Libra Horoscope for November 2010
Â
By Susan Miller
Â
Â
Lately you may have felt like the famous Tantalus from Greek mythology.
Immortal Tantalus, having
committed unspeakable crimes and having stolen food from the gods, sits in a
pool of crystal clear water
that recedes from him each time bends to drink. As he reaches for the
delicious, ripe grapes hanging
directly overhead, he finds that they are just a little too far for his
fingers to grasp. No matter how hard he
tries, the fr... 阅读全帖

Sagittarius Horoscope for November 2010
By Susan Miller
The planets are sending you two different messages as November opens. On one
hand, you have Mars now
in Sagittarius giving you remarkable favor and pushing you to go, go, go at
great speed. Mars will make
you impatient, but you need to resist moving so fast. Jupiter, your ruling
planet, whose job it is to take
good care of you, has been retrograde (and therefore asleep) since July 23.
If you feel like nothing is
happening fast enough for yo... 阅读全帖

susan miller Horoscope for Aries:2日011年11月28日
Try not to let a business partner or important client get you down. You
might feel stuck in a rut or stalled in a negotiation with this person.
Perhaps he or she is making unreasonable demands, or you have come to the
realization that you might not be suited to work this closely together. Even
if this alliance has worn out its welcome, it doesn't mean you should allow
yourself to go into a funk over it. Keep your chin up!

Capricorn Horoscope for April 2012
By Susan Miller
This month could bring on a very lyrical, romantic phase, and when it
happens, it could be the best you've ever seen. It is now possible to meet
the love of your life - to have that heart stopping, life changing meeting,
promised to you this year from a rare visit of Jupiter and unlocked by a
very powerful new moon. Late April will be simply divine, starting with the
