy. All your current relationships will grow and prosper, and even the tiniest spark of attraction could turn into something lovely and long-lasting. Smile, and enjoy every moment together.

The Hanged Man in this position indicates that you've been feeling stuck, delayed, and overdue for the praise you deserve due to the quality of the job you've been doing. The good news is that you'll only have to deal with this for a month. Afterward, your superiors will see just how hard you've been working at your task. Basically, this card is asking you to have just a little more patience.

You've done nothing but listen to the advice of others for a very long time, but that's all about to come to an end. The Chariot absolutely demands that you find your own path to your destiny, and that you find the quickest and most direct route by your own means. You'll be guided along the way by signs and subtle messages from the events that happen around you. Pay attention to them.

February: Pisces February 19 - March 19

For the longest time, you seem to have been learning a lesson that's been not at all pleasant: you've been learning not to trust. Now, however, someone is due to enter your life who'll teach you not just to trust, but also to trust yourself again - to trust your intuition, even though you've tried, recently, to do just that, and it hasn't worked out too well. Give it another shot.

For the first time in a long while, it's suddenly become clear to you: what you really want to "do" with the rest of your life. So from now on, even if you need to clear away some things, and perhaps even some relationships that are dear to you, thanks to Justice, you'll now understand that it's time, and that whatever needs to be done is what you'll have the strength and courage to do.

We've all seen people we love pull back from us to spend time alone - to think things through and rely on their own counsel and instincts, rather than on that of anyone else's. It's time for you to do just that. Don't worry about losing your friends or those closest to you. After you've come up with your own answers to pressing questions, you'll be back, renewed and revitalized.

March: Aries March 20 - April 20

The words "If you loved me, you would," are quite powerful - even if you know they're being recited by someone who only wants you to buckle to their will. It's not just you, though. When any of us cares for someone, we want to make them happy. If we're involved with someone who's willing to play on our generosity and kindness, they'll see those traits as weaknesses, not strengths. Resist being exploited.

When The High Priestess appears, it's time to do the right thing in all areas of life. Keep your promises, obey the rules you've agreed to, and respect your elders, especially if they're in charge of your paycheck! You'll get exactly what you give out - and maybe even a bit more, really, with this powerful Lady on your side for the entire month. Just cross your t's and dot your i's.

The good news - no, the absolute best news you could possibly hear now - is that after all this time of searching for who you really are, you're about to "find yourself." Now, that may sound silly to others, but you know what it means. You've been trying over several months, if not longer, to find out who you really are, but recent events have proven to you that you already know!

April: Taurus April 21 - May 21

Whether you're single or attached, The Star's mission is to help you find someone with whom you'll be deliciously happy. More importantly, you'll also be able to trust this person or persons, which will make your life richer and happier. No matter what you've gone through in the past, or how many times you've been betrayed, look to the future. The Star is with you, so it's going to be a wonderful month.

When The World appears, you've received a very important indication that you've done the right thing, been in the right place at the right time, and chosen the right occupation. Of course, you'll already know all that, by the feelings you have, but also by the happiness and contentment you're already experiencing within your current occupation. If you're not satisfied, don't despair. Something you never expected will come along, when you least expect it.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

May: Gemini May 22 - June 21

Ready for a surprise? You'd better be! You'll soon find yourself attracted to someone you'd never, ever pictured yourself with. Does that mean it will last forever? When The Fool is in the picture, that really doesn't matter. What's important is that you take the new experiences that life tosses your way and have some fun with them! After all, isn't it time for you to let go and laugh?

The Magician represents skill, wisdom, and the ability to use those qualities to get what you want. This month, then, go after whatever it is that you know you deserve. You have a knack for something, and you love to do it. If you're already working in that field, you can expect all good things to come your way now - recognition, for starters. If you're still searching, don't be shy about it.

Lately, you've had the urge to get to know the person on the inside. With The Empress currently influencing your month, everything you've been craving can absolutely come to fruition. That's if you can keep up your energy level by taking care of yourself as you care for others. Simply put, eat well, tone down on excess, and rest whenever you can. Listen to your body and your spirit will grow stronger.

