Mars drives you to the crossroads

You don’t want to be like the notorious forest ranger in Virginia who was struck by lightning 7 times!  I mean really.  What does it take to get some people moving?

Our lives are undergoing a tremendous revolution.   We’re coming to the first of 7 crossroads where critical choices must be made.   Arrival time is 8:19 PM, PDT, June 23rd.  We’ve been on this journey since March 11, 2011, and this week Mars kicks up the speed!

You can voluntarily move your life into a new paradigm, or wait for earthquakes, lightning or tornadoes to push you into it!
The Force of crossroads is with you.
The week of May 27, 2012

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Sunday starts your week with a wealth of unexpected ideas that will make for sizzling conversations full of surprises.  Your creativity is solar powered.  The Leo Moon gets friendly with Serious Saturn, lightening up your day.  Its a lovely mix of playful happiness and loyal reliability.  The ability to put your ideas to work gets kicked into action through your heightened sense of being a healer in service to others.  You shine as a teacher and communicator.  Just the right messages will come to you, often rather swiftly, so anchor them into your plans.  

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You know those piles of papers you’ve been meaning to get around to sorting?  Now is the time.  It’s an exercise in clearing your mind, and will add to its sharpness. Monday you get a lovely shot of organizational skill and some elbow grease where it's needed.  Tuesday night a cornucopia of good fortune spills easily into your dreams, inspiring your week.  You get a kicker of creative juice to activate your natural resources.  At your crossroads will you chose the path of your adventurous spirit?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
A big-hearted generous spirit fills your Sunday morning.  Fire from the Leo Moon tries to shake the goddess of love out of her Gemini tower of intellectual ideas--to have some fun!  You feel like lightening up.  You’ll reap the benefits of clear-headed communications all week with the Sun, Mental Mercury, and Venus in your sign.  The quick-witted Sun in Gemini brings you an exhilarating  breath of freedom for Memorial Day.  All week you get a kicker of action on the home front, which calls up your distinctive individuality.  

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Routine paperwork gets needed attention, not just for the sake of neatness and organization, but for the mental clarity it will bring you. You have no problem putting your ideas into action, but there are challenges to getting someone else to understand you.  Your psychic ability is strong this week, and you easily “read” below the surface.   Pay special attention to the ideas that were hatched on the New Moon solar eclipse last Sunday, they now need to get polished or discarded as unwise.  You can already see career changes waiting at the crossroad, and wise choices that protect your home and family.  

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Sunday morning the Leo Moon struts confidently to the doorstep of the goddess of love, only to find her lost in thought and that Gemini curiosity.  Use your charm to entice.  Intelligent planning for your future goals is the result of having clarity of thought throughout this week.  Your resourcefulness gets a kick into high gear, especially as it relates to communicating to groups or friends.  At your crossroads you may find new ways to be of service to your community--like setting fire to myths like “duck and cover!”

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The Moon gathers her cleaning supplies and heads into Virgo at 11:06 PM, PDT, Sunday night.  You are ready for action, to organize yourself, but you’re not in the mood for a superficial fix.  The kicker from Mars energizes the way you express your true self, and lots of messages will be coming your way all week on the topic of your career and ambitions.  Tuesday night the door opens for the cornucopia of good fortune to spill out expanded awareness and keen intuition.  Creative ways to cooperate is a gift you have.  King Arthur could have been an enlightened Virgo, for the motto engraved on his round table said, “In serving each other we remain free.”  

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Sunday gives you a wealth of unexpected ideas to make for sizzling conversations full of surprises.  Then the Leo Moon tickles ol’ Serious Saturn,  lightening up your day.  Its a lovely mix of playful happiness and loyal reliability.   Lots of Gemini curious chatter trips all through this week, and it may tempt you to throw words around like juggling balls.  The Moon flies into Libra at 3:46 AM, PDT, on Wednesday.  Just in time for your famous Libra diplomacy--and some charming restraint.  Your hopes, dreams and wishes get a kick into action.  Do you believe in them?

