The Pursuit of Happiness

This week typifies the concept of fire & ice. On one hand it seems like “all systems go” while on the other hand there are road blocks everywhere. This brings about a show down in terms of people getting their demands met. Although this situation has been brewing for some time, it is only now that people will show what is up their sleeve. In some cases, they have just been bluffing and this will become crystal clear in the days ahead.

Momentum is the key to achieving your goals. This is hard to accomplish as there are many peaks and valleys. Soon you will be getting on the straightaway and this will expedite any issues that require action. Don’t let anyone dictate your hopes and wishes. Keep them in mind and continue working hard. Your progress may be slow but if you keep going you are sure to arrive.

Luck has eluded you recently but this will change in the coming months. However, you must be able to identify the opportunities when they present themselves. If you are not vigilant, you will miss your chance to excel in your chosen field. We live in complex times and understanding human psychology is a must. “Know yourself and you will know the others”.

Win or Lose, You Pay

Three planets, Sun, Mercury & Venus in Aries, get you going. After several weeks of being in emotional turmoil, you can now move forward. Saturn in Libra opposes the Sun in Aries so you may hesitate briefly, but this gives way to movement in a definite direction. Your energy level should begin to improve greatly. Mars in Leo gives you that extra edge in your advancement.

Saturn in Libra for the next 2 ½ years will give you the opportunity to change your relationships. It will allow you to examine them in depth and make the necessary adjustments that will lead to greater happiness. This could mean changes in business partnerships as well. There may be a reverse of previous commitments. In any case, it is an opportunity to begin relating in a whole new way.

Mercury in Aries, watch your tongue, is square to Pluto in Capricorn. This is an explosive aspect that can suddenly bring out the “truth” in an abrupt and unpleasant manner. Truth is good, but try to point in out in a nice way. Remember it is your truth and everyone has their own perspective of what that means. In reality, the truth is masked from all humanity. It is thought that we might perish if we know the truth.

Live your own life to the fullest and allow others to decide what is best for themselves. It’s their prerogative.

Nothing New Under the Sun

This week we have five planets in Pisces. It’s enough to make you a complete pushover. But not quite, Pisces is the mastermind or at least they think so. They can be so endearing, yet beware of their charm. They know how to get what they want. They’ll look you right in the eye while they are picking your pocket. Nevertheless, a more compassionate sign doesn’t exist. They will always be there for you. Both the Sun & Moon are in Pisces so there is much to agree upon.

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are very emotional. Everything is a drama. This week, the whole world is a stage. Actors everywhere are playing their parts and it is like seeing a tragic opera. Most operas are tragic. But why not play life as a comedy. Be an optimist and not a pessimist. You pay the same price.

You may feel like you are in over your head but you’ll have to give it your best shot. There don’t seem to be any mitigating circumstances. While you are mired in your deep thoughts you might just come up with a new and original solution to a very old problem. I guess laughter is the best medicine.

Not A Time for Equivocation

There will be a lot of churning and turning of the stomach in the next couple of weeks. The digestive system is reacting to over stimulation and is having difficulty in swallowing the large portions that are now being served. There are 5 planets in the sign of Pisces which signals a slowing of peristalsis. The planets now in Pisces are the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter & Uranus.

Pisces is a water sign and water signs are emotional and this gives way to a somewhat distorted view of the facts. We tend to project our emotions into the picture. It is as if you put a stick into the water and the reflection you see is distorted. Water (emotions) distorts truth. You might also say that water softens truth. Emotions allow us to connect in a deeper way with other human beings. Everything single thing has advantages and disadvantages. In fact, for every advantage is a disadvantage.

The Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius. This inclines toward poor instincts. Fire signs in general have poor instincts. Use your head and your heart. Rise above your instincts. Instincts are what separate man from his Spirit. You cannot rely on your instincts. Jupiter, the planet associated with luck, is represented by the Moon above the cross. That would mean that true understanding stands above our earthly needs and desires. Jupiter represents wisdom and philosophy. Good fortune follows the courageous one.
