Spring forward, there’s no other choice!

A loving friend has just pushed you off the end of the diving board. In middle of this exhilarating leap, you have an epiphany. You see that this is what you’ve wanted all along, and with a little help from your friend you’ve broken through the fear in the only way possible--Just do it!  

Put stickies everywhere that remind you, “the only thing I gained by hesitating, was more fear.”

This month is the close of a long journey, away from littleness and into the grandeur of your magnificent trueSelf. Playing small does not serve you. Littleness is a lie.  

The power of your choice to be happy, quickens your dreams and empowers their right to be born. Happiness is the élan vital of spontaneous morphogenesis, your right to shape your own destiny.

The week ushers in revelations with 3 major wacks:

1. “And the Winner is...” will be announced this Tuesday, March 3rd, when a benevolent Jupiter draws the 2nd of 3 win-the-lottery tickets.

2. Already on fire in Aries, Venus holds up a handful of sparklers in celebration of your freedom to choose. Wednesday, March 4th, she rides the bolts of lightning from Uranus and sweetens his shocking surprises with with the god of lightning,  triggers Jupiter’s generosity, and stirs up Pluto’s sensual intensity. All in one day.

3. On March 5th a Virgo Full Moon accentuates Jupiter’s harvest and asks us to build an autobahn from our heads to our hearts.

Here’s the formula for a Day of Grace:

Release your anger, which is a shield you use to protect an unhealed wound.. You erroneously think that hiding it in darkness keeps you safe, untouched. Yet nothing can heal that’s hidden. Have compassion for that part of you that is hurting. The light of understanding is complete openness to telling the truth.

The Force of choosing is with you.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of March 1st to 7th, 2015:

ARIES  ☀  (March 21-April 19)

“Why not?” is your attitude for 2015. Remember? Envision the outcome you want, hold it in mind regularly, as if it were happening here and now.

You’ve entered a time of great achievements that will bring you distinction and a position of power and authority, particularly in an educational setting. Have you been asking, What is my purpose? Use the power of Thursday’s Full Moon in Virgo to hone your gift of being able to “see” spiritual laws in action, through your intuitive mind. Now is the time to seriously evaluate your beliefs for their practicality.The archetypal Santa Claus stays in your 5th house of creativity and romance until August 11th.

TAURUS ☀  (April 20-May 20)

Have you planted  your dream? Used your green thumb to grow what you truly want? Before March 16th you need to break away from relationships with partners who are somehow cold, uncooperative, or critical--any relationship that forces agreements or restricts your freedom. Between now and June 15th, Saturn in Sagittarius brings a strong sense of responsibility and justice to the affairs of your 8th solar house, calling for skillful management of resources in financial partnerships, corporate money, taxes and inheritance. Use the Virgo Full Moon this Thursday, March 5th, to clarify, without criticism, something from the past that pops up. Since December 23rd you’ve been having intense dreams and psychic experiences that are bringing you spiritual insights about the true purpose of your life. This aspect will not come again until February, 2044, and last occurred December, 1985 to February, 1988. This Tuesday, Generous Jupiter, the archetypal Santa Claus, is dropping opportunity into your 4th house of home and family. Expect harmony, emotional comfort, and financial abundance through real estate or inherited property as sources of your good fortune.You see that your hearts are connected, that your love lights up the darkness of misunderstanding, until joy is contagious epidemic!

“Everyone should frame their dreaming so that, at some future hour, fact and dreaming meet.” Victor Hugo

GEMINI ☀ (May 21-June 21)

Happy Dreams are coming true for you through your optimistic and spiritually oriented mind. You are the Professor of Positive Thinking with expansive Jupiter still in your 3rd house of communications (extra powerful because the 3rd is Gemini’s house). This Tuesday, March 3rd, he’s swinging by with a surprise gift. Actually, he’s been doing this for you on and off since July, 2014. He’ll continue through August 11th, but this week is the second of 3 pinnacle of good fortune. The prior one was September 25th, and the grand finale will be June 22nd, right at the finish line of your birthday month. Talk about a Happy Birthday! Saturn in Sagittarius is showing you the meaning of your life, by looking at your relationships. Has that sobering romance - partnership arrived yet? Watch for it around this Thursday’s Full Moon in Virgo which brings a conclusion in your 5th house of romance and children. It may lack frills and pink clouds, but it’s the stability you want. Your eyes see everything through the lens of love.

