August 2014

by Mac McLaughlin | Aug 2, 2014 | Weekly Forecasts

August starts off with a bang as the fiery brothers Mars and Jupiter square off. This planetary influence is in effect for the first 10 days of the month and we won’t be in the mood to take any guff so things could get rough. Mars is known to have a feisty temper whilst Jupiter has a tendency to overstate the facts and blow things out of proportion. The antidote to this potent planetary mix is to try not to overreact when others display insensitivity or carelessness. As an example, if you’re on the highway and a testosterone junkie nearly blows you off the road, let him go by knowing you passed the test of not letting your ego put you in danger. The poor fellow will most likely meet his destiny one day anyway. We don’t have to wish him any bad luck as he is creating is own karma and, as we know, all karma must be paid in full.

The full Moon on August 10 carries quite a bit of intensity with it as well. Saturn squares off with the lights (Sun and Moon) while Mercury is in square with Saturn. It means we will be pondering or worrying about some type of development concerning negotiations, contracts and travel. For two days before and after the full Moon date, we will feel its effects. Uranus is in a harmonious pattern with the full Moon and it is an indication of possible good news, breakthroughs and accord.

Venus and Jupiter meet up in the third week of August. Known as the lesser and greater beneficent planets, when they join up, we receive the gifts of their benevolence, generosity and love. The Sun enters Virgo on August 22 bringing the instinct to prepare for the fall season which is just around the corner. It’s time to get the kids ready for school and hopefully the teachers and the government will have resolved their differences so we can get on with the program. The Virgo new Moon on August 25 represents a new start and with Mars and Saturn conjunct on that day, it tells us we will have a firm resolve to get things right, with all wheels greased and ready to roll. We will be feeling the instinct to get on with our plans for the fall season and we won’t be in the mood for blocks or foot dragging.

The full Moon on August 10 lands in your fifth and 11th solar houses indicating romance, entertainment, enjoyment and children as feature topics. Venus casts good energy into your sign bringing good times and happy memories to be cherished in the future. Create and innovate is the mantra of the month. You can reinvent yourself now.

We’ve all heard of the dog days of summer. August might feel like the dog days in which people are cranky, touchy and testy. Generally, Taurus is tolerant and slow to anger and you might have to use those gifts throughout the month. Let your hair down and don’t let others get you down.

Health and home are the two topics that will be on your mind. You have fine artistic gifts and an eye for beauty. Your creative energy is strong in the first half of the month. Life takes a more serious turn towards month’s end as you figure out what to do and how to go.

It’s a gathering time. Your instincts will prompt you to put things together, such as your home life and career objectives. A lot has been dredged up recently and it’s time to bury the past and move into the future. Your creativity is strong now as is the potential for love to manifest.

It’s your time to shine. There’s a big build-up of planetary energy affecting your sign now and life might not be a cakewalk. There may even be some strong resistance to your plans especially around the full Moon on August 18. There’s a lot of cosmic support, however, and you should move steadily towards your goals.

There’s a Virgo new Moon just after sunrise on August 25. Lord Mercury is rising as well. This is your kick-off date in which you flip the switch and move into high gear. It is definitely your time to get serious and apply yourself toward whatever it is you would like to accomplish.

Libra is the sign of relationships. Now is the time to form new friendships and visit with old friends and family members. Nothing remains settled as Uranus and Pluto continue to stir the pot bringing changes and challenges as you strive for harmony and balance. Helping those that need help is on the to-do list.

You will have to wend your way carefully as there are all kinds of pitfalls, snags and snares as you move through the month. Limitation and frustration build up and test your patience and humility. Kindness, caring, hard work and persistence bring success. A career boost may manifest.

Career and travel are the features of the month. An interest in spirituality captures your attention. Some limitations could hold you back, however, such as health matters and possible legalities. Old karma rears its head and must be dealt with honourably and honestly in order to clear the pathway towards the future.

Hidden matters, secrets and issues related to inheritances and joint monies come up now. We have no control over poverty or riches, good health or illness or life or death. Our concern is to do our best and leave the rest to the Lord. A rebirth is in the stars and quite the transformation is taking place.

