fresh, a new day and a new you. But we don’t. There’s a strange phenomenon that<br />

happens worldwide on New Year’s Day that gives everyone that extra drive and that<br />

need to make resolutions to change something in their lives. Maybe it’s because we<br />

feel we are all back at start and it’s an even playing field from the start of the first day<br />

of the year to see who will win this year, who will accomplish more. Whatever the<br />

cause, it’s great to feel fresh and awakened and I’m going with it. The universe has a<br />

lot in store for us in <strong>2016</strong>, we just need to be open to receive it.<br />

MERCURY<br />

RETROGRADE<br />

JAN 5th - JAN 25th<br />

<strong>2016</strong><br />

MERCURY RETROGRADE<br />

<strong>January</strong> 5 - <strong>January</strong> 25, <strong>2016</strong><br />

Starts in Aquarius, ends in earth Capricorn<br />

Mercury Retrograde occurs when the planet Mercury<br />

appears to be moving backwards when viewed from<br />

earth, but in all reality it is just slowing down and<br />

gives the illusion that it’s going backwards. Mercury<br />

is the planet of communications and thus when<br />

the planet slows down so does our communication,<br />

scheduling, transportation and our judgment becomes<br />

cloudy or prone to error.<br />

Mercury retrograde occurs at two levels.<br />

1. The Observatory/Awareness Level<br />

2. The Personal Level<br />

At the Observatory/Awareness level, there is not<br />

much we can do with the actions of others, except<br />

to be more conscious and prepare for delays and<br />

errors by double checking schedules, not overreacting<br />

to someone else when they say something we don’t<br />

agree with and know it’s out of their character but<br />

we are aware we are in a retrograde period and allow<br />

it. Leaving early when we have a trip or meeting<br />

planned in order to be prepared for delays.<br />

At the Personal level we can do a lot in order to<br />

avoid the consequences of Mercury Retrograde.<br />

Most of us encounter the consequences when we are<br />

not centered, aware or conscious of what is going on<br />

around us, and more often than not the culprit is that<br />

we are not acting from our heart and spirit. Instead<br />

we are snapping out of frustration or malice. We are<br />

reacting from our needs, our hurts, from our buttons<br />

being pushed, or the way that we take care of others<br />

and not ourselves. We are aware it’s retrograde and<br />

will need to take personal accountability not to sign<br />

contracts, purchase electronics or start a new business<br />

venture during this time. We must remember to think<br />

before we speak as communications are off balance<br />

so everything we say can be misconstrued by others.<br />

We also need to personally focus on what challenges<br />

we are experiencing and remove these toxins from<br />

our life. During mercury retrograde we can patch up<br />

or end a relationship, it’ll always point out the faults<br />

of the energy involved in the relationship, be it a<br />

significant other or even just an employer.<br />

THE ZODIAC IS BACK! - ASTRO 101<br />

JUPITER<br />

RETROGRADE<br />

<strong>January</strong> 7th - May 9th <strong>2016</strong><br />

Jupiter Retrograde begins on <strong>January</strong> 7th at 23°<br />

Virgo, and goes direct on May 9th at 13° Virgo.<br />

Jupiter goes into Virgo<br />

when viewed from earth, but in all reality<br />

Jupiter Retrograde occurs when the planet<br />

Jupiter appears to be moving backwards<br />

it is just slowing down and gives the<br />

illusion that it’s going backwards.<br />

By Lisa Yorkshire<br />

Jupiter is the planet of luck and when the<br />

planet slows down so does our communication,<br />

scheduling, transportation and our judgment<br />

becomes cloudy or prone to error.<br />

Jupiter is considered to be the most powerful<br />

and influential planet among nine planets.<br />

It represents wealth, fortune, honesty,<br />

justice, positive qualities and happiness.<br />

In normal conditions, when Jupiter is direct,<br />

it’s the provider of wisdom, intelligence and<br />

happiness. A<br />

retrograde<br />

Jupiter is<br />

equivalent to<br />

training our<br />

mystical<br />

powers<br />

and our<br />

strength.<br />

People<br />

with Jupiter<br />

retrograding<br />

in their<br />

astrology<br />

chart houses<br />

are able to perform all the tasks that a<br />

normal person cannot even think of doing<br />

in his lifetime. The outcome is that these<br />

people (with Jupiter Retrograde passing<br />

through houses in their chart) will achieve<br />

fame and respect while doing unusual tasks<br />

during the Jupiter retrograde period.<br />

The Astrological House that Jupiter is in<br />

shows where there will be good fortune<br />

and expansion in your personal life. This<br />

Astrological House position will indicate<br />

the specific area in life in which you gain<br />

insight and grow in understanding. This area<br />

will generally be very fortunate for you. (if<br />

you’d like <strong>Zodi</strong> <strong>Habit</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>’s Astrologers<br />

to work up your personalized astrology<br />

chart to find out which houses Jupiter is<br />

in now, you can email info@zodihabit.com<br />

for more info on price and turn time)<br />

Overall, regardless of the house placement,<br />

Jupiter’s retrograde encourages us all to slow<br />

down, pull back and make sure we aren’t<br />

wandering off the Path that is right for us.<br />

Jupiter Retrograde is not that bad as that of<br />

the other planets’ retrograde motion but it<br />

does cause one to overdo in certain matters.<br />

It may delay the final outcome but it also<br />

should be beneficial in the end result. The<br />

planet Jupiter rules travel so during its<br />

retrograde period this might bring in lots<br />

of wanted and unwanted travel for you.<br />

Jupiter retrograde is also connected with<br />

pregnancy and bloating of the body.<br />

Overall, Jupiter retrograde <strong>2016</strong> is very<br />

promising, suggesting plenty of personal,<br />

spiritual and material growth. Success can be<br />

achieved in whatever area of life that needs more<br />

fulfillment, from new love relationships<br />

to breaking addictions, overseas<br />

travels or accumulating wealth.<br />

We all have inner wisdom if<br />

we take the time to listen to<br />

it, and Jupiter Retrograde<br />

encourages just that. We will<br />

ask ourselves questions such<br />

as: Do I like my job? Am I<br />

happy in my relationship? Am I<br />

fooling myself about something?<br />

Do I like where I’m headed in life?<br />

Jupiter Retrograde asks those kinds of<br />

questions, and gives us more than three months<br />

to think about the answers before going direct.<br />

Even while in retrograde, bountiful Jupiter<br />

wants to help you figure out how to grow<br />

and change and become the best version of<br />

yourself. Use this time wisely - it’s a gift!<br />

ABOUT JUPITER<br />

Jupiter is the Planet of Luck and Fortune<br />

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and<br />

by far the largest! It is twice as massive as<br />

all the other planets combined. Its mass<br />

is over 300 times that of the Earth.<br />

Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the<br />

sky (after the Sun, the Moon and Venus)<br />

Jupiter spins faster than any other planet, taking<br />

a little under 10 hours to complete a turn on<br />

its axis, compared with 24 hours for Earth<br />

Jupiter is said to bring great good fortune,<br />

and its influence is to expand the effect of<br />

everything it comes into contact with<br />

The Astrological House that Jupiter is in shows<br />

where there will be good fortune and expansion<br />

in your personal life. This Astrological House<br />

position will indicate the specific area in life in<br />

which you gain insight and grow in understanding.<br />

This area will generally be very fortunate for you<br />

Jupiter is the ruling planet for Sagittarius<br />

The entire Jupiter retrograde <strong>2016</strong> phase<br />

points to success in achieving the growth<br />

necessary to find greater happiness,<br />

fulfillment and satisfaction in life.<br />

The retrograde phase starting in <strong>January</strong> <strong>2016</strong><br />

represents a major test of faith and self-control.<br />

Any addictive behaviors will need to be addressed<br />

When Jupiter goes direct in May <strong>2016</strong>, this<br />

indicates overall success and happiness!<br />

<strong>Zodi</strong>SCOPES<br />

ARIES<br />

Born <strong>March</strong> 21 - April 19:<br />

In <strong>January</strong> there will be a lot of attention brought to<br />

your career. The Sun, Mercury and Pluto as well as<br />

the new moon on Jan 9th will all be in Capricorn (the<br />

ruler of Saturn). And Saturn will be in your 10th house<br />

(fame and honors) indicating a change is brewing for<br />

your career. Remember to stay grounded and absorb<br />

the non emotional energy Capricorn brings so you do<br />

not fly off the handle with unnecessary stress. This<br />

change coming about is one of a positive light. The<br />

feeling of not knowing what path you’re headed within<br />

your business is driving you mad but have faith that<br />

someone higher up than you, a superior is pulling some<br />

strings to make sure you shine in the brightest of lights.<br />

They have seen you out-perform your peers and handle<br />

difficult situations with ease and professionalism in the<br />

past that they think you are the best candidate for the<br />

upcoming position.<br />

Mars is in your eight house (intense emotions) and you<br />

have been worried to the extreme about your finances.<br />

But the good news is with this intense energy in your<br />

eighth house, you will go to any measure to make sure<br />

you make ends meet and obtain the cash you need.<br />

You may have a desire to pick up a part time job, or<br />

sell items on e-bay or even pick up a creative hobby<br />

that you can sell your creations on the side. The planes<br />

energy is giving you the drive you need to accomplish<br />

this financial setback you think you’re in.<br />

Early February will be the time you meet your one<br />

true love and have a magical moment like none you’ve<br />

ever experienced before. If you are in a relationship<br />

currently, you will grow on the deepest of levels and<br />

have a moment that the two of you will cherish for the<br />

rest of your lives. You’ll be smitten in love and on cloud<br />

nine.<br />

Travel will be difficult and have many setback in<br />

<strong>January</strong> and early February so avoid it if you can. A<br />

vacation in <strong>March</strong> is going to be presented to you and<br />

you should accept, do not let your work responsibilities<br />

hold you back as you need this trip to recharge your<br />

juices and et you motivated for the rest of the year and<br />

your new career tasks at hand.<br />

Trust in others that praise you and tell you about your<br />

positive attributes. They are speaking from the heart as<br />

well as from their admiration they have for you. You<br />

have had a big impact on others both in your career and<br />

personal life over the past year and have felt you’ve<br />

been unappreciated and have gone unnoticed, but that’s<br />

not the case. Everything you’ve done is gratefully<br />

appreciated and in <strong>March</strong> you will hear about the<br />

endless praises they have for you. Suck it all up like a<br />

sponge and remember what they say so next time you<br />

are feeling low about putting in so much effort with no<br />

return, you’ll remind yourself, it takes time for others<br />

to catch up to what you already know. But your good<br />

deeds and hard work have not gone unnoticed..<br />

TAURUS<br />

By Blake Sandoval<br />

<strong>January</strong> - <strong>March</strong> <strong>2016</strong><br />

Bio: Blake Sandoval is a noted Astrologer living in Northern<br />

California. He has been studying astrology for over<br />

25 years and has a weekly radio segment in which he<br />

analyzes astrological charts, he writes articles for various<br />

publications and believes astrology is our roadmap to<br />

answers we seek if we observe and learn from it’s lessons.<br />

Born April 20 -May 20:<br />

<strong>January</strong> you will have your focus on your next new<br />

venture you’re about to embark on this year, be it<br />

marriage, a new child or a career change.<br />

Your focus in mid <strong>January</strong> will be your career and<br />

getting your ducks in a row so when you’re ready to<br />

launch your new project or start your new job you<br />

are beyond prepared. You know it will take time<br />

and right now you are grounded and focused on the<br />

tasks at hand. Just be sure that you do not make<br />

any new changes or sign contracts until we are past<br />

mercury retrograde (after Jan 25).<br />

The 2nd week of <strong>January</strong> shows that unexpected<br />

money will come your way, a nice little windfall to<br />

assist you with your finances, something you didn’t<br />

even see coming.<br />

Mars will be in your 7th house (commitment,<br />

marriage) and you will be focused on your partner<br />

as you have a lot to discuss and plan right now.<br />

<strong>January</strong> - <strong>March</strong> will have you very busy between<br />

