Your Astro-Forecast begins on the next page. If the time period for an interpretation is, for example, given as "July 1, 2003 (June 15, 2003 to July 15, 2003)", then it starts in mid-June, reaches greatest intensity around July 1, and ends in mid-July. The first date listed is the time when the influence has reached maximum strength; we can call this date the "peak date". The influence starts on the beginning date, gradually increases in strength until the peak date is reached, and then it gradually fades out until the ending date is reached.

An influence may last for as little as a week to as long as half a year or so. It is a good idea to look ahead in your Astro-Forecast Report for long-lasting influences, as you otherwise may not realize that it is in effect until you are already several months into the time period of the influence. Some people underline the dates of long-lasting influences with a colored pen to draw attention to them.

You may also notice that the same interpretation shows up periodically during the year; this is not unusual. In some cases the beginning and ending dates of the 2 influences are the same; the only difference between the 2 interpretations is the peak date. This means that this particular influence has two peak dates instead of one. It is even possible for there to be three or more peak dates for the same astrological influence. To eliminate redundant interpretations, you may be informed that the astrological influence also occurred earlier and that you should refer back to the previous occurrence of this interpretation.

You may be wondering what the funny abbreviations after the dates are. For example, you may see "Sat Conj Plu", "Ura Trine Nep", etc. These abbreviations are given for the benefit of astrologers and they show the astrological factor that is in effect.

We hope you enjoy your Astro-Forecast. For the benefit of astrologers, some technical details are given below.

Forces beyond your control, perhaps an impersonal or collective event or simply an unfathomable twist of fate, impacts your life profoundly during this cycle of time. You may be confronted with the necessity of letting something die, perhaps some part of you or the life you have been living until now. An actual death may transpire, and even if you didn't know this person well or for very long, their death affects you deeply.

Issues of self-will, self-determination, self-expression, power, domination, authority, force-and-counterforce also arise at this time. Your encounters with others contain these elements, either overtly or as subtext.

Positive Potentials:

A transformation of your core self. New will and courage to stand on your own and to create the life you truly want, brought on by an acute awareness of the fact of death. Old unfinished business, especially with you father, or another significant man or men, can finally be resolved, cleared, healed.

Negative Potentials:

During this time you can become obsessed with yourself, your ambitions, your need for self-expression or personal recognition or power. You could begin to work compulsively, sacrificing important relationships or values in the process. You may become involved with a situation involving covert activities, sabotage, betrayal, whistle-blowing, or other dealings with the shadowy side of human life. You may be "pushed to the wall" in some situation. Any tendencies towards compulsiveness are stirred up.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Avoid blaming others for your frustration, unhappiness, or the repression of your creativity and freedom. Resentment saps your vital energies, which you'll need to work through the present situation. Remember, too, that a well-timed retreat is often a sign of wisdom, not weakness.

Fanaticism, over-zealousness, and an unbalanced drive for achievement should also be avoided now. Seek the advice of an objective person if you're in doubt about any of your plans, or if the material that surfaces now is too difficult for you to sort through alone.

Oct 9, 2004 (Oct 9, 2004 to Oct 10, 2004) Merc Trine Sun

Clear thinking and an easy flow of communication make this a good day to present your ideas in writing or in person to take an exam, to learn something new, to initiate discussions or conduct a meeting. The pace of life is quickened and everyday business flows smoothly, especially casual interactions.

Oct 9, 2004 (Oct 8, 2004 to Oct 11, 2004) Mars Sqr Merc

You are mentally sharp and quick at this time but may be abrupt, impatient, and cutting with your words as well. Aggression or hurry can lead to cuts and scrapes, needless arguments, fender benders, or headaches. Consciously slow your movements and breathing down just a bit and give yourself plenty of time to get where you're going, or work off steam by running or taking a brisk walk.

Oct 9, 2004 (Oct 8, 2004 to Oct 10, 2004) Sun Sqr Ura

Minor shake-ups, mishaps, or aberrations from your normal routine require you to be on your toes, or you could feel restless and create a stir yourself. You're less compliant, obedient, and patient with arbitrary rules. If you can, break your usual patterns in small ways, like dressing less formally or showing some eccentricity.

Oct 10, 2004 (Oct 9, 2004 to Oct 11, 2004) Ven Sqr Jup

You may find it hard to stay on task today or to do any unpleasant, demanding work. Tendencies toward excess extravagance, self-indulgence or laziness are amplified now. On the plus side, you can enjoy yourself quite a lot, especially around people. You're generous, playful, good-humored - even lucky!

Oct 10, 2004 (Oct 9, 2004 to Oct 11, 2004) Merc Conj Sat

You have little tolerance for distractions or wasting time right now. You may seem rather humorless, not communicative, or even downright unfriendly. You are thinking about practical concerns and necessities, essentials, and the bottom line, or wrangling with problems that you don't want to discuss openly. An interaction or conversation you have today may shed light on a problem you are facing and show you some weakness that needs to be addressed. In any case, this is not a moment for fun and sport, but for focused attention and for cool, detached objectivity.

Oct 10, 2004 (Oct 9, 2004 to Oct 11, 2004) Merc Sxtil Plu

You are interested in complexity, depth, the mysterious, the hidden, or the primitive, whether you are looking for the secrets of lost civilizations or probing a thorny psychological problem. What you read, watch, think about or discuss is apt to contain these elements. You can also be quite a convincing speaker but beware of overstating your case. Your words are potent now.

Oct 10, 2004 (Oct 9, 2004 to Oct 11, 2004) Merc Conj Nep

You may notice that your mind is a bit fuzzy at the moment, or that you just can't concentrate on practical matters and immediate tasks. Perhaps you need a mental vacation, like reading a book that captures your imagination, going to see a movie, as simply relaxing your mental focus and enjoying the magic of the birds singing outside your window. Minor miscommunications or misunderstandings can arise now. Certainly it is not the best day to negotiate a business transaction or any other activity that requires sharp, decisive discrimination. You might miss important pieces, so save such activities for another day.

Oct 11, 2004 (Oct 10, 2004 to Oct 12, 2004) Ven Sxtil Merc

Pleasantries, humor, and a light touch sweeten your interactions today. You have an extra measure of tact and charm when talking on the phone, writing letters, or meeting people and you tend to veer away from controversial or unpleasant topics. Your mind may be pleasantly lazy. Light romantic comedies, "fun" fiction, and a break from serious striving appeal to you. Social or cultural events are favored.

Oct 12, 2004 (Oct 11, 2004 to Oct 13, 2004) Sun Trine Sun

This is time of flow and ease of expression. You feel energetically supported and your offerings to the world are welcomed. Relationships with men are highlighted and are apt to be mutually beneficial.

