So I'm going to become a multi-millionaire?

From www.astrology.com Daily Leo Your wildest dreams come true, especially when you stick close to the original source. That means keeping it simple, silly. Cut all the unnecessary trim and you'll find the absolute essence of success. Ya know, I've sort of been feeling this since I got the compliance aspects of my job dropped on my desk. However, I think I'd be more comfortable in what I do...if someone would actually tell/show be what they want me to be doing, instead of letting me blunder about blindly. Leo Extended Have the confidence to do what you want today -- don't be afraid to boldly go where you've never gone before. Sure, you might not know how everything works at first, but that doesn't have to put you at a disadvantage. After the first five minutes, your nerves will stop jangling, and you'll even start to feel a sense of accomplishment. Take a deep breath, and then step out of your comfort zone -- and relish that 'Wow! I can really do this!' sensation. My best qualities at the forefront...my boobs? Leo Single's Love Be wonderful! All your finest, shiniest, hottest qualities are in the forefront now (and even your flaws are pretty darn cute at the moment). Love life and it'll be as fun, funny and fabulous as you are.

Do I try too hard?

www.tarot.com Daily Leo Your separate thoughts have a life of their own and may be tripping over each other as they try to be seen and appreciated. You are clever and your associates and friends know it, but you don't have to try so hard to impress them. Slow down and do what must be done. You'll still get noticed and you'll still be loved. www.astrology.com Someone's looking for a fight? Leo Couple's Love All you want is to keep the peace, but your sweetie might be raring for a fight. They won't get one, thanks to your calm reserve, and eventually they should break down and tell you what's really the matter.

why me?

From www.tarot.com I don't need communication struggles. Daily Overview The sensitive Cancer Moon stirs our worries about emotional insecurities. We want to withdraw, but Mars just entered Aquarius, so our unorthodox interactions become more important than retreating. Mental Mercury, now well into its retrograde cycle, backs up into quirky Aquarius, creating an intellectual backlash to our emotions. Mercury and Mars form an irritating semisextile, indicating possible communication struggles with our friends or coworkers. Followed up with... Daily Leo You may not feel very outgoing today as you are lost in an internal swirl of emotional fantasy. Keeping your dreams in check and working through your hidden fears can take up a lot of personal bandwidth. Even though you might create a misunderstanding, you will be happier once you move the energy from within your imagination out into the open. www.astrology.com has this to say Leo Overview The urge to make something happen just to end a stalemate is irresistible, but the so-called solution could end up being more trouble than the original situation. Practice patience until it becomes second nature. Fan club? Oh please! Leo Extended Modesty may prevent you from bragging to the world about your latest success, but it won't prevent friends and loved ones from singing your praises! Everyone is so proud of you, and while you might not be privy to everything they have been saying about you, it is definitely all good stuff! Try to organize a casual get-together (a pizza dinner at your place, maybe?) where you can check in with your fan club and send some love back their way. And on love... Leo Single's Love All your senses are working overtime now, including a certain sixth sense about romantic matters. You might feel a bit vulnerable, but you've also got an intense emotional intelligence. Isn't this just peachy? Leo Couple's Love If your sweetie is mad or unreachable, keep trying. You need to be sure that you can at least say that you tried, though things should actually get a lot better in just a few days.

Me? Dance around a discussion?

