Change doesn't come easy, does it? The amount of difficulty in absorbing change is in direct proportion to how much we want to hang on to things as they were. And don't beat yourself up for having difficulty; we are humans and change is not easy for us. We are in a phase of breakdowns in order tobreak through. A new reality has come to pass, whether some like to gloss it over as temporary or not. Adjustments are beginning to be made so that actions better refkect our feel

Unforseen news or events are still upsetting the status quo, but it looks as though there is some progress being made in knowing what to do, how to act, how to respond. Words and actions match better, the intent is to coalesce around taking care of anyone wounded by this news. The first response to change is anger, followed closely denial. There is still some ostrich like heads stuck in the sand, but changes are not something you can outwait by ignoring them. Some of the t

Who are you? What is your identity? How shall you be known? These are not small questions. Who you are dictates how you behave with yourself and in relationships. It reflects on your values, ethically, and your resources. It impacts on career. In a sense, every one of us is reviewing that key question this year - what would we take a risk for, what would we stand up for, what do we believe in. Those who are more attuned to their intuition know that things are changing, t

Rest, relaxation, meditation are conducive to the energies of the day. It gives you time to think, and it may be a little hard to ferret out truth from the appearance of truth. So why not take a little time before you act? Aside from getting time to think, unexpected news has not totally been digested, nor are the changes that must be made in response to them. So wait. Not too long; it doesn't serve you well to be in denial or tick your head in the sand. The rest I am su

If a woman in your life goes quiet today, it probably isn't because there i s nothing on her mind or she has nothing to say. She's waiting. Something new has entered the scene. She is waiting for people to catch up, to understand how things are different now.

There are those who feel the old ways a

The moon is in the sign Aquarius, so blurting out ideas can happen, but in this case, it is handy to have a little time to think it through. There is an "invisibility" anyway from others, who act on what they think you want, not necessarily what you really want. You may have to explain your ideas more thoroughly than you feel you should need to - in or

Rest or action is one set of opposites today. There maybe a desire to kick back and take care of your business by doing nothing, but a nagging sense of duty gets you moving. Or it might be that you are confused and don't yet know what to do. New, unexpected news is causing traditional leaders some indigestion - difficulty including these things into their idea of the world. Whether it can fully admitted yet, a radical and progressive viewpoint has appeared and will not go

Thew new moon is at 3:45 today, so tidy up lose ends before then. Then all systems are go! The planets are all moving forward, in direct motion, and with the Sun and Moon in Aquarius, things are apt to focus on an individual's wishes, goals and hopes - every person's right to be a king or queen - not just the authorities. Aquarius is big, about freedom, lots of it, and looking at what is for the good of humanity as a whole. It's more about the forest than the trees. And i
