Today I Start my Life Anew...
Surely this is NOT a chart for 'beginners'... Those words do not mean what they sound like... I mean that in the sense that you have to be much more aware of what is going on, and the meaning behind it before rushing to take action or to pass judgments... Trackin' with me on this?

We have Sun ☉, Mercury ☿, Venus ♀ and Uranus ♅ all aligned in the early degrees of Taurus ♉ today... While this can be fantastic energy... There are cautions that need to be carefully considered... Work with me on this...

When Venus is in Taurus, (it's home sign) it's focus is on 'what is in it for me'... Or perhaps it is better to say 'this is a time when I have to look out for myself and put my own concerns first for a change'... In reality, there is nothing wrong with that... But there is more to the story... When you add in the influences of other planets... That is where it gets a bit 'dicey'... I'll spare you the 'astro-babble' explanations and get right to 'the heart of the matter'....

You need to be very careful because when everybody is so focused on 'getting what they want'... (or think what they want)... It is when others can become 'adversaries' in their minds... (just sayin')... Attempts at cooperation can appear as 'competition'... Where you are likely to encounter situations where others try to pull you into an argument just to 'justify' some of their own actions... (hope that makes sense)... This is especially true in the 'career and workplace' settings... Almost like a mini-paranoia of sorts... Still with me on this?...

The solution is simple... It is to remain 'cool, calm and collected' and refuse to have to 'justify' or 'defend' yourself if/should others try to 'blame you' for their own failures or errors... It's also about refusing to become 'emotionally attached' too, as this is a time that requires solid and calm logic and reason (Mercury & Uranus)... A time to let others talk, and when you speak... Just speak simple verifiable facts... Do not let it get personal, especially if YOU are the one that feels slighted or have been taken advantage of... Gotta let this time-line play out on it's own but to do so with style, class and dignity.

Just understanding this energy can spare you all kinds of hardships and aggravation in the future... In a way, it's about protecting others from themselves by not engaging in debates or topics that in reality will prove to be non-important later on... Most of the time, it is just when 'good people' are just looking for a 'target' to vent their inner frustrations upon. (Sun and Venus)... Be Smart!!!

That's it for now... I'll talk to you guys tomorrow...

Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

The daily horoscope for Capricorn has it's focus on the need for good communication today... That doesn't mean just 'saying the right words' but also making sure that others completely understand the meaning behind those words... The same applies when you may be goofin' around... You have to make it clear (by saying) when you may be joking or goofing.

...Show some Love...