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
Friends will give you a jumpstart this week.  Your spiritual understanding of the cycles of life, the flight of the Phoenix, is needed by many people who find themselves stuck at the crossroads.  Saturday the scorpio Moon urges you to follow your intuition when you make your choices at the crossroads.  You have a firm foundation on which to easily make the changes you need.  You get the help of precision craftsmanship from Virgo to pave the road ahead.  You find you are an intuitive conduit, understanding both the need to free yourself from the past and the need to be changed at depth.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
A week of enlightened conversations, sparkling dialogue, and unexpected ideas awaits you.  You feel a childlike playfulness run through your activities, which is the key that boosts your originality and innovation.  You get a kick start to your ambitions.  Your 7th house of partnerships is lit up with the joy of life and love by Venus.  Messages to and from those you love and have an intimate relationship with.  At your crossroads is your new definition of how much is enough.  How do you know if you have enough?

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Monday brings a solid grounding from the Virgo Moon that helps you put your house in order.  It will also contribute to sharpening your mind, which you’ll need to handle all the communications that will be zipping through the airwaves all week--at least some of yours touched with flashes of genius!  Great good fortune comes your way Tuesday in a way that expands your life.  Ideas that you hatched on the New Moon solar eclipse last Sunday, will now get polished or discarded as unwise.  A power surge from your higher mind is lighting up your work, and the way in which you serve others.  At your crossroads is the transformation of yourself, the unveiling of the true you.  Honest, open, ambitious.  

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
This week is sprinkled through and through with your favorite happenings--freedom and original ideas.  Sunday’s a smart day, giving you a wealth of fresh ideas and a few surprises too.  Messages are flying at a quick-witted pace throughout the week, and you’re one of the few who can keep pace!  Your creativity is getting a push into action from the recess of your mind--the places where you hide your uniqueness.  At the crossroads, do you see your hopes and dreams as possible?  

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
The Moon is in a helpful but picky mood Sunday night when she heads into Virgo at 11:06 PM, PDT.  You feel the challenge to clean out the closet where you stash those ties to the past.  Add some polish to the new ideas you birthed at last week's solar eclipse.  Your 4th house of home and family lights up this week with messages galore!  The impetus comes from Warrior Mars in your house of partnerships, urging you to take action.  How can you deepen your friendships?  One way is to let them do you a favor!

Sunday's Solar Eclipse in Gemini recharges your mind

Need to reboot your brains?  Today at 4:48 PM, PDT, you can click on “Shut Down and Restart” during the New Moon Solar Eclipse* in Gemini as it passes over northern California.  

The Moon briefly blocks the intense solar-power willfulness of the Sun, allowing a respite in time for your rational mind to update and refresh.  

This week we travel through the house that Gemini built.  It’s a house of words and wit.

  
The Force of being curious is with you.
The week of May 20, 2012

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
The Gemini New Moon Solar Eclipse will inspire your inventive imagination.  At its peak (Sunday at 4:48 PM, PDT) solar-powered nervous energy is interrupted.  This lull lets your thoughts catch up with your actions--a rarity for you!  Options that you’d never thought of before will occur to you beginning Thursday when Mental Mercury starts a two week stay in Gemini.  The combo of fire and air fuels your quick-wittedness.  It’s an excellent time for tasks that require heightened mental acuity in communicating your ideas.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Ideas and messages will be flying around your head like a tornado this week.  Some will land with clarity, but most will be just too flighty for your tastes.  Use Sunday’s New Moon eclipse to break the spell of needing more and more reassurance that your world is secure.  Midweek you get some homey comforts from the Cancer Moon, and the sense that through forgiveness your mind can rest in love.  You need to resist this week’s temptation to multi-tasking and maintain your down-to-earth focus.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is your week! to ride the waves of your intellectual powers. Sunday is your personal new beginning.  Feelings run strong all week.  Watch Tuesday through the lens of love as the Gemini snuggles up to Venus 2:24 PM, PDT.  Your relationships will work smoothly because your open heart radiates love and you welcome others into your world.  Later you will get a helpful shot of common sense that turns this energy into shrewd business acumen.  Thursday the messenger planet gets blown into Gemini for two weeks of mental shapeshifting--stay light on your feet!

