Arrivederci, Summer Love!

Catherine,
Any doubt you had about your current position in life is put to rest as the Moon makes its way into a new Sign. You would add much to your credibility if you converted some old rivals into allies. Work hard to convince unlikely partners to go along with your ideas. Do not break anything that can't be fixed.

The last couple of days reconfirmed the blessings I have in my life. After the experiences I've had this year, I finally took a moment to look back and consider how they affected me. As I leave my favorite city again, I go with the knowledge that everything happens for a reason. Change is okay. And when I come back, some things may be different while others remain frozen in time until I'm ready to pick up where I left off. No amount of force on my part will keep anything the way it is if it is not meant to be. Therefore, I vow to stop trying to control what I cannot and let nature take its course.

I'm still unsure of who I am becoming, but for the first time I can enjoy life and simply live an adventure. Each day is a chance to change for the better, so why hold on to the past when the future is already brighter?

Last Weekend at Home

Catherine, When you're in this kind of great mood, the only person to whom you owe an explanation is yourself. It might not be what you want to hear, but you and a romantic partner may be more comfortable as friends. Don't try to continue a relationship if you are getting nothing out of it. Avoid blaming anyone today without hearing his or her side of the story.

I'm leaving home again in a few days, and I don't know if the move has ever been this bittersweet. I have so much to look forward to this semester, and I've actually moved my trip up a couple of days. (If you know me, you'll know that this is epic.) But the most eventful summer of my life is concluding. Soon everyone will be adopting a new daily routine once again, so I know we'll just have to put things on pause until we reunite. However, with my recent history I know that when I come back, things may not be the same yet again.

I hope this time is different.

Last Eleven Days of Summer

Catherine,
You suddenly have the power and the desire to make dreams come true, whether they're yours or someone else's. Work on improving your own image before you try to change someone else's. You are the most important person in your life right now. Someone may be trying hard to make you look bad.

This may be the only time in our lives when we are allowed to be self-centered. We are young. A lot of young people waste their years worrying about other people.. whether it is in a relationship, focusing on what others think of them, or obsessing over someone else's life. They become so engrossed in one thing that they cannot see clearly past to notice the opportunities awaiting.

We need to live unapologetically and stand for something. We need to learn the beauty of balance. We need to find our purpose and our personality without constantly comparing ourselves to others. We need to try new things, meet new people, and find passion without relying on others to make us happy. We need to break molds and believe that we are invincible as long as we're alive.

Our youth is short. The world might not be a better place once the opportunities pass us by.

Just Throwing It Out There...

Catherine,
Those who like being watched will just have to be satisfied with a distant audience right now. Problems in your personal life will continue to intensify unless you have a heart-to-heart talk with a loved one. You must stop avoiding the difficult issues. The two of you must try to spend more time together.
