Today I Start my Life Anew...
So often, the lure of astrology is that the planetary positions are going to determine the outcomes of out lives... But that is not the real truth... The planetary positions create the 'vibe' but it is our own attitude and actions that determine the outcome... (fact, deal with it)... hehe... I 'Spose that is what makes our lifetimes so spectacular is that we always have the 'free-choice' to rise above and transform our lives.

Waiting for Instructions...
That is the way so many will feel this energy... Almost like they are 'stuck between two worlds'... And in a way, that is what the chart is showing... Saturn aligned with Pluto is potent enough on it's own... But then on the opposite side of the chart is Mercury, Venus and the North Node wanting to do everything 'their way'... Very much like children who might know their parents are 'right' but still act in a defiant kind of way... But behind the scenes, the real deal is that everybody will feel like they are waiting for some kind of sign, signal or instruction about where to go or what to do next.

We see this now-days in the cultural divide between people... Where it is presented as an 'us against them' struggle... But in reality, we are all just cells of the same overall body all really looking for the same things... Trackin' within me on this?... Yeah, we may have different views of how to do things, but at the end of the day we all want what is best for ourselves, our families and those we love and cherish... The (Saturn/Pluto) energy that wants to rebel against authority but that means presenting clear-cut answers and solutions... Tearing the system down without a better model is insanity... It's all about getting to the real truth and the real 'heart of the matter'.

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' real soon...

Note:
The Song of the Week is one of all time favorite songs...
In my view, from a man's perspective... This is the perfect, truest and honest love songs ever written... Being vulnerable... Knowing it and accepting it even if or when you really don't understand it... The words may not make sense... They don't have to... Because there are times when there are no real words to 'Splain how deeply you feel or why you do... Or not being able to really know or rationalize how you feel... Like being helpless like a child with some kind of strange magic hangin' over you... It's a surrender to something that you know is more important than your own concerns... Where another person could be more valuable to you than all the gold, silver or diamonds in the world... That is real life and that is the real magic of love.

The weekly horoscope for Leo has that classic 'James Brown' quality of 'Poppa don't take no mess' to it... hehe... This is the kind of chart that brings out your inner-strength and determination... (can make you a bit aggressive if you let it go too far)... The idea with this chart is that you need to have a list of tasks and projects to focus on... When you find that groove, there is nothing that can hold back your success... And make no mistake, all those planets on your Ascendant is causing the attention of others to be locked onto you.

...Show some Love...
