Hor-O-Scopes:

Taurus (April 20 –May 21st)
No – it hasn’t been your imagination – the astrological energies have been kinda tough on you ... even bringing matters of your career, home life, and heck, even your relationships to an "either this changes or I’m leaving!" showdown. Well, good news: Life will be calming down and easing up ...a little. Venus traveling through your sign will make you wonderfully magnetic, appealing and even savvier at negotiating matters to get your way through April 11th. Then she helps strengthen your favorite Taurus subjects of security and finances through the end of the month and even allures some valuable relationships into your court as well. All in all your social life will be perked up in April with some amazing dynamics with friends and generous folks who want to help you to reach your goals. Be cautious, however, during the wild energies of April 27th - April 29th, as someone might exit your life as quickly as they entered it. If they were that shaky, you didn’t want them anyway, sweet Taurus.

Scorpio (Oct. 23rd – Nov. 22nd)
No doubt about it: The past few months have been intense and dramatic for you, Scorpio. Confrontations and crises might have been rampant: some involved you and affected you, others didn’t involve you, but still affected you anyway. The good news is that, although your changes are far from over, at least most of the shoes that were going to drop have done so, leaving you with a clearer picture of what you’re dealing with. Even better, the energies gathering now are working more for your benefit. So use your characteristic of being the “Phoenix” - one who rises from the ashes into something more glorious - and carry on. Even during the dates when surprises and unexpected shifts are erupting, matters can end up promoting you, supporting your goals, or bringing people into your life who love you and who are compassionate to your wants and needs, especially April 2nd-5th and 26th-30th. Use the innovative ideas on the 20th and 22nd to further your goals, possibly financially, and use the revelations on the 26th-28th to discover who’s in your court and who isn’t. And then do what you must.

Astrology Zone Scorpio:

Your romantic life is about to perk up beautifully. It's time to go out and see what the world has to offer, dear Scorpio. Every member of your sign, of every possible marital status, will be included.
Do you have no one to love? Mars will enter your romance sector on April 6, to join Uranus and Mercury, already there, to stay until May 15. From the moment Mars enters, you will start to have romantic choices. With Mars in Pisces, the sign of two fishes, you may have two sweethearts in time to decide about.

I won't hold my breath there.

I mentioned last month's eclipses, so let me say this: If you didn't get any news near March 3 or 18, the dates of the eclipses that fell in your friendship and true love sectors, respectively, then you might this month. The job of an eclipse is to shed brilliant light on a situation and help you evolve in maturity by what you hear.

If you didn't see any developments in your love life in March, then watch to see if anything develops this month, one month to the day later this month. That would be April 3 and April18, plus or minus four days.

Also watch April 23 carefully too, for that is the date that Mars, your ruler, will oppose the exact mathematical degree of last month's lunar eclipse of March 3, at 13 degrees of Virgo. That day - April 23 - could prove to be significant and very revealing, one way or the other.

Last month's solar eclipse of March 18 will be highlighted by Mars on May 13 and you may want to mark it down on your calendar in case I forget to tell you in my next report. That's when Mars will move over the precise degree of that eclipse, 28 degrees Pisces. In all, your houses of friendship, love, romance, pregnancy, and children, as well as creativity, will strongly highlighted. Truly, your private life is certainly coming into focus and progressing.

Now let's turn to matters related to your health.
Are you feeling stressed and in need of more exercise? Look into your options just after the new moon, April 17. Diet and fitness regimens that are begun within a few days of the new moon, especially the friendly new moon, like the one we have, have an outstanding chance of success.
With Mars in your fifth house, rather than disciplined visits to the gym, doing fun sports that are new to you would work better. Chose one sport you'd like and then be quick to sign up for lessons. Make it a sport that will allow you to test your strength and test your skills as you go along - Aries, the sign of the new moon - will make you very competitive!

Meh, I'm not a sports person. I'm gonna take Latin dance again instead.

