March 2010

March is something of a Cosmic fairground. There’s the ‘Surprise, Surprise’ Uranus Ride which Venus, Mercury, the New Moon, and the Sun all take in turn this month. Then they indulge in the Essential Cardinal Chute of 0 degrees Aries, the It’s a Knock Out clash with Saturn, and the Pluto Bumper Car Fiasco, (which is also – heads up - the ride of choice for the Libran Full Moon aria of the 30th). What I is saying, yeh, is dat Stuff is Going to Happen this March. Uranus = change, Saturn = constriction, Pluto = transformation. Put it together and it’s a month for following the mantra, ‘If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, get out.’ And finally, no, you won’t get by with sitting it out this month. Mars, the little fiery upstart, is heading forwards ho on the 11th after sulking in the tea tent since mid-December. Some wise soul once said, ‘Life is like a wild tiger. You can either lay down and let it put its paw on your head, or you can jump on its back and ride.’ Let’s be brave for each other! It’s off to the ticket booth, people. This is the Year of the Tiger, after all. Roooaarrarr. Meow?


Aries
Where you need to be Sweeping Things Aside is in your 12th house of Fear. The cosmos says the more you put into it (the clearance) the more you’ll get out of it (feeling good about You). Where this will immediately pay dividends is in your close one to onesies of a bizniz or lovin’ nature. Been afraid to Ask for what you Want or stand up to the Bullies? Been too afraid to wear the Trousers? Not anymore, Bub. The rumbles begin as early as Monday the 8th and gather energy after the 11th. It’s all out on the ropes after the 21st and at its emotional crescendo by the 30th. Roooooar! FYI Go easy, Tiger, around the 13th – 15th when energy is at an annual low and paranoia at an annual high. This week: A light goes on in the darkness come Thursday and you can see where a lovin’ one to onesie can help/hinder you further. By the weekend a secret flirtation or a desire for chilun motivates your aspic.

Taurus
Wishes and Friendships are your guidebooks to the cosmic fairground of March. With Uranus at the helm until the 17th internet, digital, community, friends and netwhoring are areas where progress can be made. But this is Uranus Territory, so don’t anticipate progress in an orderly fashion. Ideas and exchanges out of leftfield are on the cards. Expect the unexpected and strike on new dreams around the 16th. By the 21st it’s time to embark on your annual downtime. In the coming month Venus, Mercury, and then the Sun pass through your 12th house of Meep! And you begin to feel that the stability of a relationship/finances/homelife isn’t easy to nail to a wall. It’s a necessary appraisal. Far reaching changes are calling your name, Bull, and you may need to give up something now to let those changes in. Work, health, and daily responsibilities feel like they are standing in the way. These will be more on-side during April. This week: ‘Tastic work opportunity through friends due on Thursday and over next weekend. It’s time to transform how you see yourself and present yourself to the World. Big Money/commissions can be part of the deal. Foreign eesa goodya.

Gemini
Connections overseas or through study/teaching, are turning your success stellar in March. You’re capable of changing tack in a flash so when Opportunity Knocks on the 4th, 8th, 16th, and 17th you’ll have the answers and the questions you need to harness the changing winds. The 4th and 8th concern the success of a love affair or creative project and lovers that link up with work. The 16th – 17th are more cerebral and usher in an exchange of ideas to break out of old habits and well worn ruts. What’s getting in the way of all this blossoming energy is (a) a nagging sense that you can’t be responsible AND play like a child/have fun/laugh like a drain and (b) 8th house detritus – the past, old hurts, big money burdens. But this is You we’re talking about and as planets move into your zone of wishes, friendships, and networking from mid-month you’ll begin to find ideas and solutions. The eclipses at the end of June and mid-July herald a financial culmination. Get the begging letters out now! This week: Love and success link mid-week with an overseas/studenty/long-term flavour. You’re ready to talk about this more fully Sunday – Monday the 7th & 8th.

