Astrology Explored

December 30, 2008

Libra—You got two burning hot issues this year: love and money. A new offbeat or foreign friend catches your eye. On one hand this person is totally unsuitable. On the other hand, there is something magical about this person, the glint in their eye, the way they smile at you. Libra loves nothing more than a good romance and it doesn’t have to be with the marrying kind, though that is your first choice. However, you are hesitant to take the plunge, with good reason, though don’t be surprised if this person keeps buzzing in and out of your social circle through out the year. In February, you get a first glimpse of money troubles as Christmas bills come rolling in. In March, rumored changes in the workplace ups your angst over finances. It’s all just a bit too much, and April has you tripping over your own feet with. In May you are just plain run down. June’s first blush of summer brightens your mood, though family obligations and finances have you taking short trips instead of your usual vacation. Throughout the fall and early winter, Mr. or Ms. Unusual shows up yet again. Is this a love that can last? Only the New Year will tell.

Scorpio—In late February someone pops out of the blue and strikes a romantic spark in your heart, though duties and responsibilities keep you from immediately pursing this cutie. In March you find out you is one of pack that is pursuing this person, which only kicks up your competitive nature. In March, however, you find yourself separated from this person by either unusual circumstances or distance, and the hope of a lasting romance becomes a fond memory. If it is a move from your current locale, you find yourself in your new situation at odds with the people and the clime. In April you find yourself moving from place to place, and without a secure home base you feel very unsettled. In May, a younger person’s actions set you on edge. You find yourself treading carefully the rest of year, but Scorpionic stealth and cunning carry your through. In June, money issues takes up most of your attention. Have you overspent, Scorpio? In July money issues settle down, but you find yourself having to put a younger person in their place. However by September, things should be worked out nicely. In December, Venus comes into your sign to point the way to a long lasting relationship.

Sagittarius—Your relationships will be tested this year, as the need for personal freedom clashes with your need to take care of your responsibilities. Sagittarius never likes to be tied down anyway, so this year you will be working on what it is you need to do as opposed to what you’d like to do. In February you have the urge to chuck everything and go your own way, and some of you Archers do. However, you can’t escape what it is for which you are responsible. In March, fuzzy thinking gets you into trouble; in April you’ll spend a lot of time trying to sort it out. May has you hooking up with a new love interest, but as usual, flirting with danger has its downside. This doesn’t stop you; however, as you like things a little down and dirty just to spice things up. In July, you find yourself feeling a bit run down. August finds you back in the harness again, and you aren’t too happy about it. In September you are willing to risk everything for love, but maybe you should rethink this position. During the holidays you are feeling recharged and ready for action. Watch out world!
