Daily Forecast for Demarco Frank October 22, 1965 February 6, 2002 - August 6, 2002
You may notice that to the right of the date is a code, such as "Mer Tri Jup". This code indicates the astrological influence that is in effect on that day and is causing the astrological influence. You can ignore this code; it is printed in case you are interested in the astrological basis of the interpretation. Most interpretations are short, about one paragraph. But occasionally an interpretation that is several paragraphs long may be printed. These longer interpretations are very strong and may affect your for several days before and after the date on which they occur. On most days there are several astrological influences in effect. In case you are interested in astrological theory, here is some more information on how your Daily Forecast is produced: First, all of the major astrological influences on a given day are determined, and then the major aspects of transiting planets, except the Moon, are printed. If there are no major aspects, then a minor aspect or lunar transit is interpreted. By using this method, all major influences that occur on each day are described and on a day when there are only minor influences, the most important of these minor influences is printed. By selecting the more dominant influences of the day, your Daily Forecast focuses on the most powerful influences of each day so that you pay attention to those issues which are most conspicuous and relevant to you each day. We hope you enjoy your Daily Forecast. Remember that astrology is not fatalistic. Astrological influences are real and they are powerful (we are certain of this, although of course many skeptics disagree), but you have the free will to make the best of what life serves up to you each day. We hope that your Daily Forecast will assist you in making the best possible decisions and will help you feel more confident and clear about how to best deal with the circumstances and situations you encounter. For the benefit of astrologers, some technical details are given below. Tropical/Placidus NATAL CHART

Many errands, phone calls, letters which require a response, and other "busywork" is on the agenda. A minor but rather tense confrontation is likely. Mars Trine Mars Self-confidence, physical energy, and courage run high, so this is a fine time to undertake any project or challenge that confronts you, especially if it involves competition or asserting yourself vigorously. You are inclined to take charge or assume a leadership role at this time. Thursday, Feb 7, 2002 Mars Trine Asc At this time it is easy for you to express yourself boldly and confidently. You seem to care less about outside approval and this frees you to act on your own behalf or to do something you have not had the courage to attempt before. Your health and vitality are quite good, and you need physical outlets for your energies now. Sun Sqr Nep Confusion, inability to focus on mundane tasks, poor understanding or miscommunication between yourself and others, and the desire to evade real responsibilities and challenges are negative potentials for you now. You are more sensitive, impressionable, dreamy, or idealistic at this time also. Friday, Feb 8, 2002 Mars Trine Ven Right now you are more magnetic and sexually attractive, and your love life is likely to be both harmonious and satisfying. You experience a positive flow of warmth and friendliness between yourself and others, and you are stimulated and energized by your casual interactions with others of the opposite sex. Creative and artistic efforts also flourish at this time. Saturday, Feb 9, 2002 Moon SSxt Mars Shared enthusiasm for some project or athletic event is accentuated now. This is a good time to coordinate your efforts with others and really get something started. Sunday, Feb 10, 2002 Moon SSqr Sat Duties and obligations seem burdensome or at least emotionally restricting to you, and you may feel self-pity or temporarily down in the dumps. You are not in a sociable, gregarious mood no matter what surroundings you find yourself in. Monday, Feb 11, 2002 Ven Trine Sun Relaxation, enjoyment, and pleasure are emphasized now. This is not a time to push yourself or to be involved in activities that require intense competition or a great expenditure of energy. Cooperative, harmonious personal and professional relationships are more important to you at this time. You feel like socializing and being friendly. Merc Sqr Sun There is much activity; you move rapidly from one thing to another and a hectic, somewhat stressful pace is likely. Many errands, phone calls, letters which require a response, and other "busywork" is on the agenda. A minor but rather tense confrontation is likely. Tuesday, Feb 12, 2002 Merc Trine MC At this time you put extra energy into thinking about and organizing your work and professional life. Decisions you make at this time are likely to work out well, as you are clear and objective. Gathering information regarding your career or long-range goals is also favored. Wednesday, Feb 13, 2002 Ven Trine Jup Emotional well-being and contentment characterize this time period. You feel quite relaxed and carefree, and this would be a splendid time for a vacation. Laziness, self-indulgence, and expecting everything to work out well with no effort on your part are negative possibilities now. You feel very lucky and you are likely to be lax or extravagant with your money. Material benefits are, indeed, likely at this time, but beware of being overly generous or depending too much on Lady Luck. Thursday, Feb 14, 2002 Mars Qucnx Nep You seesaw between decisive, forceful action and passive surrender. This ambivalence makes you much less effective than you would be at other times. Emotions and dreams are apt to be rather turbulent, filled with strange restlessness or discontent. Try not to demand too much of yourself at this time. You are prone to infection and, on an emotional level, to getting discouraged. Friday, Feb 15, 2002 Merc Qucnx Jup Your choices and decisions may lack prudence, realism, or sound judgment right now. Be wary of overly optimistic plans which are presented to you, signing contracts without doing thorough background work or reading the fine print, or promising something which will be difficult for you to fulfill. Questions of honor, ethics, law, or morality arise in your mind at this time. Saturday, Feb 16, 2002 Moon SSxt Sat This is a calm, balanced, rather quiet time. You keep to yourself pretty much and can get some practical chores accomplished. Sunday, Feb 17, 2002 Sun Trine Sun Confidence and inner harmony prevail. You can move forward with creative projects and express yourself more easily and comfortably now. Your efforts are well received at this time. Monday, Feb 18, 2002 Sun Qucnx MC A minor social disgrace or embarrassment is likely now, especially if you are in the public eye. You may be upstaged or challenged in a particularly disconcerting way. However, how you handle any humiliation or adverse situation which occurs at this time may well be crucial to future success. Influential men in your life are implicated. Tuesday, Feb 19, 2002 Moon Qucnx Mars You are feeling testy and contentious, which can lead you to rashly say or do something you will later regret. Try not to put yourself into situations which you know from experience try your patience; you will be in short supply now. On the other hand, you may be the target of others' frustrations and anger, whether justified or not, so try not to make their problem your problem by responding tit for tat... a headache or even an accident could result. Wednesday, Feb 20, 2002 Merc Trine Moon It is easy for you to talk about your feelings now and also to listen sensitively to not only what others are saying but also what they are feeling. This is an excellent time to discuss your feelings and clear the air of any grievances you may be holding on to from the past. Your communication with women is especially good at this time. Sun Trine Jup This is a good time for relaxing recreation, a time to refresh and rejuvenate yourself and do the things you most enjoy doing. Good humor and optimism prevail now, and you are able to get a larger perspective on your life. This is also a good time to approach someone who is in a position to benefit you spiritually, intellectually, or materially. Ven Conj Sat Emotional self-control and feelings of distance and aloneness characterize this time. You are coolly objective about your friends and loved ones and their shortcomings as friends or lovers. You are probably being a bit too critical and hard on them right now. This is also a time for belt-tightening and being very cautious about investments and expenditures. Going on a diet is favored now. Thursday, Feb 21, 2002 Moon Sqr Sat Duties and obligations seem burdensome or at least emotionally restricting to you, and you may feel self-pity or temporarily down in the dumps. You are not in a sociable, gregarious mood no matter what surroundings you find yourself in. Friday, Feb 22, 2002 Ven Sqr Mars Tangles in romantic relationships are likely now. Your sexual drive is quite strong, and you may be more concerned with satisfying your own desires than in being sensitive to your partner. All interactions with people of the opposite sex are inclined to be tense right now. Saturday, Feb 23, 2002 Ven Sqr Asc You are a peacemaker now since harmony in your environment seems more important than ever. Loving relationships, giving and receiving affection, and attracting people into your life who are good for you are very likely at this time. Ven Sqr Ven What occurs now makes you more aware of what you need, feel, and want in your relationships. If you are unhappy in your personal life, this is brought out now, and you'll need to face what is causing your dissatisfaction. Differences in personal style, tastes, and ways of expressing affection may emerge. You also feel amorous and loving and, if your personal life is going well, this is a time to really enjoy and appreciate it. Sunday, Feb 24, 2002 Ven Trine Merc This is a good time to schedule social activities or even business meetings where tact and friendliness would be a plus. You act as a diplomat and harmonizer between people with differing viewpoints. Also, attending cultural events such as an art show or a play is favored. Thoughts of love, an appreciation for beauty, and an aesthetic enjoyment of your surroundings are brought to the fore. A short pleasure trip would also be beneficial now. Monday, Feb 25, 2002 Merc SSxt Sat Your mind is serious and you are able to concentrate on work that requires patience, attention to detail, and precision. Practical concerns dominate. It is a good time to learn practical skills, do your taxes, organize your files, and take care of business. You'll want to avoid light social conversation or trivialities that distract you from your work. Tuesday, Feb 26, 2002 Ven Oppos Plu An intense emotional or sexual attraction, a very revealing, intimate encounter, or a powerful desire to be close to and share your deepest feelings with someone is very likely now. Emotions and issues in a close relationship that have been brewing beneath the surface for quite awhile come to the surface at this time, possibly in a very disruptive way. All of your relationships intensify and you need to be aware of your tendency to act in a rather compulsive, demanding way towards others. Ven Oppos Ura You are prone to act erratically in your relationships. A sudden infatuation or an impulse to break free or make radical changes in a current relationship is likely. Also, a taste for the unusual and unconventional emerges. You may find yourself enjoying things you never thought you would like. Wednesday, Feb 27, 2002 Ven Trine Nep At this time you are more sensitive to beauty and also to the feelings and needs of others. It is easy for you to give generously of yourself, for you sympathize strongly with other people and spiritual values are more important than material ones at this time. Merc Sxtil Mars You are eager to discuss your thoughts and plans with others at this time and you may have a very fruitful brainstorming session, a spirited debate, or a very active meeting with others in which things really get accomplished. You are verbally assertive and can present your own plan or idea quite convincingly. Thursday, Feb 28, 2002 Mars Oppos Sun