your commitment to your partners needs and to<br />

your responsibilities with your new endeavor<br />

at work. Mid February is the best time for you<br />

to launch your new venture or release your new<br />

project if you want it to be accepted with open arms<br />

by others. Prior to that you make run into to some<br />

communication issues with others as the remnants<br />

of mercury retrograde are still acting haywire which<br />

could hinder the point you’re trying to get across.<br />

This new endeavor is huge and you need it to all<br />

go smooth so that the year ahead brings you the<br />

financial gain you’ve been dreaming of.<br />

You’ll run into a few flaws on either a patent or<br />

copyright infringement being challenged sometime<br />

in <strong>January</strong> that definitely needs to be addressed.<br />

Maybe even an issue with your company’s logo or<br />

slogan. Something along the lines that someone is<br />

challenging you but in the end they really do not<br />

have any grounds to back it up. Do your research<br />

in <strong>January</strong>, but do not act on anything or discuss<br />

with anyone your plans to resolve this matter until<br />

February. After February it’ll be smooth sailing with<br />

your business venture and you’ll be off on a good<br />

step. Nothing to stress over, stay grounded and do<br />

not fly off the handle getting all worked up about<br />

nothing.<br />

There seems to be a lot of emphasis on your home<br />

the beginning part of the year with big plans to<br />

re-model or re-decorate. New beginnings in the<br />

beginning of the year are always good to change the<br />

energy surrounding you. The best time to act on this<br />

home renovations would be in early <strong>March</strong>.<br />

GEMINI<br />

Born May 21 – June 21:<br />

<strong>January</strong> gets off to a slow start for you as you’re<br />

feeling exhausted and worn out from everything<br />

you’ve been trying to do over the past few months<br />

that you finally just feel overwhelmed and get into<br />

a procrastination phase. With Mercury Retrograde<br />

(<strong>January</strong> 5th-25th) upon us you are really feeling<br />

like nothing can go right. Mercury is the ruling<br />

planet for Gemini, the planet of communications,<br />

electronics, travel, contracts, negotiations, etc and<br />

as a Gemini you feel this slow down energy from<br />

Mercury the most intense of all the signs. But take<br />

a breath, remind yourself it doesn’t mean everything<br />

will blow up in your face, it’s just supposed to be<br />

a time to “slow down” (retrograde is the slowing<br />

of the planet mercury which makes people nuts<br />

because nothing goes as planned, but it’s really a<br />

time to clear your head and get rid of unnecessary<br />

obstacles holding you back). Right now your focus<br />

should just be on brainstorming and setting a plan<br />

in action for what you want to accomplish this year<br />

but it is not a time to execute those plans, at least not<br />

until after <strong>January</strong> 25th. In February you will be so<br />

happy that you waited and gave yourself the time to<br />

prepare for the year ahead. The obstacles in front of<br />

you (throughout most of <strong>January</strong>) are just stepping<br />

stones headed in a positive upward stance that will<br />

surely be in your favor if you heed the advice to plan<br />

and not jump the gun by executing on your plans<br />

because of being impatient.<br />

Around <strong>January</strong> 18th Mars and Neptune will be<br />

in your 10th house of career, fame and honors.<br />

Originality and creativity are at an all time high<br />

and a great time now to present ideas to a potential<br />

client or employer that will surely impress them.<br />

Right now is all about focusing on the presentation<br />

and ideas you have, but not so much deciding on an<br />

outcome of how you plan to execute these ideas into<br />

motion. At least not until February.<br />

The New Moon and Pluto passing through Capricorn<br />

indicate someone you know very well will be very<br />

supportive and helpful to you in your business. They<br />

will be your words of wisdom and your financial<br />

advisor that will take you to the next step of success.<br />

You’ll be directed towards financial capital you are<br />

in need of and guidance on sales and something to<br />

do with banking or investments. This person you<br />

have known for a while, does anyone come to mind?<br />

They are already part of your life and a person you<br />

admire from afar.<br />

In <strong>March</strong> you will shine the brightest in real estate,<br />

maybe you’re working on selling your home, or<br />

investing in a new home, maybe even getting in the<br />

real estate field. But the spotlight is definitely on<br />

real estate in some shape or form. Jupiter (the planet<br />

of luck and happiness) is passing through your 4th<br />

house of home and family into your eighth house<br />

(other peoples money), indicating much financial<br />

gain in real estate or mortgages.<br />

Wait until after February 8th to launch your new<br />

project or endeavor you’ve been working on over<br />

the past few months. It will welcome you with great<br />

success right out the door. Your excitement compiled<br />

with your preparation are the keys for your success.<br />

Venus (the planet of love) will be in your 7th house<br />

(commitment, marriage) and re-assure you that<br />

you are ready to commit to “the one”. If you’re<br />

in a relationship, you will be taking it to the next<br />

level sometime this year but in February and <strong>March</strong><br />

the wheels are actively in motion. Saturn is also<br />

passing through the 7th house that clearly shows you<br />

are entering the next chapter of your life and will<br />

be committed in your relationship whether that be<br />

moving in together or getting married.<br />

CANCER<br />

Born June 22 – July 22:<br />

The end of <strong>January</strong> through <strong>March</strong> you’ll experience<br />

some negative issues with an associate (based on<br />

the angle of Uranus to the new moon on Jan 9th<br />

indicating problems will arrise). You will have some<br />

problems arise with a business partner or someone<br />

whom you work closely with in the business aspect<br />

of your life. You find this person to be unfair and<br />

treating you more like their employee rather than<br />

their equal. This person is hard headed and self<br />

absorbed, looking out only for their best interest.<br />

They will try to dominate you and push you back<br />

into a corner as they are trying to gain control. They<br />

are trying to devise a plan to steal your market share<br />

(or idea, credit for work you’ve done) Steer clear<br />

of any legal disputes as this person is cunning and<br />

will have more money than you to fight it through<br />

the courts and has no shame in twisting the truth to<br />

benefit themselves. If you can spot them/identify<br />

whom this is ahead of time and break ties with<br />

them now, that would be the best avenue to take<br />

to avoid the headache they are about to bring upon<br />

you. You need to stand up for yourself and trust<br />

your gut instinct; if it seems to you like they have<br />

an ulterior motive, then you are right, they do, and<br />

you need to have faith in your internal guide. Uranus<br />

shows you where you are vulnerable and where you<br />

need to become strong. Stop keeping them around<br />

thinking you will gain something (business contacts,<br />

notoriety, acknowledgement, business lessons/<br />

advice), as you are only falling into their trap. They<br />

are a master manipulator so unless you want to<br />

run your business/career by not being honest, this<br />

person will bring nothing to your success and will<br />

result in your demise or set you back, and after all<br />

the work you have invested in your career, you do<br />

not deserve or need this.<br />

There will be a new child in your family this year, set<br />

to arrive mid-year. This child will bring your family<br />

closer and there will be admiration towards you for<br />

your generosity you show when your relatives are in<br />

need. Around <strong>March</strong> you will be asked for a favor<br />

and how you respond is important, think before you<br />

speak.<br />

Plans you have to travel or move in mid <strong>January</strong> will<br />

be delayed for a couple weeks during retrograde, but<br />

do not worry as this is only a minor setback. You<br />

will have the money and resources you need in early<br />

February.<br />

Around the new moon on <strong>January</strong> 9th you will focus<br />

on your romantic personal life and a discussion of<br />

commitment will arise. The planets Mercury, Pluto,<br />

The Sun and The Moon are in your commitment<br />

house and the universe is gently pushing you<br />

forward to commit to your significant other or person<br />

of interest even though your original plan was to<br />

wait. Also around the new moon (Jan 9), Uranus<br />

will play a role in a disagreement you and a partner<br />

have over your career or something else important<br />

to you and it will have you all fired up. They have<br />

a few objections and opinions regarding what you<br />

are doing and you are not so receptive at first until<br />

you step back and see they have your best interest<br />

at heart. The energy of Uranus is to intellectually<br />

challenge you and teach you when to let your guard<br />

down. You both (your partner/love interest) seem to<br />

finally be on the same page after this discussion and<br />

in February and <strong>March</strong> you understand one another<br />

on a much deeper level. This person admires you<br />

and gives you a lot of attention and support on all<br />

levels.<br />

<strong>Zodi</strong>SCOPES<br />

LEO<br />

Born July 23 – August 21:<br />

<strong>January</strong> is the time you will need to go through<br />

a healthy detox. It’s a time to reform your eating<br />

and exercise patterns. Portion control is key and<br />

counting your calories will and should consume<br />

you most of the month until you are mentally<br />

focused on hitting your fitness goals. This will<br />

eventually come as second nature after you have repatterned<br />

your way of thinking to a healthier one.<br />

One that will surely benefit you, mind body and<br />

soul, through-out the year ahead.<br />

There’s many planets passing through Capricorn<br />

which is an indication of a lot of projects on<br />

your plate at work involving accounting and/<br />

or budgeting. Things in regards to reviewing<br />

the numbers from last year and restructuring a<br />

few necessary things to allow for the business to<br />

prosper in <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

Venus (the planet of love) will be in your fifth house<br />

(love, romance and children) which indicates if you<br />

are in a relationship that has been very positive<br />

lately, you are without a doubt headed to a serious<br />

commitment/proposal to take it to the next level. In<br />

early February there will be a big transition in your<br />

relationship that will either be to commit (marriage<br />

or baby or moving in together) if your relationship<br />

is strong and has been on a positive note. But there’s<br />

also an indication that if things have not been going<br />

smooth with you and your partner/love interest then<br />

you will break ties indefinitely in the beginning of<br />

February so that you can make way for the love of<br />

your life to enter shortly thereafter.<br />

If there are financial matters surrounding sale of a<br />

home or other real estate, it is best for you to resolve<br />

them in mid <strong>March</strong> because if you wait until May<br />

you will have nothing but headaches since many<br />

planets will be retrograde at that time causing many<br />

challenges and delays in any type of resolution for<br />

months to come. So be prepared in <strong>March</strong> to hunker<br />

down and use all the resources you have at hand to<br />

resolve matters of real estate in mid <strong>March</strong>. Seek<br />

advice from a trusted financial advisor to help guide<br />

you through this. You currently know a person in<br />

real estate that is extremely knowledgeable and<br />

it’s time to go pick their brain and ask for their<br />

guidance on what steps you will need to take to<br />

make everything move ahead smooth and to come<br />

to a simple resolution that satisfies all parties<br />

involved.<br />

VIRGO<br />

Born August 22 – September 22:<br />

<strong>January</strong> starts out on a lovely note, many planets<br />

(The Sun, The <strong>January</strong> 9th New Moon, Mercury<br />

and Pluto) are in your 5th house of love, romance<br />

and children. If you’re in a relationship, you and<br />

your partner may decide to have a baby and take the<br />

relationship to another level. If you’re single you’ll<br />

find yourself out and about in the social scene and<br />

surrounded by many admirers.<br />

Early February will bring about sudden expenses<br />

so keep a watchful eye on your finances as you<br />

will have a lot of money going out. You can look<br />

forward to a positive turn in your finances come the<br />

end of February and into early <strong>March</strong>. You’ll finally<br />

be able to catch up on what you were behind in.<br />

Venus (the planet of love) will be passing through<br />

Capricorn and you’ll find yourself out in the social<br />

scene more come the end of <strong>January</strong>. You can relax<br />

and unwind while enjoying the ambiance and new<br />

found release of stress that is upon you. You will<br />

effortlessly draw others towards you and now in the<br />

first time in 12 years, (because Jupiter is in Virgo<br />

bringing you luck) and you will meet with the<br />

person who is your true love. This person is older<br />

than you or more mature than you’ve been involved<br />

with which will be a breath of fresh air as you won’t<br />

have to go through the drama as you’ve experienced<br />

in past relationships. You will be “lucky in love”<br />

during these next few months.<br />

You’re New Year’s resolution should be one that<br />

involves improving your health as you will be<br />

successful in any plan you put into action at this<br />

time. Lately you have been feeling drained and<br />

extreme fatigue but with a little focus on how<br />

you eat and a daily exercise routine, you will be<br />

rejuvenated by <strong>March</strong>.<br />

Travel plans you have scheduled for the end of<br />

<strong>January</strong> will be frustrating to say the least, there will<br />

be many delays and things will not go as planned.<br />

If you can reschedule until the end of February it<br />

is suggested you do so to save yourself from the<br />

unneeded stress that comes along with being late to<br />

an important meeting that you have scheduled with<br />

a very important/influential individual.<br />

LIBRA<br />

Born September 23 – October 23:<br />

The start of <strong>January</strong> may have you frustrated with<br />

your work. Since we’re entering Mercury Retrograde<br />

on <strong>January</strong> 5th and it doesn’t go direct until <strong>January</strong><br />

