START NOTHING (ALL TIMES ARE PACIFIC STANDARD): 4:01 am to 6:09 am Tues., 7:23 am to 11:39 am Thurs. and 3:11 am to 3:31 pm Sat.
PREAMBLE:
ALL SIGNS: Mercury goes retrograde February 26 through March 20, so start easing up on the urge to start a big project. Restrict plans to quick, easily-accomplished schemes. For many, this retrograde can bring matters from the past. This could be good or bad — judge it by what happened before.
For Aries, this retro can bring a neglected chore or burden. For Taurus, old friends (and maybe a lover) return. For Gemini, a former career/ambition opening. Cancer, a former love or travel or legal situation. Leo, a former financial opportunity or sexual temptation. Virgo, a former mate or opportunity — and one who opposed it. Libra, a former job or employer (or health nuisance). Scorpio, an old flame. Sage, a former neighbourhood or home — a visit to one? Capricorn, forgotten paperwork or travel to old haunts. Aquarius, a former money source. Pisces, a new round of self-questioning (is this me?). Or a former mate or opportunity.
(Pisces’ “is this me?” is real, appropriate, as this sign’s planet [Neptune] has just changed signs in a significant way. Pisces will become more warlike, assertive.)
WEEKLY FORECAST:
ARIES: March 21-April 19
You remain in celebratory mode, Aries, until mid week, when a month of quietude, rest, contemplation and planning begins. So take advantage, Sunday and Monday, of a sparkling and delightful social phase. Friendships, popularity, flirting, optimism and happiness crowd ‘round you. (Both days are bad for money, but excellent for love.) Tuesday starts your month of weariness a little early – and Wednesday brings it full on. Yet both days (and the first half of Thursday) hold easy, smooth, fortunate outcomes. (Careful Tuesday morning predawn PST.) Great time to solve a tax problem or any gov’t difficulty, or to apply for a grant, seek employment in an institution such as a hospital or school, or simply to get along w/o dispute. (Wed. morning is particularly lucky, especially in home, family, real estate and security zones.) Midday Thursday, your energy rises, and stays high until Saturday afternoon. If you have any difficult chores to do, this is the time. Don’t overspend Saturday night. Overall, you should find this month of weariness fairy enjoyable, and unusually social (at least until March 2).
TAURUS: April 20-May 20
You’ve probably been working hard for the last few weeks, Taurus. This ambitious streak continues through Sunday/Monday in quite a fortunate way. These two days could culminate or climax everything you’ve worked towards. You will express yourself well, and could find a social element helps boost you, especially Monday. For example take the boss out for a drink and ask him or her for a pay raise or an enhanced position. Mid week starts a month of celebration of popularity, social delights, flirtations and optimism. Tuesday might mark the beginning of a project in this area. (But read ALL SIGNS above about Mercury’s retro.) Wednesday into Thursday morning offers good luck, happy friends, and all-round satisfaction with where you’ve come in life. But slowed down and retreat from the bustling crowd midday Thursday to late Saturday afternoon (PST) — rest, Lilo, contemplate and plan. This interval will be pretty smooth also, but don’t get into a legal or political argument Friday. It’s quite possible that unattached Taureans will find love in the week ahead.
GEMINI: May 21-June 20
Love, far travel, publishing, higher learning, law, social rituals — these have pleased you over the last month. This Sunday/Monday are the last two days of this trend — and, perhaps, the most potent and fortunate. Dive into these zones — the only obstacles will come if you let bureaucratic or governmental (or controlling) types be part of the mix. The Moon starts it for a few days Tuesday, and the Sun starts it for a few weeks Wednesday: a period of ambition, career, prestige relations and worldly standing. Charge ahead here Tuesday to around dawn Thursday (PST) — good luck rides with you. Hints of happiness arrive midday Thursday to mid-afternoon Saturday. Your popularity, flirty-ness, optimism and good spirits bring happiness. They might also open a door a little to success. One important thing: Mercury, your planet, retrogrades Feb. 26. So don’t start any major projects, in career or otherwise. You can find, over the weeks ahead, that your best career opportunities will have some definite link to the past. Could be an opportunity you passed up sometime ago. Or you could find that you are praised or somehow gained from, a project you completed some time ago. Or, a former boss might enter and offer you something.