The month ends on a big surprise, and you guessed it - it will have something to do with your love life (or, your second love, a creative project).
On April 29, all matters in your fifth house will be glowing for love, romance, pregnancy, and care of children or, alternatively, a project that allows you to express your deepest creativity. It looks like this might be a terrific day, especially if your birthday falls near 17 degrees Scorpio: November 9.
However, because on March 29 Mars will be meeting with Uranus, the planet of all things unpredictable, I can't say for sure that developments will be upbeat. Uranus is the independent planet that operates by its own rules. This could be a hot aspect, one that tends to spark angry responses on one hand, and passion and love on the other. So be careful - it might not be a time to bring up news that would shock or upset your partner. To say the least, this is not a subtle aspect!

If you are single, Mars in Pisces will be a blessing for it will take your love life from zero to 100 in a flash. Mars will enter April 6 and leave May 15, but in that time, you will have the power to start a new relationship that could stand the test of time.

Do you want an extra freelance or part time job? Take a look at the bulletin board notices and make your appointment with a potential employer for your money-magnet day, April 9. Ask for more money than you feel you can negotiate, because with your persuasive ways, you may just be able to get it.

*shrug*

If you need a new position that offers more responsibility, then wait until mid-August to begin to interview. If you are not happy in your current job and don't mind making a lateral move, then look into job opportunities this month. If you are self-employed you will be pleased with the new clients you are able to pick up.

Hm, I'll keep that in mind.

Taurus:

Mars' entry into your people / places / events sector on April 6 to May 16 will ensure that you'll have more time to see friends and unwind, sure to feel luxurious after such a long hard-working phase. You may also make the acquaintance of a new friend too and when you do, this person will have a positive influence on your life, opening new doors and getting you excited about new interests and possibilities.

With several important planets in your twelfth house, you'll feel a strong corresponding need for a little quality time for yourself this month. Having had a plethora of clients, coworkers, friends, and family leaning heavily on you for weeks, enjoying a stretch of unstructured time to spend as you please will seem like you just won the cosmic sweepstakes. Book a massage, visit a museum, browse for new spring clothes, or take in a movie or two. The quiet time you take for yourself now will pay dividends later when you emerge more rested and are able to set priorities more easily.

Venus will be in Taurus from April 1 - 11, a time when you'll be best at mesmerizing others to your charms. Buy new clothes and make changes to your appearance at this time, for you'll like the compliments you collect.

With swimsuit season approaching, you may now regret those late afternoon selections you made from cafeteria vending machines. Find a friend to exercise with and be consistent. Plan to start your new program at the new moon, April 17.

Making a substantial change to your lifestyle is often hard for a Taurus, but keep in mind that once you do, you'll likely stay the course. Your sign's proclivity for consistency is your forte and now will help you win the day. As new habits replace old ones you'll find progress accelerates. Stick with it - you'll see results sooner than you thought possible.

After the new moon April 17, your living situation could bring exciting news. Certain aspects suggest that within days of this date, you may discover that you're able to afford to lease a more spacious apartment, or to finally buy property you've had your eye on and feared someone else would snap up. If shopping for a mortgage, you may be pleasantly surprised by one with highly attractive terms. You've had this desire to increase your long-range security for some time, but now it seems within reach.

*sigh* I'd like to get a raise for that apartment, please. I'm not terribly thrilled at my rent going up.

Keep in mind that Saturn's new orbit will not only improve your chances for travel but will also help you in the love department, particularly if you're single and hoping to find the right one for you. Saturn is currently touring your fifth house of new love, so that's why you have every reason to be optimistic. Saturn went retrograde in December 2006, so you've had to be patient. As they say, good things come to those who wait.

Romantically, last month probably brought a few intriguing romantic suitors to your path, but chance are, you were too busy to notice! This month, one shy person who has been smitten by you may take another small step forward. Have a cup of coffee together. With Venus in Taurus from April 1 - 11, you'll be the zodiac's darling. It's a grand month to be out and about, so be open to new people.

I'm kind of baffled why Saturn in a love house is going to do anything good for you.

(This doesn't seem to be online yet.)

