Horoscope
February 26-March 4, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: Like an old-fashioned quilt, this beginning is made of the endings of other things. Shall we mourn the old more than we celebrate the new? Shall we repine for the past rather than look to our uncertain future? Shall we succumb to distress over all that never came to pass instead of planning for what might be? Let’s pull up our socks and be bigger than our disappointments. Let’s collect our wits, employ our compassion and make the most of what is to come.
Aries: Like Hamlet, you have bad dreams. Unlike Hamlet, you’re not the star of a tragedy. Instead, you’re involved in a complicated romantic drama. It’s more likely you’re the lost queen of a tiny island nation whose heroes have searched for you all your life. Dazzle the world.
Taurus: You know what you need, right? If you can tap the vein of community sentiment and commitment all your woes will be reduced, even if they don’t go wholly away. Are you person enough to reach out to those around you who long to offer help?
Gemini: You’re still a contender, but you have a playing field you’ve never seen before and a whole new set of rules to work with. Take your adaptivity to the next level and get the drop on all that is to come: invent your own game. Use the force with a will!
Cancer: Meditate on the big picture. Wrestle with the abstract issues. Ground yourself in the values of the larger community whilst committing to molding the whole into a functional model of the potential. Just because you only imagine it doesn’t make it untrue.
Leo: These are murky times and the issues keep shifting and changing shape as you identify them. Like any good particle physicist, you ought to know that you can know how fast a situation is developing or you can know where it is right now, but you can’t know both.
Virgo: Does the world come down on you like a ton of bricks? Are you not enough of a team player? Could you scream to hear these things said when you’ve never tried for anything but to better the whole? Use a kinder gentler approach to get from here to there.
Libra: You want to look and feel your best. You want to make a good impression. You want to do more with what you already have, though you’re not sure you have the time or the resources. Is it worth worrying yourself into a minor tizzy? Let go and find the window.

Scorpio: It’s exciting to be so much adrift in the sea of possibilities. You’re titillated by not knowing what comes next or where it will go if you take hold. You’re entranced by the uncertainties all around you. Reinvent yourself to your heart’s delight. Now is the time!
Sagittarius: It’s the same old story, yes. But you’ve re-crafted the focus and the trajectory and now it has the potential to be a teaching tool as well as entertainment as well as a record of all you’ve become based on what you’ve been through. Take pride.
Capricorn: It’s time to get back to basics and buckle down to learn what you need to know to take the next step. Is it frustrating for you to discover that you’re the teacher, the student and the text? There are no set hours, nor objectives you don’t create for yourself.
Aquarius: When will you give up and let the current take its own path? If you choose never–and that’s a real choice, though not the only one–you’re committing to a feat of engineering and will and a domination of consciousness over nature. Not bad, but not easy.
Pisces: Look, touch, smell and listen. There’s a lot changing and little you can recognize from moment to moment. Embedded in the confusion is a pearl of great price–worth the struggle and the rigidity which has pinned you to your life like a collected butterfly.

Horoscope
February 19-25, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: What’s the right thing to do when the old structures stop holding up and there’s no strategy devised to replace them? What’s the right process for navigating the demands of daily living amid the heart’s longings and the mind’s ideals? What will the final accounting for your performance reveal, all detours included? You’re capable of using the foundation data to fertilize arrays of responsive tactics. You’re ready to evaluate both baby and bathwater to get the most from your future.
Aries: It walks, talks and migrates like a duck — but it might be a teal all the same. Let your preconceptions languish alone while you use Beginner’s Mind to see through the artifice and polish to the heart of the matter. Get ready to fall for change.
Taurus: The weight of the world has been on your shoulders. You’ve structured every minute to make the most of your time and commitments. Now you’re seeing the necessities float away like spent petals from a blossoming plum. Make a new path.
Gemini: It doesn’t have to be your baby, but you like the idea of being smart enough and good enough that you could do this your way. If that’s the route you choose, you may need some special equipment to get you from here to there. Shop wisely.
Cancer: Is it time? Are you ready to take the plunge? Were there other factors you waited on? Open your heart to the sensations of reassessment at the most fundamental levels. You can’t run from the past, but you might be able to integrate it. Go there.
Leo: It’s not your fault you’re not on top of your game. It’s not your fault you’ve been under the weather. It’s not your fault everything takes longer than anyone can imagine. Even so, you’re in the driver’s seat and it’s still your turn to pick up the pieces.
Virgo: You’ve been under interesting pressure. It’s like what olives go through to become extra virgin, cold-pressed superstars. It’s not too late to change your mind about what you want to harvest from your soul, and what you’d like to make of that product.
Libra: Have your dreams been pointing out your shortcomings? Have your ideals been reshaped by gravity and time? Have you wondered if you’re ever going to get out from under the rock you’re pushing uphill? There’s a solution within reach. Reframe.

