All Signs
My daily horoscopes have an All Signs warning each day. Some people think I'm encouraging shopping. Not so Monsieur le Pussycat! This is not at all the point of the warning. Here's the story: every two and a half days, the Moon makes a shift (which varies from minutes to hours to a whole day.) During that shift, whatever we initiate tends NOT to fulfill its purpose, desire, objective. Translation: you buy something intending to use it; but soon, you don't like the fit of the shoes, or the clothes you bought just hang in the closet, or worse - the house you bought, you never really like! The "All Clear" to shop just means the 'curse' is not present. However, you're still subject to other whims: let the buyer beware. Oh well - onward into the fog. "Is that you, Elvira?"
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You're dealing with setbacks and reversals regarding travel, foreign countries, publishing, the media, higher education and legal matters because this Mercury retrograde hits you there! Just take this in your warrior stride. Expect to run into people from your past related to these areas as well. Meanwhile, back at the bank, you're counting your shekels. This is the time to wrap up insurance matters and old business connected with shared property. You also have to come to terms with the values of others which you (frankly) do not share. Be open to some kind of compromise. This art of compromise is maturity not defeat. (But this kind of maturity is like playing golf in Scotland: the rough is rougher!)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Things are challenging on the home front. You want to do something but somehow your efforts are blocked by parents or family obligations or some other limitation or a domestic authority. (Landlord?) First off, your best choice right now is to finish old business on your plate connected with shared property, insurance matters, debt, taxes, inheritances, and differing values. This is a fact. However, don't throw your weight around in other matters. This Full Moon tests partnerships and close relationships. Furthermore, external obstacles definitely arise now. Result? You gotta know when to hold and when to fold. Tread carefully. Test before you step.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This week you might find yourself worried about something and you're not even sure what it is! This could be stuff from your past and your subconscious. Contact with ex-partners, old friends and past loves might stir up these feelings. Even though you're keen to improve your life and get better organized, you encounter considerable obstacles now. Some relate to the government and large institutions; other relate to self-doubt and not believing in your abilities. These are self-created limitations! Remember: you will never again be as young as you are today. Think back to when you doubted yourself before; yet now in hindsight, you see now how great you were then! (Insidious, isn't it?) "Argue for your limitations and they're yours."
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
In the coming week, we have a Full Moon, Mercury retrograde in full force, and a harsh aspect between Mars and Saturn. Fortunately, this doesn't mean you can't have a good time. (When it rains, you carry an umbrella. No worries.) The Full Moon does add stress to relationships with friends and groups. (Something comes to a head.) Disagreements about possessions or how to spend money or something related to your job are likely. Don't get excited about errors, delays and mixed up communications at work - they're inevitable because of the Mercury retrograde in effect right now. Just cope as best you can. (You're an extremely resourceful sign. You'll be fine.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A Full Moon and a Mars/Saturn square indicate you'll encounter opposition for your ideas this week. This opposition could be from bosses, VIPs or parents. You have ambitious plans; yet lots of stuff gets in the way. Your only recourse is to be patient. Take things one step at a time. If you feel overwhelmed with 'busyness' - remember this is just a state of mind. The truth of the matter is no matter what you're doing, you only have the present moment at hand. Each of us has 24 hours a day, but only the moment at hand to deal with. Just focus on the moment at hand, and make it as rich and productive as possible. That's all you can do anyway. (Or else you're living in the present, tense.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This week you encounter difficulties related to travel, foreign countries, higher education, publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Yikes! That covers a lot. Your efforts to assert yourself in these areas are blocked. One reason might be a fear of failure. (Especially a fear of public failure!) Remember that you have awfully high standards for yourself and others. As you deal with old family members and past family business, don't judge yourself. We're all frail mortals grappling on this human plain (or brane.) The definition of maturity is knowing how to accept your limitations and work to the best of your ability within them.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Pay your phone bill, and your electricity bill. Fix your car. Delays and interruptions to ground transportation and communications are where you'll feel this Mercury retrograde. It's also an accident-prone time for you; therefore, move with care and precision. Do everything a bit more slowly. Don't rush. Don't drive too fast. Another area where you might encounter obstacles or opposition has to do with shared possessions and dealing with friends or groups. You might be angry with someone yet you feel you can't express your anger because it sounds too petty (or you hate to rock the boat.) Don't worry. A closed mouth gathers no feet.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You must be patient with partners and friends. The impending Full Moon is directly opposite your sign indicating stress with those closest to you. Difficulties with parents, bosses and authority figures also exist. Whatever you attempt in any direction is blocked! In addition, old money problems are back again. Let's do a quick recap: difficulties with partners and close friends are going to require extra patience on your part until February of 2006. Factoid. (It's a Mars thang.) Just accept this and move on. The current difficulty dealing with parents and bosses is very brief. Peanuts! Meanwhile, lucky Jupiter is in your sign for the next year. Relax!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Mercury is retrograde now in your sign. This makes you forgetful, accident-prone, clumsy, and caught in a web of confusion in all your communications. People from your past (especially ex-partners) are back on the scene. It's a bit unnerving. However, this is an excellent time to finish old business and anything left on your plate. Opposition to something you're trying to do at work is unavoidable. Coworkers or management block your plans. This paralyzes you and leaves you doing a slow boil. Yet you feel you can't complain. Oy! You're caught between a rock and a hard place. Fortunately, this paralysis is temporary. (When the smoke alarm goes off -- dinner's ready.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Difficulties with children, or the education, care and responsibilities for children are likely. Similarly, problems with romance, creative projects, the arts, the hospitality industry, vacations, professional sports and work related to show business are also likely. Shee! Is there no justice? You have to learn how to work with the values of others even if you don't agree with those values. You might also have to compromise about shared possessions. You can't get your own way. Actually, this is just current, temporary stuff. It's not a big deal. None of this affects the increased popularity you're going to enjoy this year. Right?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Tuesday's Full Moon presents the classic tug o' war between career, bosses and parents versus the demands and obligations of your home and family. It seems like one has to suffer to make the other work. (This might just be the case.) Sometimes choices are difficult. Chaos and conflict at home puts a stress on partnerships. The difficulty is that you feel you can't defend yourself or state your side of things. You're forced to silently gnash your teeth. Meanwhile, old friends are back on the scene. This could be fun -- or not. Be patient with family members now. This heavy stuff blows over pretty soon. Ira furor bevis est. Anger is brief madness.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're doing a slow boil right now. Relations with siblings, daily colleagues, relatives and neighbours are dicey -- yet you feel you cannot say anything. All you can do is pace the floor. (But you are in an argumentative mood. Admit it.) This is why you need to be patient. If you lose your temper talking to others, you'll regret it, and you'll feel sheepish afterwards. That's not the solution. Perhaps encountering old bosses or old business with parents makes you a bit raw right now? This is understandable. Nevertheless, don't take it out on others. Be the voice of reason. You get more flies with honey than with vinegar, right? (But then, who wants flies?)