Intense competition or conflict is quite likely at this time. You feel you must fight or stand up for your rights in the face of some person or situation that opposes you. You may actually seek out a battle in order to test your own powers. Beware of acting so abruptly or aggressively that you bring harm to yourself or other people. Merc Sxtil Asc This is an excellent time to be out and about. There are significant opportunities to make connections, exchange information, and to learn something through a meeting or chance encounter. Letters, phone calls, and conversations that you initiate are productive at this time. Friday, Mar 1, 2002 Merc Sxtil Ven There is a friendly, cooperative, harmonious tone to the interactions you have now. It is a good time for social activities and for getting in touch with friends. You avoid heavy discussions and do not want to focus on dry, practical matters. Reading light fiction, going out to see a romantic comedy, or simply sharing a pleasant time with someone you like is more in tune with your feelings now. Merc Sqr Merc Intellectual disagreements or differences of opinion and viewpoints arise now. You may have to speak your mind in a way that challenges or unnerves someone else. However, your mind is very active and sharp, and your reasoning power is good, so this is a good time to do mental work. Sun Conj Sat You are serious and disinclined to frivolous or inconsequential activity. It's a time best spent working alone, structuring and organizing your life in some way, and focusing on whatever tasks (however distasteful or tedious) that you really need to do. You feel like withdrawing from people and find social situations unfulfilling or wasteful. Your vitality and your spirits are somewhat dampened. Saturday, Mar 2, 2002 Merc Sesqu Jup Your mind is on bigger issues and long-range plans. You are optimistic and enthusiastic about your ideas, but disinclined to read the fine print or study all the facts, which can result in an error in judgment. Try not to be lax about important details. Sunday, Mar 3, 2002 Mars Sxtil Jup Doors open and new opportunities for personal and professional growth present themselves. Any initiative or action you feel inclined to take at this time is likely to lead to a positive outcome for you. Partnerships or joining with others for mutual benefit is favored. Your energy level is high; this is a good time for athletics, especially team sports. Monday, Mar 4, 2002 Sun Sqr Mars You know just what you want right now and woe to anyone or anything that gets in your way! You are much more likely to become domineering, pushy, or inconsiderate of others now, so it is a good time for you to do what you need to do by yourself rather than with others. Accidents, mistakes made in haste, or ego conflicts may occur due to your impatience and willfulness. Positively, physical energy is high and you could accomplish a great deal. Merc Sqr Nep Mental clarity, discrimination, and your ability to separate fact from fiction is diminished now. Miscommunications and an inability to formulate your ideas coherently are likely. Your mind wanders, and this can be a time of creative reverie or daydreaming. Avoid making binding contracts at this time. Plu Sqr Plu A great deal of questioning about your role in life, your philosophical assumptions, and your overall purpose in life arise now. You become acutely aware of the way in which your parents have influenced your life, and how your own lack of self-confidence or fears have affected your decisions. You are likely to make some major decisions now that will help you mature as an individual and become more focused on the things that are deeply meaningful to you. Your overall attitude towards life can mature greatly now. This maturing process is a difficult one, for it involves dropping old habits and attachments, but having the courage and honesty to look at your life and make necessary adjustments pays off in a much healthier and sounder approach to life. Sun Sqr Asc You may feel out of step with the people in your immediate environment now, not in harmony with the intentions and desires of those you work or live with. Relationships, especially professional ones, can be tense, especially if you attempt to work your own will. This is not a time to force issues. Tuesday, Mar 5, 2002 Sun Sqr Ven Your desire for love and affection, as well as beauty and pleasure, is strong now and you act on feelings and creative impulses more readily than usual. If you are not happy with some aspect of your personal life, these issues arise at this time and there may be disagreements or tension in a close relationship. Sun Trine Merc If you are a writer, teacher or student or are involved in any intellectual work, this is a positive time for you: ideas flow and it is easier than usual to express your thoughts. Also, this is a good time for buying, selling, negotiating, and communications of all kinds. Wednesday, Mar 6, 2002 Moon Conj Ven You feel love, affection, harmony with others, and a need for beauty in your surroundings. Doing something to add to the attractiveness of your environment or appearance will make you happy. Thursday, Mar 7, 2002 Ven Oppos MC This is an excellent time for home improvements, particularly those which enhance the appearance and beauty of your living space. Decorating or rearranging furniture in order to create a more harmonious and pleasing arrangement is favored. Relationships with your family are very satisfying and loving, and you may also wish to invite company into your home. The role of gracious host or hostess suits you very well right now. Friday, Mar 8, 2002 Sun Oppos Plu You directly confront something that has been hidden, forgotten, or ignored for a long time. Unresolved issues in personal relationships are stirred up and the underlying causes of a painful or problematic aspect of a relationship may be brought to light. Personal power and control are issues for you now, and if you take too much power (i.e. are manipulative and tyrannical) or too little power (i.e. are overly passive and easily victimized), then you will become embroiled in power struggles with others. Sun Oppos Ura Relationships go awry or at least take an unexpected turn. The need for more freedom, independence, or novelty on your part, or on the part of someone close to you, may disrupt the status quo in an important relationship. You may also come into contact with someone who is very different from yourself and who challenges, surprises, or upsets you. Expect the unexpected in your relationships! Saturday, Mar 9, 2002 Ven Sqr Jup This is a time when it is difficult to stay within a budget or on a diet, as your tendency is to splurge on beautiful things and to enjoy yourself as much as possible. You want comfort and ease and have luxurious tastes. Quality is especially important to you right now. Also, you want to share whatever good fortune you have. You need company and happy fellowship. It's a good time for a party, as long as you don't overdo it. Sun Trine Nep At this time you really enjoy art, theater, music, and your own inner world of fantasy. Your imagination is vivid. If you have an interest in spiritual matters, these interests come to the fore now also. The inability to be decisive and a lack of energy or drive is a negative possibility. You can be quite lazy now. Sunday, Mar 10, 2002 Moon Trine Moon Your rapport and empathy with others is flowing well now. Supportive alliances are formed or strengthened, and family solidarity and kinship ties are emphasized. Monday, Mar 11, 2002 Merc Trine Sun You are very clear and perceptive now. It's a good time to make a decision or come to an agreement, negotiate, exchange your views with others, or present your case. If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communication, this is a very productive time for you. Ideas flow, and you express your thoughts well. Ven Oppos Moon Your feelings, friends, and female relatives figure prominently in your life now. You realize how much you appreciate and need their love and support, and you are particularly affectionate now. You may also initiate a relationship in which you take care of, support, and "baby" someone else. Tuesday, Mar 12, 2002 Merc Trine Jup This is a good time to travel, especially to places you've never experienced before, where you will be exposed to new ideas and different ways of looking at the world. Studying new concepts is also favored; your ability to understand abstract ideas and your desire to grow intellectually is strong now. Anything that broadens your world appeals to you at this time. You are interested in the big picture and have less attention and interest in details. Wednesday, Mar 13, 2002 Moon Conj Sat You're feeling quiet, somber, realistic, and contained. If a dark mood comes over you, know that it is temporary. You tend to see things more pessimistically than usual right now. Thursday, Mar 14, 2002 Moon Qucnx Sun A minor emotional disequilibrium or feeling of being off-center is apt to disrupt your day. You are in a bit of a funk which, fortunately, is apt to be short-lived. However, major decisions or appointments are best postponed until you are feeling more balanced. Friday, Mar 15, 2002 Merc Qucnx Moon Your sense of perspective and proportion is a bit skewed at the moment. Small problems loom large and details and other minor matters consume a lot of attention and focus. You are apt to be mentally restless, scattered, unable to concentrate on the immediate task at hand, absorbed in something related to the past. A somewhat disconcerting, but only too familiar, interaction with a parent, child, or other family member is likely. Be aware that you may be too stuck in your own point of view or self protectiveness to really hear what they are trying to convey. Saturday, Mar 16, 2002 Ven SSxt Sat You are feeling sober and realistic about love at this time, and are interested in being with people you respect and can depend upon - your oldest, true-blue friends. Also, reaching out to an older relative or another mature, experienced person can mean a lot to you and be mutually beneficial now. Sunday, Mar 17, 2002 Mars Sxtil Sat Self-discipline, training, persevering through a dry or slow period, and working quietly or in meager circumstances are themes in this time period. You have the ability and stamina to concentrate, to work carefully and thoroughly, and to accomplish something modest, yet of real practical value and substance now. Monday, Mar 18, 2002 Ven Trine Mars You feel quite amorous and affectionate now and will very much want to share this time with someone you love or at least with congenial company. Your creative or artistic inclinations are also stimulated, and your work in these areas will be especially satisfying and successful at this time. Merc Conj Sat You have a very realistic and no-nonsense attitude at this time and are rather critical, skeptical, or at the very least, cautious about new ideas. Deep, quiet study and solitary reflection is favored. You are more taciturn and uncommunicative than usual and don't feel very social. If you are with others, you are likely to turn the discussions into something heavy and serious. Frivolity holds no appeal for you now. Tuesday, Mar 19, 2002 Ven Trine Asc At this time you are inclined to invest your time and money into making your environment more beautiful and comfortable. You may also wish to enhance your personal appearance in some way, such as getting a new hair style or purchasing clothing, cosmetics, and the like. Social gatherings are also very positive for you now. Ven Trine Ven Contentment, emotional well-being, and harmony prevail in your personal relationships. At this time you relax and indulge in your pleasure-loving side. Unless other astrological indications override this influence, you are unlikely to be forceful and try to make things happen, but instead are inclined to flow along with people and situations, attracting what you need and letting the world come to you. Wednesday, Mar 20, 2002 Sun Oppos MC This is a time for withdrawing your energy, attention, and efforts from the outside world and external goals in order to replenish yourself. Quiet reflection and attention to your inner world, your family, and the foundation that supports all of your outside activities is called for. This is a time to "lie low". You may have to work quietly or without much outside