25th you will run into many challenges while<br />

communicating with clients or your superiors. But do<br />

not throw in the towel when you are bombarded with<br />

rejection or pushed aside to a later date because this<br />

Mercury Retrograde is just a lesson for you dear Libra<br />

to slow down your gumption and sit and ponder what<br />

really is going on. Now it would be a good time to<br />

reassess your approach to the tasks at hand and come<br />

up with logical and easier ways to reach out to these<br />

individuals without giving them the feeling of being<br />

pressured. Come February you will have devised a<br />

sure way to approach these individuals with tact and<br />

courtesy that you’re guaranteed to get the positive<br />

response you were after.<br />

Early <strong>January</strong> with mercury retrograde coupled with<br />

Uranus in Aries, you will find a lot of pushback from<br />

your significant other in regards to plans the two of<br />

you are making. They will not be very receptive and<br />

shoot down any and all of your ideas. It seems very<br />

harsh and you’re at a standstill wondering what the<br />

heck their problem is. But it’s not you, it’s not them,<br />

it’s the universe. Right now is not the time to do what<br />

it is you want to do at the moment and the universe<br />

is assisting in the only way you are receptive with a<br />

direct NO. Accept it and move on, do not argue or try<br />

to convince the other person to just give in as it will<br />

not work and you will just end up even more frustrated<br />

and feeling extremely let down.<br />

Over the past few months you’ve done a good job<br />

planting the seeds towards your financial future.<br />

Setting things in motion to assure a great financial<br />

windfall midyear. <strong>January</strong> and February you will be<br />

spending your money like crazy because you feel<br />

that you are in a good position to do so, but that’s<br />

not the case, your seeds are not yet cultivated and<br />

spending your rainy day money could lead to some<br />

disappointments in <strong>March</strong> when an unexpected<br />

expense arises and you do not have the funds to pay<br />

for it. Do not plan a trip to go on vacation in Jan, Feb<br />

or <strong>March</strong> as you’ll learn it will not go as planned.<br />

Emotions are high and finances are low so this trip<br />

would only end disastrous. You can plan a trip, just do<br />

not go on one until June at the earliest.<br />

Not all is bad in this quarter. The end of <strong>January</strong> or mid<br />

February you will be invited to a prestigious VIP only<br />

event by a close friend, an event you do not want to<br />

miss and one you should not miss. Make arrangements<br />

with your work schedule to allow yourself the time<br />

off to go. It may be out of town, not a vacation but<br />

an event that may require a few hours of travel and<br />

an overnight stay but one that will not cost you much<br />

if anything at all. At this event you will be pampered<br />

and treated like a queen/king. Dress to impress! The<br />

surroundings will be high class, beautifully decorated<br />

and decadent food as well as ambiance surround this<br />

event. A time for you to let your inner god/goddess<br />

shine through and soak up all the universe is sending<br />

to you.<br />

SCORPIO<br />

Born October 24 – November 21:<br />

<strong>January</strong> starts out pretty prestigious and exciting<br />

for you. Mars (the ruling planet of Scorpio) is in<br />

Scorpio now which is a prime spot that you want<br />

it to be. You’ll be center stage to all the events you<br />

attend and will be the focal point in everyone’s<br />

parties/events. This is a time for you to dictate and<br />

delegate. Those who do not follow your command<br />

will be sorry when you decide to wash your hands<br />

of them and kick them out of your inner circle.<br />

People are flocking towards you and looking<br />

for your direction as if they were sent to be your<br />

slave for the month. Be fair and kind but indulge<br />

in the power as you rarely get the opportunity for<br />

the universe to align so generously putting you in<br />

ultimate control.<br />

Some communications you have will others could<br />

come across abrasive and brash, but you do not care<br />

one bit, you have the power and you are using it to<br />

the fullest. But be careful through <strong>January</strong> 25th as<br />

Mercury is in retrograde and what is typically brash<br />

will come out forceful and mean. If you care about<br />

keeping future relationships with these individuals<br />

then you should pause and think before you speak.<br />

February you may find yourself becoming a bit<br />

selfish but you need to put yourself in check<br />

immediately as you run the risk of losing people<br />

that are very dear to your heart. There’s a couple<br />

individuals that you know would do anything in<br />

their power for you and they always have your back<br />

but lately you have not been very appreciative and<br />

rather than thanking them, you take on the persona<br />

of expecting it and assuming you deserve their<br />

selfless gratitude.<br />

Mid February you will get exciting news from<br />

a friend who is eager to help you with a project<br />

you have been talking about for months. Venture<br />

capital has arrived and the time to act on this new<br />

endeavor is now. You will have a rise in status as an<br />

outcome of this new venture and it will happen fast<br />

so be prepared and go with the flow as you own the<br />

position and shine. It could be from a promotion,<br />

a new business, a project you are launching or<br />

favorable publicity on tv or the radio.<br />

Romantically you will have no problem what so<br />

ever drawing in the admirers with little to no effort<br />

at all. If you’re single this is great news and if<br />

you’re in a relationship it’s even better because you<br />

and your partner will be able to regain that spark<br />

you had when you first met. Your pheromones are<br />

working in your favor, as is Mars in Scorpio.<br />

Venus will be in perfect sync with Neptune the last<br />

two days of <strong>January</strong> indicating your love life will<br />

deepen and your connection with your partner/love<br />

interest will flourish. You will have a deep desire to<br />

do anything and everything for the one you love to<br />

keep them happy, safe and secure.<br />

SAGITTARIUS<br />

Born November 22 – December 21:<br />

In <strong>January</strong> The Sun, The New Moon, Mercury and<br />

Pluto will be in your 2nd house (earned income)<br />

which shows a great financial windfall obtained<br />

from your hard work and devotion. All of the<br />

months leading up to now were well worth it as<br />

your new frame of mind to spend on a budget has<br />

prepared you to handle your finances this time<br />

around and put you in a better financial situation for<br />

many years to come.<br />

Jupiter is in your 10th house (honors, awards and<br />

achievements) indicating a powerful switch in your<br />

career status. A promotion or some sort of notoriety<br />

is very likely now. Anything you pitch will be well<br />

received.<br />

Uranus is in your 5th house (creativity) which<br />

may hinder any projects you are working on in the<br />

creative field. You’ll still succeed with landing the<br />

account but you may end up doing do at a financial<br />

cost to yourself due to miscommunications or false<br />

expectations you had.<br />

There will be unexpected costs involving children<br />

in February. Either your own children, niece or<br />

nephew or a friends child you are extremely close<br />

with just like they were part of your family. This<br />

child will approach you with a request for money<br />

or an item that costs money and it’s detrimental to<br />

either their future education or their career so you<br />

give in and give them whatever it is that they need.<br />

It may be a minor setback financially for you, but<br />

an endeavor you need to take and one that will be<br />

gratefully appreciated in years ahead.<br />

Do not change jobs in <strong>January</strong> or February as you<br />

will not be looking clearly at all the pitfalls this<br />

new job could create. The grass isn’t greener on<br />

the other side in this case. Something’s are being<br />

hidden from you on purpose which is skewing<br />

your judgment, allowing you to believe it’s the best<br />

opportunity for you, but trust that it is not.<br />

Stay alert with those close to you, family friends<br />

and colleagues as someone is about to attack at<br />

your weakest moment. Mars is in your 12th house<br />

(of secrets) and someone whom you thought was<br />

true to you is far from it and getting ready to sue<br />

you by using their inside advise against you. Or<br />

possibly someone is backstabbing you and talking<br />

behind your back as a defaming your character to<br />

your higher ups in order for them to get you out of<br />

their way so that they can capitalize on the position<br />

you are in. Stay confident and positive as you will<br />

overcome this shady person and show their true<br />

colors which in turn only makes you shine brighter<br />

and it all backfires on this individual.<br />

CAPRICORN<br />

Born December 22 – <strong>January</strong> 20:<br />

<strong>January</strong> will have Jupiter aligned in a perfect<br />

position bringing you luck to follow your dreams<br />

you have of a career/path you are very passionate<br />

about or even one you aren’t even aware of but<br />

will soon learn to find it is what you’re meant to<br />

be doing. You may be planning a long distance trip<br />

to a destination you’ve been wanting to go to but<br />

hadn’t had the time....now is the time. This long<br />

distance trip, or possibly even just long distance<br />

communications with someone from afar will be<br />

beneficial for fulfilling your dreams. This could be<br />

the start of your new life/destiny that will get you to<br />

greater heights than you had ever imagined.<br />

Early <strong>January</strong> you will receive some unsettling<br />

news about a real estate or housing matter that<br />

needs your attention and you’ll be notified of<br />

things that need to be fixed right away. Possibly a<br />

deal you recently closed on didn’t have the proper<br />

documents signed or recorded correctly, or maybe<br />

news of having to house a relative or put a parent<br />

in a nursing home or a settlement from a divorce<br />

being held up due to unforeseen circumstances.<br />

It will come about sudden with no indication in<br />

sight that would have allowed you to be prepared<br />

for it on a conscious level, but just keep your cool.<br />

Everything will work out just fine if you handle the<br />

situation amicably and with great detail to get the<br />

task at hand completed in a timely manner.<br />

Money looks to be coming in around early February,<br />

possibly from an earned commission or a loan you<br />

recently applied for. This will be a time to budget<br />

as a lot of money will be exchanging hands and you<br />

need to be prepared to budget your finances.<br />

In early February Venus will be in Capricorn and<br />

Mars will be in Scorpio indicating your social status<br />

will heighten and your social life will be full of<br />

activities. You will be romantically involved with<br />

another or many others (if single) and there’s an<br />

aura about you drawing other towards you during<br />

this time. You will definitely feel the energy that<br />

you are admired by many.<br />

February and <strong>March</strong> will have you re-analyzing<br />

your current friendships/acquaintances and reevaluating<br />

what they really bring to the table. You<br />

begin to see peoples true colors for what they really<br />

are and find its time to eliminate some people from<br />

your life. Not to be on a negative note, but to burden<br />

yourself from the toxic energy they are bringing to<br />

your life. Out with the old and in with the new.<br />

<strong>Zodi</strong>SCOPES<br />

<strong>Zodi</strong>SCOPES<br />

AQUARIUS<br />

Born <strong>January</strong> 20 – <strong>March</strong> 18:<br />

<strong>January</strong> 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<br />

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<br />

honors and bring about the courage you’ve been needing to make a transition in your career path. <strong>January</strong> 13th indicates a generous commission headed your way as<br />

Jupiter is bringing about good fortune financially. Be careful not to make and drastic changed in <strong>January</strong> during Mercury Retrograde. <strong>January</strong> is a time to get the wheels<br />

in motion for action you will take in February and <strong>March</strong>.<br />

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.<br />

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<br />

telling you how much they deeply care for you. The full moon passing through Leo on <strong>January</strong> 23rd will have your relationship challenged as your partner/love interest<br />

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<br />

detrimental impacts if not handled with care and mindfulness.<br />

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,<br />

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<br />

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<br />

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<br />

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<br />

this is your best financial attribute Aquarius.<br />

Lately you have been concerned about a medical issue that you have kept to yourself because you’re worried but <strong>January</strong> is the month to address this concern and speak<br />

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<br />

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<br />

think it is.<br />

PISCES<br />

Born February 19 – <strong>March</strong> 20:<br />

Your finances have been up and down lately but starting in <strong>January</strong> you will begin to see a positive shift. Money will come to you mid <strong>January</strong>, money that is owed to you,<br />

that you earned but never thought you’d receive. Jupiter will be in perfect alignment with The Sun on <strong>January</strong> 13th and this indicates money is on its way. This will be a<br />

prosperous month for you. Also, Venus is in your tenth house of career until the end of <strong>January</strong> and this is indicating sudden news of unexpected money headed your way.<br />

February or <strong>March</strong> 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<br />

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<br />

set their wheels in motion.<br />

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<br />

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<br />

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<br />

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<br />

will want to link you up with important individuals that will assist in furthering your career.<br />

Early February to early <strong>March</strong>, with Mars is in your 9th house (interactions with foreign people and places) is aligned with Neptune, your ruling planet (planet of dreams<br />

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<br />

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.<br />

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<br />

time. Now is the time and you will both benefit from this endeavor.<br />

<strong>January</strong> 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<br />

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<br />

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.<br />

You’re both very optimistic about the year ahead.<br />

HISTORY OF THE OSCARS® RESENTATION<br />

When the first Academy Awards® were handed out on May<br />

16, 1929, at an Academy banquet in the Blossom Room of the<br />

Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, movies had just begun to talk. The<br />

attendance was 270 and guest tickets cost $5. It was a long<br />

banquet, filled with speeches, but presentation of the statuettes<br />

was handled expeditiously by Academy President Douglas<br />

Fairbanks.<br />

The suspense that now touches most of the world at Oscar®<br />

time was not always acharacteristic of the Awards presentation.<br />

That first year, the award recipients were announced to the public<br />

three months ahead of the ceremony. For the next decade, the<br />

results were given in advance to newspapers for publication at<br />

11 p.m. on the night of the Awards. But in 1940, much to the<br />

Academy’s dismay, the Los Angeles Times broke the embargo<br />

and announced the winning achievements in its evening edition,<br />

which was readily available to guests arriving for the event. As<br />

a result, the Academy adopted the sealed-envelope system the<br />

next year, and the system remains in use today.<br />

Since the earliest years, interest in the Oscars® has run high,<br />

if not at the modern fever pitch. The first presentation was the<br />

only one to escape a media audience; by the second year,<br />

enthusiasm for the Awards was such that a Los Angeles radio<br />

station actually did a live one hour broadcast from the event. The<br />

ceremony has had broadcast coverage ever since.<br />

There have been only three circumstances that prevented the<br />

Academy Awards presentation from going off as scheduled.<br />

The first was in 1938, when destructive floods all but washed<br />

out Los Angeles and delayed the ceremony one week. In 1968<br />

the Awards ceremony was postponed from April 8 to April 10<br />

out of respect for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who had been<br />

assassinated a few days earlier, and whose funeral was held on<br />

April 9. In 1981 the Awards were postponed for 24 hours because<br />

of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. In<br />

2003, when U.S. forces invaded Iraq the Thursday before the<br />

telecast, the show went on, but the red carpet was limited to the<br />

area immediately in front of the theater entrance, the red carpet<br />

bleachers were eliminated and the bulk of the world’s press was<br />

not able to photograph or interview guests as they arrived. In<br />

2004 the red carpet returned in all its glitz and glamour.<br />

Attendance at the Oscars ceremony is<br />

by invitation only. No tickets are put on<br />

public sale.<br />

Achievements in up to 24 regular<br />

categories will be honored on February<br />

28, <strong>2016</strong>, at the 88th Oscars® presentation<br />

at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood &<br />

Highland Center®. However, the Academy<br />

won’t know how many statuettes it will<br />

actually hand out until the envelopes<br />

are opened on Oscar Night®. Although<br />

the number of categories will be known<br />

prior to the ceremony, the possibility of<br />

ties and of multiple recipients sharing<br />

the prize in some categories makes the<br />

exact number of Oscar statuettes to be<br />

presented unpredictable. As in previous<br />

years, any surplus awards will be housed<br />

in the Academy’s vault until next year’s<br />

event.<br />

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE OSCAR®<br />

Since the initial awards banquet on May 16, 1929, in the<br />

Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Blossom Room, over 3,000<br />

