Horoscopes

AQUARIUS (1/20 - 2/18)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Philosopher. Jewel's song "Intuition" is the focal point of your season, Aquarians. There will be an interesting proposal headed your way, but don't overthink and overassess it. Follow your heart, your intuition, it will lead you in the right direction. Another suggestion for when the time matters, don't take outside opinions on the issue at hand; they will only lead to complicating an otherwise simple solution. An assignment may seem to overload you, but the knowledge you gain from it in the end will be worth every working minute. SEASONAL MISSION: Spend extra time finishing half-done projects. The more you accomplish, the less cluttered you'll feel.

PISCES (2/19 - 3/20)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Imaginative One. Since you've been wondering, yes is the answer to your love inquiry. You've kind of known that all along, but have been keeping yourself in denial. Make the move you've thought about, and although it'll hurt at first, you'll feel better by mid-September. You'll receive a call from someone in your past -- the good news is that it was someone you've been inkling to hear from. The bad news is that they have an ulterior motive. Keep your ears open but your heart semi-closed. You know what their talk has done in the past. SEASONAL MISSION: You love taking pictures, and it shows. But make it show more gracefully by creating scrapbooks or by turning your favorites into black and white photos and hanging them on the wall.

ARIES (3/21 - 4/19)	SIGN OF NATURE: Bold & Brave. It's an Aries' nature to be a little impulsive in life; whether it be in your decisions of love, family and friends, career, or finances, your spontaneity tends to get you in hot water. This season, focus on being more decisive -- the more you think things through, the less messes you'll need to clean up in the end. And that'll become invaluable in November, when a new opportunity arises that requires extensive thought and planning. SEASONAL MISSION: Do unto others what you want done unto you. Fool the egoist and donate time or money to a charity.

TAURUS (4/20 - 5/20)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Builder. Sometimes your generosity can be taken advantage of. It seems that no matter what the predicament, someone always wants more than they are given. This month, your semi-frustration with this will give you the courage to step up and ask them to cease and desist. Don't fret over repercussions; since your nature tends to be lovable and sincere, those taken aback won't feel stepped on. By the middle of October, you'll have accomplished your goal and earned some respect. SEASONAL MISSION: Take some time to discover nature. A camping trip, a road trip, antiquing in San Jose. Whatever you love to do, choose to do it and follow through, and take time to smell the roses.

GEMINI (5/21 - 6/21)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Narrator. Your mind can be fleeting, so this season, focus on one important article of your life and improve on it. One to consider is your finances. With a imminent life change coming by the end of the year, you'll want to be prepared and make a smooth transition. Don't let the naysayers tempt you to stray from your goal -- you're thisclose to being complete. But do keep the other aspects of your life in check. Love is within sight, as well, with a new relationship, or a stronger relationship, by mid December. SEASONAL MISSION: Head into the new year with a clear head -- clean up clutter within your life and home. Involve others for more bonding time.

CANCER (6/22 - 7/22)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Protector. It's a good thing, at least for those around you, that you're a great listener. Your ears will be tested this season, when close friends and family seek you out for a shoulder to cry on and lean on. Be there to comfort them, for you will be rewarded mid-November with an unexpected, but pleasant, relationship. Your career status has remained stable for a while now, but expect some positive changes this season that may open your eyes to a new, uncharted territory. SEASONAL MISSION: It may seem as if the grass is greener on the other side, but try to focus more on being optimistic in tough predicaments. Those who look to you for guidance will learn by example.

LEO (7/23 - 8/22)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Ruler. Your charisma is on key this season -- it seems that no matter who you're with, your charm will outshine the rest. But be careful not to take heavy matters lightly, you can run the risk of offending others with your laidback nature. Look into entrepreneurial endeavors this season. That idea that's always been in the back of your mind may be more of a possibility than you think. Use your networks to make it happen, and you will reap the benefits sooner than later. SEASONAL MISSION: Start early to stay healthy. The sooner you make it a habit, the better you'll feel by this time next year. Employ reasonable goals and you'll be able to stick to them.

VIRGO (8/23 - 9/22)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Critic. Lately, people have felt like they haven't been able to rely on you. It's not that you are intentionally shutting them out, your life has become extremely hectic and you've just lost track. Thankfully, life this season will soon become less busy and you'll be able to rebuild bridges you may have burned. Mid-October, be careful how much you say and to whom. That small comment you make about a co-worker or friend can cause a landslide. Some people were not meant to be trusted. SEASONAL MISSION: Get organized. A day planner can do wonders. Make appointments and dates more important and recognizable.

LIBRA (9/23 - 10/23)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Diplomat. Everyone may be looking for answers from you, but you'll find yourself feeling unwelcome to the invitations. Don't feel guilty for being so personal. You've been unassuming in the past and it has come back to burn you in the end. Instead of being outward, feel free to bring out your inner diplomat and give them just enough but not enough. Look forward to a better love life in October. You've been in a stale relationship status and will be eager for something new. Take the chance, for it will pay off before you can say the word "single." SEASONAL MISSION: Laughter really is the best medicine, so take lots of it. Especially around November, when it will cure someone close to you of their problems.

SCORPIO (10/24 - 11/22)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Analyst. This season, you'll be involved in a lot of growing up. With the array of obstacles and decisions up ahead, you'll be forced into thinking like a true adult. Fortunately, plans will form successfully, and that inner feeling that you're going nowhere fast will fade. Look to take risks in your love life in November, when you'll be faced with a new prospect in an unexpected time. Heed the advice of your best friend, for it will prove golden in the weeks to follow. SEASONAL MISSION: Become a part of something bigger than yourself. It will teach you more than any textbook could.

SAGITTARIUS (11/23 - 12/21)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Traveler. Even though you may feel as if you're always right, and you could be, lay low on the "told-you-so" attitude in mid-October. At the risk of ruining a friendship, understand that sometimes a person will do anything but admit their faults. You'll feel like giving up at the end of the year, when all of the stress of your multi-tasking comes crashing. But stick with it; the small bump in the road will reward you later, when your hard work finally pays off. SEASONAL MISSION: Take a few days off of work, school, and life, and discover a city you've never visited. See the sights, people-watch, and enjoy the solitude.

CAPRICORN (12/22 - 1/19)	SIGN OF NATURE: The Achiever. Life is good for you, dear Capricorn. It seems as if your stars are aligned and nothing can pull you out of this bubble. And you're right, for now. But don't get to comfortable on your throne. Those preparation plans you had in mind should be set in stone by the end of this month to be ready for any unwelcoming occurrences. It's definitely in your favor that your sign is so devoted to family, because you'll be looked to as a protector for someone close to you in their time of need by the end of the year. SEASONAL MISSION: You can never be too educated; look into taking that class you've always been interested in and learn a new skill, (may we suggest photography?).
