and with wine, for the week of August 21-27. This week starts off ‘swell‘ but deflates towards the end. The focus is mainly on work and money, again, initially. As the weekend looms closer the attention shifts towards more social and indulgent affairs. With the eclipse close at hand, and the violent events that continue to shake the US still palpable, I opt for following the path of work, keep tilling that soil, “chopping wood, and carrying water.” Also, traditionally, eclipses don’t bode well, and I won’t be devoting time talking about it. I hope everyone’s week brings promise and hope. And if you do happen to catch the eclipse as it makes its way across the US, enjoy it!

Monday
Don’t avoid crossing those agitated waters, very little is achieved through avoidance. Monday asks for courage and aptitude.

Tuesday
This day finds us leaning and trusting on others for motivation with work-related matters. Teamwork indeed has its benefits.

Wednesday
In true mercurial fashion, today is about communication and interactions, most likely following up from Tuesday’s endeavors. Be open and clear with your ideas and thoughts, this fosters balance for you, and hopefully harmony among your peers.

Thursday
Today is about investments and retention. Take stock of where you invest your coins and make sure to not leave any stone unturned.

Friday
It looks to me like there are some ties you are going to have to learn to break, manage, or rise above. Today is about the body, the passions and desires.

Saturday
This one follows Friday appropriately. Saturday opens with the epithet “hot and bothered,” naked even. There is discomfort and division here. Take some time to relax and drink liquids.

Sunday
A full turn around greats us here, as the weeks closes on a slightly sour note, your hand reaches out for the baton to begin the cycle anew. Take heart that whatever troubles come, one does what one can, and then continues to press onward. Keep going.