statuettes have been presented.<br />

The statuette stands 131/2 inches tall and weighs a robust 81/2<br />

pounds. The design of the statuette has never changed from<br />

its original conception, but the size of the base varied until the<br />

present standard was adopted in 1945. Officially named the<br />

Academy Award® of Merit, the statuette is better known by its<br />

nickname, Oscar, the origins of which aren’t clear.<br />

The 15 statuettes presented at the initial ceremonies were<br />

gold-plated solid bronze. Within a few years the bronze was<br />

abandoned in favor of britannia metal, a pewter-like alloy,<br />

which made it easier to give the statuettes their smooth finish.<br />

Because of the metals shortage<br />

during World War II, Oscars® were made of painted plaster<br />

for three years. Following the war, all of the awarded plaster<br />

figures were exchanged for gold-plated metal ones.<br />

The Oscar statuette is the most recognized award in the world.<br />

Its success as a symbol of achievement in filmmaking would<br />

doubtless amaze those who attended that dinner more than 80<br />

years ago, as well as its designer, Cedric Gibbons.<br />

JANUARY - MARCH <strong>2016</strong><br />

CELESTIAL EVENTS JANUARY - MARCH <strong>2016</strong><br />

JANUARY<br />

<strong>January</strong> 3, 4 - Quadrantids Meteor Shower - The<br />

Quadrantids is an above average shower, with up<br />

to 40 meteors per hour at its peak. The shower<br />

runs annually from <strong>January</strong> 1-5. It peaks this year<br />

on the night of the 3rd and morning of the 4th.<br />

<strong>January</strong> 5-25 - Mercury Retrograde - Mercury<br />

Retrograde begins on <strong>January</strong> 5th at 1° Aquarius,<br />

and goes direct on <strong>January</strong> 25th at 14° Capricorn.<br />

This Mercury retrograde will be one of the most<br />

challenging in a long time. Intense battles of beliefs<br />

will lead to greater chaos, intolerance and aggression.<br />

FEBRUARY<br />

February 7 - Mercury at Greatest Western Elongation.<br />

The planet Mercury reaches greatest western<br />

elongation of 25.6 degrees from the Sun. This is the<br />

best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest<br />

point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for<br />

the planet low in the eastern sky just before sunrise.<br />

MARCH<br />

<strong>March</strong> 8 - Jupiter at Opposition. The giant planet will<br />

be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be<br />

fully illuminated by the Sun. It will be brighter than<br />

any other time of the year and will be visible all night<br />

long. This is the best time to view and photograph<br />

Jupiter and its moons. A medium-sized telescope<br />

should be able to show you some of the details in<br />

Jupiter’s cloud bands. A good pair of binoculars<br />

should allow you to see Jupiter’s four largest moons,<br />

appearing as bright dots on either side of the planet.<br />

<strong>March</strong> 9 - New Moon<br />

<strong>March</strong> 9 - Total Solar Eclipse. A total solar eclipse<br />

occurs when the moon completely blocks the Sun,<br />

revealing the Sun’s beautiful outer atmosphere<br />

known as the corona. The path of totality will only<br />

be visible in parts of central Indonesia and the<br />

Pacific Ocean. A partial eclipse will be visible in most<br />

parts of northern Australia and southeast Asia.<br />

JANUARY<br />

<strong>January</strong> 7 - Jupiter Retrograde - Jupiter Retrograde<br />

begins on <strong>January</strong> 7th at 23° Virgo, and goes direct<br />

on May 9th at 13° Virgo. Jupiter’s retrograde<br />

encourages us to slow down, pull back and make sure<br />

we aren’t wandering off the Path that is right for us.<br />

<strong>January</strong> 10 - New Moon<br />

<strong>January</strong> 24 - Full Moon<br />

FEBRUARY<br />

February 8 - New Moon<br />

February 22 - Full Moon<br />

MARCH<br />

<strong>March</strong> 20 - <strong>March</strong> Equinox. The <strong>March</strong> equinox<br />

occurs at 04:30 UTC. The Sun will shine directly<br />

on the equator and there will be nearly equal<br />

amounts of day and night throughout the world.<br />

This is also the first day of spring (vernal equinox)<br />

in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of fall<br />

(autumnal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.<br />

<strong>March</strong> 23 - Full Moon<br />

<strong>March</strong> 23 - Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. A penumbral<br />

lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes<br />

through the Earth’s partial shadow, or penumbra.<br />

During this type of eclipse the Moon will darken<br />

slightly but not completely. The eclipse will be<br />

visible throughout most of extreme eastern Asia,<br />

eastern Australia, the Pacific Ocean, and the west<br />

coast of North America including Alaska.<br />

Year of the Monkey<br />

By Timothy Umney<br />

The Chinese New Year of the Monkey will start on February 8, <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

In the traditional Chinese Astrology, the Monkey is very intelligent, hyperactive and strong-minded. He represents the unfettered mind<br />

freed from inhibitions and guilt. Relieving himself from the heavy burdens of a touchy conscience, the Monkey type will not hesitate to<br />

test his theories, experiment and think the unthinkable. In his domain, everything is possible. What is difficult, he could do right away;<br />

what is impossible may take a little longer.<br />

The positive and negative quality of The Year of The Monkey <strong>2016</strong><br />

The influence of the Monkey puts everything into motion. Things will get accomplished, but largely through personal and individual<br />

efforts. Group movements, such as political upheaval or revolutions, will not make a mark during this year.<br />

This animal (the monkey) bursts with exuberance, bringing a lightning fast pace and an unbelievable amount of motivation. The Monkey<br />

increases communication, humor and wit, helping us get through stressful times with grace and ease. Business flourishes and risks tend<br />

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.<br />

Talk is cheap though, so be on the alert for deceptions. With so much mental energy around, everyone needs to re-think their fitness<br />

program, diet and health plan. If you don’t have one, you definitely need to instigate some form of regular physical activity this year.<br />

It’ll be a lively, optimistic and progressive year where finances, politics, and real estate should see an upturn, there will be a decided<br />

undercurrent of insecurity. Everyone wants to work the shrewdest angle, get the best deal, and win big. However, business decisions<br />

made this year should be based on fact, not emotion. Problems can still arise, so nothing this year should be taken for granted, whether<br />

politically, financially, professionally, domestically or emotionally.<br />

A particularly promising time for new inventions, the Year of the Monkey is for taking risks and being rebellious, a year where agile,<br />

inventive minds, sheer guts and bravado will win out. Now is the time of courage, action, anarchy, and true devotion to even the wildest<br />

of schemes, a time to start new endeavors, for they are destined to succeed under Monkey’s influence.<br />

The Year Of The Monkey <strong>2016</strong> is a time for planting the seeds in a new venture, embracing new business concepts, creating new<br />

inventions and the confidence to forge ahead.<br />

This year will reward the individual effort, those who are doing things independently. And those who place their trust in a team or a<br />

group effort, will face disappointment.<br />

Q<br />

<strong>Zodi</strong>tastrophyBy: Styla Jones<br />

I’m a Scorpio and have my eye on a certain Leo. I’m<br />

curious to know if it’s a compatible sign.<br />

We sort-of-know each other through work but have<br />

not gone out. He is extremely handsome and is<br />

always flirting with me every chance he gets. I can<br />

tell he’s into me but neither of us have made the time<br />

outside of work to get together yet because of our<br />

hectic schedules. Before I invest too much thought<br />

on him I wanted to see what the stars show. Is he<br />

worth my time, is a Leo my soul mate sign?<br />

I have never actually dated a Leo, but I have dated<br />

an Aries which is another fire sign so I walk with<br />

caution since Leo is a fire sign too. The Aries I was<br />

with was bossy and controlling and only absorbed<br />

with his work with no time for me. I don’t want to<br />

make the same mistake again wasting time getting<br />

to know someone to find out he’s not even remotely<br />

close to being compatible for my sign. I’m a true<br />

Scorpio through and through.<br />

I follow all of the Scorpion traits I’ve read about<br />

so I know my faults and high points but not sure<br />

about Leo’s. Any insight you could provide about a<br />

relationship with a Scorpio and a Leo I’d appreciate.<br />

Thank you.<br />

-Rebecca<br />

A<br />

Dear Rebecca,<br />

Leo rules the house of romance and affairs (the Fifth House) and<br />

Scorpio rules the house of sexual intimacy and lust (the Eighth<br />

House). Both signs are extremely passionate, making this the anchor<br />

of their relationship. Beyond that, unfortunately, these two signs have<br />

no other reason to be together. They constantly battle over who’s the<br />

boss and dominant one in the relationship and that will make this<br />

volatile pairing almost impossible.<br />

Scorpios are motivated when it comes to business and have a true<br />

entrepreneur spirit about them. They are innovative, very creative<br />

and extremely hard workers. They will often feel that a Leo is a lazy<br />

individual, always waiting for someone else to do the work for them<br />

while they get credit. They think that Leo’s arrogance to delegate<br />

everything to others shows their lack of interest in anything of<br />

substance.<br />

Leos are very demanding and expect things done their way and<br />

require constant praise and admiration but a Scorpion will not stand<br />

for this. A Scorpio will not take orders from anyone, especially not<br />

their partner they are in a relationship with. And a Scorpio doesn’t<br />

want to be forced to complement someone just to keep them happy,<br />

they prefer to give genuine & sincere compliments.<br />

Scorpios are great listeners and attentive but in return they expect the<br />

same from their partner, fair is fair. But there’s no way that a Leo will<br />

stop being self-consumed enough to cater to the Scorpios emotional<br />

needs. Leo’s are too self-absorbed most of the time to even care what<br />

their partner is talking about.<br />

While the sex and lust for one another is strong, this pair can never<br />

last outside of the bedroom. They are two domineering personalities<br />

with their own set of rules that do not complement one another at all.<br />

This pair may be fun for a fling, but nothing more.<br />

With that said Rebecca, I’d advise not wasting your time with this<br />

one.<br />

Sunrises and Sunsets<br />

New Year’s resolutions are a long-held tradition, marking<br />

new beginnings and renewed commitments for more of what we<br />

hope for, but fell short of achieving in the years prior. Marked<br />

with motivation and newfound pledges, the best of resolutions<br />

often fade to the wayside by February.<br />

So this year, how about a New Year’s resolution that makes<br />

the top of the list for priorities, is guaranteed to be personally<br />

enriching, and is met with complete success in just two months?<br />

Instead of planning your life, how about planning your death!?<br />

We often spend so much time focusing on specific goals, that<br />

we easily overlook the omnipresent aspect of our life... agingand<br />

ultimately being a conscious participant in our own future<br />

passing. Acknowledging these two inevitable realities creates<br />

a wonderful opportunity to personally define your destiny for<br />

gracious and dynamic aging, while thoughtfully putting your<br />

signature on the specific details of your future providence. It’s<br />

letting your body and your spirit depart on YOUR own terms.<br />

However, final-affairs planning is also an incredibly important<br />

component of your existing life affairs today. It’s far more than<br />

just matters such as advance care planning aspects, advance<br />

directives, and your Last Will and Testament. It’s really about<br />

having peace of mind while you are living!<br />

Done right, it is a rewarding personal journey, involving a multilayered<br />

approach that creates an opportunity for heartening<br />

growth, transcendence into new levels of higher consciousness,<br />

and confidence that your desires will be carried forth as you<br />

deem them. It’s a chance to set the record straight, to un-clutter<br />

your conscience, and define the legacy YOU wish to leave.<br />

By Holley Kelley<br />

The New Year’s Resolution With Flair,<br />

Finesse And FUNctionality Creating<br />

A New Peace Of Mind<br />

Instead of planning your life this <strong>January</strong>, how about planning your death--ENJOYABLY!?<br />