The full Moon on August 10 brings a cornucopia of information. No one likes the taste of castor oil, but it does provide a healing effect. The things you learn this month represent the castor oil – bitter, but healing you in many ways. A break with the past takes place and a new pathway emerges.

It’s time to get yourself together in all kinds of ways – health-wise first, for without good health not much matters. Relationship interests come up towards the end of the month and into September. Clear out the old and make ready for the new. That’s the mantra of the times for your sign.

July 2014

by Mac McLaughlin | Jul 1, 2014 | Weekly Forecasts

If you notice you’re growing a little extra hair on the back of your hands and that you’re walking on the balls of your feet, don’t worry; it’s just the full Moon effect on July 12. We’re under the Moon’s spell at all times for the Moon rules over our emotions, mind and feelings. The Moon also has rulership over our family connections and all other emotionally based relationships. As we know, we experience a dozen or more full Moons every year and most of them are not that much of a big deal, but life does become more exciting and our emotions do become heightened especially if the full Moon lands on any sensitive points in our personal horoscopes.

If a full Moon lands near your Mars, you can bank on experiencing some type of heightened activity and it does not have to be negative, by any means. On the other hand, if you have been experiencing a lot of tension and repressed anger in a particular area of your life, the lid will likely blow off the pot around full Moon time. It is important to give a five-day timeline with the full Moon energy – two days before the full Moon and two days after it. If Mars, Saturn, Uranus or Pluto accompany the full Moon, again, you might very well anticipate some type of intensification of life’s activities in which you go through a range of emotional challenges and changes.

Mars has figured significantly over the last several months with his long retrograde cycle in Libra, the sign of relationships. Since last fall, we have certainly had our full share of incidents, fires, accidents, wars and other forms of terrorism to dine on. Mars is very associated with anger and lust and it has driven many people over the edge as witnessed by the daily reports about people who have fallen into the deadly traps of lust, anger, greed and ego. Mars still has his hand in the cosmic pie and we are destined to hear all about it as July unfolds her mysteries and misadventures.

The only real way to stave off the intense and fiery Mars energies is to stay safe, play safe and strive to be a good, caring, humane being. If you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Mars is associated with the new Moon on July 26 and the full Moon on July 12. Lay off the gas pedal and be kind to all of God’s creatures.

The mark of a strong man is that of kindness, patience and consideration. The mark of a strong woman is that of compassion, forgiveness and caring. There will be lots of opportunities throughout the month to see what you are made of. You can lash out in anger or choose to make peace where you can.

As long as we’re living on the Earth plane, the karmic wheel continues to spin. We can forge chains of iron or chains of gold by our thoughts and actions. You have an opportunity to sort out the old indebtedness you have carried with you into this life. Love and compassion will get you through.

Lord Mercury and Venus, the goddess of love, ethics and morality, are helping you come to terms with what must be done in order to attain peace, happiness and serenity. It seems you have lost your way and now must get yourself back on track and find the balance once again.

Revelations come flooding in by the light of the full Moon on July 12. No doubt, the days are intense, but you may not mind and might very well attain some success. Give it your all and your best and see what the universe decrees. Timing and good karma work hand in hand now.

Well, I hope you’re ready as things are bound to get hot. The Leo new Moon on July 26 is accompanied by Jupiter and you cannot get much better than that. You can party now and pay later or pay now and play later. Do all that you can in order to realize your dreams.

You should be busy as a bee. Career activities dominate the days. It is also time to do some internal work, behind the scenes. Money, fame and success will not be enough. You need to nurture your spirit as it needs exercise as well. Extend yourself to help others and you will be fulfilled.

You may breathe a sigh of relief as Mars finishes his lengthy Libra visit at the end of the month. He’s like the nosy relative that likes to stir up trouble. Now, a new form of restlessness begins to gnaw at you. It’s time to seek that which will bring you happiness.

