WED 26 AUG

You feel you have come out of a long tunnel today. Your energies are brighter and you feel more energetic. People compliment you on your appearance, ask if you have lost weight. You may have some ups and downs with family but everyone else will be fun.

You're used to quick leaps of inspiration and speedy work when it comes to getting things done, but today is just slow for you and others, no matter how badly you want to get things out of the way.

You'll feel like you need a bit of a booster shot financially, and a family member might help out by suggesting you read or re-read "How to make friends and influence people". You may find yourself getting into arguments or disagreements with friends about art or decorating choice.

New ideas will flourish; you'll have the desire to propose them to your superiors; these will listen to you with interest; but in order to make sure that you'll be followed, don't adopt too affirmative tune. You should refrain from eating too spicy dishes; in fact, a vegetarian diet could perfectly suit you in this moment. You'll feel the need of greater sentimental stability, and you'll finally get a better view of your true aspirations; but you must control certain tendency to jealousy and not show yourself too possessive.

Friendship and cooperative endeavors flourish now. You achieve a harmonious balance of giving and receiving, of talking and listening, and any social or joint activity will benefit. Though you feel wonderful now, you're likely to regret your actions later if you don't curtail your impulses to overindulge, overspend, and enjoy too much of a good thing.

Energy of similar minds and hearts gravitate toward you today and together you could make some very positive changes. Use this smooth energy to make big strides and conquer new ground so you'll be in ever better position when the situation is less ideal.

An astral current will allow you to distinguish illusion from reality and to show greater lucidity in face of events. Take time to evaluate the advantages and drawbacks of all that will present itself to you. Decisive encounters for lonely souls. Renewal of passion for tranquil couples. On the contrary, ill-assorted couples will be in danger. Get rid of your bad habit of profiting by family meals to reprimand your children or to tackle stormy discussions.

The Eight of Pentacles card suggests that my power today lies in reproduction. I am resigned to the inevitability of the task at hand because of its inherent value, so I am efficient, productive and leave my mark in the details. I am empowered by near success and my asset is the ability to just do it.