CANCER: June 21-July 22
Midweek, Cancer, you leave a zone of secrecy and hidden urges, to enter a month-long place of understanding, love for humanity, profound thoughts, perhaps far travel, higher learning, law and media. A love affair is possible. Sunday/Monday, though, offer rewards from that zone of secrecy, research, finances and sexual temptations. Maybe a successful investment? (To succeed, briefly ignore/reject social avenues.) By Tuesday, that month of understanding begins, and begins with a new Moon, which usually is good for starting new projects — however, Mercury retrogrades next week, so any projects started now will tend to fall into the coils of forgetfulness, delays, missed meetings, etc. Start only what you can finish this week. That said, midweek is blessed with good aspects, so charge ahead with ongoing or new (but short) situations and plans. Love possible, esp. Wednesday! Be ambitious midday Thursday to late afternoon (PST) Saturday — again, aspects are favourable, so dive in, show the boss what you can do. An easy, fortunate week, Cancer. It is also the start of two years during which you will be very serious about your ambitions, and might include a partner in them.
LEO: July 23-Aug. 22
You enter a quiet, mysterious zone mid-week, Leo, a place of financial action, lust (for power or sex) lifestyle and medical choices, of research and valuable, “privileged” information. You are just ending a partnership and opportunity phase, so you might pull another into your project, or find an opportunity now needs effort and commitment, especially financially. This is actually a good development, but realize that Mercury goes retrograde Feb. 26th (25th PST) to March 20. This means you should make any such commitment or investment very soon — Wednesday morning is a good time — and then back away a little. Next week onward will be a bad time to push anything forward. Sunday to dawn Tuesday brings relationships, unexpected meetings, fresh horizons, opportunities and opposition. Sunday’s “okay,” but gets tense this night. Monday is fortunate until just past midday (PST) — esp. in communications with the gov’t, or in a search for investments. Sex might intrigue. Tuesday dawn to midday Thursday brings that zone described in the first sentence above — good luck rides with you, so charge ahead (quietly). Thursday afternoon to Saturday afternoon brings a mellow, wise mood, good judgement, and possibilities of far travel, law, higher learning, media and gentle love. Again, a benign interval. Avoid a wee dispute over law, politics, Friday afternoon.
VIRGO: Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Soon, Virgo (Tuesday onward) you leave a month of drudgery and enter four weeks if exciting meetings, relationships, fresh horizons and opportunities, and possible opposition. However, read the Preamble above: don’t start anything, or make commitments, that you can’t fulfill almost immediately — because a period of confusion, delay, indecision, missed meetings and short supplies exists from Feb. 26 to March 20. Even by early next week, you might notice things slowing down. A good opportunity might return from the past — this one’s worth working on during the “confusion period.” Tackle chores Sunday to dawn Tuesday (PST). You’ll be stressed, but can close out or complete a major task. (The boss might tell you another series of chores is imminent, but not much is likely to come of it. Tuesday to midday Thursday brings the first of the relationships/opportunities I’ve promised — all’s good, so make your bid (for someone’s attention?). Life’s depths slowly emerge to the surface Thursday pm to late afternoon Saturday. Good luck here for finances, sex, pregnancy, surgery, research. These will succeed, but won’t answer your wishes.