June: Cancer June 22 - July 22

Emotions are a funny thing. They can aid us, acting like "antennae" when we're uncertain about the outcome of a situation (in the intellectual sense), and end up guiding us toward the most positive outcome. On the other hand, they can sway us, that is, if we let our hearts rule our minds when we really know they shouldn't. The appearance of The Moon, however, means that it's your heart you should heed. Trust it above all else.

The appearance of the card of Judgement means that you're in the midst of making some very serious decisions, at least one which will involve what you want to do with the rest of your life. If you already have a career, then you'll likely spend the rest of the month tending to it carefully, much as a gardener tends to their garden. If you're still looking for your life's path, be prepared! It's about to be offered to you!

This card asks that you spend the next month working on one particular inner task: you must cut away anything in your life that makes you feel unsure about yourself, whether it's a personal relationship, a job that makes you unhappy or a lifestyle that no longer suits you. If a health issue has been nagging at you, seek out medical advice and solve this problem.

July: Leo: July 23 - August 23

Ever notice that the quality we most admire in movies - especially in the leading man or leading lady - is always perseverance? Well, that's another word for Strength, so when this card arrives in the department of love, you're being asked - no, actually, told - to hang in there, to never give up, and to let the person you care for know that you'll always be there for them.

When The World appears at this moment in time, you can righteously spend many a happy moment enjoying the fruits of your success - whether or not they've actually arrived. You know that what you've done is about to bring you rewards, so why wait? Plan the parties, send out the invitations, and be sure to stay in contact with the influential people who've already agreed to help you announce your name.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

August: Virgo August 24 - September 23

When the card of Death arrives, something is definitely coming to an end. The good news is that while most folks see this and fear that their life, or someone else's, is what's coming to an end, that's not at all what this card signifies. Contrary to popular opinion, what Death truly indicates is simply change. Granted, it will be a tremendous change - but change, after all, is what life is all about. Don't be scared. Be invigorated.

It's time for you to receive an offer than can bode nothing for you but the best - so why hesitate? Well, if you have a trusted friend who can look over the "fine print" for you, so much the better. If you're not quite sure, make sure - then enter into the enterprise with all good faith, positive that the end result will make you into a "star" yourself!

Remember having nightmares when you were little, and only being reassured by climbing into your parents' bed? Well, when this card turns up in this position, no matter what age you are, it indicates that you're feeling the same thing - but in "grown-up terms." Your mission now is to find someone or something that makes you feel safe. The thing is, it will only come from within. Dig deep!

September: Libra September 24 - October 23

Up until now, you may have thought that you've allowed yourself to be led along by whatever - or whomever - seemed to be "in charge" of you, and of the most important aspects of your love-life. A recent event, however, will prove to you that you aren't just a spectator - you're in charge of how it all turns out, and the result pertains most especially to how you deal with your partner.

For the first time in a long while, it's suddenly become clear to you: what you really want to "do" with the rest of your life. So from now on, even if you need to clear away some things, and perhaps even some relationships that are dear to you, thanks to Justice, you'll now understand that it's time, and that whatever needs to be done is what you'll have the strength and courage to do.

The Emperor doesn't take kindly to anyone who slacks off, becomes lazy or decides not to take responsibility for their own actions. If you do any of that now, this card's influence will bring the heavy hand of reality down upon you - there's no doubt about that. If you want to feel good about yourself this month, take care of what needs to be done, and don't procrastinate.

October: Scorpio October 24 - November 22

It's all too easy to talk someone into doing exactly what you want them to do when this card appears. It's a given that you'll get exactly what you want from them - you're quite powerful now. The question, however, is this: Do you want what you want so much that you're willing to lose your principles to have it? Think that over before you begin manipulating someone whose respect you really cherish.

No matter what you're assigned to do at work this month, when The Sun shows up in this position, there's no doubt that you'll enjoy it. You may enjoy it so much, in fact, that your self-confidence grows as much as your reputation for being able to do not just your own job, but that of at least two others. Your one warning: don't spoil your superiors, who'll come to expect nothing less than what you've been providing.