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
Celibacy is an interesting way to see the world. It's like encountering sex from the outside looking in, and experiencing the sexuality of others as a dimension apart, something out of reach. The kind of celibacy I see in your chart involves you experiencing yourself as a fully self-contained entity. Then, if and when you choose to open up, you're devoted to that experience, as an individual, free and able to experiment in the moment. What seems to be an alternation between two realities, sexual and non-sexual, appears to be rooted in a question about whether you're truly appreciated. You may feel that in holding back, you will get the answer to your question, and you may; but the paradox of that position is that to be appreciated, you need to offer some element of your consciousness. Anyway, feeling unappreciated is not just getting old, it's very old, but whatever comes next is going to come from you.

I like that. It's appropriate.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
Most people have no idea the extent to which you struggle with your security, particularly at certain times when your worst fears act up. You are able to maintain a stable façade of strength, authority and integrity, no matter what you may be going through inside. And what you've been through the past few weeks has probably rivaled any prior time in your life for self-doubt and perhaps conflict, whether inner or outer. On one level, you seem to be in a battle to break free of the past, to be heard and acknowledged, and to forgive yourself for the ways in which you don't manage to get your message across to the people you think need to hear it most. You would go a long way toward progress if you declare the struggle over and tap into the rapidly developing sky that is heavily favoring the water signs, including yours. This is less about affirming something and more about consciously focusing on a feeling of safety and sanity that will be r ight there when you reach for it.

Here.

Scorpio folks are at better at justification than anyone! Ya'll rock the self-propelled visionary bunch o' baloney. A songwriter friend of mine from back home and I were on the phone the other night and he was telling me a story, telling me he had to get out of a particular personal situation real soon. And he said, "What you never meant can become your life." Leave it to a songwriter to sum up some profound sh*t in one line. March is a good month for Scorpios to tie up some loose ends (and that is a nice way of saying "Get rid of the stuff you don't want to become your whole life.") It's real easy to fall into the comfort of a thing, the rhythm and cadence and measure of something because it's ... well, because it's there. It's available. It happens to be there at the time and you're too lazy or unmotivated to change it so you let it go on, then go on for too long. Don't allow something you never meant to become your whole life just because you're real real good at making up an excellent justification bunch o' baloney excuse.

Susan Miller-Taurus:

March will be a busy month, with all sorts of developments in love, friendship, and career. It's one of those months that will bring news of both dramatic endings and exciting beginnings. Months that hold eclipses, like this one do, tend to be that way. Your emotions will run the gamut from sentimental to enthusiastic, frustrated to relieved, and hopeless to optimistic. Keep in mind that the month will get much better as you go along!
Everyone will be feeling the same way. Of course, these eclipses will fall in different houses for each sign, but because Uranus will be so active at this eclipse, news will be sudden and somewhat nerve jangling. The first part of the month will be the hard part, but as you see, things will get easier as you go along.
If you feel you don't like what you are hearing, just wait - around the next corner will be good news. Let's have a look at the month in detail.
A major lunar eclipse on March 3 will represent a tough point of the month. This will be a full moon with the power of three full moons all rolled into one. The most likely way this eclipse will affect you is to bring a romantic situation to culmination. (There are possibilities other than romance, and you and I will talk about those, but for now, let's talk about this possibility.)

Well, the one that I mentioned last month didn't happen (big surprise), so again...meh.

If you have no children (and don't want them) and you aren't dating, there is one other way this eclipse may touch you. The fifth house (where the March 3 eclipse falls) covers not only children but also creative efforts. If you are creative, no doubt you've referred to your body of work as your "baby," and indeed it is! In this case, if you are creative, you will find that a project nears conclusion on or within five days of March 3. There will be something very important about it, too - watch and see.
I should mention here that if you don't see something occur in regard to one or more of these areas - love, pregnancy, care for children, or a creative project - pay attention to what occurs next month, on or near the next full moon on April 3, plus or minus five days. Some eclipses deliver their news exactly one month to the day later.

Well, that sounds downright nice!

