Astrologer Susan Miller, author of The Year Ahead, 2012 And Beyond, visited The Couch to offer horoscopes for the weekend. Here's what she had to say.

This coming weekend, August 11-12, will be divinely relaxed and perfect for travel -- for everyone.

Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, will conjoin the moon, making it a remarkably happy time for everyone to travel short distances -- to the beach or mountains --- or to work on improving a writing project.

You will always have two weeks AFTER a new moon appears to plant seeds of change. Options will arise that are new and exciting! The actions you take in the two weeks that follows can affect you for a year or more into the future, until the next new moon has time to come by, in this case at the end of July 2013.