When your affairs are in order, you have distinguished your<br />

future in spectacular detail, as well as eased unnecessary<br />

burdens from your loved ones. Doing so provides the perfect<br />

opportunity to do a house-cleaning self-reflection, to relive<br />

what is special and unique about your life, to leave behind a<br />

distinctive written legacy that serves as a virtual and meaningful<br />

remembrance of you. It is a way to avoid familial discord, by<br />

making important decisions about your life and preferencesutilizing<br />

dependable faculties and sound mind. When finalaffairs<br />

planning is purposefully embraced, it makes the second<br />

half of life more rewarding, happier and more deeply soulful.<br />

Consider taking these actions as part of your 2015 Final<br />

Affairs resolutions:<br />

• Creating a bucket list is a wonderful exercise,<br />

allowing you to identify life pursuits and interests you dream of<br />

experiencing. It serves as a blueprint for future fulfillment and<br />

adventure! Furthermore, it’s a way for you to truly express your<br />

soul-driven desires.<br />

• But, what is equally important is the “kick-the-bucket<br />

list;” defining anything that must transpire so that you can<br />

consciously and virtuously solidify your life’s passage with<br />

genuine peace and comfort. Such items include resolving<br />

long-held feuds, making peace or amends, asking forgiveness<br />

from yourself or others. The point is to ensure you remain in<br />

complete concord with yourself and those you care about.<br />

Completing a bucket list and a “kick-the-bucket” list can be a<br />

revitalizing and liberating experience, providing surprisingly<br />

new opportunities for spiritually-enlightened living.<br />

• Funeral planning is another area of importance<br />

and allows you to design every detail regarding your life<br />

celebration. This soul-soothing exercise can be really<br />

enjoyable, allowing you to personally create your own<br />

farewell-one that really reflects your self-expression--a<br />

last “themed” festivity for instance, or something with<br />

special nuance (think doves, butterflies, uplifting music<br />

choices from your life history). Let this be a connection to<br />

your living heart and your everlasting spirit.<br />

• Well-orchestrated, pre-determined funerals<br />

encourage healing and heartfelt remembrance for those<br />

left behind. Wise funeral planning also includes writing<br />

your own obituary, a reflective task that tells the world who<br />

you are, who you love and what is significant about your<br />

amazing life. You’d be surprised to see the immeasurable<br />

gratitude this elicits from your survivors!<br />

• From family trees, archiving family history, to<br />

logging important family medical information and financial<br />

information-each is a vital and unique piece of the final<br />

affairs planning puzzle-including itemizing meaningful<br />

personal mementos, family heirlooms and sharing<br />

family customs. Defining who gets what in advance can<br />

circumvent family quarrels and conflict because wishes<br />

have been clearly conveyed. Planning and recording all<br />

these matters in advance prevents indecision, infighting,<br />

and hurt feelings that often plague families.<br />

• In “putting your house in order,” this presents<br />

a perfect opportunity to also release those items you no<br />

longer need, that don’t contribute to your joy and welfare<br />

any more, and that would only be left for your family to<br />

sort through and discard. Find other places (shelters,<br />

thrift shops, direct donations to others, etc.)---where<br />

your “things” can be loved and appreciated--a wonderful<br />

uplifting feeling knowing they have gone on to bring joy to<br />

someone else. And a relief to your survivors!<br />

• While there are many areas of comprehensive<br />

final affairs planning, one area not to overlook is sharing<br />

your wishes with your family and medical providers. This<br />

is one of the most important aspects related to your<br />

planning endeavors.<br />

• Yet, there is also a chance for you to impact<br />

not only your own healing, but the healing of your loved<br />

ones. Besides leaving a written legacy of your life for<br />

them to have as a warm and loving memorial to you,<br />

there is an opportunity to write letters to individual family<br />

members and friends, a beautiful “gift” to those you love,<br />

when you are no longer present to do so. Explanations of<br />

your decisions, wishes for their future, encouragement,<br />

wisdom, requests for family to stay connected, letters to<br />

the future bride or grandchildren yet to be born.... You can<br />

impact their lives long after you are gone.<br />

In writing my book, Sunrises and Sunsets, Final Affairs<br />

Forged with Flair, Finesse, and FUNctionality, I was<br />

determined to take the trepidation out of end-of-life<br />

planning and actually make the process engaging and<br />

fun. The secret recipe for richer enjoyment and deeper<br />

satisfaction is ensuring all areas of advance care<br />

planning are achieved now...well before the crisis point.<br />

Completing these important initiatives must be done while<br />

you are capable of making these paramount decisions<br />

independently and with a positive and optimistic outlook.<br />

The best time to plan for later is now. Doing so certainly<br />

allows for renewed spiritual advancement and encourages<br />

familial elevation in incomparable ways. It’s the ideal way<br />

to start <strong>2016</strong>!<br />

REACHING<br />

FOR INSIGHTS<br />

Stories of Love, Faith, and<br />

the Kitchen Sink<br />

Reaching for Insights: Stories of Love, Faith, and the Kitchen Sink<br />

is Mitch Rosenzweig’s thoughtful collection of rich vignettes that is<br />

meaningful for people seeking inspiration, self-care, and a new way of<br />

looking themselves and how they navigate life’s daily challenges. With<br />

more than 200 brief essays penned from the author’s personal and<br />

professional observations and experiences, there is something relateable<br />

for anyone within this motivational treasure. At its core, this unique<br />

and charming book attempts to access that well-defended sense of<br />

self. The writings always start by looking at an ordinary situation, one<br />

that most people can relate to-such as the angst of hosting the family<br />

gathering for Thanksgiving, or getting lost from an errant GPS, or<br />

the neighbor’s dog that incessantly barks-and then, through a twist,<br />

a play on words, an analogy or a metaphor, reaching a different-but<br />

meaningful-conclusion.<br />

It’s a back-door approach to self-awareness and self-care that avoids<br />

all of the disapproving junk that we all carry around. Although not<br />

necessarily a life-changing shift, it helps to think about something in a<br />

different way. This opens up new vistas for understanding and behavior.<br />

By: Mitch Rosenzweig<br />

do to make money, but what we are all about. Simple messages<br />

that convey our values and character. Just reach into your<br />

pocket and pass it out. It certainly would cut down on the<br />

guessing and confusion.<br />

What would your card say? Would it be covered in 6-point<br />

font with all the things you think you are-barely readable,<br />

but comprehensive? Would it include your life roles, such as<br />

husband, wife, father or mother? Would it show an important<br />

value or quality-like optimistic, or “I believe”? Perhaps it<br />

would show your wishes or dreams. The possibilities are<br />

seemingly endless. But of course, the more you cram on it the<br />

more confusing it gets.<br />

I know what mine would say. Clean and simple, with no flowery<br />

distractions. Simple black and white type, with the largest font<br />

that would fit. It would encompass everything I am and that I<br />

value. Five words would say it all. With apologies to Descartes,<br />

it would simply say: I care, therefore I am. What’s in your<br />

pocket?<br />

Now You Have Everything<br />

At my house, everybody used to help out. And it seems it may be that way around the world. Why, it’s is almost<br />

as much of a tradition as the meal itself. After hours of fussing in the kitchen and an equal amount of feasting,<br />

laughing, and dessert-eating we all seemed to bond again around getting the remains cleaned up. The table<br />

had been so full there was barely room for our plates. A dish for everything - and everything delicious. But with<br />

all the anticipation and most of the food gone, the used dishes were piled on every surface and overflowing. From<br />

fine china to burnt bean casserole, the debris was everywhere. You would have thought we fed the 7th Marines.<br />

We didn’t have a dishwasher; we had five of them - and dryers too. Wrap, box, bag and put away the<br />

leftovers and scale the mountain of dishes. Scrape, soak, wash, rinse, dry and put away. It seemed<br />

endless. Although the work wasn’t enjoyable, we had fun, all laughing and smiling, everyone pitching<br />

in, almost dancing in the kitchen. And just when you thought the last dish was done, a few more<br />

would magically appear. It was hot and sweaty, but we didn’t mind... we were family.<br />

In the joyful moments we forget about all the hard work that it took to get us to the feast and the challenges<br />

that still await. For some, that may be the holiday buffet in our homes. For others, it is the promise of eternal<br />

salvation. Either way, it takes work to get there. And there will always be dirty dishes left over from our banquet.<br />

So as you plan and prepare in your life, wash away what is done and move toward your potential. Go<br />

ahead and use a new dish for each of your accomplishments and challenges - there is plenty of room<br />

on the table. It will all fit. When your day is done, take time to clean up and be grateful for those that<br />

have helped you enjoy your buffet. Our feast is nothing more than a sandwich without them. Without<br />

love we would certainly starve. And there is no such thing as unwanted leftovers of love.<br />

When I think back on those long gone days it is not the dishes I remember. It’s the joy of<br />

being together. Gathered around the kitchen sink, we washed ourselves clean of any other<br />

junk that remained. And we had piles and piles of potential in the clean.<br />

Heaven may have an amazing buffet, but I sure hope that it has dirty dishes. Gather around and<br />

grab a cloth. Together, we can get it done. We can’t have everything without the kitchen sink.<br />

The author’s candor and light-hearted approach, combined with simple<br />

language and a dry sense of humor draws in the reader. Collectively<br />

these stories remind us that we are not alone in our daily situations and<br />

struggles. They encourage readers to view even the most mundane<br />

parts of life from a different perspective, one that inspires them to<br />

see life’s challenges and celebrations in a new light.<br />

Rosenzweig has been a licensed Clinical Social Worker and<br />

Psychotherapist for more than 25 years. Currently, he is working for the<br />

Air Force in Washington State, helping active duty military servicemen<br />

and servicewomen with their life challenges. Mitch holds a BA in<br />

Psychology from Rutgers University and a Master’s in Social Work<br />

from the University of Michigan.<br />

Enjoy the following sample essays..........<br />

Get Carded<br />

Every place I worked, I would get new ones. If I had kept one<br />

of each business card, I could have probably wallpapered my<br />

house. Even though they all they were all the same, they were<br />

different. Each was unique in color, photos, and design. But<br />

in their essence, the function is the same: to proclaim, to the<br />

lucky receiver, who you are and what you do, in tiny 6-point<br />

font. Yup, in 3.5 x 2 inches, you’re supposed to say everything<br />

someone needs to know about you.<br />

How often we spend our time trying to figure out people. What<br />

makes them tick-why would they act this way or that way, or<br />

say something like that? We receive all kinds of messages, most<br />

of the time mixed, about who they are trying to be or what they<br />

are trying to communicate.<br />

How simple life would be if we could just walk up to someone<br />

and hand them a card that would say it all. Not what it is we<br />

The Zone<br />

At the gym, some of the equipment has them built right in;<br />

you just grab them and they tell you all kinds of information.<br />

Ideally, you are supposed to be at a certain heart rate,<br />

to maximize your efforts. But to actually get an accurate<br />

reading you either have to stop what you’re doing or, like me,<br />

hold on to the handles for dear life until it registers. Without<br />

them, it seems next to impossible to tell your heart rate or<br />

pulse. Just because you’re tired or out of breath doesn’t mean<br />

your workout has been effective. Too fast or too slow and you<br />

are not in the critical zone.<br />

Many of us spend our days trying to chillaxe, relax, detox,<br />

and meditate away life’s challenges. Many things seem to<br />

assault us each day that we need to overcome, get over, or<br />

run away from. We seek solace in our own unique ways to get<br />

rid of whatever the yuck might be. We dream of trouble-free<br />

white sand beaches and tropical breezes. It is one of the most<br />

common things discussed in counseling: how to let go and let<br />

life. Many of us aren’t very good at it.<br />

But if we spin too fast we burn more than calories. We wear<br />

ourselves out from being on the edge of spent. And a life of<br />

meditation offers no opportunity for growth or love. Without<br />

things that make our heart race, we just exist fat and<br />

unhappy. We are born to seize opportunities, risky or not, to<br />

achieve our maximum potential. That moment when you first<br />

know love, the exuberance of finding your purpose and “aha”<br />

of understanding: these are the sweet spots of the critical zone.<br />

Do one thing a day that scares you, something that thrills<br />

you, settles you, and expresses your love and you will find your<br />

sweet spot and achieve maximum potential.<br />

Superman and Elvis Did, Too<br />

I felt like Elvis, swiveling my hip into the slightly stuck front door; my hands were<br />

full in my superhuman feat of carrying 14 plastic grocery bags in from the car.<br />

Real men don’t make two trips. As it swung in a bit too fast, I heard a satisfying<br />

“boing” and the door swung angrily back at me, knob into ribs. Ouch! Doorstop<br />

must have been loaded and waiting for the unsuspecting. Although it saved<br />

the wall from the hole-inserting doorknob, my ribs are a little offended<br />

from its anger. A softer rebound and a louder expletive and I was inside.<br />

Of course, we all know the metaphors about doors and the future. One open,<br />

one shut, on the threshold, etcetera, etcetera...I confess that I have cheaply<br />

used them a few times. Yawn. But what about the lowly doorstop silently<br />

waiting for that flung door? No poems or prose written, it just sits there slightly<br />

screwed waiting for its opportunity to serve. I am sure that none even give it a<br />

second thought unless they have hound-dog hips and hit the door too hard.<br />

But I am grateful for the doorstops in my world. Being a seeker and<br />

adventurer, I always fling open doors. Forget the timid peek, let’s<br />

rock that door open and see what is on the other side. Screaming fans,<br />

adulation, love me tender? I am in! Well that is, until I go too hard<br />

or too fast and then it’s nothing but heartbreak and bruised ribs.<br />

Your doorstops are as important as your doors. They are there to stop you<br />

when you go too far and prevent you from doing too much damage. They<br />

serve to ground you when you go too fast and spring back with reality when you<br />

think you are Superman or Elvis. Yet, they don’t inhibit your swinging groove and<br />

are totally invisible when you are moving at the right speed. I am grateful to my<br />

doorstops in life-mom, my family, and my faith for helping to slow me down when I go<br />

too fast. A little poke in the ribs reminds me that I am not Superman, just plain ‘ole me.<br />

