VIRGO: AUG. 23 to SEP. 23:
The Force will be with you this month. Seize the moment! Charisma and sex appeal will work in your favour. One direct action will be worth a thousand words. One critical word on your part will make a thousand actions more difficult. Take the initiative but don’t try to explain! This will one of those months when silence proves itself to be golden!

If your birthday falls between Oct. 18 and 20 then this will be a month of serious decisions. You will be making decisions about what your goals are and what they are not. These decisions will have a long term effect. Define your goals and make commitments. It is time to take control of your destiny.

SCORPIO: OCT. 23 to NOV. 22:
This will be a positive and productive month for most Scorpios. Your charisma will be high and you will generally be able to accomplish whatever you set out to do. The opposite sex will find you particularly magnetic this month. This will be a good month to accentuate the positive and silence personal judgments.
The Full Moon eclipse of Dec. 10th will be a relatively uneventful lunation for most Scorpios. Take it easy and go with the flow. The New Moon of Dec. 24 th will be a positive one.

Those Scorpios born between Oct. 23 and 25 will be inclined to exaggerate this month. Misunderstandings will prevail. Personal judgments will only make them worse. You need to understand what you are getting involved in before you actually get involved. If you are avoiding this, you will probably be overindulging and putting on weight.


SAGITTARIUS: NOV. 22 to DEC. 22:
It will be case of foot in mouth disease for most Sagittarians this month. You will experience an inherent restlessness and impatience throughout December. There will not be enough time to do everything. The less you say in the first half of the month, the less you will have to explain during the last half. The battle is with your own anger and expectations and not with other people! Keep well rested,
The Full Moon eclipse of Dec. 10th will be a powerful and impressionable one for Sagittarians. Conflicts will arise, but you need to keep your cool! A good workout will take of the edge of your temper. The New Moon of Dec. 24 th will be relatively insignificant for Sagittarians. Try to mind your own business and don’t let others knock you off balance. Move out of the way!.
Special Focus:
Those Sagittarians born between Nov. 25th and Dec. 12th will need to watch their communication and read any contracts to be signed twice. The key to success this month will be to listen to others rather than talk to them. Strive to stay calm and keep your ideas to yourself. Don’t trust your impulses!

CAPRICORN: DEC. 22 to JAN. 20:
Capricorns will be charming and full of vitality this month. You will attract what you want easily, without excessive effort needed. If the demands are too great, then you can wait! This will be good month to go with the flow and if you get a chance to listen to some live music, go for it! A smile will win the loyalty and support of others.
The Full Moon eclipse of Dec. 10th will be a relatively easy one with little or no stress. The New Moon of Dec. 24 th will be the most sensitive lunation of the year. This will be a seed moment and a time for deep impressions. Trust your instincts and take some time for personal reflection.
Special Focus:
If your birthday falls between Dec. 22nd and 23rd then this will be a month filled with sudden change and unexpected disruptions. Someone could easily let you down. Don’t respond. Let it go. Keep your eyes on the front of the boat. There is no use looking back. If you don’t set yourself up, you will not be brought down.

AQUARIUS: JAN. 20 to FEB. 19:
Communications will be highlighted for Aquarians this December. This will be a good month for you to get around and visit friends, or to invite friends to visit you. Getting things completed properly will prove more difficult, but by the last ten days of the month you will attract both encouragement and support.
The Full Moon eclipse of Dec. 10th will be a positive one. Try to talk quietly. The New Moon of Dec. 24 th will be an insignificant one. Again charm will work in your favour but indulgence will not. Make a plan and follow it.
Special Focus:
If you were born between Jan. 20th and 21st the main challenge for December will be one of moderation, a quality that you might yourself find lacking. You will be inclined to exaggerate and overdo things. With the holidays around, the basic excesses will be around food and drink. The cost will show on your waistline.

PISCES: FEB. 19 to MAR. 20:
This will be a month of troubled waters for Pisces, and it will be difficult to find a bridge. You will feel pressured and be easily irritated. Give yourself extra time to get places. Expect delays! Keep calm! Do not express anger or you will have to eat your words later. Quick judgments should not be made or acted upon.
The Full Moon eclipse of Dec. 10th will be a stressful one. Arguments, tickets and mechanical problems are likely. You can take the edge off with a good workout in the morning. The New Moon of Dec. 24 th will be a positive one. Be productive but don’t try to explain and your efforts will win respect.
Special Focus:
If you were born between Feb. 28 and Mar. 11 then your energy will be low this month. You need to get a few good night’s sleep to maintain control of your temper. Keep in the background and do not force issues. If you speak harshly, discord will escalate. Your sense of humour will be challenged but you still need to be courteous to others.