recognition at this time. Merc Sqr Mars Errors made in haste, speaking too forcefully, sharp words spoken on impulse, or accidents occurring due to restlessness and impatience are all possible at this time. You feel that you have to fight for what you want or believe in, and you are very clear, decisive, and convincing right now, but you also tend to stir up more controversy or competitive feelings than is really necessary. Merc Sqr Asc You will be alert and on your toes now. The pace is likely to be fast, even hectic. You are restless and eager to meet others halfway, to converse, exchange information, and make connections. Nervousness or irritability due to aggravations and the stress of increased demands at work is possible. Thursday, Mar 21, 2002 Merc Sqr Ven You are more distressed than usual over any dissonance in your environment or personal relationships, and you are inclined to avoid serious discussions or real disagreements with others. Also, challenging mental work and concentration is difficult for you now. Merc Trine Merc Conversations and sharing plans and ideas with others are very fruitful now. You understand what others are telling you, and you make yourself clearly understood also. This is a favorable time for getting your message across to others via writing, speaking, or advertising. Friday, Mar 22, 2002 Sun Sqr Jup You are optimistic and possibly extravagant now. You are less cautious than usual, feeling that nothing can possibly go wrong. If you are inclined to overindulge, overspend, or go to excesses in any manner, this tendency is exaggerated at this time. However, you also aim higher than usual and a very promising opportunity or contact can also occur. Merc Oppos Plu This can be a time for exposing and talking about hidden, intensely private, secret, or taboo subjects. Your mind is very probing and your conversations and interactions with others are intense. Pat answers and superficialities don't suffice now. You can be too intrusive or overbearing when stating your point of view. Merc Oppos Ura This time is filled with stimulating discussions about controversial topics, unusual or offbeat ideas, or "crazy" schemes. The tempo of your life increases and may leave you feeling frazzled. Because you are quite restless, you may do or say things in haste that you will regret later. Saturday, Mar 23, 2002 Mars Oppos Merc You are inclined to jump to conclusions at this time and to rashly say and do things which you may regret later. You may suddenly decide to act on some idea or plan you have been considering, which can be good as long as you don't move so abruptly and quickly that you override other people's say in the matter. At this time, too, you are quite sharp and possibly sarcastic, which can create unnecessary hard feelings or opposition to your plans. Merc Trine Nep You are inspired creatively, artistically, or spiritually at this time. Your imagination, intuition, and psychic sensitivity are high now, and you find yourself wanting to paint or listen to music, daydream, or fantasize rather than concentrate on practical matters. Sunday, Mar 24, 2002 Sun Sesqu Nep Confusion, inability to focus on mundane tasks, poor understanding or miscommunication between yourself and others, and the desire to evade real responsibilities and challenges are negative potentials for you now. You are more sensitive, impressionable, dreamy, or idealistic at this time also. Monday, Mar 25, 2002 Sun Oppos Moon Your feelings, emotional needs, and desires for closeness and a sense of belonging come to the fore now. You give your home, personal relationships, and inner life more attention. Problems you may have been avoiding in these areas are brought into focus. Tuesday, Mar 26, 2002 Mars Trine Plu Getting what you really want and moving toward achieving the things which are important to you may involve surrendering something or eliminating something from your life at this time. Perhaps an attitude, a situation, or an attachment that has been impeding you is now released. You feel free to concentrate on the things that are most important to you now. Major, long-term changes can be successfully begun now - a lifestyle change or a regimen of self-improvement, for instance. Wednesday, Mar 27, 2002 Mars Trine Ura Increased physical courage and a strong sense of adventure combine to make this a very interesting time. You need to do something innovative, daring, unusual, liberating, exciting, and challenging. You are inclined to act on some of the wilder impulses and desires you feel from time to time. You crave stimulation. If you have an inventive streak, you could make a startling discovery or breakthrough now. Thursday, Mar 28, 2002 Mars Oppos Nep At this time your interactions with others and with the outside world in general can be confusing, devitalizing, and discouraging. It seems that whatever you try to do goes nowhere or gets lost in a haze of misunderstanding. This is not a good time to try to toot your own horn or attempt to get personal recognition for your efforts. Taking time off, working quietly, or doing something primarily for the benefit of others without concern for personal gain is favored at this time. Friday, Mar 29, 2002 Merc Oppos MC Your mind is directed inward now. Reflecting on your personal life, and the overall direction you are headed in, is very likely now. Thoughts of the past and the choices you made are also prominent. Making a decision regarding your home or your family life is favored at this time. Saturday, Mar 30, 2002 Merc Sqr Jup Your mind is on bigger issues and long-range plans. You are optimistic and enthusiastic about your ideas, but disinclined to read the fine print or study all the facts, which can result in an error in judgment. Try not to be lax about important details. Sunday, Mar 31, 2002 Ven Oppos Sun You feel quite loving and warm, with a desire to give and receive affection and appreciation. Also, your desire for beauty stimulates your creativity. If you are artistic, your work will be particularly inspired now. Indulging in your desire for beauty or luxury is likely at this time. Monday, Apr 1, 2002 Merc Oppos Moon At this time you have important discussions with women and with people you are (or once were) very close to. You may wish to visit, write, or make a telephone call to someone from your past. Connecting with your roots is the theme now, with an emphasis on seeing the past objectively. Memories and old feelings surface very clearly now. Tuesday, Apr 2, 2002 Ven Sxtil Jup Both friendship and material benefits may well come to you at this time. You feel very sociable and gregarious and seek conviviality, especially with people who really know how to have a good time. Charitable and philanthropic impulses are stronger now, also, and should be followed with positive action on your part. Wednesday, Apr 3, 2002 Sun Trine Mars You have an abundance of physical energy and self-confidence right now and can take on new projects and challenges with ease. You feel bolder and less dependent on others' affirmation and approval. Taking a strong stand or striking out on your own in some manner is likely to work out well for you. Sun Trine Asc You are in harmony with the people in your immediate environment. There is a sense of ease and of flowing with, rather than fighting against or resisting, what is going on around you. Therefore, you have more energy and more fun at this time. Now is a good time to make a presentation, go for an interview, or meet the public in some way; the response is positive. Thursday, Apr 4, 2002 Sun Trine Ven Giving and receiving appreciation, love, and happiness come into your life now. You are moved to express your affections more openly than usual. You also want to be surrounded with beauty and harmonious people, and your artistic efforts flourish. Friday, Apr 5, 2002 Merc Trine Mars This is a good time to assert your own needs and desires, to communicate to others what you really want. You are sharp, clear, decisive, and articulate. You can't stand being idle now; you are ready for challenging, intellectual activities and attacking difficult problems on the job. Plu Sqr Plu A great deal of questioning about your role in life, your philosophical assumptions, and your overall purpose in life arise now. You become acutely aware of the way in which your parents have influenced your life, and how your own lack of self-confidence or fears have affected your decisions. You are likely to make some major decisions now that will help you mature as an individual and become more focused on the things that are deeply meaningful to you. Your overall attitude towards life can mature greatly now. This maturing process is a difficult one, for it involves dropping old habits and attachments, but having the courage and honesty to look at your life and make necessary adjustments pays off in a much healthier and sounder approach to life. Merc Trine Asc Communications are excellent now. You come across clearly and present yourself articulately. Public speaking, interviews, and other transactions with the public are favored. Conversations you have at this time go smoothly, and an agreement can be reached. Saturday, Apr 6, 2002 Merc Trine Ven You are very congenial and cooperative now and more interested in the similarities than in the differences between yourself and others. This is a very good time to let people know you care about them: send a card, write a note of appreciation or even a love letter! You may also want to buy something beautiful, pleasing, and frivolous which simply makes you feel good. Sat Sqr Sat You are very critical and demanding of yourself at this time. You question your real worth and integrity, the major decisions you have made, and your ability to successfully follow through on ideas and plans. You meet obstacles and restrictions which further confirm your suspicions that your life is not on track! A serious loss of confidence can occur. One of the worst tendencies of this astrological influence is to feel frustrated, cut off from the good things in life, and upset with oneself, but do nothing at all about it except complain and feel anxious. You must be willing to see weaknesses, hypocrisies, egotism, and insincerity in yourself and make a sincere attempt to rid yourself of these ills. You must break the old habits and be able to take a fresh approach to these ingrained tendencies. You must have the courage to make a change, and the changes needed have more to do with HOW you do things than WHAT you do. This is a time to find greater sincerity and meaningfulness in your life and work and to rid yourself of extravagances, pomp, and vanity. Sunday, Apr 7, 2002 Sun Qucnx Ura Nervous tension, impatience, uneven or erratic rhythms, and/or a disruption of your usual pace can make this time very challenging. You are apt to deal with some recalcitrant people or become that way yourself. Beware of burning bridges behind you in your heightened impatience or restless intolerance of anything that thwarts you now. Monday, Apr 8, 2002 Merc Qucnx Nep Moments of confusion, disorientation, and mental fogginess are likely. You may misunderstand or misconstrue something that is stated in ambiguous terms, so be absolutely certain that everything is spelled out and crystal clear. You are also apt to forget appointments, overlook significant details, make errors in computation, etc. Any sort of intoxicants or chemicals should be strictly avoided now. They will make you very dopey, or possibly even poison you. Tuesday, Apr 9, 2002 Sun Qucnx Nep Vague feelings of weakness or a mysterious or unexplained illness and/or oversensitivity to chemicals, poisons, and pollutants can make this a challenging time. Your defenses are not as strong as usual which makes you susceptible to being overpowered by outside forces. Be gentle and don't expect too much of yourself right now. Intoxicants of any sort are best avoided at this time. Wednesday, Apr 10, 2002 Ven Sxtil Sat You are feeling sober and realistic about love at this time, and are interested in being with people you respect and can depend upon - your oldest, true-blue friends. Also, reaching out to an older relative or another mature, experienced person can mean a lot to you and be mutually beneficial now. Thursday, Apr 11, 2002 Merc SSqr Sat Your thinking is rather gloomy and pessimistic at this time. You see the superficiality, the flaws, and the