Happy Birthday to Aunt Colleen, who threatened bodily harm and withholding all future potato soup if I didn't wish her one in the scope. The former, I could emotionally live with; the second, notsomuch. She carries the Aries ferocity within her, and you don't mess with her. So I'm glad she's on my side. Happy Birthday again.

We're going to have more of that "bottled up" feeling pervading through the charts for the next couple weeks. It'll start off with lesser intensity now, though that will gradually grow in the days ahead. People are going to want to do things, and given the current climate, there's not going to be a lot of opportunity to do so. It becomes one of those challenges where you look for new or inventive ways to channel your energy.

As you look to do this yourself, it's important that you're going about things the right way. The chart does signify we're prone to impulsive types of actions at times, but that's when people will tend to get burned. Just look at the things you come across now and see how often "karma" seems to get its way. That's a more negative perspective, but the flipside is also true. The people out there looking for ways to make improvements and better the world around them will capture a lot of attention now. It's those breakthroughs that stand to elevate them. You can be among those people if you're continually working on things and making solid decisions in the best interest of everyone you're around.

So while the world's present situation is what it is, it's still just a lens through which the greater energy shines and transforms the world around us. You can be a conduit for change however you see fit, but viewing things from the collective perspective will win out over more selfish aims. Those choices are yours to make though, so choose wisely. Best of luck.

You can have a lot of focus on your finances here, and that's going to weigh on a lot of the decisions you have to make. When you look at things through a futuristic lens, you can routinely start to get antsy about the potential that you might be missing out on things. That's why it's important to keep one eye on the present. Don't worry about committing resources to things that aren't rock solid yet, and focus mostly on making sure that your needs are met. There will be time to chase after more luxurious things later.

...Show some Love...