ABOVE AND BELOW:
Thunder above, the earth below.
One is receptive to shock.
There will be many sudden changes.
One will adapt.
Understanding the need for excitement,
One will give encouragement
To those who lift the spirits of others.

THE IMAGE:
Thunder on the earth.
Unexpected movement.
Team spirit is aroused.
The eldest son appears.
He is guided by the needs of the mother.
To make the way easier is good.
Give hearty applause and encourage the efforts of others.
Music heals the soul and brings peace to the family.
Excitement inspires.
Worries get left behind.
Life is good.

THE JUDGEMENT:
Outer shock, inner receptivity.
When something unique happens
Everyone will notice.
Excitement that inspires enthusiasm can change the world.
Positive excitement, like music and theatre,
Can take people beyond their miseries.
If one is worthy one will encourage others.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIP:
The mother to the first son.

And prove the value of optimism.

And your efforts will be appreciated.


THE LINES

Nine in the fourth place: (02° - 03° Sagittarius)
Obstructions abound.
It will be difficult to accomplish anything.
One takes the initiative.
It is shocking,
But many will be inspired.

         The fourth place: 02° - 03° Sagittarius:  60. Limitation
         To impose limits on indulgence is wise.
         If one laughs at the difficulties of others
         There will be misfortune.

                  Nine in the fourth place:
                  Enthusiastic initiative.
                  One inspires others to move out of danger
                  And leave their worries behind.
                  In this way even great obstructions
                  Can be turned to an advantage.
                  Even if one is not the leader
                  One’s initiatives will be appreciated.
                  Others will follow.


This is the time when the amount of darkness in a day increases to its maximum and daylight reaches its minimum. It gets dark out early and there is much less light around to enable outer activities. It is now getting colder and the final push into winter is here.
As daylight decreases so does individual freedom. This time of darkness represents a time where the demands of the group or the team will prevail over the wishes of the individual. Individual efforts must now be directed to helping the community or team. It is getting colder. Time demands are increasing and there is much personal inertia to overcome.
The magic in this time occurs when inertia is overcome. It can be seen when people put their energies together and make things better. When this energy can be directed with enthusiasm, it inspires everyone and makes life much easier and more fun.
Are you doing anything that inspires or encourages others? Are you supportive of others?
Being alone now is difficult. The company of a friend can make all the difference.
The question becomes, not what can I do for me, but what can I do for others.

This is the Sagittarian new moon. There will be many different outlooks and opinions surfacing. Strive to include them all. This is not the time to pontificate or preach to others, rather it is a time to include them and make sacrifices to help them.
The horoscope of this New Moon shows much stress and impatience. There will be an insensitive or angry reaction to any disruptions that arise. In the world there is a competitive insensitive temperament where one will be quick to anger. It will take some effort to overlook and forgive the mistakes of others. However, little or no good will come from undue criticism or contention. Try to keep inspiration in the forefront and accentuate the positive. Avoid grumbling negativity and harsh reactions. Don’t try to do too much, and leave some time for helping others. If something increases impatience or anger, then it is probably worth leaving alone.
A second factor on this new moon eclipse is one of great expectations and good intentions. Unfortunately great expectations mixed with anger will rarely have any good come out of it. There is a tendency to fanatically react to circumstances that one disagrees with. This does not bode well for peace. On this new moon it will be especially important to bless and forgive. Let go of the judgment and anger. Try to help rather than harm.
Simple acts of kindness can have a very profound and significant effect. Take the angry or restless energy and direct it to helping others with no extra conditions or expectations attached.  Why make things more difficult when you can make them easier?
Chanting and praying are tools that help us to overcome the attachments of the mind and the subsequent judgments or expectations. This is a forerunner to peace and good will.
Chanting and praying on a new moon is always an extra-sensitive experience. This new moon encourages chanting or praying with others. Go to the church or the temple. Share some of the good energies and inner prayers with others. It will create a much improved sense of communal well being. It will fuel the fires of enthusiasm.
The world will become a better place! Peace will increase on earth!
Hari Om.
