(March 20-April

Recent events or developments may have you feeling a bit apprehensive
about making too much progress too fast. You may feel as if there is
some pitfall in your way. Yet in many senses, the worst is over and you
have been through the most critical changes. You would go a long way
this month to settle your soul by concentrating on practical matters
to address your emotional concerns, your home base and financial affairs
being two excellent places to start. You know the time to initiate changes
in these specific areas has arrived, and you must know it will do you
a lot of good to take charge. |

You've finally begun to take an emotional partnership more seriously,
but in a way, that really means less seriously. The tarot card "The
Lovers" is sometimes referred to as "The Brothers," and
while it may not seem romantic to view those in whom you have a love
interest as a sibling, there's a practical side to this equation that's
begging for your attention. Your ideas about love and sex tend toward
the sentimental, whereas it's actually possible you could have more fun
and experience deeper connection with a more clear-headed approach. I
know you want what you want. In that spirit, take the direct path.

Now that you've learned to breathe air and water, you're ready to breathe
a bit of fire. As recent perhaps disturbing events involving friends
or key allies have shown you, this can be dangerous, because your words
have impact beyond what you may think. What you may lack in diplomacy
you are more than compensating for in natural charm and charisma, and
in fact, certain individuals are willing to take your lead. You could
go a long way toward smoothing out your energy and your overall presentation
by remembering how strong your idea is, and remembering that long-term
persistence gets the job done -- but a bold and brazen attitude is what
gets it started. |

You seem to be in no mood to take anyone's emotional manipulation sitting
down, however I suggest you look beneath your own feelings at the layer
of hurt and mistrust that you may be carrying around. If this is a sin,
it's in the true sense of the word -- a lack of some sort, and you would
be doing yourself a big favor by keeping a short list of your most important
needs and making sure you devote time every day to getting them met.
Unconsciously you may fear that others will judge you for doing this,
but I assure you that for the people who care the most, it will come
as a great relief.

You've accomplished quite a bit in terms of building a foundation for
yourself, and the agreements you've made with partners, love interests
or other key individuals in your life are the stable ground that makes
your potential real. You may fear that people will hesitate at the moment
you need them to be strong, but nothing is further from the truth. When
in doubt, start a conversation on any matter that concerns you. Ask for
help when you need it, and ask people to stand back when you need to
take center stage of your own life. Everyone knows better than you --
it is high time for that. |

Basically, any questions you may face surrounding your psychological
health come down to food and exercise. Obviously you know this intellectually,
and you believe it in theory, but you may be in the midst of a mild (or
not so mild) disconnect when it comes to putting ideas into action. Work
with patterns. One action in a direction other than you're accustomed
to represents a change in a pattern, and two actions in that direction
represent the beginnings of a new one. Persist daily, weekly or sporadically
with sincerity and you will advance your cause considerably. The long
run is the one that counts most. |

You've known a long time that you needed to make deep, lasting changes
in your personality if you were going to ever be happy. What you may
not have noticed is that you've nearly succeeded in making all of them.
What points haven't you touched upon? I think one may involve the way
in which you take a romantic view of work, rather than one that's oriented
on specific goals, tangible achievements and a generally take-charge-now
attitude. At the moment, you have the opportunity to evaluate both approaches
in action, and make solid and lasting changes based on what you learn
from direct experience. |

Luck is not one of those things you typically take for granted. You seem
to be in no mood to do so now, but at the same time, you also seem determined
to have faith in the unseen and the unknown. Surely, your inspiration,
willingness to take creative risks and apparently boundless energy are
all coming from somewhere, and that somewhere is a deep trust in existence.
But luck is a kind of passive trust. You have the capacity to feel trust
with gusto.

Just because you may be reluctant to come to a particular conclusion
or make a certain statement about what you want doesn't mean you're not
going to do it. But I suggest you go one way or the other: reluctant
or assertive. These days you seem to be hedging between the two and appear
to be waiting for fate or a more compelling feeling to intervene. I strongly
suggest you make up your own mind rather than letting it get made up
for you. You have your answer; you just need to listen carefully, and
with a little faith. |

This is the year that Saturn opposes Neptune, the planet least like itself.
If you are feeling a lingering sense of unease or apprehension, it may
involve this transit, which looms in the distance. Yet what are you really
feeling? Is it some lack of certainty about the solid, concrete nature
of the world? Is it the sense that you will be asked to compromise? Here
is a clue: 'it' doesn't exist now and you are deciding what 'it' is as
we speak. I suggest you talk to 'it' and make some decisions about your
not-so-far-off distant future. |

Okay, life could be easier. Chiron in your birth sign has been keeping
you on edge and pushing you to a degree of self-consciousness that's
uncomfortable even for one who thinks as much as you do. Yet from the
look of your charts, clear and focused thinking is precisely the order
of the day. You'll know you're really doing it when the things that are
important to you today are a step ahead of those that were important
to you yesterday. This is not the time to be resting on the laurels of
yesterday's interesting philosophies.

If you get the feeling that you're fighting yourself, take half a step
to the left and look at your situation from a slightly different angle.
The obstacle you may be facing is not really there, or it's not as thick
as it looks -- in fact, it's more like a projection in the fog. The solution
is an idea, and it may be subtle; or it may be extremely innovative,
but to take advantage of that you need to summon your ability to take
ideas and gradually manifest them into reality -- only this time, not
so gradual. Something you thought was going to take a long time to come
to fruition is actually poised to move a lot faster.
