Be bodacious!

Warrior Mars takes up the evangelical sword of Leo the lionhearted this Tuesday, firing up the zeal and forcefulness behind your actions. Strong leadership backed by oodles of self-confidence is the hallmark of Mars in Leo. It's seven weeks of full steam ahead.  

Nature echoes this theatrical display, Mars on stage in all his audacious boldness, in the "Bodacious Bearded Iris."  Time to be outstanding!  To live life by your own rules.

Harrison Ford, Beyonce, George Clooney, Robert Redford, Sophia Loren, Cher, and many more actors have Mars in Leo.  Born to be on stage, and delightfully playful, Leo's creative gift is to join with the imagination of a child.

"Once I get a clear idea about what I want to accomplish, then acting is just dressing up and playing."  Harrison Ford

Friday's Moon in nurturing Cancer will create three beautiful interlocking triangles, a Grand Trine, that form a bridge to connect your dreams with reality.  Forgiveness joins accountability and wisdom. This is quite literally a stairway to heaven.

♡ Date Night:  Venus in Libra and Mars in Leo
If you add audacious Venus in Libra to bold Leo Mars you get bodaciousness!  Gutsy moves, remarkable romance, and outstanding results! The celestial lovers are cookin' once again.  Venus in air, Mars in fire, make for a combustible love experience this weekend.  You'll feel happy and energetic.  Your relationships are humming along on a lively harmonious note of compatibility.  Both of you are in the mood for giving, and receiving, generously of  yourselves.  Excess can even be a good thing, as long as your credit card is not involved.  


The Force of bodaciousness is with you.
"He who is incapable of feeling strong passions, of being shaken by anger, of living in every sense of the word, will never be a good actor." Sarah Bernhardt

Here’s your horoscope for the week of August 25-31, 2013:
(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)

Aries  ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Self-confidence is not usually a problem for you since Aries pioneers must be sure of themselves to go ahead. Tuesday is therefore an energizing green light for you to initiate a new project. Your style will be the best of Harrison Ford; "When I go out on a call, I want to put out a big fire, I don't want to put out a fire in a dumpster!" The grand trine in water signs this week may try to dampen your enthusiasm by trowing in a soggy idea here and there; not worth your time! Do what you do best--move on to the next innovation.

Taurus  (April 20-May 20)
Sunday starts your week on a Rock of Gibraltar note, of knowing you're acting from a solid foundation. It's a slower pace but pleasurable. Lots of Leo frazzles your nerves and you're not sure which way to turn. Your big strength this week, like help from Above, is to remember that it's not about performance, it's about the story that wants to be told. You tune in so well by the end of this week that you'll have a direct channel to the angels that hover lovingly around you.

Gemini  (May 21-June 20)
Wind in your sails arrives with Warrior Mars in Leo, and you have unrelenting forward momentum for the next seven weeks. Issues of familial loyalty and regal dominion over all that is rightfully yours are forefront. If you slow down to hear the message in this week's grand trine in water signs you'll feel a happy sparkle inside that sheds light on your purpose. It comes like a slow trickling brook carrying thoughts of the wisdom in forgiveness. Your words are mature but may not inspire trust in others unless you can promise consistency. 
Cancer  (June 21-July 21)
Shed everything that holds you back. Too muchness, with a topping of excess, can launch you into multi-tasking even though it's not good for you now--while you're molting. Summer is when the crab sheds her outer shell, to accommodate a new year of growth. Love your softness and vulnerability. It's what makes you open to the enormous gains in store for you. You're approaching a spiritual milestone that peaks this Friday in a golden triangle of your dreams turning into reality.

Leo  (July 22-August 22)
As the regal king of the jungle, you take the top of the hill, you're the center of attention (you know you love that!) for the next seven weeks. Fortunately this will be a controlled burn since your willpower is so strong that you can corral people and ideas into just the form you need.  Virgo will add efficiency in how you phrase your requests, but they still won't really be heard unless you pour your heart into the delivery. It's always about the heart dear Leo.
Virgo  (August 23-September 22)
As the week begins, let yourself luxuriate in a day of rest--even two! With the Sun and Messenger Mercury in your sign, your thoughts are solar powered. Wednesday is auspicious for you; your inquiring mind reaches many new understandings.  Rise above your tendency to use dry or concise words aimed at efficiency, they won't catch the ear of your listener. Nerves may be on edge after Warrior Mars moves to Leo Tuesday, but you benefit from Friday's bridge between your dreams and their actualization in reality. You have a super highway to heaven.