Cancer
Crabs setting up home abroad or moving to study and broaden their internal horizons have the cosmic winds beneath their wings right about now. A galaxy of rocks are bunching up in the skies which govern these areas and as they connect with maverick Uranus, surprise opportunities to belong, commune, film, and broadcast your adventures are There for the Taking. Let these adventures and opportunities spur your sense of Success into new directions. All month and in to April you may need to negotiate with authority figures (parents, immigration officers) and partners to get ahead – and they’ll be putting in some stiff opposition. What your decision will boil down to ultimately is Cash. Mars’s shift to forwards ho on the 11th means bills are set to rise. What’s undeniably true is that you’re on a mission Clawface, and June and July will bring in the sweeping changes. This week: Mid-week surprise support from friends gladdens you. At the weekend and Monday 8th, lucrative career opportunities knock, with a foreign/education flavour. Talk the Big Talk.

Leo
Big Money Lettuce is where your surprises and opportunities lie; but with Uranus throwing the dice the outcomes run from work bonuses to severance pay and mortgage hikes to lottery wins. The days to watch are 4th, 16th, 17th. For some Pussy Cats, offers of boudoir jollies are on the cards too with amorous friends/lovers sharing their fruity imagination. Texts this month could melt your mobile. From the 11th you’re roaring into action with Future Plans that stalled back in December. And as Venus, Mercury and the Sun slip into your zone of foreign connections, study, and travel these are places where you can be sure to make progress, especially from the 21st. With all this wanderlust/lust work responsibilities and the day to day will feel like a prison sentence. Watch out for snarling at co-workers on the 9th, 18th and 22nd. No-one likey a sour puss. This week: surprising money news lands mid-week. Debts may need paying off by June. At the weekend you rally financially. A down-to-earth friend with savvy and a calculator helps.

Virgo
The Uranus effect has been in charge of your 7th house of close one to onesies for years. While you may be hiding behind the couch on hearing that Uranus is in full force once more, please take note that Jupiter is now here too, and at last changes will be On Your Side even if they’re not Of Your Making. Stand out days for about turns with one-to-onesies for love and bizniz are: 4th, 16th, and 17th. Relationships that start on those days are going to be life-changing and unpredictable. Count on them further down the road once time has had a chance to show you what’s what; relationships are going to be a healthy challenge throughout the month. Two people = two truths and while you need to be sturdy in yours, you need to be mindful of Others’. The latter part of the month and April bring opportunities for transformation and letting go. Anything that goes will make room for something better. Money issues bubble up on the 9th, 18th and 22nd but Venus, Mercury, and the Sun head into your zone of Big Cash Lettuce this month too spurring you on to bag some juicy commissions and consolidate credit card bills and loans. This week: surprises and u-turns from lovers on Wednesday. Changes at home look good at the weekend.

Libra
The forthcoming gaga moments of delight and upheaval are due to the footfall of planets clicking with the wirey-haired maverick, Uranus. Dates to note for this about-change are the 4th, 16th and 17th when you, your notions of The Future, and your wishes for What’s Possible get something of a surge out of leftfield. Changes to your Working Life and Attitood to Health and Fitness are your starting points, and some Librans could be swept off their feet by a cutey at work. Look your doe-eyed best at the watercooler all month. Saturn in your sign will be curbing your enthusiasm for all this Potential, and Pluto in your home and family zone may leave you feeling like the weight of the world’s on your shoulders. The Good Stuff is happening, Libra, but it’s a wax on wax off situation-style-scenario. Brace yourself for the 1950s musical philosophising, but don’t forget to count the rainbows in between the sun and showers this month. This week: Big Change on the work front can be driven by you Wednesday/Thursday and Monday week. Aim high!