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Sunday’s New Moon eclipse is a great time for you to stop and put the past behind you.  If there’s something unspoken, take care of it quickly and move on.  Your faith is renewed on Wednesday when you lighten up about that famous Cancer need for security.  Worry and doubt may tempt you into seriousness, so turn to your spiritual powers of renewal.  The end of the week is loaded with combustible words--keep your cool.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Sunday’s burst of energy from the quick-witted Gemini New Moon resets your mind, body and spirit into one working whole.  Fuel for new ideas keeps pouring in all week.  Tuesday your words will be infused with kindness and love, and your head for business has rarely been so clear.  Thursday morning starts a two week period favorable for negotiations and contracts, both in your office and in your personal relationships.  Your week ends with a passionate boost of feelings when the Moon catches fire in Leo Friday at 3:12 PM, PDT.  Brains on fire!

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Wednesday you’re called to forgive, both yourself and others.  Your famous analytical mind gets an infusion of imagination--imagine your life without criticism of any kind!  The midweek Moon in home-sweet-home Cancer softens your drive to organize absolutely everything and everybody--you relax.  Don’t let all the Gemini energy tempt you to multi-tasking, especially after Thursday when Messenger Mercury begins a two week stay in Gemini, quickening the mental pace to flight of ideas.  Others will need your common sense!

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Your relationships get a reset on Sunday when the vitality of the new Gemini Moon and Sun create a harmonic balance (I do not use that word lightly, dear Libra!).  You have the chance to get in sync with mind and heart to produce a certainty about what you truly want in life.  Watch Tuesday for a beautiful burst of love and good business sense.  Your organizational skills are at an all time high!  Thursday morning wakes you up with ingenious ideas--the next two weeks is very favorable for communicating with your heightened quick-wit.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
Sunday’s Gemini eclipse may stir some anxiety in you.  You can handle the surge of chatterbox messages by being your famously discriminating self.  Take what you need and leave many ideas on the cutting room floor.  Wednesday brings you emotional relief in the calming waters of Cancer’s home sweet home.  Step out of the sea of chaos and use your heightened spirituality to do the thing that is hardest for you--let go and forgive.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Wow, the Gemini New Moon eclipse on Sunday will be a perfect time for you to touch the higher realms, where you are most at home.  If you can slow down, and travel in your mind, you’ll be able to integrate mind, body and spirit as never before.  Grab the impetus to accomplish three things at once beginning Thursday when Mental Mercury starts a two week stay in the intellectual air of Gemini.  You’ll be flooded with new ideas, and your job is sorting the wheat from the chaff.  Follow your intuition.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Well, dear Capricorn, Sunday’s New Moon eclipse helps you reboot and assimilate the load of new ideas about Pluto’s pull to transform your whole life by June 24th!  Easy does it.  Use that famous Capricorn step-by-step surefooted action to take the whirl out of whirlwind. Gemini is generating loads of multi-tasking, flight-of-ideas activity all week--especially after Thursday when Messenger Mercury begins a two week stay in the ivory tower, intellectual skies of Gemini.  You may need to carry the message that achieving your goals and ambitions only works one step at a time.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Use Sunday’s eclipse to reboot your vision of the world around you.  This week is loaded with messages and new ideas.  Tuesday you continue to follow the yellow brick road that the Gemini Moon has been leading you on, and the goddess of love shows up throwing roses at your feet.  Your mind is very clear--take notes.  Especially after Thursday when Messenger Mercury flies into the intellectual ivory tower of Gemini, where, for the next two weeks,  he’ll read a lot of books about how to do juggle three things at once!  You’ll need deep breathing exercises, but you’re one of the few who can keep up this pace.  

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Sunday’s solar eclipse in the intellectual skies of Gemini may generate some nervous tension unless you slow down the flight of ideas to a reasonable pace by meditation.  You’ll have an easier time assimilating the load of new ideas when your emotions get a healing balm from the security conscious Cancer Moon on Wednesday (4:32 AM. PDT).  Avoid the worry and doubt vibes by consciously practicing forgiveness--especially for yourself.  You can turn crisis into opportunity if you resist the urge to do too many things at once (Gemini’s busy multi-tasking!).  The world needs your calm compassion!



*The maximum visibility in the San Francisco Bay Area of the Moon passing in front of the Sun occurs at 6:33 PM.