Saturn is moving dead slow in the middle of Scorpio this month. He’s a dreary character and often brings disenchantment, detachment and sometimes downright depression. He may also bring fame and success, but the same feeling of disenchantment lingers anyway. Saturn helps point us in a spiritual direction in which true fulfilment may be realized.

Your solar ninth house of travel lights up and it is likely you will be on the road again at the end of the month. There may some disputes and controversies that need to be cleared up before you go, though. Take the high road and soften your replies with kindness and consideration.

The full Moon on July 12 takes place in your sign bringing revelations and understanding that were previously hard to come by. You get your answers now and you can move forward once again. Other concerns are brewing and they will show up in the last half of the month providing opportunities to set things right.

The new Moon on July 26 signals the start of some down time. Take it and nurture yourself as you are a high roller and probably push yourself too much. It is unlikely you will get a chance to let down as life has a way of stoking the fire and stirring the ashes.

The instinct to organize yourself and everything around you is strong throughout the month. This is a good time to deal with health issues and other concerns that need attention. Life mellows out in the last half of the month and so should you. Nurture yourself and be aware that love may be close at hand.

June 2014

by Mac McLaughlin | Jun 1, 2014 | Weekly Forecasts

The Sun’s passage though the sign of Gemini usually hints at a lively and active time of the year. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the god of business, trade and communication. He also rules short journeys, contracts and negotiations. Most of us are hip to the antics that unfold when Mercury decides to back up along the zodiac for a few weeks. He starts to move slowly as the month begins and reverses his direction on June 7. The days preceding the retrograde phase and a few days after it ends must be considered as part of the Mercury retrograde phenomena. In other words, we will experience the Mercury Retrograde material from early June until the first week in July. Life doesn’t stop, nor grind to a halt, but we can experience all kinds of delays and transportation problems along with all sorts of problems related to business, agreements and other assorted disputes. Rather than wring our hands worrying about what will go wrong, we might want to look at it as a time in which we can right the wrongs and set things straight. That’s the whole point of the drill.

We will have myriad opportunities to collaborate and negotiate our way through the complexities we’re faced with in our everyday lives. In the midst of Mercury’s antics, we have other planetary phenomena to address. The full Moon on June 12 will be important, as it brings our emotions into a heightened state, and we will experience the “he said, she said” state of affairs. Venus opposes Saturn on the same day and some affairs will end as will other types of relationships that have questionable foundations. Remember, it’s all an opportunity to sort out the old karmic bonds we carry with us throughout our lifetimes.

Mars is square with Pluto close to the full Moon date adding danger, intrigue, action and drama into the mix. Stay clean and let your works be seen; that’s the remedy for this powerful and potent mix of planetary energy. Honesty and peaceful loving energy is needed. Summer begins on June 21 and it just might be time to hit the beach, let your hair down and allow your troubles to slip away., kindness, patience and caring for one another is truly what is needed.

Lord Mars is still moving very slowly in your opposite sign Libra all month making things touchy and edgy. It won’t take much to upset the apple cart so you will have to be on your best behaviour until this energy passes. In the meantime, you can get a lot accomplished by sheer effort.

The full Moon on June 12 and the days surrounding it are power packed and profound. You might be doing some soul searching as to where you’re at and where your true values lie. It could be marriage or divorce time and much is on the line. Weighty decisions must be made and dealt with.

The full Moon on June 12 brings revelations and realizations about many things, especially matters of the heart. Lord Mercury retrogrades most of the month bringing opportunities to reconsider what is what. In true Gemini fashion, you may be of two minds about everything. Things take on a brighter perspective in late June and July.

Intense and dynamic energy continues to flow and it would be worthy to utilize it with the best of your ability. Promote yourself, get out there and mix and mingle. Jupiter is in your sign and you come across as receptive and believable; others get that you are trustworthy, accountable and talented. It’s up to you now.

It’s all about behind-the-scenes preparation. If you want to achieve something great, now is the time to do the groundwork and make ready for Jupiter’s visit to Leo from July 18, 2014 to August 15, 2015. Jupiter brings blessings and abundance especially for those that truly work for it. Go for the gusto.

