NOTE
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Happy New Year 2016
Happy New Year! And welcome 2016! I don’t know about you, but with this fresh
new year upon us, I’m ready to grab the reins and take control of the year ahead....
okay okay, I mean once mercury retrograde is over on January 25th...then it’s full
speed ahead! There’s something about a new year that gives us all a feeling of a fresh
start, new beginnings. Sure any day of the year we can wake up and start again, start
fresh, a new day and a new you. But we don’t. There’s a strange phenomenon that
happens worldwide on New Year’s Day that gives everyone that extra drive and that
need to make resolutions to change something in their lives. Maybe it’s because we
feel we are all back at start and it’s an even playing field from the start of the first day
of the year to see who will win this year, who will accomplish more. Whatever the
cause, it’s great to feel fresh and awakened and I’m going with it. The universe has a
lot in store for us in 2016, we just need to be open to receive it.
This new issue of the new year has a lot of insightful information for you on starting
the year with a flair. Waking up your senses and doing something new. The 3 month
ZodiScopes and the Tarot readings also will give you a quick roadmap of what to
look out for in the next few months so you can start the year off aware and ready for
anything.
Zodi Habit Magazine wants to assist you this year in becoming the best, well
prepared, focused individual you want to be and help you to succeed at all of your
resolutions you set forth. If there’s anything you want to know about and would like
to read about in the coming issues, then please write me at info@zodihabit.com and
I’ll be sure to assist you with getting you the info you need! Zodi Habit is all about
YOU! Whatever you want to know more about, we are here to provide you with it,
just ask and you shall receive. A prosperous and magical year is upon us....let’s allow
ourselves to take advantage of the universe’s gifts.
And remember - “In order to manifest what you want in life - you must first
know what it is that you truly want”
Peace, Love & Light

MERCURY
RETROGRADE
JAN 5th - JAN 25th
2016
MERCURY RETROGRADE
January 5 - January 25, 2016
Starts in Aquarius, ends in earth Capricorn
Mercury Retrograde occurs when the planet Mercury
appears to be moving backwards when viewed from
earth, but in all reality it is just slowing down and
gives the illusion that it’s going backwards. Mercury
is the planet of communications and thus when
the planet slows down so does our communication,
scheduling, transportation and our judgment becomes
cloudy or prone to error.
Mercury retrograde occurs at two levels.
1. The Observatory/Awareness Level
2. The Personal Level
At the Observatory/Awareness level, there is not
much we can do with the actions of others, except
to be more conscious and prepare for delays and
errors by double checking schedules, not overreacting
to someone else when they say something we don’t
agree with and know it’s out of their character but
we are aware we are in a retrograde period and allow
it. Leaving early when we have a trip or meeting
planned in order to be prepared for delays.
At the Personal level we can do a lot in order to
avoid the consequences of Mercury Retrograde.
Most of us encounter the consequences when we are
not centered, aware or conscious of what is going on
around us, and more often than not the culprit is that
we are not acting from our heart and spirit. Instead
we are snapping out of frustration or malice. We are
reacting from our needs, our hurts, from our buttons
being pushed, or the way that we take care of others
and not ourselves. We are aware it’s retrograde and
will need to take personal accountability not to sign
contracts, purchase electronics or start a new business
venture during this time. We must remember to think
before we speak as communications are off balance
so everything we say can be misconstrued by others.
We also need to personally focus on what challenges
we are experiencing and remove these toxins from
our life. During mercury retrograde we can patch up
or end a relationship, it’ll always point out the faults
of the energy involved in the relationship, be it a
significant other or even just an employer.

THE ZODIAC IS BACK! - ASTRO 101
JUPITER
RETROGRADE
January 7th - May 9th 2016
Jupiter Retrograde begins on January 7th at 23°
Virgo, and goes direct on May 9th at 13° Virgo.
Jupiter goes into Virgo
when viewed from earth, but in all reality
Jupiter Retrograde occurs when the planet
Jupiter appears to be moving backwards
it is just slowing down and gives the
illusion that it’s going backwards.
By Lisa Yorkshire
Jupiter is the planet of luck and when the
planet slows down so does our communication,
scheduling, transportation and our judgment
becomes cloudy or prone to error.
Jupiter is considered to be the most powerful
and influential planet among nine planets.
It represents wealth, fortune, honesty,
justice, positive qualities and happiness.
In normal conditions, when Jupiter is direct,
it’s the provider of wisdom, intelligence and
happiness. A
retrograde
Jupiter is
equivalent to
training our
mystical
powers
and our
strength.
People
with Jupiter
retrograding
in their
astrology
chart houses
are able to perform all the tasks that a
normal person cannot even think of doing
in his lifetime. The outcome is that these
people (with Jupiter Retrograde passing
through houses in their chart) will achieve
fame and respect while doing unusual tasks
during the Jupiter retrograde period.
The Astrological House that Jupiter is in
shows where there will be good fortune
and expansion in your personal life. This
Astrological House position will indicate
the specific area in life in which you gain
insight and grow in understanding. This area
will generally be very fortunate for you. (if
you’d like Zodi Habit Magazine’s Astrologers
to work up your personalized astrology
chart to find out which houses Jupiter is
in now, you can email info@zodihabit.com
for more info on price and turn time)
Overall, regardless of the house placement,
Jupiter’s retrograde encourages us all to slow
down, pull back and make sure we aren’t
wandering off the Path that is right for us.
Jupiter Retrograde is not that bad as that of
the other planets’ retrograde motion but it
does cause one to overdo in certain matters.
It may delay the final outcome but it also
should be beneficial in the end result. The
planet Jupiter rules travel so during its
retrograde period this might bring in lots
of wanted and unwanted travel for you.
Jupiter retrograde is also connected with
pregnancy and bloating of the body.
Overall, Jupiter retrograde 2016 is very
promising, suggesting plenty of personal,
spiritual and material growth. Success can be
achieved in whatever area of life that needs more
fulfillment, from new love relationships
to breaking addictions, overseas
travels or accumulating wealth.
We all have inner wisdom if
we take the time to listen to
it, and Jupiter Retrograde
encourages just that. We will
ask ourselves questions such
as: Do I like my job? Am I
happy in my relationship? Am I
fooling myself about something?
Do I like where I’m headed in life?
Jupiter Retrograde asks those kinds of
questions, and gives us more than three months
to think about the answers before going direct.
Even while in retrograde, bountiful Jupiter
wants to help you figure out how to grow
and change and become the best version of
yourself. Use this time wisely - it’s a gift!

by far the largest! It is twice as massive as
all the other planets combined. Its mass
is over 300 times that of the Earth.
Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the
sky (after the Sun, the Moon and Venus)
Jupiter spins faster than any other planet, taking
a little under 10 hours to complete a turn on
its axis, compared with 24 hours for Earth
Jupiter is said to bring great good fortune,
and its influence is to expand the effect of
everything it comes into contact with
The Astrological House that Jupiter is in shows
where there will be good fortune and expansion
in your personal life. This Astrological House
position will indicate the specific area in life in
which you gain insight and grow in understanding.
This area will generally be very fortunate for you
Jupiter is the ruling planet for Sagittarius
The entire Jupiter retrograde 2016 phase
points to success in achieving the growth
necessary to find greater happiness,
fulfillment and satisfaction in life.
The retrograde phase starting in January 2016
represents a major test of faith and self-control.
Any addictive behaviors will need to be addressed
When Jupiter goes direct in May 2016, this
indicates overall success and happiness!

