THE MERCURY MONTHLY
LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23)
Romance: Be aware of the intense and abundant energy that is available now in the love realm and remember that trust is integral to love. Keep in mind that this love may not be about romance. There is your family just as there is the love of your life or, if you are single, the person you want to be with now. Either way, you need to heed that what you give is what you receive. If you're available, love surprises you when you least expect it. It is a powerful time of the year for you, so dream big and plan your future with confidence. You're the best resource you'll ever have so invest in yourself for the best results. If single, someone is checking you out and love is available for those with an open heart.
Career: You can make this a very productive time for closing all of your current projects if they aren't finished by now. If you are not happy with your circumstance at work then ask how you can make yourself more effective in the work place. It is a time for creating quality and that begins with your choices. Balance comes by way of strength. Money is a concern so stop using your credit card. You have energy for whatever you choose to pursue.
Health: Use this time for sorting out what you want to acquire for a better, authentic you. By paying attention to your health-choices, you become your genuine self - a good reason to take advantage of this time to discover your inner self. Capitalize on the opportunities you make, or the ones that find you. In general, you are having a major focus on all fronts of your life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21)
General: You love a mystery and you solve a mystery before you. Now is a good time to consider speaking from the heart as you communicate with the people about whom you care. Spend quality time with yourself for the sole purpose of connecting with your inner spiritual side, your heart. Accidents are on the astrological menu so be careful with household repairs to avoid some ugly times that don't have to happen. You also need to be defensive when driving - look out for others.
Romance: If you are single, then you meet more than one person who shares your intense passion and interests in life. Regardless if you are the chooser or the one being chosen, this romance depends on your availability. You are loyal when it comes to your feelings for the one you love. You'll meet someone special or someone from the past reappears in your life and they are interested in pursuing a new kind of relationship. You enjoy this unexpected attention.
Career: You'll get support when it comes to getting your work done, but you have to ask! Upheaval is in the air so don't take things personally. Instead, grow, learn, and move on. You'll soon have access to accurate intuition, therefore be aware and make the most of what appears from the void. Don't give the wrong impression, especially to those who can make or break you at work. Just be you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
Health: If you are strong and have no health issues then you have an element of luck at this time. Think about your life style and how it helps or hurts your health considerations. Though you sense a change calling you to adventure, you draw on your practical side instead of throwing everything to the wind. You discover that revolution can be healing or destructive and that you get to decide the results of your inner revolution.
Work: You'll hear from an authority figure about something that you have to address one way or another. Since this person has power, you may want to consider listening. By adapting, you find yourself in a much better situation. Your intent is a powerful form of magic that can be accessed any time you choose.
Home: Your family wants to see you so make the time to say hello and enjoy quality time with the people who love you. Remember your home is where you heart resides. You are in a period of waiting for something to happen so wait to receive the go-ahead before starting a project. Most of you have been going through a major cycle for some time, and the rest of you are on a new venture that has moved you into a direction in life that has brought out the best in you. It might be difficult for you to assimilate a new way of life, therefore, make this a learning period.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
Romance: You certainly have energy now. Use that energy to consider what you are looking for in a mate and what you can give to him or her. You are puzzled by the connection you have with someone. Be open and learn not to have expectations or you can bet you'll be regularly disappointed. Remember that mysterious life gives you what you need and not what you want. When you learn to surrender to the joy of being then the being becomes joyful and the best partner in life appears, but you have to be patient.
General: If you find yourself in a conversation that is not appropriate at work, learn to control your frustration or outright anger. This is the time for you to check your facts before making an important decision - hold off until the end of the month when you'll be ready for what life has to offer. Your work place can be enjoyable but it begins with you. Take a lighter touch when you approach people in authority. It makes a difference. Let this be a time for lying low and paying attention to what is being presented to you. Mind your own business and let others do what they have to do.
Health: Health is an area to pay attention to. This doesn't mean you're going to become ill, but if you burn the candle at both ends, you won't have a candle to burn. You are in a much better position than you give yourself credit. You feel great when you let go of your attachments that no longer serve you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
General: You experience a mixed bag of energy this month, so take heed. Be open to startling information that illuminates you! Your insights are going to have a profound effect on the direction of your life. Now is a time for looking deep within and for preparing for success as it prepares for you. You discover a chance to make strides in your day-to-day life. A social interest takes your attention, and you have plenty to do - what to do first? Neptune, as it supports your imagination, also gives you insights into your creative side of life. However, you could become depressed and over-whelmed with a sense of helplessness which is only an illusion. A new philosophical viewpoint emerges at this time.
Romance: Your sensual side is subtly asserting itself and letting you know one way or another what is available...or not! Choose to eliminate those things from the past that no longer serve you. You are working more and enjoying your new way of expressing yourself. You're finally in a position where you have discovered a secret that has you smiling inside your heart. You have found your niche in life and you couldn't be happier. Perhaps, now is the time to be prepared to act on your love interest or deepen the one you have!
Work: This is a major time of great subtle energy - it is as if you hear, but do not feel, rain. Though things may not appear as they truly are, use the visions that you are now entertaining as wake up calls. Low energy is also a part of this scenario for many Aquarians. The people at your place of employment are perhaps not as helpful as you would prefer, but it is not personal. Others also have their frustrations and sometimes you get caught up with the jet lag of the mystery that surrounds you.
PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)
General: As you experience a new ways of expressing yourself in your daily activities, remember breaking old patterns is key to your growth. You have the opportunity to change the way you have been living your life. Don't resist the changes that coming your way: it's all for you to learn how to express your genuine quality.
Indulge your tendency to help others, but take care of your personal needs.
Romance: If you had a false alarm concerning a potential romance, stay tuned: you're not out of the romantic forest yet. Your intuition, a gateway into the awareness that is the journey to enlightenment, is one of your best resources but it is useless if you don't use it. You're in synch with the universe more than you know, and all you have to do is tune into what is happening right in front of your face and within your heart. By being aware, you can hear love speaking from the mystery of life to you - all you have to do is listen!
Work: This is a challenging month so get some work done, because your vocation supports you. Pay attention to tasks before you and listen to your intuition for the right decisions concerning a work project. Don't play the victim or it will haunt you in the future. Let your intelligence be a beacon from which others may learn and grow - all you have to do is be your wonderful generous self.
ARIES (Mar. 21 - April 19)
Work: You are being recognized as a reckoning force for the long term. It is a good time for a new approach to your work and it is best to make small changes as you monitor the results. Work on finding your balance, which is always a good way to approach your colleagues and remember that balance comes with strength.
Relationships: Your friends and family are still the focus for your interest and entertainment. The less you judge, the more you'll be respected and your life will flows easily for you and everyone else. In fact, replace judgment with observation and let your observation be the judgment.