Scorpio
What’s clear as crystal clear water right now is that you have Some Utterly Gorgeous opportunities in store where bebes, squeezies, and launching your creative innards on the world are concerned. Throughout the month Uranus and Jupiter - surprise and expansion/chance - are yours and Scorpios everywhere will be procreating, dating, or launching innovative creative endeavours. Uranus sez things come out of leftfield and are New; Jupiter says you can run with this. Home changes can be triggered as a knock on effect and income can rise thanks to creative thinking. To sustain all this outward growth, you’re going to need to foster some root-growing action. Short cuts won’t work now. Feeling the Joy means taking on a grown up attitood and ‘fessing up to your deepest truths (aka deepest fears). The 12th, 20th and 26th are days to let your need for love and your quest for intimacy push your guard down. This week: about turns in love and creative whatsit on Thursday and next weekend. Creative approaches to work bring success Monday 8th.

Sagittarius
For you, Archer, the Uranian quelle surprise, is bringing unanticipated malarkey to your zone of home and family. On the 4th surprise visits from friends are likely and at mid-month significant others (partners, mothers) are dropping curveball actions. Jupiter’s presence and the mid-month New Moon suggest that changes vz home and family are ripe. The process/decision for instigating them maybe less straightforward, however. What’s ultra-pretty is that once homefires are attended to, your potential for funsises sky rockets this month. Flirtation, creative adventures, and endeavours with children are on the cards. What’s dampening your bonfire are dour-faced pals and cash. You are one for adventures at the drop of a hat. Be sure the dour-faced pals aren’t angels in disguise and that the plastic has some give in it before you disappear over the horizon. If all’s in good working order, the time to fly is after the 11th. This week: midweek friends drop in out of the blue at your mudhut. By the weekend partners and parents are supportive round the hearth. Sunday’s a great night for a house party.

Capricorn
Spontaneous out of town trips, car problems, and random bursts of verbosity and chatty revelation are all part of your fairground experience this March, Goat. While you’re one for being the steady eddy in the meltdown moments of those around you, this month you get a feeling in your waters that standing on the other side of the line might be good for the soul. Letting your guard down takes courage but you have it, even if you scream and shout first. The thing is, the screaming and shouting is a Big Clue that you’re scared. Once you recognise that, resistance drops, and taking the wild tiger to work instead of the bus becomes much more do-able. Resistance is futile: Tuesday 9th, Thursday 18th, and Monday 22nd. Goats wanting to get going on house changes and family get togethers, pencil dates after the 11th. The end of the month culminates in a Full Moon in your career zone. Get the annual reports and accounts started NOW! This week: You blurt feelings of love to a squeeze, Thursday, then fear you can’t see it through by Sunday. And so the madness of March begins!

Aquarius
The March Fairground Ride concerns your finances/possessions. Before you bury your head in a manual or run for office just to AVOID the sticky wicket of cash, money, lettuce, let me tell you that it’s not necessarily bad. Hot days of surprise Uranian action fall on the 4th, 16th and 17th. What this means, cosmically, are that these are you big days for Financial Surprises. The 4th links to home, the 16th to mortgages/loans/credit, the 17th to partnerships of a bizniz or lovin’ variety. It’s your ruler Uranus at the wheel so use your natural inventiveness to turn opportunities or challenges into lucre. Bear in mind that your long-term goals may need revising; holding on to them could be holding you back. (That goes too for foreign holiday plans right now.) While you like change, you sometimes like change for change’s sake. Transformation has to Transform the Old You. Partnerships gather energy after the 11th. Shouting is likely but so is oobah. This week: Spend money on Aquarius Towers, Thursday. Next weekend and Monday 8th, creative ideas/work bring in the cash.

Pisces
Although you are naturally capable of adapting to changing tides, events may surprise even you this month, perticalerly your Responses to them. On the 4th, 16th and 17th random inclinations are spurring you on. Love, homelife, and work are all up for leftfield Fish spontaneity and lovers moving in, moving out, and revolving doors on the day job are all possible. What’s holding you back is either (a) the past or (b) the spondoolies. Saturn is demanding that you scrub the poop deck vz lingering old heartaches or a bad spending history, so you can start afresh. As the month progresses your focus is on bank vaults and earnings and spendsies. Fishes seeking higher pay brackets should be right on the money after the 11th and your annual New Moon shot to the arm of the 15th. This week: Confessions of love gush out of your fabulous mouth on Thursday. Moving a honey in? Get the mudhut glistening by the weekend.