Give a Handful of Hope

It’s the kind of hope that’s born from compassion.  The dreamy, poetic Moon in Pisces pulls up tides of forgiveness, while the Taurus Sun powers up the generosity of Jovial Jupiter.  John Lennon captured this feeling in Imagine.  

Imagine happy mothers everywhere!  Which really means their children are healthy and fed, have shoes and books, love and laughter.  And if that’s not true for you this Mother’s Day, then let’s call all angelic voices of children around the world to sing you a chorus of remembering joy--that you had that moment, precious and daring, of giving birth to a new life.  
The Force of living life in peace is with you.
Week of May 13, 2012

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
It might not have the punch of a fireball, but the optimism you see on the horizon this week is mind-expanding.  Then the Moon sprints into your sign Tuesday afternoon (2:46 PM, PDT) it inspires you to spontaneous new heights, especially when she lights up like neon in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.  Electric intuition! This week empowers you to take your role as a change-agent.  Although the pace appears to slow down by Saturday, don’t be fooled.  A major Solar Eclipse is coming on the 20th.  Stay tuned.  

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are ready to go after whatever you want, fueled with positive expectations.  This is a week for you to broaden your experiences.  If this Thursday is your birthday, wow. Get prepared to use the walk-away line, “thanks for sharing, but...”  It’s going to be a full day of brainiac magic.  Grab a pillow for your shoulder-to-cry-on, because people will.  By the end of the week there will be three planets plus your Sun in Taurus, so careful of those stubborn stances in old territory.  

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Maybe they’re not flamboyant, and there’s no fireworks, but you appreciate the reliability of your friends and loved ones.  Good feelings last, with a healthy reappraisal of your relationships, when Venus stops in her Gemini tracks and retraces her steps back to April 12th.  The week brings you a powerful stimulus to your ambitions that is a precursor to the major call to action coming June 24th.  What is your mission?

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
You’re in a space of absorbing other people’s “stuff” as if it were your own.  Use your Cancer sensitivity cautiously.  Some imaginative fog can obscure your view at the beginning of this week, but you can also use it to envision your goals.  You get a call to action midweek.  Wednesday and Thursday in particular are power days for making changes that will allow you to keep up a sustained push toward your goals.  You have a lot of support by Saturday when you’ll just say all the right things and opportunities will fall at your feet!

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Your emotions may go off like fireworks on Tuesday, but it will help you change your course.  It will take some cautions placement, but midweek you’re going to dynamite your way through a big mountain, opening up space for a high speed train!  If you stay focused, you’ll blast through obstacles and open new lines of communication.  Wednesday in particular is a focal point for making reforms in your life that will gather momentum through June 24th.  Find out now what you want to change.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Pay no attention to self-doubt and you’ll start your week with precision timing and potent communications.  Taking on big projects will seem right to you since a down-to-earth sensibility keeps you from going overboard.  Right after midnight Wednesday some very imaginative ideas start to drift into your dreams.  They set the stage for transformation, the birth of a new you, that has a major impetus occurring now.  

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Your week starts with a lovin’ feelin’ that has a practical steadiness to it.  You see the flaws, and accept that there’s a crack in everything--so the light can get in!  Midweek adjustments will be needed, so use pencils with erasers.  A new understanding about yourself waits inside the opportunities that will come to you this Wednesday and Thursday.  It may require stretching into uncomfortable places, but it will put you on edge of change in which you will wield more power and be more personally effective in your world.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
You begin this week by offering a shoulder to lean on for someone you love.  It’s natural for you with the heightened empathy you’re feeling under today’s compassionate Pisces Moon.  Toward the end of the week you may find yourself getting credit for some difficult work you do.  By Saturday there’s a powerhouse lineup of stars in earth signs that support you in making changes that allow you to heal, and to heal others.  Make your move!

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
If you can avoid doing anything rash, the Aries Moon on Tuesday (2:46 PM, PDT) will propel you to break out of a routine and include something different in your life.  Let it.  Just don’t change lanes on the freeway so often, and keep your focus.  Toward the end of the week lots of stability and a slower pace give you a break.  Let those busy feet touch ground.  A more contemplative time puts you in better position for next week’s Solar Eclipse (stay tuned!).