Now is the time to be open to the possibilities that are created by you or by the possibilities that are presented.
Health: You're always busy doing something, but are the choices you make enhancing your well-being or are you working against yourself? Though that's the way you are, consider how to better manage your energy now and for the rest of your life for the best results.

Health choices come in all sizes and often in unusual moments of decision.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
General: Don't be discouraged if you find your emotions go to that place of discontentment. It is a time for new beginnings that don't always look the way we want them to. Be strong and have a positive attitude. When you are optimistic, life is joyous. This is not a time for promoting any new projects or ideas - stick with your trusty tools that smoothly run your life. This can be a very productive and progressive time, but you must do the work: nothing is going to be handed over to you.
Work: Getting work done is the highlight for you and be amazed as you keep your focus on the object of your intent. Make yourself available for co-workers and welcome the same support in return. They need your attention and provide yourself a nurturing way to express your true nature. Don't get upset with the actions of others; instead observe those actions and learn from them. Opportunity can come at the most unusual time, and there could be a surprise in the offering.
Romance: Life is a wondrous gift and you are the greatest resource you'll ever have. Your sensual needs have to be addressed or you could implode, and that means you could do something that you would regret. You have recently retreated into yourself, and this is good for personal revaluation. Love is a mystery and our partners are perhaps part of a predestined plan. Surrender to what life offers you and be open to letting your ego play a less important role in your life for better results.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21)
Work: It could be a good time to ask for a raise, a goal only you can accomplish. Many things come your way now, a scenario you prefer because being busy puts you in the middle of your milieu.

When you inventory what you can rely on in your life, you will more easily get rid of any uncertainty bothering you.
Finances: This is the time to pay attention to your property and personal possessions. It is not the time for speculation when it comes to your money. If you make a commitment to someone, make sure you follow-up or you may regret it. Be sensitive to the people you meet and listen to your inner-voice: meditate. You feel like going into your shell for some rest and for re-grouping. Be careful driving or you may get a ticket.

Life is a gift and if a choice is integral to that gift, then listen to your heart to make the best choice.
Relationships: Consider your ego as a great tool or it could be a problem. Know that most Leos like to be the center of attention or if you are a quiet Leo, and they do exist, then this is a time for being observant and listen to your heart for your authentic. Life is about people and how we relate to one another. If you want to have good friends in your life then be a good friend. You as charming as you want to be and it is a great gift that many Leo have as a tool for getting what you want.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Health: Find some quiet time for yourself this month so you can contemplate your awareness. Your energy is taxed to the hilt, so make sure you get plenty of rest - you'll need it. Keep a simple schedule, for the best results. Pay attention to the big picture: don't get lost in the details but pay attention to them.
Relationships: The emphasis is on forgiveness. We can't change what has just happened, but we can respond always with a kind loving heart, which you do. This month demands you focus intently on emotions so you can reveal a part of yourself you may have stuffed. As unexpected feelings come to you, you are surprised at the lessons you learn about yourself. It is amazing how much you can get done, when you put your attention on your work.

Change is the key word for you so learn to flow with the unexpected, the lifeblood of creation in its wondrous presentation.
