For the week of March 5th thru the 12th, be sure to read your Rising Sign as well:

Aries

If you are trying to make sense of those compelling dreams and that general feeling of uneasiness, sometimes all that is being asked of you is to pause and slow down. Parse out some of the symbols, the signs and the portents. Just trying to ignore them will probably not make them go away. No matter how busy you are, you are going to have to give them their say. They are trying to get you to pay attention. And then once you see what the problem is, then you can do something about it. Or at least know what ghosts or demons you are dealing with. And even if you are not going to be able to get all the answers right away. Know that at least you are on track to finding out. 

Taurus

It is easy to get distracted by our hopes and wishes, our fantasies and dreams. And it can be disappointing when these don’t necessarily live up to our expectations. It may be that sometimes we have such unrealistic expectations of ourselves and our lives that we lose sight of those things that are most meaningful to us. In this way we are all being asked to slow down and take stock of our lives. To recalibrate our inner gps systems. And that can begin by simply noticing where you might have got off track. And what you might want to do to get back on track again. Sometimes all it takes is paying attention to your priorities. Both the practical priorities as well as those things that bring deeper meaning to your life. Sometimes it’s simpler than it seems. 

Gemini

It may seem that in the process of the doing that you can lose yourself. You are heading into a very pro-active period now that Mars is in your sign. But this week and next you are also being reminded to focus on those things that make your life more meaningful. And to not lose sight of that. It also means not to be distracted by those things that can lead you astray, and make you forget what the whole purpose is. The real purpose. Not the wistful fantasy or the acclaim. In some way you are being asked to slow down and take stock of your life. To be present. Even in the hubbub of your daily life. Even in the midst of conflict. Notice the small things that are here with you right now. For that is where you are needing to be. Present. 

Cancer

We are now heading into the last quarter moon. The time of the month when we are re-setting the stage and sorting out those things that are no longer relevant from those that you might wish to see further cultivated. As we move into the dark of the moon it may feel like even some of the ideas that you have been holding, or things that you thought were absolutely true, are beginning to unravel, and are no longer able to hold water. This can bring a moment of consternation as you attempt to regain your perspective. This is a way of you doing this inner cleaning and sorting out. Removing those things that were merely sidetracking you, and leading you astray, in order to be able to get yourself back on track, on the path that you were meant to be on all along. 

Leo

Fantasies and the imagination are trying to take hold as we move into the dark of the moon this week. So can worries, fears and misguided perceptions. Make sure you are seeing things clearly and that you have all the facts before making important decisions. It’s so easy to get off track these days. The last quarter moon is a good time to let go and release those things that you no longer need, and may be taking up too much space. And that includes any negative space invaders taking up residence in your mind and heart. This is a good week to cast out the demons, toss out the trash, and do a thorough cleansing, and rebalancing of the books and ledgers. This will then make room for better things to come in and take root in your mind and heart going forward, and help to recalibrate all those visions, hopes and wishes for the future. 

Virgo

People and things and the whole outside world has been so confoundingly insufferable this past year, it’s all a Virgo can do to make sense of the insensible. Just when you think you’ve got one thing figured out, along comes another piece of the puzzle that changes the whole picture. Living with uncertainty can be difficult for a Virgo who wants things to be in order. But there can also be something to be said for being forced to be still and be present. To notice things. To relish the small things that make your life more meaningful. To see more, to feel more and sense more. We’re all being asked to regain our perspective this week, and get our lives back on track to the best of our ability. But to do so in a way that is well thought out and planned. And without losing the appreciation for those small meaningful things we have gained.  

Libra

Is there something that you’ve been ignoring, or were hoping would go away on its own? Perhaps a lingering health problem.. a misunderstanding with a co-worker, a vague worry or dissatisfaction? Has a general feeling of uncertainty made it difficult to make any concrete plans? If there are any vague and uncertain health issues, do make it a priority to seek advice, make that appointment, whatever it takes to ease your mind and relieve your concerns. And if there is something that you can do about your problems, then do it. Next week we will look at the best ways and means to support your well-being, and promote better work and daily habits with the New Moon. In the mean time use the last quarter moon to tie up loose ends, and make time and space in your life to just stop and be present. To be more mindful. The last quarter moon is a good time for cleaning and clearing, and making space for better things to come. 

Scorpio

Is there something that you have not been seeing clearly? Or some area of your life where you have been having unrealistic expectations? Perhaps seeing what you would prefer to see, and ignoring the rest? Or conversely, seeing the worst, and imagining all sorts of evil doers lurking behind the shrubbery or around every corner trying to take advantage of you? This is a good week to clear the air, and relieve worries to the best of your ability. If you are worried or concerned about someone in particular, sometimes the best way to help others, is by simply being there for them. Next week we will talk more about using your amazing powers of visualization and imagery to your advantage. In the mean time, use this week to create meaningful and sacred time in your life, with your loved ones, or by doing those activities that bring you joy. Relish those small  but meaningful moments and experiences that your life has to offer. 

Sagittarius

This week we are all being asked to step back, pause, and regain our perspective. Are there areas in your life where you have possibly taken on more than you bargained for, and now find yourself under water, over-extended or overwhelmed? Or is it just life that seems so all-consuming these days? In order to get that perspective, it will be necessary to slow down, be present, and not ignore all those small things that need paying attention to. They’re probably not going to go away by themselves. Doing this important work, tying up any loose ends, taking care of business and clearing out the things that you’ve been putting on the back burner, will allow you to get your life and your goals back on track again. 

Capricorn

What are you needing to release in order to get your life back on track again? Are there dreams or wistful wonderings that are seeming to unravel and come apart at the seams? Things may not be all that they seem, and there still may be ways to bring you more in alignment with your dreams. But in the mean time, if you have wandered off track, or find yourself needing to recalibrate, stop and pause and pay attention. This may require you to slow down and pay attention to what is right in front of you. It may be that the thing that would bring you most meaning has been there with you all along. You just didn’t realize that that was what that was. 

Aquarius

In some areas of our lives it could feel like our lives are seeming to unravel, or that hopes and wishes that we had banked on seem to be getting away from us. Before you throw in the towel, realize that we are all in this period of readjustment. There may be some things, perhaps even some hopes and dreams, that are needing to be released and no longer serve you in a purposeful way. You are gradually bringing yourself in alignment with the hopes and dreams that serve the person you are now. But in order to realize what those are you are sifting through the priorities of your life. What does it mean for you to live a more meaningful life and lifestyle? What are those things that are truly most important to you? 

Pisces

Living a more peaceful, a more meaningful lifestyle, without the distractions and vicissitudes of our daily lives, doesn’t seem to be too much to ask for. But even if you manage to seclude yourself away and close all the blinds, life still manages to insidiously creep its way inside. Even if things are okay right now, there’s no telling what tomorrow will bring! Living with that sort of uncertainty is what we have all been confronted with over the past year. But navigating uncharted and uncertain waters is something that Pisces is actually pretty adept at. Sometimes it’s just a matter of trusting your unique navigational systems to be able to bring you where you need to be.