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Count on your Capricorn practicality to avoid those shiny baubles that look too attractive this week.  Big doses of optimism boost your large-hearted generosity toward others, so that you all can grow together.  There’s brilliant, brainy, even magical thinking on tap for you late Wednesday and into your Thursday.  By the end of the week the lineup of down-to-earth energy will help you plough through any obstacle.  

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Your beautiful Aquarian Moon starts your week with a strong sense of reality that has a flavor of loving acceptance.  Understanding the scars and bruises, overlooking the bumps and warts, you bring a reliability to your relationships.  Lovely Venus stops this week and retraces her steps back to April 12th, reassessing her relationships as she goes.  It’s rarely a good idea to look back at love, but this is an exception.  You can benefit from getting out of your head and seeing others through the wisdom of your heart.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Although your sensitive emotional sponge sometimes sucks up some dirt, it’s beautiful empathy is what makes you such a good friend and mate.  Your compassion is expanded with the Moon in your sign until late Tuesday afternoon (2:45 PM, PDT) .  Late Wednesday evening some brainac magic flows into your dreams.  So throw out the pencils and commit to black ink, your words are falling out of thin air like beautiful unique snowflakes when the Taurus Moon sits down with Tolstoy around 9:30 PM Saturday night.  Just in time to take notes about tomorrows eclipse!  (stay tuned)

The Taurus tortoise race is on!

On a Mission?  That painful delay at the crossroads gets decisive help beginning Tuesday, when Mental Mercury enters Taurus at 10:15 PM, PST.  

The “race” of the tortoise is on!  Why so slow? Well, he’s examining every rock for strands of gold, every pebble for its smoothness, and every inch of the path for all the beauty it can offer.

He has a focus, like the Sun through a magnifying glass, burning holes in the inconsequential.  

The week ends in Love when Venus smiles on the Moon, melting our hearts with the love of mothers everywhere silently spilling across the whole wide world.  Like Love Itself opening to happily swallow our pain.   

The Force of focus is with you.
Week of May 6, 2012

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
You’ll feel like 76 trombones woke you up this Sunday morning!  The Moon jump-starts your week with her ride into philosophical Sagittarius at 6:38 AM, PDT.  Neptune throws a little fog over your fiery Sagittarius feelings Sunday evening, just in time for a dreamy sleep.  On Tuesday the Sagittarius Moon gives a big smile to Messenger Mercury in Aries, putting some fiery feeling behind your words.   You make a big impact this week.  Wednesday you’ll feel a big shift in The Force when Messenger Mercury leaves your sign for trudge-the-road Taurus.  Calm focus.  The week ends on a note of love.  Venus smiles on the Moon, melting your feelings like warm milk over honey.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Everything Sunday morning is felt with depth and intensity. Doodle your way through a morning meditation and you’ll find that your unconscious has spoken to you about your deeply held desires.  But you know Ideas are cheap, and implementing them is the challenge.  You’re up for that challenge with the ambitious support of Tuesday’s Capricorn Moon, and the move of Messenger Mercury into your sign for the next 15 days. Jupiter's Thursday is full of promise and generosity.  You’re set--Sun, Jupiter and Mercury in Taurus.  Blessings travel on your words.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Venus, still in your sign, is bringing you a steadiness of purpose and a stability of feeling.  For the next 10 days in particular, Love triumphs over any restriction life tries to impose on you.  Watch Tuesday around 7:39 AM, PST, when the Sagittarius Moon challenges your Gemini Venus--pulling love toward you.  You feel called to explore, itching for adventure.  The week ends on a note of love.  Venus smiles on the Moon, melting your feelings like light filling darkness.  

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Early this Sunday morning, you feel like the Taurus tortoise who want to pull into his shell and check out his feelings.  It’s rather intense.  On Tuesday you put some ambition behind those great ideas you generated while in retreat.  Thursday morning carries a sense of well-being and good natured generosity toward others.  You get an optimistic edge to your attitudes which cuts through any obstacles.  