Every time the card of Temperance is mentioned, the word "moderation" is also referred to. They represent the same thing: a state of equilibrium and balance, a condition of harmony with all the people and events in your life. You have no wish to go overboard in any department, anyway. In fact, you're perfectly happy to cut back on anything at all that's not making you feel peaceful and calm.

November: Sagittarius November 23 - December 21

It's all too easy to talk someone into doing exactly what you want them to do when this card appears. It's a given that you'll get exactly what you want from them - you're quite powerful now. The question, however, is this: Do you want what you want so much that you're willing to lose your principles to have it? Think that over before you begin manipulating someone whose respect you really cherish.

For the first time in a long while, it's suddenly become clear to you: what you really want to "do" with the rest of your life. So from now on, even if you need to clear away some things, and perhaps even some relationships that are dear to you, thanks to Justice, you'll now understand that it's time, and that whatever needs to be done is what you'll have the strength and courage to do.

The High Priestess bodes a time of inner consciousness, of looking inside ourselves to find the answers we seek, possibly by asking questions of others - and there's no reason to be ashamed of that. Listen to the advice that dear ones offer, but also pay attention to yourself - to your dreams, your feelings of déjà vu, and to the voice of your intuition. You have spirit guides and angels guiding you. Pay heed.

December: Capricorn December 22 - January 19

You'll soon find yourself attracted to someone you'd never, ever pictured yourself with. Does that mean it will last forever? When The Fool is in the picture that really doesn't matter. What's important is that you take the new experiences that life tosses your way and have some fun with them! After all, isn't it time for you to let go and laugh?

No matter what you're assigned to do at work this month, when The Sun shows up in this position, there's no doubt that you'll enjoy it.

Your one warning: don't spoil your superiors, who'll come to expect nothing less than what you've been providing.

You've heard the expression, "It's All Good." Well, that's exactly what's on the agenda for you now, regardless of who you contact, what you ask for, or however you act. It just can't get any better, as long as you take the time to actually ask the Universe for what you want, and be specific. Then there's absolutely no way for you to fail. Put your aims forward with nothing but success in mind!

November 2013 Horoscope

November 2013 Horoscope

Monthly Horoscope November:

January: Aquarius January 20 - February 18

This month, you are wonderfully optimistic about matters of the heart! Lifted by the auspicious influence of the Sun and the Chariot, you’re making big steps forward in your romantic quest. If you’re single, you may find your soul mate today, and if you’re a couple you will re-discover your intimacy. Everything that has to do with love and emotions is under a benign influence today. So seize the opportunity – be passionate! In your professional life, the Sun’s shining for everyone, even for you, whose representative today is the card of Death! You’re just about to enter into a phase of reconstruction which will take you straight to success. Make sure you nurture that feeling of self-confidence that’s stirring in you – for it will ensure success with your business activities and will gain you recognition from your partners or clients, as the case may be.

February: Pisces February 19 - March 19

Love is in the air this month! Under the influence of the World and the Empress, you want just one thing: to surround yourself with as many people as possible and flirt with one and all! You know this kind of day only happens once in a while, so you're ready to meet someone's across a crowded room and then, who knows?  Professionally, you're ready to slam the door of the Tower that employs you and set off to conquer the new World! Your current situation doesn't allow you to fulfill your potential, and you are now becoming aware of this. You're dreaming of travel, study, and different professional experiences. Row your boat in the direction that draws you, for any move forward right now will be a positive one.

March: Aries March 20 - April 20

There's a hint of a trial of strength in your emotional relationships this month. The association of the Emperor and the Tower suggests a power struggle that can't be resolved. You're just as obstinate and pig-headed as your partne, and neither of you is prepared to compromise. Try and make an effort, because there's no guarantee you'll win this one. In your professional life, the Magician and the Emperor are suggesting that you act with authority and vigor! You have the necessary armory to make things evolve in the way you want to. Thanks to your original ideas and you your know-how in your particular area it should be fairly easy for you to take control of things during today.

