WORK: Financial news could have your head spinning. This period tends to bring even more drama, duties, and deck chairs to move around. So much to do, so little time to catch your breath. Since nothing is set in stone right now, it could be that your plans are either being activated OR put on hold. Unexpected changes, travel, or increased meetings may affect your work schedule. You may have to get up earlier in the morning. If looking for work, take a look at a new field.

Although you are still very busy—sometimes even feeling a little overwhelmed—you do feel some satisfaction with the progress you have made in certain areas. Depending on the kind of work you do, you may have more customer contact (or entertaining a client or higher-up). Someone may appreciate your taking the time to offer impromptu training or inside information. On the other hand, you may also receive a favor, as well. You may receive new policy guidelines. Group or community interactions are also favored. If looking for work,check out service jobs, hospitality, food, or transportation. Chances for employment improve.

WORK: Research and analysis pay off this week. You could find the exact information you need to strengthen a proposal, come up with a creative solution, or apply for advanced training. If feeling a bit of stagnation, do what is in front of you, but try to avoid pushing. Fruit falls easily when it's ripe. It may be better in the long run to wait for a time when you feel more confident—even if it’s next week. If looking for work, you may find this a slow period-—unless you happen to demonstrate that you have the specific expertise an employer needs. In your Personal Year 6, November is likely to be a better month for finding work. LOVE: Love life tends to be quiet this week—mainly because you both are involved in your own projects. For some, this period could offer an opportunity for a clandestine meeting. You and your partner may be traveling in different circles this week—on business or other.

During quiet periods, inspiration often speaks clearly.

Personal Month 8     A Time to Use Your Expertise for Success

WORK: Some tough decisions need to be made this week or during the month. While you have every reason to be optimistic right now, any discouraging news must be taken in stride. Avoid reacting or letting your fears overcome good judgment. Generally, this week gives you a chance for accomplishment in a certain area of your expertise. For some, debts are repaid or mortgages sorted out. For others, money is spent for business, training, or health procedures. Invest in something for your work or job (e.g., computer, printer, suit, or plane ticket.)This is the time to quietly show what you are made of. Stay committed to realistic goals. If looking for work, you may get a call that is right up your alley. LOVE; Try not to let possible angry feelings overrule your essential love for someone. If work demands or financial woes make you too tired to be affectionate, share your burden with your partner, and let them know you do care and will make it up to them soon. PERSONAL: This week is about the process of taking charge of your life. Don't forget to find some time to exercise this week. Paying bills makes you feel more on top of things. FOCUS: Hard work and balance.

Personal Year 8       A Year of Achievement and Building Self-confidence

Personal Month 9     A Time for Gratitude, Compassion, Forgiveness

WORK: You may find this hard to believe, but September could improve your financial condition due to past good choices. On the other hand, the 9 energy of this personal month could bring an end to your current situation—if you have outgrown it. An older person (or someone foreign-born) takes time to give you a compliment, helpful hint, or little something extra. For the lucky, a gift, settlement, or inheritance could come through right at your darkest hour. If unemployed, this is probably not your best time to start a new job as the tide tends to be flowing out for awhile (October brings you the opportunity you've been looking for!) LOVE: If getting married this month, you are likely to have a relatively large or somewhat costly wedding. If already married, you may make a pricey purchase, or perhaps receive money from in-laws.

PERSONAL: Be generous even in little ways, or with your time if you are cash-strapped. Volunteer at or attend a social event benefiting a good cause.

Personal Month 1      A Time to Think About New Directions; Clarity, Confidence

WORK: The ending of something could also bring an exciting and positive new element into your life. A surprising turn of events could actually improve your situation. Creative people could get stunning new ideas or the go-ahead to pursue a plan or project. If issues of integrity, truth-telling and facing reality create uncertainty or tension, have faith in what you know to be true. Try to remain calm, and you will find exactly what you need, when you need it. Courage and boldness are favored over fear and back-pedaling. Job seekers might step into a position unexpectedly vacated. LOVE: This is an excellent time to initiate contact with someone you've had your eye one for awhile. For couples, this is a time for making a new joint decision. For some, an old pain or resentment could be healed now.

PERSONAL: Take note of all the new information you've been picking up. Treat seriously those ideas you've kept on the back burner. Follow up on chance remarks or casual invitations. Explore anything new that feels positive. FOCUS: Originality, spontaneity, self-expression, and humor.