“A dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by waking out of it.” George Santayana

CANCER    ☀  (June 22-July 22)

Saturn in Sagittarius, since December 23rd, has been bringing you increased responsibilities and better organization to your 6th house of work and service. You are finding financial stability there, and you can expect to be working hard and efficiently at your job. The work you do at this time will open up a new horizon for you, and give your life new meaning. Money comes easily with Generous Jupiter in your 2nd house of resources until August 11th, and this week has a green thumb day for you on Tuesday, March 3rd. The archetypal Santa Claus is loading your personal resources and bank account with abundance. This is the 2nd of 3 major pinnacles of good fortune. The next one is coming June 22nd (a promotion in the new job?). The Virgo Full Moon this Thursday is particularly auspicious for anything to do with communications--closing a deal, presenting an idea. Remember that February 18th was the first of two New Moons in Pisces that are showing you the deeper side of your life’s purpose. The second one comes March 20th, a Total Solar Eclipse in Pisces, that will bring a harvest of the new seeds you planted February 18th. This is a very big turning point in your year! Spring has rarely sprung as beautifully as it will this year for you.

“We are near waking when we dream we are dreaming.” Navolis

LEO ☀  (July 23-August 22)

Talk about standing in the spotlight! You’ve been waiting in the wings since late September, 2014, and this week (exact on Tuesday, March 3rd) the archetypal Santa Claus raises the curtain and calls you out onto the stage. But, as powerful as your opportunities are for the whole month of March, you’re only in Act I. Act II begins June 22nd. And remember I said you absolutely must highlight your calendar for August 9th and 10th? That’s Act III, when an incredibly rare and powerful laser-like focus helps you stand tall on the world stage. A fiery surge of successful and stabilizing power for your career arrived with Saturn’s move into optimistic Sagittarius (12/23/14). Now you’re getting your creations into the marketplace where they will pay off in financial gain (8/11/15-9/8/16). Too much too fast? A male lion is 6-7 feet in length, weighs 330-550 lbs, and can easily sprint to 50 mph. Own it.

“The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.” Paul Valery

VIRGO ☀  (August 23-September 22)

As a healer, you are teaching and learning that a shift in perception from fear to love is the way out of pain. You had a lot of transformational opportunities laid at your feet in 2014, and now you feel an itchy discontent. Structured Saturn’s move to fiery and philosophical Sagittarius, added responsibilities in your 4th house of home and family. You’re questioning your role, your true purpose and significance in the broader context of your life. The key is to remember that restlessness is your cue to let go. As you do so, you’ll see the intrinsic meaning almost instantaneously, in flashes of intuition, without time for analysis. Follow your intuitive (itchy) hunches to the Virgo Full Moon this Thursday, and leave perfectionism behind. Challenge yourself to be playfully spontaneous as a way to celebrate Tuesday’s visit from Jovial Jupiter--”Lila,” the divine dance, playing with God.

“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming’ after all, is a form of planning.” Gloria Steinem

LIBRA ☀  (September 23-October 22)

Your partnerships are alive with enthusiasm and a call for a fresh start, which comes easy Friday evening when the Moon moves into Libra. You have come through 6 decision points, focused on your relationships, that began September 19, 2012. The 7th and final revelation will be March 16th, when your ruling planet, Venus, joins the god of lightning to bring you “love at first sight” enthusiasm for a partnership. For you, it has to do with stepping up to the relationship plate with clarity about your needs, leaving his needs up to him. In truth, they can’t infringe on one another because they are essentially the same--just different shapes and sizes. It’s time for radically releasing guilt in all its disguises. You’re on your way to a second New Year on April 4th, when a total Lunar Eclipse in Libra will shine a big spotlight on anything that’s still holding you back. Good fortune, lucky opportunities come through a friend this week, particularly on Tuesday, March 3rd. For the next 2 years Saturn is igniting your search for meaning through your 3rd house of communications. You have a practicality and usefulness to your ideas that will pay off in the marketplace. You have more patience, mental discipline and methodicalness to your thinking than you’ve had for roughly 28 years, since December 1985-February 1988. Use it.

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can play together all night.” Bill Watterson

SCORPIO ☀   (October 23-November 21)

You know that place between sleep and waking, where you can still remember the dream? That’s the place of remembering the truth of who you truly are--the spirit of love. You are full on in the process of making this fully conscious. As Saturn left Scorpio on December 23rd, the dark cloud passing before your Sun evaporated. Saturn “rules” the skeletal system, and is symbolic of structures that give your life stability. Now Saturn in Sagittarius, for the next 2 years, brings organization to your 2nd house of money and resources. It’s time to ask the question, “What do I truly value?” On March 16th you come to the 7th and final decision point in the revelations you’ve been having about health and healing, and your deeper understanding of both. You’re harvesting your shamanic wisdom, ready to serve and to heal. You can discern your path much more clearly under the Virgo Full Moon this Thursday. Another visit of good fortune in your house of career and worldly ambitions comes this Tuesday, March 3rd. Notice what wants to expand, to be bigger--perhaps more than you may be comfortable with. Let it call you out of the shadows. You don’t lead by speaking first or going to the head of the line. But you lead nevertheless with your wisdom of other realms, the depth of your spirituality.

“The gift of Love has the power to translate everything I see with the body’s eyes into the vision of a world forgiven, and offering thanks to its Creator.”