ZodiSCOPES
ARIES
Born March 21 - April 19:
In January there will be a lot of attention brought to
your career. The Sun, Mercury and Pluto as well as
the new moon on Jan 9th will all be in Capricorn (the
ruler of Saturn). And Saturn will be in your 10th house
(fame and honors) indicating a change is brewing for
your career. Remember to stay grounded and absorb
the non emotional energy Capricorn brings so you do
not fly off the handle with unnecessary stress. This
change coming about is one of a positive light. The
feeling of not knowing what path you’re headed within
your business is driving you mad but have faith that
someone higher up than you, a superior is pulling some
strings to make sure you shine in the brightest of lights.
They have seen you out-perform your peers and handle
difficult situations with ease and professionalism in the
past that they think you are the best candidate for the
upcoming position.
Mars is in your eight house (intense emotions) and you
have been worried to the extreme about your finances.
But the good news is with this intense energy in your
eighth house, you will go to any measure to make sure
you make ends meet and obtain the cash you need.
You may have a desire to pick up a part time job, or
sell items on e-bay or even pick up a creative hobby
that you can sell your creations on the side. The planes
energy is giving you the drive you need to accomplish
this financial setback you think you’re in.
Early February will be the time you meet your one
true love and have a magical moment like none you’ve
ever experienced before. If you are in a relationship
currently, you will grow on the deepest of levels and
have a moment that the two of you will cherish for the
rest of your lives. You’ll be smitten in love and on cloud
nine.
Travel will be difficult and have many setback in
January and early February so avoid it if you can. A
vacation in March is going to be presented to you and
you should accept, do not let your work responsibilities
hold you back as you need this trip to recharge your
juices and et you motivated for the rest of the year and
your new career tasks at hand.
Trust in others that praise you and tell you about your
positive attributes. They are speaking from the heart as
well as from their admiration they have for you. You
have had a big impact on others both in your career and
personal life over the past year and have felt you’ve
been unappreciated and have gone unnoticed, but that’s
not the case. Everything you’ve done is gratefully
appreciated and in March you will hear about the
endless praises they have for you. Suck it all up like a
sponge and remember what they say so next time you
are feeling low about putting in so much effort with no
return, you’ll remind yourself, it takes time for others
to catch up to what you already know. But your good
deeds and hard work have not gone unnoticed..
TAURUS
By Blake Sandoval
January - March 2016
Bio: Blake Sandoval is a noted Astrologer living in Northern
California. He has been studying astrology for over
25 years and has a weekly radio segment in which he
analyzes astrological charts, he writes articles for various
publications and believes astrology is our roadmap to
answers we seek if we observe and learn from it’s lessons.
Born April 20 -May 20:
January you will have your focus on your next new
venture you’re about to embark on this year, be it
marriage, a new child or a career change.
Your focus in mid January will be your career and
getting your ducks in a row so when you’re ready to
launch your new project or start your new job you
are beyond prepared. You know it will take time
and right now you are grounded and focused on the
tasks at hand. Just be sure that you do not make
any new changes or sign contracts until we are past
mercury retrograde (after Jan 25).
The 2nd week of January shows that unexpected
money will come your way, a nice little windfall to
assist you with your finances, something you didn’t
even see coming.
Mars will be in your 7th house (commitment,
marriage) and you will be focused on your partner
as you have a lot to discuss and plan right now.
January - March will have you very busy between
your commitment to your partners needs and to
your responsibilities with your new endeavor
at work. Mid February is the best time for you
to launch your new venture or release your new
project if you want it to be accepted with open arms
by others. Prior to that you make run into to some
communication issues with others as the remnants
of mercury retrograde are still acting haywire which
could hinder the point you’re trying to get across.
This new endeavor is huge and you need it to all
go smooth so that the year ahead brings you the
financial gain you’ve been dreaming of.
You’ll run into a few flaws on either a patent or
copyright infringement being challenged sometime
in January that definitely needs to be addressed.
Maybe even an issue with your company’s logo or
slogan. Something along the lines that someone is
challenging you but in the end they really do not
have any grounds to back it up. Do your research
in January, but do not act on anything or discuss
with anyone your plans to resolve this matter until
February. After February it’ll be smooth sailing with
your business venture and you’ll be off on a good
step. Nothing to stress over, stay grounded and do
not fly off the handle getting all worked up about
nothing.
There seems to be a lot of emphasis on your home
the beginning part of the year with big plans to
re-model or re-decorate. New beginnings in the
beginning of the year are always good to change the
energy surrounding you. The best time to act on this
home renovations would be in early March.
GEMINI
Born May 21 – June 21:
January gets off to a slow start for you as you’re
feeling exhausted and worn out from everything
you’ve been trying to do over the past few months
that you finally just feel overwhelmed and get into
a procrastination phase. With Mercury Retrograde
(January 5th-25th) upon us you are really feeling
like nothing can go right. Mercury is the ruling
planet for Gemini, the planet of communications,
electronics, travel, contracts, negotiations, etc and
as a Gemini you feel this slow down energy from
Mercury the most intense of all the signs. But take
a breath, remind yourself it doesn’t mean everything
will blow up in your face, it’s just supposed to be
a time to “slow down” (retrograde is the slowing
of the planet mercury which makes people nuts
because nothing goes as planned, but it’s really a
time to clear your head and get rid of unnecessary
obstacles holding you back). Right now your focus
should just be on brainstorming and setting a plan
in action for what you want to accomplish this year
but it is not a time to execute those plans, at least not
until after January 25th. In February you will be so
happy that you waited and gave yourself the time to
prepare for the year ahead. The obstacles in front of
you (throughout most of January) are just stepping
stones headed in a positive upward stance that will
surely be in your favor if you heed the advice to plan
and not jump the gun by executing on your plans
because of being impatient.
Around January 18th Mars and Neptune will be
in your 10th house of career, fame and honors.
Originality and creativity are at an all time high
and a great time now to present ideas to a potential
client or employer that will surely impress them.
Right now is all about focusing on the presentation
and ideas you have, but not so much deciding on an
outcome of how you plan to execute these ideas into
motion. At least not until February.
The New Moon and Pluto passing through Capricorn
indicate someone you know very well will be very
supportive and helpful to you in your business. They
will be your words of wisdom and your financial
advisor that will take you to the next step of success.
You’ll be directed towards financial capital you are
in need of and guidance on sales and something to
do with banking or investments. This person you
have known for a while, does anyone come to mind?
They are already part of your life and a person you
admire from afar.
In March you will shine the brightest in real estate,
maybe you’re working on selling your home, or
investing in a new home, maybe even getting in the
real estate field. But the spotlight is definitely on
real estate in some shape or form. Jupiter (the planet
of luck and happiness) is passing through your 4th
house of home and family into your eighth house
(other peoples money), indicating much financial
gain in real estate or mortgages.
Wait until after February 8th to launch your new
project or endeavor you’ve been working on over
the past few months. It will welcome you with great
success right out the door. Your excitement compiled
with your preparation are the keys for your success.
Venus (the planet of love) will be in your 7th house
(commitment, marriage) and re-assure you that
you are ready to commit to “the one”. If you’re
in a relationship, you will be taking it to the next
level sometime this year but in February and March
the wheels are actively in motion. Saturn is also
passing through the 7th house that clearly shows you
are entering the next chapter of your life and will
be committed in your relationship whether that be
moving in together or getting married.
CANCER
Born June 22 – July 22:
The end of January through March you’ll experience
some negative issues with an associate (based on
the angle of Uranus to the new moon on Jan 9th
indicating problems will arrise). You will have some
problems arise with a business partner or someone
whom you work closely with in the business aspect
of your life. You find this person to be unfair and
treating you more like their employee rather than
their equal. This person is hard headed and self
absorbed, looking out only for their best interest.
They will try to dominate you and push you back
into a corner as they are trying to gain control. They
are trying to devise a plan to steal your market share
(or idea, credit for work you’ve done) Steer clear
of any legal disputes as this person is cunning and
will have more money than you to fight it through
the courts and has no shame in twisting the truth to
benefit themselves. If you can spot them/identify
whom this is ahead of time and break ties with
them now, that would be the best avenue to take
to avoid the headache they are about to bring upon
you. You need to stand up for yourself and trust
your gut instinct; if it seems to you like they have
an ulterior motive, then you are right, they do, and
you need to have faith in your internal guide. Uranus
shows you where you are vulnerable and where you
need to become strong. Stop keeping them around
thinking you will gain something (business contacts,
notoriety, acknowledgement, business lessons/
advice), as you are only falling into their trap. They
are a master manipulator so unless you want to
run your business/career by not being honest, this
person will bring nothing to your success and will
result in your demise or set you back, and after all
the work you have invested in your career, you do
not deserve or need this.
There will be a new child in your family this year, set
to arrive mid-year. This child will bring your family
closer and there will be admiration towards you for
your generosity you show when your relatives are in
need. Around March you will be asked for a favor
and how you respond is important, think before you
speak.
Plans you have to travel or move in mid January will
be delayed for a couple weeks during retrograde, but
do not worry as this is only a minor setback. You
will have the money and resources you need in early
February.
Around the new moon on January 9th you will focus
on your romantic personal life and a discussion of
commitment will arise. The planets Mercury, Pluto,
The Sun and The Moon are in your commitment
house and the universe is gently pushing you
forward to commit to your significant other or person
of interest even though your original plan was to
wait. Also around the new moon (Jan 9), Uranus
will play a role in a disagreement you and a partner
have over your career or something else important
to you and it will have you all fired up. They have
a few objections and opinions regarding what you
are doing and you are not so receptive at first until
you step back and see they have your best interest
at heart. The energy of Uranus is to intellectually
challenge you and teach you when to let your guard
down. You both (your partner/love interest) seem to
finally be on the same page after this discussion and
in February and March you understand one another
on a much deeper level. This person admires you
and gives you a lot of attention and support on all
levels.

ZodiSCOPES
LEO
Born July 23 – August 21:
January is the time you will need to go through
a healthy detox. It’s a time to reform your eating
and exercise patterns. Portion control is key and
counting your calories will and should consume
you most of the month until you are mentally
focused on hitting your fitness goals. This will
eventually come as second nature after you have repatterned
your way of thinking to a healthier one.
One that will surely benefit you, mind body and
soul, through-out the year ahead.
There’s many planets passing through Capricorn
which is an indication of a lot of projects on
your plate at work involving accounting and/
or budgeting. Things in regards to reviewing
the numbers from last year and restructuring a
few necessary things to allow for the business to
prosper in 2016.
Venus (the planet of love) will be in your fifth house
(love, romance and children) which indicates if you
are in a relationship that has been very positive
lately, you are without a doubt headed to a serious
commitment/proposal to take it to the next level. In
early February there will be a big transition in your
relationship that will either be to commit (marriage
or baby or moving in together) if your relationship
is strong and has been on a positive note. But there’s
also an indication that if things have not been going
smooth with you and your partner/love interest then
you will break ties indefinitely in the beginning of
February so that you can make way for the love of
your life to enter shortly thereafter.
If there are financial matters surrounding sale of a
home or other real estate, it is best for you to resolve
them in mid March because if you wait until May
you will have nothing but headaches since many
planets will be retrograde at that time causing many
challenges and delays in any type of resolution for
months to come. So be prepared in March to hunker
down and use all the resources you have at hand to
resolve matters of real estate in mid March. Seek
advice from a trusted financial advisor to help guide
you through this. You currently know a person in
real estate that is extremely knowledgeable and
it’s time to go pick their brain and ask for their
guidance on what steps you will need to take to
make everything move ahead smooth and to come
to a simple resolution that satisfies all parties
involved.
VIRGO
Born August 22 – September 22:
January starts out on a lovely note, many planets
(The Sun, The January 9th New Moon, Mercury
and Pluto) are in your 5th house of love, romance
and children. If you’re in a relationship, you and
your partner may decide to have a baby and take the
relationship to another level. If you’re single you’ll
find yourself out and about in the social scene and
surrounded by many admirers.
Early February will bring about sudden expenses
so keep a watchful eye on your finances as you
will have a lot of money going out. You can look
forward to a positive turn in your finances come the
end of February and into early March. You’ll finally
be able to catch up on what you were behind in.
Venus (the planet of love) will be passing through
Capricorn and you’ll find yourself out in the social
scene more come the end of January. You can relax
and unwind while enjoying the ambiance and new
found release of stress that is upon you. You will
effortlessly draw others towards you and now in the
first time in 12 years, (because Jupiter is in Virgo
bringing you luck) and you will meet with the
person who is your true love. This person is older
than you or more mature than you’ve been involved
with which will be a breath of fresh air as you won’t
have to go through the drama as you’ve experienced
in past relationships. You will be “lucky in love”
during these next few months.
You’re New Year’s resolution should be one that
involves improving your health as you will be
successful in any plan you put into action at this
time. Lately you have been feeling drained and
extreme fatigue but with a little focus on how
you eat and a daily exercise routine, you will be
rejuvenated by March.
Travel plans you have scheduled for the end of
January will be frustrating to say the least, there will
be many delays and things will not go as planned.
If you can reschedule until the end of February it
is suggested you do so to save yourself from the
unneeded stress that comes along with being late to
an important meeting that you have scheduled with
a very important/influential individual.
LIBRA
Born September 23 – October 23:
The start of January may have you frustrated with
your work. Since we’re entering Mercury Retrograde
on January 5th and it doesn’t go direct until January
25th you will run into many challenges while
communicating with clients or your superiors. But do
not throw in the towel when you are bombarded with
rejection or pushed aside to a later date because this
Mercury Retrograde is just a lesson for you dear Libra
to slow down your gumption and sit and ponder what
really is going on. Now it would be a good time to
reassess your approach to the tasks at hand and come
up with logical and easier ways to reach out to these
individuals without giving them the feeling of being
pressured. Come February you will have devised a
sure way to approach these individuals with tact and
courtesy that you’re guaranteed to get the positive
response you were after.
Early January with mercury retrograde coupled with
Uranus in Aries, you will find a lot of pushback from
your significant other in regards to plans the two of
you are making. They will not be very receptive and
shoot down any and all of your ideas. It seems very
harsh and you’re at a standstill wondering what the
heck their problem is. But it’s not you, it’s not them,
it’s the universe. Right now is not the time to do what
it is you want to do at the moment and the universe
is assisting in the only way you are receptive with a
direct NO. Accept it and move on, do not argue or try
to convince the other person to just give in as it will
not work and you will just end up even more frustrated
and feeling extremely let down.
Over the past few months you’ve done a good job
planting the seeds towards your financial future.
Setting things in motion to assure a great financial
windfall midyear. January and February you will be
spending your money like crazy because you feel
that you are in a good position to do so, but that’s
not the case, your seeds are not yet cultivated and
spending your rainy day money could lead to some
disappointments in March when an unexpected
expense arises and you do not have the funds to pay
for it. Do not plan a trip to go on vacation in Jan, Feb
or March as you’ll learn it will not go as planned.
Emotions are high and finances are low so this trip
would only end disastrous. You can plan a trip, just do
not go on one until June at the earliest.
Not all is bad in this quarter. The end of January or mid
February you will be invited to a prestigious VIP only
event by a close friend, an event you do not want to
miss and one you should not miss. Make arrangements
with your work schedule to allow yourself the time
off to go. It may be out of town, not a vacation but
an event that may require a few hours of travel and
an overnight stay but one that will not cost you much
if anything at all. At this event you will be pampered
and treated like a queen/king. Dress to impress! The
surroundings will be high class, beautifully decorated
and decadent food as well as ambiance surround this
event. A time for you to let your inner god/goddess
shine through and soak up all the universe is sending
to you.
SCORPIO
Born October 24 – November 21:
January starts out pretty prestigious and exciting
for you. Mars (the ruling planet of Scorpio) is in
Scorpio now which is a prime spot that you want
it to be. You’ll be center stage to all the events you
attend and will be the focal point in everyone’s
parties/events. This is a time for you to dictate and
delegate. Those who do not follow your command
will be sorry when you decide to wash your hands
of them and kick them out of your inner circle.
People are flocking towards you and looking
for your direction as if they were sent to be your
slave for the month. Be fair and kind but indulge
in the power as you rarely get the opportunity for
the universe to align so generously putting you in
ultimate control.
Some communications you have will others could
come across abrasive and brash, but you do not care
one bit, you have the power and you are using it to
the fullest. But be careful through January 25th as
Mercury is in retrograde and what is typically brash
will come out forceful and mean. If you care about
keeping future relationships with these individuals
then you should pause and think before you speak.
February you may find yourself becoming a bit
selfish but you need to put yourself in check
immediately as you run the risk of losing people
that are very dear to your heart. There’s a couple
individuals that you know would do anything in
their power for you and they always have your back
but lately you have not been very appreciative and
rather than thanking them, you take on the persona
of expecting it and assuming you deserve their
selfless gratitude.
Mid February you will get exciting news from
a friend who is eager to help you with a project
you have been talking about for months. Venture
capital has arrived and the time to act on this new
endeavor is now. You will have a rise in status as an
outcome of this new venture and it will happen fast
so be prepared and go with the flow as you own the
position and shine. It could be from a promotion,
a new business, a project you are launching or
favorable publicity on tv or the radio.
Romantically you will have no problem what so
ever drawing in the admirers with little to no effort
at all. If you’re single this is great news and if
you’re in a relationship it’s even better because you
and your partner will be able to regain that spark
you had when you first met. Your pheromones are
working in your favor, as is Mars in Scorpio.
Venus will be in perfect sync with Neptune the last
two days of January indicating your love life will
deepen and your connection with your partner/love
interest will flourish. You will have a deep desire to
do anything and everything for the one you love to
keep them happy, safe and secure.
SAGITTARIUS
Born November 22 – December 21:
In January The Sun, The New Moon, Mercury and
Pluto will be in your 2nd house (earned income)
which shows a great financial windfall obtained
from your hard work and devotion. All of the
months leading up to now were well worth it as
your new frame of mind to spend on a budget has
prepared you to handle your finances this time
around and put you in a better financial situation for
many years to come.
Jupiter is in your 10th house (honors, awards and
achievements) indicating a powerful switch in your
career status. A promotion or some sort of notoriety
is very likely now. Anything you pitch will be well
received.
Uranus is in your 5th house (creativity) which
may hinder any projects you are working on in the
creative field. You’ll still succeed with landing the
account but you may end up doing do at a financial
cost to yourself due to miscommunications or false
expectations you had.
There will be unexpected costs involving children
in February. Either your own children, niece or
nephew or a friends child you are extremely close
with just like they were part of your family. This
child will approach you with a request for money
or an item that costs money and it’s detrimental to
either their future education or their career so you
give in and give them whatever it is that they need.
It may be a minor setback financially for you, but
an endeavor you need to take and one that will be
gratefully appreciated in years ahead.
Do not change jobs in January or February as you
will not be looking clearly at all the pitfalls this
new job could create. The grass isn’t greener on
the other side in this case. Something’s are being
hidden from you on purpose which is skewing
your judgment, allowing you to believe it’s the best
opportunity for you, but trust that it is not.
Stay alert with those close to you, family friends
and colleagues as someone is about to attack at
your weakest moment. Mars is in your 12th house
(of secrets) and someone whom you thought was
true to you is far from it and getting ready to sue
you by using their inside advise against you. Or
possibly someone is backstabbing you and talking
behind your back as a defaming your character to
your higher ups in order for them to get you out of
their way so that they can capitalize on the position
you are in. Stay confident and positive as you will
overcome this shady person and show their true
colors which in turn only makes you shine brighter
and it all backfires on this individual.
CAPRICORN
Born December 22 – January 20:
January will have Jupiter aligned in a perfect
position bringing you luck to follow your dreams
you have of a career/path you are very passionate
about or even one you aren’t even aware of but
will soon learn to find it is what you’re meant to
be doing. You may be planning a long distance trip
to a destination you’ve been wanting to go to but
hadn’t had the time....now is the time. This long
distance trip, or possibly even just long distance
communications with someone from afar will be
beneficial for fulfilling your dreams. This could be
the start of your new life/destiny that will get you to
greater heights than you had ever imagined.
Early January you will receive some unsettling
news about a real estate or housing matter that
needs your attention and you’ll be notified of
things that need to be fixed right away. Possibly a
deal you recently closed on didn’t have the proper
documents signed or recorded correctly, or maybe
news of having to house a relative or put a parent
in a nursing home or a settlement from a divorce
being held up due to unforeseen circumstances.
It will come about sudden with no indication in
sight that would have allowed you to be prepared
for it on a conscious level, but just keep your cool.
Everything will work out just fine if you handle the
situation amicably and with great detail to get the
task at hand completed in a timely manner.
Money looks to be coming in around early February,
possibly from an earned commission or a loan you
recently applied for. This will be a time to budget
as a lot of money will be exchanging hands and you
need to be prepared to budget your finances.
In early February Venus will be in Capricorn and
Mars will be in Scorpio indicating your social status
will heighten and your social life will be full of
activities. You will be romantically involved with
another or many others (if single) and there’s an
aura about you drawing other towards you during
this time. You will definitely feel the energy that
you are admired by many.
February and March will have you re-analyzing
your current friendships/acquaintances and reevaluating
what they really bring to the table. You
begin to see peoples true colors for what they really
are and find its time to eliminate some people from
your life. Not to be on a negative note, but to burden
yourself from the toxic energy they are bringing to
your life. Out with the old and in with the new.

