Your Pet’s Horoscopes

Week starting: Monday, August 30th

As astrology has a profound effect on our human world so it also influences the lives of our pets.

Just as the zodiac is divided up into 12 very different personality types it is perfectly natural that this should extend to animals.
All these different traits can be explained by studying the astrological influences that determine their character and behaviour patterns. Now check out your own pet’s horoscope to see what the stars say this week - starting Monday, August 30th!

Aries

A beauty vibe is alive and well and living in your surroundings now, all you need do is tune in to it! How does this thought suit you? If you go with the energy of the moment you’ll not only be appreciating all that’s lovely in nature, but you’ll be making or receiving a series of delightful social calls! With a cast of characters gathering who, but you could be the director of all that’s going on! You surely are a pet of many talents!

Taurus

You’re looked toward as the savvy one as you’re in the proper groove to welcome friends and relatives, even if others you live with are, for whatever reason, a bit lacklustre. Being home is a barrel of fun when streams of people and animals want to play or just spend time in your fine company. With everyone offering you things to eat, take care not to overdo; you get internal warnings when it’s time to stop and you’ll certainly feel better if you take heed!

Gemini

My goodness, this is no time to sit on the sidelines, get going and connect with friends, old and new. If one or two of your regular contacts are reluctant to join in, adopt a live and let live attitude. Because of your dual nature, you’re better equipped than other pets to adapt to alternating cycles of circumstances. Belief in how special you are keeps you fortified while you wait for the shy ones to approach with a treat or a tickle for you!

Cancer

The general mood favours social activity and gathering with loved ones you may not see too often, as well as those you happily cavort with almost daily. With an open heart, you’ll make new friends during your upcoming adventures, and as a bonus, you’ll get beneficial exercise as you join in the many social excursions around town. Though there will be some differences in what you and your friends are in the mood for, they’ll come up with options even the fussiest pet could enjoy.

Leo

The sun that shines on you also shines on all around you, so keep your sunny side up and keep spreading joy and playfulness. Rather than turn up your nose at an unfamiliar guest who stops by, be cordial and let them get a look at you. This gives you a chance to get a look at them and to prepare for their next visit should they care to call again; after all, don’t you just love to show off your home and your regal self?

Virgo

If a planned visit or event must be delayed, don’t be dismayed; given enough time, you’re just the pet to put things back in order and get people back track or on the road again! Put your considerable brainpower to work and keep everyone happily engaged while you sort out the details. Is there a pet in all the world better equipped than you to formulate a new strategy? You can always distract your people and get them laughing at a fanciful new trick.

Libra

It’s hard to keep your head out of the clouds now as thoughts of seeing someone you’re fond of fill your mind. Since you’re quite eager for this friend to arrive, patience isn’t easy to come by, but your thoughts stray temporarily into a happy distraction when a flutter of wings gets you dashing after a small visitor blessed with the gift of flight. A butterfly perhaps! Just when you imagined you couldn’t think of anything but your longing, there you go, off on a colourful adventure.

Scorpio

If there’s something to be noticed, you’re the first to notice it, but after watching you watch everything and everyone, your housemate is now imitating your behaviour. Did you do something that ended badly; have your people a reason to be worried you’ll attempt something naughty? If not, what could have made them keep such a close eye on you? Solve the mystery of their concern; then launch a plan to demonstrate that you’re capable of being on your best behaviour, at least most of the time!

Sagittarius

Oh no, there’s a disagreement amongst your nearest and dearest and it’s centred around you and what you’ve been up to recently! If you could speak, those engaged in the discussion would welcome your input, but being unable to do so, you must find alternate ways to make yourself understood. Remarkably you’re inspired to communicate very creatively. While you work on this, do what you can to keep petulant people away from each other; once your plan is executed, peace will again descend on your household.

Capricorn

Being so dutiful when it comes to your chores is admirable, but in the course of events it seems you’ve become unconcerned about how you look. If one could capture a phrase to describe the energy of the times it would be to announce that beauty is in focus, so it’s appropriate that you agree to an appointment to be groomed sooner rather than later. The quicker your appearance is upgraded the faster you’ll be ready for a delightful encounter with someone whose opinion you value.

Aquarius

How unlike you to be argumentative or temperamental! Sadly a philosophical issue has you at odds; it concerns how far you can go without pushing the limits of propriety. If you lay claim to something or start even a playful fight with a friend, things go from bad to worse and you’ll be the one who pays the price. No one welcomes chaos at home so keep offensive moves to a minimum. This situation will take time to resolve; be patient with it.

Pisces

Letting your people take care of things is one plan of action, but you’re so highly attuned toward protecting your loved ones from injury, you stand ready to apply a remedy at the first sign of distress. Whether they’re guests or residents, if any youngsters are spending time in your home, you’ll be particularly in sync with their needs. In a special way you’re taking on larger responsibilities and expanding your understanding of family to include some who aren’t actually relatives; how sweet of you!
