Weekly Astrological Horoscope: September 1st to September 7th 2012

Aries

The planets align this week to give you a boost of energy, leaving you feeling healthier than you have in weeks. You can get a lot accomplished if you put this energy to good use. At work, tackle a project that might have intimidated you. At home, straighten out a problem that's been plaguing you for weeks.

Taurus

You've been waiting for a boost in your confidence and this week you can get it. Take advantage of your new-found belief in yourself and step outside your comfort zone. Your practical side may encourage you to keep to what you know, but you'll miss out on a great opportunity if you don't take a chance.

Gemini

You've had some whimsical thoughts flitting around your brain lately, but very little has come of them. This can change this week as Mercury encourages your thoughts and ideas to take real form. Put your plans into action this week before this uplifting time passes. Also, keep you eyes open for an opportunity that arises out of one of your more off-the-wall ideas.

Cancer

You may have felt as if no one was hearing you lately, Cancer. That, however, is about to change as the planets line up. Your ability to communicate clearly and effectively is strengthened, so say what you need to say right now. People are listening, even if you think they're ignoring you.

Leo

A time of great inspiration and motivation comes to an end this week. But you still have a couple days to take advantage of the energy that's been helping you out over the last few weeks. Put these energies to work and finish a project that you started a while back. It will pay off more than you can imagine.

Virgo

Things can start moving quickly this week and you may be unprepared for it. However, you are fully capable of dealing with those things which will be thrown at you over the course of the week. Keep your wits about you and you week will move quickly but smoothly.

Libra

All your long term planning can finally start to pay off this week. Projects that you started weeks, months, or even years ago can finally come to fruition. While this is happening, it might also be time to get other projects into motion. They may not give you any results right now, but in the future the return will be well worth the investment.

Scorpio

You'll be ready to face the world with the positive energies flowing through your astrological sign this week. You'll feel great about yourself as you accomplish more than you thought possible, but don't be too focused on yourself. Someone close to you does not appreciate being ignored.

Sagittarius

Work can go well this week, so make the most of it. You're popularity might not be at a high point, but you still garner respect for your abilities and your quick thinking. At home, you might feel the urge to change things that have stayed the same for years. But give yourself a few weeks before making any drastic changes. You might decide you like things just the way they are.

Capricorn

You might feel secure financially this week, but guard against overspending. You don't have quite as much money as you think you do. But if you can keep a handle on your finances, you'll find that business opportunities may come flying toward you. Look before you leap and ask questions before you commit yourself.

Aquarius

There's something going on in your business or career sector this week. You can really get ahead and stand to advance considerably in the weeks to come. But don't get overconfident. The moment you start thinking you have all the answers is the moment you'll fail spectacularly.

Pisces

It will be easy to feel unnecessarily competitive as things come to a head this week. But relax and try to just let things happen. Getting competitive won't change anything and it may drive away those you depend on. Sit back and go with the flow.

Weekly Astrological Horoscope: August 25th to August 31st 2012

Aries

You might have a health problem crop up this week. Explore all treatment options, but make sure you talk to your own physician before beginning any course of treatment or you might come to regret it. Also, a friend can is hiding something that you need to know. He or she will tell you willingly, but you have to ask.

Taurus

Mars is having some interesting effects this week, so get ready for a burst of energy. Socially this will be a time for you to flower. But beware of anyone looking to make friends too quickly. A new friend may be looking to take advantage of you, so keep your eyes and mind open.

Gemini

This week will be a little muddled, so make sure you have all the information available before making any firm decisions. This is especially true when helping a family member in trouble. For whatever reason, they cannot or will not be completely open with you, so helping will present a bit of a challenge. But with the Sun and Mars doing their thing, you'll figure it out.

Cancer

If you're hoping to travel soon, pay attention to every detail and book things far in advance. Then confirm all your bookings. If you don't, you'll soon wish you had. Details are also important in all financial details as the Sun and Neptune hash things out. But if you are diligent, this week can offer various rewards.

