Bonne Jour ! L Newman from Wake Up Call With Your Astrological
Forecast for the Week of February 21st
Aries: Congratulations darlin’ you are half way done with your present stress cycle. Stress cycle doesn’t mean you have to be stressed, it simply means that you cannot afford to fritter away your energy on foolishness since there is much business to be done. In truth this is a time of great accomplishments for you, since the Universe has offered you just enough resistance to keep your priorities straight. The rhythm of your heartsong in this busy cycle is somewhere between
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and a hot Salsa number. What you will discover this week is that your mind moves as fast as your footwork. Since you have been nudged into being a responder rather than an initiator for a while now, you are finding gifts of adapability you didn’t know you had. So when the Karmic material of life hits the rotary oscillator, your response to the situation will be totally intuitive and flawless. How cool is that ?
Taurus: Even though you are not the most outspoken person on the planet, this is a week where you will express a lot. Plus, you get to do it in true Gemini fashion,
with humour. Not a lot of people realize that you have a very wry sense of humour. Since you save your best material for the people closest to you, they will
laugh at your short retorts until milk comes out of their noses. Even if they weren’t drinking milk! The thing is, you may leave them laughing, but after they wipe away the tears, others will realize that you said enough to keep them thinking for the next 6 months. Which is good because by then, you will be ready
to chat again. You are a very deep thinker, Earth deep actually and anyone who has misconstrued your silence for not being involved is in for an education from you this week. If the rule is school or be taught, you will be doing the schooling of others, and those funny and meaningful lessons will assist them in changing their lifepaths.
Gemini: Time is an illusion. It disappears when you are enjoying the company of your sacred family, and it hangs heavy when you are sitting in the Dentists’s waiting room with a throbbing tooth. No matter how well you plan, organize and cross reference your days, things will happen in their own good time. With Mars being temporarily difficult, now is the time to choose to embrace the Universal Intelligence and it’s cyclical order of sorts. Take out today’s “to do” list and see how many of those items have been carried over far too long. Now here’s the fun part. Take that list and rewrite it in reverse order. As the last becomes the first
you will gain a whole new perspective of your goals and challenges. Very likely the items on the bottom of the list were projects that you had planned to do for yourself. Talk about self discovery ! You are far too much of a social butterfly to ever be self involved but, this week a wee bit of self awareness will bring a blinding view of your responsibilities and reactions.
Cancer: Bono has an album entitled No Line on The Horizon. It was inspired by the fact that he lives on the Ocean and when he looks out the window, between the bright blue sky and the clear Ocean there is no line of demarcation. This is your week to view life from just that perspective. Even seemingly mindless chat will turn into philosophical studies. This is an accelerated learning curve for your Spiritual growth, as every incident or person you see will awaken deep personal
insights. There is a healing grace that occurs when you realize that life is never pass or fail, people are neither right nor wrong. Everyone is perfect for where they need to be at this moment of their personal evolution. Looking back over past experiences that you might have considered failures, you can see that life is always a success in one way or another. A teacher of mine found and lost the love of her life in a few years time. When others wanted to comfort her or talk about how sad it was she refused to be a victim. She simply said, “ As a marriage it was a total success in “what not to do.” She is stronger and wiser for the journey and this week you can see that in yourself. Acceptance is a key to empowerment.
Leo: Just when you thought you would be stuck dancing in the chorus for the rest of your days, the Diva slips on a wad of chewing gum and Yikes…you are right there in the spotlight, floating through the solo of your dreams. Yep you never know what camera may be on you this week, so it is of necessity to dress for success. Granted big boy pants and big girl shoes aren’t always comfy, but admit it, nobody cleans up as purty as a Leo. Not only will your performance be flawless, but the people who people it will have powerful connections. How great is that, to have a big fun time and build symbiotic relationships that are born of joy. Consciousness seeks the same level, just like water. When you live from your heartsong, you call in equally empowered and passionate individuals as you are.
That’ll keep you dancing fer sure !
Virgo: How are you dealing with your new found popularity ? So many people are being drawn to your common sense techniques that you might want to make a worksheet, that could grow into a book in short time. This cycle calls for you to teach others how to simplify and organize their lives. The only tricky point is that when it comes to being organized, some of us are ADHD. Sure we mean to put things back where they belong, but hey the phone rang and the cat wanted fresh food and the mail came and there’s all those coupons and then something shiney went by and…..ooops sorry where the heck did I sit the phone down and I sure hope it isn’t on vibrate. Yep, your common sense is an ability with which you were born. You can’t really teach it, you can only lead by example and accept that for some of us who are lesser grounded, you may want to leave a trail of sticky notes, M&M’s and a little something that sparkles.