Sunday 3 January 2010

February 2010

So that was January - and what a week to end on. Hope you’re still standing. February starts on the icky take-no-prisoners square between Saturn and Pluto as mentioned in last week’s scopes. Like being caught in a fishnet, the more you struggle, the more you’re wasting energy. Your Liberty and Truth can only breakout when Your Own Shackles are named and faced. Happily, though, the month then rallies to become a month of feeeeling, highs, and the odd NICE surprise or three. Even Valentine’s Day has the feel good factor so the obvious, pitying, annual card sent by your dad to cheer you due to lack of suitors will probably make you happyhappy this year (girls that is. Boys maybe not so much.) Following the Saturn-Pluto opening salvo this Monday, the 5 – 7th weekend is presided over by a Jupiter opposition to Saturn and a Jupiter sextile to Pluto. Shackles off?!

With all this tawk of restriction and liberty, this month’s tune is by the deliriously talented Rufus Wainwright and Ducky’s current on-repeat-player ‘Release the Stars’ (see what I did there?…) Hairbrush at the ready. Sing it like you mean it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UXBE31eDz8

Aries
February’s an important month for socialising and expanding your networks and getting the logistics for future wishes in place before you take your annual energy dip from mid-March. Venus and the Sun start the month in your zone of success, then Mercury sits down at the boardroom table from the 11th. Make Hay! Launch new ideas close to the 15th. From the 17th it’s party hats and social netwhoring with gusto for Rams until mid-March with the last weekend in February a stellar weekend for high times. Just watch you don’t overdo it. The Full Moon in your 6th house of work and medicine cabinets will leave you wishing you hadn’t drunk that eau-de-toilette chaser or emailed the boss at 3am with some destructive criticism. This Week: Monday ask yourself how you can transform your work into a successful career with easier cashola. At the weekend reflect on why you’re hiding behind duty or propriety when there’s a Big Wild World waiting for you out there.

Taurus
The cosmic focus is on your success and career zone all month with your ruler and the Sun here, and Mercury joining them from the 11th. The options to make good are plentiful. Launch an ambitious career scheme just after the 14th. From the 12th your zone of friends and wishes and netwhoring is sparkling with a month of fabulous offers and surprise encounters, and friends and lovers linking up. Work and love have linkage too. The weekend of the 6 – 7th and again Valentine’s Day shows it. Aussi, on a love tip, Valentine’s Day brings surprising words of love and lust and the weekend of the 27th is brimming with about turns and strong feeeeelings. This Week: Monday a business or lovin one-to-onesie logjams with your future/study/publishing/travel ambitions. It seems you can’t have both as they are and keep everyone happy... At the weekend wishes are rekindled and it’s time to focus on the relationship and whether there’s room for transformation or a need to let it go. The future plans aren’t going anywhere but they are under review so there’s time.

Gemini
Overseas loves and foreign interests, publishing and studying, are all written large in the sky above your head. The future is being formed as we speak, Airy One. Ensure it’s got the right amount of love and fun in it. Communicate your dreams! Launch new ambitions in these areas in the days after the 14th. From the 12th it’s time to focus on your career. First up look at the money and the creative, shiny potential on your career ladder: how can you expand that? Pitch ideas from mid-February and include foreign/studious links around the 26th. From March it’ll be time to get down to brass tacks and negotiate (lead) on contracts and the minutiae. Lovewise, your Valentine’s Day links bizniz and romance. Be at your sleekest and wittiest at the watercooler, on the commuter train, and at the conference table (14th – 17th). This Week: Monday recognise where there’s a transformation required at work or vz work, particularly when it comes to cash/money. Fund-raising, redundancies, overtime payments all fall under these stars. At the weekend a career wish comes closer. Push forward with plans from mid-month.