Read Leo and think ahead, as Jupiter will visit Virgo from mid-August 2015 to early September 2016. Once you’ve made your plan, get to it, stick to it and you will surely experience some success. Career opportunities present themselves in late June and most of July. Staying steady on the case is best.

I don’t imagine you have been bored recently. If anything, you have probably been very busy with all kinds of commitments and obligations along with a series of sudden or unplanned tasks that had to be dealt with. It’s not over yet, as June will be a demanding and active time as well.

Resources are a big key as the month of June unfolds. Earning potential, inheritances and shared monies are big topics now. The full Moon on June 12 will help you see your true state of affairs. It might be time to rethink your strategy. Travel potential presents itself towards the end of the month.

The full Moon on June 12 takes place in your sign casting light and understanding on your present concerns and objectives. You may have to thread your way carefully in regard to communications and negotiations. Take a break and rest up if you can. You may be a bit frazzled with the amount of obligations on board.

Cappy’s are known to be relentless in attaining their objectives. You may very well be successful, but it can be lonely at the top especially if you have mishandled people on the way up. Be a team player and give due respect all the way around. Abuse power and a big backlash takes place.

You get a free pass and are left to your own devices. I suppose that can be good if you utilize your time properly. You’re not totally off the hook though. You still have career choices and objectives to deal with. Romantic and social energies intensify and you may be a bit distracted.

Mercury and Neptune triangulate in the first half of June providing you with an opportunity to utilize your highly creative imagination. Lord Jupiter casts a fine ray giving you all kinds of opportunities to carve out your path and put your life together the way you would like it to be.

May 2014

by Mac McLaughlin | May 1, 2014 | Weekly Forecasts

The planetary gods are all stirred up, fussing and fighting over all kinds of stuff. Apparently, they run the show and dish out whatever is to come our way karma-wise. We know that Mars has much to do with anger, aggression, war, fire, accidents and incidents. He has centre-stage throughout the springtime and we will hear from him through many acts of disruption, chaos and calamity. It is not the time to shrivel up and slink away, but it is time to face the concerns of the day. On the positive side of the coin, Mars rules over all heroic acts of bravery and valour. He’s moving dead-slow throughout the month as he retrogrades until May 20 and begins to move forward once again. While he is moving slowly, he has more power and if he connects to any sensitive places in our charts we get a play or some type of drama manifesting in our lives. It doesn’t have to be anywhere near as intense as to what I’m portraying in this column, but it would serve us well to be keenly aware of the potential concerns with Mars on board. We might want to abide by the saying, “A wise man rules his stars and a fool follows them.” Forewarned is forearmed is another adage that suits the needs of the times.

I have studied the Royal Family’s charts for decades and a time has come in which Prince William and Princess Kate are very much affected by this Mars phenomena. Let us pray they come through this time unscathed, unharmed and safe and sound. The situation in Ukraine doesn’t look good and the other trouble spots on the Earth no doubt will be disturbed and disrupted. What to do? How do we handle this powerful energy visiting us from the planets? We play safe, stay safe and in bounds and exercise caution in all that we do. No sense looking down the pipe of the gas tank with a lit match or smoking a cigarette while filling your tank. Using common sense is the key to safety in these shaky times. Love, kindness, patience and caring for one another is truly what is needed.

You thrive on excitement, thrills, spills and danger. You’re a Mars type and he is now moving slowly through your opposite sign, Libra, providing all the action you can handle. If the above commentary is not really your thing, you may find certain challenges have come up that you must work on anyway.

The solar eclipse at the end of April and the full Moon on May 14 both affect your sign strongly. It doesn’t have to mean anything too negative, but you might see where you are limited or held back in some way. Changes are in the wind and once you make them relief comes your way.

Fortunately, you are a dual sign and multi-talented and if anyone can multi-task, it has to be Gemini. You will need this ability throughout May. You will be dealing with the past and the future, settling past accounts and preparing for a very busy future that is fast approaching.