Libra  (September 23-October 22)
Monday, ruled by the Moon, is usually moody but this one arrives with a zinger just for you. Sparks fly from the goddess of love (in your sign) challenging the god of lightning; exotic, erotic, exciting or you're not interested! Keep you eye on the consequences, then let 'er rip! After Mars moves into fiery Leo this Tuesday, you have seven weeks ahead of moving mountains; big boulders rolling out of your way. It's also a romantic time, and very creative, with Leo fire from Mars playfully flirting with your Venus in Libra. Leo sets your brains on fire!

Scorpio  ♏  (October 23-November 21)
The really big news is this week's Grand Trine in water signs which blesses you with a three pronged magic wand of Forgiveness, Accountability, and Wisdom. It builds to a peak on Friday. You've had the accountability wizard working wonders of organization for you since last October. Then Visionary Neptune joined in to raise your hopes. Now it's all set into motion by the sensitivity of the Cancer Moon, building a golden bridge between your dreams and your reality. Heaven comes to earth! Your dreams are manifest.

Sagittarius  (November 22-December 20)
For the next seven weeks you belong in the forefront of activity. Whether you're leading a group or starting a new project yourself (very likely) you are in charge. Even though you like a soap box and a big parade, you're actually not comfortable being the boss. Now that changes. You're learning Harrison Ford's lesson of relentlessly busting the box office, over and over agin; "You may get real tired watching me, but I'm not going to quit."

Capricorn  (December 21-January 19)
Like writing a great mystery novel, you can solve old puzzles by stitching together forgiveness, commitment, and emotional strength into a quilted vision of whole picture. Your relationships have perhaps felt heavy with responsibilities since last October. Now the Grand Trine in water signs that builds throughout this week will bring you a sensitivity and tenderness of emotions that will solidify your faith in each other. Saturday dawns with a joyous warmth of feeling, a quiet confidence, and a generosity of spirit that permeates your very soul. Truly a stairway to heaven.

Aquarius  (January 20-February 17)
Your objective viewpoint is vitally needed in the current seas of dreamy ideas without boundaries. Use the language of your heart as you try to give instructions to others; your keen intellect is of less use to you now. Warrior Mars in Leo begins seven weeks for you in which to join your imagination to that of a child's. It will add emotional strength to your wise words and the impetus to speak out. Friday's Grand Trine in water signs can heal some ancient scars for you. It's a time to go within and shut down the noise of doing.

Pisces  ♓  (February 18-March 19)
The tried and true has the benefit of safety, but clinging to it can squash your need to move forward in your life. You're going to get lifted out of any ruts you have by waves of prophetic insights that wash through you all week. You'll have exceptionally inspired artistic gifts; anything your create via you imagination. You understand that nothing and no one can hold you back except yourself. The weekend is for love letters; give away bunches of them and experience the sweet vulnerability of receiving them back tenfold.

Lightspeed leap in consciousness

What’s the speed of darkness?  Darkness disappears at a speed of 186,000 miles per second!  The planets line up to give us the greatest “magic” trick of all; turning on the lIght of a higher consciousness. Quick as a twinkle, the stars light your way through the chaos of the ego’s dark works.  


A Grand Cross of enormous transformational energy is forming this week, peaking on Saturday the 24th through Tuesday the 27th.  Same old wars, conflict, and violence are heating up the circuit breakers, tripping the overload switch, shutting down old networks.  It’s our heavenly opportunity to look for new sources of Power.  


Blame it on the Full Moon.  This Tuesday she rises full in Aquarius at 6:45 PM, PDT.  We put our hands on our hearts and pledge allegiance to being more tolerant of differences, more accepting of ourselves.  


“Woman overboard!” is triggered by the excessive restlessness of a tense square between Generous Jupiter and Urgent Uranus.  Tensions will peak this Wednesday, but we’ll feel it for many weeks.