Libra: This is an excellent people watching week for you. As you watch from the sidelines the games that people play, you will discover the inner truth of really empowered individuals. Powerful people never have to prove it. Their responses to life experiences proves that they know the difference between being assertive and aggressive. Assertive people walk with a powerful calm. They speak directly and softly. They look you in the eye and help you discover the simplest and most honest way to deal with life’s situations and conditions. Aggressive people tend to speak waaay to loudly and poke you in the chest to make their point. Makesya want to bite their finger at best. Aggressive folks are looking for a reason to fight. Assertive people find a peaceful, and fair (your watchword) resolution that works well for everyone involved. As you see this drama unfold around you, there may be a few surprises when it comes to people who seemed to be authority figures. A century ago when I was Ordained the first time, the Bishop told me, “ You are now Reverend Newman, and if your ego needs it, you’ll never be it.”
Scorpio: You are enjoying a new kind of quietude this week. Not only are able to stay centered in the vortex of life’s poo storms. You will discover that it takes very little effort from you to restore order. Generally only those who truly know you, not those who think they do, have any realization that your Clint Eastwood cool can sometimes come at a price. Once the crisis is over, the mess is cleaned up and everyone goes home, you find yourself alone in the loo, screaming into the towels, “Great googly moogly, I can’t believe what just happened.” That is not the case this week as you can readily see that you have more than whatever it takes to keep things on an even keel, regardless of storm conditions. Now comes the beauty part, the calm after the storm. Okay, after the fact, you may need an aspirin and a Red Bull, but add a little fine chocolate and you have all the food groups.
Sagittarius: I know you hate hearing this but, less is more. With Jupiter the Great as your Ruling planet, your tendency to overdue is in your preprogrammed into your DNA. Add a little Mars with his present attitude and you could end up baked as well as fried. You must remember not to allow your good intentions to nuke your schedule and your energy level. Pushing through this transit is like a fast food meal, it doesn’t feed you much and in a short time you forget what it was altogether ( except for the greasy after taste.) It is true that when you race through a life experience you truly don’t allow yourself ample time to process it. That’s why so often people find themselves dealing with the same dilemma in a new suit of person. Ease up on yourself and your expectations and you will realize that Retrograde Mars isn’t trying to damage but, rather to slow you
down just enough to consider why you are doing things and in what fashion.
Some of the things that fall by the wayside in sucha busy time will most likely never come back, and the understanding you glean is that they were never integral to your overall wellness. Why fritter away your Wellness when it is sucha precious commodity. Now is the time to stay za zen.
Capricorn: You have a tendency to make yourself earn whatever it is you want.
While I applaud your work ethic, which is an amazing thing, now is the time for play. Small simple rewards can be more valuable and refreshing for you than a 2 week vacation ( where you have to loose your phone or work will be calling every day.) Promise yourself ( and me) that you won’t eat at your desk, even if it means you sit in the car and play your favourite music while you munch. The time spent musing along with your magickal child self can keep your dreams alive and your creativity blooming. The demands on your time may not lessen, but with a renewed refreshed perspective you will have a bottomless well of ideas and concepts. Concepts should be your focus. When you are conceiving you have to be gentle with yourself. So gender non specific, consider yourself infanticipating this week. Figuratively if not literally, your future is pregnant with promise and now is the first phase of that birthing.
Aquarius: Though you always have and always will be a cosmic social worker, this is the week to lighten your caseload. Old projects will turn up and demand immediate/if not sooner attention, and the next thing ya know, there goes your schedule. One of my clients had a hubby who was incredibly good at not finishing things. He would always say he would get “around to it.” One day his frustrated wifey made a great big sign and duct taped it to his recliner. It was a large red circle with a 2/IT in the middle. She waited for him to head for the living room and leapt out to inform him that he “Now had his round to it.” This is your round to it week. While it may seem like little niggling minutae, these teensy projects will offer a great sense of accomplishment once they are completed. The really beautiful part is when you see the story all the way to the end. Empty and be filled is the Law of the Universe. Get rid of those little undone deals and make room for even better opportunities in the near future. In the interim, make no promises, offer no favours and keep your karmic slate clean.
Pisces: Happy Birthday Honey! Granted, you won’t be tardy for the party but please remember that celebration doesn’t have touse you up. With Jupiter and Venus in your Sun Sign, you may find a spare pile of money, or maybe your credit card raises your limit, or perhaps it’s more money due to financial atrophy, like the day you pay off the Yugo. Whatever good fortune finds you this week, now is the time to make it last. Certainly you can get yourself a few little goodies, but with Jupiter’s love of excess, if you find one thing you like, you may buy it in every colour or flavour. Now is the perfect to remind yourself of the distinctions between, wants, needs and desires. Desires are great fun, but seldom have much to do with your real life. Oftentimes your desires can be your undoing, being the product of fantasy or self delusion. Wants are even more ephemeral. Many times you find yourself wanting something until the “non event” moment when you get it. Needs are permanent, like needing Air or Water. In the Lord’s prayer we ask, “ Give us this day our daily bread.” That is your celestial guarantee that your needs will always be met as long as you love yourself. Focus on your needs and let the rest drift away. Buy yourself a little something that you truly need and you will use it forever, unlike the dusty toys in the closet.
A la semaine prochaine !
