Weekly Fortunes


CAPRICORN
Your deepest desires that you whisper under the light of the full moon can come true. Just be careful what you wish for!
Remember to pray for the unadopted dogs at the pound who are on death row. Donate time or money to a local animal shelter. Take time for the wildflowers.

AQUARIUS
Remember that booklist you made? Have you read any of the books yet? You underestimate someone. You might realize it too late.

PISCES
Understand the power of the moon. Harness all energy into something productive. Remember those nights on her roof under the moon making the midnight dinner? It was long ago but it can still inspire you.

ARIES
Underneath it all you long to do the right thing. Don't forget not to take silly egos too seriously. Laugh in the face of foolish pride. Daffodils for the table can brighten any meal.

TAURUS
Recharge. Don't be so sensitive. Be strong. Be there for them. Remember when you needed them? They were there for you.

GEMINI
Don't keep your distance. Don't play silly games. Do treat yourself like royalty. Do treat your loved ones like royalty too.

CANCER
Uncover that treasure within you. Full moons make great light to unearth your hidden or suppressed desires by. Watch out sunshine, here comes a heart of gold!

LEO
You have so much good to share with the world. You are very loved. Do the little things that please you this week. Make your home a haven from work. An orchid makes any space more lovely.

Don't give in to the dark side of the moon. A full moon is all about light. Find your inner light and follow it to the bright side. It is hard to go forward while looking in your rearview mirror. Head straight ahead into the future. Let the stars lead the way.

SCORPIO
Full moons are supposedly when werewolves take wolf form. I don't know about that, but I do know that the connection to the moon is something all creatures share. Let the full moon connect you to all living things. Take a moment or too to imagine yourself a deer in the forest, a rabbit in the bramble or a kitten dumped by the side of the road. Be a witness for the plight of all the creatures of the earth.

SAGITTARIUS
Tis the season of rebirth! You have been through the darkest season to find the softest morning light of Spring. Spring clean your body and soul and relationships. Spring is the blank canvas of the year. Make your first strokes of the brush in the right direction.

Weekly Fortunes (we are the lucky ones this week)


CAPRICORN
Oh my darlin, oh my darlin, oh my darlin Capricorn... you aren't lost and confusion doesn't last forever. You are approaching a rest stop called CLARITY. Enjoy it. While you are there throw negativity in the garbage and invite gratitude to hit the open road with you. It is gratitude that will cool your shins and warm your toes this week.

AQUARIUS
You can't get them if you don't understand them and you'll never understand them as long as you trick yourself into thinking you do. Smug isn't a good look for anyone my dear not even you. Free your mind and the truth will follow.

PISCES
Do you find yourself missing winter before it even leaves you? Do you find yourself wishing for Spring even when you already have it? Appreciate everything and remember "ashes to ashes" so you might as well make that leap of faith.

ARIES
What is your true achilles heel? It probably isn't what others think it is. How can you turn your tragic flaw around? Make it into something positive. Indulge your imagination.

TAURUS
Find your inspiration this week in simple amazing things: lemonade, ponytails, chandeliers. Take to the streets. There is a story around every corner.

You know better than to try and shove your heart shaped box into a little square hole, don't you? The right fit is out there and when you find it there won't be any shoving involved.

CANCER
Research ancestors you never knew but are part of you this week. If you are adopted consider learning more about your biology. If you aren't adopted I'm sure there is a grandparent or aunt or uncle or great-great someone you could learn about. All those ancestral angels are rooting for you. It is amazing how much we can miss someone we never knew. And don't forget that you can learn a lot by questioning your living family members too.

LEO
Revisit your New Year's resolutions. You are really sweet to them and they love you for it!

VIRGO
Remember that movie about Marla Olstead the child artist who rose in fame and then fell and then rose up again? If she can rise up above the haters at four years old you certainly can do it now!

LIBRA
Purge yourself of evil thoughts. Pray for your enemies. Pray for yourself. Pray for the animals in cages at the pound, days away from euthanasia, pray for the ones with that look in their eyes, the ones who know. Didn't God hold your hand back then? Don't spit on his creations. Remember to make a wish at 11:11 each night.

SCORPIO
You can learn a lot from Frank Sinatra this week. Stand up for yourself but not to the point of stooping to their level. Do it your way and shine on!

SAGITTARIUS
No one would call you mousy, but sometimes you feel like a mouse in a tiger's body and sometimes you feel like a tiger in a mouse's body. Sometimes you even feel like you. Cover your body in flowers - if only in your dreams.

Weekend Tarot


I'm doing the weekend tarot early this week. I usually do it on Friday but I'm not sure I'll have time this Friday. Happy Birthday Jack Kerouac! Jack's birthday is March 12th. He is a fellow Pisces and I have always considered him a kindred soul. Maybe this spring we should each consider rereading our favorite Kerouac books. Here are three of my favorite Kerouac quotes:
“I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.”
“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”
“Maybe that's what life is...a wink of the eye and winking stars.”

March Monthly Horoscopes! (It's about time!)



CAPRICORN
This month consider planting seeds that you will see the fruits of this summer. Remember that you reap what you sow. If you sow seeds with bad intentions that might be hurtful to any one else you will end up hurting yourself. It is the simple law of karma. I have faith though Capricorn that you will plant the seeds with right intentions that will bloom into beautiful fruits.

AQUARIUS
Have you ever considered getting hair extensions? Have you ever considered wearing red shoes? Have you ever considered getting a Marilyn piercing? This month you should alter your style slightly toward things you have always wanted to try but have not dared to. I dare you!

PISCES
Reach out to those in need but remember you have to meet your own needs first before you can help any one else. This month, your birthday month, the stars are aligned in your favor. Don't let this cosmic opportunity pass you by. Things you attempt this month have a strong chance of success.

ARIES
Why do groups of friends always indulge in backstabbing? Is it human nature? Can it be helped? This month be careful not to contribute to gossip. Lead the way to the high road in your group of friends. This month, if you can't say something nice about someone really don't say a word about them.

TAURUS
You need to find a worthwhile way to spend your free time. Declutter your mind this month. Free your mind from imaginary competition and jealousy with others. March should be a month of renewal for you Taurus.

GEMINI
When you close your eyes what is the first thing you see? Make that your focus this month. If you see something that worries you, resolve to do what it takes this month to change it or move on from it. If when you close your eyes you see something that brings you joy and comfort, go toward that and give thanks for it on a daily basis.

CANCER
Donate. Volunteer. Recycle. Renew. Do your Spring cleaning this month. Spring clean your body, house, relationships and mind.

LEO
Why do you think Shakespeare is so timeless? I think it is because his subjects are the vital stuff: love and death. He never wastes our time with petty stuff os with mocking others. Follow Shakespeare's lead this month. Forget the petty stuff and focus on the big issues this month. Get your love right. Get your life right. Forget the rest.

VIRGO
Catch up with your relatives this month. Make family the focus this month. Resolve conflicts without alienating yourself or anyone else.

LIBRA
Have you been keeping up with your New Year's resolutions? Refresh your resolutions this month. Remember that the people who care about you want you to be happy and do the right thing. Of course you should do the right thing for yourself but at those dark moments when you aren't enough do the right thing because you owe it to the people who raised you to be good and remember how loved and lucky you are.

SCORPIO
Don't give in to pressure this month. Sometimes people try to get you to sell out because they sold out and sell outs love company. Be strong.

SAGITTARIUS
Be independent but remember that compromising with your partner doesn't mean that you are giving up independence. Oddly enough ometimes independence involves someone you love. Get in touch with your earthy side this month. Spend as much time in the fresh air as possible. Can you feel Spring coming?