This eclipse, falling in the very first week of March, won't be an easy one because the moon - ruling your most tender emotions - will receive a direct opposition from Uranus, the planet ruling sudden, unexpected occurrences. What does happen will be something you could never prepare for, because news will seem strange or come out of left field. That is the nature of Uranus. It may be comforting to realize that everyone, of every sign will be in the same boat. Keep your wits about you, though, for as March progresses it will improve.

The month's second eclipse is a new moon solar eclipse due March 18 in Pisces, and this time will highlight a friendship. You may now join a club or organization, and it would be a good time to do so. Certainly you will be rubbing shoulders with many more people than usual in weeks ahead, whether or not you are part of a group. The person you meet now, or the friend you've known for some time, will be instrumental in teaching you something important that you can use for profound personal growth. Eclipses don't do anything on a small scale, that's for sure!

No matter what your status, when Venus glides through Taurus from March 17 until April 11, you will be the center of attention and find it your very best time for fun and love.
If you have no special someone, see what occurs on March 31, a heavenly night, thanks to the interplay of Venus and Uranus. It doesn't matter whether you are a male or female reader, you'll be showered by glitter dust - and all of the wonderful developments that ensue will be completely unexpected!

Note to self: go buy more glitter.

Scorpio:

"A friend may give you plenty to think about when she or he begins to act oddly near the eclipse on March 3. Mercury will be retrograde at the time, so the episode that comes up may have to do with an unresolved difficulty that occurred some time ago. Now you'll get additional information that might unnerve or trouble you. If so, you may end the relationship. If, on the other hand, you feel you do have a basically strong bond between you, explore the possibility that a miscommunication may have played a part and work to fix things between you.
The first eclipse falls in your friendship sector, so it's likely that an episode involving a friend will be highlighted. On the other hand, it may not be the scenario that I just outlined, that a friend will bring difficult news. It could also be that you will be worried about the welfare of a friend this month. You may hear that a friend is very ill, for example, or going though a life crisis, and be drawn to help. In this case, you will want to be with that person more than usual, or to help that person, if necessary, from your base afar.

Hm. That sounds more like how my previous month went. This makes me nervous because things are already rocky. (Note to self: stay quiet until next week.)

You may alternatively find that disagreements with family will come up a bit more frequently. Just in case, make an effort to keep discussions at home peaceful. Avoid being too provocative in your discussions with your parents. It appears they have their hands full with their own lives now, so trying to get their full attention may be tough this month. That doesn't mean your folks don't care about your concerns - they do! As you'll soon see, timing is everything in life!

Same old, same old.

Romance will bloom beautifully now. This is the one area of your life that should bring your greatest joys and biggest benefits. The new moon solar eclipse on March 18, falling just two days before the advent of spring in northern hemispheres, will usher in a plethora of opportunities to meet not one but TWO interesting romantic interests. I say that because this eclipse is in Pisces, considered a "double bodied sign."
The eclipse on March 18 will be a new moon, and therefore it will open a new path. This one will fall in your house of new love, so if you are single, this one will be your best friend by starting the spark of new love. Rarely have you had such a superb time to meet someone new!
If anyone has admired you from afar, this month you will know when he or she steps forward. Be brave - things will happen quickly and take you by surprise.

I won't hold my breath. I can assure you nobody's admiring me! (Nobody is single any more.)

This March 18 eclipse could easily bring news of a new baby, even if you haven't planned one. Actually, with Uranus so active, this pregnancy would be quite unexpected. If you are not ready for a baby, be very, very careful. Not all eclipses deliver their news precisely at the time of their appearance, so it might be wise to be careful for the next six months or so. On the other hand, you may be thrilled with this possibility.

No worries, mate.

Creatively you have a wonderful month ahead. You'll outdo yourself and everyone else with brilliant ideas and stunning displays of your talent! Solar eclipses that fall in the solar fifth house (as you have in the second half of March) often open up new paths not for a day or two but for months, and even years, ahead. You may now hit on a new idea or you may come up with an important new technique, concept, or idea that you choose to follow for a very long time into the future. If you are an artist, musician, photographer, painter, illustrator, sculptor, designer, poet, or actor, or work in other cultural arts, you can now start a new body of work that you will be very proud of in the years ahead. Eclipses rarely do things on a small scale. This is your time!

