Vacation
Tips Suggestions on how and where to enjoy your
precious time off.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Your Road to Wealth
If it were up to you, Libra, everything
would be sold at a fair price. When products or services cost
too much, it upsets your equilibrium. Yet, should you feel
you need to negotiate, the process comes to you as naturally
as breathing. Few signs can match the bargaining power
of a Libra! Your highly-analytical talents give you
the ability to negotiate for a living, the reason Libras make
such legendary labor leaders and lawyers. Because you are
ruled by Venus, you would
profit from investing in precious gems and natural metals,
such as diamonds, gold and Libra-ruled copper. Your love of
art and your sophisticated level of taste indicate that you
could do well by investing in fine art objects. You might
choose to purchase pieces created by as-yet-unknown artists,
after you have seen their work and studied current trends.
Partnerships tend to be lucky for you, so think
about saving and investing jointly with your mate, or in mutual
funds, stocks, or bonds with a trusted business partner. Libra
is a very generous sign and enjoys the luxuries of life. Seeing
friends is vital to Libra's well being, so entertainment is
where Libras tend to spend the most money. Despite your low-key
and diplomatic exterior, Libra likes to be in charge. Being
self-employed is often a goal for ambitious Libras.
The slightly bossy side to Libra is rarely apparent -- your
ruler Venus seems to keep this part of you under wraps. You've
found that charm works better anyway!
Hint: Looking or feeling
shabby can have a negative effect on your morale. Your
sign needs to look good in order to feel good and perform
effectively. It may not be such a bad idea to invest
in a few well-designed pieces of clothing, so you can "dress
for success" while you are going for the gold!
Your Financial Outlook for the
Year 2000 and Beyond
1999 is your most expensive year in recent
memory. After a financial workout from Mars
in your income sector, you will be ready to look for ways
to increase your wealth in 2000. Caution must be your
byword. You have Saturn
in your 8th sector of joint
income, suggesting that whatever debt you accumulate in 1999
could be with you for some time. Unfortunately, Saturn won't
depart this area of your chart until April 2001. Be ultra-careful
about sending your payments in on time, so that you can protect
your credit rating. Take care with how you file your taxes
during the year 2000, too. Saturn's presence in your 8th sector
increases your chances of a tax audit.
If you invest in stocks, the presence of planets
in Aquarius in your 5th sector
suggests that you should invest in high-tech industries. However,
with so many planets lining up in Taurus in May 2000, you
must watch your investments closely. A global stock market
correction will likely occur at the end of April or in early
May 2000, when Uranus and
Neptune challenge seven
planets touring Taurus. Stick to blue chip stocks and enlist
the services of a reputable, talented financial advisor to
assist you. You might be wise to go for a second opinion,
even then. The year 2000 could turn out to be a volatile
year for you, so take every precaution and follow a conservative
path.
With so many planets in your 8th sector of
joint financial resources in 2000 (seven out of ten in May!),
you seem to have begun an important investment project.
There are many possible applications to this trend, and all
of them involve a big idea! You may be starting a new business
and looking for venture capital, or graduating from school
and looking for ways to pay off your education loans. Maybe
you will be investing in property, buying land or renovating
a house. Or you could simply be upgrading your investment
portfolio, doing family estate planning, or working out what
to do with an inheritance.
Your big plan requires cash from an outside
source, and you are working out the details of raising funds
in May of 2000. This project appears to be quite extensive,
and ties together many elements of your life, like home, family,
career, salary, investments, maybe even a loan from a friend
or a grant from an institution. Be careful and follow
all the rules that your banker, accountant, auditor, and financial
advisors may require. Saturn in your 8th sector will
demand you do things properly.
Jupiter
will help you protect your interests during the first half
of 2000, so don't be deterred from your quest for a better
life! Your best point to ask for a raise or try to win that
important new job is the new moon
on October 27, 2000. Because of a challenge to Neptune, get
any financial promises from your boss or client in writing,
if you can. If you aren't especially careful, confusion or
a misunderstanding could result.
Pluto
(planet of rebirth) in your 3rd
sector suggests that the best way for you to find financial
security is by selling your ideas and information. Your
best product to "sell" to employers is your intellect.
If you are a writer, this is a very powerful trend for you,
and you could do exceptionally well. All Libras will discover
they are expressing themselves more often, and that they need
to communicate in a crystal clear manner to achieve their
greatest success and financial gain. Pluto will not leave
until the year 2008, so you have plenty of time to polish
your skills and your reputation. Pluto also indicates that
you may need to travel a short distance to reach your best
clients, and that it will be easier for you to find a new
source of income should an old one dry up.