Oct 13, 2004 (Oct 12, 2004 to Oct 14, 2004) Sun Conj Sat

Necessity, duty, discipline, and work are the focus for you today, and you're protective of your time and energy. You don't want to scatter your forces or waste efforts, and you may withdraw socially in order to attend to your tasks. Purposeful concerns override other priorities. You may feel rather humorless as well, taking it all a bit too seriously.

Oct 14, 2004 (Oct 12, 2004 to Oct 15, 2004) Sun Sxtil Plu

Unusual creative power is available to you today. An intensity of focus that borders on the extreme allows you to accomplish a great deal now. You also gain deeper insights and awareness about something which helps you understand and work with it better. You may want to get rid of something that's outlived its function because it is easier to part with things now than it might be on another day.

Oct 14, 2004 (Oct 13, 2004 to Oct 15, 2004) Sun Conj Nep

Your imagination and inner yearnings are stimulated and you may find yourself drifting away from the immediate here and now. This isn't the best day to make critical decisions because you may be seeing your options through a subtle haze of hopeful wishing or idealism. Go to see a play or an art exhibit or do something purely for the spiritual reward, some random act of kindness.

Oct 14, 2004 (Oct 13, 2004 to Oct 15, 2004) Merc Trine Mars

You speak clearly, directly, and honestly about what you want now, and your lack of ambiguity is compelling. If you need to convince or persuade another, this is the time to do it. You are sharp in negotiations, and respond quickly and intelligently, but you may unwittingly fail to listen, empathize, or receive the other person's side of things.

Oct 15, 2004 (Oct 14, 2004 to Oct 16, 2004) Ven Sqr Moon

You need pampering and tender loving care right now, not because you aren't well but because you simply crave it. Indulging yourself with treats, sweets, shopping, or whatever gives you comfort may be hard to resist. This is a good time to schedule a massage, hairstyling appointment, or a play date with your kids or a very good friend. However, try to avoid being too needy or demanding with them.

Oct 17, 2004 (Oct 12, 2004 to Oct 21, 2004) Jup Qucnx Ven

At this time there is a tendency to overindulge in some way. Though subtle, this can be detrimental nevertheless. Some of the more concrete ways this could manifest include overeating (with resultant weight gain and sluggishness), overspending, or spending on "treats" that provide some immediate gratification or cosmetic appeal but have little lasting value. Other temptations involve being too loose and tolerant with others, perhaps overlooking their transgressions in order to get along or because it's too much work to deal with the problem directly. (This will probably only be an issue if you tend to be a bit too soft and indulgent to begin with.)

Making excuses (for yourself or others) because you just don't want to do the work is the main pitfall of this cycle. If you "play hooky" now, as you may well be tempted to, you may seem to get away with it. But it's apt to catch up with you later.

Positive Potentials:

A relaxing period if you tend to be too driven, rigid, and disinclined to let your hair down.

Negative Potentials:

Being sloppy and careless with resources, including your health.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Find some relaxing and healthful pleasures, without "spoiling" yourself. If you have a play now/play later attitude, most likely you will pay later and a lot more than you might wish. Consider the long-range effects of your choices, and don't make purchases on credit you are likely to regret.

Oct 17, 2004 (Oct 16, 2004 to Oct 19, 2004) Mars Trine Moon

You enjoy activities in which your instincts, emotions, and desires can flow freely, like making love, playing in the ocean, playing soccer, or just acting like a kid. You feel energetic and passionate about the people and things you care about, and may be rather aggressively protective as well.

Oct 18, 2004 (Oct 17, 2004 to Oct 19, 2004) Ven Sxtil Ura

This is an excellent time to meet new people, to try on a more daring, updated, or unconventional style, and to break out of your usual social circle. Improvise, be spontaneous, and don't be afraid to show your eccentricities or unusual taste. You can wake up and reinvigorate a love relationship that's become too predictable or stale. Loosen up and remember what it's like to play!

Oct 18, 2004 (Oct 18, 2004 to Oct 19, 2004) Merc Oppos Ven

Your interactions and conversations are on the light side now, with an emphasis on affection, humor, understanding, and pleasantries. This is not the best time to enter into any important negotiations, however, because although the tone will be friendly, you are inclined to be a bit too conciliatory or be swayed by charm. It is a much better time to go shopping!

Oct 20, 2004 (Oct 19, 2004 to Oct 21, 2004) Ven Sqr Sun

Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from someone you encounter now, but because you are willing to please and smooth over differences, all is apt to turn out well. At the very least, you'll learn something about a friend or lover that helps you understand them. In fact, your differences may be appealing. As long as egos don't interfere, love will reign!

Oct 20, 2004 (Oct 19, 2004 to Oct 21, 2004) Merc Qucnx Jup

Community or world events, long-range trends, or a desire for wider contact with the world occupies your mind right now. You may feel the urge to make travel plans, to attend a cross-cultural event, or simply to move around more. It may be harder for you to sit still for a long period, or engage in tedious or exacting mental work. You could overlook critical details. Break up your day with humorous interludes, a long distance phone call, or by emailing your faraway friends.

Oct 20, 2004 (Oct 19, 2004 to Oct 21, 2004) Sun Trine Mars

Courage, confidence, and the will to triumph energize you. You are able to move your objectives forward and to get a lot done now, without stressing or going into overdrive. Your positive conviction seems to move obstacles out of your way. You flow around obstructions rather than confront them, which is apt to be a successful strategy at this time.

Oct 21, 2004 (Oct 20, 2004 to Oct 22, 2004) Merc Trine Merc

Today, expect a free flow of ideas, stimulating conversations, and making the right connections at the right time. All intellectual activities are favored now, including writing, speaking, making presentations, getting your ideas across, reading, learning, and conducting business. You enjoy being a messenger, a conduit for information in some manner or form. Casual contacts go well.

Oct 22, 2004 (Oct 20, 2004 to Oct 23, 2004) Mars Sqr Ura

Mishaps or disruptions due to recklessness, tactlessness, sudden outbursts of anger or impatience, and heated encounters are potential trouble spots at the moment. Slow down in traffic, and take precautions around fire, electronics, and sharp tools. Perhaps you can do something daring and outrageous that isn't dangerous!

Oct 24, 2004 (Oct 24, 2004 to Oct 25, 2004) Merc Qucnx Moon

Gaining objectivity about your past through talking or writing about it, needing to talk on an intimate feeling level, or reconnecting to someone you have a long history with is featured. Personal topics interest you much more than factual or philosophical discussion. If you tend to gossip or spend a lot of time analyzing your own and other people's feelings and motives, you are especially likely to do so now. Phone home!

Oct 26, 2004 (Oct 25, 2004 to Oct 27, 2004) Merc Trine Ura

You have a touch of creative genius in your thinking today. Your ability to see things in a new light, to experiment and think outside the box, can deliver up some surprising insights. You may be moved by an out-of-the-blue impulse to call or contact someone, to vary your usual route or to do things in a different order than you normally would. Doing small things like this keeps you awake and interested.

