A conflict appears between pride and finances today.  You want to look good but you’re spending too much money, or else a project is too expensive.  Scale down!  On the mental front an idea, book or conversation is successful.  The more talk today, the better.  The media and the news are favorable, and short trips [...]

Ideas move so quickly that they need to get in line!  Angry or disturbed speech is a danger, and accusations fly.  People drive too fast, and nobody is willing to wait for anything.  Pushing to the front of a queue doesn’t work.  Relax.  Use your mental acuity to brainstorm through problems, rather than to strong- [...]

Frantic energy is causing people to speak too harshly and drive too fast.  Watch the look on others’ faces to know if this refers to you.  It’s “all systems go” and nobody is willing to stop.  Inflexibility is a problem today, yours and other peoples’.  Nobody will back down from anything!  Benjamin Franklin said, ”A man [...]

Assertive activity!  This is what is engaging everyone, but be careful.  People think “Aha, this is what needs to happen!” and they rush around, determined to impose their brilliant idea on the world.  Individual activity is the problem – everyone is determined to go it alone, without conferring with others.  Imagine people bumping into each [...]

Nothing much happens early in the day.  Electrical or mechanical matters draw your attention; then they are resolved.  Sentimentality plays a role in the day.  You hear something that touches you and inspires you in a new way.  Be happy, a new stability has entered the picture.  People are less “pie in the sky” oriented [...]

A friend is happy to see you and this is a great day to catch up on the news.  An excellent idea or strategy appears.  It’s a winner, but it can’t be implemented just yet.  Wait for the right time and you can’t fail. The TV ad saying: “We will serve no wine before its time” [...]

Astrology

Mental stability!  You have it.  Emotional stability?  Maybe not.  Emotions want one thing that mind says isn’t happening.  A friend or group pushes for something that isn’t possible just yet.  Putting your aspirations in line with reality is the task of the day.  An assertion such as “Every child deserves his own bedroom!” doesn’t fly [...]

Astrology

A pleasant person appears bringing kindness, understanding and good will.  This is a godsend that lightens a troubling time.  Have fun chatting and joking with your well-wisher.  Good news comes from a direction that hasn’t been helpful.  This is so surprising that you must struggle to maintain composure.  Do not yell.  ”But you’re the one [...]
