Madame G guide to the stars WEEK OF AUG. 19 – 25

E-mail Print PDF

The Sun exits Leo on Aug. 22 and enters Virgo Aug. 23. The devil is in the details and Virgo is right there beside him — judging you. This attention will bleed into your verbal and written communication patterns. Madame G suggests you enjoy life precisely (as it is) at this moment. And if you must have your latte at exactly 120 degrees, no one will judge you too harshly. Drink up!

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

If you experience a sudden disappointment or find that you accidently let something slide, don’t despair. To err is human. It’s not what happens that defines us — it’s how we respond to it. Madame G suggests you lean into your family and get strength from their support. Don’t panic! Everything happens for a reason. Use this to your advantage.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Show compassion for those who don’t deserve it. One of life’s biggest challenges is working with people. It’s especially hard when they’re an emotional wreck. We can’t control anyone except ourselves. If you want mental toughness — you must develop it. You can’t expect someone to love you like you do. Live according to your values, or risk having nothing left. Your life is a gift.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Do what works for you. It’s hard to imagine a better way to manage your life or that of your friends. But the issue is that you can’t live someone else’s life. Your only option is to live your life. Don’t waste your time living according to someone else’s standards. Be yourself. Live your dreams!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Love is your friend. But if you treat your friends like enemies, that’s what you’ll get in return. It’s hard to tell the difference sometimes, especially when love turns a little sour. Ask yourself what’s important and how you’d like to see yourself in 20, 40, or 60 years. Will you have lived and loved? You must learn forgiveness in order to be happy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re a bright and shining star among the gloomy clouds. A smile is your friend — your best friend. You’ve one of the biggest and brightest personalities of any of the signs. You’re a true gift to your friends. As we head into trying times, you’ll find that others lean on you for support and love. Shower them with kindness and provide your shinning light for others to see because they may have none. It’s up to you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Life forces us into the direction we must take. Have you been hesitating to live your dreams? Maybe you haven’t accomplished your life’s goals yet. Whatever the case, now is a good time to live the life you want. Don’t hesitate. Listen to what the music of the universe is telling you. Sometimes it’s subtle and soft like a flute. But often it’s loud and sounds like a full-fledged band. Take notes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Life isn’t always a bowl of cherries or chocolate. But it certainly has its moments. If you’ve forgotten to dot your I’s and cross your T’s, you’re not alone. It’s probably just a case of the end-of-summer blues. Never fear, this too shall pass. The dog days are here, but fall is wonderful. Don’t forget to smile.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Is now a good time to live your dream? No one doubts your ability to accomplish the impossible or summit the highest mountain. But success means nothing without fulfillment. What do you want? Your life’s purpose should guide your movements, actions, and life. It’s up to you to live a life without regret. If you feel trapped — it’s your own fault. Remember, fortune favors the bold. And happiness belongs to those who are willing to accept it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Take wise and deliberate action, with minimal risk. You may wish to live a life of wild abandon (and perhaps you will). But considerate thought helps. Consider the risks you take. Sometimes they’re worth it, but you can’t really be sure unless you’ve had a moment to think and plan. Think before you act. You’ll be grateful for the action.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

What is success or freedom to you? It’s in your best interest to live the life you want. You’re not very nice when you don’t. Share your fears and love with family, and don’t murder their enthusiasm with pessimism. Live well! Eat well! And enjoy a nap with someone special — from your spouse to the family dog. You’re the only one who can make you happy. The rest is just icing on the cake.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your life is a bit hectic. You may even want to run away. Don’t! There’s a time to exit gracefully and a time to dig in your heels. Consider where you are at this moment. Quitting isn’t always the end. Sometimes it’s a beginning. But you must first question your motives. Are you acting out of fear or passion? Chose wisely!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Trust isn’t always easy, especially if you’re not ready to share it. You may be one of the more passive signs of the zodiac, but you’re not weak. You’re also not perfect. If you’d like to really make a connection with others, don’t be afraid to share your insecurities and fears with those you love. Your family might surprise you.