foolishness or impracticality in others' plans. Also, communicating with others is difficult now, and people resist what you are saying. You feel more inhibited and uncommunicative, and you sense that others are not receptive. Frustrating conversations and the feeling that you are coming across negatively are possible now, so you are inclined simply to keep your thoughts to yourself. Friday, Apr 12, 2002 Mars Trine MC You can make your influence felt at this time and any efforts you make to advance your career or other important long-range goals will be very effective. Independent action, self-reliance, or taking on more of a leadership position are favored now. You have the green light! Merc Oppos Sun A short trip, or at least a lot of activity and movement, is very likely now. A significant conversation, learning from another person, and getting your own ideas and perceptions across to others is also likely. You may hear from someone who has important information for you or feel a pressing need to write or call someone else in order to bring some matter in the open. Communications of all kinds play an important role in your life now. Saturday, Apr 13, 2002 Ven Oppos Merc You are more clear and objective about personal matters and your relationships, so this is a favorable time to iron out differences or come to a decision. Communicating openly with loved ones, taking a trip to visit friends, or going on an outing accompanied by one you love figures prominently now. Sunday, Apr 14, 2002 Merc Sxtil Jup You are optimistic, hopeful, and forward-looking at this time. You can see connections and possibilities you may have overlooked before. Now is a time for communicating your enthusiasm, sharing your plans and dreams, and also being more receptive to others' thoughts and points of view. Contracts, negotiations, and business dealings of all kinds are favored now. Monday, Apr 15, 2002 Ven Trine Plu You have a special magnetism and attractive power now, and you are feeling intensely loving also. Your relationships, particularly sexual or romantic ones, intensify and have a deep, compelling, urgent quality. Your inner feelings and needs for love and closeness emerge very strongly. You may also channel some of these feelings into creative or artistic work, something that evokes and expresses your deepest self. Ven Trine Ura Unexpected pleasures, new friends, or a more playful, adventurous attitude in your relationships make this time period stimulating and delightful. You want a break from your usual routine and, because you are willing to experiment and to be spontaneous, you are likely to experience a refreshing change of pace. A new romance or a revitalization of a current one is very likely. Tuesday, Apr 16, 2002 Ven Oppos Nep You are in a dreamy, romantic mood. Yearnings for love, feelings of compassion, or even religious devotion accompany this time period. You are definitely more idealistic, tolerant, and selfless in your relationships, which may cause you to act against your own interests. Decisions involving money or important commitments to others, therefore, should probably be made some other time. A desire for loveliness and beauty in your surroundings is also strong. Wednesday, Apr 17, 2002 Ven Sesqu Moon The craving for sweetness and comfort in the form of loving affection or food is strong now. This is a good time to baby yourself and also to spend time with the people who love and appreciate you the most. Also, you are feeling rather tender and softhearted and may do something "maternal" on impulse (such as take home a stray kitten, offer to babysit, buy a gift for your family, etc.). Thursday, Apr 18, 2002 Merc Sxtil Sat Your mind is serious and you are able to concentrate on work that requires patience, attention to detail, and precision. Practical concerns dominate. It is a good time to learn practical skills, do your taxes, organize your files, and take care of business. You'll want to avoid light social conversation or trivialities that distract you from your work. Friday, Apr 19, 2002 Sun Oppos Sun This is a time to get others' opinions and feedback about yourself and what you are doing. Relationships of all types are activated now and cooperation, compromise, and adjustments to others' viewpoints are key issues that require your attention. You may come into contact with a person who is especially creative or influential in your life. Saturday, Apr 20, 2002 Mars Trine Moon Your feelings run hot now, and you are more likely to act on instinct, emotion, and impulse rather than reason. Your responses to life are passionate and also more natural, childlike, and direct. High-spirited physical play, lovemaking, or any activity that really involves you emotionally, such as a rock concert or a rousing football game, will be very gratifying to you now. Merc Oppos Merc Exchanging information, ideas, and opinions plays an important role in your life now. A significant conversation with someone who has a very different attitude or perspective than your own is likely. Try to be receptive and learn as much as you can from others at this time. Also, mental curiosity or restlessness impels you to get out and about, perhaps take a short trip or visit. Sunday, Apr 21, 2002 Sun Sxtil Jup Agreements, contracts, and joining your efforts with others will work out very much to your advantage now. A friend or person in authority may offer help or present an opportunity which will benefit you now or in the future. Also, you will reap rewards later for the generosity and aid you extend to others at this time. Monday, Apr 22, 2002 Merc Trine Plu There is great depth to your conversations. You find yourself revealing secrets or very private matters, and also asking very penetrating questions of others. Superficial answers don't satisfy you now. This is an excellent time to investigate a complex problem or mystery, look for something that has been lost or hidden, and also to learn more about your own inner depths. Merc Trine Ura You experience sudden insights, make discoveries, come up with fresh solutions to old problems, and seek alternatives to the usual routine way of doing things. Your mental processes are speeded up and you move more quickly now. Try to make room for a lot of spontaneity and flexibility in your schedule at this time. Tuesday, Apr 23, 2002 Merc Oppos Nep This is one of the least favorable times to make a decision or sign a contract, as your communication with others is likely to be fraught with misunderstanding or even outright deception. Your thinking is rather fuzzy now and you are more gullible or swayed by feelings, images, and ideals rather than seeing situations and people as they are. Your imagination is very active at this time. Wednesday, Apr 24, 2002 Moon SSxt Sun Social relationships, friendships, and supportive alliances are strengthened now. Your energy and confidence are high and you can accomplish much in a harmonious, flowing manner right now. Thursday, Apr 25, 2002 Ven Trine MC Your friendly concern for others and your willingness to meet people half way benefits your career, reputation, or public image at this time. This is a favorable time to socialize with people you have professional ties with since the positive feelings you generate now are likely to be an aid to you in the future. Beautifying the place where you meet the public and an increased concern about your own physical appearance are also brought out now. Friday, Apr 26, 2002 Ven SSxt Jup Both friendship and material benefits may well come to you at this time. You feel very sociable and gregarious and seek conviviality, especially with people who really know how to have a good time. Charitable and philanthropic impulses are stronger now, also, and should be followed with positive action on your part. Saturday, Apr 27, 2002 Moon Trine Sat Any activity that requires self-control, self-discipline, and concentrated focus will be of benefit now. Relations with elders are favored also. You are in a quiet, reflective, meditative mood. Sunday, Apr 28, 2002 Sat Oppos Mars Relationships with co-workers and colleagues undergo some changes at this time. A reorganization or change of responsibilities at your place of work may also occur, or a new supervisor or employer may replace the old one at this time. In one way or another, your work is affected by a change in responsibilities and a change in relationships with others. These changes involve trimming the fat from work operations and greater focus on the work that needs to be done. It is likely that your responsibilities will increase, and you will need to focus more on the nitty-gritty, detailed work that is required. If you have been avoiding the tasks at hand, by enjoying extended coffee breaks, sweeping the dust under the rug, etc., this will be a sobering and unwelcome time for you when you are forced to buckle down to the work at hand. Dominance-passivity themes often arise in relationships at this time. Someone may be trying to control you, or vice versa. If you are responsible, dedicated, reliable, and have a strong sense of self-integrity and appreciation of others' unique qualities, then such problems are not likely to arise. Hard work and concentrated effort are required at this time. If you are able to meet the demands placed on you now, you may be able to complete a task that has been hanging over your head for a long time, and you may receive recognition and appreciation from others. However, this is definitely a difficult, challenging time and these rewards will come only as the result of constant dedication to your work. Even with dedication and perseverance, the rewards may be meager compared to what you feel that you deserve. If you have been thinking about relaxing and taking it easy during this time period, you probably should rearrange your plans. This is a time when there is much that needs to be done. Trying to run from these responsibilities will not work as you will not be able to forget about them. Try not to become emotionally depressed or angry because of the demands. It is best to take a positive attitude to the work that needs to be done and realize that there will be other times for more expansive, pleasurable activity. Although this is a difficult time, there can be some benefits. Your ability to persevere and complete tasks now makes it possible to bring long-term, major efforts to a successful completion. This can be a time when you complete a major task and begin plans and designs for a new project. Monday, Apr 29, 2002 Ven Trine Moon You are in a mood to relax and enjoy harmonious surroundings. Your family and friends are a source of particular pleasure and satisfaction, and you may wish to treat them or pamper them in some way. Appreciation for your home and a desire to make it more beautiful or comfortable is strong now also. Merc Trine MC At this time you put extra energy into thinking about and organizing your work and professional life. Decisions you make at this time are likely to work out well, as you are clear and objective. Gathering information regarding your career or long-range goals is also favored. Mars Sqr Sat This is likely to be a time of considerable frustration and discouragement for you. You are unusually sensitive to criticism of your efforts and to the limitations and restraints that your responsibilities entail. Fighting with authority figures or lashing out at others who restrict you in any way is a strong possibility. A sense of struggle or of being overwhelmed by obstacles and blockages is likely to characterize this period. Be patient and don't demand too much of yourself at this time. Work quietly and steadily and rely only on your own resources. Tuesday, Apr 30, 2002 Jup Trine Sat You feel the desire to make several minor, but significant, adjustments in your work. For example, if you are engaged in a business activity, you may discontinue some advertising, use new sources for various services that you use, assign new tasks to employees, change advertising to appeal to a new market, make changes in the product line, etc. The worst mistake you can make at this time is to procrastinate and not act on your ideas! At this time you have an excellent sense of balance and proportion and how to efficiently meet goals and objectives, and you should utilize this sensitivity to improve upon existing situations. These qualities are evident in your personal life as well. You