Leo

Someone close to you will be very negative when it comes to your plans, both personal and professional. You have two choices: believe this person and fail or believe in yourself and succeed. Either way, things won't be easy. But perseverance will pay off and you'll accomplish something important to you.

Virgo

You might feel a little listless as the week starts. Fight through this and your week should turn around by about Tuesday or so. By the end of the week, you should be flying and ready to tackle the world. But beware a coworker who is out to get you.

Libra

Unlike Virgo, you'll start your week with plenty of energy and a desire to get things done. But ration this seemingly-endless energy. It is in short supply over the course of the week and you may need it for other things. You might want to focus your energies on straightening out a mess that's cropped up recently. Let everything else fall by the wayside until next week.

Scorpio

You're very close to accomplishing something significant in your life, so keep it up. Don't pull back and ask for help when you need it and you'll be flying toward your goal. However, one friend may not be there when you need him or her. Don't depend on someone you can't get a straight answer out of.

Sagittarius

People can be confusing this week, but only because their motives aren't what you might expect. Look beneath the surface to understand where others are coming from. Something this week will remind you of the past. Indulge the need for nostalgia as there is something important you can learn.

Capricorn

The need to get away from it all may be strong this week, but you can't just run out on your responsibilities. Instead, carve out a little time just for yourself. Go see a movie or take a walk in the park. Anything to take your mind off the pressures of work and home. But don't be gone too long or you'll miss an important opportunity.

Aquarius

Watch your career this week. If you're offered a new position or job, do your research. It may not be all it appears to be. Keep a clear head and don't let your fanciful side make the decision for you. Toward the end of the week your energies run high. This extra energy is here to stay for at least a few weeks, so take advantage of it.

Pisces

If you're being ignored at home or at work, resist the temptation to shout louder. Quietly go about your business and keep your head high. Someone will notice. But if you push, you run the risk of being thought pushy and being ignored even longer.

Weekly Astrological Horoscopes: August 18th to August 24th 2012

Aries

You might have a hard time making decisions this week, but that's only because you have so many options available to you. Be confident that any choice you make will lead you somewhere worth going, and look for new ways of looking at old problems. Your creative center is waking up, so take advantage.

Taurus

Surprises are in store for you this week, but don't be unduly nervous. Most of them will be great, some will be good, and some ... you'd rather do without. But you have to deal with what you have, so let your practical side take over. Also beware of sharing secrets with others. They probably can't keep their mouths shut right now.

Gemini

You may be tempted to get into business with a friend or family member, but this isn't a good idea right now. Find something else to do together or you'll quickly regret it. Also, this week will be full of the unexpected, so be prepared to roll with the punches.

Cancer

You might have been looking forward to some leisure time, but this could evaporate quickly. If you're asking to put in some overtime at work, remember that doing so now could put you in line for a promotion or raise later. Volunteering for a little extra work might not be such a bad idea.

Leo

Rein in that impulsive streak before it gets you into trouble. But this doesn't mean that you can't shine a little. Be confident in yourself and your decisions, but also think before you commit, and don't be afraid to ask for a little more time before making a major decision.

Virgo

Fair weather friends show their true colors this week. But there are still a few close friends you can rely on, so go to them for help. Those who truly care about you might have some worthwhile suggestions for you when it comes to implementing an idea that's near to your heart.

Libra

Someone is going to ask you to do something that's against your better judgement. Hold firm and refuse. Also, it's time to get a project long-ignored off the ground. But to do this you'll have to temper your excitement and come up with a plan. This will require some careful thinking.

Scorpio

Your practical side would like to take a nap, but wake it up. You'll need to make some decisions that need a cool head, so tell your temper to back off. But in making these decisions you might feel like your wings have been clipped. It's okay to feel some loss when you can't do everything, but don't take it out on those closest to you.