Scorpio: Destiny wears many faces. Yours speaks to others with a message of resolve and determination. You can do what needs doing, and you can make it contagious. Stop looking for the future in the eyes of others. Start using the mirror to give yourself hope.
Sagittarius: You don’t have to cancel what you want. Dreams deferred may taste all the sweeter for having to be laid down — think vintage Porto. This is no excuse for lollygagging or repining. Work harder to prepare for the good times to come. Wear wool.
Capricorn: You’re in the spotlight, even though that’s not your preference. You’re the go-to person, though you’d rather hide in a tree. You’re the ultimate authority while you question the very nature of the hierarchy. It can be reconciled, with diligence and warmth.
Aquarius: You ought to be focused and productive. You wish you had the big picture more firmly in hand. You desire only the best practices in every part of your day. But you’re compromising and gerrymandering and trying too hard. Take a deep breath.
Pisces: It’s the nature of the beast to pick on the pointless and to direct attention to what lies in the past. It’s up to you to go forward with light and hope and joy in the face of minor dissatisfaction and myriad complaints about the laws of thermodynamics in application.

Horoscope
February 12-18, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: There’s a tendency to see your loved one as being more combative than usual, to your having to compromise more than usual. The funny thing is, your loved one feels the same way. Are you both right? Or silly? If you can triangulate by stepping outside your box of safety zones and comfort levels, you may find an altogether different take on the situation. This is a good time to find ways to assert your independence while celebrating your connectivity. Throw a party.
Aries: You’re coming from behind and you can’t be stopped by anything less than your own sense of what’s necessary and/or right. You’re on top of your game, but you have a guilty sensation nagging you at the back of your cerebellum. Retrofit.
Taurus: It’s not a bird or a plane; it’s the ever-increasing capability you yourself have developed and now display all unknowing. Your alter ego understands more than you know and can apply these principles even when you’re asleep. Check in with your favorite restaurant.
Gemini: You walked the walk for so long you can’t remember what your original gait looked or felt like. Now it’s time to correct for over-adapting and compensating. Now it’s time to right yourself in the name of cosmic justice. Now it’s time to give yourself permission.
Cancer: If you opened your heart any more widely to the forces of love and the possibilities of growth embedded therein, the darned thing might fall completely out. Establish good boundaries. Respect yours and those of your partner. Wining and dining may save the day.
Leo: You could if you wanted to, but you’re fed up with the extraneous pressure and the ignorant kibitzing. You want to make the most of your life, but you’re trammeled by the ideals and ideologies of others. If you can’t get in through the window, you can try the door.
Virgo: Is it time to try something completely different? Is it time to get out of the rat race, off the treadmill and far, far from the madding crowd? What tactical maneuvers are left in your arsenal worth attempting? Do you need to go back to school to learn more?
Libra: It might be love in the air, or it could be some kind of invisible gas causing you to think you’re more deeply engaged in your relationship than ever. You’re not wrong, but you might not be as right as you thought. Listen to your partner respectfully. Plan.

