Courage and commitment are the coin of the realm. Remember who you are and what you stand for. I repeat last month’s advice (and until our results are achieved, in one form or another, I’ll keep repeating it): 2017 will bring big changes, many fraught with turbulence and previously unthinkable occurrences and events. We must all remember that each of us is capable of doing potentially mysterious, empowering deeds and of displaying courage, integrity and heart so vital and vibrant to the continuation of all that we hold dear– and then, we must do them.

Now, more than ever, this quote must speak to us and for us:

“You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly above them. You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist. And there are many of us out there, more than you think. People who refuse to stop believing. People who love in a world without walls, people who love into hate, into refusal, against hope, and without fear.” Lauren Oliver

THE EMPEROR (March 21 – April 20) Of all of the twelve players of the zodiac, life’s stage, you are playing the most enigmatic and adventurous character. Your part in the play of life is to be the courageous one– that brilliant, swash buckling affirmation of life whose daring exploits we all love to emulate. This month, more than ever, please remember that the obstacles you encounter are only a part of your path to test you, not to ‘best’ you.

THE EMPRESS (April 21 – May 20) Whether you’re growing plants or investing money, plant the seeds that will guarantee you a bountiful crop!  Take some small steps outside your comfort zone and take a few risks. By so doing, you’ll open the door to a wonderful season of excitement and adventure. Exercise good judgment, but by all means– go for it!

THE LOVERS (May 21 – June 20) There is nothing subtle about the change of seasons and your place in it. As the charismatic communicator of all that connects human beings to each other, please remember to set aside some quiet time for yourself. It’s a busy time, and your stamina will need an assist from you, so do practice self-care and allow yourself a bit of therapeutic self-indulgence– take long walks in nature, go to the movies in the middle of the day, get a pedicure– whatever helps you re-charge.

THE CHARIOT (June 21 – July 20) Your financial future promises to shine brightly this month. This is a good time to relate the principals of finance to time and energy management of your own resources. As you do so, you’ll more clearly understand the value of yourself and your contributions to your environment. With your new-found conscious understanding of your value and how to use it, you’ll powerfully attract what you need and want in order to create the kind of life that reflects your brilliance.

THE SUN (July 21 – August 22) Talk is cheap and gossip is plentiful. Consider the source when others start giving you advice and make your own decisions before you proceed. Keep your own counsel and play your cards close to your vest. You’ll be glad you did as you discover that you can successfully rely on yourself.

 THE HERMIT (August 23 – September 22) You have been blessed with a wonderful imagination as well as a knack for details. Nurture your dreams by focusing on the positive as you create the foundations and structures that will assist you in bringing your plans and dreams to life.

JUSTICE (September 23 – October 22) It’s time to get real. Romanticism and perfection are great appetizers, but they’re poor substitutes for the main course of life. Real life involves knowing that life is a work in progress– place yourself at the center of it and enjoy the process. This approach will lead to the successful fulfillment of your goals.

THE MAGICIAN (October 23 – November 21) This is an excellent time for introspection. By taking internal inventory, you’ll become conscious of what beliefs are serving you and which ones are old and no longer useful to you. By so doing, you’ll automatically shed unnecessary ‘weight’ which will enable you to move through your world with wings on your feet.

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE (November 22 – December 21) You’re being asked to stretch beyond your current idea of what your limits are. The human-made symmetry you’re trying to base your life on doesn’t work or exist. Look beyond the ‘logical’ for the reassurance and answers you need. Destiny is taking an active hand in your life and new opportunities will present themselves to you.

THE WORLD (December 22 – January 19) It’s time to wish for what you want as if there were no limits or restrictions. Really get into it.  Now– know that you can have your wish if you are willing to embark on the adventure of your life. Doors will open for you and help will come from unexpected sources.

THE STAR (January 20 – February 19) Although it’ll be tempting, don’t buy into other people’s belief systems, no matter how plausible they may seem to be. It’s very important that you listen to your intuition, invest your energy in faith and trust that faith 100%. The pay-off will be very gratifying.

THE MOON (February 20 – March 20) Rather than concerning yourself with quantity, it’s better to focus on quality at this time.  Take a look at your relationships with others and most importantly, your relationship with yourself. If what you see is not reflecting your true values, it’s time for a change. Insist on aligning yourself with values that truly reflect who you are and what you want.
