Pride Cometh Before A Fall

This week has an interesting dynamic as there are 3 planets on Sunday at 12:00 noon that are at 29 degrees. The 29th degree of the sign is considered to be “not polarized enough”. It is neither masculine nor feminine. The Moon is at 29 degrees of Virgo, Venus is at 29 degrees of Scorpio and Pluto is at 29 degrees of Sagittarius. This would seem to be indicative of some archetypal images emerging from the unconscious that have to do with our concept of love. It would reveal the underground workings that influence how we make our choices of partnerships. In other words, it reflects our secrets.

The Sun and Saturn are in exact trine in earth signs so we can count on cooperation from significant sources of authority to help us attain our monetary goals. Although the general always to some degree will limit the particular, we have the power to direct these influences to a positive end.

Overall, the elements of water and earth are dominant during the week so this results in balance. We moderate our reactions so that we don’t alienate others. Contribute to the enjoyment of others by listening as well as talking. There is much camaraderie in allowing others to express their opinion although it may differ from your own.

Do be aware of the occasional lightning bolt that may come your way. Be at the right place at the right time.

I Can See Clearly Now

The Sun, Jupiter and Mercury are conjunct in the sign of Capricorn. Suddenly, we find ourselves developing an ambitious approach to achieving our goals. We have a clear image and we must bring these things to life. Our plans need to be solidified. We must have some tangible evidence of our work.

Saturn is square the Moon and this tends to keep our emotions in check. We don’t want to commit to a direction until we are sure that we can succeed. Sometimes we just have to make a leap of faith. We have to believe in ourselves and move ahead without really being able to see the end result. We can certainly speculate as to what the end result will be but at some point we have to take a chance.

Neptune is square to Venus so our imagination is taking us to magical and creative places but we are fearful of going too far into this mystery as we may not be able to keep our senses.

Mars is retrograde leaving us with few outlets for our energy. There is a build up of emotions and ideas and beliefs. This may be a good time to examine our motives carefully so that we can better direct these energies toward a constructive goal.
Many forces are opposing these energies so it is best to be patient and let ourselves be guided by subtle influences.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

The stellium in Sagittarius – Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto – is a fiery hot configuration. Expect some fireworks nationally and internationally. The pot is finally coming to a boil and hopefully you have been watching carefully. Many alliances come under careful scrutiny during the week. It appears that the powers that be are really more alert than we previously thought. They’ll need to be vigilant in order to keep the peace and make good political decisions.

The Moon conjunct Uranus in Pisces throws a wet towel on some theories that have been bantered around the office cooler. Circumstances fly in the face of commonly accepted rumors and gossip. There are some disturbing revelations for those who haven’t been objective. On the other hand, objectivity got a lot of people into a lot of trouble.

Factor flexibility into your future plans. Things may not occur at the exact moment that you anticipate. Always leave yourself and others some wiggle room. There is a solution to every situation. Be creative and deliver truth through your own example.

This week brings opportunities to the enthusiastic and able. Put your best foot forward and show your charming side as someone may be watching. A feeling of restlessness prevails but you are about to break out of the doldrums.

Under Siege

The week begins with the Sun and Moon in the sign of Sagittarius (A New Moon). This represents a kind of coming together of forces, a union. The new moon is mediated by Mercury in Sagittarius and this gives us a method of balancing our unconscious with our conscious. When we are relaxed, we allow these unknown influences to rise to the surface where we can work with them. There are five planets currently in the sign of Sagittarius and this is beneficial from many points of view. They allow us to travel and see new vistas with new eyes.

Uranus in Pisces is squaring the moon in Sagittarius so you can expect some twists and turns in the road ahead. Don’t get too comfortable with any one point of view then it may be necessary to change directions at the drop of a hat. With all those planets in Sagittarius we need to remind ourselves to be considerate of other’s feelings as it is easy to blurt out some truth that ends up torpedoing an otherwise satisfactory relationship.

Saturn in Virgo is in sextile aspect to Mars in Cancer. Mars is retrograde so it’s energy is being drawn inward. Saturn is keeping all this energy from being disbursed. Be careful not to let it build up in a way that adversely affects your health. Keep a disciplined approach and focus your energies on areas that will bring future benefits. This is an exceptional period of optimism with positive outcomes coming about expeditiously.

Below the Belt

This week keeps you occupied with practical matters. The holidays are coming and there are plenty of things that must be done. The Moon is in Virgo today and this sets the tone for the week. Virgo is a very helpful sign connected with the Sixth House of the archetype. This is the house of service, service to mankind so be kind to your fellow man. It is also the house of sickness. Maybe we have to fulfill this obligation to others and by doing so we insure our own good health.

Jupiter and Pluto are in Sagittarius and according to some reliable sources, this indicates a payday of some sort. Perhaps it is a bonus or something that you have earned and it is going to find it’s way to you. Be careful of what you wish for, you may actually get it. And also remember, no good deed goes unpunished. If we know what we want and have a plan for getting it, this is the best. To be lucky isn’t always lucky.

Everything looks pastoral at the moment. Enjoy this time of peace and harmony. People are complicated but why not just take them at face value. Play life as a comedy and not a tragedy. Be in control of yourself as this is a true power. Some of the most rich and accomplished people do not have control over themselves. If you can achieve self control, you’ll be way ahead of the game.

If You Just Believe

Ever wake up in the morning and wonder who dealt this mess. This could be a common thread in the week to come. It seems that people and situations just get wackier and wackier. How so many people can have the same reaction to what is going on personally and globally is difficult to comprehend. Of course, how we experience these planetary influences has to do with our rising sign. Planets influence us the way that we receive the planetary influences. Our rising sign is our receiver.

The Sun has just entered the sign of Sagittarius so we feel adventurous. This is excellent as it will lead to developing some original ways of handling some aggravating situations. Remember to use diplomacy although my urge is to speak out strongly…this could have some negative ramifications. It’s time to broaden your experiences and get on with some new activities that will put you in contact with a fresh new group of acquaintances.

Pluto conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius unleashes some deep seated emotions and gives a needed boost to energize us toward freedom of action. Use this aspect to it’s fullest as it won’t be long until the Sun squares Saturn in Virgo and you will have to return to a disciplined and detail oriented agenda. Enjoy the holiday spirit!

