Horoscope
March 26 - April 1, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: Is it Fate? Necessity? Something you ate? You’re all fired up, but there’s something in the atmosphere you just can’t digest. How can you interact differently with your environment such that you find yourself nurtured and supported? How can you inspire yourself and others to be the best of all possible, reasonable, rational souls? What will you plant in this season of fecundation to make yourself happy at harvest time? You’ll have to be a lot more intentional than the lilies of the field.
Aries: Hold your water, and your ire. It’s easier to be irritated than it is to unpick the problem and go through the tedium of creating a viable solution. It’s easier to reject the imperfect than it is to temper and polish work in progress. Recreate the dream.
Taurus: When you first arrived, you were ready to put your whole self into it. Now you’re ready to throw up your hands and walk away — in a dignified manner, of course. But the easy way out doesn’t change anything. Choose to be powerful. Choose to act.
Gemini: If you could do more, you would. Not because it needs doing especially; but because you need to be distracted. What are you avoiding? What information are you drowning out? What is creating so much angst and discomfort? Reassess and face the music with certainty.
Cancer: It does indeed walk, quack and feel like a duck. But you don’t have to take anybody’s word for that. Hands-on will take you farther and with less circling back to confirm the known. You receive unexpected news concerning investments. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Leo: Hands down, you’re still the contender. If you want, you might grow a second, auxiliary spine–since there’s going to be more boat-rocking and hullaballoo on account of your insistence than you’ve anticipated. This is a season of storms and shifts. Embrace it.
Virgo: It’s not your fault. It’s not your problem. It’s not going on your permanent record. But you’re still the best hope for a ready solution and a determined approach to getting the job done. Will you pitch in? Will you turn your back? What does your gut tell you?
Libra: You’ve gone to the well and back, again and again. You vowed to stop carrying water for the unworthy, but you haven’t stuck by that inner promise. Was the lure of the ideal so strong? Was your desire for reason so compelling? Give it another go.

Scorpio: Since you’ve dug yourself such a nice, firm rut, you might think of making it serve a different purpose. You could grow things in it, after you augment the soil. You could consider it the side of a foundation for a new direction. But will you be so brave?
Sagittarius: If you listen closely, you can hear the world shifting inexorably and eternally away from what has gone before. That’s okay with you. You weren’t all that sold on the old version of reality. But since the manifest is what you make of it, what will you make?
Capricorn: Destiny, obligation, desire and compulsion weave a strong web. You’re practical to the nth degree, but can you resist the lure of the tried and true? ”Better the devil you know” is safe, but it’s not a best practice point of view. Reconsider your options Sunday.
Aquarius: Here’s a conundrum coming at you. But that’s just peachy; it’s one in a string both behind and before you. These koans of daily life help you develop perspective and compassion. Let the puzzle of reality both enhance and broaden your mind.
Pisces: It’s all hands on deck. Look, but do touch. Get in the dirt and roll for all you’re worth. You’ve kept a dainty, discreet distance for long enough. Now it’s time to go for what you know until you’re immersed in everything. Reality? You’re soaking in it! Decamp.

Horoscope
March 19-25, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: It’s time to find new appreciation for old role models. It’s time to step up to the plate, stop passing the buck and face the music. It’s time to holla’ back when your conscience gives you the eye from across a crowded room. Ready to be all that you can be? Ready to assume the mantle of responsibility without laying claim to spurious authority? Can you resist the urge to infuse your actions with the tedious fruit of ideological bombast? Try harder on Saturday.
Aries: It’s boring to do the right thing sometimes. It’s annoying to cave in to common sense and long-term considerations. It’s more fun to rush around righting wrongs with a swing of the sword and looking good in a shiny suit of armor. Is it time to buckle down?
Taurus: You knew there was more going on than met the eye. You knew you’d be the broad back onto which more than anybody’s fair share of the grunt work might fall. You knew the ideals might overtake reality. There’s a lot to do and no time to whine.
Gemini: Can you make this fun for yourself? Can you help others to find the trees in the forest and figure out what their presence means? Can you put yourself on a small pedestal and use your blarney to take a leadership position? Hit ’em where they ain’t!
Cancer: Walk tall. You’ve been called on to demonstrate what real moral behavior looks like. You’re rising to the occasion like a well-tended bread dough–you almost can’t help it. Let the ethical imperative continue to roll you down the hill of external opinion. Be sweet.
Leo: It’s what you want. It’s what you worked for. It’s what it is. And yet, you’re having second thoughts. You’re looking around and finding you may be on your own if you don’t adjust the course of your trajectory. You’re in a good position to choose for the future.
Virgo: You are the keystone. You are the linchpin. You are the piece that solves the puzzle and completes the strategy. You are these things because you are stable. You are attending to details. You are capable of mentoring others into capability. Say yes, again.
Libra: Don’t believe the hype — even when it’s rational and makes good sense. The facts are the facts, and then there’s the human element. When you factor in imagination and unpredictable applications with unexpected outcomes, you have something like a real, live miracle.