ZodiSCOPES
ZodiSCOPES
AQUARIUS
Born January 20 – March 18:
January will have you thinking very seriously about your career and different avenues you should take to advance further. You’ve outgrown your current position and
feel as if you’ve been “stuck” in a never ending monotonous path doing something you’re good at but not passionate about. Mars is in your tenth house of fame and
honors and bring about the courage you’ve been needing to make a transition in your career path. January 13th indicates a generous commission headed your way as
Jupiter is bringing about good fortune financially. Be careful not to make and drastic changed in January during Mercury Retrograde. January is a time to get the wheels
in motion for action you will take in February and March.
You have a solid bond with your partner/love interest and are sincere friends, they will bring you news in February that will have you jumping up and down with joy.
Maybe you’re expecting a baby, possibly they told you they are approved for a loan you both had been waiting on for money to come in or something as simple as them
telling you how much they deeply care for you. The full moon passing through Leo on January 23rd will have your relationship challenged as your partner/love interest
is feeling neglected and isn’t shy about voicing their concerns to you. Handle it with care, we’re still in mercury retrograde until the 25th so what you say could have
detrimental impacts if not handled with care and mindfulness.
The solar eclipse that occurred on Sept 1, 2015 was in your eight house (partners finances), and while you’re not typically one to loan money to a friend or love interest,
you felt obligated to help them out over the past few months making an exception to your rule because you trust this individual. The early part of this year you will find
that your generosity and kindness will pay off with immense gratitude from the individual in which you helped out. Your kind deeds have not gone unnoticed and this
individual greatly appreciated all you had done and wants to give back to you. This experience of getting back what you put out is restoring your faith in others and
opens you up to feel good about helping others, but be careful not to get overly generous. This individual is a rare gem, not everyone is as grateful, so stay cautious as
this is your best financial attribute Aquarius.
Lately you have been concerned about a medical issue that you have kept to yourself because you’re worried but January is the month to address this concern and speak
to others about it rather than sweeping it under the rug. Speak with a therapist or a close friend who can help you and support you with this concern that scares you and
saddens you at the same time. Talking things over with another person will bring you a new perspective and ease your mind by helping you see it’s not as bad as you
think it is.
PISCES
Born February 19 – March 20:
Your finances have been up and down lately but starting in January you will begin to see a positive shift. Money will come to you mid January, money that is owed to you,
that you earned but never thought you’d receive. Jupiter will be in perfect alignment with The Sun on January 13th and this indicates money is on its way. This will be a
prosperous month for you. Also, Venus is in your tenth house of career until the end of January and this is indicating sudden news of unexpected money headed your way.
February or March you will be traveling, taking a much needed getaway vacation and in the mist of the relaxation you will connect with very influential people who are
put in your path to assist you with your career growth. Most Pisces are self employed, so the news you were hoping to receive to take your business to the next level have
set their wheels in motion.
The new moon in Capricorn on Jan 9th is passing through your 11th house of friendship, hopes and wishes. Also accompanied by The Sun, Pluto and Mercury all in
Capricorn (the ruler of Saturn) indicating a lot of socializing and invitations to events by successful happy people that will help to further your career. Saturn is in your
10th house of fame, notoriety and grand ambitions. And Jupiter (a planet of luck and happiness) is in a great alignment with this new moon. This indicates that you will be
a social butterfly and all the networking and social activities you are involved in now will have a major impact on your career over the coming months. Friends of friends
will want to link you up with important individuals that will assist in furthering your career.
Early February to early March, with Mars is in your 9th house (interactions with foreign people and places) is aligned with Neptune, your ruling planet (planet of dreams
and creativity) indicating much success for you through publishing, media (tv/broadcasting) and the internet via social media where someone will come to you/reach out
to you asking you to write a story or be on tv/radio to discuss a topic in a field you are very passionate about and thought of as the expert in your field.
You’ll re-connect with a friend from years ago and collaborate together on a business plan you will both discussed at one point but set aside due to it not being the right
time. Now is the time and you will both benefit from this endeavor.
January 13th will bring about excellent news that you have wanted to hear from your partner/love interest. The two of you are both going through a very positive transition
right now and may even take a step towards a deeper commitment that you have put on hold. A business collaboration with them is very likely in February as you both
feed off of one another’s energy to motivate and push the other to extraordinary achievements. More of a balance in power and friendship is growing to bring you closer.
You’re both very optimistic about the year ahead.

HISTORY OF THE OSCARS® RESENTATION
When the first Academy Awards® were handed out on May
16, 1929, at an Academy banquet in the Blossom Room of the
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, movies had just begun to talk. The
attendance was 270 and guest tickets cost $5. It was a long
banquet, filled with speeches, but presentation of the statuettes
was handled expeditiously by Academy President Douglas
Fairbanks.
The suspense that now touches most of the world at Oscar®
time was not always acharacteristic of the Awards presentation.
That first year, the award recipients were announced to the public
three months ahead of the ceremony. For the next decade, the
results were given in advance to newspapers for publication at
11 p.m. on the night of the Awards. But in 1940, much to the
Academy’s dismay, the Los Angeles Times broke the embargo
and announced the winning achievements in its evening edition,
which was readily available to guests arriving for the event. As
a result, the Academy adopted the sealed-envelope system the
next year, and the system remains in use today.
Since the earliest years, interest in the Oscars® has run high,
if not at the modern fever pitch. The first presentation was the
only one to escape a media audience; by the second year,
enthusiasm for the Awards was such that a Los Angeles radio
station actually did a live one hour broadcast from the event. The
ceremony has had broadcast coverage ever since.
There have been only three circumstances that prevented the
Academy Awards presentation from going off as scheduled.
The first was in 1938, when destructive floods all but washed
out Los Angeles and delayed the ceremony one week. In 1968
the Awards ceremony was postponed from April 8 to April 10
out of respect for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who had been
assassinated a few days earlier, and whose funeral was held on
April 9. In 1981 the Awards were postponed for 24 hours because
of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. In
2003, when U.S. forces invaded Iraq the Thursday before the
telecast, the show went on, but the red carpet was limited to the
area immediately in front of the theater entrance, the red carpet
bleachers were eliminated and the bulk of the world’s press was
not able to photograph or interview guests as they arrived. In
2004 the red carpet returned in all its glitz and glamour.
Attendance at the Oscars ceremony is
by invitation only. No tickets are put on
public sale.
Achievements in up to 24 regular
categories will be honored on February
28, 2016, at the 88th Oscars® presentation
at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood &
Highland Center®. However, the Academy
won’t know how many statuettes it will
actually hand out until the envelopes
are opened on Oscar Night®. Although
the number of categories will be known
prior to the ceremony, the possibility of
ties and of multiple recipients sharing
the prize in some categories makes the
exact number of Oscar statuettes to be
presented unpredictable. As in previous
years, any surplus awards will be housed
in the Academy’s vault until next year’s
event.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE OSCAR®
Since the initial awards banquet on May 16, 1929, in the
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Blossom Room, over 3,000
statuettes have been presented.
The statuette stands 131/2 inches tall and weighs a robust 81/2
pounds. The design of the statuette has never changed from
its original conception, but the size of the base varied until the
present standard was adopted in 1945. Officially named the
Academy Award® of Merit, the statuette is better known by its
nickname, Oscar, the origins of which aren’t clear.
The 15 statuettes presented at the initial ceremonies were
gold-plated solid bronze. Within a few years the bronze was
abandoned in favor of britannia metal, a pewter-like alloy,
which made it easier to give the statuettes their smooth finish.
Because of the metals shortage
during World War II, Oscars® were made of painted plaster
for three years. Following the war, all of the awarded plaster
figures were exchanged for gold-plated metal ones.
The Oscar statuette is the most recognized award in the world.
Its success as a symbol of achievement in filmmaking would
doubtless amaze those who attended that dinner more than 80
years ago, as well as its designer, Cedric Gibbons.

