Horoscopes August 2015


by Yerevan readingsbyyerevan@gmail.com Aries (3/21 - 4/20)


This month you’re likely to be on fire, fired up, or feeling quite high. While things are mostly going well, family members might push your buttons in some way, and it could be tricky to not blow your top. If you’re not falling in love or somehow seeking elevation from mundane or cumbersome circum- stances you should reassess the impor- tance of what you’re doing. Reach deep in- side for the realness and rawness that sets you on course with dynamic experiences that make your heart sing.


Taurus (4/21 - 5/20)


A stabilization of finances and long term or large scale projects is occurring for you now. Although it might seem as though there is a lot of pressure on you to perform or pro- duce certain results, your energy is high and you will probably exceed the expectations of others as well as yourself. You can also expect a few happy upgrades to your home life or family circle this month, as there will be a lot of stirring and blossoming in these areas. You’re the life of the party!


Gemini (5/21 - 6/20)


This month certain rare opportunities will present themselves that you won’t want to miss. At the same time you are challenged to remain in your integrity, take care of your health, and not just take whatever sounds good. You are quite motivated toward making adjustments now that you would normally resist, especially around home life. It is actually more inspiration that finds you ready to leave a rut, drop a habit, or exit comfort zone that no longer fits who you are becoming.


Cancer (6/21 - 7/22)


Things are looking good in the financial department for you Cancer! Your popularity is expanding which might also bringing in more cash flow as well. It might be tempt- ing to spend big. Later month you could be teaching, speaking, or just sharing more of yourself with the world in general with- out being covered in your protective shell. You could be deeply considering a spiritual journey of some sort, whether this takes the form of inner or outer travels.


Leo (7/23 - 8/22)


This is a very magical month for you, not only due to your annual solar return but there is a strong and clustered planetary focus in your sign. Things might not all come easily but they will show their worth, as your own work and efforts will be appre- ciated by others. The powerful energy available to you now enables you to break down barriers and overcome obstacles that could have or would have otherwise taken years. Shine bright and show your best qualities to the world.


Virgo (8/23 - 9/22)


Opportunities are appearing in your life to make some very large changes that may seem daunting but would ultimately be for the better. It is time to make decisions based on what you truly need and want rather than what you think is proper or how you feel ob- ligated to act on others’ behalf. There could be a relationship on the brink of ending or at least a pattern of relating to that person that must shift. Speak clearly but without hostility. The “ball” is in your court.


Libra (9/23 - 10/22)


A lot of your recent ideas, dreams and vi- sions may seem too delicate yet to share with others and you would be wise to save a few of them for autumn. Some of your long held wishes are beginning to come true. You may be surrounded with friends and may find it the perfect month to attend business lectures, workshops, or to organize gather- ings with like-minded others. This is a key time for either the making or breaking of joint investments, depending on the match- ing up of values.


Scorpio (10/23 - 11/22)


It might seem that you’re suddenly on the spot, expected to perform a certain way because people are depending on you, looking up to you, and admiring you in ways that are possibly more intimidating than flat- tering. You are rising to new heights in your career or social circles! The spotlight comes with its own set of responsibilities but you are well equipped to handle what life brings your way. Is it time to delegate some of this responsibility to someone else, secretary?


or hire a


Sagittarius (11/23 - 12/21)


Not only will you find extra room to breathe but a probable break from confinements within work or living spaces of the indoors. The great outdoors beckons you to take a leap into the unknown with total faith that you will find safe landing. If you have been absorbed in the toils and troubles of neces- sity, you can anticipate a reunion with the loves in your life - and a return back home to yourself. Late August and early Septem- ber brings success and recognition of your achievements.


Capricorn (12/22 - 1/19)


Your love life may be intense or complicated this month but that should not stop you from pursuing meaningful ventures and deepen- ing the commitments you have in work and business. If anything your work will help you to keep your mind and self out of trouble by giving you something positive to focus and let other areas sort themselves out. It would be a great month for thrift shopping, antique hunting, and selling used items. Remember the moderation in all things.


