CR Times Horoscope – Aug 20th to Aug 26th


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 This week is all about expanding your horizons-emotionally, spiritually and physically. This can also mean that you have to be willing to go beyond what you have become comfortable with and see what may be possible. The status quo can often be a barrier to growth even if it feels “safe” We aren’t meant to live with obstructions-even of our own design-so take that first step. The truth is out there.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 Being open to new ways of looking at things-particularly in work and financial matters-could provide some long term benefits during the next seven days. Pay close attention to what is going on around you even if it seems unimportant as you can discover a way to resolve a problem you’ve been wrestling with for a while. Tale care to avoid the trap of over-confidence since the future is always in flux.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 Dealing with people in general is going to be challenging this week. Keep in mind that the irritations that seem to be caused by others may be a reflection of your internal dissatisfaction with your own situation right now. Avoid making hasty decisions involving personal relationships at this time as these could become a source of regret later on. Instead, take an emotional breath (or two) and ride out the storm.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 Flashes of insight-particularly in romantic situations-could make this a very intense week. You may finally be able to allow those deep inner feelings to come forth they can be appreciated, acknowledged, and shared with that special someone. You are about to discover that the person who has been detaining you from finding the emotional connection is-YOU. Let this knowledge illuminate your heart to move ahead.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 This week all the stress that you’ve been feeling recently-particularly in the financial realm-is beginning to lift and your self-confidence in making the right decisions returns. Taking the practical approach allows you to make progress; even if the pace isn’t as fast as you would like, it is steady. Understanding the constraints of the time is also important. Just remember to check your ego at the door. .
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 Emotional conflicts make this week a real challenge for you. On the romantic front, an unpredictable response from your love interest could catch you by surprise and force you to maintain some internal balance. Financially, you may find yourself trying to balance between conservation of resources and a spending splurge. Remember to stay true to your principals and things will improve by week’s end.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 Looking before you leap-particularly in the romantic realm- should be the watchwords of this week. All actions-even positive ones-come with a cost; be certain you know what that is before committing yourself. Communication is crucial which means being able to listen and well as expressing your own desires and wants. Keep in mind that you cannot go where you haven’t yet begun.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 This week finds you reassessing exactly where you are, how you got there and most importantly, where you are going. Trying to balance your sense of security with the desire to know more will be a challenge mid-week. You may discover that something (or someone) you held to be true may, in fact, be less than what you believe. Keep control as best you can, and keep on keeping on.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 Creative expression in personal relationships (romantic and otherwise) is important this week. Be careful not to get so caught up in searching for hidden agendas since this will drain energy from what could be a productive and fun seven days. Power struggles could occur near week’s end -especially if you give in to the temptation to try and manipulate things towards getting your way.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20You have been pushing yourself so hard that you’ve lost sight of exactly what it is you are working towards. A change in the weather (spiritually speaking) is in the offing and could open your eyes to the fact that you may have been willing to accept less than you should-particularly in the career area. What is called for is to set your priorities to balance work with reward and then follow through.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 This is not a good week to make financial commitments; if that offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Although the temptation is to find the quick answer, failing to look at things objectively could cause more problems than solving them. A strange or unexpected encounter early in the week may have an unusual affect on you emotionally. Again, remember to do a reality check before saying “yes”.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 Financial and romantic matters become entangled this week leaving you to deal with an unstable situation. How you approach it will have a long term impact on you and your partner. As hard as it might be, you have to be willing to share the decision making process even as you try to maintain your own responsible role. A sudden resolution mid-week could leave everyone trying to catch their breath.