April: Taurus April 21 - May 21

You’re going to be tempted to retreat in your own little shell this month in order to engage in a bit of soul-searching. This introspective mood is prompted by the combined influence of the High Priestess and the Sun. In a way, that’s really, rather a shame: It would actually be in your best interest to open yourself up to the outside world, to share the wealth of your imagination and vision with your professional environment. Come out of your reserve; put aside your typical modesty and self-denigration. You have so much to offer. At work, success may seem to be a long time coming, but you’re right to put thought before action. The World and the High Priestess together show you the virtue of taking things slowly. By moving at your own pace, without being too hasty or wasting effort doing several things at once, you’ve a better chance of consolidating your gains and reinforcing your position. Over the long term, your career will develop well.

May: Gemini May 22 - June 21

Your heart bleeds this month, and you’re finding it difficult to smile. The combination of the Sun and Death is asking you to draw a line under a painful situation that’s been dragging on for too long – a relationship that’s ended badly, a friend that’s gone away… whatever it is, you’ll have to get over it and believe in a happier future if you want to get that smile back on your face.  At work, success is in the cards! The Fool and (especially!) the Sun hand it to you on a silver platter, with all the moral or financial reward that comes with it. It’s your moment of glory – make the most of it! It's true that you’re full of great ideas for resolving tricky problems or introducing innovative ways of working. Well done!

June: Cancer June 22 - July 22

You'll be feeling a bit on edge this month. The Moon that represents your state of mind is indicating a heightened sensitivity and a fertile imagination, and a romantic vision of love. The Empress is the sign of personal fulfillment, and the marriage of these two cards indicates an emotional life that is full of mutual and true feelings. Follow your intuition, it won't let you down. Diplomacy isn't your strong point at work, as indicated by the alliance of the Tower and the Empress. Don't try and negotiate either, as your inflexible approach will work against you. But if you can overcome the initial obstacle, you'll probably manage to establish a constructive dialog. That said, there's no hurry, so just concentrate on the job in hand and stay away from meetings with clients.

July: Leo: July 23 - August 23

You’ve no time for subtlety in your love life this month! With the Devil and the Emperor watching over you, you’re guided above all by passion and by the power to dominate those around you… Your sex drive’s cranked up several notches and in your current possessive, jealous frame of mind, no one is safe! Watch out, because this impulsive and impatient behavior could result in a quarrel with your partner or a misunderstanding with others close to you… In the professional sphere, the Lovers put you in a position of weakness and uncertainty, making you vulnerable to certain unscrupulous people who may want to take advantage. Don’t trust the Devil and his consorts. They will try to mislead you with all sorts of tricks and schemes. Don’t fall for smooth talkers and people who stick their nose a little too far into your business. You would be well advised to shut the door on those who might profit from your naivety through their powers of seduction...

August: Virgo August 24 - September 23

The fact that you are willing to listen to what others have to say makes this an agreeable month for everyone you come into contact with. You are the friend to whom others turn with their problems and their confidences, you are the parent who comforts the children and the lover that is also the closest of friends – such is the degree of intimacy. The alliance between the Emperor and Temperance promises an emotional balance that is not marred by any false notes. Professionally speaking, you’re not feeling too confident of yourself this month, as the Lovers plant a seed of doubt into everything you undertake. Thankfully the Emperor, who sets the general ambiance, radiates an air of stability and reassurance. You therefore don’t need to worry, because with his benevolent influence, you can build your day on very solid foundations. Just forget about your anxieties and get on with things!

September: Libra September 24 - October 23

Your discipline and your sense of responsibility find a favorable echo with the people who are close to you this month. The force that the Pope exerts is beneficial, and under his influence your loved ones understand your need for security and are doing everything to reassure you as much as they can. By bringing you concrete proof of their love they are contributing to dispel your doubts and your anxieties on this month. In the work arena, you will be able to prove your outstanding skills as a negotiator. Your ability to analyze situations rigorously and objectively will help you understand even complex issues very quickly. It is therefore mostly to you that people turn when they need advice on anything. You’re developing into some sort of guru!

