Good fortune follows the courageous one.  In every case where an effort is made to make things better, luck seems to follow.  Luck is above the horoscope.  Like the saying goes, “you make your own luck.” This is a composite of planetary configurations that lead people to ultimately do the right thing.  You travel the Via Dolorosa until the right thinking is achieved.

Astrologically, we strive to evolve as human beings.  This process is achieved by the Sun realizing the Moon.  In other words, we evolve when the conscious realizes the unconscious.  This is a lifelong process that embraces some suffering.  However, you don’t have to suffer too much.  Too much and too little are the enemies.

The mind turns to practical matters.  You don’t have time to dwell on any personal slights or emotional issues that have been dominating your thinking.  Consciousness means growing more aware.  You become more aware of your own motivations and the real needs that drive them.  This awakening can be critical to changing personal characteristics that don’t serve your purpose.

You are not just thinking now, but are acting.  Doing is the key to putting ideas to work.  The time has come to deliver all that has been promised.  It is also true that others will feel the need to deliver on their promises to you.  This should prove to be a very productive week.  Put your cards on the table and let others know exactly where you stand. 

There will be many distractions that attempt to take you away from the matter at hand, but you need to stay focused on what you are trying to accomplish.  It’s easy to get sucked into someone’s agenda.  Stay strong and pursue your own goals.  Let the rest roll off your back.

There are obstacles that currently stand in the way of obtaining the personal security that you desire. However, it will pass quickly and you will be on your way to succeeding at your goals.
You will feel your energy level pick up significantly. In fact, you will have more energy than you
have had in quite a long time. This will help you increase your patience and subject you to new ways of solving problems. You may come up with these new ideas in your sleep. You dream about them.

Look for ways of broadening your perspective. Overtime you have eliminated possibilities
that may be very workable at this time. Incorporate these new things into your repertoire. Overall, there is a shifting of resources into new landscapes of operation. Be alert to this shifting as it will create opportunities for those who are aware.

A project that you have been pursuing has not yet materialized but it is in the works. Don’t
become down-hearted as this project is much closer to realization than you
think. Unexpected support comes from old friends who are aware of your need. They
recommend you enthusiastically, no strings attached.

Clarify your thoughts. Move deliberately. Be vigilant. Good things come from unexpected places. Your opportunity is just around the corner.

It’s very hard to get results when you have one foot in and one foot out. This seems like a good
safety measure but it really shows lack of commitment. It’s often the case when you are in a
personal relationship but also when you are in a business relationship. It seems comfortable to have an escape hatch. You might be missing out, however, because making a commitment allows you to fully reap the benefits of these relationships.

Human nature is a complicated thing. As long as we are human, we will suffer the indignities
of being human along with celebrating the dignities. Freud said that we have a death wish. The unconscious is not always predisposed to a healthy approach to life. We sometimes undermine our own best interest. The more conscious we become, the more we are able to influence the daily grind of living. We can enjoy the happy hour, the happy day, the happy life.

Problems come and go and we do our best to resolve these situations. When we have the right
thinking, we make progress and things should start to make sense. We can start to envision a big picture. If we have the wrong thinking, the pieces don’t seem to fit together in a satisfactory
way. We gain right thinking by trial and error. But if we keep trying we will make progress and
life will become simpler.

What we achieve in the right way will be a source of happiness and will be maintained. What we achieve in the wrong way will be a source of unhappiness and will be lost. We have a great deal more control over our future when our actions are conscious. We can consciously create circumstances.

There is a reason that we are told “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. It is very difficult to see the others as they truly are. To some degree, they are a reflection of our self. In order to see them clearly, we would have to know ourselves well. We would have to be able to differentiate between the “I” and the “not I”. In a general way, we are a polarity. In astrology, we learn from the opposite sign. In the archetype, the first house represents you and is opposed by the seventh house. The seventh house represents others.

Having all the tools of the astrology trade doesn’t make judgment all that easy. You have to clear your own unconscious before you can be clear about the future. You have to dust away the cobwebs of your past and dispose of your ego. This is something that we are all working toward no matter what profession we are pursuing. We are looking for clarity of mind.

Countless opportunities are squandered due to lack of patience. Patience is the only virtue. You must develop patience to capture the full effect of your desires. You need patience to accomplish your goals and you need it to soften your personality.

We all have friends and we all have enemies and that is in the nature of things. If a man has no
enemies, he has no friends. Judgment is highly difficult. Each of us has a destiny and a calling that is tailored to the unique qualifications that we have gathered in our journey of life. Human
beings can only make judgments based on their experiences and this often doesn’t reflect the big picture.