Money Makes the World Go Round

With the Sun in Scorpio we see the hidden side of different situations. We see the underbelly. This can be an eye opener for many as we assume that mankind is well meaning. However, our instincts are another side of us that are not thoroughly examined. Since our motives are not only conscious but unconscious it makes anticipating the next move very difficult. You need to be a good chess player, you have to look deeply into the game. You have to see maybe twenty moves ahead with all the possible counter moves. Since this is almost impossible for most people, we have to trust our own moves. It is possible to find this center where we have peace of mind. We can be guided by our conscience which is probably connected with higher influences.

The Moon is Pisces makes us feel compassionate. We want to understand others. We want to put our feet into the other’s shoes. It is this attempt that causes us to suffer. When we know others, we will also know ourselves. This causes us to be obligated to the longer course of action. We realize the need to integrate time and space. Time and space solve all problems.

Mars is retrograde in the sign of Cancer. This will result in reviewing some of our family relationships and what exactly these feelings of good or ill will are predicated upon. Since the sign of Cancer is the natural ruler of the home and Mars is in fall in this sign, we find that if we haven’t spent some time thinking about these relationships they can be a source of unhappiness and distress. Determine whether or not your actions and reactions are appropriate and moderate.

Quick Change Artist

This week starts out with lights flickering, electrical devices malfunctioning, computer connection conflicts and who knows what else. What is responsible for these glitches are anybody’s guess. But judging from the planets this week it is going to be a high wire act for most of us. Perhaps Mars trine Uranus is the culprit. Uranus is retrograde in Pisces while Mars is about to go retrograde in Cancer. Then within a week Uranus goes direct. It seems that this crisscrossing effect may be the source.

The Moon which is the back drop for the week begins this week in Sagittarius. Sagittarius doesn’t have particularly good instincts and is impetuous. This could be a deadly combination politically so watch what you say. Don’t make any rash judgments about the motives of others as you could be seriously mistaken.

Jupiter and Pluto are in an approaching conjunction. This should bring some benefit to you in whatever area of your natal chart the sign Sagittarius falls. Perhaps some unknown source of income or money you left behind finds its way back to you. Saturn in Virgo reminds us to be resourceful in our daily expenditures. Low overhead can be the key to financial success.

Big Oaks from Little Acorns Grow

This week begins with 4 planets in the sign of Virgo. Virgo is a feminine, mutable, earth sign. Sun and Moon in Virgo show the versatility and hard work that go into accomplishment. Saturn in Virgo puts emphasis on the day to day efforts that eventually lead to success while Venus in Virgo gives lightness to the effort. All things start with just one step.

Uranus in Pisces opposes the Sun and Moon in Virgo so expectations may be met with better than anticipated results. This shows that moving in a direction can be beneficial even when we don’t know exactly what we are aiming for. Things come to us just through taking action. Virgo is a reactive sign and this shows that stimulus pushes us in a direction. Virgo is mutable, therefore pendulum like. It swings back and forth toward a goal.

Jupiter and Pluto are in the sign Sagittarius and this give dimension to philosophical beliefs. The love of wisdom is pronounced at this time. Mercury trine Neptune adds to the images generated by the unconscious. Use these images to broaden you understanding of higher influences.

Dreams Really Do Come True

The Sun in Scorpio lends itself to secrecy and the knowing of things unknown. This sign has the uncanny ability to sense your inner most secrets. Scorpio is great at keeping other people’s private life to themselves. They won’t advertise your personal information but they may use it to their advantage and that is what gives Scorpio such a controversial reputation. The Moon in Gemini makes for lively conversation and intellectual sparring. This is something that Scorpios find tedious and unpleasant.

In the coming weeks the planets are in the fall and winter signs. This is a time for serious contemplation of your most intimate thoughts and feelings. Venus in Virgo is square to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This represents the greater fortune competing with the lesser fortune or the big self in conflict with the little self. The little self represents the personality and our desires and the big self our connection with higher influences.
Don’t neglect either one. They can both be satisfied.

Mars trine Uranus relieves a lot of built up pressure that has been increasing over the past weeks. Little by little you can blow off steam thereby warding off any big explosion of temper. The Sun trine Mars reminds us that our status often depends on our ability to control the devil within. Our ego dictates that we indulge activities that deliver us to our goals. Unexpected good results come from following our dreams. Don’t be too willing to compromise as what you want is within your reach. Make sure you have the right dream.

Anticipation Is Making Me Late

While it is true that patience is the only virtue…waiting for Godot isn’t. Now would be a good time to check not only the relevance of your thinking but also the reality of it. Theory may be brilliant until it is put to the test of practical application and time. There does seem to be a window of opportunity for receiving hidden insights into the motives of others and ourselves. Take this moment to recount the best way of improving your own psychology. Leave reforming others to the professionals.

The conscious and the unconscious are in harmony so now you can be on the same page with yourself. Know yourself and you will know the others. Know the others and you will know yourself. Perhaps the times bring about a kind of Machiavellian behavior in humanity. Use inexperience as a tool to teach yourself the lessons of life. This reminds me of a parable in which the King asks for a shave. The barber hears the request “that if one drop of blood is spilled, the barber will get his head cut off.” So the barber sends his assistant and the assistant decides to send his assistant until the least experienced one had to give the King a shave.” The most inexperienced barber shaves the King and does a perfect job. The King inquired,”you heard my message, how is it that you are brave enough to give me a shave?” The young barber replied, “the knife is in my hand”.

Basically, we find people feeling gregarious but still keeping their real feelings to themselves. This would be due to the sextile between Mercury and Saturn. Don’t expect to see any revelations in thinking any time soon. Fear is a very difficult emotion to drive out.

Climb Every Mountain

The week begins under a veil of secrecy thanks to the Moon in Scorpio. Scorpio is always investigating the underlying cause and purpose of behavior. There are many causes for an effect and many effects from a cause. It’s a bit like throwing a stone in the water. You can see the ripples of water spreading out from the source. The Sun in Libra increases the need to communicate in a civilized and sociable manner. This masks any underlying agendas that exist within the unconscious.

Emotions are strong during the week, so try and moderate your reaction. Don’t over react to stimulus that may be waiting to undermine your more constructive plans. Saturn conjunct Venus in Virgo gives an elegant and intelligent aspect to your daily life. Focus on the immediate task at hand and this will be relaxing. The mind is very restless at this time and staying focused is a way to mitigate extreme anxiety.

