How to
Treat your Libra |
|
|
|
Your
lovely Libra man or maiden longs to walk side by side with you
through life. "Alone" is not in Libra's bountiful
vocabulary, nor is "lonely." A life of solitude is just not
acceptable, and if your Libra does not feel sufficiently loved,
you're sure to hear about it one way or another. If she doesn't find
you sitting lovestruck by her side, she'll be fluttering her lashes
at the nearest handsome beau, or lavishing gifts upon herself to feel
sufficiently adored. If he finds you inattentive or yawning at his
words, he will undoubtedly start flirting with the nearest skirt!
Libra
is a child of Venus, and will not hesitate to use all the charms the
goddess of love possesses in order to get what she wants. Beauty,
grace, wit, style and all the wiles of a temptress or tempter are at
your Libra's command. How can you possibly hold onto such a romantic creature?
First
of all, you must be fair with your Libra. She is highly aware of
balance and harmony in all things and can detect the slightest hint
of inequity. And be open - your Libra is so focused on YOU that he
can surely read your mind anyway. It's especially helpful, too, if
you are appreciative of all things beautiful - music, art and people
- (especially your Venusian Prince or Princess!). Or if art doesn't
grab you, your mind must be active and entertaining enough to keep
your Libra interested in everything you have to say. Then again, if
you are a terrific lover, you can forget about the rest!
The
bottom line is, feed your Libra's insatiable need for beauty, love
and partnership and you're home free. You can get away with criticism
if it's done with a hilarious sense of humor. You can get away with
flirting if you flirt doubly (make that triply) with your Libra. And
you can get away with boredom if you lavish your Libra with anything
pleasing to the senses. It's as simple as that!
Help
your Libra with making decisions. Participate in his schemes. Make
loving suggestions while she is decorating or dressing. But most of
all, make sure your Libra feels adored - and you will be rewarded
with one of the most charming, generous, beautiful, handsome,
intelligent, witty and doting mates the Zodiac has to offer!

How to
Treat your Scorpio |
|
|
|
Your
Scorpio embodies the characteristics of the Ruler of the
Underworld... Hades, Pluto - any name you call him by, he's one you
don't want to mess with! This is one small, passionate arachnid who
packs a whallop.
Now,
I know Scorpio gets a bad rap. That's because people need to look
beyond the stinger and get to the meat. And the meat is tasty. First
of all, without resorting to actually devouring your Scorpio
(although she'd love it), take into consideration these enticing
Scorpionic traits: Your Scorpio is deeply intuitive, sensual,
mysterious, sexy, prosperity conscious, able to make dramatic life
changes, a powerful ally, and - yes - deeply spiritual. The key word
here is deep....deep as the ocean herself.
So
why wouldn't you want to mess with someone who sounds so alluring?
Why should you think twice about badmouthing or - dare I say -
leaving such a one? Because everything runs deep with Scorpio. All
the good, and all the bad. Feelings are strong, and last forever!
When you are aligned with his wishes, you are his champion, his
partner, his war-buddy. When you cross the line, you might as well
hide out for a year until her venom wears off. Just think of your
Scorpio as the Godfather (as in the movie.) You get the picture....
you know what happens to traitors... Don't go there!
So,
now that you know that you must be nice, what is it that your
Scorpio needs from you? First of all, let her know she is sexy,
desirable, alluring and powerful. Tell him that the world is putty in
his hands and that he is the ultimate sex-god. Venture into the
unknown with your Scorpio. Discover dark hidden realms and uncover
secrets.... be a spy with her. Or better yet, hide out so he can have
the pleasure of finding you. Be available to satisfy your Scorpio's
sudden urges, and believe in her neverending quest for self-discovery
and the ultimate in spiritual fulfillment. Easy enough?
Don't
forget to dance and have fun with your Scorpio... they do know how
to have a good time... But always, always approach with caution. You
will be rewarded with plenty of powerful and moving experiences,
devotion, true friendship and a loyal friend - for life.