But every once in a while I make the perfect entrance, and I can hear the<br />

loudspeaker announcing, “Elvis has entered the building.”<br />

arrogance and ego, their stability, or even their<br />

caring sensitive side that every woman wants<br />

to have in their lives. But a man’s ego is what<br />

makes him need to receive a lot of attention<br />

from many women and surround himself with<br />

many female “friends”. Without the attention he<br />

feels as if something is missing and will doubt<br />

himself, his attractiveness, dominance and<br />

position in his life.<br />

Sadly, the reason these woman are okay with<br />

being just close “friends” is because they too<br />

are insecure and need the attention. Plus, most<br />

woman want what they can’t have so they stick<br />

around him hoping for some sort of commitment<br />

even though they know he’s in a relationship<br />

and he put them in the friend zone for now; they<br />

still haven’t given up hope since the chase is<br />

fun for them, hoping one day to conquer. These<br />

“so called friends” are really just his admirers<br />

trying to break into his sensitive side, the side<br />

you, as his girlfriend get to see when he feels<br />

comfortable with you and lets his guard down.<br />

It’s quite possible that these female “friends”<br />

have broken through to see his sensitive side too<br />

or maybe it’s part of his suave approach to draw<br />

them in by giving a little but not all and that just<br />

draws them into him even more with false hope<br />

of what may be if they can get him to commit<br />

to them and choose them over the others. Of<br />

course they have ulterior motives, and they are<br />

never going to be loyal to you, they want your<br />

man’s attention and you are just an obstacle.<br />

Even if he has no sexual attraction to them,<br />

he has ulterior motives as well since he only<br />

keeps them around to boost his self-esteem.<br />

Be assured though, odds are, if he wanted<br />

them he’d be with them. He may be sleeping<br />

with them on the side but hasn’t committed to<br />

them as they are just a game he’s playing to<br />

get himself to a feel good moment where he’s<br />

desired by many. Truth is, many men play this<br />

game and it’s not all about ego as it is about<br />

their extremely low self-esteem they are trying<br />

to hide from others. If they knew themselves and<br />

respected themselves they wouldn’t need all<br />

the attention from every female; they wouldn’t<br />

need the validation, all they would need is your<br />

attention, the attention of their girlfriend they<br />

promised to be committed to. If they respected<br />

themselves and they cared about themselves<br />

then they would work on building a relationship<br />

that meant a lot to them. However some men<br />

really aren’t sure what means a lot to them and<br />

they are lost looking for it everywhere else then<br />

within.<br />

Unfortunately when he’s opening the door<br />

to everyone and accepting their praises and<br />

admiration he is disrespecting you and your<br />

relationship just to satisfy his need to feel<br />

wanted by the opposite sex. My guess is that<br />

he’s been doing this his whole life and it’s an<br />

addiction. He doesn’t know how to stop flirting<br />

and getting attention, the euphoria feels great,<br />

he loves to know other people want him because<br />

he doesn’t see the true value in himself.<br />

I’d suggest speaking with him openly and letting<br />

him know how you feel disrespected and how it<br />

makes you question your relationship and his<br />

loyalty to you when he’s giving as much, if not<br />

more attention to the<br />

people he barely even<br />

knows just for a small<br />

return of attention from<br />

them. If he tells you that<br />

you’re over-reacting<br />

and they are his friends,<br />

stop being jealous, you<br />

need to deal with it, or<br />

anything other than he’s<br />

sorry and will change<br />

to please you and work<br />

on strengthening your<br />

relationship, then it’s<br />

time for you to move on.<br />

It’s a toxic relationship<br />

and he cares more<br />

about his self-fulfilling<br />

needs then he cares<br />

about you.<br />

Beware<br />

of DATING<br />

a Man With<br />

Female “FRIends”<br />

By Natasha Myers<br />

In order for any relationship to work there needs<br />

to be boundaries. No man needs a handful of<br />

female friends while he is in a relationship. He<br />

should be getting all the attention he needs<br />

with his partner and giving all of himself to his<br />

partner… not to other women outside of the<br />

relationship he’s wanting to grow and deepen.<br />

Having friends/acquaintances of the opposite<br />

sex is totally fine but boundaries need to be<br />

drawn. It is NOT okay for him to share things<br />

with his female friends as he would with his<br />

male friends, it is NOT okay for him to ask<br />

his female friends for advice about his current<br />

relationship and it is definitely NOT okay for him<br />

to pay more attention to his female friend then<br />

he does to his partner.<br />

Bottom line is; if you address your concerns<br />

with him and he sees nothing wrong with it and<br />

is unwilling to change his ways to make you<br />

feel secure and confident in your relationship<br />

then he is not the man for you. A man you see<br />

yourself spending your life with or even just a<br />

portion of your life with should not make you<br />

feel any type of negative way what-so-ever.<br />

You should never doubt where you stand with<br />

him nor should you feel like you come second<br />

fiddle to another person. He should never give<br />

you a reason to question his love or doubt his<br />

loyalty. If your views are different and neither<br />

of you will reach a compromise (not his way or<br />

no way), then it’s not a relationship nor is there<br />

any respect. Move on. You’ll know if he truly<br />

loves you when he wants to make you happy<br />

no matter what. Those female “friends” should<br />

not be his priority nor should he care how<br />

they will feel if he stops speaking with him.<br />

YOU should be his #1 priority at all times, no<br />

one else. You are the one he asked to be his<br />

girlfriend, the one he committed to and has to<br />

take responsibility to honor that commitment<br />

or not be in a relationship.<br />

His only concern should be how you feel as<br />

that’s the only way you will know you have a<br />

strong and solid relationship that will last. A<br />

man that is emotionally detached is only that<br />

way because he has yet to find himself. As the<br />

age old saying goes “you need to love yourself<br />

before you can ever love another”. There are<br />

no truer words as these are words to live by.<br />

To hurt another person because you don’t<br />

know yourself yet is just mean and selfish.<br />

So in my opinion, no, you are not the crazy<br />

jealous insecure girlfriend! All you are asking<br />

of your partner is his partnership, true love,<br />

commitment, loyalty and respect. These<br />

are the things that make a relationship a<br />

relationship. If these things are missing, then<br />

it’s not a relationship. It’s just a temporary<br />

lusting and control over each other. Move on,<br />

life’s too short to fix others or mold them how<br />

you want them to be. Eventually you’ll find the<br />

right man, the one who values you so much<br />

that he can’t imagine his life without you and<br />

NO GIRL WANTS A GUY WHO FLIRTS WITH EVERYONE<br />

SHE WANTS TO FEEL SPECIAL<br />

SHE WANTS TO BE THE ONLY LOVE IN YOUR LIFE<br />

If you’re that guy that really believes you have a “real friendship” with<br />

other females and want to keep her around in your life but still be in<br />

your relationship with your girlfriend then you should ask yourself these<br />

questions and see if it’s acceptable or not. Odds are you’re holding on<br />

to these female “friends for the wrong reason and trying to justify/lie to<br />

yourself and others on why you keep them around.<br />

Advice/Reality Check For Men:<br />

If You Want To Make A Relationship Work and Grow With Your<br />

Girlfriend...Then Lose the Female “Friends”<br />

Have you ever slept with this female “friend”? Like ever? Even if it was<br />

years ago and haven’t since but at some point of knowing her have you<br />

had sex or made out?<br />

If the answer is yes, then by no means what-so-ever is it morally okay for<br />

you to continue the friendship with this female while you are in a committed<br />

relationship with your girlfriend.<br />

Is your female friend single? Or is she in a committed, stable and<br />

secure relationship with someone? Is she genuinely happy in her life<br />

with her boyfriend/significant other or are their highs and lows?<br />

If she is single or in an unhappy relationship and not tied down emotionally<br />

to another then no it is not okay for you to still be part of her life as “friends”<br />

when you’re in a committed relationship with your girlfriend. Girls know that<br />

another female will always rebound with the man they are closest to and<br />

your girlfriend is not okay with you being the side guy to emotionally support<br />

and comfort another woman other than her.<br />

Does your female “friend” dislike your girlfriend for no reason other<br />

than she’s another female in your life? Does your female friend find<br />

faults with every one of your girlfriends and voice her opinion to you<br />

as to why you shouldn’t be with them other than giving solid advice<br />

backed up with facts to support her genuine concern to you as a friend?<br />

Some female “friends” may secretly have a thing for you and they really do<br />

not want to see you in a relationship. Even though they may not want to be<br />

with you on that level they don’t want to lose the attention you are giving to<br />

them. These friends need to go! You cannot keep them around as they will<br />

never be a supportive friend and will have ulterior motives that will be toxic<br />

to your relationship with your girlfriend.<br />

Does your girlfriend genuinely dislike your female friend? Does she tell<br />

you that this female friend has motives that you are blinded by and that<br />

she doesn’t feel comfortable with you having her around?<br />

In this case you need to side with your girlfriend. If she is the one you want<br />

to be with and see yourself growing together with, then you must end your<br />

so called “friendship“ with the other female as it will only cause tension in<br />

your relationship. You need to decide if this is the girl you want to be with<br />

or if you’re okay just being single and holding onto your female “friend” who<br />

admires you and boosts your self-esteem.<br />

will always make you his #1 priority no matter<br />

what!<br />

Men with female “friends” while still in a<br />

relationship aren’t bad horrible people. They<br />

are just lost and looking for answers within<br />

themselves. They are emotionally detached<br />

because they haven’t yet found out who they<br />

are and what they want. So in order to be fair<br />

to both of you; if you can’t compromise and<br />

work on fixing this insecurity he’s dealing<br />

with and the insecurity he’s bringing into your<br />

relationship by making you have doubts; then<br />

it’s time to let him go so he can find himself<br />

and so you can find the REAL relationship that<br />

you deserve and know that you want.<br />

Is your female friend someone you knew from childhood and genuinely<br />

a friend who supports you every step of the way and loves almost<br />

every girlfriend you bring around and goes out of her way to get to<br />

know your girlfriend and be as good of friends with her as she is with<br />

you? Does your female “friend” act more like your homeboy who could<br />

care less that you’re dating as long as you’re happy and always makes<br />

your girlfriend feel part of the group and wanted around?<br />

In this case she may genuinely be your friend and make your girlfriend feel at<br />

ease. However, remember to still hold respect for your girlfriend at all times<br />

so she never doubts your intentions with this female “friend”. Don’t ever go<br />

out with this female “friend” without inviting your girlfriend too. Don’t ever pay<br />

more attention to your female “friend” in front of your girlfriend and do not<br />

constantly bring her up. Your girlfriend may tolerate her but truth is she’s only<br />

compromising because she loves you;<br />

Things you should Never EVER do with a female “friend” if you<br />

are in a relationship that you want to work:<br />

** Do not spend special occasions like holidays with your female<br />

“friend” without your girlfriend there and orchestrating the event<br />

** Never go out on a date-like outing such as movies or dinner or fill in<br />

as a guest to a wedding or work party with your female “friend”.<br />

** Do not go on road trips with your female “friend”, that’s too much<br />

alone time together with “her”<br />

** You may never ever ever crash at your female “friends” house.<br />

Sleepovers are not acceptable ever! Not even if you are stranded<br />

without a ride, you find a phone and call or take a cab home regardless<br />

of how much it’ll cost. And crashing at their house because you’re out<br />

of state and they live there is not okay either.<br />

**Do not spend the day with your female “friend” while your girlfriend<br />

is home alone. Always invite her to go and if she declines but you<br />

sense a vibe that she’s not comfortable with you going, then do not go!<br />

Bottom line is, if you’re not ready to let go of these other females in your<br />

life, then you’re not ready to have a girlfriend. It’s find to do those things<br />

above when you are single, but they are not things a committed person<br />

would or should ever do. A girlfriend, the one you chose and the one you<br />

claim to want to be with, should be the only female in your life (other than<br />

family members) as one day she may be your life companion so make her<br />

feel loved and respected. If you’re not ready to end the female friendships<br />

because you love the attention from these female “friends” then at this<br />

time you need to stay single until you can find yourself and figure out what<br />

it is you really are craving in your life to fulfill your needs.<br />

You should not start any type of serious emotionally charged relationship<br />

with a woman until you are prepared to give her your 100% attention,<br />

mind, body and soul.<br />

Interesting Facts<br />

What Is<br />

Lucid<br />

Dreaming?<br />

How Can I Take Control<br />

of My Dreams?<br />

By Robert Webb<br />

By: Lexie Bling<br />

There are coffee houses in Russia where food<br />

and drink are free, but you pay for time<br />

1 sq inch of human skin contains 625 sweat glands<br />

Emus can’t walk backwards<br />

A lucid dream is any dream in which you are aware that<br />

you are dreaming. Most people wake up at the moment<br />

they are aware it’s only a dream but there’s a way to<br />

become an active participant in your own dreams, and<br />

make decisions and influence the dream’s outcome<br />

without awakening.<br />

An example of a lucid dream would be when you’re flying and<br />

having trouble landing, but then at some point after crashing<br />

or bouncing back up in the sky, you realize it’s a dream and<br />

you can control it, so you sharpen up your skills and become<br />

a pro at it.<br />

Another example is when you wake up but you want to<br />

continue off from where you last started in your dream<br />

because it was so exciting. So you close your eyes and you<br />

try to jump back into the dream where you left off but this<br />

time entering the dream with full awareness it’s just a dream<br />

and changing a few things around to work out the way you<br />

want it to.<br />

In the lucid state, you are more willing to confront threats and<br />

as a result, become more self-confident. You’re more aware<br />

of what you should do and will just do it. Because brain<br />

activity during the dream state is the same as during a real<br />

life event, what you “learn” or “practice” in your lucid dream<br />

state is similar to the training and preparation you do in the<br />

waking world. Your neuro-transmitters are being conditioned.<br />

Many dream interpreters say that most of our dreams<br />

are our subconscious minds working out problems we<br />

experienced in the waking world. In the dream state we are<br />

provided with clues and hints to relate with the topic such<br />

colors and shapes, imagery, feelings and people of different<br />

personalities that represent something we can relate to so<br />

when we wake up we can figure the clues out and fix our<br />

problems . Many times we will dream the same dream over<br />

and over again with a little tweak to it because we just aren’t<br />

getting the message and keep following the wrong path in<br />

our waking world. However, if we could control our dreams<br />

and come to a positive solution and outcome, then we may<br />

be at peace when we wake up and banish that dream lesson<br />

and have conditioned the conscious mind to be aware of the<br />

issue at hand.<br />

Lucid dreaming is beneficial but often hard for some to<br />

attempt because they are unaware of the power they have to<br />

control a dream. We all have the power, we just need to tap<br />

into it and utilize the many benefits.<br />

To hone in on your ability to Lucid Dream there’s a few things<br />

you could do to help you out and allow you to start taking<br />

control of your dream state.<br />

Here’s 4 Ideas to get you started with Lucid Dreaming:<br />

1.) Try meditating and calming the mind from all of the chaotic<br />

thoughts you have from your stressful day. Clear your mind<br />

and feel at peace ad you relax and fade into dream state.<br />

2.) Keep a dream journal that you write in when you awake<br />

and the dream is fresh in your mind. Re-read this dream and<br />

refer to it nightly before you go to sleep. This may refresh<br />

your mind as to where you left off so you can jump back in<br />

once you get to your dream state again.<br />

3.) Before falling asleep repeat to yourself over and over “I<br />

will be aware I’m dreaming, I will be aware I’m dreaming” I<br />

will be in control in my dream, I will be aware of the dream”<br />

4.) Vitamin B5 or Vitamin B6 supplements can increase<br />

dream vividness, weirdness, and emotional intensity, which<br />

can lead to lucid dreaming, but consult with your doctor on<br />

the safety of the dosage you can take.<br />

10 Animals That<br />

Mate For Life<br />

Loyalty Really Does Exist<br />

Beavers<br />

Known for their elaborate dam building skills, beavers are monogamous creatures who stay<br />