The Sun in Libra trine Neptune in Aquarius is partially responsible for your imagination working overtime. Dramas can become exacerbated by drawing unfounded conclusions. Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio and will remain retrograde until November 2nd. Use this time to review your plans and make changes that will benefit future developments.

There Are No Words

The week begins with the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Virgo. So although you would like to express yourself verbally this doesn’t happen easily. The Moon in Virgo is sextile Mercury in Scorpio and this just adds to the frustration as it is impossible to explain what gives us inner peace. Perhaps it is the ability to “belong to yourself” that gives the feeling of being connected to higher influences.

Venus leaves the sign of Leo and enters the sign of Virgo so our sense of beauty starts to take on a practical aspect. Often you find commercial artists with Venus in Virgo. Uranus in Pisces in exactly square Jupiter in Sagittarius so you can expect more inner tension with regard to the conventional versus the unconventional. Just choose one and pursue it because it is very difficult to keep switching back and forth.

Saturn is conjunct the Moon so again we find a kind of suppression of our inner most feelings. We can’t expose ourselves completely because the fear of rejection is compelling. Remember that a long journey begins with just one step…don’t be afraid to take just one step.

The Fundamental Things Apply

The moon exalted in Taurus sets the tone for the coming week. It makes getting away from firmly held beliefs next to impossible. Once they have an idea in mind, there is just no way for Taurus the bull to come around to any other vantage point. They take a position and stick to it. This is all well and good because eventually they will come to the truth. Like the patient who had a toothache and goes to the dentist. The dentist asked his patient “Which tooth is it that hurts?” The patient replies “Are you the dentist or am I the dentist?” So the dentist reached in and pulled out a tooth. The patient complained, “you pulled the wrong tooth” and the dentist replied “don’t worry, we’ll come to it.”

Mars is trine to Mercury and sextile to Saturn so although there may be some deeply subdued feelings of hostility, they are kept under a lid through the interference of Saturn. This is advantageous because as the saying goes “loose lips sink ships”. Better to keep quiet and people will think you are a wise person. Why open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Jupiter in Sagittarius is in square aspect to Uranus. This leads to a teetering back and forth between the conventional and unconventional. Also, this indicates a struggle between excess and limitation. Give yourself a vacation and let others enjoy their own approach to life. No one needs a truth serum.

The Wheels of Justice Grind Slowly

Sun in Libra and Moon in Aquarius start the week with the advantage of clear communication. The conscious and the unconscious are in harmony. This is a good time to clear away the psychological cobwebs that have been hanging around for a while.
Mercury is in Libra, in honor of Triplicity, is a great position for this planet. Air signs like Libra, Aquarius and Gemini love to communicate. The Moon will form a trine aspect to Neptune in Aquarius, so you can assume that others are able to sense what you have in mind.

Saturn is not aspecting any planet this week so you might find it much harder to focus on projects that need your attention. You’ll have to apply yourself in order to meet any impending deadlines. Mercury the planet of communication and intelligence forms a trine to Jupiter and this will give you a broader reach by expanding your circle of influence. Beware the sextile between Mercury and Pluto which could derail your plans before you have made the necessary inroads to your objectives.

All in all, this will be a fine week for casual conversation and pleasant exchange with the human race as a whole. The fiery planet Mars is in the sign of Gemini and cooperates nicely with Mercury in Libra. This should give you an added boost of energy to carry out plans without creating too much fatigue that stems from the basic grind of life.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

This week starts out with an exact square between Sun in Virgo and Mars in Gemini. This may be great for sporting events but lousy for matters where patience is necessary. There is a lot of tension driving the will and with the Moon in Scorpio this indicates that unforeseen forces are afoot. The Moon in a general way represents the masses and in Scorpio you expect that people are at the disposal of their instincts. This can create dangerous situations. The Moon is also in a trine aspect to Uranus and this may indicate some surprising news.

The Moon is square Venus so don’t expect people to be polite. If they have a point to make it will be direct and possibly not too diplomatic. However unpleasant the week turns out to be, people will be intent on removing the smoke screens and getting down to the essential truths of their existence.

The Moon will be squaring Neptune so even though a breakthrough seems possible, we are still mired in inconsistencies of values. If you know what you want it will be a lot easier for others to recognize your needs. Straighten out your own thinking before you start giving advice to others. As you can see with so many aspects to the Moon, the unconscious is very powerful and often more important than the conscious in dictating future events.

There is Nothing New Under the Sun

This week starts out behind the proverbial “8 ball”. With the Sun in Virgo opposing Uranus in Pisces there are powerful forces at work. Many of these forces are difficult if not impossible to direct. Uranus always brings unexpected circumstances and does not submit to the will. The best would be to take extra time planning your actions so that they will not create unbearable tension.

Moon in Leo keeps us centered in our thoughts. We make ourselves the center and everything revolves around us. Venus has just gone direct so we start to feel our emotions begin to emerge after a period of sublimation. Be considerate of others feelings as they may feel overly sensitive at this time.

Be patient as the opportunity to move ahead is forthcoming. Timing is a critical factor in obtaining your goals. Patience is the only virtue. Work conscientiously to maintain your balance during trying times. It seems that you will eventually get the cooperation of others if you don’t alienate them by impetuous behavior. People feel much more secure when they think they know what you will do next.

Nothing Lasts Forever

This week seems a little like an approaching tornado. Things are spinning around and around and this leads to a very unsettled feeling. However, your razor sharp mind should keep things from spiraling completely out of control. The Moon in Taurus sets the tone for a bullish week. But which end of the bull are you at? Beware of the bull’s weaponry, those horns can be dangerous. The Moon is exalted in Taurus so tenacity is basically a good trait.

Actions come easily and dictate the road to be traveled. There seems to be the desire to hang on to what is comfortable. Let go of situations that no longer serve your purpose. It will soon be much simpler to organize your thoughts and efforts. Still it seems that complicated circumstances surround us. It is very difficult to separate yourself from your environment.

Expand your horizons by taking on new responsibilities that will benefit you and others as well. It will prepare you for the more difficult tasks ahead. Your resistance only serves to strengthen the turbulent feelings within. Integrate time and space and any problems that you are having will solve themselves.

The Art of Happiness is to Serve All

The Sun has just entered the sign of Virgo, a hard working and practical sign. Also, we find Mercury in Virgo as well. Therefore, a sharp discriminating mind for whatever unexpected situations may arise. Mercury is going to oppose Uranus during the week and this usually indicates a kind of confrontation with unanticipated circumstances.