October: Scorpio October 24 - November 22

It's a rather tumultuous month with regard to your love life … The Lovers cast doubts on your success in the emotional realm, while the Fool puts radical ideas about personal freedom into your head. And the result: if you are in a committed relationship, you show a tendency to run away from the responsibilities and the commitment you have towards your partner, and if you are single, you become very, very flirtatious. Be careful not to upset those that are closest to you... In the professional sphere, the Fool heralds numerous difficulties linked to someone or other’s excessively casual attitude or bad management. With the Hanged Man representing you, in the face of these problems your first inclination is to flee all responsibilities and withdraw into yourself to consider the situation. You don’t have enough courage or faith in yourself to deal with whatever may come your way…

November: Sagittarius November 23 - December 21

You’re a bit shy this month in matters of the heart … The Magician and the High Priestess are both holding you back rather than encouraging you to be forthright when it comes to love. Although there is no reason to worry about your shyness, it is true to say that this will not be the best day for personal expansion. Professionally speaking, you are going through a period of reflection, which might cause you to withdraw into yourself somewhat. With the Star and the High Priestess watching over you, it could well be that you decide to keep your office door shut today. Your projects are at a critical stage right now, and you are only too aware that rigor and patience are now needed. It would be sensible to explain this to your colleagues or bosses, since your inactivity might seem like laziness to the uninitiated.

December: Capricorn December 22 - January 19

This month is a time for happiness if you live with a partner! If you're alone at the moment, then things are a bit more complicated. The Moon and the Empress are introducing some troubled emotions into your relationships. You have a tendency to sidestep the issue and not speak your mind. As a result, you get very frustrated, and if you don't work out how to deal with this, you're likely to get very depressed.  The alliance between Judgment and the Moon makes things seem rather hazy at work. You find it difficult to see your projects in perspective and feel the need to take stock and weigh up the various options open to you. Your cards favor artistic and creative activities; use your imagination to solve problems.

October 2013 Horoscope

Monthly Horoscope October:

January: Aquarius January 20 - February 18

Someone new and quite exciting may be due to make quite the entry into your life - and it will be a grand entry indeed! In fact, you may not know what to do with this fiery, expansive soul. If they sweep you off your feet and it's just what you've been looking for, so much the better! If they seem just a bit too "dangerous" for your liking, then take your time getting to know them.

The Magician represents skill, wisdom, and the ability to use those qualities to get what you want. This month, then, go after whatever it is that you know you deserve. You have a knack for something, and you love to do it. If you're already working in that field, you can expect all good things to come your way now - recognition, for starters. If you're still searching, don't be shy about it.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

February: Pisces February 19 - March 19

Emotions are a funny thing. They can aid us, acting like "antennae" when we're uncertain about the outcome of a situation (in the intellectual sense), and end up guiding us toward the most positive outcome. On the other hand, they can sway us, that is, if we let our hearts rule our minds when we really know they shouldn't. The appearance of The Moon, however, means that it's your heart you should heed. Trust it above all else.

For a while now, you've been mulling over a career matter - and over the coming month, you know you'll have to make a decision. Try your best to settle on something you can live with, not just for now, but for some time to come. Once that's done, you'll be able to relax - and even better, to lead with authority, which is exactly the position you know you deserve.

Every now and then, we all feel happy to just be us. It's not common, so when it occurs, be grateful. It's your turn to be grateful now, because you'll enjoy that feeling for the next month, thanks to the card of The World, an indication that no matter what you've been doing over the past few weeks, months, or years, you've definitely been doing it right.

March: Aries March 20 - April 20

It's time for you to take on the qualities of introversion, seclusion, and thinking seriously about the reality of a romantic situation. If you're not happy or satisfied, The Hermit can mean a relationship is about to end, or has really already ended. More so, however, it can indicate a time of increased trust, when two people actually need to allow each other time to be alone, without any unfounded suspicions.

There's something going on at work that isn't quite right, and you haven't been sure about what to do. Now that The High Priestess has appeared, however, the month's path has become very clear. You know exactly what's required of you, both by your conscience and by the trust that co-workers and superiors have placed in you. Don't destroy that trust, no matter how tough it is to do the right thing.

Inside each and every one of us, there's a "dark passenger" who's willing to do absolutely anything to get what they want. It's not an attractive trait, but it's there. When The Devil appears, our job is to resist the worst in us, and to resist the worst in others as well. Otherwise, we'll wake up ashamed one day - the worst feeling in the world. Call a friend if you need to talk.

