Horoscopes: Pinnacles of success

Horoscopes:
Pinnacles of success
By Imhotep
Words, words and more words, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. You've been dealing with nothing else for days and you've just about had it -- but you can't dismiss the subject yet. Someone needs an answer, and you're the only person who can provide it.
Speaking of words, yours will carry an amazing amount of weight now. So if you are not in the mood to banter, don't try to pretend you are. You'll only leave others wondering what you really meant by that.
Coming to think of it, my dear Scales, you aren't your usual gentle self these days. So if you are trying to transport or transmit something delicate or fragile, hire someone else to do it for you. That goes for words and feelings, too, by the way -- and not just objects.
It may be a little much to begin reciting love poetry out loud, but there's nothing wrong with reading a little Shakespeare at your desk. A sonnet will inspire you this month. It is time to get out a pen and paper, archaic as it may seem and write a love letter. You don't have to mail it, writing is a good start. Don't get self- conscious -- just write from the heart.
It's all soft lights and romance this month for you, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. Think poetry and candles in late August and early September. Relaxing music. These things are nice on their own, but they're even better when you are around. Add another person and it just gets better.
And, my dear Eagles, you thought this person looked one way, but now they are starting to look a bit different. Are your eyes fuzzy? Or is the difference that you're getting to know them a little better? Are they not who you thought they were?
Still trying to make peace between warring factions -- or worse, between family members? Either way, you've got your work cut out for you, and not much time to do it. If anyone can pull this off, however, it is you.
It is summer love on the horizon for Eagles throughout late August and early September. Love is in the air. And, love enriches the intellect, purifying and elevating thought.
You thought you were born wild, my dear Eagles, but you are feeling more like a mild child. No problem -- find your favourite person to cozy up with and settle in together for a very long, lovely and lazy month ahead.
Everything around you, my dear Centaurs, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called, may seem shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Don't go over board with interpretations -- things may not be quite as complicated as they appear. Just stay grounded and focussed on facts, instead.
Sometimes, my dear Centaurs, certain circumstances can seem like a re- run of a silly TV soap opera. Fortunately, you can change the channel whenever you want. And, hell. It might be time to turn it off altogether.
Someone thinks they are mighty sly. But, unfortunately for them, you are a lot smarter. Catch them in their little tricks before they go too far and everyone will be happier for it. You've saved the day.
How long has it been since you've re-done your do, dusted the house or cleaned out your inbox? It might be time, my dear Centaurs, for a minor makeover that could work major changes in your life.
Sagittarians, frank and forthright by nature, instinctively know that honesty is the best policy. You never know what's possible until you make an attempt to see how far you can go. If you want more money, let them know. You might just get it.
Remember, my dear Centaurs, that right motives give pinions to thought and strength to speech and action.