LIBRA: Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Two plus days — Sunday to dawn Tuesday — of romance or creativity or a game/sport competition, Libra — and these two days could bring the climax of several weeks of pursuit. Yes, love might climax, or it might be too late. In any case, your best luck here occurs (up to early afternoon (PST) Monday) not in love, but in career and prestige zones. Tackle chores dawn Tuesday to midday Thursday — quick, smooth interval: you’ll succeed! Midweek also starts a month of work, minor health complaints (eat, dress sensibly) machinery and care of dependents. Not a good time to start a new job, but do so if necessary. Midday Thursday to Saturday afternoon brings relationships, opportunities/opposition, relocation themes, and possible public appearances. Again, the stars are benign, so proceed. (I won’t say charge ahead, because your way of advancing in relationships is to slowly pull away, and see who follows. Saturday night, sex is possible! Realize relationships now undergo a major change: in future, bonds will be both deep and mysterious, maybe spiritual, and will have a domestic “flavour.” You might end one, before you start one.
SCORPIO: Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Only two more days (Sunday/Monday) of being “tied down” to home, family needs, real estate, security, and “planting for the future,” Scorpio. You might be nudged to start a new project here, but only a quick, minor undertaking will succeed. (You need to finish before next week.) From Feb. 26 to March 20, delays, mistakes, indecision, etc., will prevail, effectively halting most projects. (However, you’ll hardly notice, as your mind will turn to pleasure, beauty, fun, etc. An old flame is likely to appear.) Tuesday dawn to midday Thursday brings romance, a creative surge, gambling instinct, beauty and pleasure, charming kids, sports and games — very fortunately — and starts a month of the same. Tackle chores Thursday pm to mid-afternoon Saturday. This zone, work, employment, machinery and daily health, has recently “received” your pleasure and creative planet (for 13 years) and your communications planet (for 2 years). You might romance a co-worker, or become more creative in your work.
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This is an easy, mellow, but significant week, Sage. Sunday/Monday might bring the last few weeks’ efforts to a climax — communications are finally answered, paperwork brings results or you finish a long report, you take that trip you’ve planned, etc. Your best luck these two days involves money, investments (or sex) perhaps with a Gemini or Virgo. Tuesday begins a month of domesticity — home, family, garden, security, real estate, etc. These are highly indicated Tuesday dawn to midday Thursday (PST) — and in a fortunate way. (Your ruler of home and family, etc. is now in Aries, your romance, pleasure and creative sign, for the next 13 years. Draw your own conclusions!) Romance, beauty, creativity are slated for Thursday pm to Saturday afternoon. Again, the aspects are benevolent, so dive in with happy unconcern! (However, realize Friday daytime, that an investment or sexy person might be the wrong one.) Saturday eve into the weekend, tackle chores. Begin to contemplate “pruning” some relationships and situations from your life, and “planting” new ones. In the month ahead, you might revisit a former home.
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20
Your money focus might climax Sunday/Monday, Cap, perhaps bringing or setting up a satisfying reward. (Though the best luck might hover around a partner or opportunity, Monday daytime — night in Europe. It’s a communication, it might open the door a crack.) But by dawn Tuesday, a new set of weeks begins, which will focus on paperwork, trips and errands, communications and casual friends/acquaintances. Tuesday to midday Thursday highlights these in very fortunate ways. Whether this good luck continues in the weeks ahead, is anyone’s guess, because a period of delays, wrong addresses, snafus, indecision and supply shortages occurs from February 26 to March 20. During that period, you’ll be handling things from the past (especially contacts from the past, who might seek you out) but you’ll stumble if you try to do something new. So if you have important missives to send, calls to make, or paperwork to achieve, do it NOW — or at least before Feb. 23. Life nudges you toward home, family and nature, rest and contemplation, Thursday pm to Saturday afternoon. (This night is made for romance.)
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 18
Your high energy and clout, your charm and effectiveness, are at a peak Sunday to pre-dawn Tuesday (PST). Normally, this would be a great time to start a big project, and/or enlist allies. But a period of delays, mistakes, indecision and other obstacles technically starts February 26, lasting to March 20. This influence can “kill” a young project. (“Technically” — as the effects can start a few days in advance.) Tuesday begins a month of emphasis on possessions, money, book learning and casual sex. Dive into this Tuesday to noon Thursday (PST) as all aspects are benign. Thursday pm to Saturday afternoon brings errands, trips, communications, paperwork and casual acquaintances — again, a smooth, easy path for you. Friday afternoon, something unexpected and lucky, or a tendency to argue over politics, religion, or a work place situation. Be cool.