Cool.

Whee, February. Love is in the air like a fart in a car.

These are from Victoria Bazeley's e-mail (not posted online yet) and the Third Age blog.
Blog first:

Taurus: Eligible, interested Taureans are in the midst of a two year eclipse cycle designed to plop them into a suitable relationship before 2008. 

You've gotta be kidding me, right?

This is reminding me of that.

Some Taureans have already found themselves delightfully so plopped.  The energy around Valentine’s Day is a bit bobbly, though, for these Taureans, as there’s a bit of a break-up/make-up vibe in the air.  If all goes well, the romantic relationship of the moment will turn into something serious by September when Saturn moves into the Taurus solar 5th house.  Sometime before the end of April, Taureans in a new romantic relationship should find out if all is going to go well.  Advice for Valentine’s Day is to listen, with alert attention,  to anything your significant other has to say, but to hold off reading too much into it until the energy settles down a bit.  Taureans in any kind of a relationship should feel free to celebrate with some good old-fashioned passionate and romantic sex.  Single Taureans should keep their hopes up for good romantic energy by the end of September or October.

Meh, I won't hold my breath.

TAURUS: APRIL 21 - MAY 20

What a month March is astrologically, Taurus. You could see breakups and makeups in the areas of friendship and romance.

Whee.

If you play your cards right, you could find out between now and April whether the new love of your life is going to be the one you get really serious about.

I'm going to vote for "not." Yes, I've hinted about some interest going on, but it's pretty well guaranteed to not pan out due to life circumstances (more his than mine). Which is all for the best. And at any rate, I'd rather either have someone suitable around or nobody at all. So.

"If all does not become clear this spring, know that the universe is firmly intending for you to have both the right friends and the right lovers by the end of October of this year."

...yeah. Right. That'd be nice. But.

"If you're currently single and don't want to be--socialize! Take the lead in arranging some group activities or go anywhere that lots of people congregate. By March 17, you'll have the protection of Venus in your own sign, indicating that no matter what happens in the early part of the month, there is love in the air for you.

I just can't help but laugh at that. It's not like that happens every spring or anything.

If romance isn't on your agenda, then you could be dealing with the fallout of an opposition between Saturn and Neptune at the end of February. Saturn has been emphasizing home and family stuff at the same time Neptune has been emphasizing career stuff. Hopefully you got your home-related obligations under control last month and are in a good position to take advantage of Mars in Aquarius from February 25 on to really turn on the wattage when it comes to career. The sun and a solar eclipse in your 11th house will help you figure out your goals. You only get this chance to really run with career energy once every couple of years, Taurus, so jump on it!

Finally, Venus in Aries in your solar 12th house until the 17th indicates this is a good time to spend money on some pampering and private rejuvenation. If you could indulge in something both appealing and healthy, that would be ideal.

Scorpio:  Uranus in the Scorpio solar 5th house of romance for the past couple of years has been subjecting Scorpios to some bobbly romantic energy for a couple of years in hopes of getting said Scorpios past their romantic issues and into a brave new world of exciting possibilities for deep connection.

Well, I suppose I can't argue with that.

Getting past romantic issues sometimes requires confronting them, but for the next couple of months, Uranus and an eclipse cycle are more interested in getting single Scorpios into a new relationship so they can confront things with the help of a creative and stimulating partner. 

Well, that'd be interesting...but then again, I doubt these days that working out your fucked-up personal issues while with someone else really works.

So some single Scorpios have the definite possibility of getting some thrilling and unexpected romantic news around Valentine’s Day. 

Ooops, too late!

 

Well, the Taurus horoscope is depressing, all about losing a friend after they do something horrible or something. WTF? Oh, and also, my roommate might move out. Well, duh, he's doing that today :P Oh, and I might travel- duh, it's frigging Labor Day. What do ya know, predictions DO work! :P

And as for my love life, not so good at the start, especially this weekend. (So much for the progressed moon action.) But perhaps later.