WHAT’S UP IN THE SKY?
CELESTIAL EVENTS
JANUARY - MARCH 2016
CELESTIAL EVENTS JANUARY - MARCH 2016
JANUARY
January 3, 4 - Quadrantids Meteor Shower - The
Quadrantids is an above average shower, with up
to 40 meteors per hour at its peak. The shower
runs annually from January 1-5. It peaks this year
on the night of the 3rd and morning of the 4th.
January 5-25 - Mercury Retrograde - Mercury
Retrograde begins on January 5th at 1° Aquarius,
and goes direct on January 25th at 14° Capricorn.
This Mercury retrograde will be one of the most
challenging in a long time. Intense battles of beliefs
will lead to greater chaos, intolerance and aggression.
FEBRUARY
February 7 - Mercury at Greatest Western Elongation.
The planet Mercury reaches greatest western
elongation of 25.6 degrees from the Sun. This is the
best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest
point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for
the planet low in the eastern sky just before sunrise.
MARCH
March 8 - Jupiter at Opposition. The giant planet will
be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be
fully illuminated by the Sun. It will be brighter than
any other time of the year and will be visible all night
long. This is the best time to view and photograph
Jupiter and its moons. A medium-sized telescope
should be able to show you some of the details in
Jupiter’s cloud bands. A good pair of binoculars
should allow you to see Jupiter’s four largest moons,
appearing as bright dots on either side of the planet.
March 9 - New Moon
March 9 - Total Solar Eclipse. A total solar eclipse
occurs when the moon completely blocks the Sun,
revealing the Sun’s beautiful outer atmosphere
known as the corona. The path of totality will only
be visible in parts of central Indonesia and the

Year of the Monkey
By Timothy Umney
The Chinese New Year of the Monkey will start on February 8, 2016.
In the traditional Chinese Astrology, the Monkey is very intelligent, hyperactive and strong-minded. He represents the unfettered mind
freed from inhibitions and guilt. Relieving himself from the heavy burdens of a touchy conscience, the Monkey type will not hesitate to
test his theories, experiment and think the unthinkable. In his domain, everything is possible. What is difficult, he could do right away;
what is impossible may take a little longer.
The positive and negative quality of The Year of The Monkey 2016
The influence of the Monkey puts everything into motion. Things will get accomplished, but largely through personal and individual
efforts. Group movements, such as political upheaval or revolutions, will not make a mark during this year.
This animal (the monkey) bursts with exuberance, bringing a lightning fast pace and an unbelievable amount of motivation. The Monkey
increases communication, humor and wit, helping us get through stressful times with grace and ease. Business flourishes and risks tend
to pan out. The Monkey’s gift is the ability to find unconventional solutions to old problems. Daring to be different can lead to success.
Talk is cheap though, so be on the alert for deceptions. With so much mental energy around, everyone needs to re-think their fitness
program, diet and health plan. If you don’t have one, you definitely need to instigate some form of regular physical activity this year.
It’ll be a lively, optimistic and progressive year where finances, politics, and real estate should see an upturn, there will be a decided
undercurrent of insecurity. Everyone wants to work the shrewdest angle, get the best deal, and win big. However, business decisions
made this year should be based on fact, not emotion. Problems can still arise, so nothing this year should be taken for granted, whether
politically, financially, professionally, domestically or emotionally.
A particularly promising time for new inventions, the Year of the Monkey is for taking risks and being rebellious, a year where agile,
inventive minds, sheer guts and bravado will win out. Now is the time of courage, action, anarchy, and true devotion to even the wildest
of schemes, a time to start new endeavors, for they are destined to succeed under Monkey’s influence.
The Year Of The Monkey 2016 is a time for planting the seeds in a new venture, embracing new business concepts, creating new
inventions and the confidence to forge ahead.
This year will reward the individual effort, those who are doing things independently. And those who place their trust in a team or a
group effort, will face disappointment.

Q
ZoditastrophyBy: Styla Jones
I’m a Scorpio and have my eye on a certain Leo. I’m
curious to know if it’s a compatible sign.
We sort-of-know each other through work but have
not gone out. He is extremely handsome and is
always flirting with me every chance he gets. I can
tell he’s into me but neither of us have made the time
outside of work to get together yet because of our
hectic schedules. Before I invest too much thought
on him I wanted to see what the stars show. Is he
worth my time, is a Leo my soul mate sign?
I have never actually dated a Leo, but I have dated
an Aries which is another fire sign so I walk with
caution since Leo is a fire sign too. The Aries I was
with was bossy and controlling and only absorbed
with his work with no time for me. I don’t want to
make the same mistake again wasting time getting
to know someone to find out he’s not even remotely
close to being compatible for my sign. I’m a true
Scorpio through and through.
I follow all of the Scorpion traits I’ve read about
so I know my faults and high points but not sure
about Leo’s. Any insight you could provide about a
relationship with a Scorpio and a Leo I’d appreciate.
Thank you.

Dear Rebecca,
Leo rules the house of romance and affairs (the Fifth House) and
Scorpio rules the house of sexual intimacy and lust (the Eighth
House). Both signs are extremely passionate, making this the anchor
of their relationship. Beyond that, unfortunately, these two signs have
no other reason to be together. They constantly battle over who’s the
boss and dominant one in the relationship and that will make this
volatile pairing almost impossible.
Scorpios are motivated when it comes to business and have a true
entrepreneur spirit about them. They are innovative, very creative
and extremely hard workers. They will often feel that a Leo is a lazy
individual, always waiting for someone else to do the work for them
while they get credit. They think that Leo’s arrogance to delegate
everything to others shows their lack of interest in anything of
substance.
Leos are very demanding and expect things done their way and
require constant praise and admiration but a Scorpion will not stand
for this. A Scorpio will not take orders from anyone, especially not
their partner they are in a relationship with. And a Scorpio doesn’t
want to be forced to complement someone just to keep them happy,
they prefer to give genuine & sincere compliments.
Scorpios are great listeners and attentive but in return they expect the
same from their partner, fair is fair. But there’s no way that a Leo will
stop being self-consumed enough to cater to the Scorpios emotional
needs. Leo’s are too self-absorbed most of the time to even care what
their partner is talking about.
While the sex and lust for one another is strong, this pair can never
last outside of the bedroom. They are two domineering personalities
with their own set of rules that do not complement one another at all.
This pair may be fun for a fling, but nothing more.
With that said Rebecca, I’d advise not wasting your time with this
one.

Sunrises and Sunsets
New Year’s resolutions are a long-held tradition, marking
new beginnings and renewed commitments for more of what we
hope for, but fell short of achieving in the years prior. Marked
with motivation and newfound pledges, the best of resolutions
often fade to the wayside by February.
So this year, how about a New Year’s resolution that makes
the top of the list for priorities, is guaranteed to be personally
enriching, and is met with complete success in just two months?
Instead of planning your life, how about planning your death!?
We often spend so much time focusing on specific goals, that
we easily overlook the omnipresent aspect of our life... agingand
ultimately being a conscious participant in our own future
passing. Acknowledging these two inevitable realities creates
a wonderful opportunity to personally define your destiny for
gracious and dynamic aging, while thoughtfully putting your
signature on the specific details of your future providence. It’s
letting your body and your spirit depart on YOUR own terms.
However, final-affairs planning is also an incredibly important
component of your existing life affairs today. It’s far more than
just matters such as advance care planning aspects, advance
directives, and your Last Will and Testament. It’s really about
having peace of mind while you are living!
Done right, it is a rewarding personal journey, involving a multilayered
approach that creates an opportunity for heartening
growth, transcendence into new levels of higher consciousness,
and confidence that your desires will be carried forth as you
deem them. It’s a chance to set the record straight, to un-clutter
your conscience, and define the legacy YOU wish to leave.
By Holley Kelley
The New Year’s Resolution With Flair,
Finesse And FUNctionality Creating
A New Peace Of Mind
Instead of planning your life this January, how about planning your death--ENJOYABLY!?
When your affairs are in order, you have distinguished your
future in spectacular detail, as well as eased unnecessary
burdens from your loved ones. Doing so provides the perfect
opportunity to do a house-cleaning self-reflection, to relive
what is special and unique about your life, to leave behind a
distinctive written legacy that serves as a virtual and meaningful
remembrance of you. It is a way to avoid familial discord, by
making important decisions about your life and preferencesutilizing
dependable faculties and sound mind. When finalaffairs
planning is purposefully embraced, it makes the second
half of life more rewarding, happier and more deeply soulful.
Consider taking these actions as part of your 2015 Final
Affairs resolutions:
• Creating a bucket list is a wonderful exercise,
allowing you to identify life pursuits and interests you dream of
experiencing. It serves as a blueprint for future fulfillment and
adventure! Furthermore, it’s a way for you to truly express your
soul-driven desires.
• But, what is equally important is the “kick-the-bucket
list;” defining anything that must transpire so that you can
consciously and virtuously solidify your life’s passage with
genuine peace and comfort. Such items include resolving
long-held feuds, making peace or amends, asking forgiveness
from yourself or others. The point is to ensure you remain in
complete concord with yourself and those you care about.
Completing a bucket list and a “kick-the-bucket” list can be a
revitalizing and liberating experience, providing surprisingly
new opportunities for spiritually-enlightened living.
• Funeral planning is another area of importance
and allows you to design every detail regarding your life
celebration. This soul-soothing exercise can be really
enjoyable, allowing you to personally create your own
farewell-one that really reflects your self-expression--a
last “themed” festivity for instance, or something with
special nuance (think doves, butterflies, uplifting music
choices from your life history). Let this be a connection to
your living heart and your everlasting spirit.
• Well-orchestrated, pre-determined funerals
encourage healing and heartfelt remembrance for those
left behind. Wise funeral planning also includes writing
your own obituary, a reflective task that tells the world who
you are, who you love and what is significant about your
amazing life. You’d be surprised to see the immeasurable
gratitude this elicits from your survivors!
• From family trees, archiving family history, to
logging important family medical information and financial
information-each is a vital and unique piece of the final
affairs planning puzzle-including itemizing meaningful
personal mementos, family heirlooms and sharing
family customs. Defining who gets what in advance can
circumvent family quarrels and conflict because wishes
have been clearly conveyed. Planning and recording all
these matters in advance prevents indecision, infighting,
and hurt feelings that often plague families.
• In “putting your house in order,” this presents
a perfect opportunity to also release those items you no
longer need, that don’t contribute to your joy and welfare
any more, and that would only be left for your family to
sort through and discard. Find other places (shelters,
thrift shops, direct donations to others, etc.)---where
your “things” can be loved and appreciated--a wonderful
uplifting feeling knowing they have gone on to bring joy to
someone else. And a relief to your survivors!
• While there are many areas of comprehensive
final affairs planning, one area not to overlook is sharing
your wishes with your family and medical providers. This
is one of the most important aspects related to your
planning endeavors.
• Yet, there is also a chance for you to impact
not only your own healing, but the healing of your loved
ones. Besides leaving a written legacy of your life for
them to have as a warm and loving memorial to you,
there is an opportunity to write letters to individual family
members and friends, a beautiful “gift” to those you love,
when you are no longer present to do so. Explanations of
your decisions, wishes for their future, encouragement,
wisdom, requests for family to stay connected, letters to
the future bride or grandchildren yet to be born.... You can
impact their lives long after you are gone.
In writing my book, Sunrises and Sunsets, Final Affairs
Forged with Flair, Finesse, and FUNctionality, I was
determined to take the trepidation out of end-of-life
planning and actually make the process engaging and
fun. The secret recipe for richer enjoyment and deeper
satisfaction is ensuring all areas of advance care
planning are achieved now...well before the crisis point.
Completing these important initiatives must be done while
you are capable of making these paramount decisions
independently and with a positive and optimistic outlook.
The best time to plan for later is now. Doing so certainly
allows for renewed spiritual advancement and encourages
familial elevation in incomparable ways. It’s the ideal way
to start 2016!