This week delivers an ability to step into it. Don’t wait for the limb you are standing on to be sawed off by conflicting needs. Show that what you have in mind is a workable and sustainable approach to getting the job done. If you don’t believe it can work…no one else will either. This requires that you commit yourself to aclear direction so that others can anticipate where you are heading.

People are much happier when they can anticipate your behavior. If you are erratic and unstable, this will be picked up on. You may want to keep part of your plan close to your vest but you can still inject a certain amount of stability into your persona.

Plan your work and work your plan. You need to show that your ideas are seamless.
No employer or client wants to think you are just guessing. Show that you have it figured out. Show how you would implement your plan in the most efficient way. Many things are happening behind closed doors. You are not privy to all the issues that surround a particular problem. Not being in the loop won’t be a handicap. You have the imagination to read between the lines.

Look for signs of withdrawal from some of your friends. They won’t always move along your line of thinking. They have their own thoughts and philosophy and their own destiny to fulfill. You can set a good example but don’t insist on compliance.

You are starting to overcome the nervousness that you have been feeling over the past month. A lot of this has to do with self- esteem. You have been challenged in many ways on your perception of events. Take ownership of your perspective. Human beings see things differently and it will always be colored by their personal experiences and perceptions. You are entitled to yours. Don’t let self-doubt creep in and spoil your feelings of success.

You may be unaware that there are eyes on you. You are appreciated because you step up and
contribute your abilities to make every situation work. No one is thanking you, but it has not gone unnoticed. Although it seems like there have been many delays, keep a positive attitude and pursue the course that you have chosen.

Pressures will come and go in the coming year. You have to be flexible and ready to take an
opportunity when it presents itself. Don’t hesitate. You are well prepared and have invested the
time and effort into making a new enterprise succeed. This will develop over time and will become more compelling as time progresses. Time and space solve all problems.

Happy events are in your future. Embrace them and be thankful. Nothing comes without a struggle and your good nature means a lot. Much is forgiven to those who love.

Emotions will run high this week and nothing will escape your eagle eye. What we say and what we think are often contradicted by our facial expressions. These expressions come from our unconscious and we telegraph all of our feelings to others without realizing it. We are an open book.

The coming weeks should help you develop a complete picture of what you want to accomplish. Many factors such as timing and delivery of ideas come into play. You may find yourself becoming a sales person and if this doesn’t gel with your own nature, it can be a taxing experience.

You tend to worry a lot about little things. Everything gets blown out of proportion as
you are feeling a little on edge. Slow down and do one thing at a time. Focus on one thing and try to complete it. This should help you get over your irrational and anxious feelings.

New things will be coming your way, but there may be some delays. There are interferences which
are beyond your control. Patience is the only virtue. Sometimes you just have to wait.

A situation is currently causing you apprehension and anxiety. You will need to peel away the layers to get at the underlying issue. This is tedious and somewhat unpleasant as the people you are dealing with are overly sensitive. Don’t be your own enemy. Hold your tongue. It may be painful for a moment not to express your feelings but you will make a long awaited breakthrough.

You feel that you are opposed by people that are supposed to be your friends. This feeling is probably at the seat of your anxiety. “If God is with me, who can be against me.” Get in touch with your feelings of inadequacy as this may be triggering these unfounded thoughts. Many problems have their origin in the unconscious. We should make an effort to change them. By identifying them and confronting these problems, we free ourselves.

If you have been considering a new beginning, the time is right. Spring is around the corner and you can make everything new again. Consider not only what is there but also what is missing. This helps you gain perspective on the whole picture. Put the pieces together to form a total image.

Human beings are all linked together and to some degree we share a common destiny. We should do our part to make this earthly transformation satisfying and beneficial. You cannot harm other people without also harming yourself.

Your mind has been wandering down memory lane and dredging up some of your past emotional shortcomings. This is fine to reexamine the dynamics of these past relationships but don’t get bogged down in the memorabilia. Accept that you made the best decision that was available to you at that time.

Some of your brainstorms are making a lot of sense now but you are experiencing setbacks in your ability to put them into action. Maybe this is good then time is the best story teller of all. Integrate time and space and allow these big ideas to gain traction slowly.

If you are experiencing some feelings of agitation don’t panic. These feelings will subside in a short period of time. Focus on the matter at hand and this will mitigate your feelings of anxiety. Clearly, there are issues that are making there way to the surface. This will help you to manage your personal affairs in a direct and effective way. Open your ears to your inner voice as you will receive some important direction for the future.

Play your cards close to your vest. Others are difficult to read now.