Oct 26, 2004 (Oct 25, 2004 to Oct 28, 2004) Mars Trine Sun

Your positive, outgoing, action-oriented, "yang" energy is stimulated now. You won't want to be contained or sitting still for long periods; vigorous sports, outdoor adventures, and physical expression are indicated instead. You are the favorite for any competitive activity you're engaged in, and you're apt to make whatever you do now a race or contest!

Oct 27, 2004 (Oct 26, 2004 to Oct 28, 2004) Ven Sqr Mars

Sexual tension or disagreements with people of the opposite gender arise now. You may want more than the other person is able or willing to give, or one of you may want togetherness and collaboration while the other prefers to be more independent.

Compromises, adjustments, and working with the differences can bring about a satisfying balance, but it can be difficult to acquiesce when desires are so compelling. In any case, encounters with a definite erotic tone are part of the picture. Wear soft shades of pink, rose, or light green to ease dissonant tendencies.

Oct 27, 2004 (Oct 26, 2004 to Oct 28, 2004) Sun Oppos Ven

There may be some stress or lack of flow between you and a loved one or friend. Perhaps one of you is feeling slighted, neglected, or under-appreciated. It would be wise - and probably would require very little on your part - to reach out and make a loving offer at this time. Little snags or bruised feelings should be attended to, so don't allow pride to stand in the way.

Oct 27, 2004 (Oct 26, 2004 to Oct 29, 2004) Mars Conj Sat

At this time you are especially sensitive to being thwarted, frustrated, or neglected, and it may seem as if all your efforts are for naught. Internal conflict and friction, especially old anger and resentment, can aggravate stress-related problems. The destructive forces inherent in this moment can be directed toward work in which tearing down, cleaning out, or eliminating whatever is nonfunctional is the focus. Concentrate on making order or doing hard or disagreeable tasks, and be patient with yourself and the world. Slow, steady, gentle, and persistent effort is the key now.

Oct 28, 2004 (Oct 27, 2004 to Oct 29, 2004) Merc Qucnx Sun

Opening up lines of communication, actively initiating discussions, and conducting business over the telephone, by email or through the written word is the theme of the day. You are clear and factual, and probably more chatty than usual. You may be inundated with phone calls or be running around a lot as well. It may be hard for you to sit still. A busy day!

Oct 28, 2004 (Oct 27, 2004 to Oct 30, 2004) Mars Sxtil Plu

Your passion, zeal, and inner courage are intensified now, making you enormously effective. You are super-motivated and can tackle tough challenges with confidence. You may take something old and completely re-do, re-make, revise, or renew it. Your creative power is flowing!

Oct 28, 2004 (Oct 27, 2004 to Oct 30, 2004) Mars Conj Nep

Your creative imagination is stimulated, and you may feel an impulse to act out some fantasy or long cherished dream, without your usual concerns and constraints about what is practical, normal, and so on. In your mind you can do the impossible and explore all possibilities. You may be a bit unfocused on the immediate here-and-now, however. Avoid foolish dares and intoxicants, especially when driving or near water. Do something that delights your soul and has no practical use whatsoever, but don't disregard common sense.

Oct 29, 2004 (Oct 28, 2004 to Oct 30, 2004) Merc Sqr Plu

Your conversations and interactions take on an intensity you normally wouldn't expect from casual encounters. You or another person may reveal something very personal and private, or bring up deep topics that are rarely discussed. Very strong views, bordering on the fanatical, or thoughts expressed with a lot of emotion may stir up resistance. You can be keenly insightful now, but beware of forcing any kind of agenda onto those around you.

Oct 30, 2004 (Oct 29, 2004 to Oct 31, 2004) Sun Qucnx Jup

You tend to overreach, overextend, and promise or expect too much, in an overly optimistic assessment of what you can do right now. You see all the possibilities in a positive light, minimizing the potential obstacles. If you commit to anything now, be certain it's something you're truly willing to follow through on. Mutually beneficial contacts are fostered, especially with people at a distance.

Oct 31, 2004 (Oct 26, 2004 to Nov 5, 2004) Jup Trine Jup

You are feeling hopeful, optimistic, and at ease, and the positive energy you are projecting seems to magically open doors for you. In fact this can be a time of unusually good fortune and well-being.

You have a great deal of support now for whatever you want to do, be, or have in your life. New people and environments are friendly to you, and you are attracted to the expansion they offer you. This is an excellent time to travel, to begin a course of study for self-improvement or self-knowledge, and to share your gifts more widely with the world.

If you are overbalanced in the area of work, this is also a wonderful time to take a period of refreshment and play.

Positive Potentials:

Ease, flow, relaxation of excessive efforts or worrying. A sense of gratitude, generosity, abundance, fulfillment. Seeing the positives. Feeling connected to your source, the universe, or the larger whole. Greater openness to people, ideas, and experiences that can enrich your life on all levels.

Negative Potentials:

Tendencies towards self-indulgence, laziness, or personal irresponsibility can come up if you are already strongly inclined that way.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Overall this is a very positive time, especially if you follow up on what is offered to you now, and share your good fortune.

Oct 31, 2004 (Oct 30, 2004 to Nov 1, 2004) Sun Trine Merc

A free flow of ideas, lively interactions, and a positive environment for learning and communication is featured. This is a good time to meet people for business or commercial purposes, to make connections via speaking or writing, and to use your mind. Clarity of thought and of expression eases your way now. This is an excellent time to take a test or make an important phone call or meeting.

Nov 1, 2004 (Oct 31, 2004 to Nov 2, 2004) Ven Qucnx Ven

Differences in tastes, style, or aesthetic preferences may arise in a close relationship, but you can compromise and satisfy both people with relative ease. In fact your differences may be very stimulating and attractive to you, especially if the connection is a romantic one. Love is definitely in the air! You may also want to enhance or change your wardrobe, furnishings, or surroundings to make them more comfortable and appealing. Probably you'll want to indulge yourself in some way and may avoid getting down to work.

Nov 3, 2004 (Nov 2, 2004 to Nov 4, 2004) Merc Qucnx Mars

You may be challenged to defend your ideas, plans, or methods at this time. Thinking on your feet and rapid responses will be necessary, and a few hot words may be exchanged. Certainly you can elect to keep a cool head and avoid unnecessary verbal confrontation, but it will take some effort now. Wear soothing, cool colors like blue or lavender, and avoid red!

Nov 4, 2004 (Nov 3, 2004 to Nov 5, 2004) Ven Trine Jup

Let the good times roll! A lovely sense of well-being and ease characterizes this time. If you've been under a lot of pressure lately, you can let up, let go and relax a bit. You feel freed up emotionally, and freer with your affection and your money as well. Your open-heartedness and easy attitude draws good things your way - friendship, love, opportunities, and material benefits alike.

