How to
Treat your Pisces |
|
|
|
The
Pisces gives love constantly. The moment you withhold love from your
Pisces, or treat your Pisces even a little bit harshly, you've opened
the door to great sadness . Pisceans don't understand cruelty - even
if it comes unwittingly from them. And the sensitive nature of Pisces
makes him susceptible to great hurt. If you want to keep him around,
be aware of your words and actions, and your Pisces' reaction to
them. If he slinks off and hides, you know there's some serious
heartache going on!
The
Pisces needs compassion, water, creative or spiritual surroundings,
an atmosphere of peace and calm, and ample opportunities to show off
her many talents and ideas. Pisces loves to learn, and needs to be
provided with information and ideas to help keep the creative juices flowing.
So
be sure to provide your Pisces with imaginative, uplifting and
beautiful entertainment. Don't overwhelm her with frightening images
such as one might see in a violent movie. Pisces would rather not
dwell on such things, and is much healthier when exposed to natural,
peaceful or spiritual imagery.
Feed
your Pisces with love and kindness, a sincere interest in his many
dreams and ideals, respect for her creations, quiet, secluded
outings, romantic conversation and your own spiritual idealism. Wake
your sleepy, dreamy night-fish up in the morning, help your Pisces
find the way in crowded places, guide him through confusing times and
hold her hand while crossing the street. You will be rewarded with a
sweet, gentle and unconditional love.

How to
Treat your Aries |
|
|
|
Your
Aries is a highly intuitive, fiery, fast-acting, independent person
who needs freedom above all. Aries people can stand alone in the
world, and take pride in their ability to go through life without
leaning on others. They always have a plan of action. If your Aries
is not moving fast physically, you can be sure that mind is brimming
with ideas. For Aries, the head is what it's all about, and Aries
wants to put every idea into motion.
Let
your Aries know how wonderful and special she/he is. In spite of
that bold, confident appearance, or perhaps because of it, Aries can
be somewhat the loner and not get support when needed. Also, your
Aries may never feel truly complete or accomplished at anything
because of the high standards he sets for himself. So, feed him with
praise to boost his ego, and offer your loving encouragement to fan
her passionate fire. Then, allow your Aries to follow those dreams,
and offer helpful pointers and solutions wherever needed. You might
feel invisible and unappreciated, but don't despair. Your Aries feels
as if you are a part of her, and so may not understand the need to
show gratitude. Just notice the way she glows inside when you give
your advice, or the loving looks he gives you, and his determination
to do even more. To Aries, this is the biggest thank you of all.
Most
importantly, do everything possible to make your Aries feel
unfettered. Like all fire signs, Aries can't stand to be led around
or confined - unless as a means to an end. Let your Aries come up
with the idea first, if possible. Otherwise, if you want your Aries
to do something, ask gently! Your Aries has a passionate heart and
the best of intentions, yet is a very sensitive, instinctual and
intuitive individual. Your thoughtful love will be rewarded with
heroic efforts and a proud devotion to your needs.

The Moon
in the Tarot |
|
|

~
Going Within ~
the
Moon represents the emotional or astral body - the soul's memory of
all earthly feeling. This is where the deepest human feelings reside,
in the Moon's play of light and shadow, her dance with the Sun. In
many decks, the Moon is portrayed as two dogs baying at the Moon, one
wild - representing our primal, uncontrolled emotional responses, and
the other tame - to show the civilized restraint that we as social
beings are capable of.
Imagine
you are struck by a strong emotion... surprise, sadness, shock,
fear, anger - whatever feels most familiar to you. Now feel the
actual feeling - and think about your outer, visible response. While
some of us react immediately, many people instinctively close up and
hide. Often, we need time to withdraw from others - to go within and
sort out the feelings welling up inside. Sometimes there is outright embarrassment.
The
Moon is internal, thoughtful - busy getting in touch with the swirl
and tumble of feelings within her. In astrological terms, she is
Zodiacal Cancer, the crab (another key image in this card) - whose
moods change with the lunar phases and who often hides in her shell.
She cares deeply for others, and in caring can become entangled in
their needs - losing track of her own. Or, she can drown piteously in
her own problems - tangled in a sea of emotion.
But
however she may react, there is a withdrawal from the world on some
level. Even in anger one tends to close up and shut everyone else
out. The emotions take hold, seen or unseen, and we are essentially
all alone. With the Moon, we go within, and dare not let anyone -
outside our most intimate circle - into our innermost souls, and even
they may feel left out for a time. Fear can creep in if we have
difficulty coming to terms with the feelings that hold us in their grip.
But
while we are immersed in her ocean, we may also see things more
clearly through the reflective forces of the Moon as she reaches in
and touches us in our solitude. Relationships come into focus, and
those things we've kept hidden even to ourselves are illuminated in a
dreamy misty light - and beg for attention. This is the time to take
action - when the lunar forces are at their peak, and we are sure,
through and through, about what needs must be met. The Moon is an
essential part of you. She is the concern that wakes you up at night,
the nagging desire that fuels your imagination, and the primal,
natural forces of emotion that keep you alive. You may hide from her,
howl at her or hail her with joy, but you cannot deny her her power!

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 February 15th, 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 |
|
 |
|
Venus
in Pisces from 2/12 to 3/7 is more inclined to bend to the needs
of other, and find ways to maintain peace and harmony. While she's
busy dreaming of a better world, take time to treat her to a little
special time for herself.
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. To make the most of Mars in Leo, try to keep it
fun and playful, and leave the stress behind .
Venus
in Aries 3/12 through the end of March is bold, self-directed,
and unstoppable. Loving partners may feel more "fiery", and
could be looking for a little extra excitement - keep it close to home!
image
above is from the Tarot Mitologico
Future
Forecast for Love
During
the first week in March, Venus conjuncts Uranus with
Jupiter/Sun not far behind in Pisces, and trines Mars, bringing
added interest and intelligence to our connections with loved ones
and the world. Speak your heart to others, and share your wisdom openly.
The
second week, Venus opposes Saturn and squares Pluto,
bringing solemnity and possibly a desire for change in relationships.
There may be power struggles or intrigue, and honesty and empathy
will be the only cure for misunderstandings.
During
the third week, Mars sextiles Saturn. This is a terrific
time to network, begin a new project or routine, make solid plans,
and take hold of your dreams.
During
the 4th week, Venus sextiles Neptune/Chiron, and Jupiter
sextiles N.Node & quintiles Pluto.. Healing and caring for
others may become a priority. Open your mind and heart, take right
action, and see how easily a difficult situation can be changed for
the better!
~
The Big Guys ~
Jupiter
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!
