VIRGO
(Aug. 23–Sept. 22)

Jupiter stays in a sign for a year. It enters Virgo this month. Considered lucky by astrologers, it actually tests your knowledge. What you know pays off, and expansion is the natural outcome. You are as strong as your support system. Who are your vendors or subcontractors? Account for your accounting, dig in, and work with professionals.

 

LIBRA
(Sept. 23–Oct. 22)

Jupiter will be in a spiritual part of your cycle for the next year. Your greatest tool now is the expansion of your consciousness. You will be healed by conquering a nagging voice within that undercuts your confidence. Learn the art of Zen reactions. Knowing the effects will strengthen your reserve and positive attitude. Be your own therapist. Study the mind.

 

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23–Nov. 21)

This is a time of effective networking. Your natural skill is resourcefulness. Alliances have connections to your progress. You are two contacts from a major goal; your job is to find them. Well-honed instincts will uncover what’s real. Listen more than speak, and solve a mystery that will no longer impede growth. Letting go of control gives personal power a boost.

 

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

In order to know it all, you consider all options. This is called data collection. At some point it must be applied, and that requires narrowing the focus to complete the mission. Your brilliance is dimmed by a refusal to commit. Choose mastery in a crucial area.

 

CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22–Jan. 19)

A major goal for the goat is delegation. Because you struggle with trust, you withhold energy for movement. At the core of this dilemma is trust in yourself. Know that you made the right choices in identifying your support system. They are qualified. Let them do the job.

 

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20–Feb. 18)

Have no expectations of alliances now. You cannot dictate where your good abides. Gifts manifest from unlikely sources. You must let go of an emotional situation of perpetual pain. The only control you have is over your own reactions. Kill it, because it’s killing you. A deep attachment makes no sense. It has outlived its time. Repurpose energy.

 

PISCES
(Feb. 19–March 20)

Your service to others now manifests as service to you. You are the chief spiritual officer of the group, and now they give back. The Rev. Catherine Ponder of Palm Desert wrote a small book, Open Your Mind to Receive. This mindset will serve you well. Read it.

 

ARIES
(March 21-April 19)

Energy biorhythms have dipped in the past few weeks, but you are on an upswing. A domestic reorganization nags at your subconscious. Nike says to the battering ram, “Just do it.” You are renewed when you have this new order; new options will manifest. Fire dominance approaches. Use reconnaissance skills to uncover vital information. Go alone.

 

TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)

Leo types are auspicious now. Overlook the pretension and realize you can utilize fire to dispel inertia. Jupiter gets earthy on the 11th, ushering in 12 months of material growth. It’s Virgo, so your most powerful tools are accounting, systems, and service. This next year provides foundation for your empire. Delayed gratification returns a hundredfold.

 

GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)

Options proliferate. Opportunities and potential abound. The manifestation: hot air. In this triple mental cycle, you have gone back to school. This is great, but don’t declare a major. Use the present enthusiasm to fuel a future project, and know your main focus is data collection. Answers are found in details. See it all as a spreadsheet.

 

CANCER
(June 21–July 22)

Here comes Jupiter in earth, a year that can uplift the curmudgeonly crab. The posturing of egos dims as you begin to make sense and order of a dream. Create your own system from notes on the experience. Create a valuable tool. Destroy in order to rebuild ambitious plans. A viable new perspective arises from ashes of a lost cause.

 

LEO
(July 23–Aug. 22)

Jupiter has given you a lecture year. The last months have provided fantastic theories for growth. The next year will be the lab. You must apply new concepts to the project. Trial and error can be momentarily uncomfortable, but you are building a foundation for the big picture. Know everybody’s job description, and note small details. Find strong support.