Nov 5, 2004 (Nov 4, 2004 to Nov 6, 2004) Ven Sqr Merc

It's time for a love talk! Any disagreements or problems you encounter can be more easily worked through now, and you're able to articulate your feelings and wishes in a way others can hear. You seek closeness through verbal exchange, a meeting of heart and mind. Style is important to you now as well, and this is a fine time to consult a beauty expert, get a haircut, choose clothing or make other aesthetic decisions.

Nov 5, 2004 (Sep 22, 2004 to Dec 3, 2004) Plu Sxtil Sat

Whatever you do now, you do with seriousness and an in-depth approach. You have self-discipline that borders on self-denial, the capacity to make do with very little if need be, and the ability to do whatever it takes to accomplish your goals. You want to focus exclusively on your ambitions and what is important to you, eliminating distractions and superfluous involvements. Relationships that you have outgrown or which take your energy away from your deeper aims are likely to be put aside for now or to end altogether. Socially, you may withdraw or need to sever ties with people who are not truly aligned with your best long-term interests. Necessary separations may be part of the picture.

Hard work, long periods of study, and concentrated efforts are laying the groundwork for long-lasting achievements. Inner work is also taking place. You have the opportunity to let go of old ghosts from the past and eliminate self-defeating beliefs, attitudes, and patterns.

Positive Potentials:

The capacity for thorough, painstaking work. The emergence of a deep sense of purpose, and the will to fulfill it. Resolving old, unfinished business and eliminating toxic people or attitudes from your life.

Negative Potentials:

Any tendencies toward fanatic workaholism or extremism in any form may increase.

Remedies and Suggestions:

View whatever losses, disappointments, or endings in the professional or personal area of your life that occur now as necessary and helpful to you, even if they are painful in the immediate instance. Avoid blame or recriminations.

Give yourself credit for the work you are doing now, and know that your patient, constant efforts are building something worthwhile.

Nov 6, 2004 (Oct 31, 2004 to Nov 11, 2004) Jup Sqr Merc

Philosophical disagreements, challenges to your belief systems, or simply exposure to more ideas and information may cause you to enlarge your views at this time.

You may also find yourself intellectually restless and bored with your usual occupations, conversations, and ideas. Your thirst for broader experience of the world, more knowledge, or more expansive ideas may lead to long distance traveling, attending seminars or classes, or reading extensively on new subjects. This is actually a good time to teach what you know, also. Reaching out and communicating on a larger scale is favored now.

Positive Potentials:

Optimism and positive thinking. New, more expansive ideas and plans. Networking, making contacts, negotiating mutually beneficial deals. New alliances.

Negative Potentials:

You may come across as overconfident, self-righteous, or preachy in expressing your opinions. Also, because you are so optimistic about plans and possibilities, you tend to overlook significant details or to overextend yourself. Beware of saying too much right now also.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Remember to LISTEN to what others have to offer, with the intention of learning from them. (Don't think you know it all already). Pay attention to the logistical and practical details of your plans and ideas.

Nov 6, 2004 (Nov 5, 2004 to Nov 7, 2004) Sun Qucnx Moon

Any tension between your conscious actions and your emotional needs, wishes, or feelings that has been bubbling beneath the surface will show itself now. Strained relationships, irritability or a subtle resistance and lack of enthusiasm are possible ways you might notice this. If you find yourself acting like a whiny or willful child, pay attention to what you are needing. Self-comfort and care, a little extra rest, or acknowledging feelings can re-energize you.

Nov 7, 2004 (Nov 7, 2004 to Nov 8, 2004) Merc Qucnx Ven

Nov 8, 2004 (Nov 6, 2004 to Nov 9, 2004) Mars Trine Mars

You are highly motivated, energized, and eager to do and to accomplish now, especially if you can determine your own pace and course. Your efforts tend to succeed because you act with an extra measure of confidence, certainty, and verve. This is an ideal time to take on daunting challenges that you might back away from on other days. Satisfying work and friendly competition is featured.

Nov 8, 2004 (Nov 7, 2004 to Nov 9, 2004) Sun Trine Ura

Creative license, spontaneity, improvisation, and discovery are stimulated now. This is a good time for any activity that requires you to experiment and think outside the box. Your freedom to express yourself in your own way is quite important to you at the moment.

Nov 9, 2004 (Nov 8, 2004 to Nov 10, 2004) Ven Trine Moon

You're in a sweet mood and are a soft touch, especially for people you care for. Your family, children, home, or long time friends give you the most pleasure now, and you'll want to be with them. Sharing food or other forms of nurturing makes you happy. You may not feel like working or pushing yourself too much now. However, bringing flowers or treats into your workplace gives you satisfaction.

Nov 9, 2004 (Nov 9, 2004 to Nov 10, 2004) Merc Oppos Jup

Nov 10, 2004 (Nov 10, 2004 to Nov 11, 2004) Merc Qucnx Merc

Intellectual bantering or a difference of opinion may create some friction now, but you can gain objectivity and another way of seeing something. You may be restless, curious, and in need of intellectual stimulation, or feel a bit overstimulated and nervous. You don't need caffeine! Slow down a little, especially in traffic.

Nov 11, 2004 (Nov 10, 2004 to Nov 12, 2004) Ven Sqr Ura

Some tension between being independent and being close or intimately involved could arise now. A need for some personal space or an urge to temporarily disengage and go off on your own may be part of this, or a friend or partner may express those needs. A last-minute change of plans, or some other unexpected event, challenges your ability to stay connected; a sudden break or a quick beginning to a new friendship or romance is equally likely.

Nov 11, 2004 (Nov 10, 2004 to Nov 12, 2004) Sun Qucnx Sun

Honoring others' personal style, desires, and objectives which not turning away from your own is a challenge at this time. Significant encounters, while not entirely harmonious, are likely. You can learn from the personal differences and contrasts presented now, and become cleared regarding your own path.

Nov 13, 2004 (Nov 12, 2004 to Nov 14, 2004) Sun Sqr Plu

An encounter or incident (whether you are a witness or a participant) may force you to look at something you would normally avoid, and you may have unusually strong feelings about it. Buried emotions and old scars may come up. If so, it's an opportunity for you to gain awareness and to relinquish old grudges, and to make peace with yourself. Something that has been hidden or in the dark comes up now.

Nov 14, 2004 (Nov 13, 2004 to Nov 15, 2004) Ven Trine Sun

Being with people and enjoying good times (especially with beautiful, charming, lighthearted people) is really what you want now. You're in a friendly and cooperative mood which brings ease to your interactions and an overall sense of harmony to your day. Because you are open to love and friendly gestures, you will attract loving people into your experience.