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Sunday morning the Moon jumps into all-fired-up Sagittarius (6:38 AM, PDT), and your week is set on a path of discovery and adventure.  A lightning blast to free you from the past comes later in the week.  A hit to the ego is a wake-up call to let go of an old way of being in the world.  You’re feeling the stretch between keeping your head in the heavens and your feet on firm ground.  If you weather this strain, there’s good potential here to put broad-ranged ideas into practical production. Your week ends on a note of love--Venus smiles on the Moon, melting your feelings like fresh breezes over sweet jasmine.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Your early Sunday morning feelings are anything but superficial.  You’re feeling everything with an intensity that can transform you, if you let it.  The usually emotional Moon-day is loaded with an aggressive energy from Warrior Mars, and a supercharged out-of-my-way rebelliousness from Uranus.  The Capricorn Moon, who loves the firm earth under her feet, is thrown off course by sideways strikes of lightning early Wednesday morning.  You feel uncharacteristically unsure of your footing. It’s unnerving!  Your saving grace arrives quickly on the shoulders of that sturdy Mars in Virgo who smiles knowingly and points the way.  

Libra (September 23-October 22)
You’ll need all your diplomacy skills this Monday as it’s full of combustible material.  Warrior Mars in precise Virgo says “plod on,” and Uranus throws in impatient fireballs,  insisting that you change course.  Hang on delicate Libra, the goddess of love is doing her best to get close enough to  conservative, taskmaster Saturn so that she can soften his heart and lighten up the relentless restrictions he’s been putting on you.  For the next 10 days you’re benefiting from a  steadiness and stability that is quite good for you.  By Friday the airy Aquarius Moon is getting along fine with Venus in Gemini, and you’re all in intellectual heaven.  But Mars is a different story.  He’s still plodding away in Virgo, nose to the grindstone.  Venus doesn’t see his point, so relationships are a little heady these days.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
Sunday is a productive time for meditation.  You’ll get in touch with the depths of your heart’s desires--the ones stirred up by yesterday’s Full Moon.  Later the dreamy god of the sea has you navigating some murky waters.  You come to an open clearing in the woods, where the light is blindingly bright, and you think of turning back to the dark familiar forest, but you don’t. Your mental processes clear up remarkably on Tuesday evening, beginning a 15 day period of sharp focus and grounded decisions.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
The Moon’s hike into Sagittarius this Sunday morning has you popping out of bed to the march of your favorite drummer--freedom.  This sets the tone for a week of quick decisions.  On Tuesday you have enthusiasm behind all your communications, and your words carry weight.  You may be tempted to exaggerate the differences, but try to look for and focus on the similarities.  Later, you get some visionary help from the god of the sea that cools those jumpy emotions with a misty daydream or two.  Let yourself be inspired.   

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Earthy Taurus is calling you to slow down Sunday morning and take a peek under the covers of “busyness” to see what needs you have been neglecting.  Don’t worry, you won’t find a boogeyman, just a hungry place.  The Moon moves into Capricorn at 7:00 PM, PST, on Tuesday, putting some calm into the storm of the past two days.  You know there are enough great ideas on the table, now it’s time to move things ahead.  The Capricorn Moon meets Darth Vader head-on at 10:33 AM, PST, on Wednesday.  The ticket taker guarding the entrance to success wants to collect your unconsciously held, self-defeating thoughts.  You realize you cannot pass through the gates while blaming others for your misfortunes, but neither can you blame yourself.  

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
You have Love on your side!  Venus is favoring your lofty ideals with some practical organization that makes you surprisingly conservative and protective of what’s yours.  For the next two weeks you’re detached, but fair.  Your words will pack a punch this Tuesday, when your emotional self gets in-sync with your mental processes.  You can say what you feel, with ease.  The Moon moves into your sign at 10:02 PM, PDT, on Thursday.  Your mind opens up to broader horizons.  You can let go of the familiar in order to open your mind to the future.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
The air is thick with feelings on Sunday morning, some pulled to the surface by yesterday’s Full Moon.  Let them guide you in choosing your right path.  You’re standing at the crossroads, where delay is painful.  The Capricorn Moon winks at your Neptune in Pisces just before the midnight hour on Tuesday, and you dream of sugarplums--albeit with price tags and cha-chings!  Remember you’re under the influence of visionary Neptune.  Ask yourself, can I have a practical dream?  Is it an oxymoron?  How about visions of peace still held in your hands while you heal the wounds of the day.