Saturn is about to leave the Sign of Leo after 2 ½ years and it too will enter the sign of Virgo. Saturn is in honor of triplicity in the the Sign of Virgo so we will start to see a much more workable landscape for problems that have been looming for sometime. Greater cooperation will be achieved and solutions to many problems will be formulated. Action will be taken, although, there is still not enough clarity to push strongly ahead. It will take time to see the best path.

Emotions are kept in the background. Practical and intellectual influences are now beginning to dominate. Power drives diminish in the course of action. When to act and when not to act is the question. Many things are gained by action and many things may be gained by inaction. Instincts play a large part in the choices we make until we understand better the laws of nature.

The Sun Will Come Out Tommorrow

The power drive of the human being dominates the landscape of the current planetary configuration. Objectivity got a lot of people into a lot of trouble. Now many people are looking to others to bail them out…not likely to happen. Survival of the fittest is no joke. With a stellium in Leo (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn) powerful influences vie for dominion. Actions speak louder than words.

Mars in the sign of Gemini point to the fact that actions are working at cross purposes. There is an uncertainty to our sense of stability and this will even out in time. For now we must go with the flow. Whatever judgments have been made, they have to be endured. The Moon in Scorpio makes this week a trip down the road of the unknown. Strong gut reactions can take their toll on people who have been caught unprepared.

Intensity keeps your emotions on alert. Take time to relax and give yourself some needed TLC. Remember that only you can give to yourself and only you can take away from yourself. The week ahead appears to have some unexpected events, be delighted in the changes promised.

Let The Games Begin

This week will be a powerhouse with a stellium (4 planets or more) in Leo. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are all in the same sign of Leo. This week you can begin to move mountains. No fooling around, this will be the week to undertake any daunting task as the power of these planets will pack some real punch. Saturn will receive assistance from Pluto and this will assure the forward movement of any project that was waiting for approval.

There was an actual moment when you doubted that it was all going to come together but now you know that it is a sure thing. Do keep your perspective though as it is easy to invest too much of your time in details that won’t make any difference to the ultimate outcome. Stay focused on the essentials.

There are few feelings of emotion or logic that guide your decisions at this time. Make sure that what you do is well anchored in clear thinking and well founded ideas. The lack of planets in air and water signs make rash actions possible. Take your time and don’t hurry. Patience is the only virtue.

Bring Me No Good News

The general public seems like they are ready for a fight. It must be the passing Mars square Saturn. Last week was exhausting and now there is little available energy at the beginning of the week. The conscious and unconscious are struggling to find harmony. There is some undiscovered secret within us that is trying to emerge.

Jupiter is going direct for the first time since April and this will change the momentum of the past several months. Finally, the benefits of personal restraint are paying off. It was the holding back and not being carried away by illusions of grandeur that has led to this rather unremarkable success. Sometimes it's not what you do but what you don’t do. Resources that have been previously unavailable now become easy to obtain.

The semi sextile between Mercury and Venus allow a brief moment in time that some ingenious action may occur. This creates a defining moment that heart and mind work flawlessly together. Still the atmosphere lacks freedom of movement. All the elements are not represented equally thus there is an inability to adjust to changing circumstances comfortably. This will improve in the coming months.

Who Let the Dogs Out

The underlying energy of the week begins with the Moon at the 29th degree of Capricorn. When planets are at the 29th degree they are not polarized enough, neither masculine nor feminine. This gives rise to a feeling of paralysis. What to do next isn’t springing to mind. Saturn is trine to Pluto and this combination is motivating you to get rid of unnecessary baggage so that you can move more freely ahead with plans that you have formulated in the previous weeks.

Mercury in Cancer which keeps you caught up in the past is trine Uranus urging you to let go of memories and attachments that no longer serve your purpose. All the planets seem to be pushing us toward a more carefree and simple approach to life. Don’t get careless though because the square between Mars and Saturn make the environment more hostile than usual. It’s the struggle between time and space. In order to solve problems you must integrate time. This is painful as we want everything immediately.

Venus is retrograde for the next couple of months. This will cause us to review the area of our charts that Venus rules over. Venus is concerned with manners and etiquette so be on your best behavior as an opportunity from the past may be revisiting you. The atmosphere still seems a little stagnant. Try to be at the right place at the right time.

Master of Your Universe

No matter how many doors or windows you open, it just seems like there isn’t enough air. And it turns out that there is only one planet in an air sign at this time which is Neptune in the sign of Aquarius. It’s like a glazed fog with no breeze. Don’t worry as you can find the communication you desire by changing your frame of reference. The Sun will enter the sign of Leo tomorrow and you will be able to clear the air as never before. Don’t be afraid to stick your neck out and let people know how you are feeling. Also, don’t forget to be diplomatic when you tell them.

There is a sextile aspect between Mars in Taurus and Uranus in Pisces. This gives a charge to the tasks at hand. You can wiz through the most difficult and tedious jobs without batting an eyelash. Your wit and wisdom will cheer everyone up including you.
The Moon in Scorpio sextile Venus in Virgo will add some intrigue to your long and adventurous days. Just point your wand in the direction you want to go and you will arrive in splendor. Things seem so easy nowadays.

Change is something that happens whether we like it or not. It’s important to maintain your values while taking advantage of the tide. Don’t try swimming upstream but use the momentum of the current to carry you to your goals. These changes don’t have to ignite a conflict but rather they should encourage cooperation. Go slowly and your will arrive sooner.

And The Question Is

This is a good time to take some of the pressure off your self. Others may think that they have you chasing your tail but that couldn’t be further from the truth. You are going to be kind to yourself and take some of the well earned down time that you deserve. With the Sun in the sign of Cancer you are sensitive to the surrounding environment and your instincts are sharp. Listen to the little voice within and use it as guidance. You can trust yourself.

Venus and Mars are both in earth signs and are approaching a trine aspect, which brings your social life into the spotlight. Do things that you wouldn’t ordinarily do and enjoy every moment. Lots of new opportunities are on the horizon. Step out. The Moon in Leo will be coming into an opposition with Neptune in Aquarius, this undertone will give insight into your motivations and expectations. The Moon will also be trine Jupiter and this will give an especially charming side to your personality.

Try putting you feet into the shoes of others. Understand why someone feels the way they do about a situation. Be diplomatic if you don’t agree and find the many points on the subject that you can agree. People might come around to your point of view if you find some common ground upon which you can establish a rapport.

