Sparkle, spontaneity, and surprises

You gotta love unfamiliar territory. Have you heard this old psychology joke?
A woman’s walking down the street one night, and sees a man on his hands and knees searching the sidewalk. She’s curious. “Are you ok?” The guy looks up, “I’ve lost my keys!” “Oh, I’ll help you,” she says, “where did you see them last?” He points down the block, “over there.” Scratching her head, perplexed, “then why are you looking here?” “Because the lighting’s better, and I’m more familiar with the territory.”
The Force of flexibility is with you.
Saturday, January 28, 2012.

Aries (March 20-April 19)
Just open your front door and you’ll find all the excitement you need for one day. You’re going to meet someone new, and it will be exciting and bring freshness into your life--something unexpected. Every now and then the Great Liberator, Uranus, likes to break a lock so you can solve an old puzzle. Go ahead, it’s easy. You should have butterflies in your stomach.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
A happy surprise awaits your today, but you’re going to have to bend a little to pick it up. The stars have a liberation in mind for you, part of which is built into the delivery system--you’ll have to be flexible to open the gift. Generous Jupiter is still working his magic in Taurus, and today he gets an assist from Mental Mercury--you’re thinking way too small. Look at the big picture, the details will take care of themselves.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Got a problem that’s stale, moldy and stuffed in the back of your mind? Well, crank it out for some sunlight and a fresh approach. Now you can see it as an interesting challenge, not a stubborn puzzle. With Mercury whispering brilliant ideas in your ear and the Sun solar-powering your thoughts, you’ll just see the solution in your mind’s eye. Hint: It won’t be what you expected!

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Knock, knock, there’s a surprise at the door. What is it? You have to open up to see it! Or, you can say, “I don’t like surprises” and it will fly away. The god of lightening quick events is playing around in your thoughts, setting brush fires to old, dead debris. This is how he liberates you to more fully express your true self--you can’t rely on “this is just how it’s done.” You have to raise your sights to find a new way. Today you have plenty of breathing room.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
The universe would like to burn up your to-do list today, so you’ll be open to an unexpected event (trust me, it will be good for you!). Why? How? It will free you from some limiting person or circumstance that is holding you back from fully expressing who you really are. It’s a gift from the Great Liberator, Uranus, special delivery around 10:25 this morning. Open the door!

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
If you try to stick to your plan for the day, in the face of unexpected events that would redirect you, you’ll create your own distress. The universe would like to upset your apple cart today, not to make you miserable, but rather to help you loosen up those demands you make on yourself! Feelings can snowball, especially if you have be repressing or ignoring them--just not taking the time to be quiet with yourself. They burst out with an obsessive momentum, simply because the tension needs a release. Pluto only unearths things in order to bring them back to life. Resurrection.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
A happy surprise comes today in the form of finding an unexpected solution to an old, unresolved problem. Uranus, the Great Liberator, is in cahoots with the messenger planet to bring you fresh news, fresh ideas. Jovial Jupiter is in the act today also, expanding your vision. He wants you to look up and say, “I can see my whole life from here.” Never mind the details, you don’t want to know the latitude and longitude. The sunny horizon will do just fine.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
The universe would like to pleasantly surprise you today, so don’t greet the news with suspicion and slam the door in it’s face! Unexpected events from the god of lightening are always designed to free up some part of your life that has been held back. This will involve communications, and your self-expression. If this comes in an encounter with someone else, it’s to reveal your true desires.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Be curious. Ask unsettling questions. Raise every rigid habit to scrutiny--dump most of them. The Great Liberator has joined forces with the messenger planet to open your mind to a fresh view of a problem--probably an old one. No fear. It’s in your best interests. A lovely sense of well-being and ease is woven through the day, making life’s hassles seem small. The Sun winks at the Aries Moon, saying “easy does it girlfriend.”

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
When the shut off valve has been wrenched too tight, leaks spring out. If you dig in your heels and resist changes, then events today will seem to you to be disruptive. They really aren’t, it’s only a lack of flexibility that’s causing the tension. Either you’ve taken a stubborn stance or someone in your life is doing that with you. Today’s surprises are designed to break the tension and open up a new way to look at an old devil. Use your famous Capricorn humor--a la Jim Carrey (January 17, 1962).

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Oh boy, hot dog, new, fresh solutions to old, unresolved problems! The god of lightening quick changes is playing musical chairs with Messenger Mercury today. Expect the unexpected idea or visitor who’s coming along to shed some fresh light--and maybe ask you to move over a little. Change your position on a cherished but outworn belief. Your emotions will have a life of their own today, popping up with sudden urges. All harmless since you’ve got the blessings of a wink and a nod from the Sun and Moon--breathing room and a relaxing break.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
To try to schedule a surprise is an oxymoron, but that may not stop you! If you can open yourself to the unexpected today, then Uranus’ lightening bolt changes won’t seem disruptive. You may have to abandon the schedule you’d planned. Feeling unsettled is the precursor to changing your mind. Try it on. Change your mind about an old belief you’ve held about yourself.
