February Horoscopes

Aquarius – the water or energy bearer.

 Wishing all you lovers out there a very Happy Valentine’s Day! 

Birthstone : Amethyst

Once considered more valuable than diamonds, Amethyst is a member of the quartz family, occurring naturally as crystals within rocks.   These gemstones are found in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Australia, India, Madagascar, Russia and many other countries.

February’s purple birthstone has been found among the possessions of royalty throughout the ages. The intense Amethyst shade appealed to early monarchs because they often wore this color. Purple dye was scarce and expensive at one time, and so it was reserved for the garments of the royal household. Peasants most frequently wore beige, brown or drab colors. Amethyst has been found in ruins dating as far back as the ninth century, adorning crowns, scepters and jewelry.   A large Amethyst is in the British Crown Jewels which is closely guarded.

Amethyst is a crystal of protection and has the power to overcome difficulty, stress, anxiety and indecision.  I personally use it for added energy in tarot because it also gives off the positive energy of making decisions, relaxing and using common sense. It amplifies contact with spirit guides and the higher self.  It generates wisdom, guidance, direction and clear thinking in personal affairs.  It answers questions and helps one make rational decisions. It also helps the endocrine and immune systems so is a good stone for overall health protection.

Whether or not Amethyst holds such power, it’s up to you to figure it out.  Being a certified crystal therapist, I have been working with crystals for many, many years and believe in the power of crystals.  You will never know if they work for you unless you try them out for yourself.

Other lucky Star stones connected with Aquarius are turquoise and garnet.

ARIES – March 20 – April 18

Valentine’s Day should be a lot of fun, even if you may be spending it with friends (if you are single) or with your partner.  You refuse to take this celebration lying down!  You seem rather dynamic and expressive now although there are many secrets behind your bright eyes.  You will be introduced to many new friends and adventures.  While being tired of the humdrum life, you are now seeking fun, excitement and leisure activities. Arians are interested in traveling, taking new classes (possibly including some exercise classes) and finding out about subjects that they just have not had time to look into.  Some may even start or finish college and/or get new certifications or training in some area.  Your energy levels fluctuate; however, you are busy doing so many things that you don’t even realize you are tired until you get home and plop on the couch in front of the TV!  So much is going on in your life that it would be helpful to have a list of things that you want to accomplish and work on them a little each day; otherwise, you may have great intentions, but get little accomplished.

TAURUS – April 19 – May 19 

You need to express yourself a little bit more to those who love you.  Secrets are all well and good at times, but this is not one of those times to keep things inside as some feelings need to be shared with others; this will make you feel better.  You are super-sensitive at the moment and although luck is following close behind you, there is just too much to do for you to notice how well your life is really going. Your temperament is much more balanced than in the recent past.  Your romantic relationship should be improving tremendously on all levels and although your career or vocation may be in question, the changes coming your way are imperative in order to push you on the right path.  Your intuition is getting stronger and everyone is noticing.  Remember to go with your gut feelings because this time, they are absolutely correct.  Major decisions should be made soon so that you can move on with your life.  Make sure you make your Valentine’s Day plans ahead of time so that you can do exactly what you would like when you would like to do them.  Consulting with your partner would be a nice touch that will make you both happy.

GEMINI – May 20 – June 19

You are the proverbial chicken running around without its head these days.  You have wonderful plans of what you need to accomplish, but then go off and do something else.  Try to focus on your goals and then try to finish them.  Then you can go off to the next one on your list (or next 10 on your list for you dualistic signs). Relationships are redefined and plans may be in the works for you to take your relationship to the next level.  If single, you may finally meet someone who is in both your best interests.  Be open to those who may not fall into your narrow category of who is acceptable to date.  Cast your net into a larger pool of individuals, even those with different beliefs or life paths.  Money still seems to be somewhat of concern.  There just is never enough, but with budgeting and only buying what you need and not what you want right now, you will get through these lean times better than most.  However, you can still have a great Valentine’s Day by using Restaurant.com coupons or going to lunch or an early dinner.  Other venues such as museums, art galleries or taking a stroll through New York City may be just what your purse (or pocket) needs. 

CANCER – June 20 – July 21

Finances are of major concern now, but you will come through this situation with flying colors if you don’t panic. Spending on non-essentials is not an option now, so if there’s a new car, home repairs or projects that you feel need to get started, try holding off from starting them for at least a few months.  Of course, if something is in dire need of repair, handle that immediately, but other things can wait. There may be some upcoming dealings with wills or inheritances, or if not, you may be getting ready for some issues with the IRS.  Make sure your income tax return is accurate so that you are not audited.  You may also be dealing with issues regarding your spouse’s money, such as him/her losing her employment, starting new employment (perhaps a home based business) and possibly not making as much as in the past.  These new endeavors will work out and you will be back in a comfortable position soon.  Valentine’s Day should be a fun time and you may want to spend it with your family rather than just your partner.  Do what makes you feel happy and do what you want to do for a change.

