Blacks Astrology » Weekly Horoscopes for Friday August 17- Thursday August 23, 2012
August 17th, 2012 @ 5:23 pm by Blacks Astrology
Aries- You could be caught off guard by unexpected
challenges in work and business, but be careful to act, and not react, because
potential clients and higher ups are watching. The better you are able to handle
sudden shifts and changes, the more goodies, in the form of raises, promotions,
bonuses and commissions you will receive in the long run. It may be difficult to
control the hostility between close friends and your significant others at this
time; jealousy abounds. Try to make time for everyone without spreading
yourself too thin, and know that even though you feel pulled in two, it’s only because
everyone wants your attention.

Taurus- Think carefully before you speak this week,
especially around women, because some people in your inner circle may be
feeling extra sensitive at this time, and if they have even the slightest
impression that you are directing hurtful comments (though unintended) their
way it could cause resentment. Your love
life may be somewhat complicated as an old rival may resurface at this time. Though
you know that they are no match for you, they could cause trouble by flirting
with your current love. Stay strong, and don’t allow your temper or jealousy to
show because if they see that they have no effect on you or your partner they
will simply crawl back under their rock.

Gemini- Spending quality
time with family and friends is your focus right now, but your current romantic
partner may be in need of more one on one attention. You should definitely give
them what they deserve, but you must also set proper boundaries when it comes
to dealing with jealousies. You can always find a new girlfriend/boyfriend, but
you will only get one family, so be kind, but make it clear that your energies
must be shared. Double check that all
your important paperwork, especially contracts, have the appropriate dates and
signatures to avoid future problems when doing business this week.

Cancer- Enjoy the extra
boost in luck and popularity that Venus, currently transiting your home, sign
is giving you right now. Good luck with shopping, investing, romance, cooking
etc., should be making life very beautiful at this time. Though, you need to
expect that with Pluto in Capricorn currently opposing Venus, that there will
be some competition, but that will only make you stronger. Don’t take anything
too personally right now, and know that people are only contesting your
abilities because they believe that you are a worthy opponent; a great
compliment.

Leo- You are receiving a
lot of attention right now as Mercury, the sun, and the current new moon are in
your sign. Make sure that you are giving off the right signals to your friends,
family and romantic partners, because all of this planetary energy can cause
your ego to spin out of control. Take time to listen (Mercury) to others and
their points of view so that you stay grounded. The sun’s annual transit
through your sign (birthday) is a time to reflect upon the past, and make plans
for the next year ahead so make an inventory of what you already have, and plan
to achieve.

Virgo- The sun enters your
home sign this week on Wednesday which will bring you a much needed boost of energy
and vitality, but you still do what you can to take care of your health. An
annual check- up with your physician can pinpoint any areas where you need to focus
on, and a little extra rest and down time can do wonders. When it comes to dating, make sure that you
are pursuing a relationship that gives back what you put into it. You may be
working too hard at making things work with a partner that isn’t giving you
what you need. Before getting serious, be sure that you and your partner share
the same values and can maintain an equal exchange of energy and time.

Libra- Managing your time can be a very frustrating
task this week with Saturn and Mars still close enough to be conjunct there may
be more to do than your schedule will allow. Ask for help at this time if
things seem to be getting overwhelming. It is important to exercise patience
and cooperation in your relationships this week as communication may not be
easy; don’t take others’ outbursts personally, the frustration in the air is
affecting everyone and is only temporary. Take a close look at finances to make
sure that you aren’t accidentally overpaying when doing your monthly bills.

Scorpio- Family dynamics
can be complicated at this time, but you must exercise patience, because
allowing frustrations to cloud judgment will only make matters worse. It takes understanding energy to attract others
to open up so healing communication can occur and mend the breaks in family
ties. Competition in business and in the workplace can push you to work harder
and faster so embrace the challenges that come your way and thank your opponent
later when you have surpassed your own expectations.

Sagittarius- Your mind may not be focused on your work and
responsibilities at this time, but it is important that you take care of
business. Start with the most important issues and don’t worry about the small
stuff; you can always catch back up later. Your relationship issues are likely
caused by a lack of communication, so it is important that you set the stage
for your partner to open up. A private, romantic meal can give you both the opportunity to get back in focus with each other; make the effort, it is
definitely worth it.

Capricorn- Venus in Cancer and Pluto transiting your
sign are facing off right now in an opposition leaving you open to power
struggles in love and with the women in your life. Don’t allow yourself to be
pulled into arguments and altercations that you don’t really have any stake in
or actually care about; lay low when someone tries to get you involved in a
fight, even if indirectly. This is a good time to confront and or eliminate any
relationships in your life that are not working for you; get rid of the dead
wood. Though emotional issues may not be going way, it is an excellent time to
pursue any academic or professional projects as you will be able to focus on
them with great intensity.

Aquarius- You could be feeling a little out of sorts
this week with the new moon and sun in Leo opposing your sign, so be very kind
to yourself and use this time to focus on what you feel you are lacking in your
current life structure. Long distance communication can be somewhat
frustrating, especially when it comes to romance, as the factors of time and
space leave you on different wave lengths, just be patient and it will all come
back together very soon. Make a special point of reaching out to the elders in
your family, even if it is just a few lines in a letter or e-mail, or just a
quick phone call. You’ll feel better knowing that you’ve kept in touch.

Pisces- It is time to be
spiritual in your choices when it comes to children and family. Advice from
elders should always be considered, but if your heart and soul are not attuned
to what they are saying, it will not work out in the long run. Listen to your
own inner voice and you can’t go wrong. Old investments may pay off for you
this week, but be sure to save some of your earnings so that you can reinvest;
when you find a good thing, stick with it.
