This month passions will level off. Disappointing? You bet. You may have fallen hard for that charming person you met in August, only to discover they were already spoken for. Perhaps they had separated for a bit to see how they felt about their couple, started dating (you) and then thought better of it. Chalk it up to a summer (or winter in the southern hemisphere) romance. September this year is a month of renewal for Pig people. From the 7th onward, you will be astonished at how many co-incidences happen over a period of a couple of weeks. People out of the past suddenly appear in your local coffee shop and throw their arms around you. A long lost friend from high school decides to write you an email confessing something he or she needed to tell you for many years but didn't dare. One or the other of many co-incidences may involve someone asking you for help. As it is almost impossible for you to say NO, I take this opportunity to warn you off lending money or agreeing to witness for someone's character in court or standing in as a "beard" for someone who's cheating on their partner. Don't get involved in more than lending a hand at their birthday party or baking a cake for their wedding. Stay clear of engagements which might embroil you in dicey situations later on. September's new beginnings are mostly prevalent in your work life. You are simmering with new ideas, and when you try them out on your superiors or even by yourself... Eureka! They work. Do look after your silhouette. Those extra pounds you see accumulating must be shed by November when holiday feasts begin. An hour a day of walking will keep the weight off. But you have to get it off first. Try the low carbohydrate diet. If only for four to six weeks. Eliminate sugar and starch from your diet. Concentrate on vegetables and healthy lean meats and fish. Skip snacks. Dieting is a discipline. But if you really put your notorious pig-headedness to work on it, you can be considerably slimmer By Thanksgiving. |