Romantically, with Mars, Mercury, Venus, and the Sun moving through your true love sector, you'll be quite magnetic and ready to meet new people. However, the difficult aspects at play early in the month may rock your world. Wear your armor near September 3 - 5, when a romantic someone is likely to cause all sorts of problems. (Uranus will oppose the Sun and Mercury, considered a very nerve-jangling aspect that could easily zero in on your romantic life.)

Keep romance light and make no commitments until planets start to behave themselves. If single, you do have plenty of aspects that will be helpful in starting a new chapter in your romantic life, so hang in there.

As you get to the second eclipse, September 22, you will see events turn your way. While all eclipses bring a curve ball and a corresponding need to adjust to new conditions, you will soon find that the changes will be in your favor.

f you are single and not dating, your best hope for new love during all of 2006 will come on and in the weeks that follow the solar eclipse, September 22. You may make the acquaintance of someone you find quite compatible and who you will want to see many times again. Since this is eclipse time, you should have lots of hope. Eclipses bring on big life events, and solar eclipses open new paths. While you MIGHT be saying goodbye to someone if you have not been especially committed to that person, you should be looking ahead. You have so much to look forward to, dear Taurus.

Your very best romantic days will fall on September 22, 25. and 29 this month.

This month the planets will be acting like mavericks, especially in the most nerve-jangling moments of the month, September 3 though September 8. As hard as this may be to accept, nothing you do will change that. With Uranus acting up, events will take a highly unpredictable course, especially in the area of friendship and love.

With Saturn opposed to Neptune all month, you will have little choice but to take a pragmatic approach to life. Accept what you can't change, and work on the areas that you can.

Keep romance light until planets start behaving themselves. Your best moment for meeting a new love will come on and in the weeks that follow the solar eclipse, September 22. This second eclipse is very friendly and may help you set your romantic life on sturdy ground and find you moving off in a new direction. If you have not been dating, you may soon find someone who is highly compatible, loyal, and true blue. You will be very discriminate - current planets touring critical Virgo attest to that - but even so, you will have Cupid on your side, and that's important!

Keep reminding yourself that, while things may start out difficult, you'll see by month's end that things will start moving in the right direction, and you will find yourself in far better shape than when you began it.

Okay, moving on to the sign where the planets actually align with my dang natal chart...Scorpio:

A love relationship is reaching a critical phase and you'll have to make a decision about it much sooner than you thought possible. The eclipses will be back this month and will be firmly entrenched in their new family of signs - Pisces and Virgo - putting major emphasis on your personal life.

Perhaps without consciously knowing it, things have been evolving between you and someone special, and now, due to a series of events in early September, your attention will be swiftly shifted to your personal life. Things could go either way and will have more twists and turns than a page-turning novel. Strap on your seat belt, dear Scorpio, and be ready to go!

I'd like to know how I'm not consciously knowing that I'm evolving with someone special when there's no someone special. But anyhoo...

It is unusual to see such a large number of tense cosmic events falling so close to one another. That will happen in September's first week. Each will have a plus or minus area of influence of a day or two, so when taken as a group, they will blend together into one big cake batter. Most people will be very tense - people you know - and possibly you, too.

ou have Jupiter in Scorpio this year until Thanksgiving. This planet of happiness and good fortune will be at your side to protect you in powerful, and sometimes mysterious, ways. You have not seen this type of help in over a decade.

You know, I'm still waiting for this to kick in.

Jupiter will be in fine angle to Uranus, planet of surprise, all month, and Uranus is now circulating in your house of true love. This means that while this month you may assume your love life has been blown to smithereens, what has occurred may be a blessing in disguise. When new love arrives, it will happen in a random, offhand way, at a time when you will be barely thinking about romance. If a meeting doesn't happen this month, you should encounter even better vibes for romance as you get closer to your birthday. Keep your chin up - all things happen for a reason.

On September 3, Mercury will act a bit nutty. It will oppose Uranus, but send sweet comforting messages to Jupiter. Uranus will make you tense, but Jupiter may bring good news or a fun trip. (Uranus may give you a flat tire, though, or other problems on the road through mechanical breakdowns.) As you see, this day brings a slap and a kiss, so if you feel confused, join the crowd. We all will be feeling the same way.

