All Signs
Mars is closesr to planet Earth than it's been for 60,000 years. But there's little mention of the fact that while this is happening, it is lined up with Uranus. This is an explosive combination! Mars rules fire, and Uranus rules electricity, sudden, unpredictable events technology, radio waves, computers and aviation. Small wonder we have energy outbursts creating upsets through electrical blackouts in the East, forest fires in the West and colossal computer viruses paralyzing airports, industries and e-mail. These two planets continue to hover in close degree until late October. Read on to see how this affects your sign. (And remember the password: "Sherbert lemon.")
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Bizarre events take place in your life now because Mars is your ruler. You're kissing cousins to all this excitement and explosive energy. This makes you impatient for recognition. You feel you're not getting credit for your efforts. That's why there's an undercurrent of vague irritation running through many of your activities. In turn, this frazzles you and makes you work against yourself. Then you create wrong impressions. Unconscious behavior patterns surface to defeat your purposes. Shee! And this is not just taking place within your own psyche. There might be people out there working behind the scenes to block your efforts. Holy dilemma! Your best option is to try to work alone as much as possible.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Physical group activity and intense interaction with others makes you more competitive than usual. You are suddenly very future-oriented. You want to work today for what you can achieve tomorrow. Furthermore, you see that what you want to achieve involves the cooperation of others. (Whether you like it or not.) Some of you will find your goals have suddenly changed. The old switcheroo! You're suddenly heading in a new direction. The trick is to find people you can work with and the right supportive environment. If you can swing this -- you can be unusually productive at this time. Major. (I kid you not.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Some of you feel you have just been hit by a load of bricks. You're working enormously hard to achieve something now. No holds barred. Furthermore, you need to call your own shots now. That's why you have to work as independently as possible. Because you are so gung ho, parents, bosses and even government officials or the police might try to do block your efforts. "You can't do that!" Your driving energy threatens others. Plus, you're acting like a maverick. You don't fit the mold. But you have great determination and perseverance to achieve what you want to do. Focus all this energy on home, family and your domestic scene. Clear up old business. Real estate looks rosy for the year to come.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You have a sudden desire to assert your own independence. It seems to be your only choice. It seems to be the thing to do. What others see as rebellion from the status quo -- you see as making a break for your own freedom. You have no choice. You've got to do it. Philosophical, metaphysical and religious ideas excite you now and support your actions. You might even seek new territories, new land. It's exciting to embrace bold, new ideas and beliefs systems. But for you, there is no choice. You had to do it. That's why life seems bigger and full of more possibilities. You are breaking free from all kinds of mind constraints.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Disputes, surprises, and sudden events force you to defend your turf. Expect conflict and quarrels about shared possessions, the joint ownership of things, estates and inheritances, and the responsibility for someone or something. You probably have to fight somebody for something -- money, property, whatever. This could represent a culmination of something that went before. After all, you're wrapping up things this year and moving on. In many ways, you're dismantling your world. (That's because something entirely new and different awaits you in 2005.) The thing to do is to make sure you know what you want. (Not what others think you should have.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Life is throwing you curve balls right now. Partners and people around you seem to act rashly and impulsively. You're not sure which way to jump. (Or duck.) It's as if you constantly have to prove yourself to others. Sure, you find it difficult to give in or compromise -- but hey! -- these people are being downright unreasonable. (And you're no sucker.) At least people are putting their cards on the table now. However, hearing others air their grievances is not fun. It puts you in the position of being the ogre. Oy vay. The trick is to harness this energy and work with it. Because there sure is a lot of energy floating around now. Oh yeah.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Two areas suddenly flare up in your life now: health matters and job related situations. In a way, this gives you two options. You can either fight stubbornly to maintain the status quo, or you can accept the changing circumstances and work to the best of your ability within these new parameters. The only predictable thing in life is change. (Check under your sofa cushions -- you'll see what I mean.) Don't fight change. Accept it intelligently and work with it. Identify your problems. Write them down. Decide how to attack each one economically and practically. The mental strain of indecision is what really drives you nuts. Remember: not to decide is to decide.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Conflict and increased responsibilities with children are likely. Parents should be extra vigilant because their children are under an accident-prone influence right now. Ironically, many accidents with children are related to the tension and irritation experienced by adults around them. (Kids literally pick up everything.) You want the independence and freedom to have fun and do your own thing now. That's fine. But you have to dovetail this impulse with the needs of the real world around you. Your desires are very strong. Spontaneous decisions for parties, romance and good times are likely. Self-denial is difficult. Do what you can and accept what you can't do. Cest la ive.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Unpredictable situations within your family sphere and your home scene keep you on your toes. Quite obviously, there is greater activity where you live now. This frenzied hustling and bustling could be due to residential moves, renovations, or visitors. This sets the stage for domestic strife. Disputes about property are also likely. You have to do something to stay calm and mellow. Your own peace of mind is your greatest ally. Travel, outdoor sports and activities, or delving into new studies are ideal ways to refocus your energy. You love to learn new things and see new places. Keep your mind as clear as you can because you are high viz now at work. Others look to you for leadership and guidance. (And you can provide this.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Some of the most casual, everyday encounters are suddenly exploding right in your face. This could take place as accidents through driving, cycling or walking -- or accidents that involve your mouth. ("Oops -- the words slipped out and I can't take them back.") That's because you identify very strongly with your ideas and your opinions now. When others disagree with you -- you take it as a personal affront. You suddenly defend something as if your life depended on it. Not wise. Actually, all this intense, mental energy can be put to good use through vigorous concentration and intellectual work. Your ability to concentrate on things is a fabulous now. Dig in and discover what you can do.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You feel rather touchy about financial matters. Disputes about money, the ownership of things, your personal possessions and your freedom to do what you want with them are highly possible now. Partly this is because you identify strongly with what you own. But you are not your possessions. They're just things. You are you -- and the most precious things about you are intangible: intelligence, compassion, humour, heroism. Your possessions are actually just a pile of rust waiting to happen. But you (along with all human beings) are a miracle. Remember: you never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul. When you leave this planet, the only thing you take with you is a collection of impulses. (What will they be?)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're willing to fight for your rights more than you usually do. Because of this, explosive exchanges with others have taken place or will take place in the immediate future. But these altercations get you nowhere. They only the leave you with egg on your face. (Which do you prefer ketchup or HP Sauce?) If your knee-jerk reaction to things makes you wince later, then it was not wise. If you act with discipline you'll have no regrets. If you do have regrets about your actions -- that's simply means you didn't act with discipline. (Head and heart -- the warrior riding the honeyed razor's edge.) You have lots of energy now. Use it to benefit yourself and others.