LEO – July 22 – August 21

It is a time to concentrate on one of the two most important things in your life – your home and your career.  Which will it be?  Home life should be a place of relaxation, meditation, fun, family and quiet time.  Work is where the overwhelming stress and heavy energy makes you feel crazy; eating on the run or at your desk is not as healthy.  You must get away from your office even if you eat quickly and take a walk around the parking lot, in a mall or by doing a few calming errands.  Sleep may be affected by your erratic schedules, traffic, and tending the house, dinner, children, the laundry, cleaning up, etc.  You must redefine the chores in your home since you don’t seem to be very good about them being delegated at work.  Leos do not understand that they do not have to do everything by themselves, although they usually do.  Others are more than capable of helping out, doing part of the work or handling chores at home.  Help yourself to have some precious down time by delegating responsibilities at work and at home.  Leos will plan a romantic Valentine’s Day with their partner even though it may be home based.  Just spending time with your significant other is enough for you since you want the genuine intimacy now and are not as interested in the gifts of the day.

VIRGO – August 22 – September 21

You are trying very hard to get things done, but to no avail.  Unexpected circumstances pop up to change your plans in a minute, so you need to go with the flow to get your list of “to do’s” done in a timely manner.  There is new interest the future, children, and having some adventure and fun for a change rather than shouldering all of the responsibilities within your family.  Love life either needs to be spiced up or one of you will look elsewhere for romance. There seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction in your life right now; finding out how you can change your life in a positive way would be important at this time, especially since you really don’t want to rock the boat, but you do want to be happy.  Financial concerns also add to your confusion or depression during the month, but being you are a very practical and clever sign, you will find ways to patch things up and fix almost everything in your life with flying colors and pizzazz.

LIBRA – September 22 – October 21

Health issues may be of concern to you, so if this is true, make an appointment with your health care provider.  Melancholy and mild sadness may also try to find its way into your daily routine.  The good news is that if you work hard during this period, the mental issues will disappear. If you worry about everything and just concentrate on the problems, concerns, fears, doubts and worries that you may have, you may be physically ill more than you thought possible. Get second opinions and use your intelligence to NOT make things worse than they are, especially in your own mind. Why not take a short weekend getaway to relax, rejuvenate and maybe do some of the things you usually do not have time for during the rest of your week. Love matters may be blown out of proportion, so give your loved one a chance to explain or try to be more patient.  With communication and kindness you will both be able to patch things up and have so much fun on Valentine’s Day.

SCORPIO – October 22 – November 20

Your enthusiasm and knowledge will help you to shine in so many ways.  Optimism, good energy and strength are behind you. Have a special Valentine’s Day with your significant other and make the rest of the month just as happy. Work and health are affected now.  Things may seem to be blown out of proportion, but if it’s too much of a good thing – who cares?  You have a lot to look forward to and so many things to start and accomplish.  There may be some restlessness in your life, but once you decide what it is you want, you will be able to handle any doubts, worries or fears to get to your goal.  Additional training, lectures, seminars or workshops will help aid your career as well as satisfy the need you have to learn more about the subjects of your choice.  This is a creative time where you should paint, write, do crafts or anything that you feel the urge to do in the creative sense because it will bring you peace of mind and spirit.

SAGITTARIUS – November 21 – December 20

Sagittarians feel more empowered now and want to have a wonderful Valentine’s Day with their partner.  Let your significant other make some plans this Valentine’s Day and you should just relax and take a deep breath and know that life is finally calming down and going in the right direction for you both. Personal and business partnerships seem to be going in the right direction if you just lighten up a little bit. You should not take things too seriously now but rather start focusing on your goals in a more practical way. Artistic and innovative pursuits are imperative now because you want to accomplish so much and you will do well within this arena.  You are getting organized, finishing up many projects that were in the works and feeling so much better about your accomplishments and yourself in general.  Some are publishing books, others are having art shows and some are just being proud of making all of their dreams come true.

CAPRICORN – December 21 – January 19

You may start a new chapter in life and go in another direction.  Finances may play a part in this new direction, so be smart and double check your will, important papers and keep everything up to date, signed, sealed and notarized!  Cleaning out your home or office, decluttering, and getting rid of things which tie you down is important.  You are trying to life the phrase, “voluntary simplicity” and will do quite well with it over the next few months if you make sure your paperwork doesn’t keep you stymied.  Friends are very compassionate and thoughtful and will help you through any issues or concerns that you may have.  Confide in them.  Many wish they can repay you for all the good deeds you have done for them in the past, but don’t know how to help you.  This will be an important time of serious bonding with your family and friends, so make the most of it especially with Valentine’s Day just around the corner.  If you have a significant other, this is a really good time to talk over your future plans and dreams so you will both be on the same page.