The Sun shines in Virgo beginning Thursday at 4:01 PM.  Quickly joined by Messenger Mercury the following afternoon.  Mercury is exalted in Virgo, and our minds become strongly analytical and our communications are eloquent and proficient.


♡ Date Night:  Venus in Libra and Mars in Cancer
Feel free to play around, but you better keep it in good taste.  There’s excess and unbridled passions ahead between Venus and Mars, adding tension to relationships.  He just can’t seem to get his manners up to her standards; he sees her demands as temperamental.  Your Mars (yang) energy is intensely aggressive and moody. Your Venus (yin) must have companionship, and you’ll provide the empathic bonding to go with it.  


The Force of light is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the week of August 18-24, 2013:
(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)


Aries  ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Sparks fly from your fingertips and surround your every move, suggesting you are a person of imminent possibilities!  The Sun and Mercury together in precise Virgo will bring meaningful order to your work, if you can integrate your intuitive hunches with cold hard facts.  A hot-blooded Aries Moon this Friday has you lightning a fire under a rigid Virgo mountain, creating lava that changes your whole landscape. You’re pushing the envelope.  Impatience with restrictions sends you into a revolutionary revolt, arrows flying.  One pierces your skin, and shows what you are made of--pure innovation!


Taurus  ♉ (April 20-May 20)
Uncharacteristically, you throw caution to the wind!  Your 5th solar house of creativity and romance is activated, making this an excellent time to write that play or win a game of chess.  If romance does show up, you really will be interested in his mind!  And nothing long lasting, because when the Grand Cross energies of urgent, powerful change arrive, you’ll feel it as an urge for exotic experiences.  You don’t care whether they last or not.  
For the next two weeks your mind is occupied with an intellectual interest in art. When the Sun and Mercury join forces this Friday in compatible Virgo, you’ll have a window of solar powered reasoning open up. You’ll organize your thoughts and plans brilliantly.  


Gemini  ♊ (May 21-June 20)
You may feel too restless to want to persevere with the details needed to complete your project. Chisel, wheelbarrow, and chipping a lot of rock is required to actually manifest your vision. For help, you can call on the balance and artistic eye of Venus in Libra, your harmonic muse right now.  The Sun and Mercury move into Virgo and your 4th solar house of home and family.  Literally, it’s time to clean closets (one at a time). Cleanliness and attention to detail will actually help you to relax.  Logic wants to rule your intuition for the next two weeks.


Cancer  ♋ (June 21-July 21)
Generous Jupiter in Cancer, the archetypal Santa Claus, can easily overdo his love of expansion and cornucopias of all the good things in life.  Sometimes his gifts spill out faster than you can sort them, and this is one of those times!  But, at the same time, you’re getting a surge of superior intellectual ability and mental agility from the movement of the Sun and Mercury into your 3rd solar house of communications for the next two weeks.  It doesn’t just mean your inbox is loaded (which it is), it also has you writing and speaking with a great deal of originality.  You still need to think before you hit “send,” but you can get your point across and sell anything!


Leo  ♌ (July 22-August 22)
Your Monday morning bowl of oatmeal overflows, drips on an add in the paper which causes you to notice it’s “50% off” for the dress you bought last week and you rush to find your receipt so you can spend your lunch hour getting a refund.  It’s good news, but in a way that jangles your nerves.  That’s the way the Grand Cross energies come across to you.  The Sun and Mercury in Virgo light up your 2nd solar house of money and resources beginning this Friday.  You’re mentally preoccupied with business and improving your earnings.  Since Virgo is the sign of the quintessential CEO of...well, everything, you have two weeks of producing practical, concrete results.  Money.


Virgo  ♍ (August 23-September 22)
In sync!  You’re entering a period of intense desire to express yourself.  You are absolutely clear about who you are, and ready to show anyone who’ll listen.  Nothing in your environment escapes your notice.  Expect lots of coming and going, and an urge to be in action.  The Sun enters Virgo Thursday afternoon, beginning the call of letting go that precedes your birthday. Your love of organization combines with your clear analytical mind when Mental Mercury also enters your sign this Friday.  Willpower and sharp communication collide as conjoined twins this Saturday afternoon, a brilliant time for thoughtful planning.  


