Horoscope

February 28 - March 5, 2008

Heavenly Round Up: This is the time to make the most of your recovered momentum. You were on your way in autumn, and then you got yourself into a snarl of words and actions — the likes of which is rarely seen. But you’re back on track and making time the old fashioned way. Use your increased sensitivity to get to the heart of the matter. There’s a meal involved, and a point of family pride. Is it your family’s baggage that stands between you and your heart’s desire?

Aries: You’ve been thinking again, and that can lead to feeling. And that can lead to action. You’ve had your hands tied by the confluence of events, but now the good-sportsman-of-the-year award has been handed out, and no one’s looking. Do what you have to do. Ask aloud.

Taurus: You coulda’ been a contender. You might still be one. You only have to choose to take the high ground a ram that sentimental load of codswallup right back into the aperture from which it came. You would be the first to feel squidgey if the deal weren’t kosher. Relax.

Gemini: It’s not the initiative that’s passing from your grasp — it’s just not your turn to stand on the frontline anymore. Regroup and remember that as you reassess what else you might consider and where else might give you the vantage point you require to feel informed.

Cancer: It’s your turn. You could turn into the dynamo you’ve been before. You could rise to the occasion and really set them back on their heels. And if you can, you will. It’s not that you lack courage-or motivation. You just need to feel a little more centered, and then Bam!

Leo: Is it what you want for yourself — or are you covering for someone who’s so ”helpless” that they can’t manage alone? You may have run to the rescue of a false-alarm. Try to recall that not every distress call is what it seems. Some of them are only Darwinian adaptations.

Virgo: Is this the way it has to be? Have you got that millstone affixed to your person forever? You’ll find your troubles melt away like clouds after the storm is spent. You’ll see more than light at the end of the tunnel — you’ll see that you’ve managed to get somewhere over the rainbow. You can’t go there alone. Bring a few friends on Friday.

Libra: Get to the point. And then take a breath. The situation has changed. Maybe even for the better. You can work the message you want into the crowd. You can massage the context to give it more oomph as necessary. Don’t be afraid to use your strategic gifts well.

Scorpio: You can let go now. You’ve been trying too hard, running the Red Queen’s race. At this point, you don’t have much farther to go. And you’re closer than you think to your ultimate objective. Don’t be surprised at how quickly things move. Don’t stem the tide, yet.

Sagittarius: The weight has been lifted. The regret has been dissolved in blood, sweat and tears. You’re ready to go forward and stop living with the details of your past actions. Now that you have a clean slate, where are you going to go — and what will you do there? Reflect.

Capricorn: Life expands. Life contracts. It’s like the beating of the heart. Just now, you’re shifting from a contraction mode. Don’t let the opportunities that arise pass you by just because you’re surprised by the range of your options. These are real, and it’s not Christmas.

Aquarius: You’ve been dealing with the external and the superficial. Now it’s time to have a look at matters internal and profound. You’ll know what you know, when you’re ready to know it. But will you be able to act on that knowledge? You have the courage, the technology.

Pisces: It’s easier done than said. Let your intuition wash through your awareness. It will have answers to questions you haven’t been able to shape. This fresh perspective allows you to make choices based primarily on your feelings, and not the thinkings of others. Go there.

Horoscope

February 21-27, 2008

Heavenly Round Up: Don’t come up too fast, or you’ll get the bends. Let the nitrogen rebalance in your bloodstream first. You’ve been down in the depths for quite a while now. The sights were lovely, and hard to interpret. The life-forms were diversely well-adapted to their chosen environments. While you can’t live there, you can learn from your visit. You can make yourself more able to live successfully in your chosen environment. Set your sights on evolution. Once you’ve stepped back into the ring, make sure your crew has your back.

Aries: You’re looking, but you’re not sure what you’re seeing. There’s something so unusual in your line of vision that it’s got you distracted. What if you open your ears to this new wonder? What might you hear to your advantage? You don’t have to believe in unicorns now.

Taurus: It might have started as a penalty or a punishment, but it’s become routine, and one of which you’re rightfully proud. You have the discipline to see this through. You have the focus to make it the best of all possible solutions. You’re good to go, and so’s the initiative.

Gemini: Your head might be screwed on nice and tight, but you could adjust some of the other features in your receptors to get the most out of those sensory inputs. Actually, you’re not a robot yet. You may need to take a deep breath to remind yourself. Go for warm blood.