AQUARIUS – January 20 – February 18

You would love to start thinking of future travel plans, but know that you have so many other obligations and responsibilities that need to be taken care of first.  Taking care of house and office projects will help you get organized quicker and will leave you with more free time to do whatever it is you would like to do.  Family is very supportive now.  You will also have a lovely Valentine’s Day with your partner, if involved, or you will make a day of it with close family and friends.  So much is going your way, but you have to stop and smell the roses before you understand how much you really have.  Creativity, imagination, originality and ingenuity come together to help you figure out the future that will be right for you.  Things may seem a bit confusing now, but with logic and reasoning, you will come to the proper conclusions and answers for your best interest.  Stop working so hard as it doesn’t seem as if your extra time and effort is being appreciated.  It may be time to look elsewhere for employment, but be sure you have a job lined up before giving notice.  Whatever you decide to do with your career, such as ignoring the problems, or just getting a new job, you will be able to handle either with grace and professionalism.

PISCES – February 19 – March 19

Many changes are coming your way, although you may not realize that they’re coming!  Important changes make you realize that you are not alone and that you have many good friends who would help you through anything if you asked for help.  If married or have a significant other, things seem to be going well and your Valentine’s Day will be fun, adventurous and maybe even a little bit spicy.  Try not to be too vague about where you would like to go or what you would like to do, since it will come off as indifference and may cause unpleasant issues.  Emotions surface about the past, so keep them in check until you feel ready to discuss things that bother you.  Being super-sensitive now will only make you nervous when you have to approach significant discussions.  Once things are aired out, you will be surprised at how much more relaxed and relieved you will both be.  Life will be much easier and more comfortable for your family and you.  Enjoy this month as it seems you need the break from stress.

January Horoscopes by Vikki Anderson

Happy New Year to all.  May 2012 bring you many adventures, surprises, good health, financial abundance and peace of mind, body and spirit.  And may all of your dreams and goals come true.

Birthstone:  Garnet — The garnet was first mined in Sri Lanka over 2,500 years ago.  Today, it is found in Africa, Australia, India, Russia, South America and Arizona and Idaho in the USA.  Although most of us know garnet as a red gemstone, it also comes in muted yellows, oranges, pinks, greens, and violets. This assortment is due to unique combinations of elements within each particular gem, such as iron, calcium, and manganese.  Not all garnets are of jewelry quality but all are beautiful in their own right. It is also a very effective abrasive and is used commercially for grinding and polishing.  Garnet coated sandpaper is one such industrial use.

The garnet continues to be the protective gem of journeyers. A gift of garnet is thought to be symbolic of love and the desire for a loved one’s safe travel and speedy homecoming.  It is also considered the crystal of “good health” by extracting negative energy from the chakras and transmuting the energy to the beneficial state.  It has been known as a “stone of commitment” to purpose, to others and to oneself.  This stone reflects the attributes of devotion, and bringing the love of others to expressions of warmth and understanding.  By no means the end of the benefits of garnet, but, it does balance the energy fields around the physical body and aligns the emotional and intellectual bodies with the perfection of “All That Is.” Garnet can treat disorders of the heart, lungs, spine and spinal fluid, cells, bone and blood.  It has been used to balance sexual energies and repair and protect DNA/RNA structure.  It helps to regenerate the body.

Before you get nervous and think that your sun sign has changed with the updated time frames for each sun sign in 2012, remember that sun sign dates move a day or two in either direction every year being there are only 364 ¼ days each year, so these sun sign dates are for those born in 2012.  If your sun sign appears with different dates, read the paragraph that relates to your birth sun sign.

 

ARIES – March 20 – April 18

Thank goodness that the holidays are over so you can move on to your next project(s).  Good fortune and blessings come your way which are well deserved.  So many things are going your way that you seem suspicious and wonder when things will go wrong!  Even though life may be blown out of proportion at times, it will be going in the right direction so this is a good time to just go with the flow.  Try not to get discouraged by delays and outcomes which you were not prepared for.  Be mindful of your sensitivity and just know that not everyone is out to get you!  You are overwhelmed, trying to keep to yourself and may not be as focused as you would like.  And although some responsibilities and issues keep repeating themselves over and over again, especially partnerships, just know that if you take one day at a time, things will pass quickly and you will have a good handle on them.

TAURUS – April 19 – May 19
After your generosity over the holidays, financial issues make you re-evaluate the way you are spending money.  Unusual situations arise with friends (especially women) that you may wish to financially help out.  Be certain that their motives for borrowing money are realistic and that they can pay you back.  If not, be sure you can live without that money without negative feelings towards the person who borrowed it.  Career seems to improve or turn to gold.  You are doing well at work and those in power are noticing you.  However, it is up to you to stay or look for employment elsewhere if you do not feel you are being promoted fast enough or appreciated.  Being stressed and upset over a job is not what is in your best interest, so try to think logically about what will help your career path the most and then follow your logic.

GEMINI – May 20 – June 19

Now that the New Year is upon us, family and especially siblings get along quite nicely together. Discussions with females in your family will be pleasant and you will learn a lot about members of your family from these discussions.  You tend to be a bit frantic and disorganized because you are taking on too much, as usual; however, this is really a time when you must get rid of things that are no longer appropriate in your life whether they is objects or people.  You are turning the corner on a new chapter in your life and are attracting much more positive people who can help you on so many levels.  Be open to this help and graciously accept all the help offered to you. 