together for life, living in family groups, or colonies, made up of parents and their offspring. Adults<br />

stay together in these colonies and care for their young for<br />

the first two years of their lives, teaching them valuable skills,<br />

before they go off to find their own mates.<br />

Wolves<br />

Wolves are very<br />

loyal to members<br />

of their family and<br />

have complex<br />

social structures<br />

within their packs. The alpha male and alpha<br />

female within packs mate for life and share<br />

leadership roles and responsibilities caring<br />

for their young and other pack members.<br />

Bald Eagles<br />

Bald Eagles partner up for life. According to studies on<br />

their behavior, they court and reinforce their bond through<br />

elaborate displays that involve locking their talons in midair<br />

before free falling through the sky.<br />

Prairie Voles<br />

Prairie voles are fascinating with their lifelong pair-bonds<br />

and live otherwise monogamous lifestyles. They co-parent<br />

their young, share the housework and have been known to<br />

experience grief and stay single in the wild if they lose their<br />

partner.<br />

French Angelfish<br />

They’re estimated to spend half of their time swimming right at<br />

their partners side. When they reunite after brief periods apart,<br />

they circle each other in a behavior known as “carouseling”, which<br />

is thought to reinforce their pair bond.<br />

Whooping Cranes<br />

The tallest bird in North America,<br />

whooping cranes can live up to 24 years in the wild and migrate<br />

thousands of miles a year. They’re also known for mating for life,<br />

although they may choose a new mate if their partner dies.<br />

Albatross<br />

They don’t just mate for life, but engage in<br />

an elaborate courtship ritual before settling<br />

down with a partner that consists of a precise<br />

sequence of dance moves when choosing a<br />

partner. They also raise their young together,<br />

before sending them off into the world to find their own mates.<br />

Sea Horses<br />

Sea horses are unique and fascinating little creatures that<br />

live in a broad range of marine environments. Sea horses<br />

are technically considered a fish, but unlike most fish<br />

species, they form monogamous pairs that stay together for<br />

life. Sea horses are also known for the role the males play<br />

in reproduction. Females deposit eggs in the male’s pouch,<br />

where he fertilizes and carries them until giving birth.<br />

Titi Monkeys<br />

Titi monkeys live mostly in the Amazon in small family groups<br />

consisting of parents and their young. These adorable and<br />

monogamous monkeys are believed to be very emotionally close<br />

and spend a lot of time near each other, cuddling, grooming each<br />

other and holding hands. Fathers in these tight-knit families also<br />

play a hugely important role as the main carrier and protectors<br />

of their young.<br />

Lovebirds<br />

The monogamous birds reach sexual maturity when<br />

they’re about ten months old. Mating begins with<br />

courtship behavior, and can continue throughout their<br />

roughly 15-year life spans. Monogamy is essential to<br />

the social stability of flocks and underlies much of their<br />

social behavior.<br />

Guide To Dating<br />

A Capricorn<br />

Capricorns, both male and female, are ambitious<br />

hard workers striving to reach a goal they set forth for<br />

themselves. They enjoy engaging in conversations<br />

about what they plan to do with their lives and where<br />

they see themselves headed in the future. They have<br />

a plan and believe their ideas are innovative and stellar<br />

and want to share them with those they care about so<br />

they can be patted on the back for being so original.<br />

Capricorns tend to feel that they are entitled and get<br />

very agitated when someone is receiving what they<br />

feel they have earned and will say things that hint to<br />

the idea that the only reason another person got where<br />

they are is because they cheated their way to the top<br />

or to a position they felt they deserved over this other<br />

person. They will play the “it’s not fair” card all the<br />

time because they feel they are deserving of all the<br />

highlights in life and career and no one should get it first.<br />

They have a hard time trusting others and opening up. They<br />

have a hard core shell around them that they want you to<br />

break down so they know you cared enough to take the<br />

time to get to know them. Once that outer shell has been<br />

broken you’ll find a compassionate caring and protective<br />

person who will go out of their way to help a friend in need.<br />

Capricorn men especially, cannot stand games<br />

in a relationship. Don’t try to make him jealous or<br />

flirt with others in front of him. Do play the text and<br />

wait game and if you want something then ask,<br />

don’t make them be a mind reader because they<br />

won’t waste their time trying to figure out what you<br />

really mean with your subtle gestures and hints.<br />

Capricorns want to be your friend first. They like to take<br />

things slow and get to know you. They want to really see<br />

if you’re worth their time invested. They are looking for<br />

someone who is a good listener, someone who doesn’t<br />

speak over them. Someone with a sense of humor<br />

and very witty banter will always peak their interest.<br />

Trust is a requirement if you plan to have a relationship<br />

with any Capricorn. They are faithful and not the flirting<br />

type so they despise a person that questions everything<br />

they do. Do not challenge them or accuse them of<br />

cheating unless you want to see their negative side.<br />

By Robert Webb<br />

Drama needs to be banished from any type of relationship<br />

with your Capricorn. They do not have time for it. They<br />

would rather spend their time building on the relationship<br />

rather than stirring the pot. Always tell them what’s on<br />

your mind, don’t beat around the bush. If you don’t like<br />

something they are doing then just tell them and come<br />

to a solution to resolve it. A Capricorn that values your<br />

relationship will always work towards a compromise but<br />

don’t make it so difficult. Get to the point and clear the air.<br />

A Capricorn, both male and female, will require that the<br />

person they are in a relationship with be as ambitious<br />

as they are. They want you to have your own goals and<br />

dreams you’re chasing after. They want to see your inner<br />

passion to succeed emanate from you so they know<br />

you understand deeply where they are coming from. A<br />

Capricorn will support you and lift you up with any goal<br />

you set forth for yourself or for the two of you together.<br />

When it comes to love and romance, they are not really<br />

the mushy lovey-dovey type. They are more traditional<br />

when it comes to romancing you. A Capricorn man will<br />

bring you red roses and take you to dinner and a movie,<br />

something you expect. A Capricorn female may buy you<br />

a card and a nice dress shirt. Not much more creative<br />

than that. They are not ones to go out of their way to<br />

woo you as they don’t have it in them. Capricorns are<br />

using all of their creative juices for their goals and career<br />

that their relationship needs to be a time for them to just<br />

relax and cuddle and have no stress at all. They want<br />

you to be their comfort zone and retreat away from it all.<br />

A Capricorn typically would like to keep what the two of you<br />

share together behind closed doors and not display their<br />

affection in public. They may hold your hand or give you a<br />

gentle hug in front of others, but the make out session or<br />

even just a passionate kiss in the public eye is not in their<br />

comfort zone. They also expect you to keep secrets and<br />

not broadcast to your friends the intimate details about<br />

your relationship together. They are shy when it comes to<br />

the intimate passionate personal part of their relationship<br />

and wants everything to stay between you and them.<br />

Capricorn females will appreciate it if you were to spoil<br />

them with the finer things in life. Not all the time, they<br />

don’t want them to become the norm, but a surprise to<br />

an elegant restaurant or a classy opera would win you<br />

points. A Capricorn male on the other hand will prefer a<br />

quiet night in or just a small group of friends around and<br />

very low key with minimal attention brought towards them.<br />

Capricorn males and females just want to be loved by a<br />

genuine person whom they can trust and feel secure with.<br />

PISCES<br />

By Robert Webb<br />

Guide To Dating<br />

An Aquarius<br />

Aquarian men and woman are very eccentric and<br />

unique individuals. They beat to their own drum and<br />

definitely do things outside of the box. Their way of<br />

thinking is unlike any other zodiac sign out there.<br />

To impress an Aquarian you need to engage them in<br />

conversation by asking questions about themselves,<br />

their views and their plans. Genuinely listen to what<br />

they are saying and let them know what you think<br />

about the angle they are taking and why you feel it will<br />

or not work. They will always debate you and get you<br />

to eventually agree with them, but they enjoy this part<br />

of the communication, they enjoy getting others to see<br />

things their way rather than the way the “norm” sees it.<br />

Aquarians are very analytical and will pick a situation<br />

apart and dissect it until they get to the core of the<br />

matter. They need to know how something or someone<br />

ticks so they can devise a plan to put the pieces together<br />

to make it work in their favor. They are master problem<br />

solvers and they will not stop until a resolution or new<br />

solution to a problem as been found and implemented.<br />

An Aquarius female or male will value you if you’re<br />

intellectual. They want to be around someone they can<br />

learn from and absorb ideas from. They are a sponge<br />

soaking up all the insight they can wrap their brains<br />

around. If you have nothing to bring to the table as<br />

far as unique ideas or viewpoints then they will lose<br />

interest fast. The more that you show an Aquarian your<br />

true self and abnormal behaviors, the more they adore<br />

you. They already feel like they are an oddity living on<br />

a planet amongst a bunch of robots with no originality<br />

so it’d be a relief for them to know they found someone<br />

that accepts them and is a little bit like them too.<br />

Aquarians are a hard one to get to settle down because a<br />

serious relationship or marriage is a confinement to them.<br />

A contract to agree to stay with someone is suppressing<br />

and the idea of knowing they are going to be with only<br />

one person for the rest of their lives scares them. They<br />

need to know you’re adaptable and willing to change and<br />

willing to grow within the relationship for them to ever<br />

commit to you. If they feel it’s one way and one way only<br />

with no room for negotiations then they will feel trapped<br />

and retreat into themselves, distancing themselves from<br />

the relationship before they eventually just run away.<br />

They want to surprised, they don’t want the predictable<br />

Born: <strong>January</strong> 20th - February 19th<br />

or they will be grumpy and moody. Find something<br />

creative and exciting for the two of you to do together,<br />

something that the “average” couple doesn’t do.<br />

Something that is mentally stimulating yet something<br />

that makes sense for the time invested into it.<br />

Aquarians are not known for being very emotional. They<br />

are all about logic and reasoning. If it doesn’t make<br />

sense then they do not want to be bothered. They won’t<br />

fall for guilt trips as they are too smart to be brought<br />

into that trap and the moody emotional rollercoasters<br />

are foreign to them as they don’t know how to handle<br />

someone who’s being irrational. To get any problem<br />

solved you need to be straight forward with an Aquarian<br />

and tell them exactly and precisely what is on your mind<br />

and where you see a solution to fix the problem. If there’s<br />

no sense to what you’re saying and no possible solution<br />

then they do not want to be bothered with the nonsense.<br />

An Aquarian values his/her independence and will<br />

not tolerate clingy and needy people. Go do your own<br />

thing, don’t wait on them to decide what you want<br />

to do. They want you to have your own mind and be<br />

confident with yourself. They are loyal individuals when<br />

they feel valued. If you start to make them second guess<br />

themselves or put them down then their first instinct is<br />

to wonder off to find someone who will get them. But<br />

if you value them and reassure them that you “get<br />

them” then you will find the most loyal partner who<br />

will always have your back and never let you down.<br />

Aquarians do not like close minded people. They<br />

cringe at those who are so predictable and ordinary. If<br />

you judge others in front of them then you better have<br />

a lot of ammunition to back up your words as to why<br />

you’re judging them. If it makes sense they may see<br />

your side of things, but if it’s just out of malice then<br />

they will openly let you know their disgust of your<br />

behaviors. When you’re an open book and easy to<br />

ready they will get bored fast because this leaves<br />

nothing to their imagination and the suspense is gone.<br />

They want someone who just goes with the flow and<br />

is adaptable. They don’t understand people who<br />

make plans in advance, how can they possibly know<br />

they will be free then? An Aquarian is all about last<br />

minute planning and leaving their options open in case<br />

something better comes along. Aquarians cannot stand<br />

jealous people, if you can’t handle the fact that they are<br />

social butterflies who crave communication with others<br />

then it will arouse many issues in your relationship.<br />

Aquarians want a partner who is an oddball, one<br />

who is intriguing, mystical and full of insight on life.<br />

Guide To Dating<br />

A PISCES<br />

The Pisces female is sensitive when she’s in love<br />

and believes in the fairy tale romance. Don’t let her<br />

down. Court her from the moment you meet her,<br />

grow as friends and court her through the entire<br />

relationship to keep her interest and hold onto her trust.<br />

Pisces are very intuitive and will trust their gut instinct<br />

when it comes to people they meet. Don’t give her a<br />

reason to doubt you, she will sense something is up<br />

almost immediately and withdraw from you or storm off<br />

in a temper tantrum to show her dissatisfaction with the<br />

feelings she is having from an unsettling circumstance.<br />

Be it as small as you not paying enough attention to<br />

her because your mind is elsewhere because she will<br />

internalize this as if you do not care about her. She is not<br />

insecure or doubting herself but she is so in tune with<br />

energy around her that she feels you withdrawing and that<br />

feeling makes her mind wander to the worst. She trusts<br />

her gut so much that sometimes it overcomes her and<br />

she forgets to think rationally and detach her emotions<br />

from the reality of a situation. Just reassure her and be an<br />

open book to why you are giving off a certain vibe. She will<br />

hear you and sense your honesty and just let it go, she’s<br />

pretty versatile when you release her of her unnecessary<br />

doubts and doesn’t dwell on it further, she just needs the<br />

clarity of a situation and a little reassurance and a reality<br />

check that her intuition was right but a little over the top.<br />

Manners and respect towards others is very important<br />

to her. Do not demean others just for the fun of it and<br />

always say please and thank you. Never take advantage<br />

of her or ask her for much and you’ll see she will give<br />

you the world. If she feels like you’re taking advantage<br />

of her she will become very distant and agitated.<br />

Many will tell her that she’s a people pleaser and way<br />

too emotional but that’s not really the case. She is just<br />

so full of love and genuinely does care about people<br />

closes to her. She wants to help others when she<br />

can and lift their spirits up. But she’s not dumb, she<br />