Cancer: Is it a sign of the times? Are there omens all around us, waiting to be noticed to bring untold futures into manifestation? Sure. That’s one way to look at it. Happily there is no one right answer. You can have what you want if you’re brave enough to reach out and grab.

Leo: You weren’t wrong before. And you’re not invincibly right now. Misunderstood? These things will happen. Don’t hold a grudge. It was an accident. Now you can get on with being Wonderful all over again. You’ve got the technology to forge ahead and break new ground.

Virgo: You’re doing just fine, and all those necessary elements will fall, swirl or tumble out right into place. Act like the conductor, and you’ll be accorded the status you need to cut through the crap and get the show on the road. The delay reveals a better option ahead.

Libra: It’s a sensation at the back of your head, as though someone were watching you. In fact, you’re watching yourself. But you’re not the only observer. So make sure you’re camera ready and you’ll be pleased with what happens next. An old crony reconnects on Saturday.

Scorpio: It might not be exactly what you want, but it will do for now. Don’t let on that you ‘get’ the logic behind the restriction. You have that diva reputation to uphold, and you wouldn’t want to disappoint your fan club. Or would you? Make a fresh start on Friday.

Sagittarius: You haven’t been singled out. Rather, you’ve been included in the fun and games. Will you join with a whole heart, or will you keep yourself sidelined? You already know whether or not you’re fit to get back in the game. Will you let yourself be persuaded?

Capricorn: It’s partly who you know that could be your best resource. Equally, it’s also what you’re prepared to understand from the other side of the negotiating fence. Use your ability to backburner your own wants in order to find out what the larger picture requires. Meditate.

Aquarius: If you could have it all your own way, you’d be dictator in an emerging economy. You don’t, and you can’t — so you must still be just folks. That’s all to the good, but you have charisma to burn. So try pushing for more than what the mere mortals settle for. You can win.

Pisces: You’re ready to accept the challenge. Is the challenge ready for you? Timing isn’t everything, but it could be the majority portion. Watch the portents carefully. You’ll know when to jump into the cosmic spin of things in order to come out holding Spring in your hands.

Horoscope

February 14-20, 2008

Heavenly Round Up: It’s a long, long trail a-windin’, and sometimes it seems to be twisting back on itself, so that you’re going forward by retracing your steps — only an octave off. Embrace this unusual sensation. Remember this confusing time. There are seeds being planted here and now that will bear strange fruit, and over a timespan so attenuated that its roots will be all but lost by the time you hit the harvest part of the cycle. Give yourself the gift of patience. A rose for your thoughts?

Aries: You’re not intimidated, though no one thought you were. You’re not cowed, though there’s nothing to frighten that anyone else can see. Are you spooking yourself with scary stories at bedtime? Layoff the late-night snacks. Layoff the fanciful plots. Lay on good sense.

Taurus: Are you there yet? You’ve worked long and hard to make the primary objectives sing out with a will and in key. Practice is helpful. Support is indispensable. Don’t forget to thank all the little people, before they become cranky and take back the gifts. Share with a stranger.

Gemini: Give it the old college try. What? You dropped out? Well, that may be your version of a best effort — because you realized in time what wasn’t right for you and got out whilst the getting was good. Walking away from what doesn’t work is difficult, brave and — yes — good.

Cancer: It’s an up and down sort of a time. You’re doing better in some areas, but you’re still not so hot in others. Consider your support systems separately. You have needs that aren’t being filled. What can bring you back up to 100 percent? Which of your cronies will listen clearly?

Leo: It’s not the temperature, it’s the time. Don’t confuse your limiting factors when you try to sort out what’s got you by the short-and-curlies and what your realistic options for solving your dilemma could be. Don’t be in a hurry. There are no short-cuts here, only work and joy.

Virgo: Where have you been hiding yourself? And what did you learn while you were out of circulation? Everyone is abuzz. Take advantage of the interest to share what matters and to get the rest of the word out. You don’t have to be shy; this has the hallmarks of a winner.

Libra: It isn’t what you signed on for, but it turns out to be close enough as makes no nevermind. Don’t think of it as settling. You’re adjusting your expectations to meet the exigencies of reality. Be proud of yourself for your newfound flexibility. Don’t spend too much shopping.