CANCER – June 20 – July 21
Now that the holidays are behind you and you don’t have to fuss with the house any longer, many changes are coming your way but will all work out for your best interest.  You may feel as if things just aren’t going your way and in truth, during an opposition month, you are totally correct.  Anything that is not needed, liked or wanted will just start to disappear from your life.  You will have great energy and focus when you need it, and if you use this time wisely, you can start many new adventures, such as traveling to foreign countries or starting to look into more formal education, lectures, seminars or training in some way.  You have the ability to change your life in an extremely positive way once you decide what it truly is you want. 

LEO – July 22 – August 21
Now that the holidays are a lovely memory, there may be some confusing aspects to your romance or with your children.  Keep alert for secrets, mistruths and things going on behind your back.  Your gentle nature may get a bit of a shock when you realize that others have been using you for some time.  This is an outstanding time to get involved in creative or artistic projects and be ready to enhance your work.  New people come into your life to help you choose the right path.  Staying on a spiritual or esoteric path will keep you focused on your goals and dreams.  Communication will help you get over some misconceptions and judgments that were probably incorrect in the first place.

VIRGO – August 22 – September 21
Now that the running around and trying to make a perfect Christmas and New Years for you and your family is over, you are getting all fired up about your health and work concerns. Will you be starting a new exercise program or eating more healthily?  Probably.  Will it last long?  Probably not.  You have such good motives, but you are involved in so many activities and have a bit too much stress around you, that your old habits will quickly come back.  A much more positive attitude and disposition will be beneficial not only to you, but to all of those you come in contact with.  Worrying or being negative will not solve anything in a timely manner and may attract more negativity, so beware of your mood swings. 

LIBRA – September 22 – October 21

You are trying to get grounded and centered after the hectic holiday season.  Partnerships may get strained, so try to lighten up.  Remember, not everything is meant as a personal affront to you.  Sometimes people just talk without thinking.  Be forgiving and compassionate.  You may feel as if you are taking on too many projects and responsibilities and it is probably true – so delegate, put things on the back burner or just say “no” when someone asks you to do something that you really have no time to do.  The pressure you put on yourself is incredible and if you wish to continue to have good mental and physical health, you should prioritize your life, responsibilities and obligations so that you may accomplish your goals.

SCORPIO – October 22 – November 20
With all the major holidays behind you, other instances take up your time. You are interested in working on yourself whether its your personal appearance, new haircut or to further your education or training for your job. Taxes, lawsuits, other peoples’ money and inheritances are activated now. You may be working with or for someone who has passed and you may be taking care of the paperwork (will, legalities, etc.) or you may just be dealing with spousal (or significant other) concerns that you feel need to be addressed and resolved.  Saving money is one of your strengths and it is a good idea to continue working towards your goals of retiring early or moving to another state with money in the bank. Re-examine your portfolio or finances so that you can feel more at ease with your upcoming plans.

SAGITTARIUS – November 21 – December 20
Even though everyday is like a holiday to a Sagittarius, you are becoming a bit more serious about your life.  A strong conviction to change the way you think and/or feel about so many things in your life is upon you.  You may be thinking more about the future and who you want in your future with you.  You may be thinking of writing short stories, finishing a book, starting a journal or just getting your thoughts on paper to make sense of things that have happened in your life.  You start to share more important events of your life with those you trust and are looking for some closure to other events in your life. Creativity and communication seem to help you every step of the way.  If you think about it logically and thoughtfully, everything will work out to your satisfaction.

CAPRICORN – December 21 – January 19

The holiday spirit is now gone and you are back to work and taking care of your responsibilities. There is an underlying current of change, important decisions and serious outcomes.  You may be super sensitive now and emotions may be unpredictable.  Be sure you don’t over react because you are apt to say something that cannot be taken back.  Good luck is protecting you through a trine from Jupiter; however, you have to make your own luck at first by taking some appropriate risks and trying something new.  This is a new time for you to shine and get the results that you truly want.  Change is good most of the time if you don’t fight it, so if you only accept a positive outcome, you will only get a positive outcome.

AQUARIUS – January 20 – February 18

You wish the holidays could go on forever, but they are behind you now and you must face your everyday life.  Friends can be very confusing now and may do things to annoy you.  Confusing circumstances may make you question the loyalty of those close to you, this period will be short lived.   However, love life seems to be blossoming and moving in a much better direction.  It gets better and better each day and you recognize how lucky you are to be in love now. Finances need to improve so if you can put a little more thought into your financial security, you will be prepared for your future and happy you did it now. Read a book, meditate, take a power nap so you can and refresh and re-energize yourself – you deserve it.

PISCES – February 19 – March 19

If life was just as simple as the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, you would be so content; however, life moves on and your old obligations and issues are ready to be handled again.  You have too much on your mind and you may be driving yourself crazy just by being you!  Why not bounce ideas off of a friend and have a serious conversation with someone you trust about your future and what you need or want.  If others gossip about you, don’t take it too personally as “they” need someone to talk about.  You may feel as if your power is being drained day in and day out.  Proper rest, exercise and eating right is in your best interest so why not see what you can do about that.

December Horoscopes

May your holiday season be one of hugs and laughter, love and especially family.  Wishing everyone a very Happy Yule and a Merry Christmas.