April: Taurus April 21 - May 21

You're about to enter a time of introspection with regard to a certain partnership matter. That is, if you see something unusual or uncertain happening in your current relationship, you'll need some time alone to think things over. If your partner really knows you and cares for you, they'll give you this time - with their blessings. If not, you may need to add that to the list of matters to consider about your relationship.

Over the next month, you may need to seriously reconsider the type of work you've been doing or the position you've had within the company - because something is definitely going to change. If you think about it honestly, you'll realize that all this really isn't much of a surprise. In fact, you've probably been expecting it, and one some levels, looking forward to it. Think of the possibilities now available to you!

Remember having nightmares when you were little, and only being reassured by climbing into your parents' bed? Well, when this card turns up in this position, no matter what age you are, it indicates that you're feeling the same thing - but in "grown-up terms." Your mission now is to find someone or something that makes you feel safe. The thing is, it will only come from within. Dig deep!

May: Gemini May 22 - June 21

The card of Judgement indicates the ending of several matters - the happy ending, that is. First of all, and most important to you, will be the fact that you'll actually be ready to come together with "another" to find your perfect match - the kind of person that you deserve. Don't be doubtful, or worry that they're not quite right. Trust your instincts and know that your long trek is over.

The Empress often turns up when we're about to start a whole new career or take a step up the ladder of success. If you've been thinking of taking a leap, this is definitely the month to do it. Be imaginative, and unafraid to try something new, especially if it will catch the attention of your higher-ups. Your rewards may arrive quite quickly, but a major change in your routine could accompany them. Don't worry.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

June: Cancer June 22 - July 22

Someone is courting you - or at least, trying to. If you've been putting them off, there's a reason for it. The High Priestess will gently guide you as you try to decide what to do. The keyword in her magic, however, is "gently." Don't rush, don't allow yourself to be rushed, and if you hear the words, "If you loved me, you would," take warning. If they loved you, they'd never try to push you.

When The World appears, you've received a very important indication that you've done the right thing, been in the right place at the right time, and chosen the right occupation. Of course, you'll already know all that, by the feelings you have, but also by the happiness and contentment you're already experiencing within your current occupation. If you're not satisfied, don't despair. Something you never expected will come along, when you least expect it.

We all know someone who we think of or refer to as a Hermit - someone who, more often than not, seems to prefer their own company to that of others. No matter how sociable you are, then, don't be surprised if you choose to spend time alone now - much to the disappointment of your friends! Be kind. Explain to them that you need some time alone to think a certain matter through.

July: Leo: July 23 - August 23

Do you feel "stuck" or "imprisoned" in your current situation? If you're attached but unhappy and wishing to leave the relationship, stop stalling. If you're single, figure out how to find someone new who suits you. Even if you don't have many opportunities to get out and meet them, don't accept any excuses from yourself. If you really want to find love, you'll find a way.

When The Wheel of Fortune appears, no matter how much at the mercy of the Powers That Be you feel, you have much more to do with the outcome of the matter than you can imagine. In fact, your attitude has absolutely everything to do with the end result of the problem or dilemma. For that reason, it's time for you to take control of what's going on - so grab the steering wheel and do not let go.

There are many types of strength: the physical, of course, the emotional, and the spiritual, to name a few. When the card of Strength appears, you will be asked to dig deep and show at least one type of personal power over the next month. If you've been fighting a battle of any kind, your adversary stands no chance of winning now - provided that you determine never to give up!

August: Virgo August 24 - September 23

Times are changing, and whether the outcome is for the better or worse is up to you. Remember that everything is in your hands - the ends as well as the means. If you decide, then, along the course of a current relationship, that you are unhappy, or that you want more out of a partnership, take the bull by the horns and end it or steer it in a new direction.

It's time to take the initiative, so put together a resume that truly represents you and get it out there. The Magician will be more than happy to help. In fact, the presence of this card means that you can be your own Magician, especially in the department of communications. Don't hesitate to toot your own horn. You know you're good at what you do, so why not brag about it?