It is not the time to look for results, abundance or success. Those things will come in their own time, but at this time you must give your all to whatever you are doing or desire to accomplish. Alliances, friendships and solid connections will help you along. Your timing may be exceptionally good.

Career and home life are featured throughout the month. Abundant times are just up the road a bit. Use this time wisely by preparing for the future. Situations are ending and you may lose someone you care for or admire. Life is changing and you must change with it. Soon, the days will be bright again.

It’s your time to shine. You kind of get a free pass and you can lay back and enjoy the times or do the Virgo thing, which is to work hard and perfect all areas of your life. Education, travel and spirituality are big keys now. Business, publishing and writing are featured topics as well.

Peaceful, loving, sweet and kind are familiar words associated with fair-minded Libra. Now, you may have to fight to attain all those wonderful, cherished qualities. As John Lennon once said, “The peacemakers are warriors and the warriors are peacemakers.” Many a famous general or leader has come under the stars of Libra.

The full Moon on May 14 takes place in your sign bringing illumination and understanding to many facets of your life. Saturn is involved with the lunation and he will help point out what must be done in order to attain harmony and balance. It’s time to shed what is old and no longer useful.

Relationships are of key interest throughout the month. Negotiations of all sorts take place. Joint monies and inheritances may also be topics to be dealt with. It is probable you are thirsting for something deeper and more meaningful and now is the time to do some deep research and probing of the depths.

Court battles are likely to go your way as powerful types lend help and support. Romantic energies sprout up out of the fresh spring soil. Career opportunities pop up as well. All kinds of changes are in the wind and you must learn to fly and align with all the changes that are taking place.

Career and home topics are heating up as the summer approaches. Travel, education and all sorts of promotional activities take up your time and energy now. Soon, you will have plenty on your platter to ponder. Get real and move towards what you truly desire. A big relationship could be in the works.

Your solar money house may hold a surprise for you and you might be the one holding that $50 million-dollar ticket. Your solar house of inheritances is activated strongly as well. It’s not just about money, but what you truly deserve may come your way now. Writing, publishing and travel are featured as well.

April 2014

by Mac McLaughlin | Mar 31, 2014 | Weekly Forecasts

Intense times are on-board at home and afar. A cardinal Grand Cross is taking shape and will be in effect throughout the last half of April, all of May and the first half of June. Even then, the planets stay red hot and will not cool down for some time to come. Let’s break it down. The cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn lead off the seasons. They carry great power and energy, especially when visited by the planets. Now, Mars is retrograding in Libra, moving much slower than normal giving him more power and status to wield his fiery sword. In the opposite sign, Aries, we have the provocative and unpredictable planet Uranus and this nice little mix of planetary energy can very well spell upsets, explosions, attacks and war.

Libra is the sign of peace or war and Aries is a very war-like sign. We either get it right or fight for what is right. Adding to the mix, we have Jupiter moving through Cancer and Pluto moving in opposition to him in Capricorn. This is bound to bring all kinds of political intrigue, maneuvering and jousting for position. Religion and politics are the two age-old topics guaranteed to set off all kinds of conflicts, justified or not. Interestingly, these four planets are all forming 90-degree aspects to one another forming a volatile and very dangerous Cross. Fate, destiny and karma come into the play in the form of our world leaders acting out their bit parts on the international stage. Vladimir Putin’s Sun is directly aligned with the Grand Cross, as is former President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych’s Mars. The US and Canada’s Sun degree is also aligned with the Grand Cross. All this while our illustrious leader Stephen Harper experiences a solar eclipse on his Sun indicating a most dramatic year of unrest and stress that most likely will have its effect on Canada and its people.

I guess these troubling times arise in their due course through the ages in order to sort through the karmic indebtedness we accrue as we move through the incarnations. On the positive side, we have a chance to right the wrongs and help bring order and peace to the souls. We are one people on one planet and it might be in these times of strife that we truly get this message. We all deserve love, peace, freedom and happiness and now we will have to do what we must do to make it so. Big changes are in the wind.