REACHING
FOR INSIGHTS
Stories of Love, Faith, and
the Kitchen Sink
Reaching for Insights: Stories of Love, Faith, and the Kitchen Sink
is Mitch Rosenzweig’s thoughtful collection of rich vignettes that is
meaningful for people seeking inspiration, self-care, and a new way of
looking themselves and how they navigate life’s daily challenges. With
more than 200 brief essays penned from the author’s personal and
professional observations and experiences, there is something relateable
for anyone within this motivational treasure. At its core, this unique
and charming book attempts to access that well-defended sense of
self. The writings always start by looking at an ordinary situation, one
that most people can relate to-such as the angst of hosting the family
gathering for Thanksgiving, or getting lost from an errant GPS, or
the neighbor’s dog that incessantly barks-and then, through a twist,
a play on words, an analogy or a metaphor, reaching a different-but
meaningful-conclusion.
It’s a back-door approach to self-awareness and self-care that avoids
all of the disapproving junk that we all carry around. Although not
necessarily a life-changing shift, it helps to think about something in a
different way. This opens up new vistas for understanding and behavior.
By: Mitch Rosenzweig
do to make money, but what we are all about. Simple messages
that convey our values and character. Just reach into your
pocket and pass it out. It certainly would cut down on the
guessing and confusion.
What would your card say? Would it be covered in 6-point
font with all the things you think you are-barely readable,
but comprehensive? Would it include your life roles, such as
husband, wife, father or mother? Would it show an important
value or quality-like optimistic, or “I believe”? Perhaps it
would show your wishes or dreams. The possibilities are
seemingly endless. But of course, the more you cram on it the
more confusing it gets.
I know what mine would say. Clean and simple, with no flowery
distractions. Simple black and white type, with the largest font
that would fit. It would encompass everything I am and that I
value. Five words would say it all. With apologies to Descartes,
it would simply say: I care, therefore I am. What’s in your
pocket?
Now You Have Everything
At my house, everybody used to help out. And it seems it may be that way around the world. Why, it’s is almost
as much of a tradition as the meal itself. After hours of fussing in the kitchen and an equal amount of feasting,
laughing, and dessert-eating we all seemed to bond again around getting the remains cleaned up. The table
had been so full there was barely room for our plates. A dish for everything - and everything delicious. But with
all the anticipation and most of the food gone, the used dishes were piled on every surface and overflowing. From
fine china to burnt bean casserole, the debris was everywhere. You would have thought we fed the 7th Marines.
We didn’t have a dishwasher; we had five of them - and dryers too. Wrap, box, bag and put away the
leftovers and scale the mountain of dishes. Scrape, soak, wash, rinse, dry and put away. It seemed
endless. Although the work wasn’t enjoyable, we had fun, all laughing and smiling, everyone pitching
in, almost dancing in the kitchen. And just when you thought the last dish was done, a few more
would magically appear. It was hot and sweaty, but we didn’t mind... we were family.
In the joyful moments we forget about all the hard work that it took to get us to the feast and the challenges
that still await. For some, that may be the holiday buffet in our homes. For others, it is the promise of eternal
salvation. Either way, it takes work to get there. And there will always be dirty dishes left over from our banquet.
So as you plan and prepare in your life, wash away what is done and move toward your potential. Go
ahead and use a new dish for each of your accomplishments and challenges - there is plenty of room
on the table. It will all fit. When your day is done, take time to clean up and be grateful for those that
have helped you enjoy your buffet. Our feast is nothing more than a sandwich without them. Without
love we would certainly starve. And there is no such thing as unwanted leftovers of love.
When I think back on those long gone days it is not the dishes I remember. It’s the joy of
being together. Gathered around the kitchen sink, we washed ourselves clean of any other
junk that remained. And we had piles and piles of potential in the clean.
Heaven may have an amazing buffet, but I sure hope that it has dirty dishes. Gather around and
grab a cloth. Together, we can get it done. We can’t have everything without the kitchen sink.
The author’s candor and light-hearted approach, combined with simple
language and a dry sense of humor draws in the reader. Collectively
these stories remind us that we are not alone in our daily situations and
struggles. They encourage readers to view even the most mundane
parts of life from a different perspective, one that inspires them to
see life’s challenges and celebrations in a new light.
Rosenzweig has been a licensed Clinical Social Worker and
Psychotherapist for more than 25 years. Currently, he is working for the
Air Force in Washington State, helping active duty military servicemen
and servicewomen with their life challenges. Mitch holds a BA in
Psychology from Rutgers University and a Master’s in Social Work
from the University of Michigan.
Enjoy the following sample essays..........
Get Carded
Every place I worked, I would get new ones. If I had kept one
of each business card, I could have probably wallpapered my
house. Even though they all they were all the same, they were
different. Each was unique in color, photos, and design. But
in their essence, the function is the same: to proclaim, to the
lucky receiver, who you are and what you do, in tiny 6-point
font. Yup, in 3.5 x 2 inches, you’re supposed to say everything
someone needs to know about you.
How often we spend our time trying to figure out people. What
makes them tick-why would they act this way or that way, or
say something like that? We receive all kinds of messages, most
of the time mixed, about who they are trying to be or what they
are trying to communicate.
How simple life would be if we could just walk up to someone
and hand them a card that would say it all. Not what it is we
The Zone
At the gym, some of the equipment has them built right in;
you just grab them and they tell you all kinds of information.
Ideally, you are supposed to be at a certain heart rate,
to maximize your efforts. But to actually get an accurate
reading you either have to stop what you’re doing or, like me,
hold on to the handles for dear life until it registers. Without
them, it seems next to impossible to tell your heart rate or
pulse. Just because you’re tired or out of breath doesn’t mean
your workout has been effective. Too fast or too slow and you
are not in the critical zone.
Many of us spend our days trying to chillaxe, relax, detox,
and meditate away life’s challenges. Many things seem to
assault us each day that we need to overcome, get over, or
run away from. We seek solace in our own unique ways to get
rid of whatever the yuck might be. We dream of trouble-free
white sand beaches and tropical breezes. It is one of the most
common things discussed in counseling: how to let go and let
life. Many of us aren’t very good at it.
But if we spin too fast we burn more than calories. We wear
ourselves out from being on the edge of spent. And a life of
meditation offers no opportunity for growth or love. Without
things that make our heart race, we just exist fat and
unhappy. We are born to seize opportunities, risky or not, to
achieve our maximum potential. That moment when you first
know love, the exuberance of finding your purpose and “aha”
of understanding: these are the sweet spots of the critical zone.
Do one thing a day that scares you, something that thrills
you, settles you, and expresses your love and you will find your
sweet spot and achieve maximum potential.
Superman and Elvis Did, Too
I felt like Elvis, swiveling my hip into the slightly stuck front door; my hands were
full in my superhuman feat of carrying 14 plastic grocery bags in from the car.
Real men don’t make two trips. As it swung in a bit too fast, I heard a satisfying
“boing” and the door swung angrily back at me, knob into ribs. Ouch! Doorstop
must have been loaded and waiting for the unsuspecting. Although it saved
the wall from the hole-inserting doorknob, my ribs are a little offended
from its anger. A softer rebound and a louder expletive and I was inside.
Of course, we all know the metaphors about doors and the future. One open,
one shut, on the threshold, etcetera, etcetera...I confess that I have cheaply
used them a few times. Yawn. But what about the lowly doorstop silently
waiting for that flung door? No poems or prose written, it just sits there slightly
screwed waiting for its opportunity to serve. I am sure that none even give it a
second thought unless they have hound-dog hips and hit the door too hard.
But I am grateful for the doorstops in my world. Being a seeker and
adventurer, I always fling open doors. Forget the timid peek, let’s
rock that door open and see what is on the other side. Screaming fans,
adulation, love me tender? I am in! Well that is, until I go too hard
or too fast and then it’s nothing but heartbreak and bruised ribs.
Your doorstops are as important as your doors. They are there to stop you
when you go too far and prevent you from doing too much damage. They
serve to ground you when you go too fast and spring back with reality when you
think you are Superman or Elvis. Yet, they don’t inhibit your swinging groove and
are totally invisible when you are moving at the right speed. I am grateful to my
doorstops in life-mom, my family, and my faith for helping to slow me down when I go
too fast. A little poke in the ribs reminds me that I am not Superman, just plain ‘ole me.
But every once in a while I make the perfect entrance, and I can hear the
loudspeaker announcing, “Elvis has entered the building.”