Cancer
These are good times, Crab. You’re catching up with lovers still and sorting out the confusion of early – mid January. Money pressures are about to give way to the bigger picture in life – travel, study, philosophy, and there’s luck in these ‘ere ‘ills! More shortly. First though, for the first two weeks of February keep an eye out for melting the plastic. It’s time to rein in any poor spending habits. Then from the 15th get your shekels in order with 0% balance transfers and savings accounts. Mercury’s in your 8th so it’s time for paperwork in your bank vaults department. Ooh, and some hot conversations about oobah if you don’t mind! Lovely. On the 17th and 26 – 28th of the month your future lights up like a Catherine wheel. Foreign and studying plans, especially opportunities to work or study abroad, just got the greenlight. And overseas love affairs look positively enticing. Send a postcard. This Week: Monday and there’s a Truth Conversation about turning a squeeze into something more permanent, or some truths about Who You Are need to be put out there for a lover’s deliberation. At the weekend lovin’ conversation have F-U-T-U-R-E and F-O-R-E-I-G-N writ large. [Send postcard. As above.]

Leo
After the wobbly last week of January, you’ve got to get up and over Monday, and then begin to roar again. The Sun and Venus continue to sparkle through your zone of one-to-onesies and its being shiny and making the effort that matters. From the 12th Mercury lands here with a New Moon two days later. If you need to clear up the mess left over from last week, or turn over a whole new leaf in your one-to-onesie department, do it then. As the planets drift upwards into your 8th house of sex, death, and taxes this month expect to find yourself: dealing with big money issues, getting a lot more fruity, and experiencing opportunities to transform your life. Jupiter’s here and so you’ve Dr Feelgood helping you through this. Watch the 17th and the last weekend of the month for some 8th house highs. This Week: Monday and a work and homelife issue is at stalemate. Come the weekend an opportunity to transform things creatively arises. Do your homework on all solutions. Money’s going to get tighter for a while come April.

Virgo
The love stuff and fun stuff really is coming, Virgo, and yes in time for Valentine’s Day. Before then it’s important to make strides in work and health. The powerhouse of the Sun won’t be back in this zone for a year so schedule check ups, put the hours in on the day job, and grasp opportunities to shine before the 17th. Monday the 15th looks GOLDEN. Your ruler Mercury docks in this worky/health zone from 11th February so you can do the extra negotiating and verbal chitty chat after then. Vz love ting, you’ll know by now that Jupiter is in your 7th house of close one to onesies bringing expansion, goodtimes and/or the ability to oust those that are less-than-the-best to make room for The Best. This month circle the 6th, 12th, 14th, 17th and 28th for days of Feeling It. This Week: Monday and lovers/children/creative life and The Truth need to meet and there’s an impasse/stalemate/rock-and-hard-place situation-style-scenario. Come the weekend there’s a solution closer to home, quite literally.

Libra
Sweet Scales, life continues apace. While January has been a month of exploring fun and your life vz creativity and bebes, February switches to become a life of worky worky, health, and positive (dramatic) changes in these areas. Get as much recreational fluffiness and potato painting as you can between now and the 12th when your ruler walks in to your office and starts bringing all sorts of offer your way. With Jupiter here, paving the way for advancement, the attentions of Venus and the Sun are making you shine. Watch the 12th, 17th, and 28th in particular (when offers of creative/healing jobs land with a surprise). For you Valentine’s Day this year is perfectly splendid. A New Moon lands in your 5th house of romance and Mercury’s already here giving you wooing prowess and poetry acumen. Declare it Scales! This Week: The costs of running a home and family are proving a heavy responsibility at the moment. At the end of the week bounce ideas off people at work to find solutions – or bounce ideas about work off people. Some may be in a position to help you.