 

SAGITTARIUS: The sign of the The Centaur or Archer. This sign rules the hips and thighs.  Keywords are:  Freedom loving, aspiring, travel oriented, optimistic, lucky, fun, funny, clowns of the zodiac, flexible, adaptable, intelligent, ambitious, philosophical, blunt, pushy, careless, expansive, independent and adventurous.

Colors:  Purple and deep blue.

ARIES – March 20 – April 19

Career opportunities are plentiful and you are probably considering changing jobs or parts of your job that will bring you more attention, more income or where you will use your intellect.  Things are getting boring. Your attention is not on work at this time, but in planning all the wonderful shopping, parties, travel and fun you hope to have during this month.  Your practical side comes into play where you realize you need more rest and must limit your help to others who are always taking advantage of your kind nature.  Spending money for the holidays is just the beginning.  You will have fun, enjoy holiday celebrations and won’t think twice about spending more than planned on a gift for a loved one.  Your generosity of spirit is magnetic and extends to your friends who will expect an extra special gift.  You may over spend on those you love.  All in all, you are on the go, having fun, and connecting with friends and family who love your company.

TAURUS – April 20 – May 19
If you find yourself in unexpected circumstances, just know that you are being guided on a different path.  You may not wish to travel on this path; however, it would be in your best interest to at least look at the wonderful changes around you and the opportunities it will bring for future happiness, prosperity and good health. Holiday travel seems important; however, make sure your travel plans are solid before venturing to your holiday destinations.  Family conflicts may arise and seem unimportant to you, but the issues are important to others.  Be tactful with your partner since much energy seems to want to make you “right” or in control of every situation.  If you keep a cool head and compromise where appropriate, things should run quite smoothly. Don’t get into a battle of wits with your family and friends since this is the season of forgiveness and peace of mind, body and spirit.  Change is good even though you may not feel it at the present time.

GEMINI – May 20 – June 20
Are you working too much so that you are not available to those you love. Compromise is needed to avoid arguments with your partner or loved ones since you just don’t have much time to think things through properly and make an informed decision.  You also get annoyed when people question where your time is spent and that you may be able to organize your life better.  You do more than most of the other signs and you would like to be acknowledged for that, but just be happy that you are able to run your life the way you want to or else, you just pick up and find happiness elsewhere. Home life tends to get somewhat stressful as you try to plan the perfect holiday party.  Balance issues between your work load in your career and the responsibilities of your family weigh you down.  Why can’t you delegate?  Is it up to you to handle everything?  Miscommunication is prevalent this month so be clear about your intent or what you are asking others to do for you.  Repeat things so that you are on the same page as well.  

CANCER – June 21 – July 21
Make buying presents a special family occasion.  Even though you may feel that change is unsettling, it will be a positive experience, so go with the flow.  Differences of traditions and philosophies of life will be tested and you may be persuaded to look at things from different perspectives.  Even though you may want to stay home this holiday season, be a bit flexible if your partner wants to travel to visit family.  Staying home means you have to cook and entertain, however, it also makes you feel comfortable to be in your own home to do whatever you want to.  Love life and family seems to bring you much happiness and joy, even though you are handling too much of the responsibility.  New beginnings in the home, perhaps redecorating or some much needed repair projects, help you focus on your goals for the future.  You may be starting over or feel as if you need the changes that are being thrust upon you.  Using your intellect to make decisions rather than emotional ones will help you choose the better option. 

LEO – July 22 – August 22
It is important for you to entertain your family and friends, but be mindful of your health.  Take enough time for yourself and let others give you a hand in the kitchen or with the preparations.  This is a good time to rejuvenate, relax and do whatever you feel is important for yourself and your happiness.  It is a time to help others get more organized and as usual, you help others with their challenges and issues and are always going the extra mile.  This is also a time where you will take on the responsibility of a family issue.  Do the best you can to help those family members compromise; however, don’t beat yourself up if it does not go the way you feel it should.  You have done your best and sometimes things just have to work themselves out.    Arguing is probable if you let yourself get caught up in the politics of an issue.  Be aware of the explosive energy surrounding you and do your best to diffuse all negative situations.

VIRGO – August 23 – September 21
Holidays are always stressful, so if you are more relaxed and plan well in advance, your holidays will run quite smoothly.  Getting your list and checking it twice is a great way for a Virgo to start their holiday shopping.  Know what you want to spend and then comparison shop so you get the best price for the item, as if you wouldn’t do that anyway! Try not to take life so seriously now as it is supposed to be fun.  If there are any issues that you do not agree with, let them go for now and deal with them after the holidays.  Situations with personal and business partnerships may be confusing and upsetting at times, so be prepared to stand your ground and give your frank opinion in a tactful manner.  Career may be changing in many ways and it would be helpful for you to know in which direction you would like to proceed.  Do you want your own home based business?  If so, go for it now as the energy around you is positive and open to so many wonderful possibilities to accomplish your future goals and dreams.  