(March 21 – April 19) Generally, Aries is depicted as the knight that jumps on his charger and goes off in all directions at the same time. Now, you must choose a definite direction and stay the course. Fear not; the stars will help guide you along the way. Stay true to yourself and don’t sell out – no matter what.

(April 20 – May 21) Life is changing on a grand scale. Of course, Taurus really doesn’t like change all that much. They would prefer to stay on familiar ground. Well, that’s not going to work now. Everything is strange and there is much to be rearranged. Go with it and you will land exactly where you are destined to be.

(May 22 – June 20) While Taurus finds changes abhorrent, Gemini thrives on them. Mid-April offers all kinds of very unique developments and you can choose the pathway that best suits your needs, wants and desires. It may not be a cakewalk and while there is a bit of drama, danger and intrigue involved, you might not mind.

(June 21 – July22) Cancer is not a passive sign. If anything, Cancerians have great passion and tenacity for any particular thing. Now, it is your time to do your thing. Reach for the gold ring if that is what you truly desire. Strike while the iron is hot; it is red-hot now. Don’t go overboard though.

23 – August 22) Best get ready for a very hot summer. If it’s not hot, it soon will be. Travel, foreign affairs and affairs of the heart may take place. The main point is that you can truly step up your game and achieve outstanding position and recognition. Don’t wait; don’t hesitate. Start now on your journey of discovery.

22) Life is good; life is sweet. Your solar chart is indicating great opportunities to set yourself up in a very good way. Like attracts like. People with integrity, honour and similar values come into your life now. Relationships feature strongly and, of course, we receive what we put out. Move towards the light.

(September 23 – October 22) Libra is very involved in the Grand Cross taking shape throughout April. Throw in a Libra full Moon lunar eclipse mid-month and we have a recipe for action and drama. It may be a truly exciting time in which you truly shine or wake up with a shiner. Deep and meaningful communications and negotiations take place.

(October 23 – November 21) The Phoenix creates itself a new life form out of the ashes of its old self. The spring season indicates powerful and dramatic changes for Scorpio. Co-rulers Mars and Pluto are very involved in the dynamic cardinal Cross taking shape throughout April bringing on the instinct for deep internal growth and change.

(November 22 – December 21) Lord Jupiter forms an opposition with Pluto in your solar money houses this spring. Money may bring a sense of security and satisfaction, but my bet is you will be feeling restless and seeking a deeper and more meaningful fulfillment. A transformative process is taking place and a new you is birthing along with it.

(December 22 – January 19) Capricorn is one of the signs caught up in the dynamic cardinal Cross taking shape in April. It tells of a time of profound changes. With Lord Saturn retrograding in Scorpio, it is probable you will be rethinking and re-evaluating your value system. Dying and rebirthing is taking place.

(January 20 – February 19) A busy and very involved springtime takes place. Journeys long and short manifest now. Academia, publishing and writing figure into the mix. So does time with friends and family members. Career opportunities present themselves. Some of the decisions that will have to be made may not be easy, but they are very worthwhile.

(February 20 – March 20) Venus, the planet of personal love, affection and creativity, travels through Pisces nearly all of April. Venus is associated with resources and artistic expression. As well, Saturn and Jupiter are casting supportive glances your way bringing stability and good timing. It means you should be very pro-active as you move towards your goals and aspirations.

March 2014

by Mac McLaughlin | Mar 1, 2014 | Weekly Forecasts

Karma drives the wheel of life and is symbolized by a boomerang that inevitably returns home to the sender. A seeker once asked the great spiritual Master, Param Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj, if there was such a thing as national karma. The answer was yes: “The cumulative reaction of karmic debt of nations results in wars, epidemics, destruction by fire or floods, etc.” In his treasure house of a book entitled Spiritual Elixir (a compilation of correspondence to his initiates), he tells us, “Natural calamities, like floods, famines, earthquakes and epidemics, like all other ills are the result, more or less of man’s ignorance of the laws of nature, his incapacity to foresee things and implement measures necessary to eliminate the threatened disasters. With the progressive advancement in scientific knowledge and technological skill, Man is gradually coming to his own, pressing the forces of nature more and more to the service of his kind, and making the most of the potential energy lying hidden and untapped. This is how the law of karma works silently and unnoticed, but inexorably to the good or ill as the case may be.”