Scorpio: You went there. You did that. You’ve come close to another form of attrition. Don’t run too lightly from reality: there are so many who still need your input and your participation. Get buy-in for a radical departure with a big smile and lots of patience.
Sagittarius: Once you committed to changing the course of your ship of state, did you plan any further? You may be required to explain your choices. You may be required to revisit your decisions. You may be required to make some tough judgments. You have the technology.
Capricorn: You didn’t mean it at the time, but now it’s a permanent part of your daily life. You couldn’t avoid it the first time, and now it’s part of your infrastructure. You wouldn’t have given it a second thought, now you can think of nothing else. Is it good for you?
Aquarius: You can bring down the words from the mountaintop. You can wave your arms when you orate. You can threaten sacred retribution. But can you bring yourself to follow through when others don’t? Ideals wage an inner war with compassion. Back ’em carefully.
Pisces: It isn’t the world in which you wanted to launch your hopes. It isn’t the environment in which you wished to flourish. It isn’t the time in which you’d expected to triumph. But you can be present and active and overcome any possible difficulty. You just go.

Horoscope
March 12-18, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: ”It is what it is” — easy to say, so you wouldn’t have to stop and look and listen and act and react. Just shrug your shoulders and wander off. Simple, yes. The best of all possible analyses and responses, no. Yeah, it’s been a long, strange trip. Yeah, it’s not getting anything but tougher up front. Has it occurred to you that you’ve been developing the skills to make the most of surviving these interesting times? Could you share your inner wealth?
Aries: Decision is easy. Waiting on the evidence and taking time to understand it is much more difficult. There have been hold ups. There have been screw-ups. There have been entire comedies of errors. Get down to brass tacks, but take someone worthy with you. Exhale.
Taurus: Time and tide have been riding your ass like rented burros up and down the edges of the Grand Canyon. The pressure has been enormous. But under such pressure, systems are developed and refined. Expectations are heightened, or adjusted for reality. Act.
Gemini: You used to want to so badly. But now you better understand the price you would have to pay to have it your way. You can back away gracefully. It might be to your advantage. You could also reframe your condition and your conditions to better interface with reality.
Cancer: You have allies where you least expect them and thought you didn’t want them. You have choices you hoped you would never have to make. You have a do-list which challenges your ethical structure and your moral beliefs. You’re ready for you close up: Smile!
Leo: If you had known what scaling this particular wall might involve, would you have trained harder? Would you have strategized more thoroughly? Would you have chosen a different path? It’s too late to back out, but it’s not too late to forgive yourself for the challenge. Sum up.
Virgo: Stop beating yourself up. You did what you could with what you had. You’ve been starved for resources and shorted of assistance and commanded to cut down the forest with a herring. It’s not fair, but it does teach you lots about personal courage and perseverance.
Libra: You want to in the worst way. You want not to so that the boat stays un-rocked. You could make up your mind in a hurry and repent at leisure. You could sit on the fence until you grew moss on your backside. It’s more about conduct than it is outcomes.

CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS |
Scorpio: Is it destiny? Is it coincidence? Is it worth thinking about to the nth degree? Go with the flow until you find the point of blockage, then worm your way through and lead everyone on to victory. The spurt of generosity will serve you in times to come.
Sagittarius: Once you were stainless and shining. Once you were peerless and heroic. Once you were perfect in your stasis. Now you’re smirched, tired and busy. Would you give it up and go back? Bravery is magnified by humble circumstances. Give without strings.
Capricorn: Desire wears more masks than an entire carnival parade. You run into yours and you’re both incognito. What are you hiding from? The future is different, but not really worse, than right now. Gird up your loins, buckle your seatbelt, and batten your hatches.
Aquarius: You’ve seen it all–or so you used to think. You know everyone worth knowing, but you’ve met a lot of interesting people just lately. You’re where you want to be, but you have a wander-lust that can’t be tamed. How will you adjust your preconceptions?
Pisces: Your dreams kick into high gear and you almost don’t want to wake up. Yes, it’s exciting in your heart of hearts. Yes, the drama is contained like a play performed only for you by you. Yes, the information is valuable. But you still have to wake up and live!

Horoscope
March 5-11, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: Ideology comes with exigencies of thought, word and deed not seen in other models of existence. Are you in a rut of understanding? Has your world view narrowed in the light of revealed policy? Can you find a shred of genuine compassion to foster, share and propagate through the hard times ahead? The milk of human kindness may have to be reconstituted from dried guilt and hydrolyzed severity, but the potential for fulfillment never truly goes away however much it may shrink or shift.
Aries: Look around in those funky, new rose-colored glasses. Limit the spectrum of your perceptions in order to maintain your focus. Necessity is a mother, but you’ll be proud of your invention once you see it in action in the field. Let your life speak louder than your words.
Taurus: You’re trapped by all the purists with their one interpretive paradigm versus your ongoing struggle with the morphing structures and personnel surrounding you on the ground. Give yourself props for getting more done than your average bear. Wear pastel pinstripes.
Gemini: It’s one of those tedious verities, but there’s a point at which one goes off message because walking the talk is sometimes as boring as it can be. Can you do ”sincere” whilst reserving the core of the truth for your heart of hearts? It will be worth your while to try.
Cancer: You would rather be keeping an eye on the true long-term. At present you’re preoccupied with the hand-to-mouth nature of day-to-day existence. Is this what you signed up for? Is there no relief within the form? If not, it might be time to shed something outgrown.
Leo: Desire wears many faces. You want that long, cool regard to rest on you. You want that reasoned intellect and cautious candor to give their incomparable focus to you. It’s nice to want, but you’ve picked a concept, not an individual, to make your present idol. Consider.
Virgo: You aren’t surprised. It’s been uphill for so long you hardly know what level looks like anymore. Can you adjust in order to make the most of the difference while it lasts? Give yourself a pat on the back and get down to brass tacks, ASAP. Call that Aries on Tuesday.
Libra: Once upon a time you were able to make your way through the world one connection at a time. Now you’re under siege and trying to maximize your means of making contact through myriad media. Why not ask your inner eye to look at old questions with fresh vision? Reflect.

CAPRICORN AQUARIUS PISCES ARIES TAURUS GEMINI |
CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS |
Scorpio: There’re drawbacks to nearly all the proposals on the table. There’re caveats written into material you’re reviewing. There’re implicit threats in some of the conversations. But you’re the James Bond of daily life. You can survive this and more. Triumph over evil Friday.
Sagittarius: It’s a kind of a puzzle. It’s a kind of a literary mystery. It’s kind of one of those natural tests for your ethics and conduct. Don’t be surprised at the many ways you find to rise to the occasion. Be as gracious as you can to your conquered foes. Wear humility.
Capricorn: Something’s out of joint in the times. Something just doesn’t fit the allocated slot in your array of answers. Sometimes it behooves you to reassess the evidence. What you’ll find then throws new light on old solutions. Is it time to take up a different rhythm?
Aquarius: You’re in the spotlight, but you’re operating behind the scenes. You’re the subject of the matter, and its biographer as well. You’re required to know the ins and the outs, but you’re expected to stay flexible in your loyalty. Don’t stress, learn to exhale before the weekend.
Pisces: It’s not always who you know. It’s not always being in the right place at the right time. It’s not always serendipity leading the next dance. But sometimes it is. You can grasp the matter with both hands and change the world in the space of a heartbeat. Stay real.