LIBRA – September 22 – October 22

Much good energy is around you so plan what steps you would like to take to accomplish some dreams and goals.  Your personality shifts to being more self confident with less issues regarding insecurities and anxieties.  This is the time for you to accomplish what needs to be done.  Career, travel and spiritual pursuits all seem to become important at the same time so be prepared to be scattered and yet, you will be having the time of your life exploring all the possibilities around you.  Spending money for beautiful things is a constant in your life; however, it may be time to ask your partner if he or she agrees with your gift choices.  Ask for his or her opinions of gifts for the family and your closest friends.  Consulting a partner on financial choices or where you spend the family riches will allow you to spend more freely.

SCORPIO – October 23 – November 21
Be prepared to double check your travel plans as it seems as if there is a glitch that hinders you.   This does not mean that you should not travel, but it seems to be a time where extra planning and alternative plans will keep everyone calm and in control of their holidays!  Running around at the last minute to get your shopping done can be an exhausting task, so use the web to order some on line gifts, if you feel that’s appropriate.  You just need some down time, relaxation time, and family time for your own enjoyment and well being.  You would like to plan things in advance and that’s a wonderful idea, but be flexible enough to know that all plans do not turn out exactly as we hope.  Many times the things that change can be more fun than our original plans.  Have a wonderful time.

SAGITTARIUS – November 22 – December 20
Home life may be a bit too hectic for your taste and you may try to go out or not deal with specific issues.  They will not go away, so deal with them directly.  A good outcome will result from any effort you put into making positive changes in work, formal education, long distance travel and finances, so start thinking about which areas of life you would like to change and start making a few small changes throughout the season.  Get up and go to holiday parties, friends’ get-togethers or that holiday getaway with a loved one even though he or she may not want to leave home.  Try to be a little more sensitive with a loved one’s feelings as it seems you may be somewhat tactless or thoughtless to his or her needs.  This may be because you are so caught up in the whirlwind around you, or the holiday season, that you don’t have time for petty nonsense.  You may be on different wavelengths so try to find common ground.

CAPRICORN – December 21 – January 18
Networking becomes effortless as you meet many more people through new clubs, memberships and organizations.  New friends and associations help propel your career through this holiday season.  Be careful not to let your personal and business lives conflict with each other as it won’t be worth the time and trouble.  Deal with each area of life separately and complete any unfinished projects or endeavors.  Being organized for the upcoming year will help you get a jump on your goals.  Lists will help you with this organization and will help you focus on your priority issues.  Go out and have some fun.  You can’t be all business or too serious now since this is the time to be happy and jolly!  Accept holiday party invitations and do some of the entertaining yourself.  You will feel very relaxed and others will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

AQUARIUS – January 19 – February 17

You may wish to kick back and unwind during the holidays and not have the traditional holiday meals or parties with your family.  You may wish to keep a day for yourself where you could organize your home, entertain other family members or friends or just relax and watch the blinking lights on the Christmas tree or other holiday decorations.  Energy abounds and you wish to accomplish so much.  You can do anything you need to do at this time, but limit yourself to a few tasks per day so you can re-energize and continue on the fast track that you have been living on for the last year. Your creative and artistic abilities are amplified during this festive season so don’t be afraid to show off your abilities to your family and friends.  Spirituality is more important as you unfold the meaning of your traditional beliefs.  This is a good time to think about what you want to do in the future, perhaps in a creative field or perhaps to take creative classes you never had the time to take in the past.  What a wonderful time for you to look into new cultures and traditions.

PISCES – February 18 – March 19
The negativity around you is disappearing; you need to reinforce the positive energy protecting and guiding you to do the right thing.  Love issues may be a tender spot, so understand what the issue is and then do something to resolve it.  Using your mental agility will help you to optimistically deal with any concerns that come your way.  Career issues may be pushed to the foreground and some very important decisions about your future will need to be made.  Be sure you have all the facts before jumping to conclusions that may be incorrect.  If you need to make adjustments to goals, now is the time to make them. The holidays will be exciting and fun because you have planned so much to do.  Loved ones would be adaptable enough when unexpected circumstances change your plans at the last minute.  These changes may be better than your original plans.  If circumstances seem confusing or dramatic, this is the best time to take that energy and turn it into a positive result.  This seems like a bi-polar month.  Things go very well, then fall apart, so it’s best that you just deal with situations as they happen rather than projecting the best or worst scenario for them.

Solar Eclipse for 2012

Solar Eclipses are on May 20 and November 13.

This is the day when you can most effectively change your life by doing what you want to do, being positive and not letting any negativity or upsets ruin your day. It’s a time to focus on your priorities in life and not just the mundane aspects of your every day life. Are your goals and objectives for your future being met? If not, do something on that day to change them. It’s a time to add things into your life that you don’t have time for, for instance, time to read a good book, play with your children, take a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or local park, rest, watch those DVR movies that keep piling up or just have a lovely lunch with good friends, dinner with your mate and enjoy the day. Remember not to schedule any doctor/dentist appointments, or have any medical procedures on that day as you will be telling the universe you want to be sick for the next six months (May 20 is the next eclipse!). If you want to find a new job, send out your resume on that day as well as talking to a realtor if you wish to sell your home. Looking for a significant other? Put your energy into looking on Match.com or any personal site so that you are telling the universe “your intent” is to look for someone special.  Have a great solar eclipse each and every time.

