(Course, she also says "It's a rocky road for the next six weeks. Although Mercury is technically retrograde from Aug. 9 to Sept. 2 - we already feel its effects through increasing silly goofs with daily tasks and communications. Ditto for transportation delays (flat tires, empty gas tanks, etc.) But what really zaps this situation to the max is that Mercury also opposes unpredictable Uranus on Aug. 1, Aug. 18 and Sept. 13. Holy Tesla Coil! The next six weeks are packed with surprises, both exasperating and exhilarating. And while you can't plan for a surprise, you can cultivate a mindset that is more accommodating and more patient and more flexible. (It's your only hope.) And if you shoot yourself in the foot, make sure your foot isn't in your mouth.")
Yikes.
A Taoist parable tells of a poor farmer who owned a single horse. One night it ran away. The neighbors came to offer condolences. "What bad luck!" they said. "Maybe," the farmer replied. "Maybe not." A week later, the fugitive horse returned, accompanied by six wild horses. The farmer and his son corralled them. "Lucky you!" the neighbors cried. "Maybe," the farmer said. "Maybe not." Soon the son tried taming the new arrivals. A stallion threw him to the ground, breaking his leg. "Terrible luck!" the neighbors wailed. "Maybe," said the farmer. "Maybe not." The next day, soldiers visited the village. Strife had broken out between two warlords, and one had decided to conscript the local young men. Though every other son was taken, the farmer's boy was spared because of his injury. "What fantastic luck!" the neighbors said. I think this story captures the essence of your coming week pretty well, Scorpio.

Some of the most surprising and unexpected events with groups and friends will take place in the next few weeks. Who would have thunk? Bizarre characters will come into your life. You'll also meet people who are exciting, amazing and inspiring. They'll have a different background than yours. Old friends will surprise you, and groups that you deal with on a regular basis will suddenly undergo scandal, changes or exciting developments. Your personal goals might shift enormously. Your dreams are bolder and more daring! And what's this that was slipped under the door? You've been accepted at Hogwarts!