Look Before You Leap

Tempers hit the boiling point during this coming week. There is no time to reconstruct our plan, we must go with the prevailing winds. In some sense there is a great divide that must be bridged. Fire and water are the dominant elements that determine our current circumstances. Water is either putting out the fire or the fire is causing the water to steam. Either way, there is some loss of efficiency as these elements don’t cooperate easily.

The Moon is trine Venus, so we retain a sense of calm even though we are aware that we are undergoing some turbulence. Pluto is also part of this grand trine which accounts for the situation. Although trines show a cooperation of planets, we must consider the nature of the planets that it unites.

Language is one of the many things that suffer due to lack of clarity. The spoken and written word are both open to interpretation. For example, the words “listening” and “hearing” have different meanings.

There are many problems in the world around us and we seem to be unable to find working solutions. The air and earth elements are minimally represented at the moment. Practicality and rationality are not strong at this time. Impulse and emotion are dictating action.

A Time for Every Purpose

The Sun is conjunct Mercury in Cancer which makes letting go of the past more painful. The Moon in Capricorn challenges this instinct by making us acutely aware of the limitations of time. The past, present and future coexist. The only way to change what happens in the future is by changing the present. Changing the present is difficult because we are conditioned by our past. As my astrology teacher once said, “We have less free will than we think we do, but more than we will ever use.”

Venus and Saturn are conjunct in Leo. Leo is connected with creativity, love and children. Sometimes we find it difficult to communicate our feelings as Leo is a very proud sign. But it is a loyal sign and remains focused on those things that they love. With Venus and Saturn conjunct, we find that we are less likely to risk communicating our true feelings as the fear of rejection is strong.

As Venus approaches a trine with Pluto, we gain the courage to represent ourselves honestly and completely and allow others the same freedom. We don’t have to be right except to be right for ourselves. Each of us has to find our own right. Venus opposed to Neptune tests our reality skills. We have to identify our own inconvenient truths.

Are Those Rose Colored Glasses?

The Sun has just entered the sign of Cancer and this let’s us become more aware of our immediate surroundings. The little things that we face each and everyday that create our sense of security may be shifting. We need to re-examine these familiar things to make sure that we are comfortable and satisfied with the persona that we are projecting. Granted, the persona is the image that we project and it is the way that others see us, but we may need to make some adjustments so that we feel strongly connected to this image.

The Moon just passed the sextile with Saturn so we feel mildly sedated in terms of our unconscious desires. Possibly there is a disconnection between the conscious and unconscious that needs to be addressed. This disconnection surfaces in the conscious where we may make the necessary changes. This will allow us to go forward in a more decisive way.

Venus approaches a conjunction to Saturn which will make us more cautious about our intentions and suspicious of the intentions of others. Trust comes from knowing yourself, and if you know yourself, you will know the others. Also, if you know the others, you will know yourself. We all have the same possibilities for making the right judgments but sometimes we fool ourselves. Neptune is in exact opposition to Saturn, so we are not always aware of our blind spots.

Please Don't Eat the Daisies

This week begins with an underlying feeling of anxiety. Nothing seems to be easy. You feel as if you can’t trust your own instincts. Actually, the Moon is in Cancer today and will continue to play a part in developing a sense of security. The Moon is in domicile in the sign of Cancer meaning that the instincts are generally reliable. Obviously, there are many considerations that influence our actions but instincts are definitely one of them.

The Sun is approaching an opposition to Pluto so this can give a sense of anxiety as we are faced with the fact that time has to be integrated. We can not move too slowly or too quickly or it can set things into motion prematurely. Timing is one of the most important factors. Time and space solve all problems.

Saturn is sextile to Neptune and this will add imagination to our thoughts and actions. This creative aspect can reform even the most inflexible and frustrated individuals. It offers a chance to look at things from another perspective. Try putting your feet into the shoes of another. This will help you realize the needs and expectations of friends and foes.

Surprise, Surprise

Expect some high handed behavior coming from your friends and associates in the week ahead. The sextile between the Sun and Mars and the conjunction between Moon and Mars seems to give carte blanche to saying whatever comes into their minds. A little editing would be suggested so as not to be considered a real horse’s ass. This advice, however, may not come in time for the masses. Or should I say the sheep. There is a saying “People will consider you a wise person, so why open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

All joking aside, this week should be full of new opportunities to get the ball rolling in a new direction. Stop procrastinating and do what has to be done. Spring is the season of new beginnings. Aries, Taurus & Gemini represent the spring signs in the zodiac. These signs are considered to be youthful. This vibrant time of the year is a good time to lay the foundation for projects that you plan to develop in the future.

Still air and fire signs dominate the week. That means that vital information is still coming in and you should withhold making any decisions at this time. Wait for more input and this will lead to a better outcome. Be considerate of other people’s feelings as they may not be as informed as you are.

What Goes Up Must Come Down

This week begins with a feeling of being bottled up. The moon in Capricorn doesn’t share suffering with others, at least not openly. But suffering can have purpose too and Capricorn shows us just how a little self control can make for a very good result. It may seem uncomfortable to sit quietly with your problems but holding back in some situations is what is called for.

Meanwhile, the other planets are in challenging aspects, with lots of squares and oppositions. Things may seem chaotic and it seems that there are a lot of people claiming the grapes are sour just like in Aesop’s fairytale “The Fox and the Grapes”. Why other people’s sour grapes attitude has to affect you is the real question. Ignore the temptation to spell it out for them…they’ll come to it in their own time.

Don’t neglect the things that are really important to you. Focus on your own success and forget about telling the other guy about a better way of doing it. You can only live one life and that is your own. Jupiter retrograde is in trine to Saturn & Mars, so something that belongs to you will be returned. Be gracious.

What truly belongs to you, no one can take away. And what you obtain in the right way will be a source of happiness and will be maintained.

Have A Reason to Be

This week begins with an exact opposition between Mercury and Pluto. This reminds us to take stock of our current position and attitude toward our daily life. We can make some changes that will point us in a more constructive and fulfilling direction. This is a time to be mindful of our environment and to see the nature of things that surround us. It is a chance to get in harmony with nature.

The Moon will trine Neptune and this adds a dreamy quality to the week. It is as if we are not quite conscious of our own lives. Most of our lives are lived in the unconscious and it is our job to become more conscious. This requires an effort on our part and can be deeply rewarding if we are willing. Jupiter square Uranus gives us an insight into the traditional and the eccentric. Basically we can spend our whole lives being at odds with these two concepts, the conventional versus the unconventional.