Scorpio
Early February is about your four walls and your clan. Venus and the Sun here are bringing joy and happiness as well as an appreciation of/need for partnership and a sense of your own home reflecting who you are and your own personal standing in the world. From the 12th focus starts to shift to your 5th house of fun. Negotiations vz home and family continue during February, and you’ll be hosting friends, but this is all rather eclipsed by the cosmic rays shining on lovers, chilun, and creative ting. Days for luck, fun, and love are 6th, 12th, 14th – 17th, 19th and 28th. Single Scorpios these are Your Dates for getting your charisma out on the town. Coupled up Scorps, get some fun/some kids into your relationship! All Scorps, creative endeavours launched now have cosmic blessings. This Week: You’re aware that you’ve some old cheese you need to unpack and process before you can move on. You don’t want to. But there’s your fish net… Come the weekend, the shiny goings on in your funzone give you the impetus to tackle your emotional poop deck.

Sagittarius
Where you can make great strides this month is to take some time out. Seriously. Particularly after the 12th, planets are clustering around the base of your chart and it’s time to draw in and focus on home, family, stability, tribe, belonging and expansion of the family. (Watch good news on 17th and 27th from nieces or nephews due in the coming months to mortgages being accepted.) For some Archers it just isn’t possible. Mercury’s ingress to your zone of commuting and out of town trips means career needs are going to keep you on the road. What you can do is balance things out with long lazy weekends with the clan or three course dinners in a den in the sitting room. This Week: Monday and pressures about money are bringing migraines. Finding an earthy friend to help you ground it and plan it out can help. Come the weekend home and family seem to offer up a solution. Renting the spare room? Charging the (older) kids a little board and rent? Loans from Ma and Pa, bros or sisses?

Capricorn
When in doubt, leave it out Goat. After the highs and lows of money in the past week, you’ll be keen to negotiate right now and Mercury’s with you, helping you do just that. Make the conversations about lettuce if you need to – and even better, negotiating on income is the soup du jour from 11th February. From the 12th, Venus, she the Goddess of Love, sashays into your zone of chitty chat and out of town travel. It’s time to talk about and commute for love, just in time for a Valentine’s get away. In fact Goats’ words of love around this time could be filled with the future. Venus is hooking up to Jupiter at the time of the New Moon. Proposals for some Goats are starred. This Week: first though, on Monday your ruler and Saturn are at loggerheads. Beware of bullying others in the office. It won’t make you friends in the long-run. At the weekend there’s an opportunity for dousing your words with a touch of humility and eating humble pie. Don’t be proud. Be educated!

Aquarius
The Sun and Venus are still with you bringing energy, and a focus on the importance of one-to-onesies of a bizniz and loving variety, and to your four walls. What’s frustrating progress is Mercury in the 12th meaning information is backwards in coming forwards and leaving you slightly tongue-tied. This rights itself by the 11th. From then on you can begin negotiations with lovers and sign off on Big Money issues. From the 12th and then 19th Venus and the Sun dive splendidly into your zone of earned income. All month’s a lucrative smorgasbord but circle the 17th and 28th particularly. In fact the 28th has Your Luck in Lettuce written all over it. Buy a lotto ticket that weekend. This Week: Monday and you’re feeling you don’t deserve the things you wish for. Write down the most angst-ridden, moping phrasing you come up with that day. Read ‘em again at the weekend when Jupiter brings rainbows and you’ll be wondering if it was really you who said all that.

Pisces
A low key, slow start to the month is what the doctor ordered. Jupiter may be making you feel chipper about the future, but Venus and the Sun are under your radar for the first few weeks so plenty of early nights, especially after health flare ups over last weekend thanks to the Leo Full Moon. From the 12th though it’s all change. Venus joins you in time for Valentine’s Day and the Sun joins you from the 19th. Energy levels are up and the 17th and 28th bring real highs for money and health. What you do need to watch for is GOSSIP. Don’t be the one perpetrating the chin wags. It’ll come bite you on the aspic on the 27th. This Week: Monday and your wishes for the future aren’t do-able in the shape they are in. Regroup at the weekend. They’ll be even better when they’ve been through
the blender a little.