knows when she’s being used so don’t even try to take<br />

advantage of her or make everything always about<br />

you. She is not shy about calling you out for it and<br />

will do her best to make you feel awful about yourself<br />

for how you made her feel used and unimportant<br />

Be a gentleman. Open doors, offer her your jacket when<br />

it’s cold outside, hold her hand in public and hold her<br />

Born: February 20th - <strong>March</strong> 20th<br />

close when you know she just needs some attention.<br />

Be a strong and confident man. She wants someone she<br />

can look up to and feel comfortable and secure with. Be<br />

her protector, but not possessor as she must feel free to do<br />

whatever her flighty self wants to do when she wants to do it.<br />

When you’re trying to be romantic, remember she also<br />

enjoys the thought behind it and the surprise. She wants<br />

to know you put thought into it and didn’t just treat her<br />

like a generic. She also doesn’t want to tell you what she<br />

wants, she expects you to be creative and come up with<br />

your own idea to make it romantic and mysterious. So,<br />

simply getting her flowers and taking her out to dinner<br />

won’t work. Bring her a bouquet of her favorite flowers<br />

or flowers with significant meanings behind them and<br />

take her to a restaurant she always wanted to go to<br />

but hasn’t been to yet, make memories. Write her love<br />

notes, take a lot of pictures together and frame some<br />

of them and place around your house to share with<br />

guests. Cook her favorite meal, buy her favorite drink,<br />

call her in the middle of the day to tell her you’re thinking<br />

of her, give her a massage, write cute little notes and<br />

stick them in her purse to find later, cuddle a lot, just<br />

show her how much you care by the little things you do.<br />

Pisces is a dreamer and visualizes the life she wants<br />

and 100% feels she deserves to and will make all of her<br />

dreams come true. Never put her creative ideas down or<br />

tell her she’s being unrealistic as she will just shut down<br />

from you all together. She wants someone who dreams<br />

with her and sees a future of magic, prosperity and<br />

extravagance. And one that’s surrounded with true love.<br />

She wants to be madly in love and be with<br />

someone who’s totally madly in love with her<br />

The Pisces male has all of the same traits a Pisces<br />

female has but the biggest challenge they face is the<br />

stereotypical sexist mindset society has placed on<br />

how a man should act and how a female should act.<br />

A Pisces male is sensitive and emotional but doesn’t<br />

feel its “manly” to show these traits all the time and<br />

a lot of them will retreat to alcohol and drugs to<br />

suppress these feelings from showing. They escape<br />

to another reality, one they will not feel judged in.<br />

The Pisces male needs your re-assurance and<br />

your understanding of who he is. He doesn’t want<br />

to be picked on or ridiculed for being sensitive or<br />

spiritual and artsy. He needs someone in his life<br />

that admires these traits and lets him just be himself.<br />

Tarot Card Reading for<br />

Your <strong>Zodi</strong>ac Sign<br />

Find out what is in store for you<br />

over the next 3 months of Jan-Feb-<strong>March</strong> <strong>2016</strong><br />

The Basics of this Tarot Card Reading to assist you with what it all means:<br />

By Deeanna Chapman<br />

Most classic Tarot decks are comprised of 78 cards, These 78 cards are divided into a Major Arcana (22 cards) and<br />

a Minor Arcana (56 cards). The Major Arcana cards, also called trump cards, are important because they represent<br />

significant life events on a large scale, Minor Arcana imply short-term and fleeting aspects of our life experiences.<br />

In these Tarot readings, I pulled 1 Major Arcana card for each zodiac sign as a<br />

goal/lesson for the season (Jan-<strong>March</strong> <strong>2016</strong>) then I pulled 3 other (Major & Minor Arcana) cards<br />

to offer guidance as how to solve the problem at hand based on prevailing energies.<br />

Aries<br />

The overall energy: The Moon ~ The overall energy of this season has to deal with<br />

misunderstandings, deceit and lack of communication.<br />

How this energy will manifest:<br />

The Emperor, reversed: It is vital for you to release some of the power and control<br />

you have over others to meet on a common ground.<br />

Strength: This is a time for you to focus on empathy, harmony and cooperation with<br />

others.<br />

9 of Pentacles, reversed: This card suggests that you may be suffering from financial<br />

setbacks or you have experienced a loss due to unwise decisions or foolish actions.<br />

A sign that you need to learn from your mistakes and build a more solid and secure<br />

foundation next time. It also is an indication that if you are looking for love or want<br />

to be happy and fulfilled in your love relationship, you need to realize that you can’t<br />

expect this to “just happen”, action and intention on your part is required. You must<br />

be willing to talk, and really listen, to your loved one or to prospective partners.<br />

Remember communication is key to get all that you want out of a relationship.<br />

Taurus<br />

The overall energy: The Hierophant ~ The overall energy of this season focuses on<br />

seeking deeper meanings in things, desire for wisdom and being part of a team.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

The World: This indicates working in harmony with others, a time for you to have<br />

your dreams come true and have the world at your feet. Being content, having peace<br />

of mind and being thankful for your blessings in life.<br />

King of Wands, reversed: This card can signify a man who has been through a lot in<br />

life, and as a result, he is warm, kind, and understanding towards others. While it may<br />

not necessarily mean a man as in a person but masculine energy of a letting things go<br />

and giving a lot of leniency to others because you understand where they are coming<br />

from and the trials they have been through. It indicates support and understanding.<br />

Queen of Wands: A natural born leader and business person. One who is straight<br />

forward, domineering and bossy. At times can be tactless and will need to remind<br />

oneself there’s better ways to phrase things to get what you want and to work as an<br />

equal with others. A reminder to come off your high horse.<br />

Gemini<br />

The overall energy: The Star ~ The overall energy of this season focuses on balance,<br />

pleasure and fulfilling dreams.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

The Magician: Set the Intention that everything you are creating and manifesting comes<br />

from a place of Highest Love and is for the Highest Good of all concerned.<br />

Ace of Wands, reversed: This card suggests that you are finding it difficult to clearly<br />

define what it is that you want. This lack of direction may be sapping your energy levels<br />

and leaving you feeling incredibly unmotivated and uninspired. As a result, you are<br />

often asking yourself if this is what you really want in life. It also indicates that you<br />

feel weighed down by existing responsibilities and commitments and feel as though you<br />

cannot pursue the new ideas that you have.<br />

Knight of Wands: This card indicates that you need to take action in a bold and fearless<br />

way. You need to re-group your thoughts and remind yourself that the ultimate goal is to<br />

fulfill your dreams. The more you focus on your wants and desires you may discover a<br />

talent that you didn’t even know you had that could result in more money.<br />

Cancer<br />

The overall energy: Judgement ~ The overall energy of this season is to remind yourself<br />

to let go of other’s judgments of you, a time for you to come alive. Also a time to stop<br />

judging new relationships based on past failed relationships.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

The Chariot: Symbolizes travel, both physically and mentally. Take control of where<br />

you want to go, be firm and assertive without being aggressive.<br />

2 of Wands: This card is about earned success. It indicates help and support from affluent<br />

individuals, one’s in which “you” cultivated the seeds to grow. Beware though; you<br />

currently have the power and influence and someone else wants it, be very cautious of<br />

who you assist as they have ulterior motives. This card also indicates choosing career<br />

over love. There’s a spiritual connection you have with another person who is currently<br />

part of your life, this person is keeping you grounded with your career by reminding you<br />

to watch out for deceitful people. Even though you value their support, you don’t know<br />

how to juggle a career and relationship so you have put them aside emotionally.<br />

5 of Pentacles: This card indicates money that is tied up and someone is not going to<br />

receive as much money as they were expecting in a situation. Do not feel hopeless, if you<br />

need help, just go out and ask for it. The help you need will come.<br />

Leo<br />

The overall energy: Temperance ~ The overall energy of this season deals with keeping<br />

an open mind and your options plentiful. Going with the flow, keeping balance and<br />

staying calm.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

4 of Swords, reversed: This card suggests that some time off from work would be<br />

beneficial. The weight of your responsibilities are heavy and stressful. Allow yourself to<br />

rest, and re-center yourself through meditation and relaxation.<br />

King of Pentacles, reversed: This card describes a very weak person who pursues, but<br />

cannot find satisfaction or pleasure in material things. It’s important to know that your<br />

happiness and success is not built on how much money you make and it’s important to<br />

remind yourself that money is just a tool needed at certain times in life to get where you<br />

are suppose to be and be accepting of times of financial hardship because it is these times<br />

that lessons are learned.<br />

King of Cups: Indicates a male who offers you good advice and he has many positive<br />

qualities. He is wise, helpful and caring. He likes peace and harmony around him.<br />

Virgo<br />

The overall energy: The Emperor ~ The overall energy of this season demands that you<br />

look within yourself and find your dominance and reclaim power.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

King of Swords, reversed: This card may be warning of someone who may have a<br />

negative influence in your life at this time. A forceful, opinionated male with dark hair.<br />

He is stubborn and not open to change.<br />

3 of Swords: There is sorrow, sadness, strife, conflict, disappointment and great emotional<br />

pain. Indication of a miscarriage, heartache from a lost love, or a serious argument.<br />

3 of Cups, reversed: This card indicates that you may be involved in an affair or dealing<br />

with an unfaithful partner. Another indication of this card is over-indulgence in the party<br />

scene with drugs and/or alcohol.<br />

Libra<br />

The overall energy: Strenth ~ The overall energy of this season is about your inner<br />

strength. This is a time for you to focus on empathy, harmony and cooperation with<br />

others.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

Justice, reversed: This energy indicates being objective and balanced in your<br />

approach of dealing with others. You need to stop assuming you know everyone’s<br />

situation and really listen to get to the core of their emotions.<br />

The High Priestess: This card indicates not everything on the surface is as it seems so<br />

you need to ask probing questions to get the core underlying motive of others.<br />

Queen of Pentacles: This energy points towards stability in your life. This is in both<br />

emotional and financial matters.<br />

Scorpio<br />

The overall energy: Death ~ The overall energy of this season is change, a time to let<br />

go of the old, endings with new beginnings.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

Ace of Wands, reversed: This card shows a need to pay close attention to what you<br />

are doing with your money. Do not take chances or just hand over your financial<br />

responsibility to someone else to control.<br />

3 of Swords: There is sorrow, sadness, strife, conflict, disappointment and great<br />

emotional pain. Indication of a miscarriage, heartache from a lost love, or a serious<br />

argument that is painful to hear but some words are necessary to clear the air.<br />

8 of Swords: The energy of this card identifies self-imposed restrictions and a<br />

reminder that a situation may not be as difficult as it is perceived to be.<br />

Sagittarius<br />

The overall energy: The Sun ~ The overall energy of this season deals with health,<br />

happiness, balance and joy.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

Page of Cups, reversed: This card indicates a reminder to allow yourself to play and<br />

dream, but also remain grounded in reality.<br />

2 of Swords: The card indicates you do not know what to do and do not seem to<br />

be able to see all the necessary information before you to think clearly. You may be<br />

struggling with a difficult decision even though you know something needs to be done<br />

to correct the situation.<br />

2 of Pentacles, reversed: This card indicates you are trying to juggle too many things<br />

in your life right now and you need to take a break.<br />

Aquarius<br />

The overall energy: The High Priestess ~ The overall energy of this season is<br />

all about tapping into your inner guidance system/intuition to make decisions. Not<br />

everything on the surface is as it seems so you need to ask probing questions to get the<br />

core underlying motive of others. Meditate and relax your mind to find the guidance<br />

you seek.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

Death, reversed: The message of this card indicates it’s time to release what no longer<br />

serves you. A time to let go of your fear and to keep moving forward.<br />

4 of Swords: This card indicates a time of quiet contemplation and preparation for<br />

the goals you wish to obtain. It is a time to heal your mind, body and spirit. Do not<br />

overwork yourself and become stressed out.<br />

4 of Cups, reversed: The message here is to allow yourself to feel. Awaken yourself<br />

to the world around you and put in the effort required to obtain the results you desire.<br />

Pisces<br />

The overall energy: The Magician ~ The overall energy of this season will be for<br />

you to tap into your inner abilities to manifest whatever you want. Connect with the<br />

universe through your thoughts, energy and feelings. Trust your intuition.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

4 of Pentacles: This card indicates trying very hard to hold onto money, a time to not<br />

spend frivolously. The fear and anxiety you are holding about money and status quo<br />

and material items needs to be released in order to clear the blockage of money flow<br />

you are manifesting out to the universe.<br />

Queen of Swords, reversed: This energy is a female energy, possibly yourself,<br />

causing problems and stumbling blocks to your success by the abrasive manner in<br />

which things are communicated. Step back from the situation and take it as a learning<br />

lesson that you need to compromise with others to avoid unnecessary complications.<br />

King of Pentacles, reversed: Watch out for others who seem charming and very<br />

persuasive but have ulterior motives about spending your money and what you<br />

worked so hard to obtain.<br />

Capricorn<br />

The overall energy: The Hermit ~ The overall energy of this season calls for you to<br />

look within and isolate yourself from others so you have the quiet time to reflect on<br />

what you want and decide what you really need to do get there.<br />

How this will manifest:<br />

3 of Cups: A time to reflect on true friendships and realize who you need and do not<br />

need in your life.<br />

Queen of Pentacles, reversed: This card reminds you to stay in touch with the simple<br />

things in life. It is time to recognize your need for stable and nurturing relationships.<br />

The Fool: This card indicates a need to let go of your past experiences and memories<br />

so they do not control you on your journey. Take from it the lessons you have learned<br />

but then move on with no emotional attachment to those experiences and memories.<br />
