A friend may ask you for advice today on some very personal issues. You are able to cut through the red tape and get beneath and behind. If you are looking for a way to express your creative talents, look into the possibilities of working with stone. Perhaps white marble could be worked into your living surroundings.

Virgo  August 23-September 22 A new cycle begins for you, signaling a greater than usual interest in relationships, social connections and the arts.

If you go with the flow, you will find that soon your own ideas can be merged into a plan. You spend a lot of money on good causes--you give away a lot of your money--perhaps you want to save the world. Check to make sure the people you are giving your money to, share your compassion.

Aquarius  January 20-February 18 A future neighborhood garage sale may be on your mind today. Many people could be involved to help make the garage sale a great neighborhood effort.

Children may need a see-through covered area to wait on a bus for school or getting house numbers painted on the curb for each home would be helpful. Maybe the homeowners will have their own suggestion. Circumstances may urge you to great effort and hard work. Things are working with rather than against you, however, so do not hold back.