Nov 14, 2004 (Nov 14, 2004 to Nov 15, 2004) Ven Conj Sat

You are attracted to people with maturity, worldly wisdom, and a solid sense of values (perhaps an advisor, elder, or teacher), and are disinclined to frivolous activities or wasting your time. In fact you may be pleased and happy to be alone or perhaps with just one other person that you know well. On the other hand, you may feel quite cool or withdrawn in a crowd. You are also restrained and careful about spending money at this point, and that's as it should be. It is a good time to reflect, set priorities, enjoy simple pleasures, and appreciate quality time with yourself or with your chosen companion.

Nov 15, 2004 (Nov 14, 2004 to Nov 16, 2004) Ven Sxtil Plu

Powerful romantic and creative energies are flowing now. A friendship intensifies through deep sharing, or an erotic interlude evolves from a strongly emotional connection. On another level, you may feel compelled to redesign or remake your wardrobe, surroundings, or a creative project you're in the midst of, to make it more pleasing, rich, and beautiful.

Nov 15, 2004 (Nov 14, 2004 to Nov 16, 2004) Ven Conj Nep

Love yearnings, especially for an idealized or romantic or spiritual kind of love, are awakened now, perhaps by a film or some other artistic image. You need and respond strongly to beauty, aesthetics, the arts, the ocean, poetry, music. Your tender side comes to the fore, too, and you might be moved to adopt a stray dog, cat, or needy person. You may confuse pity with personal attraction or be especially indulgent with people, also.

Nov 17, 2004 (Nov 16, 2004 to Nov 18, 2004) Merc Qucnx Ura

Making or hearing comments that provoke controversy, feeling unusually impatient with others' slowness, impulsive movements or a sudden change of direction can challenge you today. Beware of acting out of nervous haste or tactlessly blurting something out that you can't take back. Instead, consciously slow yourself down, breathe deep into your middle, and relax the tension in your head or jaws - then proceed.

Nov 18, 2004 (Nov 16, 2004 to Nov 19, 2004) Mars Oppos Ven

Powerful desires and amorous feelings are stimulated now perhaps through an enticing interaction or personal encounter. You take the lead in social situations or attract personal attention. Coming on too strong, not picking up on subtle cues, or being inappropriate in a social sense are pitfalls of this time. Strive for a balance between taking the initiative and being sensitive and aware of others' needs and wants. If you are usually shy and unassertive, this is your moment to come out and take a risk even if you're a bit awkward.

Nov 19, 2004 (Oct 17, 2004 to Dec 16, 2004) Plu Trine Plu

Having struggled, grown, won, lost, and survived, this is a period of personal resurrection. A renewed sense of purpose, vitality, and creative energy emerges from a deep place within you.

You have access to latent powers and resources that invigorate you, and now you are concerned with using your gifts to impact the world, i.e. putting them to good use. You can be a force in the world around you.

This is also a period of letting go of some significant part of your past, a death or surrender to the inexorable process of change.

Positive Potentials:

Feeling connected to your core self, your inner purpose, and destiny. Renewed zest, passion, and life.

Negative Potentials:

None likely. However, if you have stifled your inner directives or true callings up until now, you may not feel the true power of this cycle. Still, it's not too late. This can be the time to crack open!

Remedies and Suggestions:

See yourself as a "power player" - someone with the capacity to make a difference. Focus on your passions, those enduring interests and concerns, and follow them confidently. If not now, when?

Nov 19, 2004 (Nov 18, 2004 to Nov 20, 2004) Merc Oppos Sun

Opening up lines of communication, actively initiating discussions, and conducting business over the telephone, by email, or through the written word is the theme of the day. You are clear and factual, and probably more chatty than usual. You may be inundated with phone calls or be running around a lot as well. It may be hard for you to sit still. A busy day!

Nov 19, 2004 (Nov 18, 2004 to Nov 20, 2004) Sun Qucnx Mars

A battle of wills or simply the stress of an overly pushy, ambitious, hurried approach can make this an unpleasant time, even if you "win" or achieve what you wanted to. Strong ego drives are activated now, and it would be best to moderate yourself if you don't want to arouse antagonism. Aim for your personal best rather than competing with others. Vigorous sports can be a good expression for strong energies that need to come out, but beware of over-exerting yourself.

Nov 20, 2004 (Nov 19, 2004 to Nov 21, 2004) Merc Sxtil Sat

This is a good day for quiet thinking and work that entails intellectual or technical skill, craftsmanship, or careful attention to detail. Wrangling with practical problems and logistics, finding intelligent solutions and completing tasks and projects are favored. You meet deadlines on time and enjoy taking care of business. A library or quiet room where you can be alone and just do your work appeals to you now. This is also a fine time to take an examination, either written or oral.

Nov 20, 2004 (Nov 19, 2004 to Nov 21, 2004) Ven Trine Mars

Passionate love and powerful creative drives are stimulated now. If you work in any of the arts, this can be an enormously productive time when your energy and sense of beauty and style really come together. Happy collaborative efforts of all kinds are featured. Camaraderie, friendship, and affection, even with people you normally don't socialize with, can be expected. In a romantic relationship, this can be a very special time. If you wish it, make it so!

Nov 21, 2004 (Nov 20, 2004 to Nov 22, 2004) Merc Sxtil Nep

Imaginative, artistic, or spiritual topics occupy your mind and conversations today. You may be especially telepathic with the people around you, sensing their thoughts and emotions rather easily. None of this is apt to be terribly distracting and in fact will probably be rather subtle, yet it can add another dimension to your interactions. Listen to your intuition.

Nov 21, 2004 (Oct 20, 2004 to Dec 18, 2004) Plu Sxtil Nep

A deep longing for connection to your life purpose or your inner being emerges. Childhood dreams and other yearnings that you may have buried in the course of attending to immediate practical concerns are likely to come to light as well. The mysterious, the intangible, and the higher or subtler dimensions of life pull you. This is an excellent time to begin meditation or deep dream work, to go on retreat, or commence spiritual or metaphysical studies. The veil between the physical and the nonphysical may thin or part for you at this time, revealing an ongoing connection to the spiritual world.

Areas of your life that require deep soul cleansing, perhaps a relationship or problem that has been evaded until now, can begin to heal if you are willing to engage it.

Positive Potentials:

Intensified soul life and awakened spiritual impulses. Deep healing work is fruitful, especially if it involves the spiritual side as well.

Negative Potentials:

Ignoring your inner voice or the need for a spiritual reckoning can leave you feeling empty.

Remedies and Suggestions:

This is a time when you can let go of distorted religious or "spiritual" beliefs that actually hinder you and your direct experience of the divine. Old patterns of addiction, victimization, deception, passivity, or other disempowering behaviors can be healed if you take this opportunity to become ware of them and release them. Subtle forms of healing, vibration medicine, and energy work is especially appropriate and supportive now.