are likely to clean out your closets, reorganize, and also discover new opportunities for growth and enrichment. You may find a business or agency that is interested in a hobby of yours, or a group of people may express interest in an area that you have a lot of experience with. Do not let opportunities pass you by. This is a harmonious and pleasant time for you and one which can also bring some especially nice opportunities to you. You may decide to further your education or receive additional training at this time. This training will prove to be a valuable asset for you so take advantage of this opportunity. Underlying the changes in your life and the decisions you must make is a change in your values and attitudes towards life. You are now able to see your life from a broader perspective and you seek greater meaningfulness in your life. Wednesday, May 1, 2002 Sun Sxtil Sat Your ability to concentrate and focus on your work is very good now. This is a time to attend to details, take care of practical business, and to make your life more stable and secure. It would be beneficial to consult advisors on investments and long-range plans and to put your affairs in order. Eliminating waste and inefficiency is important to you now. Thursday, May 2, 2002 Moon Sxtil Merc Communicating with neighbors, friends, and family is accentuated. This is a good time to establish friendly relations at work also. Gossip and trivial conversation are temptations now. Friday, May 3, 2002 Mars Oppos Mars A furious battle of wills is quite possible, for you are fired up, impatient, aggressive, and inclined to put your own interests and desires ahead of anything else. You may also have to stand up for your rights against some fierce competitor. Also, you can't sit still right now and hasty, abrupt, impulsive action may result in accidents. Saturday, May 4, 2002 Mars Oppos Asc Your relationships have a very competitive, aggressive quality at this time, and conflicts over power and dominance may erupt. You won't compromise yourself to please anyone. Disputes in your marriage or other close partnerships are likely. On the other hand, you may begin a relationship now, boldly taking the initiative to pursue someone you want to be with. You will come on strong to this person, but he or she might just love it! Merc Trine Moon It is easy for you to talk about your feelings now and also to listen sensitively to not only what others are saying but also what they are feeling. This is an excellent time to discuss your feelings and clear the air of any grievances you may be holding on to from the past. Your communication with women is especially good at this time. Ven Sqr Sat Withdrawing from emotional social contact is favored now, for even when you are with others you are likely to feel separate and alone. Sadness and disappointments in your personal life are also probable now. Inadequacies and flaws in your friends or lovers are particularly bothersome to you now, and you may feel that you have nearly exhausted your patience for dealing with these problems. It is a time to be quiet and to look objectively at how your relationships are going. Though not a pleasurable time, this can be a fruitful period in which to learn more about love and what you truly value. Sunday, May 5, 2002 Sat Oppos Asc Critically important decisions are made at this time regarding friendships, associations, and the pursuit of your career goals. An important turning point is reached, and decisions that you make now will affect your life for many years into the future. Relationships either break up or become more solid now. They will not stay lukewarm. For example, if you are unmarried but dating someone, the relationship is very likely to either dissolve or become very serious, with a likelihood of leading to marriage. The reason for these changes is that you, consciously or unconsciously, are now striving to have deep, lasting relationships so light, frivolous relationships do not interest you. Less personal relationships like acquaintances and associations with co-workers and colleagues are also affected, and you now find your relationships narrowing down to one or two close ones, with the other ones disappearing. You are also at a turning point in your career. An opportunity may come to you, or you may become aware of an alternative route to reaching your goals. You are likely to meet resistance from other people, and competitors or domineering people may try to squelch any move you make. You may also form an alliance with an older or more experienced individual whose experience can aid you as well. Be careful in your work-related relationships as a stressful combination of both good and bad developments can seriously affect the course of your career. Avoid associations with individuals who may try to dominate or restrict you later. New responsibilities and obligations to close friends may arise now. You may be called upon to make sacrifices to help an ailing or needy relative or friend. Do not shirk your responsibilities and rather than seeing the situation as an obstacle, see it as an opportunity to help someone in need and whom you perhaps owe a debt to. Also, do not become morose over difficult relationships or separations, and do not allow yourself to let responsibilities to others make you feel enslaved and completely trapped. Take the changes in stride and have the courage to move on. Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate. Mars Oppos Ven You are powerfully attracted, emotionally and sexually, to someone you encounter at this time, and any romantic involvements you currently have are intensified. Expect fireworks! Also, your relationships can become tempestuous, especially if your partner is not as responsive or amorous as you would like. Sun Oppos Merc Conversations, negotiations, meetings, responding to letters and phone calls, and communications of all kinds are important activities now. A significant discussion or exchange of information is likely. This is a good time to get the views of someone you respect. Monday, May 6, 2002 Ven Oppos Mars Relationships with the opposite sex are intensified now. You experience strong feelings of attraction and desire and, if you are unhappy in your sexual life, you can be very tense and angry "for no reason" now. You may be tempted to act on an infatuation. Tuesday, May 7, 2002 Ven Oppos Asc This is a very positive time in your marriage or closest one-to-one relationships. Your need to be together and to share loving feelings is very strong. You want to give to your friends and loved ones and may spend generously in order to make them happy. You may also meet someone now who is very good for you. Ven Oppos Ven Your needs for love, companionship, friendship, and sharing are very strong now, and you won't want to be alone or go off to do solitary work. In fact, you feel like relaxing and enjoying the beautiful side of life rather than laboring or concentrating on difficult tasks. A significant development in a close relationship or strong feelings of attraction to someone you encounter are very likely at this time. Wednesday, May 8, 2002 Sun Trine Plu This is an excellent time to eliminate whatever is unnecessary and outworn in your life from clutter and disorder in your environment to an unhealthy relationship or even a long-held attitude or belief which keeps you from going after what you really want in life. You are also more perceptive than usual. You see other people's true colors more clearly and you may discover a secret or the hidden aspect of some situation. Something lost, hidden, or forgotten may come to light. Sun Trine Ura You have a low tolerance for boredom and following rules today and you make some creative changes and discoveries, experiment with new possibilities, or invent a new way of doing things. You don't want to follow anybody else's lead at this time, but fortunately you are able find ways to be yourself and even be a little "crazy" without offending or upsetting others. This is a dynamic and exciting period. Take advantage of any unusual offers or opportunities. Thursday, May 9, 2002 Mars Sqr Plu Your drive for personal power, achievement, or control over your life is very strong at this time. The tyrant in you emerges, and you can be excessively willful, domineering, or compulsive about doing what you want to. You battle anyone or anything that is an obstacle to your individual freedom of action, and ego conflicts or a furious power struggle may ensue. Also, you can be unmerciful with yourself and your own weaknesses. You are likely to push yourself much too hard. Sun Oppos Nep Your defenses are weaker than usual now and you are inclined to passively withdraw or give in to other people rather than act decisively and strongly in your own behalf. Confusion, vagueness, or misrepresentation can occur in your relationships, so beware of making commitments at this time. You're likely to see things much more clearly and realistically later on. Friday, May 10, 2002 Mars Sqr Ura Rebelliousness, recklessness, impatience, a sudden burst of anger or your need to break free from rules and restrictions may create a lot of disruption in your life right now. Also, you can't seem to settle down or focus on one task for any length of time. Though you are unusually energetic, it is hard for you to get anything done. You tend to fly off the handle and to scatter your forces. You are happiest now when you do something creative and daring, and that doesn't require cooperating or conforming to others' wishes and needs. Ven Sqr Plu Hidden passions, fears, jealousies, longings, desires, or needs surface in you now and can stir up trouble in your closest relationships. You are prone to be compulsive or demanding in a close relationship, to be emotionally driven and to force things to a head in some emotionally-laden situation. Positively, a relationship can be deepened and reborn now, given new life by your willingness to reveal yourself completely to your loved one. Ven Sqr Ura You are impulsively affectionate and flirtatious at this time, and you feel quite restless if you are in a stable, predictable relationship that offers little excitement. You may be highly attracted to someone new, simply because of the novelty and possibilities for adventure. Also, your friends or love partner may behave in unexpected ways. Flexibility and open-mindedness in your relationships is called for now. Sat Oppos Ven A difficult time in love relationships is virtually unavoidable at this time. Areas which you have neglected in your relationship come back to haunt you now. For example, if you have been inconsiderate, domineering, or forgetful of the other person's needs, you may find that your mate is now completely tired of trying to coerce you into cooperating, and a feeling of distance develops in the relationship. You are likely to find that you now need to devote more time to helping the other person and giving more to the other person, rather than simply enjoying his/her company and taking him/her for granted. During this time period you attempt to "restructure" your love relationship. Traits in the other person that previously were minor annoyances now seem like major obstacles. You become very picky about the other person, and you see him/her as too demanding or too independent, too domineering or too passive, lacking in romance and style, or else too mushy and corny. You are very difficult to please now because you've decided what you want in your relationship and you want it now. Your mate may be pressuring you in a similar way to act differently. You must come to grips with what you really want in a relationship and whether the relationship you are in is right for you. If you become sufficiently frustrated, a separation will occur or you will become increasingly lonely, feeling distant from others and unfulfilled in your love needs. On the other hand, if the two of you feel like you have found what you are looking for, then the relationship will become even stronger and the commitment to support and help each other even greater. Saturday, May 11, 2002 Ven Qucnx Nep Right now, you are apt to attract people whose helplessness evokes your pity and compassion. Your discrimination regarding others in general is less acute, and you could be taken advantage of. Your spiritual idealism or desire to help may be misguided or excessive. On another level, there may