I should pause for a moment to let you know that you will have four mainly happy planets in your house of friendships and people-populated events as the month opens, so you will have no shortage of things to do with your pals. If you want to get out of the house and the office for a little fun, you'll have those options, particularly in the beginning of September.

The tensions will continue to build, however, until you reach the full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7. On this day, you will have a full moon eclipse in your fifth house of true love, and this eclipse will be operative plus or minus four days from this date. If you are close to your partner, you may decide to talk seriously about the future. If you are not, things will go from bad to worse.

If you are single and not currently dating, there is a good chance you could meet someone at this time. This is possible because Uranus will be on a mission to radically change your lifestyle in a way you don't expect, so you could conceivably meet a new person.

Your best nights for new love or to enjoy love you have now will be at month's end: September 23, 25, 26, and 29. You might like the events of September 7, but the aspects are so wild and volatile, it is impossible to know if you will be happy or desperately unhappy at that time.

If the September 7 eclipse does not affect you in terms of love or children, you may feel this eclipse in terms of a creative project. By the way, these possibilities aren't mutually exclusive - you may have a personal relationship issue come up AND be focused on an important assignment, too.

Clearly, the universe will be pushing you forward, urging you to decide how you feel about a close relationship and to settle future plans. Nothing in this universe stands still, and if you thought you could, this eclipse will prove otherwise.

Keep in mind that this year you have Jupiter, planet of good fortune, in Scorpio, now in elegant angle to Uranus. How fortunate can you get? These two planets will cook up all sorts of unusual circumstances to help you find the love you deserve. Uranus is quite a strange planet and works in ways you'd never expect. Have some faith that the universe makes things happen for a reason, and that you are being gently (or strongly!) pushed in a certain direction this month.

I wonder if anything will have actually happened a month from now? On the one hand, the astrology looks excellent. On the other hand, there's this, plus the fact that I'm cynical and realistic and that my luck tends to run towards the craptastic as a general rule.

on this day. Figures.

For me, astrology is a big cross between "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if..." and then real life being brutally disappointing. So sue me, I just want stuff to exist that isn't boring-ass daily reality.

But hey, not to worry, Michael Lutin's got an explanation!

here's more dish on Jupiter Uranus
sometimes it's a little thing that develops later
other times it's a delayed event
but Jupiter Uranus is always a lucky turn
a blessing in disguise
even if you don't see it that way in the beginning
it is an unexpected twist of irony
that eventually works for your benefit
but you can't control it
or decide how or what you want it to be
It doesn't haul in Prince Charming
or Ms. Right
and it doesn't take away
all the frustration or depression, or rage
you may feel for all the things you don't have
The conjunction of Mars and the South Node
can be mighty irritating
and not just for Virgos
who are so impatient now
you should NOT get in their way
but everybody feels it
as we are moving toward a full moon eclipse in pisces
(the next week message wil be up tuesday)
you'll see how you have to let life happen to you
and by golly
it will
and not just the bad stuff either

So.

And speaking of Michael Lutin, he's got monthlies up.

TAURUS
It’s a big stretch for you, but try to be spontaneous and to include people in your life you would have once found objectionable. We’ve all got fears and prejudices that stem from death anxiety, but don’t let that interfere with your desire to do something meaningful while you’re alive.

SCORPIO
You don’t need an astrologer to tell you that you’re in a wildly creative and passionate space now, mentally and emotionally. You’re either in love or creating a masterpiece, or both. Keep in mind, however, that another obsession is money. Not that your fear of going broke would ever let you be bought..

At the moment, I can't say any of that is true. Creating a masterpiece, not so much is being done on that on any front. Certainly not in luv. And no objectionable people are hanging about. Well, maybe I'll pick up some weirdoes at Scottish Games this weekend or something. We can hope some of that starts to work out in September.

I do find it interesting when my sun and rising horoscopes seem to tie together.
