Have you ever played poker? It's a fun game, because it's based on both
luck and skill. While either can make up for the other, skill and the
ability to play the game confidently are the greater part of the equation.
At the moment you have both going for you. If you feel like a lot is
at stake, I would say that the stars concur. Now is a time to move through
the world with alertness, care and confidence, and take your chances
one at a time. You will need to make decisions this month; they may feel
truly life-shaping, and you can be truly grateful to have such an opportunity. |

For once the winds of fortune are blowing stronger than the winds of
fate. But no aspect of your life will move any further than your imagination
leads you. Imagine that the visions of yourself and what is possible
are like blueprints of the world you can build if you want. But you need
the ideas, and I have no doubt that if you focus your mind, you will
be able to see your future, just in time for the natural forces of life
to push you gently in that direction. Then -- and this is most important
of all -- you will need to trust.

With some confidence, I can predict that your professional life will
take some surprising turns this month, and there really is no limit where
you can go. What you cannot do, however, is cling to old ideas about
what is possible, particularly if they came from your parents. If you
can allow yourself to be free from all influences except the ones you
choose, you will not only see your real goals, you will believe they
are possible to attain, and start to make bold moves in that direction.
But the key to freedom, above all else, is a truly open mind. |

There was a moment when the Beatles first arrived in the United States.
They were visited in their hotel suite by a young singer named Bob Dylan.
He basically said to them, you're in a very unusual position, and a lot
of people are listening to you. Why don't you say something meaningful?
And that is what they did. Right now, my Cancerian cousin, you're in
a position where you can really make a lasting mark on the world. So
I'll play the role of Dylan and put it to you as well: I suggest you
do something meaningful, because it won't be forgotten anytime soon.

There are few subjects that deserve more attention than the power of
belief. We have all seen this working. It is true that there are stronger
things in the world than belief -- but what we think is true works out
to be the main influence over what we perceive, and thus perceive as
possible. Right now the doors of what you believe are about to be blown
wide open, with the result being you will have a true moment of knowing
that anything is possible. And when that moment comes, I ask you: what,
exactly, do you want to be possible? Think well, and remember what you
come up with. |

There is a belief in life that everything we do involves an exchange.
As a Virgo, you are often inclined to believe that the thing that must
be exchanged is your identity. Now, this usually happens below consciousness.
But I am sure you've noticed that it's pretty easy for you to lose your
independence in relationships. What happens this month will show you
how this process works, and what you can do about it. Just remember that
you really are the one making the choices. And that includes the choice
to be entirely yourself -- or to compromise that, often to your own detriment. |

(Sep. 22-Oct.

The first thing you need to remember is that you don't really have any
control over the situation that's unfolding in a relationship. The second
thing to remember is that you'll therefore need to work with something
other than control. So what might that something be? Well, let's see.
You have learned an incredible amount about your past history and your
emotional tendencies the past few months. The first decision you have
is whether to respond like what is happening is happening in the past,
and you've seen it all before; or whether it's happening right now, and
is an entirely new situation. |

The question that's developing in your life is one of the most meaningful
that a human can ask: does the work I do every day really represent who
I am inside? Other people seem to put this question aside. We all hear
grim stories of why people do certain kinds of work, that involve no
part of their inner truth. You do not have this luxury, and you can be
happy about that. The cosmic forces are guiding you firmly toward an
exact alignment between the concepts of "who you are" and "what
you do." Don't be afraid to make any change you need, because these
chances don't happen often.

You've always been able to count on being the most adventurous person
you know. If nobody else plucks up the courage to initiate a new idea,
try something, go somewhere or attempt the impossible, you know you're
the one. These days, however, you seem more than ready to outdo yourself,
and you stand a more than fair chance of success. The thing to avoid
is taking a risk purely for the sake of it. And the thing to do is make
sure your choices are directly in accord with your highest personal truth.
No cheating on this one; the fact is you're not in a position to settle
for anything less. |

If you feel yourself being pulled in two directions, could it be that
you're afraid to make a decision? Remember, you of all people should
not have to fight for what you think is right; it's your business and
you know it. So to begin with, I suggest you refuse to argue, and stop
yourself cold when you're getting defensive about what you really know
is entirely your prerogative. Once you get everyone else's opinions out
of the way, you'll get to assess whether you're really feeling fear --
and the chances are, you'll discover that, in truth, you are not. |

Aquarians share a reputation for being some of the most revolutionary
people in the world, and some of the most practical. I would encourage
you not to compromise and think you have to be one way or the other right
now. It turns out that the most innovative choice you can make or idea
you can create has enormous practical value that will only increase with
time. Yet it's true that you need to cast aside all your brittle beliefs
about what is possible or impossible, and go straight for what you know
you want, or better still, what you know must be. Then, make it so.

Remember that you're a work in progress, which is saying quite a lot
right now. Progress has been volcanic lately, and the idea of "who
you are" is bubbling and making entire new continents. Set aside
the feeling of instability. Embrace the truth that you can shape your
own life, and you will open up some brilliant possibilities. You've never
been one to fear being a little strange, though you must know by now
that if you proceed on the current path, strange will be an understatement
-- in the best possible sense of the word. You're different, and you're
getting very good at it.