This zone of travel and communications, etc., will grow for the next 13 years, so get yourself a good, reliable vehicle, either now or after March 20. (After better.) A money opportunity you missed might return soon — in March.
PISCES: Feb. 19-March 20
Sunday/Monday might leave you feeling tired, weary, and alone. (A cold?) But good aspects indicate that you can flow smoothly through this, and even gain from gov’t or head office contacts, requests. This is the end of a month of weariness, Pisces. Tuesday will start a month of energy, charisma, and romantic attractiveness. However, your partnership planet, Mercury, will bring delay, mistakes, indecision, etc., from February 26 to March 20. This hints that new attractions will probably not last, but that a former partner, spouse, might return. (If so, judge whether to re-unite by the reason(s) you split.) A former opportunity (or enemy, competition) might return also. But that’s all a week away. This week brings energy and charisma and clout. Especially Tuesday dawn to midday Thursday. Get out, see and be seen, give good projects a boost. However, avoid starting a new project now, unless it’s small and can complete in a few days. Chase money, buy/sell, read to learn, count your possessions, make love to a casual, sometime lover Thursday pm to Saturday afternoon. Again, your path is smooth and fortunate, but don’t push a romantic interest too hard Friday — smile if you’re accepted — yet.
THE END.
AFTERAMBLE:
What a beautiful thing this earth is, this round marble of marvels. I thank God for it.
And there’s the rub: who/what is God? The nearest we’ve come to Him or Her or It in human form was Jesus. So an entire region of faith, with many sub regions, came into being. It was called Christianity.
Few Christians know that other Christ like figures with God-like stature or powers occurred on about the same time in other cultures. The majority of these, I think, were called sun gods. (Don’t quote me on this — historically, I only have comic book level knowledge.)
Some Christians, I suspect, would insist that only Christ is to be worshipped — not as a conduit to God, but in and of himself. Jesus is God. I don’t know. This sounds like a fairytale written for the purpose of getting kids in Sunday school to believe a certain thing.
If there were other Christs — and there seems to have been — it would say He was one of several conduits of a phenomenon that was worldwide. Remember, during his lifetime his influence probably didn’t reach beyond present day Israel, Jordan, and Syria. – perhaps 1/10 of the then civilized western — Mediterranean – world.
India, China, Japan, and their closer neighbours were unaffected by Christ. With Russia thrown in, the rest of the world sported a more much larger, diverse population, as advanced technologically as the Mediterranean countries.
I always feel guilty that I don’t pray to Jesus. Is it arrogance to want to bypass Jesus and go straight to God? Or to bypass any figure head of any religion?
My problem is that I don’t believe in a God with any particular personality. In a way I don’t even see that God has a separate soul. Perhaps God is the collective will of the entire universe to involve itself with itself, and to glory in the miracle of existence. I sometimes think God is karma, but could the reverse be true? No. Karma, nature, reincarnation, all come close to God, but are not God.
And I suppose it is just Catholic guilt that makes me feel bad about not worshipping Christ. I admire him 1000%. I do believe he had control over spirit/matter, and that his connection to God was potent, simple, and natural. He has affected over 2000 years of human beliefs, and still has billions of followers. I’d love to sit down with him sometime, just to be with him. But I never pray to him. Is that a sin? am I arrogant?
(Actually, there’s a bit more: in meditation once I asked my guide, Nima, to show me how I could recognize Christ in this other world. He’s here, she said. In front of me burned a five or 6 foot tall blue flame. That’s all I remember. I don’t know if I asked a — the — any — question or not.)