If You’re In A Relationship – Then It Is *Not*
Okay For Him To Have Other Woman In His
Life
Noone Should Take Priority Over You Just
Because He Labels Them “Friends”!
If your man has close female friends that he
stays in constant communication with: It’s time
to move on! He doesn’t know what he wants.
He’s still trying to figure himself out.
Regardless of their Zodiac sign, men are
admired by many women because of their
arrogance and ego, their stability, or even their
caring sensitive side that every woman wants
to have in their lives. But a man’s ego is what
makes him need to receive a lot of attention
from many women and surround himself with
many female “friends”. Without the attention he
feels as if something is missing and will doubt
himself, his attractiveness, dominance and
position in his life.
Sadly, the reason these woman are okay with
being just close “friends” is because they too
are insecure and need the attention. Plus, most
woman want what they can’t have so they stick
around him hoping for some sort of commitment
even though they know he’s in a relationship
and he put them in the friend zone for now; they
still haven’t given up hope since the chase is
fun for them, hoping one day to conquer. These
“so called friends” are really just his admirers
trying to break into his sensitive side, the side
you, as his girlfriend get to see when he feels
comfortable with you and lets his guard down.
It’s quite possible that these female “friends”
have broken through to see his sensitive side too
or maybe it’s part of his suave approach to draw
them in by giving a little but not all and that just
draws them into him even more with false hope
of what may be if they can get him to commit
to them and choose them over the others. Of
course they have ulterior motives, and they are
never going to be loyal to you, they want your
man’s attention and you are just an obstacle.
Even if he has no sexual attraction to them,
he has ulterior motives as well since he only
keeps them around to boost his self-esteem.
Be assured though, odds are, if he wanted
them he’d be with them. He may be sleeping
with them on the side but hasn’t committed to
them as they are just a game he’s playing to
get himself to a feel good moment where he’s
desired by many. Truth is, many men play this
game and it’s not all about ego as it is about
their extremely low self-esteem they are trying
to hide from others. If they knew themselves and
respected themselves they wouldn’t need all
the attention from every female; they wouldn’t
need the validation, all they would need is your
attention, the attention of their girlfriend they
promised to be committed to. If they respected
themselves and they cared about themselves
then they would work on building a relationship
that meant a lot to them. However some men
really aren’t sure what means a lot to them and
they are lost looking for it everywhere else then
within.
Unfortunately when he’s opening the door
to everyone and accepting their praises and
admiration he is disrespecting you and your
relationship just to satisfy his need to feel
wanted by the opposite sex. My guess is that
he’s been doing this his whole life and it’s an
addiction. He doesn’t know how to stop flirting
and getting attention, the euphoria feels great,
he loves to know other people want him because
he doesn’t see the true value in himself.
I’d suggest speaking with him openly and letting
him know how you feel disrespected and how it
makes you question your relationship and his
loyalty to you when he’s giving as much, if not
more attention to the
people he barely even
knows just for a small
return of attention from
them. If he tells you that
you’re over-reacting
and they are his friends,
stop being jealous, you
need to deal with it, or
anything other than he’s
sorry and will change
to please you and work
on strengthening your
relationship, then it’s
time for you to move on.
It’s a toxic relationship
and he cares more
about his self-fulfilling
needs then he cares
about you.
Beware
of DATING
a Man With
Female “FRIends”
By Natasha Myers
In order for any relationship to work there needs
to be boundaries. No man needs a handful of
female friends while he is in a relationship. He
should be getting all the attention he needs
with his partner and giving all of himself to his
partner… not to other women outside of the
relationship he’s wanting to grow and deepen.
Having friends/acquaintances of the opposite
sex is totally fine but boundaries need to be
drawn. It is NOT okay for him to share things
with his female friends as he would with his
male friends, it is NOT okay for him to ask
his female friends for advice about his current
relationship and it is definitely NOT okay for him
to pay more attention to his female friend then
he does to his partner.
Bottom line is; if you address your concerns
with him and he sees nothing wrong with it and
is unwilling to change his ways to make you
feel secure and confident in your relationship
then he is not the man for you. A man you see
yourself spending your life with or even just a
portion of your life with should not make you
feel any type of negative way what-so-ever.
You should never doubt where you stand with
him nor should you feel like you come second
fiddle to another person. He should never give
you a reason to question his love or doubt his
loyalty. If your views are different and neither
of you will reach a compromise (not his way or
no way), then it’s not a relationship nor is there
any respect. Move on. You’ll know if he truly
loves you when he wants to make you happy
no matter what. Those female “friends” should
not be his priority nor should he care how
they will feel if he stops speaking with him.
YOU should be his #1 priority at all times, no
one else. You are the one he asked to be his
girlfriend, the one he committed to and has to
take responsibility to honor that commitment
or not be in a relationship.
His only concern should be how you feel as
that’s the only way you will know you have a
strong and solid relationship that will last. A
man that is emotionally detached is only that
way because he has yet to find himself. As the
age old saying goes “you need to love yourself
before you can ever love another”. There are
no truer words as these are words to live by.
To hurt another person because you don’t
know yourself yet is just mean and selfish.
So in my opinion, no, you are not the crazy
jealous insecure girlfriend! All you are asking
of your partner is his partnership, true love,
commitment, loyalty and respect. These
are the things that make a relationship a
relationship. If these things are missing, then
it’s not a relationship. It’s just a temporary
lusting and control over each other. Move on,
life’s too short to fix others or mold them how
you want them to be. Eventually you’ll find the
right man, the one who values you so much
that he can’t imagine his life without you and
NO GIRL WANTS A GUY WHO FLIRTS WITH EVERYONE
SHE WANTS TO FEEL SPECIAL
SHE WANTS TO BE THE ONLY LOVE IN YOUR LIFE
If you’re that guy that really believes you have a “real friendship” with
other females and want to keep her around in your life but still be in
your relationship with your girlfriend then you should ask yourself these
questions and see if it’s acceptable or not. Odds are you’re holding on
to these female “friends for the wrong reason and trying to justify/lie to
yourself and others on why you keep them around.
Advice/Reality Check For Men:
If You Want To Make A Relationship Work and Grow With Your
Girlfriend...Then Lose the Female “Friends”
Have you ever slept with this female “friend”? Like ever? Even if it was
years ago and haven’t since but at some point of knowing her have you
had sex or made out?
If the answer is yes, then by no means what-so-ever is it morally okay for
you to continue the friendship with this female while you are in a committed
relationship with your girlfriend.
Is your female friend single? Or is she in a committed, stable and
secure relationship with someone? Is she genuinely happy in her life
with her boyfriend/significant other or are their highs and lows?
If she is single or in an unhappy relationship and not tied down emotionally
to another then no it is not okay for you to still be part of her life as “friends”
when you’re in a committed relationship with your girlfriend. Girls know that
another female will always rebound with the man they are closest to and
your girlfriend is not okay with you being the side guy to emotionally support
and comfort another woman other than her.
Does your female “friend” dislike your girlfriend for no reason other
than she’s another female in your life? Does your female friend find
faults with every one of your girlfriends and voice her opinion to you
as to why you shouldn’t be with them other than giving solid advice
backed up with facts to support her genuine concern to you as a friend?
Some female “friends” may secretly have a thing for you and they really do
not want to see you in a relationship. Even though they may not want to be
with you on that level they don’t want to lose the attention you are giving to
them. These friends need to go! You cannot keep them around as they will
never be a supportive friend and will have ulterior motives that will be toxic
to your relationship with your girlfriend.
Does your girlfriend genuinely dislike your female friend? Does she tell
you that this female friend has motives that you are blinded by and that
she doesn’t feel comfortable with you having her around?
In this case you need to side with your girlfriend. If she is the one you want
to be with and see yourself growing together with, then you must end your
so called “friendship“ with the other female as it will only cause tension in
your relationship. You need to decide if this is the girl you want to be with
or if you’re okay just being single and holding onto your female “friend” who
admires you and boosts your self-esteem.
will always make you his #1 priority no matter
what!
Men with female “friends” while still in a
relationship aren’t bad horrible people. They
are just lost and looking for answers within
themselves. They are emotionally detached
because they haven’t yet found out who they
are and what they want. So in order to be fair
to both of you; if you can’t compromise and
work on fixing this insecurity he’s dealing
with and the insecurity he’s bringing into your
relationship by making you have doubts; then
it’s time to let him go so he can find himself
and so you can find the REAL relationship that
you deserve and know that you want.
Is your female friend someone you knew from childhood and genuinely
a friend who supports you every step of the way and loves almost
every girlfriend you bring around and goes out of her way to get to
know your girlfriend and be as good of friends with her as she is with
you? Does your female “friend” act more like your homeboy who could
care less that you’re dating as long as you’re happy and always makes
your girlfriend feel part of the group and wanted around?
In this case she may genuinely be your friend and make your girlfriend feel at
ease. However, remember to still hold respect for your girlfriend at all times
so she never doubts your intentions with this female “friend”. Don’t ever go
out with this female “friend” without inviting your girlfriend too. Don’t ever pay
more attention to your female “friend” in front of your girlfriend and do not
constantly bring her up. Your girlfriend may tolerate her but truth is she’s only
compromising because she loves you;
Things you should Never EVER do with a female “friend” if you
are in a relationship that you want to work:
** Do not spend special occasions like holidays with your female
“friend” without your girlfriend there and orchestrating the event
** Never go out on a date-like outing such as movies or dinner or fill in
as a guest to a wedding or work party with your female “friend”.
** Do not go on road trips with your female “friend”, that’s too much
alone time together with “her”
** You may never ever ever crash at your female “friends” house.
Sleepovers are not acceptable ever! Not even if you are stranded
without a ride, you find a phone and call or take a cab home regardless
of how much it’ll cost. And crashing at their house because you’re out
of state and they live there is not okay either.
**Do not spend the day with your female “friend” while your girlfriend
is home alone. Always invite her to go and if she declines but you
sense a vibe that she’s not comfortable with you going, then do not go!
Bottom line is, if you’re not ready to let go of these other females in your
life, then you’re not ready to have a girlfriend. It’s find to do those things
above when you are single, but they are not things a committed person
would or should ever do. A girlfriend, the one you chose and the one you
claim to want to be with, should be the only female in your life (other than
family members) as one day she may be your life companion so make her
feel loved and respected. If you’re not ready to end the female friendships
because you love the attention from these female “friends” then at this
time you need to stay single until you can find yourself and figure out what
it is you really are craving in your life to fulfill your needs.
You should not start any type of serious emotionally charged relationship
with a woman until you are prepared to give her your 100% attention,
mind, body and soul.

Lucid
Dreaming?
How Can I Take Control
of My Dreams?

A lucid dream is any dream in which you are aware that
you are dreaming. Most people wake up at the moment
they are aware it’s only a dream but there’s a way to
become an active participant in your own dreams, and
make decisions and influence the dream’s outcome
without awakening.
An example of a lucid dream would be when you’re flying and
having trouble landing, but then at some point after crashing
or bouncing back up in the sky, you realize it’s a dream and
you can control it, so you sharpen up your skills and become
a pro at it.
Another example is when you wake up but you want to
continue off from where you last started in your dream
because it was so exciting. So you close your eyes and you
try to jump back into the dream where you left off but this
time entering the dream with full awareness it’s just a dream
and changing a few things around to work out the way you
want it to.
In the lucid state, you are more willing to confront threats and
as a result, become more self-confident. You’re more aware
of what you should do and will just do it. Because brain
activity during the dream state is the same as during a real
life event, what you “learn” or “practice” in your lucid dream
state is similar to the training and preparation you do in the
waking world. Your neuro-transmitters are being conditioned.
Many dream interpreters say that most of our dreams
are our subconscious minds working out problems we
experienced in the waking world. In the dream state we are
provided with clues and hints to relate with the topic such
colors and shapes, imagery, feelings and people of different
personalities that represent something we can relate to so
when we wake up we can figure the clues out and fix our
problems . Many times we will dream the same dream over
and over again with a little tweak to it because we just aren’t
getting the message and keep following the wrong path in
our waking world. However, if we could control our dreams
and come to a positive solution and outcome, then we may
be at peace when we wake up and banish that dream lesson
and have conditioned the conscious mind to be aware of the
issue at hand.
Lucid dreaming is beneficial but often hard for some to
attempt because they are unaware of the power they have to
control a dream. We all have the power, we just need to tap
into it and utilize the many benefits.
To hone in on your ability to Lucid Dream there’s a few things
you could do to help you out and allow you to start taking
control of your dream state.
Here’s 4 Ideas to get you started with Lucid Dreaming:
1.) Try meditating and calming the mind from all of the chaotic
thoughts you have from your stressful day. Clear your mind
and feel at peace ad you relax and fade into dream state.
2.) Keep a dream journal that you write in when you awake
and the dream is fresh in your mind. Re-read this dream and
refer to it nightly before you go to sleep. This may refresh
your mind as to where you left off so you can jump back in
once you get to your dream state again.
3.) Before falling asleep repeat to yourself over and over “I
will be aware I’m dreaming, I will be aware I’m dreaming” I
will be in control in my dream, I will be aware of the dream”
4.) Vitamin B5 or Vitamin B6 supplements can increase
dream vividness, weirdness, and emotional intensity, which
can lead to lucid dreaming, but consult with your doctor on
the safety of the dosage you can take.