be indiscretions and/or disappointments in a close personal relationship. Sunday, May 12, 2002 Moon SSqr Jup You feel lucky and are apt to overestimate yourself or the possibilities in some situation. Don't over commit yourself or promise too much, as you're apt to feel foolish or overextended later. Your mood is jovial, however, and social relations are good. Monday, May 13, 2002 Sat Qucnx Merc Interrupted, delayed, or frustrated communication will make this a trying time. You may experience lost or misdirected mail, messages which are forgotten or not relayed until it is too late, or breakdowns in cars or other forms of transportation. There are numerous minor fiascos and adjustments which have to be made. Written agreements or verbal promises go awry, negotiations are painstaking or broken off altogether, and in general it would be better to postpone such matters. Your own reflexes or mental acuity may be slowed down now too. Tuesday, May 14, 2002 Jup Qucnx Mars Poor physical coordination or faulty timing can create minor accidents. You are inclined to take risks that overextend your energy reserves and to have bursts of activity followed by weakness or exhaustion. If you pace yourself, being careful not to bite off more than you can chew, the results of anything you undertake will be better. You might be tempted to do something that is questionable ethically, cutting corners or otherwise acting in a way that is not entirely honorable, in the expectation that something great will come of it. However, this would lead to either legal trouble or damage to your long term goals. Wednesday, May 15, 2002 Moon Trine Sun Positive feelings and inner harmony engender smooth and comfortable relations with others at this time. Your intuition or gut feelings are apt to be right on the mark. Thursday, May 16, 2002 Moon Trine Sat Any activity that requires self-control, self-discipline, and concentrated focus will be of benefit now. Relations with elders are favored also. You are in a quiet, reflective, meditative mood. Friday, May 17, 2002 Moon Sesqu Sat Duties and obligations seem burdensome or at least emotionally restricting to you, and you may feel self-pity or temporarily down in the dumps. You are not in a sociable, gregarious mood no matter what surroundings you find yourself in. Saturday, May 18, 2002 Jup Qucnx Asc Unexpected increases or overexpansion creates inconvenience and stress at this time. Too many opportunities for social, professional, or community involvements can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stretched to the breaking point. This need not be troublesome if you are willing to decline some of the invitations and potential for growth which are offered now. Undue restlessness, insatiability, or a desire for something out of your present grasp is also likely. Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate. Sunday, May 19, 2002 Ven Trine Sun Relaxation, enjoyment, and pleasure are emphasized now. This is not a time to push yourself or to be involved in activities that require intense competition or a great expenditure of energy. Cooperative, harmonious personal and professional relationships are more important to you at this time. You feel like socializing and being friendly. Monday, May 20, 2002 Ven Sqr MC The desire to socialize, to be friendly, or loved may interfere with getting work done or acting in a professional manner. Scheduling time for recreation or to attend to a relationship is a good idea now. Sun Trine MC Your career, reputation, public standing, or important personal goals gain momentum now. Your superiors or those in a position to support or further your aims are positively disposed toward you at this time. An important victory or success can be achieved. Tuesday, May 21, 2002 Ven Conj Jup Happiness and a desire to share your good fortune and joy with others is the theme now. You are feeling generous and expansive and are inclined to give lavish gifts or buy something lovely for yourself that is costly or extravagant. A diet or budget is likely to go out the window right now. As long as you don't overextend yourself, this is a good time to indulge your feelings of kindness towards others and also to be kind and indulgent to yourself. Wednesday, May 22, 2002 Jup Qucnx Ven Overly generous gifts, profuse sentimentality, cravings for beauty, luxury, or sensual delights, giving in to the temptation to overindulge, or a lack of moderation in romantic or financial affairs are all definitely indicated now. There will be tension within you over these issues, and you are apt to seesaw between immediate gratification and more long lasting benefits. Social events and festivities may be the scene of some embarrassment or awkwardness, also. Thursday, May 23, 2002 Ven Sesqu Nep Dreams, wishes, and fantasies about love are strong now, and you may be infatuated with someone you meet at this time, only to be disappointed later when you discover this person does not fulfill all of your expectations. You are simply not seeing people objectively now. Your imagination is very active and creative, however, and so is your yearning for something beautiful. The artist in you emerges, and your creations please and inspire you. Friday, May 24, 2002 Jup Trine Merc You will be exposed to new ideas and information during this time period. You are likely to be introduced to a subject area that you have little previous experience with. The information greatly expands your breadth of knowledge and is very beneficial to you. New ideas are likely to come to you via a number of different methods - classes, books, and discussions. You should take advantage of these opportunities to expand your mental horizons. You have the option to refuse the opportunity, but you would be foolish to do so as you will learn a great deal and it will be very enjoyable as well. You are receptive to new ideas at this time, and you also are able to see your life in a clear light. This is a good time to take stock of the general direction of your life and career and make decisions regarding any needed adjustments. Ven Sqr Moon The craving for sweetness and comfort in the form of loving affection or food is strong now. This is a good time to baby yourself and also to spend time with the people who love and appreciate you the most. Also, you are feeling rather tender and softhearted and may do something "maternal" on impulse (such as take home a stray kitten, offer to babysit, buy a gift for your family, etc.). Saturday, May 25, 2002 Moon SSxt Asc You seek out and receive assurance from family, old friends and allies, or even places, books, or objects from your past. A nostalgic mood is accented. Sunday, May 26, 2002 Sun Trine Moon At this time you enjoy emotional satisfaction and harmony in your home life. Relationships with women run smoothly. If you have a solid emotional base in your life, you will receive the benefits of that. If not, this is a good time to begin making connections with people and also to discover what gives real emotional nourishment and fulfillment. Monday, May 27, 2002 Mars Trine Sun Your vitality and self-confidence are high, and you can achieve your goals with much more ease than usual. You enjoy vigorous physical activities, competitive work or sports, and meeting challenges. You are inclined to strike out on your own and to assert your own will, but not in a way that creates resistance in others. Mars Sqr MC At this time your efforts to get ahead and advance your own interests are likely to be met with resistance or animosity. You seem overeager, pushy, inconsiderate, or too narrowly focused on your own objectives, so that you alienate the people who could help you. Try to do as much as you can on your own without trying to force others to agree with you or join you. Tuesday, May 28, 2002 Nep SSxt Sat A subtle, but significant, shift in the way you interact with others occurs at this time. You respond to others in a less rigid, stereotyped manner, and you become more aware of each individual's unique qualities and characteristics. Your intuition is clearer and your sensitivity to others is enhanced, so that you develop a greater ability to appreciate what others are feeling and desire. Even if you consider yourself to be very sensitive to others, you will still find that at this time you break down rigid attitudes, resistance, and limiting, negative, cynical, critical, prejudiced feelings about others. You can see beneath the surface of a person's appearances and mannerisms and be more sensitive to the inner qualities. This is a time of spiritual advancement and growth when you become more aware of the deeper ideals, dreams, and aspirations that have been guiding you and that guide the people you know. Wednesday, May 29, 2002 Merc Trine Moon It is easy for you to talk about your feelings now and also to listen sensitively to not only what others are saying but also what they are feeling. This is an excellent time to discuss your feelings and clear the air of any grievances you may be holding on to from the past. Your communication with women is especially good at this time. Ven Trine Sat This is an excellent time to make decisions about your financial affairs, as your judgment is sound and reliable, though a bit conservative. Investing in beautiful things which are likely to increase in value over time (such as jewelry or fine art) is favored. You are not interested in fleeting excitement or frivolity now. Spending "quality time" with an old and trusted friend or enjoying the company of an experienced, mature person who has much of substance to give you will make you happy. Thursday, May 30, 2002 Mars Conj Jup This is an excellent time to begin a new business enterprise or any new venture. You have the drive and courage to make your vision a reality. You feel great physically, and your confidence and optimism are high, so whatever you attempt now is likely to succeed. Friday, May 31, 2002 Ven Qucnx Mars Tensions in an intimate relationship make themselves felt now. You may feel out of sync with your partner, dissatisfied in a way that may be difficult to pinpoint and resolve. Most likely, you are pulled between pleasing your partner and expressing your own desires and needs. Your love rhythms are a bit off. This affects all your relationships but particularly those that are sexual in nature. In social settings, some awkwardness, inappropriate or excessive affection, or unwanted sexual advances are likely. Saturday, June 1, 2002 Sun Sqr Sat This is a time of considerable frustration and your desires or efforts appear to be thwarted or at least delayed. Relationships with men and people in authority may be particularly uncomfortable. Also, you have more self-doubt than usual; your mood is somber and rather self-critical. This is a good time to take stock of your life, to see how you are limiting and holding yourself back, and to determine your next steps. But do not attempt to press forward now, and don't take whatever setbacks you experience too much too heart. Sunday, June 2, 2002 Ven Trine Merc This is a good time to schedule social activities or even business meetings where tact and friendliness would be a plus. You act as a diplomat and harmonizer between people with differing viewpoints. Also, attending cultural events such as an art show or a play is favored. Thoughts of love, an appreciation for beauty, and an aesthetic enjoyment of your surroundings are brought to the fore. A short pleasure trip would also be beneficial now. Sat Sqr Plu Your personal aims, ambitions, and interests meet with unexpected obstacles at this time. Doors that you have been hoping would open are closing instead. The frustrations and obstacles can be deep enough to make you consider abandoning a pursuit or at least make very critical changes in your approach. Finances are tight now and others express little interest and enthusiasm for your ideas, so you have to be very resourceful. You may reach a kind of identity crisis as you question the value of your deepest ambitions. You may decide that you cannot get what you want out of life, but you would be foolish to give up completely on the things that you love! There are lessons to be learned and changes that are needed, but abandoning what you love due to obstacles alone is not a good enough reason. You must find more effective ways to reach your goals, cut out waste and excess, and more sincerely express