Nov 22, 2004 (Nov 20, 2004 to Nov 23, 2004) Mars Qucnx Jup

Your challenge now is to synchronize your own will and agenda with the larger energies or grand design. You tend to be tripped up by over-eagerness or expecting too much too soon, but if can relax, trust, and allow supportive energies to come to you, your desire can be fulfilled or a wish realized. Ask for what you want and do what you need to, then let it happen. No forcing or overdoing needed!

Nov 24, 2004 (Nov 22, 2004 to Nov 25, 2004) Mars Trine Merc

You say what you mean in a very clear, direct, and compelling way, which short circuits any problems that could arise from ambiguity or indecisiveness. It's an excellent time to do an oral presentation, take an exam, tell your side of the story and convince others of your opinion. Be sure to listen as well. You enjoy intellectual activities and stimulation, conversation, and problem solving.

There may be some stress or lack of flow between you and a loved one or friend. Perhaps one of you is feeling slighted, neglected, or under-appreciated. It would be wise - and probably will require very little on your part - to reach out and make a loving offer at this time. Little snags or bruised feelings should be attended to, so don't allow pride to stand in the way.

You are apt to be busy, moving around a lot, and interacting with people on the go. You have quite a bit of mental energy and may be restless if you have to be stationary for too long. Lots of ideas are being batted back and forth. Conflicting views and opinions serve to clarify your own thinking. Seek compromises on inconsequential matters.

Dec 2, 2004 (Nov 30, 2004 to Dec 3, 2004) Mars Qucnx Moon

Just DO IT is your motto now. You're in the mood for action and may be especially disgruntled by others' indecisiveness, passivity, or laziness. Beware of emotional outbursts and aggressive maneuvering in traffic or at home, because what you perceive to be slowness on the part of others may just be your own impatience. However, ongoing or chronic tensions that you try to ignore most of the time are likely to erupt now. This isn't the best time to visit the in-laws, or to work out problems with people you're close to. Find positive ways to let off steam. A vigorous tennis match, perhaps?

Dec 5, 2004 (Dec 4, 2004 to Dec 6, 2004) Sun Oppos Moon

Any tension between your conscious actions and your emotional needs, wishes, or feelings that has been bubbling beneath the surface will show itself now. Strained relationships, irritability, or a subtle resistance and lack of enthusiasm are possible ways you might notice this. If you find yourself acting like a whiny or willful child, pay attention to what you are needing. Self-comfort and care, a little extra rest, or acknowledging feelings can re-energize you.

You crave challenge, action, something fresh and exciting, and while you won't instigate a fight, you won't back away from one either.

The thrill-seeker or adventurer in you comes out. You have bursts of energy and need to do something that is, for you, original and daring.

Dec 6, 2004 (Nov 30, 2004 to Dec 13, 2004) Jup Trine Moon

Optimism, emotional openness and generosity, and a general feeling of hopefulness and security characterize this time period. You exude a sense of well-being and your positive expectations attract happy experiences and outcomes. Unless other astrological factors promote focused activity and drive, you may not be motivated to do much, but good things come into your life anyway. Mostly, you just feel good "for no reason". Just being around you encourages and buoys others' spirits.

If you have been having hard or stressful times for a while, you will feel a greater sense of ease even if nothing changes externally. A new mentor or source of support and nurturance may also come to you now.

This is an excellent time for a refreshing break or vacation.

Positive Potentials:

Increased social and emotional confidence and ease. Assistance from and/or agreeable relationships with those in authority or positions of leadership. Increased rapport and empathy with children family, or others. An expanded sense of "family"; including others into your family circle. Improvements or happy events in the home.

Negative Potentials:

If you have a difficult task, deadlines, or a demanding project that really needs your attention, you may not feel inclined to expend the effort now. Just enjoying the present while blowing off commitments or responsibilities may be a temptation. Procrastination or "letting" someone else do the disagreeable work.

Remedies and Suggestions:

All in all, this is an agreeable time period as long as you avoid the indulgences described above. It is a good time to sponsor a social event and share your good fortune with others, or to accept invitations to extend and expand personally, emotionally, and socially.

Your interactions may bring up surprisingly intense feelings, pleasant or not. Irrational attractions and desires, jealousies, or resentments may surface. You may run into an ex (friend, in-law, lover) or someone or something that reminds you of an old love or pain: a chance to put it to rest. You can also pour your heart into a creative project you're in the midst of, using your intensified emotions to create something new.

Dec 10, 2004 (Dec 9, 2004 to Dec 12, 2004) Mars Qucnx Sun

You're apt to be impatient and to use more force than is called for when minor differences arise. You may instigate, aggravate, or stir up trouble either without realizing it (by being too loud, overstepping others' boundaries, or making assumptions), or even on purpose. You could use this abundance of energy for accomplishment, if you so choose. Tone down aggressive tendencies by wearing soft shades of blue, lavender, or pink, and avoid red or orange.

You have good stamina, concentration, and a focus on taking care of earthly realities, practical necessities, and chores. Inner satisfaction comes from accomplishing your tasks and meeting responsibilities. You may not be especially gregarious or jovial now unless other astrological factors are strong, but you can definitely have a solid sense of achievement at the end of the day.

A hidden or mostly unconscious need to control or gain power is at play within and around you now. If you violate others' rights or territory in pursuit of your own agenda, a battle of wills (subtle or overt) is likely. There is a destructive element operating as well, which can be turned to good ends in that you can work to "destroy" or eliminate something, or completely purge or overhaul something in your life. You tend to drive yourself quite hard, so beware of over-straining or forcing yourself past your limits.

Your energies run hot and you could risk driving yourself too hard and burning yourself and others with too much passion or anger. Minor annoyances may feel like major aggravations; unexpressed frustration or hostility may erupt into the open; pushing, hurrying, or forcing things can lead to trouble. Slow down and cool down on every level: take the pedal off the metal, consciously slow your movements, drink or immerse yourself in cool water, avoid people and situations you know have the potential to rouse your ire. Observe how touchy and aggressive your ego tends to be right now, as if every thing that doesn't go your way is a personal affront, and have a good laugh at yourself !

Pleasantness and a personal touch ease all situations you find yourself in. You're in a lighthearted mood and prefer being around people you enjoy and can relax with, and unless your work pleases you, you probably won't want to do it.

Erratic but fortunate turns and twists, surprises and sudden opportunities, and synchronicities which align you with the larger order are activated now. There may be some new person or information that opens up new worlds for you and points the way to the future. You have the confidence, curiosity, and faith to try a new, radically different approach which can lead to a big breakthrough.

Your visionary, intuitive, and inspirational energies are opening so that you see possibilities and future developments more clearly. You're more adventurous, more hopeful, less willing to be constricted, more willing to take chances. Humor, playfulness, a philosophical detachment from both failure and success, and spontaneous foolish joy have a liberating effect upon you.