Libra  ♎  (September 23-October 22)
Take it on. The optimism will be there to make it work. You can tap into the adventurous spirit within you, and put your dreams and wishes into motion. Venus acts as your touchstone during the Grand Cross intersection of power, rebellion, expansion, and cooperation.  Not easy bedfellows since almost anything you do or think can become excessive.  The Sun and Mercury in Virgo is in your 12th solar house of the universal mind.  For the next two weeks your thinking will be strongly influenced by past experiences which bubble up as vague impressions.  You gather information through your feelings, your keen intuition, and psychic abilities. Say what you see.  Your degree of artistic inspiration is high, generating powerful emotions that need expression.  Expect a serendipitous meeting, a relationship with ties to your past, that will stir deep and powerful desires.  Stay present.  


Scorpio  ♏  (October 23-November 21)
With Generous Jupiter there is always a choice; you can take something wonderful and go overboard with it, or you can finally put that fabulous idea into motion.  The one that’s just been waiting for enough optimism to fuel it.  Your generosity of spirit is tied to your feelings about home and family roots, and gets expressed as a parental, nurturing human kindness.  Regardless of your sex, you’ll feel your maternal instincts strongly. The Sun and Mercury in Virgo are bestowing a love of truth, impartiality, and original and objective thinking to all your communications with friends and groups.  Especially the next two weeks, you’ve got profound insight into the larger picture of cultural trends.


Sagittarius  ♐ (November 22-December 20)
Delivering on your promises is not guaranteed with Jupiter courting the god of lightning; you may suddenly turn away from a worthwhile project simply because your initial excitement wanes.  The Sun and Mercury have both dropped into earthy Virgo which falls in your 10th solar house, lighting up your professional ambitions so that they become more lucrative.  For the next two weeks you’re likely to gain power and leadership, distinguishing yourself by your brilliant ideas.  But, stop and think before you share.  Restraint of pen and tongue won’t come easily but it has rarely been more important than now.


Capricorn  ♑ (December 21-January 19)
Sun and Mercury in Virgo is in your 9th solar house
You’re not asking too much.  You’re asking far too little.  So much is coming your way that you have lots of reasons to feel optimistic. And to be busy sorting out the excess.  You’re more concerned with attitudes than with facts.  With Sun and Mercury moving into your compatible sign, Virgo, your ability for sharp minded analysis is going to create some brilliant record keeping systems in your brain. Ideas fall into place like tumblers in a lock. Doors open. You’ve got two weeks ahead of enormous focus, concentration, and travel in the realms of the higher mind.


Aquarius  ♒ (January 20-February 17)
Your logical mind is going to get into heated debates with your intuitive side.  Freedom at any price seems like a good idea when the Moon takes flight into Aquarius this Sunday evening, on her way to the Full Moon Tuesday.  Look back to July 22nd when the first Full Moon in Aquarius occurred (yes, twice in one month!) for the personal needs that were revealed then and want fulfillment now. The Sun and Mercury, now in Virgo, fall in your 8th solar house, which tunes your thoughts to other planes of existence. Caring for our planet earth is a perfect combination of the Aquarius Full Moon and Generous Jupiter’s idealistic causes. You’re ingenious in formulating strategies.  

Pisces  ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Your emotions are without boundaries or borders while you merge with the universal mind, and tap into your own deepest knowing.  Jupiter in an internalized stress with Uranus requires a great deal of patience, and if you can persevere the rewards come in sudden opportunities and lucky chances. The Moon wades into Pisces this Tuesday evening at 9:43 PM, creating two days of harmony with Serious Saturn.  Your ideas take on structure and practicality.  You’d like others to hear your words exactly as you meant them.  Your poetry takes on depth of meaning and universality of appeal that raises the horizon of hope for many others.  Don’t be shy about sharing!  


✶ Astrology Wonks

Leo's celestial fireworks!

Regularly scheduled every August, the Perseid Meteor shower is so Leo!  Flamboyant, dramatic displays of celestial theater, with surprise appearances from earthgrazers.  Catch your shooting star this Sunday night after moonset, 10:32 PM, PDT.