The heavy concentration of planets in fire and air signs contributes to a working relationship with ourselves as well as others. The combination of inspiration and communication create a flow of energy that is very productive. Air signs are intellectual signs and fire signs indicate a power drive. Fire needs air. A power drive needs intelligence.

Spend some time thinking about your raison d’être.

Double Take

After spending considerable time on the road less traveled we are finally headed down the road less bumpy. It seems like the planetary configurations are quite harmonious in the coming week. Except for Mercury, the planet of thinking which is getting a square from Uranus and an opposition from Jupiter, it is smooth sailing. Things are far better than even you can imagine.

The Moon in Cancer makes for a clingy type of behavior but it gets a nice trine from Uranus which coaxes you into letting go of worn out ideas and outmoded feelings of security. Straighten yourself up and sense that you are now gaining control over your own actions. This is where the real power lies. Mercury is sextile to Saturn and this allows your powers of concentration to keep you focused.

Staying focused is important because it is easy to lose our will when faced with difficult circumstances. The Sun is trine Pluto so we can get down to the nitty gritty of things. Jupiter trine Saturn continues to take us from the general to the particular and from the particular to the general. It is this kind of synthesis that results in good judgment.

Venus trine Uranus adds some real fun in the week ahead. Don’t forget to enjoy each day. The happy day makes the happy week, the happy week the happy month, the happy month the happy life. Every journey starts with just one step.

I Just Don't Fit in this Box Anymore

If you feel like you are getting hit from all sides, this is no overstatement. That is exactly what is happening. But, thanks to your lightning reflexes things have not gotten completely out of hand. Congratulate yourself for being able to keep your composure under very trying circumstances. This week starts with the Moon in Aries, so watch out that you don’t blurt out something without also showing a little diplomacy. You can say anything as long as you put a soft edge on it.

Saturn and Jupiter continue to be in trine, therefore, you will feel the contracting and expanding for a while longer. This motion will help you produce some positive results as long as you don’t try to control everything.

There is an inconjunct aspect between Saturn and Uranus now and this translates into the situation of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Be prepared to do some reconciling until this aspect passes. Actually, the inconjunct aspect is an aspect of neglect. Try not to neglect those who are important to you.

Overall you should be enjoying a general increase in your energy. Give it all you’ve got, victory is just around the corner.

Consciously Creating Circumstances

The Sun is approaching a conjunction with Mercury in Taurus so good ideas spring to mind. Taurus is a fixed sign so it doesn’t exhibit a lot of flexibility. Try to incorporate various ideas and don’t be too set on the outcome. Cooperate with the laws of nature and you will find that things fall into place without exaggerated effort.

Saturn is trine to Jupiter which is retrograde. You may be analyzing your prospects for a new business venture. Jupiter brings together opportunities from the past and combines them with your present state of mind. Discipline will be needed to bring about your potential. Don’t lull yourself into thinking you don’t have to actively pursue your goals. They won’t happen by themselves.

Pluto and Mars will soon form an exact square. This is a good time to take a stand on issues that you feel strongly about. Otherwise, you may be swept up in the tide and end up doing a lot of things that you don’t really care to do. Start to recognize the weak spots in your plan so that you can shore them up before moving to the next step.

Radical beliefs prevail in the world of politics. Attach your mind to things that will have lasting value for you. Don’t play a double game. Choose what you want and be willing to pay for it. For every advantage is a disadvantage.

Dangerous Liasons

Practical issues come more strongly into focus this week with the Sun and Mercury in the sign of Taurus. Matters concerning personal income take on greater significance and you are motivated to plan for the future. The tendency to be tempted by greater risk is possible so fight back any urge to go to extremes. Patience is the only virtue, so be methodical and stick to a conservative approach.

Jupiter and Saturn although in retrograde motion are in exact trine. Speak clearly and precisely about your expectations and others will not confuse your kindness for weakness. Plans move along according to schedule so stay active and you will obtain the results you are looking for. Venus trine Neptune puts you in a whimsical mood. This is a nice change from the previous months. Enjoy the lack of pressure to perform.

Mars conjunct Uranus in Pisces lends itself to chaotic and explosive emotions. Don’t be too outspoken or this may set off a chain of negative reactions. There is a strong undercurrent that will churn up unexpected feelings that you may not be in touch with. This is a positive development as it will allow you to make necessary adjustments to your personality.

The Heart has Reasons that Reason doesn't Know

The Sun just entered Taurus where practical matters come to the forefront. Sources of income now come under scrutiny, and you might start to consider other methods of bolstering your personal income. Be creative, and you will actually start to enjoy the many varied streams of income that you can get coming your way. Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn form a grand trine in fire and this has an insulating effect on your thinking. Try to think out of the box. Look at things in a new way.

Mars is approaching the conjunction with Uranus and this creates an on and off feeling when it comes to your energy level. You feel fired up and ready to go one minute and tired the next. This will pass quickly. This is a temporary effect of the present planetary configurations. It is not something to be concerned about.

The week begins with the Moon in Cancer which sets the background. This results in moodiness which is underlying many of your feelings. This again is not a lasting tone. Things will come into focus all of a sudden and you will be on to some new and exciting adventures. Plan something entertaining, something that will help you unwind and relax.

A Winding Road

This week is filled with unexpected twists and turns. It makes everything seem rather tentative. It is as if we can’t get our feet firmly on the ground. Sudden expansion and contraction of ideas is necessary to illustrate the evolution of our daily life. We are making progress on many fronts but it is difficult to appreciate how long it takes to get concrete results. It is tedious and labor intensive.

Don’t rely on others to tie up loose ends. Take responsibility yourself as others seem preoccupied with their own agendas. It is in putting these final matters to rest that we can expect some unusual and uplifting forces to carry us along our path. We are engaging the natural powers to aid us in constructing our future. This can lead to effortless advances without struggle.

The Sun trine Pluto gives this week some real substance. Slap yourself, just to make sure that you are on planet earth. Saturn goes direct at the end of the week so plans that have been on the back burner can be brought to full boil. Use spirit and opportunity to boost your level of enthusiasm. Success is just steps away.