10 Animals That
Mate For Life
Loyalty Really Does Exist
Beavers
Known for their elaborate dam building skills, beavers are monogamous creatures who stay
together for life, living in family groups, or colonies, made up of parents and their offspring. Adults
stay together in these colonies and care for their young for
the first two years of their lives, teaching them valuable skills,
before they go off to find their own mates.
Wolves
Wolves are very
loyal to members
of their family and
have complex
social structures
within their packs. The alpha male and alpha
female within packs mate for life and share
leadership roles and responsibilities caring
for their young and other pack members.
Bald Eagles
Bald Eagles partner up for life. According to studies on
their behavior, they court and reinforce their bond through
elaborate displays that involve locking their talons in midair
before free falling through the sky.
Prairie Voles
Prairie voles are fascinating with their lifelong pair-bonds
and live otherwise monogamous lifestyles. They co-parent
their young, share the housework and have been known to
experience grief and stay single in the wild if they lose their
partner.
French Angelfish
They’re estimated to spend half of their time swimming right at
their partners side. When they reunite after brief periods apart,
they circle each other in a behavior known as “carouseling”, which
is thought to reinforce their pair bond.
Whooping Cranes
The tallest bird in North America,
whooping cranes can live up to 24 years in the wild and migrate
thousands of miles a year. They’re also known for mating for life,
although they may choose a new mate if their partner dies.
Albatross
They don’t just mate for life, but engage in
an elaborate courtship ritual before settling
down with a partner that consists of a precise
sequence of dance moves when choosing a
partner. They also raise their young together,
before sending them off into the world to find their own mates.
Sea Horses
Sea horses are unique and fascinating little creatures that
live in a broad range of marine environments. Sea horses
are technically considered a fish, but unlike most fish
species, they form monogamous pairs that stay together for
life. Sea horses are also known for the role the males play
in reproduction. Females deposit eggs in the male’s pouch,
where he fertilizes and carries them until giving birth.
Titi Monkeys
Titi monkeys live mostly in the Amazon in small family groups
consisting of parents and their young. These adorable and
monogamous monkeys are believed to be very emotionally close
and spend a lot of time near each other, cuddling, grooming each
other and holding hands. Fathers in these tight-knit families also
play a hugely important role as the main carrier and protectors
of their young.
Lovebirds
The monogamous birds reach sexual maturity when
they’re about ten months old. Mating begins with
courtship behavior, and can continue throughout their
roughly 15-year life spans. Monogamy is essential to
the social stability of flocks and underlies much of their
social behavior.

Guide To Dating
A Capricorn
Capricorns, both male and female, are ambitious
hard workers striving to reach a goal they set forth for
themselves. They enjoy engaging in conversations
about what they plan to do with their lives and where
they see themselves headed in the future. They have
a plan and believe their ideas are innovative and stellar
and want to share them with those they care about so
they can be patted on the back for being so original.
Capricorns tend to feel that they are entitled and get
very agitated when someone is receiving what they
feel they have earned and will say things that hint to
the idea that the only reason another person got where
they are is because they cheated their way to the top
or to a position they felt they deserved over this other
person. They will play the “it’s not fair” card all the
time because they feel they are deserving of all the
highlights in life and career and no one should get it first.
They have a hard time trusting others and opening up. They
have a hard core shell around them that they want you to
break down so they know you cared enough to take the
time to get to know them. Once that outer shell has been
broken you’ll find a compassionate caring and protective
person who will go out of their way to help a friend in need.
Capricorn men especially, cannot stand games
in a relationship. Don’t try to make him jealous or
flirt with others in front of him. Do play the text and
wait game and if you want something then ask,
don’t make them be a mind reader because they
won’t waste their time trying to figure out what you
really mean with your subtle gestures and hints.
Capricorns want to be your friend first. They like to take
things slow and get to know you. They want to really see
if you’re worth their time invested. They are looking for
someone who is a good listener, someone who doesn’t
speak over them. Someone with a sense of humor
and very witty banter will always peak their interest.
Trust is a requirement if you plan to have a relationship
with any Capricorn. They are faithful and not the flirting
type so they despise a person that questions everything
they do. Do not challenge them or accuse them of
cheating unless you want to see their negative side.
By Robert Webb
Drama needs to be banished from any type of relationship
with your Capricorn. They do not have time for it. They
would rather spend their time building on the relationship
rather than stirring the pot. Always tell them what’s on
your mind, don’t beat around the bush. If you don’t like
something they are doing then just tell them and come
to a solution to resolve it. A Capricorn that values your
relationship will always work towards a compromise but
don’t make it so difficult. Get to the point and clear the air.
A Capricorn, both male and female, will require that the
person they are in a relationship with be as ambitious
as they are. They want you to have your own goals and
dreams you’re chasing after. They want to see your inner
passion to succeed emanate from you so they know
you understand deeply where they are coming from. A
Capricorn will support you and lift you up with any goal
you set forth for yourself or for the two of you together.
When it comes to love and romance, they are not really
the mushy lovey-dovey type. They are more traditional
when it comes to romancing you. A Capricorn man will
bring you red roses and take you to dinner and a movie,
something you expect. A Capricorn female may buy you
a card and a nice dress shirt. Not much more creative
than that. They are not ones to go out of their way to
woo you as they don’t have it in them. Capricorns are
using all of their creative juices for their goals and career
that their relationship needs to be a time for them to just
relax and cuddle and have no stress at all. They want
you to be their comfort zone and retreat away from it all.
A Capricorn typically would like to keep what the two of you
share together behind closed doors and not display their
affection in public. They may hold your hand or give you a
gentle hug in front of others, but the make out session or
even just a passionate kiss in the public eye is not in their
comfort zone. They also expect you to keep secrets and
not broadcast to your friends the intimate details about
your relationship together. They are shy when it comes to
the intimate passionate personal part of their relationship
and wants everything to stay between you and them.
Capricorn females will appreciate it if you were to spoil
them with the finer things in life. Not all the time, they
don’t want them to become the norm, but a surprise to
an elegant restaurant or a classy opera would win you
points. A Capricorn male on the other hand will prefer a
quiet night in or just a small group of friends around and
very low key with minimal attention brought towards them.
Capricorn males and females just want to be loved by a
genuine person whom they can trust and feel secure with.

To impress an Aquarian you need to engage them in
conversation by asking questions about themselves,
their views and their plans. Genuinely listen to what
they are saying and let them know what you think
about the angle they are taking and why you feel it will
or not work. They will always debate you and get you
to eventually agree with them, but they enjoy this part
of the communication, they enjoy getting others to see
things their way rather than the way the “norm” sees it.
Aquarians are very analytical and will pick a situation
apart and dissect it until they get to the core of the
matter. They need to know how something or someone
ticks so they can devise a plan to put the pieces together
to make it work in their favor. They are master problem
solvers and they will not stop until a resolution or new
solution to a problem as been found and implemented.
An Aquarius female or male will value you if you’re
intellectual. They want to be around someone they can
learn from and absorb ideas from. They are a sponge
soaking up all the insight they can wrap their brains
around. If you have nothing to bring to the table as
far as unique ideas or viewpoints then they will lose
interest fast. The more that you show an Aquarian your
true self and abnormal behaviors, the more they adore
you. They already feel like they are an oddity living on
a planet amongst a bunch of robots with no originality
so it’d be a relief for them to know they found someone
that accepts them and is a little bit like them too.
Aquarians are a hard one to get to settle down because a
serious relationship or marriage is a confinement to them.
A contract to agree to stay with someone is suppressing
and the idea of knowing they are going to be with only
one person for the rest of their lives scares them. They
need to know you’re adaptable and willing to change and
willing to grow within the relationship for them to ever
commit to you. If they feel it’s one way and one way only
with no room for negotiations then they will feel trapped
and retreat into themselves, distancing themselves from
the relationship before they eventually just run away.
They want to surprised, they don’t want the predictable
Born: January 20th - February 19th
or they will be grumpy and moody. Find something
creative and exciting for the two of you to do together,
something that the “average” couple doesn’t do.
Something that is mentally stimulating yet something
that makes sense for the time invested into it.
Aquarians are not known for being very emotional. They
are all about logic and reasoning. If it doesn’t make
sense then they do not want to be bothered. They won’t
fall for guilt trips as they are too smart to be brought
into that trap and the moody emotional rollercoasters
are foreign to them as they don’t know how to handle
someone who’s being irrational. To get any problem
solved you need to be straight forward with an Aquarian
and tell them exactly and precisely what is on your mind
and where you see a solution to fix the problem. If there’s
no sense to what you’re saying and no possible solution
then they do not want to be bothered with the nonsense.
An Aquarian values his/her independence and will
not tolerate clingy and needy people. Go do your own
thing, don’t wait on them to decide what you want
to do. They want you to have your own mind and be
confident with yourself. They are loyal individuals when
they feel valued. If you start to make them second guess
themselves or put them down then their first instinct is
to wonder off to find someone who will get them. But
if you value them and reassure them that you “get
them” then you will find the most loyal partner who
will always have your back and never let you down.
Aquarians do not like close minded people. They
cringe at those who are so predictable and ordinary. If
you judge others in front of them then you better have
a lot of ammunition to back up your words as to why
you’re judging them. If it makes sense they may see
your side of things, but if it’s just out of malice then
they will openly let you know their disgust of your
behaviors. When you’re an open book and easy to
ready they will get bored fast because this leaves
nothing to their imagination and the suspense is gone.
They want someone who just goes with the flow and
is adaptable. They don’t understand people who
make plans in advance, how can they possibly know
they will be free then? An Aquarian is all about last
minute planning and leaving their options open in case
something better comes along. Aquarians cannot stand
jealous people, if you can’t handle the fact that they are
social butterflies who crave communication with others
then it will arouse many issues in your relationship.
Aquarians want a partner who is an oddball, one
who is intriguing, mystical and full of insight on life.
Guide To Dating
A PISCES
The Pisces female is sensitive when she’s in love
and believes in the fairy tale romance. Don’t let her
down. Court her from the moment you meet her,
grow as friends and court her through the entire
relationship to keep her interest and hold onto her trust.
Pisces are very intuitive and will trust their gut instinct
when it comes to people they meet. Don’t give her a
reason to doubt you, she will sense something is up
almost immediately and withdraw from you or storm off
in a temper tantrum to show her dissatisfaction with the
feelings she is having from an unsettling circumstance.
Be it as small as you not paying enough attention to
her because your mind is elsewhere because she will
internalize this as if you do not care about her. She is not
insecure or doubting herself but she is so in tune with
energy around her that she feels you withdrawing and that
feeling makes her mind wander to the worst. She trusts
her gut so much that sometimes it overcomes her and
she forgets to think rationally and detach her emotions
from the reality of a situation. Just reassure her and be an
open book to why you are giving off a certain vibe. She will
hear you and sense your honesty and just let it go, she’s
pretty versatile when you release her of her unnecessary
doubts and doesn’t dwell on it further, she just needs the
clarity of a situation and a little reassurance and a reality
check that her intuition was right but a little over the top.
Manners and respect towards others is very important
to her. Do not demean others just for the fun of it and
always say please and thank you. Never take advantage
of her or ask her for much and you’ll see she will give
you the world. If she feels like you’re taking advantage
of her she will become very distant and agitated.
Many will tell her that she’s a people pleaser and way
too emotional but that’s not really the case. She is just
so full of love and genuinely does care about people
closes to her. She wants to help others when she
can and lift their spirits up. But she’s not dumb, she
knows when she’s being used so don’t even try to take
advantage of her or make everything always about
you. She is not shy about calling you out for it and
will do her best to make you feel awful about yourself
for how you made her feel used and unimportant
Be a gentleman. Open doors, offer her your jacket when
it’s cold outside, hold her hand in public and hold her
Born: February 20th - March 20th
close when you know she just needs some attention.
Be a strong and confident man. She wants someone she
can look up to and feel comfortable and secure with. Be
her protector, but not possessor as she must feel free to do
whatever her flighty self wants to do when she wants to do it.
When you’re trying to be romantic, remember she also
enjoys the thought behind it and the surprise. She wants
to know you put thought into it and didn’t just treat her
like a generic. She also doesn’t want to tell you what she
wants, she expects you to be creative and come up with
your own idea to make it romantic and mysterious. So,
simply getting her flowers and taking her out to dinner
won’t work. Bring her a bouquet of her favorite flowers
or flowers with significant meanings behind them and
take her to a restaurant she always wanted to go to
but hasn’t been to yet, make memories. Write her love
notes, take a lot of pictures together and frame some
of them and place around your house to share with
guests. Cook her favorite meal, buy her favorite drink,
call her in the middle of the day to tell her you’re thinking
of her, give her a massage, write cute little notes and
stick them in her purse to find later, cuddle a lot, just
show her how much you care by the little things you do.
Pisces is a dreamer and visualizes the life she wants
and 100% feels she deserves to and will make all of her
dreams come true. Never put her creative ideas down or
tell her she’s being unrealistic as she will just shut down
from you all together. She wants someone who dreams
with her and sees a future of magic, prosperity and
extravagance. And one that’s surrounded with true love.
She wants to be madly in love and be with
someone who’s totally madly in love with her
The Pisces male has all of the same traits a Pisces
female has but the biggest challenge they face is the
stereotypical sexist mindset society has placed on
how a man should act and how a female should act.
A Pisces male is sensitive and emotional but doesn’t
feel its “manly” to show these traits all the time and
a lot of them will retreat to alcohol and drugs to
suppress these feelings from showing. They escape
to another reality, one they will not feel judged in.
The Pisces male needs your re-assurance and
your understanding of who he is. He doesn’t want
to be picked on or ridiculed for being sensitive or
spiritual and artsy. He needs someone in his life
that admires these traits and lets him just be himself.