Flames of rebellion and alchemical transformations flare up again; this time with a Call to arms for the spiritual warrior in all of us.  We are so brave.  To look truth and lies right in the face and choose one.  

Surprising intrusions of unexpected thoughts happen this Wednesday when limitations are blown out of their boxes by a Leo-Aries explosion of innovation.  They’ll come in bursts of aha’s, like your mind having its own shower of shooting stars.  

Tuesday acts as a big ol’ trigger for two major overarching planetary dances that set the rhythm of change for the rest of 2013.  One is the ongoing root canal of our old worn-out belief systems, and the other is the dance of duality between inhibiting fears and expansive optimism.

“Alice came to a fork in the road.  ‘Which road do I take?’ she asked.  
‘Where do you want to go?’ said the Cheshire Cat.
‘I don’t know,’ Alice answered.
‘Then,’ said the Cat, ‘it doesn’t matter.”         Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Thursday is another knock the door down day!  The energies of innovation, intuition, and communication create a Grand Trine that opens new dimensions of emotional intelligence. This is the stuff Vulcan mind melds are made of!  

Venus, the goddess of love, glides gracefully into her beautiful Libra home this Friday.  Fair-play in the world of partnerships are her focus, loving cooperation her gift.


♡ Date Night:  Venus in Libra and Mars in Cancer
Friday is warm hearted with high hopes as Venus moves into her house of harmonious relationships.  Be aware that the mood shifts dramatically Friday evening, to a chilly, reserve.  Issues of emotional security and trust require reassurance.  Venus responds to the chill by curling up in a cashmere wrap, while Mars turns up the heat.  Saturday night is a powerful plunge into the mood your in, so make it loving.  Look at each other now, no past, only future.

The Force of optimism is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the week of August 11-17, 2013:
(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Small celestial changes, like patiently waiting for shooting stars, trigger big choices.  You make minor improvements in efficiency that open up double doors in your perception.  Simply trusting that Spirit has your best interests at heart, when you don’t even know what they are, throws you into forward gear even if you have your foot on the brake!  Sleighs full of positive thinking arrive Tuesday morning to raise the bar on what you think is possible.  Beginning Friday, and for the next three weeks, you’ll enjoy a popularity and fulfillment in relationships that’s going to make your heart sing (more and louder!).  Love and romance become more important to you and you’ll naturally give and receive lots of affection.  Sweet.


Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Want to be that person who creates lightning at will?  Okay, that may sound scary, but the call for the courage to change becomes very loud this week.  When you start down a road that isn’t working, you have the chutzpah to admit it and go the other way!  You’re entitled to hold some things close to your chest, revealing yourself only when you feel safe.  Venus, your ruler,  moves into Libra this Friday where she’ll travel through your 6th house of work for the next three weeks.  Remember, she brings beauty and money with her wherever she goes.  You may win the lottery with a co-worker, or fall in love with someone you work with, or you could just fall more in love with your own talented work!


Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Tuesday’s intensity makes you a bit trigger happy.  You’re ready to stop procrastinating and get on with it!  Read less, apply more.  Opening the doors to your higher mind may feel like an unwelcome knock-and-announce from the PD, but it’s really showers of diamonds in the rough!  Get your genius out and take a close look.  Ooh, sweetness and beauty fill your house of romance and children for the next three weeks (August 16th-September 11th) and the result is happiness and pleasure. Your artistic talents glow under the light of your sunny outlook.


Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Be formidable.  You inspire awe, admiration and respect by being powerfully intense and capable.  You have no trouble getting what because you’re the one creating the possibilities.  Your crossroads?  You must dare to do the thing you think you cannot do. You always love having your home full with the pleasures of life, and starting this Friday the goddess of love shows up for a three week visit and she’s loaded with gifts.  You’ll go for more luxurious comforts and your flair for decorating adds beauty and value to your home.  Better Homes and Gardens features your house on the cover!