Fight Fire With Fire

The week begins with the grand fire trine of Sun in Aries, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Leo. This cooperation of planetary energy is bound to be released in a spectacular way. It is as if the expansion and contraction of energy is stabilized and focused by the Sun. Use this time to do tasks that have been particularly difficult to do and follow up with any matters that have been left unfinished. Timing is everything, so now is the time to capitalize on an opportunity that may not come again. Take action.

Your imagination is likely to be very active at this time. You are probably having some very vivid dreams that you wake up and remember briefly. We usually work out some problems during sleep that we are not conscious of during our waking hours. These night visions are good to analyze as they may reveal some of the hidden aspects of our own personality. Don’t go overboard in your analysis as this could lead to paranoia.

With the approaching square between Mercury and Pluto, try to have a moderate reaction to others. It would be easy for someone to over react causing a wave of unpleasantness to wash over your environment. By not strongly reacting yourself, you force the others to be balanced.

Overall, this will be a very lively week with some surprises that will be refreshing. New faces on the scene will spice things up in your personal life. Keep your eye on the horizon.

Keep Your Friends Close & Your Enemies Closer

Look out this week or you might be seeing stars, literally. Moon square Pluto and Uranus conjunct Mercury sets off some real sparks. You know what they say, “when two are fighting, the one who gets in the middle gets hit over the head.” Stay out of other people’s domestic disputes lest they let you have it.

Mars has just passed the conjunction with Neptune in Aquarius, so now is the time to get a handle on just how your social life and financial life are coming together. Many pretenses will be dropped and you can see what is really happening. There will be a little less misinformation circulating. Clarity will be forthcoming.

Jupiter goes retrograde this week so you may have to wait longer than anticipated for a move you plan to make. Any offers will likely be held up in red tape and won’t manifest until sometime in August. In the meantime, consider your other options and decide if your intended expansion will serve your true purpose.

Other possibilities that you haven’t considered are in store for you. Maybe another possibility will work better where your future goals are concerned. Expect a coalition of circumstances to change some plans that you may have thought were set in stone.

Never Ever Give Up

Just when you are about to say “so long” to an aggravating situation, you are pulled back to complete what will certainly be the final chapter. People are not easily influenced. We learn by observation but what we observe is commonly tainted by our own experience. I suppose this means that we can’t completely trust the things that we see with our own eyes. Truth is difficult to find unless we search our own souls. This practice of searching requires strenuous effort but delivers important concepts for us to explore.

This week brings the hard edge of reality into focus. If we have been working steadily toward a goal and have been working with heart and mind to fulfill it, then good results will be forthcoming. But if we have doubts, this too will be evident. You must be able to conceive it before you can achieve it. The Sun just entered Aries and this will give some enthusiasm to your plans.

Mars is about to conjunct Neptune in Aquarius and Mercury is headed toward the conjunction of Uranus in Pisces. These configurations promise a leap of faith. The courage to go after something that may not seem obvious to others is in your mind. Only you know if this is the right choice for you. If it is, be brave and forge ahead.

Go Slowly and You Will Arrive Sooner

The week begins under the influence of the New Moon which indicates new beginnings. Also, a stellium in the sign of Pisces lends itself to the finishing up of old business. In some cases, there will be an unexpected end to circumstances that have been troublesome. Feelings that have been lying under the surface start to make their way in to consciousness. This is positive as it will allow you to make needed changes in your psychology. Simple things that may have been holding you back and have been inaccessible to your conscious will be resolved.

The sextile between Mercury and Venus gives you the diplomacy to turn unfavorable situations into favorable ones. Think carefully about how you present your ideas. Almost anyone can be reasonable when you give them the opportunity to be heard. Being right is not the most important thing, but working out a plan that works in your best interest should be the priority.

It seems that overall the world is in an unclear state. It appears that many have not committed to a position. Until this happens, circumstances will continue to be chaotic and volatile. Once we decide what we want, the others will help us achieve it. It’s the commitment that gets us to the next step. Remember you pay for what you want and you pay for what you don’t want. Know what you want and others will too.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

A little humor will go a long way this week. It seems like we are surrounded by incompetents but this is an opportunity to put things into a better perspective. Use these people to expand your level of patience. Don’t give in to their invasive and aggressive tactics. Let information flow through without grabbing onto any negative thoughts. It’s just information and you can do anything you want with it and that includes ignoring it completely.

Mercury has gone direct, so previous misinformation will be straightened out. It will seem that people are actually listening to you. They are hearing what you are saying. So don’t become frustrated, but begin to enjoy a more powerful form of communication. It’s not always what you say but how you say it. And it is not always what is said but what isn’t said.

Still nothing seems to be clicking. The timing for projects is still slightly out of sync. Use this time to develop your ideas more completely. Then try to be at the right place at the right time. This is in your power, although it is often unconscious rather than conscious.

The Times They Are A Changing

The week begins with the passing of the full moon. The Sun has just passed the exact conjunction of Uranus and now the effects of last week’s news begin to trickle down.
Mars, Neptune and Mercury in Aquarius continue to stir up old flames. There is a feeling of pensiveness that prevails. Pressure builds within. Look for outlets such as running or working out to stay on an even keel.

The Moon in Virgo square Jupiter in Sagittarius keeps the neat and tidy looking for more places to stash their stuff. Foreign entities continue to seek refuge is safe havens. The problem with being overly cautious is that while backing away from one problem, you find your self backing into another problem. Somehow it all seems a little inescapable for the moment.

Mercury retrograde continues to keep misunderstandings in play. Wait until next week to try and clear things up. Meanwhile, Saturn and Neptune continue their opposition. Reality takes it swing at your fantasies.

Common Sense Isn't So Common

With Sun, Mercury & Uranus in the sign of Pisces, expect some emotional backlash from the previous week. Just when you think people are willing to play along with you…you find that they have their own game in play. It really doesn’t matter as long as they help you toward your goal. Unfortunately, this isn’t always a conscious choice but an unconscious one.

Jupiter square Uranus keeps you working on expansion. But this kind of expansion is atypical for you. You are not trying to win a popularity contest but rather to put your ideas to work. Others may find your thinking is useful as well. In any event, this is not a week where compromise is well received.

Mars is moving out of Capricorn and into Aquarius so there will be a strong emphasis on communication. Make sure your words are clear, at least in your own mind. When they fall on the ears of others there may be some confusion.

Direct your heart and mind toward the end game. Just like chess, you must look a few moves ahead. If you can see the whole game ahead, you gain confidence.