‘ARIES – March 20 – April 19

Many unexpected changes occur this month dealing with siblings, family issues and even perhaps vacation or trip plans.  Emotions may be off center at times being you are running around doing so many things for the upcoming holidays that you are exhausted and stressed beyond your limit.  Talk things over with family and friends with whom you are having an issue.  Don’t let things fester and become a bigger problem than it truly is.  Creativity and artistic pursuits would be a nice diversion to get your mind into a calmer and more relaxed state.  Romance seems to continue to be going in the right direction.  If not attached, then perhaps one of those changes may be a significant other coming into your life – be ready for anything and enjoy the holidays. 

’TAURUS – April 20 – May 20

Good luck will be protecting you and your loved ones during this Thanksgiving month.  This is a time to spend the money you had set aside for the holidays, whether it is on home projects or on buying gifts.  Try not to go overboard on gift giving, but you know your tendency to shower gifts on those you love.  The changes that are happening in your life are good ones so if you go with the flow, you will be directed to a more positive direction.  Emotions run high and then are more grounded as you realize that things happen for a reason and you kind of go with the flow a little more than usual.  Try to be as logical as possible with all of your dealings and situations now and decisions will flow easier.  Sometimes you may need to talk things over with someone before putting the burden on yourself. 

“GEMINI – May 21 – June 20

Many issues or situations seem difficult at first, but once you decide to be logical about the concerns, you will make the perfect decision which will be right for you.  Remember to take care of any health issues immediately and keep up with your annual doctor appointments. Many Gems are trying to diet before the holidays so if they gain a few extra pounds, it will even itself out.  This is a time to connect with the universe and learn more about your place in it.  Disappointments happen, so if things do not go the way you think they should, acknowledge the situation for what it is.  You may have to deal with things that are unpleasant, but dealing with them all the same is important to your family and you.  You are a strong sun sign and can do whatever you put your mind to and it seems you will be tested.  Things always have a way of working out for the good of all involved, so let the universe work its magic. 

”CANCER – June 21 – July 22

Business and personal partnerships may be strained as the holidays get closer, but with a bit more tolerance and patience, you will be able to handle anything that comes your way. Deal with partners with love and understanding.  Don’t judge others and be very careful about saying something that you may regret in the future.  If things need to change, initiate the change and don’t suffer in the same negative situation that you have been for some time.  You may feel as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders, but things will start to improve slowly but surely, so plan for the holidays and get your mind off of unimportant trivialities. The upcoming season will bring you much joy shared with family and friends, so have a wonderful Thanksgiving and be grateful for all of your blessings. 

•LEO – July 23 – August 22

The activity level for you this month is astounding!  Be ready for anything.  Work has some interesting turns, but if you see the whole picture instead of concentrating on the small insignificant occurrences, you will see that things have a way of working out for the best.  Finances are confusing and things just don’t make sense at the moment.  Make sure you figure out what steps you need to make financially sound decisions.  There are moments when you feel you will need to know everything that is going on within your family and your circle of friends and then times when you feel that you should take care of yourself.  Balance is the key. Deception or secrets may be at play here, so be sure to carefully check everything out.  There will be plenty of circumstances for illusion to take hold, but make sure you keep reality in check. 

–VIRGO – August 23 – September 22

Higher education, lectures, seminars, training, workshops, classes, DVDs, CDs, TV, radio, audio books, etc. may play an important part in getting you to the next level with your job or formal education.  You will be busy, but with a little extra effort, it will be well worth it for the benefits they will provide.  Getting interested in other cultures or traditions for the holidays is a possibility.  You want a more interesting holiday and decorations around your home than in past years and are open to suggestions. You want to bring in more fun and interest. This is a really good time for you to make plans for the upcoming year since you are level headed, grounded, logical and organized and life is going in a good direction. 

—LIBRA – September 23 – October 22

Schooling and career keep you on a never ending roller coaster.  You want to take things slowly and deal with everything fully before handling the next issue.  It’s a perplexing time so making decisions carefully will certainly help you continue on the right path.  If you are thinking of getting higher education for your job or additional training, that would be a good thing now.  You seem to be confused about many issues in your life so if you write a list of just a few things that need to be decided and start with the most important one first, then your decisions will be handled quickly.  Try to stay focused on your main objectives since you are scattered and want to accomplish too much in a short period of time.  Try handling one main issue per day.  

˜SCORPIO – October 23 – November 21

Career decisions need to be made.  Are you staying with this job or considering looking elsewhere. Work seems to be crazy at times and then calm and rewarding at others, so there needs to be more balance in the work place.  Home life has a similar scenario right now so it would be good for you to handle the most important issues and deal with the lesser choices at another time.  Communication is the key to handling many of your issues.  Misunderstandings may occur if you assume too much.  Be especially attentive to your significant other or other women in your life.  There is a major issue which needs to be resolved and only you can fix it.