Leo (July 22-August 22)
Don’t take things too seriously or the week could start with a wet blanket thrown over your most visionary ideas.  Holding your feet to the fire is the way you’ll find a practical use for your art in the marketplace; walking on hot coals is really just mind over matter! You’re serious about wanting results, financial gain, and keeping your freedom of expression.  The goddess of love moves into intellectual Libra this Friday, bringing juicy pens and thirsty paper for all your communications.  For the next three weeks, your words have a sweetness and artistry that make for great writing which brings money, likely through publishing.  Start a blog on “Love Letters!”


Virgo (August 23-September 22)
No excuses for turning away from the decision to love yourself are going to work.  It’s not selfish, it’s self-fullness.  Just before midnight Monday, (perhaps traveling on those shooting stars!) you get an intuitive hunch about a barrier you need to break wide open; you’ll probably see this through a dream.  Venus leaves your sign this Friday for the harmonious relationship house of Libra.  You’ve cleaned, ironed and mended everything in your closet, now the goddess of love says take your beautiful self out to the business world where people are waiting to pay for your art and your talents. Saturday afternoon you’ll get a wake-up call disguised as a surprise.  Open that door.


Libra (September 23-October 22)
Ah, indecision at the crossroads?  No worries, messengers are on the way.  All you have to do is listen, and take the surprises in stride.  They’re meant to build confidence in your beliefs.  A sweet note of afternoon delight comes this Wednesday when your come hither yin gets a wink from his yang, and plenty of graceful cooperation from the goddess of love.  Venus soars into your sign this Friday to begin a three week period of blossoming in which your ability to express yourself with grace and beauty comes easily.  Even if you’re naturally introverted, you’ll feel socially outgoing as you seek new friendships.  This is a time of physical beauty; every day’s a Good Hair Day!


Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
The fires of creative thought are put to the practical test at the beginning of this week.  Serious Saturn in your sign is helping you organize your talents, your art, so that financial value in the marketplace is created.  Towards the end of this week, when Venus moves into Libra, you’ll find yourself seeking out some solitude, and loving the quiet.  You’re tuned into your muse for the next three weeks, soaking up deep emotional and artistic attunement.  Expect psychic dreams and precognitive visions; and heightened sensitivity to what others say and do.  Try not to take anything personally!


Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Happy, happy days (especially this Tuesday) when Jovial Jupiter adds his gifts of optimism to the positive emotions you’ve already got going.  Listen for the tinkling of bells that will ring with each of your intuitive hunches (Hint: Pay attention!).  Your emotions take off for adventures this Wednesday evening when the Moon catches fire in Sagittarius. Next, the goddess of love, in your eleventh house of friends and groups, has invited people over for fun and camaraderie.  When Venus moves into Libra this Friday, you have three weeks ahead of warmth and support from friends and partners who enjoy sharing in your successes.  Friends become lovers and lovers become friends!


Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Muster the courage to act on that idea, and you’ll find your faith grows with your actions.  The only thing that could keep you stuck at the crossroads is your Capricorn reluctance to change direction.  This weekend is powerful for you;  Friday starts a three week period (through September 11th) of climbing the money tree and accumulating wealth through your career.  The goddess of love will be facilitating good relations with employers or employees and people in positions of power.  It’s a time of gaining recognition for your efforts, especially in the arts and public relations.  Saturday is key; you feel a compelling urge to let the past go, and look without condemnation on the future.  You’re free!


Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Pack your bags for Bali.  Venus carries wealth and artistry into your ninth solar house of travel, particularly foreign travel, beginning this Friday.  For the next three weeks, good fortune comes through new people you meet.  You may be called to make a public appearance.  The weekend asks you to open your mind to a sudden challenge.  It will be good for you.  The angst you feel is simply that you sense the importance of the question before you.  You know you’re being asked to make a decisive commitment.  


Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Don’t be afraid to show your soft heart.  The Moon dives into the deep emotions of Scorpio’s calm surfaced water this Monday, asking you to face your fears and tap into your deepest longings.  What you truly want is “hidden” in the deep pools of compassion that you know so well.  For the next three weeks, while Venus travels through your eight solar house of jointly held resources, you can expect money or financial gain to come through a partner or inheritance.  Another side of the goddess of love here is intense feelings, especially jealousy.  You feel territorial and fiercely protective of what’s yours.  Rightly so.
