How to
Treat your Capricorn |
|
|
|
Your
Capricorn is so much more than a mischievous mountain goat. This
playful kid can merrily prance to the top of any hill. Life is a
cherished challenge for your Capricorn, who is always prepared for
the long haul. His tremendous patience and perseverance is only
possible because he also knows how to enjoy life. Picture impish Pan
with his alluring flute. To Capricorn, it is all one, great long game.
If
you have the good luck to have captured capricious Capi, rest
assured that you will never go without. Your Capricorn never gives up
- your life will only get better and better. Practical, persevering
optimism is built into your Capricorn, along with a strong sense of
responsibility and keen powers of observation. Capi goes for the
ultimate in personal achievement.... and you are in for one long
goat-ride! And I mean that in every sense of the word!
How
can you show proper appreciation for your hooved companion? Well,
first off, remember that Capricorn is a leader. Either go with the
program, or come up with something better. Second, your Capi needs to
feel needed. Tell him how successful he is and recognize his
monumental efforts. Take notice of every step up the ladder. Third -
make your Capricorn take time out for fun and adventure. She might
only see in one direction - up! Encourage her to turn her head around
from time to time and look at the scenery. Finally, take your Capi's
love completely seriously. He might be having a wonderful time, but
when it comes to love - there's no funnin'. Capi plays completely for keeps!
Don't
be put off if she shows a serious demeanor in public - that's just
her way of assuring a spotless reputation. Be his partner in the
business of life. Recognize the playfulness in your Capi's heart.
Remember that you are blessed with a companion who will get younger
and younger with time, and who willl give you many years of devoted
attention to your needs.....and good, long lovin', too....no kidding...

How to
Treat your Aquarius |
|
|
|
Aquarians
are a slippery lot. A fixed Air sign, it may seem that your
water-bearing friend is always on a crusade or a mission. Well he is!
When the Aquarian gets an idea in his head - there's no way of
getting it out unless you come up with a better one. The Aquarian
gets involved in a project, then in the wink of an eye he's off to
start another. And every project has new, pressing importance.
So
why are Aquarians slippery? Because the moment that Uranian
lightning bolt strikes your ingenious friend, she will slip right out
of your hands! Your Aquarian has the potential to save the planet,
convert all her friends to a new religion, or take off on a dangerous
adventure of discovery. And danger doesn't get in her way!
Your
Aquarius friend or lover needs the freedom to follow inspiration,
ideas and dreams. He thrives on communication and travel, excitement
and changes, science and technology, the strange and extraordinary.
Aquarius lives and breathes for new experiences. They help him to
form his very solid opinions on life. You show your friendship best
when you give him every opportunity to expand his mind to the fullest.
Also,
your Aquarian makes friends wherever she goes, and each one is
special in her heart. Understand that her openness is not a threat to
you. Give her the freedom to make new and fascinating connections!
Better yet, be a part of the adventure....
Feed
your Aquarian with respect, friendship, unusual outings, group
activities, modern clothes and new ideas. Show interest in his
musings. Let her know how bright and intelligent she is. Protect your
Aquarian from harm. You will be rewarded with devotion, fun times and
a little wildness!!

The Tower
in the Tarot |
|
|
|
~
Blown Away... ~
You've
got some idea in your mind about the way things are. Your tower is
secure, all is well, then BLAM - a meteor hits, lighting strikes, a
tornado blows it all away!! It's too late - and there ain't nothin'
you can do about it.
Generally
speaking, it's about the worst card in the deck. Take all the fives,
the 10 of swords, top it off with the 10 of wands and multiply by 9.
This is the Lightning Struck Tower. Wherever this card lands in a
reading, something is in need of serious revision. Whatever you may
have expected is not to be.... disappointment is the word of the day!
I
should say that the Tower has some quality of hope or redemption,
and it does - but at the moment the lightning strikes, it feels
pretty miserable and hopeless - unless of course you're expecting to
die tomorrow, or be asked for a divorce, or lose your job - and the
worst does not happen. This sort of disappointment would of course be
most welcome. Most of us however hope for and expect the best
in life.
The
Tower is sudden change, an unexpected accident, shocking news and
that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach when you come to some
horrifying realization. The Tower is a reversal of fortune, and a
twist of fate. It may be small or large, lead to long- lasting or
brief changes - but it comes quickly, with intensity, and is most
certainly not fun.
Perhaps
you are blind to what's coming up. Maybe you're in denial. Could be
just karma kicking your behind, or some fated ocurrence that has
nothing to do with you personally at all, but is part of a grander
plan. Whatever it may be, it's sure to be a surprise!!! So - open
your eyes, brush off the debris, and calmly assess the damage. Then
put on your hard-hat and get to work! You can rebuild, and maybe the
next tower will be even better. There's got to be a silver lining, somewhere.

