AQUARIUS: August 20-27

“The thorn arms the roses,” goes an old Latin motto. Astrological omens suggest you’ll be wise to muse on that in the weeks ahead. How should you interpret it? Draw your own conclusions. A few hints: It may be that beauty needs protection or at least buffering. It’s possible you can’t simply depend on sincerity and good intentions, but need to infuse some ferocity into your efforts. For fragile, lovely things to do what they do best, the help of strong, hearty allies may be needed.
