A Vengeful Solar Opposition

Confucius suggested: before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. Maybe he was being dramatic, but the solar opposition to Saturn would like to point out that revenge does tend to heighten outcomes. Choices made for the sake of getting even aren’t typically a good energetic investment, although, arguably, wild success really is the sweetest revenge of all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). For the most part, we see what we’re looking for, though we’re not always aware of exactly what that is. Those who search for signs of an indifferent universe will find proof of it. Those who look for signs of fate’s favor will find it, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Timing aligns and you are able to handle whatever comes up. Addressing issues as they arise gives you a sense of control and empowerment. Bonus: You’ll avoid confusion and miscommunication because everyone is on the same page.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No one is above or below anyone else in this sphere of existence. Illusions may suggest a hierarchy, but the deeper truth is that all points on the surface are the same distance from the center.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Onward and upward isn’t as easy as a free fall, and it’s debatable whether the climb is more fun than the slide. And yet, you’ll take the climb. It may have you spiritually out of breath, but you’ll be, at the same time, exhilarated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll work, wait and wonder for results to finally come in. This rhythm isn’t what you’d choose. Immediate results seem like they’d be more fun to get, but actually the drama of anticipation has its merits. You’ll make friends “in line.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Acknowledge your competition. They are what make you sharp. Recognizing their strengths and challenges will drive you to improve and innovate. By appreciating the presence of worthy rivals, you harness their energy to fuel your own excellence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you stumble, don’t fret. Falling is just life’s way of quickly bringing you to more resources. While you’re down there, grab something useful before you pop back up. Tumbles make you wiser.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Anyone who’s told a captivating tale knows the dance that happens on the fine line between entertainment and deception. You’ll manage to enchant without misleading and find the sweet spot where embellishment meets authenticity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll turn off the part of your brain that is nervous about which way to go, and you’ll act decisively. You’ll know what you’re doing even when you don’t. Even if you’ve never done anything like it before in your life, you’ll still make excellent choices.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s nice to have supporters, but they are icing on the cake. Go forward with confidence regardless. Your instincts are trustworthy and will ultimately prove much sharper than you realize. Each certain step you take builds a path.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do things while you’re feeling them because feelings pass. Contrastingly, this moment won’t ever be back, but maybe its memory will, if you make one. It’s usually better to make a memory, even a bad one, than to contribute to time’s blur.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The hardest part will be coming together as a group, but once established, teamwork will maintain momentum. Over time, the group will develop a strong magnetic force that keeps everyone connected and productive.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 7). Love will animate obviously in your world this year, and you’ll lavish in the sweet attention. You’ll influence others strongly with a style that is singular and remarkably effective strategies for meeting the exhilarating challenges of life. More highlights: You’ll build beauty into your domestic life. You’ll improve and broaden yourself by getting to know a diverse array of people. Taurus and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 35, 3, 13, 27 and 9.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: In addition to a lifetime of award-winning film work, which began for her as a child, Evan Rachel Wood has made a significant impact sharing her personal experiences in advocacy of issues such as domestic violence, sexual assault and LGBTQ+ rights. Wood helped pass “The Phoenix Act,” a domestic violence bill that was signed into law, extending the statute of limitations on domestic violence felonies. Look for the Virgo leader in the drama “Backspot.”