The Outer
Planets - Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Lunar Nodes ~^. .^~ |
|
|
|
Uranus
in Pisces! ...
Uranus
will stay in the Sign of the Fish 'til 2011! Spiritual Revolution
you say?? Yes, that would describe it well. What can we expect with
Uranus in Pisces? Perhaps our ideas about death, sacrifice, the
fantastic and impossible, transcendence and service to humanity will
take some dramatic and innovative turns. We can hope that
humanitarianism will take on new meaning and purpose, and that
service to others may become a more integral part of our social
order. With this placement, Uranus can become quite reclusive or
fanatical. Scientists who may have been hiding out for years in
research can bring new and surprising inventions and discoveries into
our midst, and Political Messiahs may come out of the woodwork. With
Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception - they will rely upon each
other more than usual, and herald perhaps a renewed and revolutionary
(Uranus) vision for humanity (Neptune) The cost may be a certain
amount of turmoil and confusion regarding just where we are going for
humanity, and will probably not be without conflict.
Neptune
in Aquarius (til 2012) is helping to set our expressions of love
and creativity into positive, innovative motion. A change in the
prevailing style in movies, fashion and art will be seen in the
months and years to come - probably bringing much more in the realm
of the unusual, shocking, rebellious, and inter-cultural.
Pluto
is in Capricorn now until 2024. The very fabric of society may
begin to be re-woven - but not before old structures are dismantled.
Capricorn is about authority, success, achievement and social order.
Pluto is about death and regeneration. Pluto asks us to dig deep and
USE what is best in our world to create something much better. We
need to avail ourselves of and share our brightest and most
humanistic minds (Uranus in Pisces, Neptune in Aquarius!!), and not
descend into blind destructiveness, greed or desperation.
The
powerful Neptune/Pluto septile, exact on Dec 1, 2006 and Feb.
21, 2007 will last (going in and out of close orb) into 2011! For
those of us who are very creative, tremendous inspiration can bring
influential, explosive, mind-blowing creations. In love - the
potential for making inspired changes is heightened - yet there also
exists the possibility of getting lost in confusion. Avoid falling
into a pit of despair, or indulging in self-destructive activities.
Getting nowhere fast? Look for Creative and Healthy, Inspired, Loving
outlets to save your skin! Get involved in helping others.... this is
especially important now!
Neptune/Pluto
can bring the sort of fanaticism that has not been seen since the
last such aspect at the beginning of WWII. Yet - this aspect also has
the potential to inspire lasting, humanitarian changes throughout the world.
From
8/22 to 3/4/2011, the North & South Nodes are on the
Capricorn/Cancer axis, bringing a focus on relationships that can
help us to achieve our goals, do our very best, and encourage us to
honor our teachers, supporters and mentors. As we enter this phase,
take time to remember ancestors and to acknowledge valued family
members, yet to let go of those memories and belongings that no
longer serve us. Reach out with enthusiasm for new opportunities that
may present themselves!
Chiron
in Aquarius...
This
archetype of human compassion will be passing nonstop through
Aquarius from January 06 til Feb. 2011, bringing a period of higher
inspiration in the realm of healing. We may look forward to greater
cooperation worldwide in the healing sciences, and perhaps going back
to tradition - those time honored ways that our ancestors enjoyed and
practiced in harmony with nature. Perhaps we may find more and more
"health" foods (ie unaltered and unprocessed) on our
grocery shelves, greater acceptance of mind-body healing approaches,
and some brave new ideas to surface, too.

Mewsings
from Venus & Mars
~ Future
Forecast ~ for Love |
|
 |
|
With Mars
in Leo from 10/17/09 to 6/17/2010 (!!!) - LONG retrograde
from 12/20/09 to 3/10/2010!, males will want to really shine, and
egos may seem especially large - but certainly family matters will
take on increased importance, as well as the desire to maintain a
spotless reputation... keep on shining, inside and out!
Venus
in Capricorn from 12/25 to 1/18/10 is a bit somber and
business-like, but also fun loving. If over-spending from
over-optimism has been a problem in the past, this Venus will set
things right. This month, while striving for your personal best, the
words to remember are control and moderation.
Venus
in Aquarius from 1/18 to 2/11 is wild and free - perhaps
uncontrollable. There may be clashes between the sexes as they go
head to head over any number of issues, but new friendships and new
ideas are likely to spring up, and as long as one puts
responsibilities first, all should be well.

Future
Forecast for Love
During
the first week in January, Venus and Pluto nearing
Sun/Mercury in Capricorn are square Saturn while Chiron/Neptune/Jupiter
remain conjunct in Aquarius, compelling many of us to look hard
at the practicality and long term viability of our relationships,
while at the same time seeking some higher meaning and purpose. The Lunar
Eclipse on New Years Eve helps focus our attention on
weeding out that which does not nurture our families, loved ones, or aspirations.
The
second week, Saturn squares Pluto, Venus sextiles Uranus and
conjuncts the North Node, and there is a Solar
Eclipse in Capricorn on the 14th. bringing energy for
new relationships, and perhaps stressing outworn alliances or
responsibilities to the breaking point.
During
the third week, Venus trines Saturn and septiles Uranus,
helping to relieve some of the tension of the previous week. Don't
relax too much though - best to stay awake and not allow others to
take advantage of your good nature!
During
the 4th week, Venus opposes Mars and octiles Uranus.
There may be clashes between the sexes, and sudden, annoying,
unexpected changes in plans. Male quirkiness should be expected... so
don't fret, ladies!
~
The Big Guys ~
Jupiter
is in Aquarius til 1/18/2010. Lucky, expansive Jupiter will be
crossing and re- crossing Chiron and Neptune during 2009, helping to
bring us new ideas in spirituality, religious openness, tolerance and
healing forms of justice.
Jupiter
is in Pisces from 1/19/10 to 6/6/10, brings sensitivity, charity
and healing energy when it comes to our outlook on culture,
education, and social justice. This is a good time to become active
in causes that benefit those less fortunate in the world, and in our communities.
Saturn
in Virgo 'til July 21, 2010 brings our focus to the things of
the earth.. the cleanliness and purity of our physical environment.
These coming years can bring a stronger sense of purpose and
responsibility within our social institutions, government and from
authority figures regarding the sanctity and protection of our mother
earth. A wonderful time this can be!! Let's make conscious
guardianship of our world the central focus for all we do!