Patience is the Only Virtue

Unexpected news from abroad shapes the economy for the coming week. Foreign markets are spiraling up and down waiting for a definitive line of action. The Sun in Aquarius is sextile to Pluto in Sagittarius. Underground communication is abuzz.
Mercury, Moon & Uranus are conjunct in the sign of Pisces. Masterminds are at work especially in the fields of television and computers.

Expanding horizons are beginning to create some anxiety with regard to which positions to lock in. Clarity is slow in developing and may not arrive in time. Reduce your downside exposure and stick to the conservative. It is best not to get greedy. Attempt to curb wild swings in your actions. Try to remain calm.

Venus square Pluto puts a drain on resources. This is a temporary situation so try to circumvent any wasteful tendencies that will prolong your suffering. Mars in Capricorn is sextile Venus in Pisces. This aspect leads to harmonious personal interactions with fellow workers. They are willing to play along with you.

Tolerance is needed to negotiate important terms of contracts. You should delay putting anything in writing until you feel confident that your terms can be met. No one is trying to outsmart you, but don’t outsmart yourself.

Strong Emotions Require Strong Medicine

This week is overflowing with emotional content. With Venus, Uranus & Mercury conjunct in the sign of Pisces, we find ourselves focusing on the ephemeral. People around us seem empathetic and able to understand our plight. At the same time, some may be sizing up our vulnerabilities.

Energetic Mars sends a sextile aspect to Venus giving our emotional life a boost. Meanwhile, the Sun conjunct Neptune in Aquarius brings a kaleidoscope of feelings into the conscious. You can almost visualize the different tones of feeling as a colorful combination of emotions. Enjoy the show!

The Moon begins the week in Sagittarius, which gives this week an adventurous tone. Good times begin with our ability to expand our social contacts. Take time out and listen carefully to your inner voice. It will keep you on target. Saturn opposes the Sun and Neptune so stay tuned for some changing circumstances. The urge to pull back is strong.

Be vigilant so that you don’t miss an opportunity that may come from an unknown source.

Horn of Plenty

Mercury, Venus and Uranus are currently in the sign of Pisces. Pisces is a water sign and water signs tend to distort the facts. Nevertheless, on the surface all is well. Things are moving along as planned. Cooperation is readily available from multiple sources. Unexpected news comes from a distance and this sets your mind at ease.

Jupiter is in square to Uranus so make sure not to over estimate your financial resources. Plenty of monetary assistance is ahead but the timing can disturb the balance of fixed obligations. Mars sextile to Uranus gives an extra jolt to professional matters and results are imminent. Hidden matters that have been in the closet suddenly make an unexpected appearance.

The Sun conjunct Neptune in Aquarius keeps communication flowing but fuzzy. Clarity will come as the week progresses. Possible last minute changes may be required to offset imbalances of quantity and quality. Markets are shifting unpredictably in the coming months. Seek refuge in safe havens or just pull the covers over your head and stay warm.

Higher influences are at work.

Time is the Best Story Teller of All

With the Sun, Mercury & Neptune in the sign of Aquarius, communication is freely flowing. Old gossip is being rehashed by the masses. Still many questions remain unanswered. Venus enters the sign of Pisces where Venus is exalted. This puts a kind and compassionate approach to digging out the hidden facts.

Expansion takes place in an erratic way. You feel exuberant one moment and angst the next. Saturn continues to be retrograde in Leo and this gives pause to the meaning of discipline. Re-examine your previous thinking and make sure that you are in line with your goals. During this retrograde period many of your mental kinks can be worked through. Allow children to serve as your example.

Mars in Capricorn continues to keep your energy level high. Your momentum is building and you should have some positive results soon. Your power base expands to meet the demands that are now put upon you by those in your immediate environment. Find a way to get even without harming yourself.

Softening the Mark

Everything seems to be running smoothly after such a long patch of delays and reversals. Your hopes and wishes are within your grasp. Those around you seem to be helping you through all the loopholes. What could possibly be better than this? You’ve got lots of energy too.

Your social scene is getting very active. You are the person they want at their party, the go to person when ideas are being bantered about. Inspiration is ebbing and flowing without much effort and you feel focused on getting all of the loose ends tied up. Once you have all the details taken care of you can move on to the big picture. Astrology is about synthesis more than analysis, so be sure that what you put together withstands the test of reality.

Money generated through a business venture could be available to you at this time. Don’t take irrational chances but invest it in something that will pay dividends in the future. Also, it is easy to over intellectualize the situations that you are currently facing. Try to use your intuition as it will point you in the right direction.

What you achieve in the right way will be a source of happiness and will be maintained.

Good or Bad the Child Has to Eat

Now that you have planned your work, you can work your plan. Venus and Neptune in Aquarius provide innovative ideas for the future. Mercury will be moving into Aquarius this week as well, so take some creative license when it comes to interesting friends and colleagues in joining you in your venture.

The fiery Sagittarian trio of Mars, Jupiter and Pluto are set to give you the push you need to implement your plan. Don’t hesitate, take the plunge. Good results are guaranteed. The Sun in Capricorn keeps you on a steady course and Saturn retrograde in Leo doesn’t allow you to get too carried away.

Finally you start to feel a tempo in what you are trying to accomplish. The last few weeks have been a real grind, now you feel as if you are in your own element. Progress advances with less stress. The Moon is Scorpio does help you keep your cards close to your vest. There is a saying, “I keep my friends close and my enemies closer”. No worries, you are on the right path.

The Iron Hand in the Velvet Glove

Objectivity got a lot of people into a lot of trouble.  But thanks to the Sun and Mercury in Capricorn we can turn for a moment toward subjectivity.  Perhaps a little self evaluation will help guide us through the bumpy road ahead.  This week is filled with more bulldozing from status seeking bosses and ambitious co-workers.  This behavior tends to put everyone on edge.  Don’t be intimidated.

Mars conjunct Pluto in Sagittarius brings a final disposition to a long standing problem.  A creative solution is in the making.  Again higher influences play a part in shielding you from the helpful and the hurtful.  Work hard to consciously create circumstances, continue to be optimistic and remember that this life is somewhat of our own making.

Creative ideas begin to flow in the coming months.  Take a good look at your current situation and dispose of the ideas and goals that no longer serve your purpose.  Try entertainment as a means of deflecting anxiety.  This will be a big seller in the near future as the economy cools and politics heats up.  

Go for the Gold!