Justice in
the Tarot |
|
|
|
This
image of Justice (from the Cosmic Tarot) portrays what she means to
me more than any other I've seen - because the focus is so clearly on
her eyes. In many decks, she is shown blindfolded. (I suppose this is
because Justice is "blind" to everything but Justice itself!)
The
way I see it, true justice takes everyone involved into pure, honest
consideration, and as such - she needs to have all her senses
completely intact, and see all. Is it right to merely punish the
offender, and not make amends to the offended? Do we consider the
needs of the victim, or are we content with revenge for the crime?
Are we truly seeing what NEEDS to be done to make things right?
Justice is impartial, fair, dispassionate, cool, and firm in her
decisions. She cares about those she places under her scrutiny.
Whoever
draws this card - consider yourself watched - or watch yourself!
Perhaps you need to consider every angle, and every player a bit more
carefully. Maybe the hatchet will come down on you! Even in family
matters - this card might pop up just to tell you that it's time to
sincerely consider the needs of everyone, and act accordingly.
Selfishness, unbridled emotions and unfair words and deeds just won't do!!
Depending
on the cards coming before and after, this card can mean justice
served, or justice coming up. Either way, think about those ironclad
decisions - like marriage, divorce, agreements entered into or
broken, promises made, and punishments doled out. Take a good look at
how you treat anyone who depends on you to even things out and make
it all right. When you make your stand - weigh carefully, or sooner
or later - Karma herself will weigh for you!

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 |
|
 |
|
Venus
is in Virgo 'til 10/14, bringing greater focus to the little
details of life - especially as they pertain to beauty and pleasant
relationships. Try to avoid the expectation of perfection, and
instead put plans in place in your mind, and follow through with love
and devotion!
Mars in Cancer
('til 10/16) can contribute to increased feelings of nationalism and
sentimentality. Issues of property and heritage may come up as well.
Mars is somewhat sensitive, and perhaps not strong here, especially
for macho guys who may feel particularly vulnerable to female power.
Venus
in Libra from 10/15 to 11/8 is loving love - glowing with charm
and grace - seemingly irresistible, and doing whatever it takes to
look good and keep everyone else happy - and this may be just alright
for Mars in Leo from 10/17/09 to 6/17/2010 (!!!) - LONG
retrograde from 12/20/09 to 3/10/2010! Anyway, we should all be
getting along and having fun. Males will want to really shine, and
egos may seem especially large - but certainly family matters will
take on increased importance for men, as well as the desire to
maintain a spotless reputation... Look good, be good, do good!
Future
Forecast for Love
During
the first week in October, Neptune/Jupiter/Chiron - still
conjunct in Aquarius and all retrograde - are quincunx Mars, while
Mars trines Uranus and septiles Venus, bringing a need to tie up
loose ends in close relationship, perhaps through surprising means.
This is a good time reflect, to reveal hidden truths, and to find a
tactful and sensitive way to make your true intentions known.
The
second week, Venus conjuncts Saturn as they oppose Uranus and
sextile Mars -a good time to act on the previous revelations,
make new friends, and do whatever it takes to make your most valued
friendships last. Changes may be met with resistance (particularly
from females), but kindness, logic and good sense are likely to
reign, unless you choose to go against the grain. For the creative
and the brave, taking new risks may really pay off.
During
the third week, Venus is square Pluto and octile Neptune/Chiron/Jupiter
while Mars is quincunx Pluto, bringing feelings of irritation
and frustration, which can be easily cured by getting very cozy with
the one you love. However, if uncomfortable things need to get done,
there may be forces in line to hold some of us back. Planning and
patience are in order, and perhaps decreased expectations.
During
the 4th week, Venus trines Jupiter and quintiles both Mars
and Pluto, giving increased power and energy for anything you may
wish to pursue, however there is danger of over-exertion,
over-optimism and even obsession. (Sometimes it's better to keep our
dreams in our heads!)
~
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.
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!
