Today I Start my Life Anew...

Like nearly every person that begins to study astrology follows the same pattern... There is a desire to be able to 'slant' the odds in your favor... (human nature)... Students look for 'easy formulas' to 'determine what is going to happen'... (A + B = C)... But it doesn't work that way in 'real life'.

In order to read a chart, you've got to read the 'entire chart' as a whole... That is the most important and most difficult part to learn... Like today, we have Venus conjunct (joined) with Mars in Leo... You would think this energy would be all 'lovey-dovey' but when you factor in that Uranus is tryin' to create chaos and division the vibe turns more to that of conflict.

Then, add in that Jupiter is connected to Mercury and that bring in the element of exaggeration... This isn't 'deception' but more that the information shared is based more on emotions than on solid facts and realities... (wishful thinking)... So often promises and statements are made based on 'hopes and dreams' and/or mis-interpreted as a result.

Ok... 'Nuff 'bout that...
What looks like a very 'elegant' and easy-goin' chart has some real fire and intensity that people are feelin' at the deeper levels... Tons of conflicts that result from hearing two or more different versions of 'truth' and not knowing which version to believe... (if any)... You guys know the drill... And all this is amplified by Saturn connected to the North Node which indicates that there is more to the story than we realize and that 'fate and destiny' are very active and will ultimately determine how the events will play out.

With a chart like this, it would not be wise to make 'assumptions' or to automatically accept the information we are provided with... I am not suggesting people paranoid or jerky... hehe... I am sayin' to listen to what is being said, but to give it time to determine if it is accurate or not... I saw this big McDonalds Billboard with a 'chicken sammich' and a big $1... Had to look close to see that the $1 was for the 'drink'... Very subliminal.

So this is a week where we've got to stay sharp and not allow ourselves to become too not to be complacent... Astrology is as much the 'study of history' as it is about the 'stars and planets'... And there are many repetitive themes that are currently active... History has a way of repeating itself.

That's it for now... I'll talk to you guys in the Daily 'Scopes...

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

The weekly horoscope for Cancer has a chart this week that makes it very easy to take the 'path of least resistance'... However, the key to the Cancer chart is to pay very close attention to the (verifiable) facts and figures... You'll find that is the 'little details' that will make all the difference in the world in the near future... (just sayin')... This is great energy in terms of relationships with others, but it's main focus is on being more self-reliant!!

...Show some Love...