Sagittarius

Trust your instincts this week. If someone or something makes you uncomfortable, take note and walk away. Nothing is as it seems, so look beneath the surface to discover the truth. This applies to people and situations, so take nothing at face value as you navigate the labyrinth that is this week.

Capricorn

You may need some outside help to deal with the problems that crop up this week. This is especially true of any financial or real estate matters, so if you run into trouble, get professional help. Friendships may also be put under some stress, but if you talk out the problems, everything should settle again.

Aquarius

Money issues are the heart of most conflicts this week, and your lighthearted manner and eccentric approach won't be appreciated. You may have to be practical and address things in a logical manner to find a solution that benefits everyone. But don't worry, you can go back to being your eccentric self in short order.

Pisces

This week you'll be faced with a choice. You'll either have to do the right thing or the fun thing. Either way, you'll feel guilty. So take the high road and do what's right. You'll gain some respect and you'll eventually feel better about yourself.

Weekly Astrological Horoscopes: August 11th to August 17th 2012

Aries

If you've seen a few disappointments lately, now is the time to cast them off. You should be less concerned with what others think and more concerned with getting something done. Don't leave something important in the hands of another or you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment. Again. Tackle important projects yourself.

Taurus

You've been a bit of a worrier lately, but now is the time to let things go. Worry about something you can't change won't help and wastes energy you need elsewhere. A problem at home or at work requires your intervention, and you'll have to be on your toes to work it out. Be clear and concise when dealing with anyone in a high temper.

Gemini

Resistance is the game this week, Gemini. You'll be tempted in all sorts of ways, and you'll have to resist committing more than you can spare. This is especially true in financial matters. You may be given an opportunity to invest or otherwise commit monies, but don't go full throttle. Hold back just a little.

Cancer

If you're owed anything, now is the time to collect. Old debts need to be paid, even if you feel generous enough to overlook them. These debts might be financial in nature, but more likely they are favors that you've done in the past. You need a favor or two yourself, so don't hesitate to ask.

Leo

If you've felt sluggish and slow this week, now is the time to cast off these feelings. Gather your energy and get on with your life. It's time to put your plans into action and start moving toward your goals. Projects that seemed stalled will get started again if you have the will to see them through.

Virgo

Things may not have gone well lately, but that doesn't mean luck has abandoned you. Stop doubting yourself and try not to expect too much this week. You might be pleasantly surprised by someone with great ideas and the ability to help you with your own projects.

Libra

Forget the turmoil of past weeks. It was mostly due to Mercury and its odd motion anyway, and that influence has faded from your sign. Now your inner abilities can really shine through, especially your ability to sort out things and situation others write off as impossible. You'll build your own reputation if you spend a little time fixing things for others.

Scorpio

A hot temper won't get you anywhere this week, Scorpio. Take a breath and focus on one situation at a time. If you're careful and keep you wits about you, you might find unexpected opportunities hiding in the oddest places. Jump at the chance if it looks solid, but make sure you have a backup plan.

Sagittarius

You can get everything you want and your plans can actually get off the ground, but only if you're willing to compromise. And really compromise, not just make a token effort. Listen to others and really try to see the validity of their ideas. You might even strengthen a friendship while you're bettering your own position.

Capricorn

Two things get better this week -- finances and relationships. Financially, things can straighten out and an investment you've made appears to be ready to pay off. And Venus is busy making your relationships stronger, but only if you're willing to let past confrontations go and move on to better times.

Aquarius

Long term projects that were on the back burner may be given new life this week, Aquarius. this new energy can last for the better part of the next month or so, so take advantage of it. But while your focused on your own little projects, a problem in your personal life crops up. Deal with it quickly and with sensitivity and it will fade before the week is out.

Pisces

Mars is going to help you take the bull by the horns and get some things done, but only if you're willing to make the effort. Problems and obstacles will show up, seemingly out of nowhere. Deal with these quickly and as efficiently as possible and you'll find that your problems aren't really problems at all.
