Big beautiful clean slate

Ask an astronaut, the world is a big beautiful clean slate. The mess we see all over it is our own brand of graffiti--our ego projections. But, if you erase that script, you see the natural, heavenly beauty. Withdrawing our projections takes courage because there’s a brief interval, in between, when it seems there’s nothing there. Write love letters on it.
The Force of Courage is with you today.

COMING SOON: A weekend special--Date Night! Watch for it this Friday.

You get a booster shot of courage from Warrior Mars. Your self-confidence is high and you are ready to take the initiative with whatever is presented. You’re naturally the leader of your group today because you bring the courage to step out, to take a risk. However, a word of caution, you have a tendency to take what’s said to you as a personal challenge. The best way to handle it is to speak your mind, and watch where it leads you. Your words have strength and force behind them, just don’t use them as a power play.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Like Martin Luther King, you will not be moved. The Moon in your sign blesses you with clarity about who you are. The courage of your convictions is strong today.

Today Mighty Mars tests you with a threat that could make you feel defensive. Instead, dip into your self-confidence, for it is high, and stand for your rights.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Summon your courage because Mighty Mars is throwing down the gauntlet. Any place you notice yourself feeling touchy, that’s the push from Mars to take a stand. Although your self-confidence is high today, you need to encourage yourself to take the initiative, reach out as a leader. Your words have strength and force behind them. The voice of your famous diplomacy is strongly needed by your group--you’re actually the iron fist in a velvet glove (the secret of your Venus smile!).

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
You’re up for a good debate today! And you will win. Mighty Mars may present you with and “opportunity” to assert your opinion, probably in a group you belong to. You’re called to take a courageous risk, to take the lead, and fight for your beliefs. Woe to anyone who violates your rights. The strength of your words carries an enormous force, so exercise some caution about intimidating others. What you really want is to secure your world with faith in a power greater than yourself.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Venus in Aquarius continues to grace your world with friendliness and bless you with a sparkling effervescence. However, your famous determination (sometimes “stubbornness?”) is challenged today by Warrior Mars. Irritability is your clue to the area in which Mars wants you to take a stand for your beliefs. Always his lesson is courage. In today’s case, the courage to step aside from a threat to ego, and simply assert your position.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
Mighty Mars ordered a double shot of courage for you today. Why? You may face a situation in which your rights, your deeply held beliefs, are challenged. This will probably occur in a group or circle that you belong to. What the stars are asking you to do is take a stand and voice your opinion with your famous charm and humor. You don’t characteristically speak your truth, for fear of hurting someone’s feelings. But your self-confidence will grow as your connections with others strengthen.
