Here are the weekly predictions for Sept 21st to Sept 27th
Aries:
You will have to focus on the practicalities of life now. As if you haven’t been served up a generous meal of work, involvement, things to do in life, there’s still more to come. Your earning capacities will be scrutinized and revamped. You may find that cut-backs are necessary. Extra earnings tempt you but you will study your options and may even decide to play safe instead. The money will not be bad, so it’s probably a wise decision to cut your coat according to the cloth. In this spirit, you approach your work with determination.
Taurus:
You are good at both — money and spirituality, or at least consider both to be vital for quality life. You use original techniques but good sense and restraint, in handling funds, capital, and joint-finance. You display an almost lethal combination of moral integrity and savvy that is virtually unbeatable. A kick-start to both financial and spiritual spheres therefore comes in this quarter, so that both zoom along to your satisfaction rather than surprise. In addition to personal progress and growth, you can also focus on family welfare.
Gemini:
A pleasurable week for you. Some problems that have you worried for a long time will get solved. A bit of social interaction, some fun/recreation, perhaps a sport/game undertaken, never hurt anyone yet. Put a little distance between your breathing space and anyone that annoys you. You have a gift for literally flipping a switch in your mind and making certain people and situations just disappear. Starting this week, find ways to quietly protect your assets, dump liabilities and enhance your financial security. Be discreet and quiet, even when you feel overjoyed and victorious. Since some of your colleagues may find themselves in less promising circumstances than yours, do not gloat.
