Fantasy versus the cold, hard facts marks this week’s theme. As the season begins to change, we get a chance to evaluate and take stock of our state of affairs…or stick our fingers in our ears and hum the theme to Cinderella’s ball. With the new moon imminent and in standoff to Neptune, it’s probably a good time to let go of any blinders you’ve been wearing: fashion statement or otherwise.

Leo

Let’s say you’re celebrating your fifth birthday again, frostingy cake in hand. One wish, and let’s harness a Virgoan sensibility to make it happen and make it last. Chuck dreams of golden eggs.

Virgo

Karma deals a tight hand this week with the new moon in your house of secrets. Come clean to a partner about a long-standing financial issue you’ve been sitting on. X marks the spot, love.

Libra

Even the best public speakers need to garner a few tips now and then. Take the time to build skills so the payoff is that much sweeter.

Scorpio

Now would be a fabulous time to indulge in a big meal, if you can stomach the big bill. Throw caution to the…it’s inevitable that you’ll get dinged for it, but…oh well?

Sagittarius

You’ve got a lot of planetary support right now, although that might not exactly feel like your current reality. Money’s tight, hopes wane, and back-to-school has you nervous. Sit tight. Hide and watch.

Capricorn

A parade through your house of taxes and other people’s money makes me certain any major income now won’t be through your own efforts. Old debts are settled, and hopefully Aunt Nancy mails you a Prius.

Aquarius

Get out pen and paper and list off all your dreams. That’s one column. Finances in the other. Now get them to make friends. (Note: neither’s a big lush.)

Pisces

Caretaking earns you points, if not cash, this week. You’re the martyr of the zodiac, so you don’t mind either way. (Oh, don’t be so sensitive…I love you!)

Aries

If your lover’s not willing to spring for your steak, I’m Barbra Streisand.

Taurus

Why are things hard at home? Because, my friend, you’ve got WORK to do! Let the paperwork pile on the job a little in favor of some tidying with the Mrs.

Gemini

What happens when you sit back and watch? Stock tips, free pie, a new idea?

Cancer

Retune your body for added energy and a new lease on payday. Call it the first day of a new year.
