Lewis Carroll from chapter two of Alice in Wonderland

The good news is that the rest of the summer looks like a stupendous time for enjoying oneself.

Aries: sit bck and enjoy a little peace and harmony this month. While every one else is working at work, or working at getting back to school, you should just rest on your laurals, for a month or two: hey, it's overdue. Watch and see if Ê Mars doesn't do something unusual this month, and bring you a little peace and harmony.

Taurus: as if the first part of the summer wasn't enough, you will find that you are at odds with those people who think they comtrol your destiny. Not to worry because it's just not true. However, exercise caution when dealing with people who were predominately blue uniforms.

Gemini: the nervous energy seems to persist. It would be a good month to look forward to hearing from distant relatives, and if you don't hear from them, maybe you can call them up yourself. Mars always lends a war-like countenance to whatever activites you are currently involved in, so it would be best to avoid known conflict zones like the Middle East, Europe, Central American, major North American inner cities, and France.

Cancer: the vacation which you put off until the last minute is finally coming up: take some much needed time away from the office and relax. Put your feet up. Take a load off. Sit a spell. If you can still sniff, try to smell the flowers although the summer sun has just about cooked them all away. Relax - it is going to get better soon.

Leo: this always seems like such an augst time for the royalty of the zodiac, you know, the Leo, the sign of the King. You will find that just about everything is going your way right now, and this should be a truly enjoyable birthday party. And, in betwen parties, you will find some time for some good business deal, too. Way to go, and remember, always party on!

Virgo: it's your turn for the good news, bad news part of your life. The bad news is that money is going to be in rather short supply this month. The good news is that your attitude is going to be buoyed along despite this shortfall in cash. Inother words, your emotional life is not going to be disctated by your financial well-being. At least, not this month.

Libra: adopt a reclining position as peace, harmony and beauty all make their way to visit you. This trio of muse-like creatures all bring a certain degree of delicate balance into your life, dispelling unattractive thoughts, and moving you to a higher plane. Or maybe it just the high plains. In either case, it will be a pretty place to go to.

Scorpio: good times are just ahead! Be cognizant of some of the problems which you feel like you have left behind. Not everything is gone yet, and you are still rollicking from the sound thrashing the universe has dealt you. Hold on, things look good, just up ahead.

Sagittarius: your normal, bouncy vitality seems to be a bit off this month. No matter how appealing that trip France might seem, this is perhaps not the best time for foreign travel, not for you. Besides, your energy seems to be at a low ebb this month.

Capricorn: just like lovely Libra, you will find that the trio of peace, harmony and beauty have setlede, albeit briefly, in your corner of the world. Enjoy this bried repite from the toils and tribulations you have been experienceing as you know, this little trio will not last long in your corner.

Aquarius: if nothing else, please exert some effort to watch your driving this month because you will seem to have more than your fair share of blind spots, especially as it relates to what you perceive when you're behind the wheel of an automobile. Make sure you understand the difference between the "go" peddle and the "slow" petal.

Pisces: sometimes, it is just wonderful to be a Pisces, now isn't it? Other times, like this month, when that cruel dischotomy of work and play make a tireless effort to wear you down, make sure you do not overextend yourself. you have much to accompish, so work towards your goals. Time is of the essences, just now.