Positive Potentials:

Positive changes in both the personal and professional arenas, which have far-reaching consequences. Opening up philosophical or intellectual belief systems to a breath of fresh air. Changing and expanding your thinking. Sudden windfalls, lucky chances, a gift from the blue. Unexpected promotion.

Negative Potentials:

Magnifying and exaggerating the potential benefits of a new idea or venture. Blowing off responsibilities and the voice of conservative wisdom.

Remedies and Suggestions:

It is important for you to have outlets for freedom and your restless need for newness and adventure. Vary your pace, your routine, your usual daily activities to include more play.

Avoid extremes when speculating, investing, or gambling. Overall your intuitions are leading you in the right direction but being overly optimistic can lead to unwise actions. Play only with what you can afford to happily part with.

You may seek out someone who is a bit older than you or a reliable long time pal to spend some time with.

During this period you have a heightened sensitivity to everything around you - at times an almost mystical sense of oneness or communion. Because of your increased sympathetic awareness of others' unspoken feelings and states of being, you feel more compassion and a greater desire to assist them. You may even find yourself talking to plants and listening to what the birds are telling you.

You may also experience more clearly the powerful affects of music, color, and atmospheres on your mood and sense of well-being. This is a good time to learn about feng shui, the Chinese art of creating harmonious, life-enhancing spaces to live or work in. Intuitive or psychic development courses, meditation, spiritual healing, dream work, and other such teachings or practices would benefit you a great deal at this time also.

Positive Potentials:

Increased sensitivity and openness to subtle and spiritual realities and spiritual guidance. Feeling emotionally and spiritually connected to all creation. Greater forgiveness and understanding in personal relationships. Mystical feelings of closeness with family or others. Heightened imagination opens new worlds and any work involving music, art, imagery, or healing is enhanced.

Negative Potentials:

There are few negatives associated with this cycle, unless you are already overly idealistic, fanciful, and impractical, in which case these tendencies may be somewhat more pronounced than usual.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Begin paying attention to your dreams, fantasies feelings, subtle impressions, inklings, and thoughts that seem unusual or unrelated to your usual way of thinking. Keep a journal to record these in, as they may contain inner guidance and creative seeds for future projects.

Say yes to your "silly" desire to paint, or write poetry, or to use your imagination in creative ways that may be new to you. Translate your empathy and charitable feelings into acts of generosity and kindness.

You may feel somewhat diminished or discouraged now, perhaps from a rejection or other disheartening event. In any case, no quick or immediate satisfaction is likely now. It's best to slow down, conserve your energy, and simply get to work on what needs to be done. Rather than blame the world for thwarting you, attend to your immediate obligations. Do something to organize and bring order to your environment or practical affairs. You'll feel better if you can make some concrete progress, no matter how small.

Your will power, focus, and concentration are diffused somewhat now, and this is not the best day to make critical decisions as you may be viewing people and situations in an overly idealistic light. Hope and fantasies tend to obscure reality. You also may want to put off activities in which discernment and mechanical skill are necessary. This is a fine day for dreaming up ideas, getting inspiration, or playing "let's pretend".

Jan 13, 2005 (Jan 12, 2005 to Jan 14, 2005) Ven Trine Ven

Cooperation, affection, and sweet feelings color this moment. All friendships and intimate or personal interactions are highly favored. Certainly you won't want to be alone today, nor need you be. Any overtures you make will be gladly received. Love is flowing! You may feel a bit lazy and pleasantly indulgent as well.

Jan 13, 2005 (Jan 12, 2005 to Jan 14, 2005) Merc Trine Ven

Communicating affection and appreciation come easily to you today. You speak personably and pleasantly now, making even casual interactions sweet. By overlooking superficial differences and focusing on harmonizing and understanding, you build bridges between yourself and others or between two parties who have been at odds. This is also a wonderful time to send flowers, write a love letter, or to discuss matters of aesthetics and personal style. Heavy topics will wait for another day.

During this cycle you move out of your usual social circle and are more open to interacting with different types of people. You may begin a friendship with someone vastly different from yourself in age, background, lifestyle, or beliefs. Or you may have a relationship that defies the usual categories and societal standards. Even if you are not usually very daring, you will be attracted to experimenting and to new styles in art, music, friendship, love, aesthetics.

Positive Potentials:

Letting go of restrictive conventions allows more creativity and feeling. New aliveness and inspiration. More originality in creative expression.

Negative Potentials:

If you are very rigid or closed-minded you may be unable to respond to the opportunity to revitalize and experience more of life.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Dance a lot, even if you're "no good at it". Be spontaneous. Trust your creative impulses, and find a form through which you can express your "wildness".

You tend to see road blocks and obstacles, or come up against skepticism and doubt from within yourself or from others. Listen to the voice of prudence and caution, and do not attempt to press forward. Instead, pull back and see the flaws that can be worked on. Focus on repairs, strengthening weak areas, cleaning up and refining your presentation. Beware of letting negative voices dampen your spirits, however.

This is an excellent time to concentrate on the immediate and get some real work done. You can apply yourself to some unexciting or disagreeable but necessary job and stick with it until it's finished - or at least until you've made some visible, tangible progress. In fact, you're apt to enjoy this more than just about anything else at the moment. It feels good to accomplish tasks and have something to show at the end of the day. Practice, refining a technique, or problem-solving is featured.

Minor misunderstandings, communication foul-ups, or not seeing the obvious can cause a bit of confusion. Check and recheck your figures, or put off important legal or mundane matters for another day.

Feeling deprived, excluded, lonely, or distant from the people who love you may occur now. It could be a cooling off period in a relationship, or a critical moment that tests its strength. Tending your hurt feelings without indulging in self-pity or one-sided blame is important. You may also meet obstacles or self-doubt in regard to some creative project you're in the midst of. Try to work on the flaws or weak aspects of it without considering the whole endeavor a failure. Take a break!

You are drawn to the people, places, ideas, or information that can profit you the most, and whatever comes to you now is apt to be of benefit.

Conversations with women, with family, and with people you are especially close to or have a long history with are going well now. By listening as well as sharing your own experiences and feelings, you deepen your rapport and connection. Telling stories, reminiscing, and discussing what is in your soul can be very rewarding. You are likely not only to hear, but to understand. Personal letter writing or journaling would also be fruitful activities.

This is a period of realistically facing illusions, deceptions, addictive or avoidant behavior, and issues you may have been unwilling to see clearly in the past. Serious deficiencies in someone or something you have idealized may cause you to reassess. You may question the depth of your honesty and your commitment to your promises or ideals.

Your mood is one of detachment, disenchantment, and possibly self doubt and cynicism. You tend to see yourself and others in a harsh light, which can generate feelings of guilt and general despondency. Or, you may simply feel spiritually dry and barren, as if the fount of inspiration and comfort had dried up. It's a time of deepening, maturing, sending your roots down even further to tap spiritual nourishment. Practical service or even self-sacrifice, rather than dreamy idealism or airy fantasy, is your path at the moment.

