We should watch where we are going as Luna squares naive Neptune and self-centered Sun. While it’s wonderful to utilize our personalities and talents to rise and connect with others, we need to be careful of not stepping ahead of others, to get to the front of the line. Slow down for a minute or two, to take a breath and know that ‘we got this one’. Trying too hard could cause clumsiness. Today’s Gemini Moon is favorable for small trips and errands, communications, phone calls, letter writing, mingling, and networking. Throw your seeds into the air so that they may scatter, then let the universe do the rest. Happy birthday Leap Year babies! “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge – myth is more potent than history – dreams are more powerful than facts – hope always

Mom of two, Mayim Bialik (Blossom, Big Bang Theory), recently shared some experiences from what she calls the “Family Road Trip From Hell” on Kveller.com. In one amusing anecdote which she refers to as “The Pasta/Ketchup Incident,” she describes the “holy fit” her son, 3-1/2 year-old Fred, threw when he couldn’t have ketchup on his noodles.

While it’s not at all unusual for a 3-1/2 year-old…

John and Yoko married on March 20,1969.

It’s nearly February 29th, the day we laydeez are supposed to get down on our bended knees and propose. So it’s nice that Venus, the maiden planet, is in trousers right now, sorry that’s in Aries. And she is just reaching an opposition with the planet of commitment, Saturn, in the sign of relationships.


Saturn is retrograding, of course, so you may find yourself going over old territory in terms of relationship. When the old man goes backwards like this, it’s as if we have to be extra-specially sure of the foundations of something. In Libra, it’s likely to be our one-to-one long-term partnership, our sense of commitment to another human being. 


With Venus in opposition in independently-minded Aries, there is only one question you need to answer: do you love each

The opposition between Venus and Saturn is closing as I write. Venus is direct, Saturn is retrograde so it’s closing fast.

The will manifest as pressure on everyone everywhere to do the right thing in relationships. Venus also rules money so finances will be affected as well.

The Moon in Taurus provides us another day of calm but in the background, Venus in Aries is applying in opposition to retrograde Saturn in Libra.

The latter would manifest as pressure to get yourself together on love and money fronts.

If you feel there is something you should do in regards to another person, it’s in your best interest to do the thing, even if you’re scared. Similarly, try to do the right thing with money which may mean spending more or spending less depending on your situation. Most definitely pay your debts.

Dear Venus in Sagittarius:

I’ve been watching you, and I must say: I like your style. I’ve seen you hop the train for weekend excursions in the states, fly out to Berlin for the international film festival and relax in the solitude of the sands of San Juan. What makes it so great, is that this is only the physical part of your travels and adventures that I’ve witnessed.

Almost every time I take a peek on your bookshelf, there’s a new piece of mind-expanding literature to be found. Or, when  I snoop through your mail (please don’t turn me in!!) there’s always some foreign flick I can’t pronounce with your name on it. It seems as if spiritual growth and broadening your life philosophy is just your thing, huh?

I love listening to you discuss your life …

For those individuals genuinely interested in astrology, there’s often an uneasy confusion due to the variety and quality levels of information that are available. Distinguishing well-written, in depth  and quality astrological analysis from shoddy journalism fakin’ the funk as life-changing zodiac forecasts becomes increasingly perplexing.

I can’t speak for everyone. However, for myself, the journey of astrological discovery began with the desire to learn more about my “sign”, also known as my sun sign.

So my words won’t prove to be confusing:

the term “sun sign” is used because it’s indicative of the placement of the sun on the day and at the time of your birth.

When astrologers refer to sun signs, in lay people’s language that means: “who you attractin’ with that line, what’s your name, what’s your sign?”

Got it? Good.

The astrological …

Dear Sagittarius:
I’m truly amazed at the progress you’ve made since our last communication. Whether you’re packing your bags for the Cannes Film Festival in France or contemplating overseas treks to New Zealand, you never cease to amaze me.

Your window of the world has become boundless and this is something to be truly admired.

One of the ideas that stuck with me in our most recent conversation is this:

traveling, whether mentally or physically, loses it’s lustre if your worldview has not expanded when you return. It only stands to reason that travel, in it’s most genuine sense, stretches the mind and enlarges both the internal and external worlds.

The fact remains that you must bring your enthusiasm and inspiration with you if you’re going to derive meaning from your experience. If you board the plane with …
