Imagination Station

The inspirational vibe today is very subtle, even somewhat disorienting, like walking through Muir Woods in a heavy fog. You sense the magnitude and beauty all around you, but you’re in danger of loosing the trail. You sit down in Cathedral Grove to wait for the fog to lift. In the hush of the mist and mulched floor, eternity visits, briefly. You can almost hear it. Your skin is moist with it’s closeness. You re-tie your laces and check your map.

Dreamers and realists pay attention. You’ve got a great opportunity to get off the see-saw and onto common ground.

Aries (March 20-April 19)
Rarely have we seen a person fail who has followed her heart, while also listening to her head. You can re-write the old adage, “the longest distance is the 18 inches from your head to your heart.” Opening up that circuit so that messages fly back and forth, is the new wiring that will put heart surgeons out of business! Can epigenetics find a way to turn on that circuit?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Pay attention today to how much you’re absorbing from other people. No matter how good your boundaries are, and your are excellent, you’ll eventually be negatively affected by hanging around a chaotic or stressful environment. You feel sympathetic, and you have stuff to do. Your right brain is activated, your imagination is expanding, but you keep your commitments. The pace slows. Naps make you more productive.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The action is slowing down and your imagination is lighting up. You may find yourself writing poems in your head on the way to the grocery store. Your right and left brain have a good chance of a productive interchange, if fact there’s a possibility of balance. For example, you may be inspired to take a trip to Bali, but you’ll check the budget and bargain fares. Then, your choice fulfills your imagination and your pocketbook. A miracle!

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
You might wonder if you accidentally drank Sleepytime tea for breakfast? There’s a vague, nagging dream that keeps intruding in your day. Other people may think you’re a lay-back, relaxed kind of guy, but really you’re busy being on top of things--sometimes in overdrive. The stars have a request for you. Dream a dream of perfect safety, where you’re in love with everything about yourself. Nothing to fix.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
It’s the kind of day when you’ve just seen one of the most uplifting and wonderful movies of all time, and you walk out of the theatre into 40 mph driving rains. Can you keep the inspiration while running to the car for shelter? Your initiation into the Aquarian Age comes with a package deal--dreamers and realists get equal time in your head. Your creativity is finding practical expression.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
They say that women are gifted with an 8 lane interstate carrying messages between their right and left brains. While men, according to poet Robert Bly, have a rocky country road. One too fast the other too slow. How about mixing it up for a smooth 4 lane? The stars today challenge you to be fully awake to your dreams. To write a poem in your head while folding the laundry. To let go and play messy.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
The Moon in airy Aquarius is spending the day getting ready for a midnight rendezvous with Aquarian Neptune. This is right brain feelings and imagination joining visionary dreams. It will be better than Sleepytime tea. It’s going to activate the ongoing dance of balance (or imbalance!) between dreamers and realists. Instead of choosing sides, you have a chance today to engage both functions within yourself. Dream a little dream with your eyes wide open.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Your sensitivity today makes you a compassionate, sympathetic ear for a friend. And your friend could do the same for you. You’re both able to experience what it’s like to walk in the other’s shoes. This can go too far however, and then you soak up the negative energy around you. Today is about balance. Sympathy and understanding, yes, but practical self-care and boundaries are just as important. Still, by bedtime it’s sweet dreams.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Rarely do any of us find a balance between the heavenly highs of seeing all the love around you, and the rubber-hits-the-road reality of life on life’s terms. Today you’ve got a shot at it! Let yourself be inspired by the swirl in your latte, but remember to drink it before it gets cold. Beauty and necessity. You’re used to traveling in your mind, and the Moon’s midnight date with the dreamiest of romantics will inspire a trip.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Next stop, Imagination Station. There’s nothing for you to do there, just sit and imagine the wonderful places you’re traveling to. In the dreamers versus realists duel, you’re too often stuck in the role of the realist, and, fortunately or unfortunately, you’re very good at it. The stars today may annoy you with their dreamy offerings. It’s a lovely thing to stand sure-footed, digging in your garden, and imagine how beautifully the bulbs will open in the spring.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
This is one of the most inspirational days of the year for you. The imaginative Moon in Aquarius is on her way to join Neptune, the planet of compassion and dreams. This could produce moments of awe, of seeing above the battleground. Then, their joining activates practical Saturn, who puts a realistic spin on your dreams. Practical art.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
You’ll be prone to drifting away in a daydream, which is fine if it leans toward composing a song or writing a poem--and, you remember to eat lunch. It’s important to stay grounded, and keep fears from creeping in as nightmares. Einstein said he got his best ideas in dreams, but he also went to the lab and put pencil to paper. Today you want to balance the dreamer and the realist inside you. Neither should get the upper hand.
