March 2014



“March is a difficult month for love, a bit cranky and cantankerous, quick to begin a project or an argument and quick to end it--a little star-crossed and fatalistic. It's 2 steps forward and one step back, or even the other way around. Just try to get through it with out destroying every personal relationship in your life, okay?" 
 ~ Deborah

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)Happy Birthday! Generous, happy-go-lucky and popular but a little lazy and self-indulgent, that's you in March. Fantasy plays a strong part, but it can be a creative channel, not just an escape. Independence and self-confidence are keys to growth this month, so be brave. Assert yourself. Focus on your personal goals and please, be patient with your friends. Try not to get touchy when they fail to keep up with your flights of fancy. If you find yourself thrust into a leadership role (you don't usually choose this) accept graciously--you can use your 'other-worldly' talents to make an interesting contribution.

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) You feel a little overwhelmed by the the world this month. You sense it's dark undercurrents and you don't like them, and may naturally be tempted to escape from reality by fantasizing, maybe about single hood. Be careful--don't let that notorious and impulsive Mars temper trick you into heated confrontations and arguments with your nearest and dearest. What you're really working on this year is "the love that lasts forever", so don't throw all that effort away because of 1 (or 2) difficult months. Be patient with everyone (especially yourself) and have faith. Try to make kindness your minimum standard 

Taurus (Apr. 21-May-21) Your energy's zapped, no drive to get anything done, you see mountains of work pile up on your desk unfinished...Give yourself a break! This astrological production gridlock lasts for the next 2 months so take plenty of time to get your work done, stop over-committing, and don’t stress. Neither love nor career is easy this year, but at least you'll have plenty of energy and drive to get all of the work done you want to do after May 19th. Then you'll find yourself constantly busy. You'll need that so you don’t get restless and anxious over your love life.

Gemini (May 22-June 20) It’s already an interesting year, Gemini. Financial opportunities grow and thrive like kudzu in Louisiana but, as things tend to go, the opposite is true in love. This year making love grow feels more like trying to keep a tea rose alive during a summer in Austin. You crave a close physical and emotional bond but you see every weed and aphid in your current relationships. You're combative, ready to kill each other one minute and then rip each other’s clothes off the next. Please, before you throw in your trowel, just wait until May's over, okay?

Cancer(June 21-July 22) You face an interesting dichotomy this month: Love is strong, important and very real, as it is all year, but home will be problematic until May 19th. Issues will be addressed, repairs will be made, arguing ensues. Or, work changes, projects come home, arguing ensues...you get the picture. But step away from the house and...bliss. So, you simply have to get out of the house. Plan a trip, especially a long trip requiring a passport, and all will be right in your world. Embrace hotels and VRBO, get someone to water your plants and feed your pets and come back after May 19th.

Leo(July 23-Aug. 23) You used to be such a happy sort, more interested in enjoyment than indulging in much introspection. This month, though, you're looking deep into your own soul. Your focus is on serious subjects: What truly interests you, what is really important, what's the big picture? You have plenty of drive and determination to make the necessary changes, but you feel frustrated. Why all these obstacles? Please don't be in a hurry. Once you've mastered the lesson of learning when to be self assertive and when to relax, then you'll be able to count on the support of those closest to you.

Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22)This might be a difficult year for your career, Virgo. Even though your focus, time, and attention have been toward your finances, there is a problem with March. You might lose an extra source of income, or you have to quit a second job, or some unexpected expenses may come up, and you have to spend more money than you budgeted, or you might get some bad advice and make bad investments. Talk things over with people who's advice you trust before you make any big decisions. A little advice can go a long way, especially from someone who's been there before.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Libra is traditionally the sign of balance, but lately you've been all over the place, and either your energy is too high or its too low, you’re argumentative or defensive (or both) and you aren't willing to compromise. And to top it off, you may feel like someone pushed the 'pause' button on the forward momentum you've been experiencing in your career. You are having to redo things you thought were completed, but you need to make an impact, for the world to benefit from your actions. So, Be patient. Things will look better at the end of May.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21) You can run but you can't hide, at least not from the past. It's coming back to bite you this month. You don’t have the energy to deal with it, even though you feel your personal power and self control has somehow been eroded. Your first instinct is to escape and avoid, but it's foolish to hold on to something you know isn't necessary to your life anymore. Let it go. And try to do it without emotional outbursts or loss of temper. You may feel a little directionless, with a vague sense of being off balance, but try to remember: It's not forever.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You want excitement in your love life and in your relationships. You’re attracted to people who are unusual, different, and original, and you want some spice so you find yourself pursuing a completely different group of friends. You may even try to make significant changes in your love relationships to make things more exiting, but my advice is: Wait. Don't jump too fast. If you act impulsively things could go badly. Even your new friends may turn out to be a bad fit for you later. Try not to make changes just for the sake of change.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Suddenly you feel as though you've been zapped by an invisible ray gun sucking all the energy and drive from your body. With your career goals and ambitions nothing usually stands in your way, but could it be that you lack confidence? You? And you're fighting with coworkers, with people in your office, with family about your career, with bosses or mentors. You're thinking you may need to reconsider, maybe look your plans over again to see what needs adjusting. Everything will likely change anyway,  so be flexible. You may have taken on too much, so unload a little of the weight. You’ll feel better. 

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 19) If your love life has been a little out of kilter, or your partnership off balance, this year is the antidote.  Wanderlust, travel fever, romance and career advancement should be daily themes, and somehow they all fit together like puzzle pieces. Make serious travel plans. This may require adapting and compromise, but if you're willing to do the work, work, work, you should have some fun, fun, fun. Your daily routine will be over-filled, so let yourself have small moments of indulgence. Being rigid won’t help you: Allow time to relish life’s little pleasures and you will be better able to handle your case load.
