Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 21)
Mars is giving your career a powerful boost all month; even if you feel like there are delays, you're set to shine on all fronts. I know you're working hard, Virgo, and trust that soon it will all pay off. Though for your love life's sake, remember to come home early at least once in a while. You can work hard with your lover, too.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)
Venus has been in retrograde since July, but good news: she's direct now, and you can move forward with ease, and not just in the boudoir. If you and your boss haven't been seeing eye-to-eye, or if you and your lover have been arguing over the remote control (for the TV or other toys), suddenly everything will flow for you. Isn't makeup sex great?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
There will be sudden changes afoot at the office, and I'm not talking about a new coffee maker. If the organization shifts, now's your chance to step up to the plate and hit one out of the park. You've got what it takes to be MVP, and hey, with all your star power, go wild — you can convince higher-ups to pay for that coffee maker and a toaster.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The stars predict that you'll be earning some gold stars, yourself. You might be elevated to a new position, or have new responsibilities tossed your way. It will require a good deal of determination and organization, but pretty soon you'll be shining brightly. Here's hoping a raise, plus all that glory, comes as part of the deal.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Yes, it's almost time for new fall television. Ah, the intoxicating plotline possibilities of Pushing Daisies, Cavemen and a new season of Two and a Half Men. It will be tempting to come home, throw yourself on your couch and bliss out to mindless reality shows. But now's the time to pay attention to your own dreams, not the ones Hollywood manufactures for you. Be strong and go after what you want; the stars say you'll get it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Donald Trump's companies have filed for bankruptcy, but the man is still married to a model and is worth millions. Take inspiration from his fearlessness in the face of financial failings. If this week's eclipse brings you a little money trouble, follow The Donald's lead — you'll find success despite temporary setbacks. Just don't visit his stylist.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Sometimes it's easy to ignore the bumps in the road; potholes won't slow you down. But if you're experiencing speed bumps in your relationships, it won't do any good to rev the engine and try to race away. Take the time to work things out with your partner now; then you can both go cruising together.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
If the eclipse brings up health issues, just remember that these are advance warnings. Just like when the car starts rattling, you get the tire fixed before the engine explodes. (That's technical jargon, there.) So take care of yourself, visit the doc or start that exercise routine. They say the secret is to find an activity you like; a half-hour of sex burns 100 calories, just so you know.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
You'll be on fire this week, Taurus. I'm not sure if it will be a creative project you throw your heart and soul into, or a love affair your throw your body (and perhaps soul) into. Either way, you'll be applauded for your innovation and imagination. Always good, both in the boardroom and the bedroom.
Gemini (May 21-Jun. 21)
Tuesday's new moon solar eclipse will bring home buying, repair, or decoration to the forefront. You may feel the need to clean the fridge, finally hang that picture of your mum, buy new bedding or, hell, buy a new bed. Just make sure it's sturdy — the stars say you'll be quite lucky in love, as well.
Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Are you identifying with Kanye West's up-and-coming young dude from "Gold Digger"? You got ambition, baby? You should. The planets are shifting things up; your past money worries will dissipate as new income and new opportunities stream into your life. This week you're mopping floors, but next week you'll be washing lettuce. Then the grill!
Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)
Venus just turned direct, casting a gorgeous golden glow on your social life. If you're in a relationship and the lovin' has been a bit lukewarm, you've got what it takes to heat things up now. Single? You'll be irresistible. The weather may be cooling down, but you are hot, hot, hot all week. Make the most of it.
