As our time with Virgo wanes we may see ourselves seeking balance. With Libra waiting in the wings we might welcome this theme into our lives. Saturn, the great taskmaster, lingers at the edges of Libra where it has visited since October of 2009. This long and somewhat onerous visit may have been slow and arduous, but the rewards may come with its arrival into Scorpio in the first week of October. Saturn may be demanding but we are always glad when the dust settles and we have done our work. Accountability is the theme. Are the politicians accountable? Have they provided transparency? Are we satisfied? Perhaps the cure is worse than the disease. Maybe what is hidden from view is far worse than the doubts that linger with non-disclosure. That, is an interesting take on hidden records isn't it? Sooner or later the facts will emerge. How do we make this an issue?

Aries  (March 21 - April 19) 

Watch your tongue. Although you may have a marvelous quirk for spontaneity and impulse, be certain you use that talent in the most pure form imaginable. What does that look like? How about a speech or a public appearance of some sort? Use the intensity wisely and the potential will propel you.

You will have powerful energy available to you to leave an impression on those you work with. Service, in the best form and can highlight your abilities to be a team player. If you can take advantage of that spotlight, you can shine. Take the high road and rest on your laurels.

The potential for flashes of creative brilliance are quite apparent as the energy of the time falls clearly in your house of work. If you have innovative ideas this would be the week to let them be known. Your intellect may be on fire and you need to give it more air.

You may have a rare opportunity to glow as your ability to present yourself arises out of nowhere. You may be asked to speak about a topic near and dear to you. Because of that intimate knowledge you are able to deliver with conviction and candor. Pride can lift you above it all.

Financial aid may appear from unlikely outside sources. Timing may be invaluable as you may bump up against fiscal deadlines. Out of the blue you may get the boost to tie all of your loose ends together. A sigh of relief may be all that is required of you. How nice!

What does your partner have up their sleeve? A surprise from your significant other may leave you bewildered, but not without a response. Your ability to express yourself may fan a fire that could take off rather quickly, so write down your thoughts before you say them. The pause will definitely help.

You may be faced with creative collaboration that surprises you and your team. Such a revelation may leave you scrambling, but it may also find you rising to the occasion. In a blast of creativity you may be able to pull off an incredible task under an extremely tight deadline. Time for adrenaline.

What surprises could unfold as your career draws your full attention? Is an unlikely client willing to sign on the dotted line? Are you drawn away from the job by familial responsibilities? Can you juggle both ends of your daily spectrum without stumbling? This may be Boy Scout motto week: Be prepared.

Surprises may arise from your financial back-up. It might be that a student grant or loan comes in and you are ready to sail forward. Education and travel are favored during this period so it may come as no surprise if you get that exposure and much-needed financial helping hand.

The potential for spontaneity and unexpected support may come from an outside source. It may be that you filed for a grant and completely forgot about it. You may be receiving news this week so check your email and see what happens. Unexpected money. What does that mean? More or less?

You may be feeling your oats this week and determined to make a statement of some sort. A pronouncement of your intentions may come as a surprise to some of your closest friends, so go easy on them and try to tone it down a notch. You'll be glad you did.
