How will our winter end? Beautifully! Venus glides through romantic Libra and Mars in earthy Capricorn. Should we mix business with pleasure? Yes. It will be an intoxicating beverage.

Virgo (Aug 24-Sept 23)

Virgos seem to know where the best parties are located this winter and why not? You are feisty, lusty and love to spread your generosity around town. You become popularity plus and will have your choice of romantic opportunities as the month progresses. Eat it all up while you can and show the Jealous Janes how to maneuver in style. Lock in your social calendar.

Libra (Sept 24-Oct 23).

As you survey your surroundings, do you like what you see? Libras have boundless energy to get things done around the house and have an intuition about what must get done by the end of the year. Make these needs known to a select group of experts and see if you can improve on your domestic planning perfection. Before you know it you will create a pink palace. Wow!

Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Your secret admirer will make herself known to you now, Scorpio. Or an unrequited crush that you may be nurturing will be unexpected revealed and happily reciprocated. The most important thing is to not be shy and retiring. There is no upside in being coy. Be bold and brash … and maybe even a bit provocative. Show her what you’ve got. Then get gotten.

Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 22)

Sagittarians think that they need to wow the crowd in order to get some attention. But you will find now that your mere presence is enough to attract a bevy of bodacious beauties into your social circle. What is it about you that have all of the hotties all hot and bothered? I don’t know, but whatever it is, try to bottle it and store some of it for those cold winter months.

Capricorn (Dec 23-Jan 20).

If you feel a bit stymied in your career, don’t panic Capricorn. This is the time to try a little charming tenderness with your big bosses. Play the corporate game and see how you can con them to your way of thinking. Any gains that you get now will fortify your powerbase so that you can conquer and rule later. Schmooze the powerbrokers with your personal ooze and you can’t lose.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)

There is so much going on behind the scenes, Aqueerians could be forgiven if they seem a little naïve and clueless. But, in fact, you are very much on the ball and carefully calculating your next big move. Think globally and plan to take an exotic international jaunt with a certain someone. Expand her horizons any way you can. Maybe you needn’t travel far after all…

Pisces (Feb 20-March 20).

Guppies find that they can get any group to dance to their tune. Get Out there and play. Anyone that you want to meet or any club that you want to join seems to come to you effortlessly. But be a bit strategic in your platonic endeavors, enjoying your frothy popularity while it bubbles. There may be some gal pals that turn into lovergrrls. If so, bring your bubbles to a full boil.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Aries are advised to spend much more time cultivating just the right balance in any important relationship. That is because you may eventually be pulled in two separate directions as your career also needs more attention and effort. Can you combine the two by working late? A certain lovely lady wants to help you file your paperwork. Is that what we are calling it nowadays?

Taurus (April 21-May 21

While you are raring to travel and explore her and her world, you may find that there is too much to do closer to home to give you the full range of freedom you need now. Taureans should try to find ways to get out of their routine but still leave them the peace of mind to totally relax and forget the trivialities of life. Remember that balance will be everything this September. Oops!

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

There is something about her that gets under your skin. As you excitedly prepare to scratch that itch, also try and focus on the subtle ways that you can suavely romance her. Sometimes a lurid little whisper in her ear will work. Sometimes a bold yet subtle action will work even better. You will discover what the best path is through trial and error, Gemini. Just rest your case while the jury is Out!

Cancer (June 22-July 23

As you decide to take a certain relationship to the next step, think about what the combined living situation needs to make it work. It may take some compromise but the effort will be worth it. Cancers love to cocoon at home. Find a lady who loves the same without making both of you couch potatoes. Or just plant yourselves and before you know it you will be surrounded by spuds.

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

Lionesses need to tackle a few nitty gritty chores before they can feel truly liberated. Focus your energy on doing what you need to do to cross things off your to-do list. Of course you can skirt the toughest tasks by trying to enlist a posse of helping hands that can make heavy work lighter. But working together might build up a sweat. How will you all decide to all cool off? Hmm.