Scorpio: It’s not a dream, or even a nightmare. This is the sum total of what your choices have helped you to make of the present. If it’s not what you want, you’ll need to keep making choices until you get to where you do want to be. Listen to your dreams.
Sagittarius: You’re near the top of your field. You’re aces with the sticky wickets you’ve been pitching at. You’re ready for each and every challenge that rolls down the pike. But you still don’t feel like you’ve got the optimal rhythm going. Reflect Sunday.
Capricorn: You would if you could, but you can’t–or at least that’s what you’ve learned from early response and analysis. If you could, would you jump back in and make it all good? If you could, would you get with the program and get out of the rut you’re in?
Aquarius: It’s more complicated than it looks and easier than you think. It’s like the Rubik’s Cube, really. So re-approach the situation with fresh eyes and fresh allies. You’ll find there’s something unexpected after Monday, which allows you more choice, more change.
Pisces: It could have been all about the fluffy, soft and happy things in life. It could have, but now it’s about salvaging what you can and releasing what you can’t. Don’t blame yourself, it was the times and the tides doing that shifting, circling dance all over again.

Horoscope
February 5-11, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: You have a dream. You’ve invested your resources in getting closer to your goals. You’ve talked a swell game. But will you have the goods to deliver when it’s put up or shut up time? Your charm is in order, so you’ll be able to show your work to its best advantage, but you know need something solid to back up the chatter. Give yourself extra time to make reality from your ideologies. Eschew the critique phase until you have something concrete. Believe.
Aries: It wasn’t just a fantasy. It was the effort of a community to bring itself forward. You were the catalyst. Will you continue to make of yourself that lever with which the whole world might be moved? Will you become the word made flesh? Debate and deliver.
Taurus: You know you want to, but are you really good for it? You’ve been pushed into a corner and you’re at pains to make it understood that you’re worth the extra effort. Whom will you convince from where you stand, or sit, right now? Ask your favorite Capricorn.
Gemini: You had a dream. Now you have a bunch of half-realized programs and some platitudes you know better than to be spouting at present. Can you find it in your heart of hearts to separate the sheep from the goats for herd-building purposes? Call Monday.
Cancer: Pretend you can have anything you want, in any amount that would fulfill you. Do you only find more issues with getting your wishes granted, or are you at rest as you vision the future made complete? Call yourself to task. Become more.
Leo: It isn’t you who made it such a problem. It won’t be you who garners full credit for taking care of business. Yet you have an obligation to see your commitments through. You have a responsibility to the greater good. Don’t be afraid to do your best.
Virgo: The scene has been set. Are you a spear carrier or are you the protagonist? Are you the director or the assistant stage-left dresser? You can do as much or as little as your conscience directs you. You can stay or run away. You can reach out to a Pisces.
Libra: Is this your real life? Are you doing what you do on purpose, or have you lost your way and found yourself running on auto-pilot? Is it time to reevaluate your position? Is it time to set a new course? Do you have the tools on hand to make the change?

CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS |
Scorpio: It could have been easy. Instead, it’s like going back to school. You have lots to learn, and not everyone is friendly. But you test well, you have good materials retention, you gain allies with your hard work and loyal demeanor. Play to your strengths.
Sagittarius: It isn’t just hype. There’s a change in the air, and you can be a part of the solution if you can get your goodies together and put a smile back on your face. You’re raring to go and longing for action to give meaning to your anomie. Call a Gemini.
Capricorn: If it’s your turn again, are you ready to do what you must to see yourself from here to there? Are you fit to lead, or will you fall in and allow yourself to be directed? You have the technology within reach. You have the support, but you have to ask.
Aquarius: It all comes down to standing behind your words. It all comes down to enlisting the willing and cajoling the uncertain and coercing the reluctant. It all comes down to calling in your favors and being ready to blow your interpersonal capital in style. Plan.
Pisces: You would if you could, but you’re not certain you can allow yourself to go so far. If you don’t know for certain, who can you ask? Who is your go-to person when you need your issues clarified, your path cleared and your purpose revivified? Can you commit?