™SAGITTARIUS – November 22 – December 21

You may find out many things about family members and friends this holiday season which may surprise you, but all in all, it’s a really fun time.  There are places to go, people to see and things to do.  You have so many plans that you are not sure what you should do first.  Get organized and make a plan of action and then share it with family and friends so everyone knows what you are doing.  Be sure to rest and take care of yourself since you don’t want to be exhausted before any of the partying or get togethers occur.  Don’t be surprised if not everyone is okay with your plans since you may include too many people or intend to take up too much time with your adventures.  Communication helps smooth things over. 

šCAPRICORN – December 22 – January 19

Changes keep coming your way and you wonder when it will be over.  Sometimes change is good so before you label the type of change that has happened to you, give it a chance to play out.  You are dynamic and energetic now, and have to realize that your life may need to go in a different direction to meet your goals and dreams.  Your emotional nature is closer to the surface now so you tend to be a bit more emotional or sentimental during this time of the year.  Obligations and responsibilities may put a kink in your holiday, but once you deal with them, you will be ready to have fun with family and friends. 

›AQUARIUS – January 20 – February 17

Finances are confusing, upsetting and distressing; however, better times are coming.  You will catch up on all of your financial obligations within the next few months.  Do not go overboard on buying gifts this holiday season.  Everyone is cutting back, so why shouldn’t you?  Life is overwhelming as usual, but you seem to be on top of things.  Handling one thing at a time is a great way of dealing with the most important issues first and then leaving the less important ones for another time.  You have too much on your plate right now, so relaxation, meditation or prayer may help you sort things out. 

œPISCES – February 18 – March 19

Sticking to a financial budget or plan of action is important.  The success of your abundance and prosperity will be rewarding in itself.  Even though many changes are pushing their way into your life, you will be able to make important choices which will push you in a much more positive direction.  The positive opportunities for you during this holiday season are plentiful and you need to buckle down and decide which ones you will take advantage of and which ones you need to let go.  Your career may be surprising as you get offered a new position or more money for handling more responsibility.  Believe it or not, your employer does appreciate your contributions on the job.

BEGINNERS TAROT WORKSHOP

With Vikki Anderson

Thursday, October 6

Learn how to read the tarot cards with the Totally Tarot Method. This easy and accurate method was invented by Rev. Vikki Anderson, the instructor for this and the Intermediate Tarot classes that follow, approximately 20 years ago. This is a refreshers course and beginners course rolled into one. If you have tried to read the tarot cards on your own and need more insight into the cards, this course is for you. If you have done readings in the past and then put the cards away for various reasons and need a refresher, this course is also for you. We will learn about the symbology of the Rider-Waite deck (which may be purchased at Soul Journey or bring your own deck) in an easy and fun format. Preparation of the cards will be discussed before you can do accurate readings. Colors of clothing, skies, and other objects in the cards will be discussed; directions, foundations, balance, learning the difference between the types of mountains with important information for the Querent (person for whom the reading is being done) and spiritual guidance will all be talked about in detail so you will be ready to take the upcoming Intermediate course which will focus on yes/no spreads, and year ahead readings. The course is scheduled from 7:00 10:00 PM; however, it may run longer and if you are able to stay, you are most welcome to learn more about the cards or ask the instructor any questions that you may have. Please bring pen and paper to take notes. www.vikkianderson.net.

Aries Sun Sign

by www.vikkianderson.net and Vikki Anderson (c) 2011.

ARIES: The Ram. This sign rules the head and is an ambitious and successful sign.

Keywords are: active, impulsive, aggressive, naive, leader, optimistic, rash, self-centered and enthusiastic.  Arians are lovely people who like to take the lead in any situation.  They would rather be the center of attention than being “behind the scenes.”  They are idea people, but their attention span in every day matters and love may be fleeting. Being interested in so many things, they rarely have the time to look into anything in-depth.  Arians love to travel, have fun, meet new friends and especially like to meet new people of varied cultures and in general is interested in anything until they get bored with it.  Love is another issue with Aries.  They can be in love with love and when reality sets in, they are amazed at how they could have thought they loved their partner.  However, once they find true love, they can be one of the most loving, caring, giving and positive partners anyone could ever want. This sign is very good at coming up with answers so ask your Aries friend or family member for advice.  I know you will always get the appropriate answer.

Mars: is the planet of energy, sex drive, temper, competition, personal power, passion, leadership, conflict, strength, anger, courage, competition, assertion and motivation.

This planet represents the God of War and Conflict – Aries.  Mars shows us how we respond to conflict and challenges in our lives.  Many Arians have scars or injuries to their face or head.  This area should always be protected.

Quality * Cardinal:  Changeable, ambitious and active.

Element: Fire represents someone who is outgoing, optimistic, energetic, creative, impulsive, passionate, arrogant, selfish, impatient, spontaneous and warm.

Other fire signs are Leo and Sagittarius which are Aries’ best matches.

Aries is a semi-fruitful sign. * Polarity: Masculine/Positive * Gemstone:  Bloodstone * Opposite Sign:  Libra.