Aquarius (1/20 - 2/18)


A relationship is sizzling hot and has you dancing, daydreaming, and maybe at some point considering deeper a bond of commitment to officiate your love. On the other hand this bursting energy of hotness could manifest in the way of business part- nerships and endeavors taking shape that you’ve waited for or tried pushing into mo- tion for a couple of years. Now everything you need to succeed or move forward is here, and the monetary flow is increasing.


Pisces (2/19 - 3/20)


You might be considering a relocation, a refurnishing or a total makeover for your personal rejuvenation and beautification. In some ways you seem unsettled and unsure, while in others you are freer than ever. It is the time to seek out and experience new or unusual forms of healing, particularly those that incorporate sound and light. A love re- lationship could develop with someone you work with or even for. Then again, you might just decide to hit the road.

42 million ardent fans, or “14 times the audience of Keillor’s show.” In a form of crowdsourc- ing, Misra tells stories that a flood of listeners send him— children


climb mango trees,


crowded train journeys, a yearn- ing for a gift, “leaving home” is a nostalgic theme that weaves through many.


–A true, upbeat


Hindi Indian writer and perform- er, Misra “does not allow men- tion of cigarettes, alcohol, or the macabre. The show opens up an alternate world where good does exist and has not been overtaken by material greed.” Misra main- tains the selected stories “end on


a positive note. And that’s de- liberate—in our stories, the bad guy never gets away free. I make sure people are not left feel- ing defeated.” Happy 78th Birthday, on August 8th, Dustin Lee Hoffman! 45 years ago, Arthur


Penn


directed Hoff- man in “Little Big Man,” based on the novel by Thomas Berger. In 2014, the National Film Registry selected that film for preservation. A two-time Acad-


emy Award winner, plus receiv- ing a colorful, lengthy list of other


awards, Hoffman got


the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award in 1999. Kennedy Cen- ter honors followed in 2012. Buck Hen- ry, who wrote


the screenplay for “The


Graduate,” said Hoffman’s performance showed, “A whole generation changed its idea of what guys should look like.” The old concept of “conventional good looks” no longer prevailed. If you happen to enjoy both clas- sical music and sparkling mu-


sical theater, you won’t mind raising a toast to the memory of “prodigiously talented” Leonard Bernstein, born on August 25, 1918 (d. Oct 14, 1990). One of the first conductors born and educated in America to gather global fans and enormous suc- cess, Bernstein had a long ten- ure as music director of the New York Philharmonic. He led sold- out concerts with all the great- est orchestras in the world as a result. A gifted composer with a phenomenal range of creative works to his credit, Bernstein’s extremely popular “West Side Story” is known everywhere.

A teacher asked her students to use the word “beans” in a sentence. “My father grows beans,” said one girl. “My mother cooks beans,” said a boy. A third student spoke up, “We are all human beans.”

na de Santa Rosa to Friends of Lake Sonoma. Whatever your skill set or just plain interest in helping out, there is a place for you in the exciting world of volunteering. We all have expe- rience; we all have skills; we all have heart to share. These three things are desired by others. In future columns I will be mentioning other volunteer op- portunities that you may wish to try. Your opportunities are limitless; it is only your time and energy that may be limit- ed. If your organization wants volunteers, please write me at Drannecowden@aol.com. I will contact you and share your needs in a future column.

Everyone learned from his fas- cinating programs dedicated to the world’s young people to help everyone understand all “great” music. Now, before the last barbe- cues of summertime fun be- come happy memories, here are a few “chuckles.”


In 1938,


a new house cost $3,900.00. Ah yes, average income then was about $1,731.00/year. A movie ticket cost a quarter. A new car, $860.00. Gas, 10 cents/gallon. A U.S. Postage Stamp cost 3 cents. But that was when people wrote letters to each other! – Happy August!~ Ellie
