YOUR ASTRO COCKTAIL- WEEK OF AUGUST 31, 2010

I for one will be glad when this Mercury retrograde b******* is over. This is the third time that I am writing this horoscope page because even though I hit the Publish Post button all of my writing disappeared. It freaks me out to know that I lost approximately 1500 words TWICE for a grand total of 3000 words. Maybe we are just supposed to wing it this week and give the stars and the planets an end of the summer vacation. As we move into September a rough aspect between the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Virgo may cause us to be a little critical and cranky. Don't get discouraged though because by Thursday the same Gemini Moon will be happily connecting with Venus and Mars in Libra which is a great aspect for socializing and getting together. I for one can hardly believe that it is September. Where did the summer go? We are also in the September of our years but relax because September is the "New June" since we are a new wave of babes. The Sun in Virgo is perfect for getting back to business and going back to school. Looking back over the years there is one thing that I really am glad that is behind me-I no longer have to help my kids cover their back to school books in clear contact paper. There is nothing more frustrating then trying to get the little wrinkles,air bubbles,pieces of carpet and candy crumbs
( from my sugar fix not the kid's) out of the sticky contact paper. Twelve days and counting until the trickster planet, Mercury,once again goes direct.

For a top shelf blend of some cosmic advice also read your rising sign if you know what it is. Remember that the stars and planets are there to be our designated emotional drivers when we need to find our way through life.



Don't scream! Even though you have been breaking your backside and bending over backwards for a certain someone they still continue to act unappreciative. Get the picture? It is now time to do an about face and let them see what it is like to be responsible for themselves. Maybe that is a good idea after all. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Chariot showing a conflicting influence. Turmoil and a need for a quick decision.


You love them,you love them not. You love them,you love them NOT. Now is the time to set the tone for exactly where a relationship is going. Yanking your chain and blowing smoke up your can is no longer affective behavior and what is done is done. Don't be surprised if a certain someone realizes that they may have pushed you too far this time. Let's see if they can begin to make things right so you can both move forward. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Eight of Pentacles showing commitment to the task at hand. Ability to learn quickly.


Where did the summer go? You may feel like you were abducted by aliens and taken up in a UFO giving reason to why you seem to have lost time. Your ruling planet, Mercury, is now half way through the retrograde period which means that you are almost free from the confusion and delays that have been going on around you. Don't be surprised if you come upon something that you thought was lost ( including love). Your splash of tarot for the week is the Knight of Wands (reversed)showing discord and interruption. Unexpected changes.


They know that you know so therefore there is no need to play anymore games. Someone who thought that they could pull a fast one on you concerning a money situation is soon to find out that you were wise to them. Avoiding a confrontation may be difficult especially since the other party is apt to try and turn it around and put the blame on you. Stay out of "hot water" because it sure as hell isn't good for crabs unless you're making soup. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Five of Pentacles indicating some money upsets. Emotional confusion may cause you to spend money on an ungrateful person.


The idle mind along with face book, texting, surfing the net and emailing are the playground for the devil so take a deep breath and get back to work. Now is a good time to review and revamp any plans and projects that you may have shelved for awhile. Even though you seem to get things done under a tight schedule remember that being more careful with how you spend your time will prove to be more productive for you in the long run. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Judgment card (reversed) showing that delays cause frustration. Procrastination only lets things pile up. Take action for improvement.


You may feel a little scattered lately and that could be due to Mercury still being retrograde unless of course you are in dire need of a break in your routine. Nothing will burn you out faster than doing the same thing over and over again. Give yourself a treat and make plans to reconnect with some old friends who you haven't seen in awhile. Relax this week and don't worry about the details just go out and have some fun. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Page of Wands (reversed) showing some indecision in proceeding. A gossip may share some disturbing news.


A recent change in your attitude may shake someone up. It feels so good to take your power back especially since you have been giving it away so sweetly and freely for way too long of a time. Watch for a tendency this week to feel guilty for having fun. Dammit! You should feel guilty for not having fun. Thursday and Friday are your best days this week. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Nine of Swords (reversed) showing that you have your doubts and suspicions about someone. Keep an eye on a shady character.


This is a kooky kind of week for you because one minute you feel stuck and the next minute you become unglued. The rip tides of emotions are largely due to the fact that you may have been kept in the dark concerning an important decision. Once the dust settles you may realize that it wasn't as big of a deal as you thought it was. Chill out. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Temperance card advising you to have patience in your dealings with others. Adjust your attitude to insure a successful resolve to any lingering problems.


You are one hard babe to surprise since you don't miss a trick. Your uncanny ability to figure out the solution even before hearing about the problem baffles everyone around you. Your perception is right to target this week as you help a friend through a tough time. The big question is should you or shouldn't you tell all that you know. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Ace of Swords (reversed) letting you know that a hasty tongue may cause an embarrassing situation. Watch your words and hold your temper.


Apologize if you feel that you may have been a little impatient with someone close to you. Hey we all have our moments so say "sorry" and move on. You may be more concerned that the insulted party may hold a grudge and lay a heavy guilt trip on you. Don't even think about it. Save your guilt trips for red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and Godiva chocolate martinis. Loosen up because Saturday and Sunday should prove to be your best days this week. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Two of Wands (reversed) showing that you may be surprised by the response you get from someone. An achievement may prove not to be as rewarding as you thought it would be.


You may suddenly find yourself buried under a load of paperwork. Keeping up with what has to get done can really stress you out. Careful that you don't snap at the wrong person this weekend...save your wrath for the one, super sized pain in the ass that you are ready to remove from your space. Mercury retrograde comes in handy for "removals." Your splash of tarot for the week is the Two of Cups (reversed) telling you to be on the look out for family quarrels. Petty rages cause conflict. Keep a safe distance from a combative person.


You are like a match that is waiting to be ignited. All of your pent up creative juices are looking for an outlet and the delay in getting a new project going is leaving you on the edge of boredom. Stay the course and don't make any big changes until after the Mercury retrograde is over on September 12TH. Don't be surprised to see who seeks you out this week. Keep an open mind. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Magician (reversed) showing that delays turn off your imagination. Put any insecurities aside and find your self confidence again.
