What you see is what you get. That's your motto, and it's quite a theme
for you this summer. Yes, people love to lay on the images, illusions,
glamour and glam. You have to be you, and now you have the strength,
the awareness and most of all, the desire. You know you don't do anyone
any favors by pretending you're someone you're not. But you may not win
any popularity contests, either, because when any one person gets real,
that shocks other people either into promptly doing so, or freaking out
because they're hiding who they are. But none of that needs to matter. |

In our culture we're rather bad at endings. We'd do much better with
them if we paid more attention at beginnings. For the moment, you have
a good opportunity to resolve something that may have happened long ago,
even years ago. If you do this, you'll notice the dividing line that
separates you from your own history. And it's only when you're free from
the past that you can be free in this moment. For a while this process
may feel like walking through a crack in the wall, but if you persist,
the stone face will part.

You'll need to leave yourself plenty of room for your emotions. That's
different than letting your feelings fly all over the place, however.
It's just that in any situation, how you really feel needs to be the
most important quality that guides your decisions. You're a quick thinker,
but you're a more careful feeler -- so leave yourself time and don't
let anyone pressure you with their intensity, insistence or their own
personal struggle. Take care of your life and stay with people who take
care of theirs. |

In the summer of 2003, the planet Saturn entered your birth sign, beginning
a process or completely revamping your life that has now nearly reached
its conclusion. We could say you've been forced to grow up before your
time, but that's never true where astrological aspects are concerned.
When the astrology happens, it is indeed time. There can be no denying
that you've gained unusual wisdom in these years, perhaps at the cost
of a long-term struggle or two -- but we both know it was worth it.

If you have any friends who are born under the sign Cancer, ask them
the story of the past two years. Ask them what they would do differently
if they could. Take a few notes. And then make a list of all your worst
complaints about your life. Be brutally honest with yourself about what
you want to change, improve, develop and strengthen. Remember to include
personal qualities, people and things you don't want in your life at
all. Then, wake up each day from this point onward, and make a little
progress. Not a lot, just a little. |

You are not someone who worries about being a popular person; though
few know it, you are one of the most rugged individualists of all the
people in your life. Keep it up. This is not a time to conform to the
wishes and whims of others, not a time to play the 'game of life' and
it's not a time to decide on some radically new purpose for yourself.
You now know why you're alive, and all you need to do is remember every
single day. You don't necessarily need to do anything else -- just remember,
and be strong in your knowledge. |

(Sep. 22-Oct.

You have all the skill and talent you need. Now you need to charm the
socks off of authority figures and get them to do exactly what you need.
It's true that someone might be doing what seems like a big favor for
you, but it's bigger for you than it is for them. And you more than deserve
the help. Still, be appreciative, express your gratitude, and then without
a second thought, go forth and succeed. You have what it takes, and you're
especially well suited to find your own special place in the world. |

Few people have actual faith in themselves. Most learn how to act confident
and basically fake it. That's fine, if you have to survive the afternoon
at a cocktail party in the shrink-wrap industry with no prior experience,
but not a good way to live. You now have the gift of getting past your
number one worst confidence issue: having swallowed the big-time insecurity
of one of your parents. Maybe you know which one. Maybe you know their
hang-up. Now's the time to push right past it; to plow through it; or
to sweep it aside like curtains.

Sagittarius is the true lone wolf of the zodiac. It's not that you don't
need or love your friends; it's that you would be the first to forego
any outside support if you wanted to do something that nobody else believed
in. But if you're getting that feeling now, I suggest you look again.
Psychologically, you may be feeling isolated. But in truth, your daring
quality, your intelligence and your willingness to fail in order to succeed
are an inspiration to many around you. Ask for their help and you'll
very likely get it. |

(Dec.
22-Jan. 20)
Does love always have to be so much work? Well, not if you allow other
people to do some of it. You have set a high standard for personal integrity,
and now you need to let others show you they care as deeply for you as
you do for them. Please don't assume anything; you must hear the words,
and sense the feelings, direct from their heart. Nothing else will have
true credibility. Give people space to feel their feelings, and listen
carefully when they speak. I trust you will like what you hear. |

(Jan. 20-Feb.

Live by example, and people will figure out that you're onto something.
The example you can set is to try your hand at one thing that you've
been planning on, or by acting on one idea that seemed good at the time
you thought it up. Then, follow through until it's clear that you've
succeeded or failed. This may be the challenging part -- but it's quite
necessary for you right now. Too many of your great inventions have gone
by the wayside. Make the next one count -- for your benefit and for everyone
else's.

Combine the best elements of your highly ethical professional intentions
with a healthy drive to profit from your work, and you cannot go wrong.
This month will be full of both rare ideas and opportunities for success.
For once, consider that success both in terms of the creative value of
something, and as its financial value. Most who consider themselves good
people miss this connection, or feel there is something inappropriate
about benefiting too much from providing what people truly need. But
what is the alternative?