We might want to apply that wisdom to the upcoming problems and decisions that will have to be made regarding the pipelines and shipment of oil through our sacred waterways and lands. According to our national horoscope drawn up for July 1, 1867, we are experiencing Pluto moving opposite to our Sun throughout 2014, indicating a time of great unrest, subterfuge, power plays and every other kind of secret manoeuvre that will have a profound effect on our society. Pluto represents breakdown and decay, hidden agendas, wealth and power or the abuse of power, big-time. More scandals will come to light that will rock the government and its people.

We start the astrological new year on March 20; at that time, Jupiter, the great benefactor, sits very close to our Sun indicating good will, harmony and lucky breaks. We are the fortunate ones to be living in this sacred land we call Canada – a land peopled with wise, compassionate, fair-minded souls. If we bump the calendar up 50 or 100 years and read the headlines of the times, we’ll find other problems that plague society. Go back 100 years and we’ll see that people had problems then as well. One thousand years either way and it will be the same. It is the name of the game on dear old planet Earth.

Some like it hot and others not. Well, like it or not, life is going to heat up in the springtime. Be prepared. Don your helmet and shoulder pads and gird your loins. Get ready to do battle. Possibly, the battle is with your internal self, in which a new you emerges from the fray.

The time has come to take stock of where you’re at and where you would truly like to be. You may be restless and, like the bull, banging around in the bullpen. Your heart may be heavy and it is likely that some problems have built up that you haven’t been able to shake off.

You may have to have a little talk with your other half. No, not your partner, but the other twin. There may be some ambiguity or confusion as to how you should go as the month of March begins. It is likely the road with smooth out and you will find your way.

Beneficent Lord Jupiter continues to cast his blessings your way although you may not feel too blessed with the amount of challenges and changes taking place. Ride them out and keep throwing out what is not real, worthy, truthful or honourable. By this act alone, truth, justice and fairness will come your way.

It may be time for some deep soul searching as to what is truly valid, meaningful and real. Possibly, it’s time for a spirit quest, in which you set about to find yourself once again. Saying goodbye is never easy, but it is time to put many things to rest and seek out what is best.

Generally, you have it together; that, nobody can deny. Now a time has come in which you may not have it all together. Although it might be a blow to your ego, it may help you to know that you are human and like the rest of us can make mistakes. It’s all good.

Read Virgo as the message applies to Libra. With mighty Mars backing through your sign, you may feel slightly bruised, used and abused as you head into springtime. You’re plenty tough and resilient though and you will have to use your Libran charm and wit to sidestep the sucker punches that may come your way.

A deep wisdom is being carved into your soul as Saturn visits your sign. What Saturn does bring to the table, however, will be of continued value throughout your life. Losses and sacrifices are experienced when he’s around and there’s often not much left when he leaves. Sobering, yes, but priceless as well.

Oftentimes, Sagittarius is able to see the writing on the wall long before everyone else. Possibly, you can see it now and it is telling you to get a move on and make your moves while you can. Another year from now the story changes and the present opportunities may evaporate into thin air.

When the going gets tough, the Cappy’s get going. This is a very dynamic time in which much is on the line. A rebirth may take place and your old world may be coming apart at the seams. Let it go and get on with what the universe provides for you, for provide it will.

Venus brings her blessings your way throughout the month. We associate her with love, affection, creativity and beauty. She may bring all those gifts your way or she may take them away, helping you to seek on a deeper level in which you inculcate a deep and profound sense of self-worth, worthiness, truth and honour.

It’s your time to shine as the Sun moves through your sign until March 20. Pay attention to your dreams around this date as Mercury and Neptune meet up in your sign bringing powerful psychic experiences along with an enhanced intuitive ability. Listen to your inner voice as it is speaking rather loudly now.