your interests. Success in things of importance requires dedication and belief in oneself even when the going gets rough. You might find yourself getting into power struggles with others. You may try to force your will on others in an attempt to claim what you perceive as rightfully yours. Others may try to dominate and control you. If these problems occur, you need to take some time out from activities in order to think more deeply about your situation and gain a better grip on what is really important to you, and to better evaluate the situation. Monday, June 3, 2002 Mars Sesqu Nep This can be a very depleting and confusing time when you do not know exactly what you want or you do not feel strong, capable, or effective. Physically, you need to be gentle with yourself and take care not to dissipate your energy reserves. Your imagination can run wild now, and you want to act out a fantasy or strange desire - something you normally would have the good sense not to attempt. However, if you are an artist, this is a very inspired, fertile time for you. Tuesday, June 4, 2002 Sun Oppos Mars You are contentious, argumentative, and impatient now. Disagreements erupt because you aren't willing to overlook minor irritations as readily as usual. Confrontations with others may be fruitful if you don't allow your anger to get out of control. You are highly competitive at this time. Ven Sxtil Plu Your feelings for friends and your emotional responses to life in general are deeper and more intense. The need to share, to give and receive love, and to be accepted and wanted is very strong. You have an opportunity now to see what keeps you from being really close to others - perhaps a forgotten hurt or hidden resentment - and to rid yourself of it by bringing it out in the open or simply releasing it. Ven Sxtil Ura This is a time for getting a little loose and wild with friends, going dancing, or doing something out of the ordinary that is stimulating and fun. You meet interesting new people and are more open to people who are quite different from yourself. An opportunity for a romance may arise which is likely to be exciting, though short-lived. Mars Sqr Moon At this time you are prone to irritability, temper tantrums, and flying off the handle for slim reasons. You are also impatient and inclined to rush unnecessarily, which can cause accidents or bruised feelings on the part of the people you live with or work closely with. You are in a fighting mood and stand up for your rights more readily than usual, but beware of the tendency to be abrasive and insensitive. Sun Oppos Asc A significant personal encounter or confrontation occurs today. You cannot, and probably will not want to, be alone now. This is a time to reach out to people and to get others' input or counsel. Listen to your mate or a friend who can enlighten you at this time. Also, consulting a professional for health, business, or personal reasons will be very constructive and fruitful now. Sat Sqr Ura You encounter frustrations now that throw a wet blanket on your enthusiasm. You feel blocked and hemmed in. Your creative and original plans meet with opposition from conservative people, established rules, and societal norms. You are forced into finding new outlets for your creative ideas. You may have to abandon your approach to an activity and try a new angle. If you have been breaking the law in any way, you are likely to get caught now, whether it be for relatively minor offenses like driving faster than the speed limit or for more significant offenses like not fully reporting your taxes. Reckless behavior, such as drunken driving, is particularly likely to be squelched and disciplined at this time. However, illegal activities are not the only ones blocked at this time. Unfortunately, the things that excite you the most and that may have the noblest and most virtuous qualities are also frustrated. However, don't give up on things that are important to you just because they meet obstacles at this time. You may need to draw upon all of the patience, will power, and determination that you can muster to meet the obstacles you face, but wise actions now will build a stable foundation for you and enable you to have greater freedom in the future. The increased tension and stress that you experience now can be relieved through massage, stretching, or outdoor exercises. Maintain good health habits now as you can get very wired up and stressed. Wednesday, June 5, 2002 Ven Trine Nep At this time you are more sensitive to beauty and also to the feelings and needs of others. It is easy for you to give generously of yourself, for you sympathize strongly with other people and spiritual values are more important than material ones at this time. Sun Oppos Ven You are feeling particularly affectionate now and the company of your love partner or very close friends is important to you. This is not a time for solitary activity. Sharing, harmonizing, and love are the themes now. However, if you are not happy in your personal life, your problems may seem especially pressing at this time. Jup Sxtil Plu Cooperation with businesses, government agencies, organizations, and influential individuals is highlighted now. You will find that you can gain cooperation and support from authorities and bureaucracies that previously ignored your requests or advice. Organizations and influential people are also more willing to assist you in your personal plans and interests. You may be called upon to be a representative of an organization or to assume a leadership role at this time. If so, you will perform this function very successfully. Thursday, June 6, 2002 Moon Qucnx Nep A mysterious, dreamy, or hypersensitive mood comes over you. You may want to retreat from mundane life into some beautiful music, inspirational or escapist literature, or simply your own imagination. You are also gullible at this time and more responsive to atmospherics and subtle vibrations, which you might ignore or be oblivious to at other times. Perfume, incense, colors, lighting, etc. all have a more pronounced effect on you. You may have a temporary lapse in good judgment and common sense. Friday, June 7, 2002 Jup Sxtil Ura Your life is very upbeat and progressive now. You enjoy jovial, spirited get-togethers and parties, and you feel optimistic and enthusiastic. Associates, co-workers, and other businesses that you conduct business with are now ready and willing to talk to you about making progressive changes. Contracts or agreements signed at this time tend to be fortunate, although they do lead to progressive changes that make people who want to hold onto the status quo unhappy. You become very interested in progressive options in all phases of life, and you take an active interest in new ideas and inventions. You may also participate in social change which, perhaps surprisingly to you, is met with little resistance and considerable interest from the public. Saturday, June 8, 2002 Sun Sqr Plu Underlying or previously hidden aspects of a situation come to light now. The misuse of personal power, dominating or manipulating others, and the subtle ways you try to control situations or other people are issues. The tyrant in you comes out, or you find yourself dealing with the more difficult, dark, tyrannical side in other people. Also, this can be a time when you are forced to confront and deal with something which is no longer working - from old, outworn possessions to an unhealthy relationship or a deeply ingrained, self-defeating attitude. Sun Sqr Ura Your usual routine is likely to be disrupted now, either by "freak" accidents beyond your control or by your own impatience with the status quo. Sudden unexpected events and breaking free of confining situations and relationships are very likely. Sunday, June 9, 2002 Moon Qucnx Sun A minor emotional disequilibrium or feeling of being off-center is apt to disrupt your day. You are in a bit of a funk which, fortunately, is apt to be short-lived. However, major decisions or appointments are best postponed until you are feeling more balanced. Monday, June 10, 2002 Sun Qucnx Nep Vague feelings of weakness or a mysterious or unexplained illness and/or oversensitivity to chemicals, poisons, and pollutants can make this a challenging time. Your defenses are not as strong as usual which makes you susceptible to being overpowered by outside forces. Be gentle and don't expect too much of yourself right now. Intoxicants of any sort are best avoided at this time. Tuesday, June 11, 2002 Ven Sesqu Sat Withdrawing from emotional social contact is favored now, for even when you are with others you are likely to feel separate and alone. Sadness and disappointments in your personal life are also probable now. Inadequacies and flaws in your friends or lovers are particularly bothersome to you now, and you may feel that you have nearly exhausted your patience for dealing with these problems. It is a time to be quiet and to look objectively at how your relationships are going. Though not a pleasurable time, this can be a fruitful period in which to learn more about love and what you truly value. Wednesday, June 12, 2002 Jup Trine Nep You feel a little less ambitious and aggressive than usual, and your attention focuses more on global issues and philosophical topics. The little details of your life seem less important than the overall purpose of life and the ideals by which you live. You feel relaxed and somewhat detached from everyday activities as more abstract and idealistic concerns become more important to you. You are generous and compassionate and are likely to offer your services to charitable organizations. You may also donate money to those in need. There is a tendency to be lazy and lethargic. You can gain a lot of weight and get out of shape physically. If this occurs, you will find that an inspirational book or movie can motivate you. Thursday, June 13, 2002 Ven Sesqu Mars Tangles in romantic relationships are likely now. Your sexual drive is quite strong, and you may be more concerned with satisfying your own desires than in being sensitive to your partner. All interactions with people of the opposite sex are inclined to be tense right now. Friday, June 14, 2002 Ven Sqr Sun Your desire for pleasure, ease, and affection is brought to the fore and may interfere with work or complicated situations in which you need to be acting assertively and on your own behalf. Your mood and attitude is conciliatory, and your need for love and approval heightened. Social gatherings and personal relationships are favored. Mars Trine Sat Your concentration is excellent now and you are serious about your work. You want to focus on real accomplishment and avoid frivolity and distractions. You may fruitfully tackle difficult, disagreeable tasks or work that usually frustrates you, for your patience and ability to do painstaking work is brought out now. Self-control and self-discipline are required of you at this time but, fortunately, they yield positive results in the long run. Ven Sxtil MC Meeting people that can benefit your career, getting together with colleagues, or getting to know your superiors on a more personal, friendly basis is quite likely at this time. Take advantage of all opportunities to socialize with the people you have professional ties with for the outcome is likely to be quite positive. Saturday, June 15, 2002 Ven SSxt Jup Both friendship and material benefits may well come to you at this time. You feel very sociable and gregarious and seek conviviality, especially with people who really know how to have a good time. Charitable and philanthropic impulses are stronger now, also, and should be followed with positive action on your part. Sunday, June 16, 2002 Moon Sxtil Sun Social relationships, friendships, and supportive alliances are strengthened now. Your energy and confidence are high and you can accomplish much in a harmonious, flowing manner right now. Monday, June 17, 2002 Mars Qucnx Mars A sudden accident, trauma, violent outburst, or fever are possibilities now. If you have been withholding any animosity, not taking what you need for yourself, or been in any sort of ongoing battle with another, the stress is likely to become unbearable. You also tend to force yourself unmercifully now, which will backfire. You might sustain injuries in a competitive situation or "burn out". Tuesday, June 18, 2002 Merc Trine Moon It is easy