Strong resolve propels you through the complications of pursuing what you love. Everyone is behind you and supporting you. You can face confrontation with courage. In your eyes, your vision is true and real, therefore you must do what you have to do. Point your will into the multi-tasking it takes to develop your ideal. Unfortunately, there are some not-so-good elements developing around you. If you ignore these, they will become a problem. Think about how you communicate and listen to what you say and how you say it. You have a creative potential at your disposal that will be quite useful. Create. William Butler Yeats advises, ” Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.”

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

An unexpected thunderstorm. ~~sabian symbol

Being the teacher that you are this week, you will be amazed at the visionary tactic that surrounds you. Deep knowledge of ecstatic release is present. You hold back. You push it away. Perhaps you need to take another look at yourself. Are you seeing things clearly? Who do you think you are? The battle you are fighting is your own. We want to help, but alas………..cannot. Pay attention to things at their beginning, because that is when the most difficult mistakes can be made. There will be conflict and opposition. Your best bet is to avoid controversy. Soren Kierkeaard once said, “Genius, like a thunderstorm, comes up against the wind.” Head for safer shelter.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

An empty hammock hangs between two lovely trees. ~~sabian symbol

You are chasing after a dream without much cooperation. You talk about how you want this, but will not do that because of what happened before. Its really because you do not have the energy to rise to the occasion anyway. Are you enjoying yourself? Really? What you are chasing after; is it enjoyable? You do not understand why you are not being met with open arms, but it is because your intentions are misunderstood. Look inside and strengthen your position. If it is really that important, you will need to find a way to do the work and also align yourself with someone who can be influencial on your behalf. Your virtues and qualities of leadership are being watched. Show your stuff. This is a situation that you will be passing through, so do not get to comfy. Take these words of John Clarke into consideration, “He that would thrive must rise at five; he that have thriven may lie till seven.”

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)

The sight of an autumn leaf brings to a pilgrim the sudden revelation of the mystery of life and death. ~~sabian symbol

You have been working too hard and your energy level is low. What you thought you wanted before is not at all what you want now. You came, you saw, and you conquered. Now you keep your feelings to yourself. A sudden realization alerts you to aspects that have been there all along. Do not worry about future problems regarding this issue, because giving them energy will only add fuel. Acting so quickly has put you in a kind of a pickle, so be very very cautious. This is a tender situation, yet I have complete faith in your negotiating skills. Remember the source of all things. Think about humanity. Hal Borland said, “To see a hillside white with dogwood bloom is to know a particular ecstasy o beauty, but to walk the gray winter woods and find the buds which will resurrect that beauty in another May is to partake of continuity.”

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

A merry-go-round. ~~sabian symbol

Life feels good right now and you want to keep holding on to your current cycle. Your energy level is not at the optimum and that can help you. There are consequences for every action. You feel like a kid and this lends the type of innocence you will need to keep from becoming self-serving and egotistical. An objective attitude will help you be clear before you say things. Be careful this week with your words. Nostalgia and memories govern your thoughts. Play. Remember the good old days with family and find out more about the very important role you play. What elements in your life do you allow to recur and is it worth it? Walt Whitman wrote, “There was a child went forth everyday, And the first object he looked upon and received with wonder or pity or dread, that object he became, And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day… or for many years or stretching cycles of years…” Allow yourself to stick to traditional roles without becoming stuck in a rut.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

A chinese laundry. ~~sabian symbol

You can make things happen even though the job is difficult. Being with others this week will bring you happiness, though it will be hard for you to show your delight. It is because you are being shy and too serious. I do not think you are seeing things very clearly as far as how others feel. Even when things come at you expectantly, you can come out unscathed if you adapt with the changes. Keep things clean and perform your daily tasks with the attitude of doing them for their own sake. Henry Ward Beecher said, “Work is not the curse, but drudgery is.”

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)

A serpent coiling near a man and a woman. ~~sabian symbol

The choice to revive an element of your life comes from being open to new experience. Its tricky to effect the situation with a measure of poise because there is interference and temptation. You might be afraid to try anything because of the responsibility it suggests. Though, there is a part of you that is aggressive and exclaiming, “MINE!” It is as if your feminine and masculine sides of your personality are at odds. There are some difficulties that you can do nothing about, so do nothing. Realize that you have what you want and temptation will not distract you. Do not give it a voice. From the words of Al Batt, “Be cautious. Opportunity does the knocking for temptation too.”

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

An examination of initiates in the sanctuary of an occult brotherhood. ~~sabian symbol

Everyone is learning. You involve yourself with the mental pushing involved and go right to the edge where you are prepared to throw yourself to the wind to keep from being prodded by minds that are aggressively disapproving. With you, what you see is not what you get. It seems that you have started something that you now wish that you had not. You hold back from your real desires and this does not make you happy. This week you will discover the best way to fix what you feel is in disrepair. Make apologies and correct what is close to collapse. Three days is good to consider where to start, but after that do not hesitate or your issues will recur. Think about the words of Charles Shwab, “I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.”

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

A mountain pilgrimage. ~~sabian symbol

Again this week, it is a good idea to take responsibility for your own actions, rather than point around you. Strive for what you want. You may feel inhibited because of past failure or challenges, but I applaud you for going after your desires anyway. Short-term goals can help you stay in the moment. The only thing holding you back is your old mindset. Someone once said, “The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

Three old masters hanging in a special room in an art gallery - sometimes they seem to speak to each other. ~~sabian symbol

It is said that learning who someone is can be done more precisely by sitting silently in a room with them, then to hold hours of conversation. You have your hands full. Why would you not? You are a valuable person. It is important to find the middle road when vying for balance in your world. Who gets more of your attention? When given the choice to be liberal or conservative, choose the latter this week. Recognition is coming your way. A difficult start can be a blessing in disguise. Do not start anything new. Consolidate what you have. Create art to channel any difficulties. Later you will be able to reconcile what you will not be able to now. Think about the words of Morihei Ueshiba, “The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.”

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

An unsealed letter has vital and confidential information. ~~sabian symbol

Held back information creates hesitancy all around. Someone is holding back what is in their heart. You do not have the confidence for the usual spunk you possess, but you do have a little charm you are sprinkling around to see if you can tickle some of the words out. With Mercury in retrograde much can be misunderstood. Your best bet is to be patient and not worry about what will only be temporary. Practice your art of accepting people for their good points as well as their follies. Do not throw yourself away just to be close to someone. Maintain your independence. This is merely a slap on the wrist for something you had no experience with in the beginning. Perhaps you blurt out too much? Moderate your needs, whether they be for external acceptance or for unrealistic ideals. Confucius said, “When a man enters public life he does not change from what he was in private life. How unflinching is his strength!”

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

An easter promenade. ~~sabian symbol

You have a little of the drop-butt syndrome. Confronting your fears can be rewarding, but also exhausting. Afterwards often the brain goes numb and finding your center can be harder. We do not see this when we look at you though. You have us all fooled with the natural ease and seeming happiness you exude when you are blending in with your environment. Use this to your advantage. Forget about what you just went through and get out there and enjoy yourself. It is a good time to be seen, because your charm is delightful and your elegance enchanting. Any problems you feel that you are having are only because you feel bored. Snap out of it and go join your friends. Sir John Suckling encourages, “Her feet beneath her petticoat Like little mice stole in and out, As if they feared the light; But oh, she dances such a way! No sun upon an Easter-day Is half so fine a sight.”