Scorpio: You’re walking the talk, and you’re proud of yourself. Are you the only one who knows how brightly you’ve been teaching your light to shine? You may be on some kind of delay in getting the press releases posted, but that doesn’t make your accomplishments less.

Sagittarius: It’s not a bird. It’s not a plane. It’s your freedom soaring overhead while you labor away in the pits to make your happily ever after come true. Be careful. Don’t sell yourself short or any other form of cheaply. You’ve got what it takes, and you’re ready to go.

Capricorn: Look for the silver lining. Precious metals are still trading up. You could scrape that micron of silver off the condensate, but things aren’t that desperate. Enjoy the cloud and the lining, both. Then get re-centered with your Zen self and a path will reveal itself to you.

Aquarius: Simplicity is easy to say, and hard to enact. What can you do to be simplifying? Re-examine your assumptions. Reconsider your connectivity. Remap your flow charts. There’s every possibility you could locate an amazing means of reorganizing to win accolades. Work.

Pisces: You didn’t want to take the easy path. And you haven’t. But are you satisfied with what you’ve achieved so far? Is this what you really want? Or is it something you’ve gotten into the habit of doing? Yes, it’s complicated but that doesn’t change the actual truth, right?

Horoscope

February 7 - 13, 2008

Heavenly Round Up: Ideologies are as ideologies do. Your dreams are in danger of crystallizing around you to form a sort of self-made cage, as brittle as it is complete. Is this what you want from your hopes and aspirations? Is this what logic dictates? Depose that inner dictator of a voice. Retire those worn out tapes and emotional feedback loops. You have other, more wholesome fish to fry. You may even find yourself a mess of new desires and beliefs to keep you company along the way.

Aries: Is it the times that are lean, or is it merely the lens through which you view the present? It’s hard to tell, one way or the other. But if you plan for self-generated, self-hewed prosperity, you’ll find that good fortune comes when called for, and will even wear your leash.

Taurus: Look at what you’ve made! You’ve put a lot of yourself into it. And you should be as proud as punch with yourself. Now you need to step back, and once you focus more broadly, you’ll be able to see the wider applications for your oeuvre. Give yourself a treat on Tuesday.

Gemini: Look both ways, forward and backward, before you choose what you’ll take with you into and through the present. You’ll need the two faces with which the Twins are blessed in order to speak and listen to maximum effect. Four eyes are better than two, get new glasses.

Cancer: Walk from here to eternity. You’ll enjoy the view along the way, and you’ll learn a lot about your pace and stamina. Mind where the path gets so narrow. You’ll want to retain a sense of where you’re going — as well as a chance to share what you’ve done with your honey.

Leo: It’s like dancing with a mirror. The disorientation comes when you think too hard about how the reflection gets that way. Let go of the stuff in your frontal lobes, and try sinking into the desirable actions. You’ll see that you can have it all by spreading it around. Call a Taurus.

Virgo: It’s not destiny so much as it is the cumulative and unavoidable collection of layered experiences. You get what you expect in part, and in part you make your expectations real through your beliefs. What would you rather believe and have come true? Who will you tell?

Libra: You feel special. You’re lit with dark awareness. It’s the kind of thing that you can’t quite articulate, and yet there it is in the corner of your mind’s eye. Let that thought gestate a while longer. It’s still developing at a furious rate. You’ll know when it’s time to share.

Scorpio: It’s hard times all the way around. Nothing’s easy. Nothing’s cut and dried. And why on earth are you allowing all that negative messaging to get to you? You’re smarter and also tougher than that. Suck it up; it’s time to deal with what’s on your plate. Count your victories.

Sagittarius: What can you hear as you listen so intently? What news? What piece or set of information that may radically alter your perception of possible reality? Are you ready for the implications to sink in? You’d be responsible for what else might happen if you say yes now.

Capricorn: Don’t believe the hype. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. There’s a fresh wave of flim-flam in the air. You’re too smart to fall for that easy line. You’re way too practical to believe in that kind of a fairy tale short-cut. Give yourself props for going all out.

Aquarius: The consequences of those actions put into motion now are hard to fathom, and may take a while to play out. Happily, it’s all good if you acted for the greater good and your individual desire to see the world a better place by taking care of your own slice of it. Laugh.

Pisces: Do what you need to do. You heard the truth while you slept, and you may trust in the usefulness of what you learned then and there. Even if it was all in your imagination, the ideas themselves are sterling in their character. You’ll do best to wait until Monday for the talk.