SAGITTARIUS ☀   (November 22-December 21)

March is going to be an awfully big adventure! You’ve completed a two year journey of letting go of “stuff” in the external world that you do not need. That was a clearing of the decks, because now you’re reinventing yourself. Your focus is inward. With Saturn in Sagittarius (since December 23rd), you will eliminate anything that distracts you from fulfilling your life’s purpose. This Tuesday, March 3rd, your muse (Jovial Jupiter) is teaming up with the god of lightning for the 2nd of 3 jackpot bonanzas for you. Take advantage of the gifts from the archetypal Santa Claus for travel through the higher realms, for capturing the zeal of the crusader in you, for writing, teaching and publishing. Are you doing what you came here to do? Your consciousness is expanding by leaps and bounds, and old prejudices and limiting beliefs die off of themselves. Remember, some part of your life, related to your resources, has been under construction and is ready to move forward. But not in the way you expected. There’s a creative twist ahead at the crossroads of the 7th and final Revelation on March 16th. The Virgo Full Moon this Thursday brings a culmination in your career, your worldly ambitions. Use it to declutter.

“Consult not your fears, but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what is still possible for you to do.” Pope John XXIII

CAPRICORN   ☀  (December 22-January 19)

What is being reborn in you? You’re now experiencing the itchy feet that you’re going to have throughout the first half of 2015. You have more questions than answers, which is just right for now. You want to move on, but the horizon seems to have too many choices. Relax and play a little, welcome that tender child within you who longs to go Home. Remember, you’ve entered a cocooning phase. Don’t take life too seriously. Saturn in Sagittarius, for the next 2 years, is working the undercurrents of your consciousness, and your “bedevilments” will rise to the surface like bubbles that will break of their own accord. Ancient barriers that may have prevented you from achieving what you wanted are dissolving. Cut your losses and do not label anything a “failure.” Did you notice what happened around December 23rd, 2014? You got “hints” about the 7th and final revelation coming for you around March 16th. The big Santa Claus in the zodiac, Generous Jupiter, is still in your 8th house of death and rebirth which traditionally means inheritance. Look for a fortunate change around this Tuesday, March 3rd. The Virgo Full Moon on Thursday seals the deal. Like Beatrice, you have rounded the mountain and seen the face of God, and you call back to Dante who’s looking down into the Pool of Shame, and you say to that part of yourself, “Look up. Dante, look up!”

If you keep someone imprisoned by your judgements, you’ll have to be a jailer at the door to keep them from escaping, and thus you become a prisoner yourself.  

AQUARIUS   ☀   (January 20-February 18)

Your year opened with vigorous physical activity and and taking right action for your good health, courtesy of warrior Mars. Messenger Mercury is in your sign for a prolonged stay, January 4th to March 12th, and nothing escapes your notice. Your initiative and will power are at an all time high. The big Kris Kringle in the sky is making his generous rounds this week (exact on Tuesday) with unexpected gifts in your 7th house of partnerships. As you approach the 7th and final pinnacle on March 16th, the power to create your own reality will become clear to you. You’ll see many things that have appeared to be agonizing choices, are in fact not choices at all--only one leads to a Happy Dream. Remember, your overall challenge for 2015 is to choose once again, “Do I want to be happy or right?” You’ll realize you can’t have both, and you’ll relinquish your “right” to judge--how could you possibly know what is in everyone’s best interests?  Saturn in Sagittarius calls you get serious about your deepening need for meaning in your life, and expressing it through humanitarian service. It’s important to say no to responsibilities you don’t want, otherwise heavy responsibilities can become a wet blanket on your hopes and dreams. Stay outside the box--it’s where you’ll find your way back Home.

“Let not the world see fear and sad distrust govern the motion of a kingly eye.” William Shakespeare

PISCES ☀  (February 19-March 20)

This is the year to realize you have nothing to fear, because you have remembered who you are in truth. You are the Spirit of love itself, temporarily housed in a body. Although the body seems to “prove” that you are separate and alone, you are able to see beyond such nonsense and call on the strength of your magnificence. For the next 2 years, while Saturn is in Sagittarius, your intellectual discipline can bring you career success, honor and distinction. This is a time you harvest the wisdom of your experiences in the marketplace. Generous Jupiter is in your 6th house of health and healing (July 16, 2014 to August 11, 2015), where this Tuesday, March 3rd, he’s pouring out a cornucopia of surprising opportunities to be of service and to expand your field of work. Don’t let the bigness frighten you. You are often reluctant to lead, but now is the time to take on such responsibilities, without neglecting your personal needs. You’ll see this clearly under the light of Thursday’s Full Moon in Virgo. What did you see on February 18th when the New Moon in Pisces kicked off your true New Year? If you’ve paid attention, great! Because there’s a second, even more powerful New Moon in Pisces coming March 20th, which is also a total solar eclipse. This is an extraordinary call to heal yourself by refusing to take the role of victim/martyr. Now is the time to step into your own personal power to create the life you want. You can shed layers of dark emotions under these Moonbeams.
