Tip of the Week:

Learning to diversify our skills and talents is important both for life quality and financial success. Living creatively makes life more fun and interesting. Merely surviving is the path of limitation, low vitality and suffering. Sadly, many live life as though it is a survival game and in the end they do not survive and never really allowed themselves to play. To truly live we must learn to be creative even if this means simply perceiving everyday reality from new angles and perspectives. Wise people are creative regardless of outer circumstances. Keeping life simple is a good place to start. This includes the power and magic of simple gratitude, and appreciation. Acceptance of ‘what is’ is another gem because then we are free of futile resistance and mind delusions that we have more power and influence to change things and so are freer and more able to receive the flow of creative juices that descend from the spring of an open heart and mind. Taurus is about deciphering what is truly important and of lasting value. By extension, Taurus teaches us to develop a variety of skills and talents and recognizes the value of more than one stream of income. Whether this includes two or three jobs, having a garden that produces food, craftiness or investments like home ownership and land are all examples. Break free from poverty and limitation by tapping your Taurus power.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The desire for more stability in your life is strong now. You feel challenged to make creative investments and choices. Many thoughts, ideas and communications about this are happening and this will increase this week. Travel and adventure to get away from the regular routine are strong attractions. With so many major changes shaking in your public and professional life, you may feel a little uncertain about what you truly want and where you stand. Ask questions and be willing to listen and learn.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
You are taking strong strides in new directions, at least in your mind. You want to clear away the old to make way for the new. Making improvements for the sake of beauty and harmony is motivating you. Patience is ever important and especially now in the larger scheme of your life. Cultivating your most important relationships is ideal. The one with you is primary so aim to create harmony within. This means learn to be your own best friend. The desire to decipher where you fit best in the world and perhaps how continues to be strong. Aim to diversify your portfolio.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
You are emerging out of a period of rest and retreat. A return to source and perhaps family summoned you. Creative projects, travel and adventure have been more than just on your mind. Mixing dreams with reality is part of the purpose of life and you are all for it. Your focus and determination is growing stronger now and this momentum will continue this week. At deeper levels, you are challenged to face certain fears head on. These are linked to the reality that all things, end, change and transform into something else. There is an upside to this; imagine things did not change? Flow with acceptance, grace and gratitude.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Learning to be one’s own best friend is important to health and well being. This means learning to trust your inner guidance and to be patient with your outer growth, pace and progress. You have entered a dynamic learning curve. Accept this important stage and it will open new doors, now and/or in time. Opportunity is knocking and it includes new learning curves. Meanwhile, quality time spent with friends and loved ones brings fulfillment. Prepare now to enter an inward retreat of sorts. Although outer activities will continue, you can choose to be quieter and more inward. Perhaps some gardening will soothe your soul. In any case, learn ‘how to’.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Taking deliberate actions to move your career ahead has and continues to take extra efforts. In addition to outer challenges, you have also been contending with inner fears and doubt demons. Now it is time to activate a more dynamic round of communications to learn and see from more angles. Regardless of how much we think we know, there are always many more angles and perspectives that we did not consider. Be open to the magic of the flow by opening your heart and mind to new possibilities. Call it a vacation from your habitual perspectives that ego has convinced you reflect ‘the’ truth. All the while, cultivate your professional status and make new friends along the way.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Rich exchanges with others, philosophical reflections and cultural involvements are yielding many new perspectives. Forward thinking in your career is a motivation. Recognize that successful people are disciplined and feel the fears; yet they focus and take action anyway. Perseverance is a corner stone of success and achievement. This is an important message for you now. If you feel the chips are down in any way, chalk it up to a character building process. Taking new creative turns in your career includes gathering new tools and refining existing ones.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Clearing away the old to make way for the new continues to be important. Whether this includes debts, blocks to greater intimacy or other important responsibilities, you want to see the bigger picture to feel more secure about your choices and direction. The key now is to push beyond your own habitual perspectives. This is a common challenge and it brings its own rewards. Stagnation of any kind may feel comfortable yet is a mind trap. Everything in existence moves and cycles and we are meant to as well. Aim for an upward spiral by playing the game, your way.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The desire for more depth and variety in your most important relationships continues. You are learning how and when to assert and yield. This implies subtlety and sensitivity to people and circumstances. Like driving a car is busy traffic, concentration and self-confidence are required to follow through. Even the most ordinary events can be regarded as valuable lessons not to mention food for thought and even poetry. Opening your mind to creative angles of possibility is the key point. Research and other forms of investigation are highlighted. All the way, strike a balance between sensuality and productivity.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Building a more solid platform for professional and social success is on your mind. This will lead you to engage more fully in exchange and conversation with others and important outer realities this week. Your willingness to give fully to the situation is the key to success now. Keep an open mind and beware of defending your position, especially since it was simply learned along the way. Be willing to give to the situation and you will gain some valuable tools and insights. On the other hand, if you feel extra confident that you have something to share, clarify your position with diplomacy.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are in a deep and prolonged process of reinventing yourself. This means seeing yourself and the world and in the world in new ways. Sometimes the shift is subtle and other times radical, yet both are significant. Take a constructively critical approach to know where and how to make these adjustments. Your willingness to learn and earn higher degrees and levels is ideal. This cycle will continue for another couple of years, yet begin now so you do not get left behind. Higher education is usually worthwhile, especially if you enjoy the journey.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Establishing a more secure base continues. This includes inner security as well as outer organization. The emphasis will shift this week to more focus and innovation. Creative communications and exchanges will also become more important. Keep an open mind in the process. Be willing to be moved and even pushed by others, for the sake of success and break through. Be willing to let go of previous roles, occupations, relationships, styles and ways of thinking and being in the world. Although you have already taken some of the sharper turns, you continue to wind around some pretty deep and mysterious bends, as though deep in the canyons of Yellow Stone Park. Embrace the mystery for all its magic.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Establishing a more creative and dynamic base of operations close to home will become your focus this week. This will include closer communications with family members and perhaps neighbours. Make efforts to create a space and clear intentions to be productive. You will want to diversify your focus. From yard work and gardening perhaps to brainstorming sessions for new ideas and practical possibilities. Be willing to increase your network and expand your scope of focus and angles of approach. Accept delays, demands and restrictions coming from outer sources. Aim to meet these with integrity and determination and you will win, eventually.
