Horoscopes

Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

ARIES: You may struggle mentally to maintain equilibrium between desires and what is actually possible. It’s good to study the subject of sacrifice. At the center of sacrifice is love, a paradox. Love and sacrifice are the same. You may feel that you’ve become the warrior. You have.
TAURUS: You assess all relationships in terms of value. Something you always do, but more so. Simultaneously, it’s most important to assess the values you offer and if there is more you can give of right relations through intentions for goodwill. You offer the goodness of yourself in relationships. Goodness is a purity and inner quality.
GEMINI: Tend to all things great, small and necessary in daily life with deepest attention. Observe all habits, agendas and how you serve yourself, your work, your environments and all others in your worlds. We evolve step-by-step, beginning with tending to our physical, then emotional, then mental bodies.
CANCER: You reassess goals and aspirations the next two months. The Earth (soil, trees, plants) is very important for your well-being. Make sure you’re out and about in the sun. Its radiations strengthen your heart and mind, refocus your enthusiasm, allowing calm practicality to emerge.
You live the life of ideals.
LEO: Ponder upon how you want to be seen, known and recognized in the world and in the context of helping to build the new culture and civilization — your work now. You are to nurture the new era at its foundational stages because you are a leader. Begin your garden soon.
VIRGO: Past friends, relationships, values, siblings, family and past resources should be renewed and contacted. They are valuable for reasons revealed in the future. A certain group, also from the past, holds great love/wisdom. They not only hold out to you technical possibilities but a way to enter into the life stream of humanity through study and understanding of the mysteries. You should be studying your transits/astrology.
LIBRA: In the next month, your self value will be considered. Perhaps this is difficult? If so make lists of all your gifts, abilities, kindnesses, good associations, good deeds, thoughts, ideas and plans. Here you will find your value.
Place these lists on your walls to review them each day.
SCORPIO: Things go into hiding — especially you. Or you find someone else in hiding, asking them for assistance. There’s actually someone very valuable to you. You must be in contact with them. They’re knowledgeable and have the skills needed for your next creative stages and for humanity’s future.
SAGITTARIUS: Life becomes subtler, slightly different, deep feelings of compassion awaken. Tend to debts and then give (tithe) to charity. Some examples of giving to those in need: St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Catholic Charities, Doctors Without Borders, UNESCO and Red Cross.
CAPRICORN: Things seem crazy at times, moving toward out-of-control. Eliminate all not absolutely necessary. A complete new identity is making itself apparent. This identity is yourself, and you must begin the necessary changes, lest the river of life float you downstream without a lifeboat.
AQUARIUS: You’re neither sentimental nor emotional. You see the need for nourishment of self and others, realizing one source of nourishment is financial security. Visualize.
Lay out each room, be as “green” as possible, see those you love living close by, include a workspace for yourself, for the arts and for preparing pure foods.
PISCES: A return to a previous, perhaps put-aside creative work allows you to redefine, reassess and reaffirm its importance to your life’s work. There’s a renewed fire in the mind, calling you to two things: amusement and a sense of play, much missed in your life for a long, long while.