Positive Potentials:

Disciplined efforts to overcoming negative dependencies and habits can lead to substantial improvements. Reclaiming personal responsibility and personal power. Ability to give up, do without, or sacrifice comfort in order to actualize a dream, "walk your talk" or surrender negative attachments.

Negative Potentials:

A gloomy, anxious, disheartened mood. Inability to see the positive elements. Lessened vital energy.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Taking some time alone in quiet surroundings; perhaps a sabbatical or retreat may be helpful. Simplify your life. "Fast" from activities and people who reinforce a fearful perspective, whether in the form of "entertainment", "spirituality", as simply people who drain your emotional resources.

Refrain from making long-term decisions now, as you tend not to see the whole picture at the moment. You may perceive things as darker, harder, and tougher than you will feel they are further down the road. Seek help for addictive patterns you wish to be free of.

This is a crucial period of testing, which challenges your commitment to the life you have chosen thus far. A failure, a loss of status, a personal disappointment, or some other disheartening event may usher in this period of reexamination. You are more aware than ever of your weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and insecurity, fear, and self-doubt may be unwelcome companions now. Basically you are thrown back on your inner resolve to continue on the path you've been on. Areas that are shaky and less than solid will need to be built up or eliminated altogether. Discern what is worth holding on to or working to strengthen, and what must be shed. If you stubbornly resist letting go of what isn't really essential to living out your authentic life, you set yourself up for even greater loss later on.

Positive Potentials:

Necessary endings, losses, or closure in order to concentrate on what is true and most important to your development. Making hard choices that leave you feeling strengthened. Recognizing the depth of your commitment to your current path. Facing weaknesses in order to heal them and build strength.

Negative Potentials:

A severe crisis of confidence reaping the results of past dishonesty (with self or others), unconscious behavior, compromises, or shortcuts.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Stand still and take stock. Do not further weaken yourself by resenting circumstances or blaming others if you find yourself standing in a place that is not to your liking. Embracing self-responsibility and your power to choose differently now gives you strength. Be compassionate toward yourself, and your places of weakness and imperfection. Join deep and rigorous self-honesty with humor and tenderness toward yourself.

Get help from a counselor, healer, or elder for the places you are really stuck or blocked. Employ simple methods, such as slow, conscious breathing, to bring yourself into present-time clarity.

Mar 4, 2005 (Mar 3, 2005 to Mar 5, 2005) Sun Sqr Moon

Any tension between your conscious actions and your emotional needs, wishes, or feelings that has been bubbling beneath the surface will show itself now. Strained relationships, irritability, or a subtle resistance and lack of enthusiasm are possible ways you might notice this. If you find yourself acting like a whiny or willful child, pay attention to what you are needing. Self-comfort and care, a little extra rest, or acknowledging feelings can re-energize you.

At this moment you do not want to waste time or energy and you may be impatient with those situations or people who seem to stand in your way or thwart your will. Resentment and an adversarial attitude may surface, especially towards those who have an easier time of it. You may be tempted to lash out at others who are really not the cause of your frustration but are simply safe targets. Instead of moving with these destructive attitudes, turn to what you can do in your own court. Self-reliance, patience, and even hard or disagreeable work can turn this time into a productive one. Find ways to relieve stress (that don't involve hurting others!)

Positive Potentials:

Negative Potentials:

Magnifying and exaggerating the potential benefits of a new idea or venture. Blowing off responsibilities and the voice of conservative wisdom.

You feel electrified with hope and an expanded sense of possibility. This, combined with a pervasive need for freedom, makes you disinclined to work within your usual framework. An exuberant, almost reckless, faith in chance can lead to rapid changes, and great gains or losses occur at this time. Change happens in a lightning-like way, quickly and unexpectedly, leading to a sense of relief and release.

The forces of liberation are strongly active within and around you now, and an open mind and adventurous spirit will help you ride the currents. A too-narrow and rigid belief system will be rocked at this time.

Positive Potentials:

Serendipitous discoveries and awakenings. Intuitive impulses leading to large scale future plans. A fortunate twist of fate.

Negative Potentials:

Crazy goals based on ungrounded speculation and over-optimism. A profusion of new possibilities lead to rapid overexpansion. The inclination to gamble on a farfetched idea.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Apply common sense to any endeavor you're attracted to now. Be willing to open your mind and change your thinking, especially in regard to religious understanding and/or your future goals.

Be independent of the opinions of others who may want to hold you to your old methods, but do temper your actions with reason.

This may be one of the least auspicious time to pursue metaphysical or esoteric studies, magical practices, or unusual states of consciousness. The tendency toward misunderstanding, misinterpretation, illusions, and distortion is high, and instead of bringing illumination, could cause you to fall prey to confusion and muddled thinking.

Odd, unsettling experiences or strange moods may come on sporadically during this cycle. Don't feed any such tendencies by exposing yourself to too much fantasy, horror, or bizarre imagery in art, films, or other media. Avoid intoxicants and mind-altering substances for the same reason.

There may be unusual experiences on or near water during this period, so if you have any doubts about taking that cruise or diving excursion, take extra precautions.

Positive Potentials:

If you have a solid sense of self, and are clear and well-grounded to begin with, you may draw inspiration from your intensified imagination or some peculiar encounters you have at this time.

Negative Potentials:

Psychic instability, disorganization, or disassociation from ordinary consciousness.

Remedies and Suggestions:

As indicated above, it's not wise to pursue psychic development or to go to extremes in spiritual matters. Stay focused on the here and now.

During this period many exciting new contacts, information, and ideas come into your experience. You are presented with concepts, techniques, and understanding which can revolutionize your life, or at least significantly change your thinking along some lines. You may notice more synchronicities or unusual coincidences which propel you into new arenas of thought and relationship. Because you are open and receptive to these new approaches, you are in a position to benefit form them. Your daily routine is likely to change now, as you incorporate some new elements into your life. An unanticipated solution to an old dilemma may present itself at this time also, simply because you are willing to think differently about it.

If you are considering a trip, you will want to vary the route you usually take, or choose an entirely new destination to some place you've never been.

Positive Potentials:

Creative and inspired thinking; innovative and inventive approaches. Spontaneous ideas that lead to beneficial outcomes. Openness to people you might usually disregard.

Negative Potentials:

You may be a bit more restless or unable to concentrate on tedious repetitive tasks.

Remedies and Suggestions:

If there is someone in your life you don't understand or who you have been intellectually closed to up until now - especially if their views, lifestyle, and approach to life significantly differs from your own - this is an excellent time to open up lines of communication between you. What you learn from them, if you are willing to listen, will open up a new world to you.