Tarot Card Reading for
Your Zodiac Sign
Find out what is in store for you
over the next 3 months of Jan-Feb-March 2016
The Basics of this Tarot Card Reading to assist you with what it all means:
By Deeanna Chapman
Most classic Tarot decks are comprised of 78 cards, These 78 cards are divided into a Major Arcana (22 cards) and
a Minor Arcana (56 cards). The Major Arcana cards, also called trump cards, are important because they represent
significant life events on a large scale, Minor Arcana imply short-term and fleeting aspects of our life experiences.
In these Tarot readings, I pulled 1 Major Arcana card for each zodiac sign as a
goal/lesson for the season (Jan-March 2016) then I pulled 3 other (Major & Minor Arcana) cards
to offer guidance as how to solve the problem at hand based on prevailing energies.
Aries
The overall energy: The Moon ~ The overall energy of this season has to deal with
misunderstandings, deceit and lack of communication.
How this energy will manifest:
The Emperor, reversed: It is vital for you to release some of the power and control
you have over others to meet on a common ground.
Strength: This is a time for you to focus on empathy, harmony and cooperation with
others.
9 of Pentacles, reversed: This card suggests that you may be suffering from financial
setbacks or you have experienced a loss due to unwise decisions or foolish actions.
A sign that you need to learn from your mistakes and build a more solid and secure
foundation next time. It also is an indication that if you are looking for love or want
to be happy and fulfilled in your love relationship, you need to realize that you can’t
expect this to “just happen”, action and intention on your part is required. You must
be willing to talk, and really listen, to your loved one or to prospective partners.
Remember communication is key to get all that you want out of a relationship.
Taurus
The overall energy: The Hierophant ~ The overall energy of this season focuses on
seeking deeper meanings in things, desire for wisdom and being part of a team.
How this will manifest:
The World: This indicates working in harmony with others, a time for you to have
your dreams come true and have the world at your feet. Being content, having peace
of mind and being thankful for your blessings in life.
King of Wands, reversed: This card can signify a man who has been through a lot in
life, and as a result, he is warm, kind, and understanding towards others. While it may
not necessarily mean a man as in a person but masculine energy of a letting things go
and giving a lot of leniency to others because you understand where they are coming
from and the trials they have been through. It indicates support and understanding.
Queen of Wands: A natural born leader and business person. One who is straight
forward, domineering and bossy. At times can be tactless and will need to remind
oneself there’s better ways to phrase things to get what you want and to work as an
equal with others. A reminder to come off your high horse.
Gemini
The overall energy: The Star ~ The overall energy of this season focuses on balance,
pleasure and fulfilling dreams.
How this will manifest:
The Magician: Set the Intention that everything you are creating and manifesting comes
from a place of Highest Love and is for the Highest Good of all concerned.
Ace of Wands, reversed: This card suggests that you are finding it difficult to clearly
define what it is that you want. This lack of direction may be sapping your energy levels
and leaving you feeling incredibly unmotivated and uninspired. As a result, you are
often asking yourself if this is what you really want in life. It also indicates that you
feel weighed down by existing responsibilities and commitments and feel as though you
cannot pursue the new ideas that you have.
Knight of Wands: This card indicates that you need to take action in a bold and fearless
way. You need to re-group your thoughts and remind yourself that the ultimate goal is to
fulfill your dreams. The more you focus on your wants and desires you may discover a
talent that you didn’t even know you had that could result in more money.
Cancer
The overall energy: Judgement ~ The overall energy of this season is to remind yourself
to let go of other’s judgments of you, a time for you to come alive. Also a time to stop
judging new relationships based on past failed relationships.
How this will manifest:
The Chariot: Symbolizes travel, both physically and mentally. Take control of where
you want to go, be firm and assertive without being aggressive.
2 of Wands: This card is about earned success. It indicates help and support from affluent
individuals, one’s in which “you” cultivated the seeds to grow. Beware though; you
currently have the power and influence and someone else wants it, be very cautious of
who you assist as they have ulterior motives. This card also indicates choosing career
over love. There’s a spiritual connection you have with another person who is currently
part of your life, this person is keeping you grounded with your career by reminding you
to watch out for deceitful people. Even though you value their support, you don’t know
how to juggle a career and relationship so you have put them aside emotionally.
5 of Pentacles: This card indicates money that is tied up and someone is not going to
receive as much money as they were expecting in a situation. Do not feel hopeless, if you
need help, just go out and ask for it. The help you need will come.
Leo
The overall energy: Temperance ~ The overall energy of this season deals with keeping
an open mind and your options plentiful. Going with the flow, keeping balance and
staying calm.
How this will manifest:
4 of Swords, reversed: This card suggests that some time off from work would be
beneficial. The weight of your responsibilities are heavy and stressful. Allow yourself to
rest, and re-center yourself through meditation and relaxation.
King of Pentacles, reversed: This card describes a very weak person who pursues, but
cannot find satisfaction or pleasure in material things. It’s important to know that your
happiness and success is not built on how much money you make and it’s important to
remind yourself that money is just a tool needed at certain times in life to get where you
are suppose to be and be accepting of times of financial hardship because it is these times
that lessons are learned.
King of Cups: Indicates a male who offers you good advice and he has many positive
qualities. He is wise, helpful and caring. He likes peace and harmony around him.
Virgo
The overall energy: The Emperor ~ The overall energy of this season demands that you
look within yourself and find your dominance and reclaim power.
How this will manifest:
King of Swords, reversed: This card may be warning of someone who may have a
negative influence in your life at this time. A forceful, opinionated male with dark hair.
He is stubborn and not open to change.
3 of Swords: There is sorrow, sadness, strife, conflict, disappointment and great emotional
pain. Indication of a miscarriage, heartache from a lost love, or a serious argument.
3 of Cups, reversed: This card indicates that you may be involved in an affair or dealing
with an unfaithful partner. Another indication of this card is over-indulgence in the party
scene with drugs and/or alcohol.

Libra
The overall energy: Strenth ~ The overall energy of this season is about your inner
strength. This is a time for you to focus on empathy, harmony and cooperation with
others.
How this will manifest:
Justice, reversed: This energy indicates being objective and balanced in your
approach of dealing with others. You need to stop assuming you know everyone’s
situation and really listen to get to the core of their emotions.
The High Priestess: This card indicates not everything on the surface is as it seems so
you need to ask probing questions to get the core underlying motive of others.
Queen of Pentacles: This energy points towards stability in your life. This is in both
emotional and financial matters.
Scorpio
The overall energy: Death ~ The overall energy of this season is change, a time to let
go of the old, endings with new beginnings.
How this will manifest:
Ace of Wands, reversed: This card shows a need to pay close attention to what you
are doing with your money. Do not take chances or just hand over your financial
responsibility to someone else to control.
3 of Swords: There is sorrow, sadness, strife, conflict, disappointment and great
emotional pain. Indication of a miscarriage, heartache from a lost love, or a serious
argument that is painful to hear but some words are necessary to clear the air.
8 of Swords: The energy of this card identifies self-imposed restrictions and a
reminder that a situation may not be as difficult as it is perceived to be.
Sagittarius
The overall energy: The Sun ~ The overall energy of this season deals with health,
happiness, balance and joy.
How this will manifest:
Page of Cups, reversed: This card indicates a reminder to allow yourself to play and
dream, but also remain grounded in reality.
2 of Swords: The card indicates you do not know what to do and do not seem to
be able to see all the necessary information before you to think clearly. You may be
struggling with a difficult decision even though you know something needs to be done
to correct the situation.
2 of Pentacles, reversed: This card indicates you are trying to juggle too many things
in your life right now and you need to take a break.
Aquarius
The overall energy: The High Priestess ~ The overall energy of this season is
all about tapping into your inner guidance system/intuition to make decisions. Not
everything on the surface is as it seems so you need to ask probing questions to get the
core underlying motive of others. Meditate and relax your mind to find the guidance
you seek.
How this will manifest:
Death, reversed: The message of this card indicates it’s time to release what no longer
serves you. A time to let go of your fear and to keep moving forward.
4 of Swords: This card indicates a time of quiet contemplation and preparation for
the goals you wish to obtain. It is a time to heal your mind, body and spirit. Do not
overwork yourself and become stressed out.
4 of Cups, reversed: The message here is to allow yourself to feel. Awaken yourself
to the world around you and put in the effort required to obtain the results you desire.
Pisces
The overall energy: The Magician ~ The overall energy of this season will be for
you to tap into your inner abilities to manifest whatever you want. Connect with the
universe through your thoughts, energy and feelings. Trust your intuition.
How this will manifest:
4 of Pentacles: This card indicates trying very hard to hold onto money, a time to not
spend frivolously. The fear and anxiety you are holding about money and status quo
and material items needs to be released in order to clear the blockage of money flow
you are manifesting out to the universe.
Queen of Swords, reversed: This energy is a female energy, possibly yourself,
causing problems and stumbling blocks to your success by the abrasive manner in
which things are communicated. Step back from the situation and take it as a learning
lesson that you need to compromise with others to avoid unnecessary complications.
King of Pentacles, reversed: Watch out for others who seem charming and very
persuasive but have ulterior motives about spending your money and what you
worked so hard to obtain.
Capricorn
The overall energy: The Hermit ~ The overall energy of this season calls for you to
look within and isolate yourself from others so you have the quiet time to reflect on
what you want and decide what you really need to do get there.
How this will manifest:
3 of Cups: A time to reflect on true friendships and realize who you need and do not
need in your life.
Queen of Pentacles, reversed: This card reminds you to stay in touch with the simple
things in life. It is time to recognize your need for stable and nurturing relationships.
The Fool: This card indicates a need to let go of your past experiences and memories
so they do not control you on your journey. Take from it the lessons you have learned
but then move on with no emotional attachment to those experiences and memories.