There's no doubt that your physical health will either improve or stay as robust as ever now. When The Sun appears, it's hard to avoid either happy condition - and why would you want to? Of course, the one thing you will need to avoid is the tendency to overdo, in all departments, from food and drink to staying up late, chatting with a lover - or soon-to-be lover. Try your best to moderate.

September: Libra September 24 - October 23

Do you feel "stuck" or "imprisoned" in your current situation? If you're attached but unhappy and wishing to leave the relationship, stop stalling. If you're single, figure out how to find someone new who suits you. Even if you don't have many opportunities to get out and meet them, don't accept any excuses from yourself. If you really want to find love, you'll find a way.

When The Tower appears in this position, it shows that you're just dying to get away from a situation that's keeping you from realizing your full potential. You need to get away from the circumstances that are holding you back, whether it's a higher-up who's been trying to keep you under their thumb or a co-worker who's been stealing your thunder. Don't let it happen. It's not healthy for you, and you definitely don't need it.

Everyone has a romantic, dreamy side to their personality. The best part of The Moon is that it arrives to give us a chance to escape "real life" and be who we are, rather than what life and other people expect us to be. Lucky you. It's time for you to escape - with a lover! Remember, though, that this won't be a "Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz" journey - this will be a passionate distraction!

October: Scorpio October 24 - November 22

When The Moon appears, it's time for all of us to experience the emotional side of ourselves. Big Time. In your case, you're due for a month's worth of fantasies, so enjoy it. It might be about castles. It might be about the Roaring 20s. It might also be about the current time, with someone you know right now. Regardless, enjoy it. It's time to forget reality and enjoy the deeper, more enchanting side of life.

The Hanged Man in this position indicates that you've been feeling stuck, delayed, and overdue for the praise you deserve due to the quality of the job you've been doing. The good news is that you'll only have to deal with this for a month. Afterward, your superiors will see just how hard you've been working at your task. Basically, this card is asking you to have just a little more patience.

The Magician is a very intellectual card. It represents the ability to use our own personal brand of wisdom to keep ourselves healthy and happy - on all levels, from the physical to the mental to the spiritual. Your mission this month is to keep yourself strong in all those categories. Take care of your body, your mind, and your spirit in the best ways that you possibly can.

November: Sagittarius November 23 - December 21

Up until now, you may have thought that you've allowed yourself to be led along by whatever - or whomever - seemed to be "in charge" of you, and of the most important aspects of your love-life. A recent event, however, will prove to you that you aren't just a spectator - you're in charge of how it all turns out, and the result pertains most especially to how you deal with your partner.

The appearance of The Empress is an indication of abundance - of all good things about to come your way. The only part you really must play in this is to take advantage of the generous gifts this great mother will send without becoming greedy or selfish. In the department of career, then, your best bet this month is to share the wealth, literally. Let others know how much you appreciate their efforts on your behalf.

The appearance of The Tower points to something that humans just don't care much for: change. Big change. Total change. The problem is that while we can deal with change, we like for it to happen on our own terms, which isn't usually how it happens. So, when you see this card, it's time to prepare yourself for anything and everything, and remember that whatever happens is part of The Grand Scheme. Cooperate.

December: Capricorn December 22 - January 19

The World brings unity and strength. When this card appears, it's to let you know that you're at the very end of long journey. When it pertains to love, it likely means that you're about to make a major move - to cohabitate, marry, or have a child with someone you adore. If you're not yet romantically entangled, it may also mean that you're about to either ask or answer such a question. Prepare yourself - happily!

The card of Strength in this position absolutely demands that you dedicate yourself completely to the task at hand. Now, that may mean that you need to cancel all your social plans and get down to business, or it may mean that you need to delegate with an eye toward the success of the entire project, so that all parties concerned emerge with a "piece of the pie." Regardless, keep your eye on the prize!

There's no doubt that your physical health will either improve or stay as robust as ever now. When The Sun appears, it's hard to avoid either happy condition - and why would you want to? Of course, the one thing you will need to avoid is the tendency to overdo, in all departments, from food and drink to staying up late, chatting with a lover - or soon-to-be lover. Try your best to moderate.