for you to talk about your feelings now and also to listen sensitively to not only what others are saying but also what they are feeling. This is an excellent time to discuss your feelings and clear the air of any grievances you may be holding on to from the past. Your communication with women is especially good at this time. Ven Sxtil Moon This is an excellent time to have company or to give a party at your home. You are feeling hospitable and loving and need to share comfort and affection with close friends and family. Home improvements or beautifying your surroundings in some way is also favored now. Wednesday, June 19, 2002 Mars Qucnx Ven Ambivalence or disagreeableness in a close relationship arises now. An old friend or lover who is rather disturbing to your peace of mind may contact you, or you may feel uncertain about where you are going in a particular relationship. You may aggravate or pick at a friend or loved one in the misguided belief that you can change things. At this point, however, it is unlikely that your words or actions will create happiness or the desired outcome. Try to be good natured about any differences that are apparent to you now, and let it pass. Thursday, June 20, 2002 Mars Trine Merc You speak very clearly, convincingly, and forcefully now, so that there is no mistaking what your views and opinions are. You can argue a good case, make a very persuasive presentation, or successfully challenge someone whose ideas do not agree with your own. Your mind is sharp and your responses quick. This is a very good time to take a test or to do any kind of intellectual or mental work. Sun Trine Sun Confidence and inner harmony prevail. You can move forward with creative projects and express yourself more easily and comfortably now. Your efforts are well received at this time. Sun Sqr MC You are at cross purposes with the people in your environment who are most able to benefit you. You tend to come on too strong, to be oblivious to others' needs and intentions, or to act inappropriately now. You feel an urgency to take positive steps to achieve your goals, but be certain that you are not overstepping yourself, as this can cause considerable enmity at this time. Friday, June 21, 2002 Sun Sesqu Merc A fast pace, with many letters, phone calls, errands, meetings, or discussions, is on the agenda. You may feel mentally restless, impatient, and overly eager to get your own ideas across. Also, a situation may arise which requires you to say what is on your mind, to make a decision, or to clearly voice your personal opinion on some issue. Saturday, June 22, 2002 Sun Conj Jup You feel expansive, enthusiastic, and optimistic now. You want to reach out, do more and experience more. You benefit greatly from the opportunities that present themselves at this time, and a person who will be very influential and helpful to you may come into your life. Sunday, June 23, 2002 Moon Sqr Sat Duties and obligations seem burdensome or at least emotionally restricting to you, and you may feel self-pity or temporarily down in the dumps. You are not in a sociable, gregarious mood no matter what surroundings you find yourself in. Monday, June 24, 2002 Mars Sxtil Plu You may be considering a major overhaul or revision in your ambitions at this time. If you do not have a sense of meaningful purpose or a passionate commitment to anything, you will want to reassess where you are going and why. If you do have a clear goal, you can make significant progress and work with great satisfaction now. An opportunity to do what you really want to do is likely. Mars Sxtil Ura Physical thrills and excitement have a strong appeal for you now, and you want to do something new and out of the ordinary. You also have a lot of energy and quick reflexes. A vigorous game of racquetball or tennis or some other fast-moving competitive sport would be a good outlet for you now. Acting on your spontaneous impulses and following through on some of your more unusual or "crazy" desires will yield surprises, mostly positive. Merc Sqr Sat Your thinking is rather gloomy and pessimistic at this time. You see the superficiality, the flaws, and the foolishness or impracticality in others' plans. Also, communicating with others is difficult now, and people resist what you are saying. You feel more inhibited and uncommunicative, and you sense that others are not receptive. Frustrating conversations and the feeling that you are coming across negatively are possible now, so you are inclined simply to keep your thoughts to yourself. Tuesday, June 25, 2002 Sun Sesqu Nep Confusion, inability to focus on mundane tasks, poor understanding or miscommunication between yourself and others, and the desire to evade real responsibilities and challenges are negative potentials for you now. You are more sensitive, impressionable, dreamy, or idealistic at this time also. Wednesday, June 26, 2002 Ven Trine Mars You feel quite amorous and affectionate now and will very much want to share this time with someone you love or at least with congenial company. Your creative or artistic inclinations are also stimulated, and your work in these areas will be especially satisfying and successful at this time. Mars Trine Nep You do not feel very sharp, competitive, or aggressive at this time. Feelings of relaxation, receptivity, passivity, or aimlessness are likely and you tend to avoid stressful confrontations or situations that demand too much of you. Goals and desires that normally seem so important - especially ones in which you are pushing your own interests - do not matter quite as much now. Your imagination is stimulated, and you need activities and entertainments that are colorful, out of the ordinary, and definitely not mundane. Sun Sqr Moon Tension in your home life, conflicts between work demands and personal needs, or unresolved emotional tangles are likely to arise now, necessitating adjustments and compromises on your part. A side of you which is usually hidden or in the background is likely to emerge now, and this may be positive or negative. Merc Oppos Mars You are very impulsive and restless now and you are likely to act or speak too quickly without sufficient forethought or concern for the consequences. You tend to be verbally aggressive, starting fights with people who don't agree with you or who simply get in your way. Positively, you are very sharp and clear mentally at this time and can attack problems and tasks with great vigor. Ven Trine Asc At this time you are inclined to invest your time and money into making your environment more beautiful and comfortable. You may also wish to enhance your personal appearance in some way, such as getting a new hair style or purchasing clothing, cosmetics, and the like. Social gatherings are also very positive for you now. Thursday, June 27, 2002 Merc Oppos Asc Conversations with your partners and friends are critical now. This is a time for you to really listen and learn from others. If there is some matter you are concerned with, now is an excellent time to consult a professional or even a good friend that can give helpful feedback. You need other people's ideas and opinions now. Ven Trine Ven Contentment, emotional well-being, and harmony prevail in your personal relationships. At this time you relax and indulge in your pleasure-loving side. Unless other astrological indications override this influence, you are unlikely to be forceful and try to make things happen, but instead are inclined to flow along with people and situations, attracting what you need and letting the world come to you. Ven Sqr Merc Your thoughts turn to love and this is a favorable time to bring out any concerns you have in your personal relationships. Agreements and cooperation can be achieved easily now. You readily discuss your personal needs and desires. Also, you are more aware of beauty and may want to rearrange your decor or buy something to beautify your surroundings. Merc Oppos Ven This is a favorable time to take a short vacation or pleasure trip, especially to visit people you really enjoy. The tone of this time is light, friendly, and easy. Positive connections are made with others, and you may meet a new friend. You may also want to call or write someone you love, simply to cheer them up or tell them you love them. Friday, June 28, 2002 Ven SSqr Jup This is a time when it is difficult to stay within a budget or on a diet, as your tendency is to splurge on beautiful things and to enjoy yourself as much as possible. You want comfort and ease and have luxurious tastes. Quality is especially important to you right now. Also, you want to share whatever good fortune you have. You need company and happy fellowship. It's a good time for a party, as long as you don't overdo it. Saturday, June 29, 2002 Merc Sqr Plu It is impossible for you to be content with superficial answers now, and you are impatient with people who avoid looking candidly and honestly at root causes and hidden reasons for any problem or situation. You tend to force your views on other people now. Also, you can become obsessed with an idea or problem until you have figured it out. Sunday, June 30, 2002 Merc Sqr Ura Flexibility, thinking on your feet, and the ability to accommodate the unexpected will be called for now. The pace is very quick. You will be pulled in many directions at once and will tend to scatter your forces, jumping from one thing to the next. Positively, you may come up with some fresh, original plan or insight that may seem crazy at first, but which is likely to be quite useful. Monday, July 1, 2002 Ven Sqr Nep Dreams, wishes, and fantasies about love are strong now, and you may be infatuated with someone you meet at this time, only to be disappointed later when you discover this person does not fulfill all of your expectations. You are simply not seeing people objectively now. Your imagination is very active and creative, however, and so is your yearning for something beautiful. The artist in you emerges, and your creations please and inspire you. Tuesday, July 2, 2002 Moon Sesqu Nep Imagination, fantasy, and the desire to escape the immediate environment are stimulated. Dreaminess, nostalgia, or moodiness may be hard to resist. Wednesday, July 3, 2002 Sun Trine Sat Today it is easy for you to concentrate on your work, to eliminate what is superfluous or distracting you from what you really need to do. You have the self-control and discipline to apply yourself to tasks that you may have been avoiding. You want to put your affairs in order and have a greater tolerance for tedium than usual. This is a good time to tackle mundane chores and practical business. Thursday, July 4, 2002 Moon SSqr Sat Duties and obligations seem burdensome or at least emotionally restricting to you, and you may feel self-pity or temporarily down in the dumps. You are not in a sociable, gregarious mood no matter what surroundings you find yourself in. Friday, July 5, 2002 Sun Qucnx Mars You are more prone to vexation and aggravation right now, especially in traffic or in some area of your life that you are trying to get ahead in. Accidents due to trying to force a situation, ignoring safety precautions, hurrying, or anger need to be guarded against. You are apt to feel that you have no outlets or means of expressing your anger or aggressive impulses, and right now that is probably true. Standing your ground and insisting upon your rights or your position only leads to unnecessary friction and bad blood, with no clear winner or loser emerging. Either transcending or letting go of your frustration is really the only way out at this time. Saturday, July 6, 2002 Merc Trine Sun You are very clear and perceptive now. It's a good time to make a decision or come to an agreement, negotiate, exchange your views with others, or present your case. If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communication, this is a very productive time for you. Ideas flow, and you express your thoughts well. Sunday, July 7, 2002 Merc Sqr MC This is a time for you to speak out about your thoughts or concerns regarding your work or professional matters. Communication with your superiors or with people in authority who are in a position to consider and act on your ideas comes to the fore now. Sun Trine Merc If you are a writer, teacher or student or are involved in any intellectual work, this is a positive time for you: ideas flow and it is easier than |
