Irene's Predictions:

Leo
(July 23-August 22):
On August 1, a massive total solar eclipse will occur that will be sensational in its actions. It will indicate changes in your life. It will also indicate changes in shipping, the death of a statesman and changes at the ground level at zero that will be surprising. Enjoy your birthday.

Virgo
(August 23-September 22):
Some very positive changes in your career may be evident at this time. If so, enjoy the opportunity to move ahead with better pay and more opportunities to prove yourself in handling the company business. You may get surprise vacation time in addition to your regular time off for such a good time.

Libra
(September 23-October 22):
Use this time to re-formulate your plans or to re-process your most recent happenings. It’s a good time to sort out your options and your opportunities and to take on some of your best ideas to deal with work. The weekend offers you some inspiration and insight to take into the coming week.

Scorpio
(October 23-November 22):
The ideas about how to go about your work during the wee hours of Monday morning set the tone for the week ahead. You sharpen some of your communication skills as you discuss sensitive issues with bosses. This may be a good time to have important, but difficult, conversations about your job.

Sagittarius
(November 23-December 22):
The relationship with partners offers much needed clarity and awareness, but the combination of navigating troubled waters leaves you muddling through a minefield of misunderstandings in your relationships. You find a bit of peace and tranquility, but the aggravation brought on seems like a fairytale.

Capricorn
(December 23-January 19):
A slow down in your work plans or a dip in your mood may occur. Rather than feeling discouraged, look for ways to sustain your energy on that long-term project; work smarter, not harder to get the situation cleared up. You have the know-how to get your work finished before it is needed.

Aquarius
(January 20-February 19):
Plenty of high anxiety occurs as the week begins. Use this energetic interaction to make short work of plans and projects that have stalled in recent weeks. Avoid the temptation to overdo, though, or you’ll end up too spent to accomplish much of anything. Take your time and do everything right.

Pisces
(February 20-March 19):
Tuesday accelerates your activities and adds to the high-spirited commotion. Just tend to financial matters, and security needs and matters will automatically slow down. Take time away from the business of summer and reflect on what you really need to feel right with the daily world.

Aries
(March 20-April 20):
The contradictory conversation between you and some of the employees points to tough choices between opportunities and obligations. Find a way to have a bit of both in your life, as well as being reminded that happiness is, and can be, a choice, creating a lovely time to reconnect with family.

Taurus
(April 21-May 19):
The week gathers speed, and while you may not be able to act on tips immediately, take note of unexpected information and conversations that come your way and file them for future reference. Set things straight and clean out the clutter and cobwebs in your life and your mood will soar.

Gemini
(May 20-June 22):
Mood soars and opportunities beckon, as an enduring bond is now negotiable. It’s time to consider the quality of your relationships, especially when you are offered the option to promise and pledge a serious connection with someone you have yearned for, for a very long time.

Cancer
(June 23-July 22):
Heed the heavenly hint to stop spinning your wheels. Retreat, reflect, and reorganize your plan of attack at your workplace. A multitude of innovative initiatives ignite your imagination. Preserve your peace of mind by allowing plenty of time for errands and brief encounters with others.
