Horoscopes for the week of 2.18.13

Aries: You, like everyone else, are working with some complex relational issues. This week starts on a high note, and gets progressively more complex. There are gains because of your efforts. Use your people skills to advance business and maneuver sticky situations. You are feeling the pressure from all sides. How can you start letting off the steam? What steps can you take to help alleviate some of the intensity? There is only one of you and it feels like everyone needs a piece. How can you duplicate your self for maximum results? What can be let go of once and for all?

Taurus: Some of your bad habits are kicking up their heels. For the next few months you will especially need to watch your digestion and the foods you eat. Notice that what you eat is intimately connected to how you are relating to others, who you are relating to, and why. This is not just about food. Your career choices are making it a challenge for you to nurture your self, some changes will have to be made. What are you willing to do, to put your body/mind/spirit/emotions first, above money and materialistic life pursuits?

Gemini: There's still this tussle between your heart and your mind going on. The ultimate war for you. I'm a big believer in having your cake and eating it too. Your dharma is really being tested right now. It seems you can't have it both ways, but soon you're about to see otherwise. Don't try to outsmart your self, it will only make things worse. You really have to live your dreams, on all levels, if this life thing is going to work out how you want it to.

Cancer: You are uprooting. It's spring time, so you are aligned with good timing for planting new seeds. But you aren't quite there yet. Right now, you are still transforming. You are the little seed in the dark, wet soil figuring out how and when to emerge, and what you are going to materialize as. You are learning. Keep your eyes closed a little longer. Meditate in order to transform and speed up the process. Pay close attention to your mother right now. She needs your TLC.

Leo: You can't do this alone. No empire was built over night. Your vulnerabilities are appearing. Look for signs in temper tantrums, inner turmoil and emotional combustion. Who and what are triggering you? Be clear and concise with your needs and ask for proper help. There is no award for doing everything alone, only ego. Try it, and you may die trying. Simultaneously, let some relationships end (some of these are with your self) and make room for some new ones.

Virgo: Usually, our bad habits are shrouded in mystery. Yours are no different. Some of them are really baring their fangs right now and its making life quite challenging. You are learning the ways of the heart, and this week will heighten the investigation. You have a chance to really make strides with your greatest fears, maybe even dare to face them. Who is your biggest boogey man? What aren't you able to digest? What is keeping you from moving forward? What aren't you saying? The pressure is on. Rip the band-aid off.

Libra: Storm season just got a little more intense for you.  You are not thinking clearly right now, find safety in the eye of the storm and start to become acutely aware when you become the tornado. Be vigilant with your children and your digestion. Be careful with friends and business partners. There could be a falling out. Be reasonable, but not stupid.

Scorpio: Be vigilant with your dreams and sleep habits. Stop burning the midnight oil and avoiding the messages that can only come with your eyes closed. You will be needing more and more alone time over the next few months, and it will be harder and harder to find. Do what you can to find the peace. Your emotional sensitivity is at an all time high. Honor your mother. Decorate your home and heart space. Create space for transformations from the inside out.

Sagittarius: When you think of bravery and courage, what do you think of? Your strong desires and creativity are at an all time high. How can you maximize this courage and creativity and turn it into a winning combo? Who, what and where are involved with this creative dynamism? Part of you is getting some very clear messages about what to do and how to live your one true life. Are you listening? This week, take an action step in the right direction. Find the right people to be involved. Take time for knowledge and insight. Close your eyes. Make a wish.

Capricorn: It's your turn to speak, sing, vocalize. It's your turn to cuss, preach, posture and educate. It's dharmic for you. But also quite rocky and vulnerable right now. Maybe this is what you need to tell: The story of your existence. The struggles of living and life. The hardships with others and learning to love, trusting to love. The challenge of making enough money to get out of the struggle. The power and insights that have come as a result of this Path. Use your suffering as your greatest gift. Bring them to the feast as an offering to others. Shout it from the mountain top.

Aquarius: It doesn't feel very fun right now, does it? Feeling overwhelmed or underwhelmed? Are you doing everything in life all at once? How is that working for you? You are being taught something dharmic and powerful with the recent dramas. This play will continue to develop and unfold over the next few months so be diligent with your relations. Pay attention to your father. Some clues are coming this week. Use your intelligence and stay out of the power play with mind over emotions. For you, emotions are crucial. Cry about it.

Pisces: You are being liberated from others and it's a stormy, uncomfortable divorce. Try on brave and courageous surrender and cut the chains that are holding you back once and for all. Your mind and heart are not in sync. This week is the beginning of the end, and the end of the beginning on many levels. Be ritualistic with it. You are in dramatic need of alone time and inner transformation. The debts with your self are piling up. Your comfort is directly related to your courage. The more you use it, the more you get. Get uncomfortable.