From www.tarot.com Daily Overview Mercury the Messenger, now flying backward through the sky in its retrograde phase, joins the Sun in compassionate Pisces today. This aspect aligns our words with our intentions, giving us the gift of insightful communication. However, Pisces can be indirect, so we may take a discussion on a wild goose chase before making our point. Fortunately, the solid Taurus Moon helps us to maintain a particular direction until we reach our goal. Changes in my career...again? Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22) This could be an uncomfortable day, for responsibilities at work don't give you enough room to be in touch with a gentler side of your personality. It may be that the pressures of reality are pushing up against your dreams and you don't like how it feels. Remain as flexible as possible; big changes are coming soon, even if you feel stuck now. From www.astrology.com Receptive to the unusual? I am the unusual... Daily Leo Overview Unlikely suggestions prove to have the most potential for really changing the situation. You're most receptive to the unusual later in the day -- and the more tangential the conversation, the more likely it'll be useful. I'm good w/ teams, but I generally prefer to go it alone. Leo Extended Sometimes being part of a team is empowering -- when many people combine their efforts, they are much more powerful than one person can be on his or her own. But being one of many can also make you feel insignificant, as if you're just a cog in a machine. Today is definitely a day for individual endeavors -- you will not do well in team environments. Let your conscience and your creativity guide you. Sometimes it's fun to listen to gossip, but I generally don't perpetuate it...and when it's about me, I try to track it to it's source (and usually fail...no one ever wants to tell me the truth). Leo Single's Love You've got bigger and better things to think (and feel) about than others' petty gossip or silly drama. Conduct yourself with honor and grace and keep on keepin' on. Your energy's hot now; don't waste it. I'm not sure if there's anything routine about any of my relationships. Leo Couple's Love You and your sweetie have routines that generally make life easier, but today you might feel stuck by one or more of them. Try to chart your own path for now, but make it clear that you're still on the same side. And hey...let's see what's in Aries skies... Hmm, this shows promise. Aries Extended You are making some positive impressions on some very powerful people right now, and today your perseverance will pay off handsomely. Get ready to be invited into the inner circle, through either a social or a work-related invitation. The nature of your time with these people isn't as important as the length of time you will have with them. Do not be nervous -- these people want to get to know you better, and in order to portray yourself accurately, you need to feel relaxed and optimistic. Stalking again? Aries Single's Love Go ahead and charm their socks off -- little do they know that your seemingly lighthearted line of inquiry is letting you find out who they are and what they value. Favorite books, most embarrassing moments -- it's all telling. Aries Couple's Love It's a good time to talk about big issues with your partner -- you'll by surprised by some of the basic values you share. There may be some disagreements, but that's part of what makes relationships interesting.

Feisty Aries

From www.tarot.com Daily Overview It's a Venus kind of day as the planet of love powers her way into feisty Aries where she is more direct about getting what she wants. During the next month, we crave immediate gratification, yet it may be wiser to wait for the best possible moment. A conflict arises as the Moon slips into sensual Taurus at 3:03 pm EST, grounding our desires and giving us much-needed common sense. Since Venus is Taurus' key planet, our senses ultimately rule the day. Speaking of Aries... Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19) Venus camps out in Aries until March 17, activating your romance antennae. You are on a mission now, seeking the elusive adrenaline rush of love. If you are in a relationship, think about reenergizing it as if you were courting again. If you're single, perhaps you will meet someone new. Either way, do whatever you can to add excitement to your life.

Horoscopes for PantheaCon Weekend.

Once again I'll be at PantheaCon (http://www.ancientways.com/pantheacon). It's held at the Double Tree in San Jose. However, since I took my time registering for a hotel room, the Double Tree was full by the time I called (1/6/07), so I'm staying down the road at the Holiday Inn (formerly Hyatt or Hilton, can't remember). The rooms there are a bit cheaper, and I'm guaranteed at least a mile of walking every day this weekend. So...on to the horoscopes... From www.tarot.com, which can only see 2 days into the future... Today's Leo An exciting connection with an unusual person could complicate your life today. Problems arise if you attempt to control anyone else, for it will likely be frustrating if you try to push your own agenda. If, however, you can simply appreciate others for their uniqueness, then you could be blessed with a fresh approach to your life and relationships. Saturday's Daily General Overview Today's high-strung Aquarius New Moon at 11:13 am EST intensifies our concern for the future of humanity, before it enters intuitive Pisces at 1:29 pm EST. Aquarius thinks globally, yet Pisces melts the cool intellectualism into a softer and more emotional outlook. Mercury, still retrograde, reminds us to reconsider our assumptions, for we may arrive at new answers to old problems as we let scientific thoughts morph into spiritual practice and fantasy. Saturday's Leo You are like a magnet for unusual people now, and they will likely play an important role in your immediate future. Your assertive style, however, can make the situation more complex, so it may be a good idea to let others take the lead in social interactions. Remember, at this time being cooperative could be more effective than being bold. Sunday's Daily General Overview Intuition and compassion rule the skies today as the Moon swims through Pisces, conjoining both mental Mercury and erratic Uranus. A new astrological month begins as the Sun enters the watery domains of Pisces, making a total of five planets in the sign of The Fish. Meanwhile, loving Venus forms a magical biquintile aspect with stabilizing Saturn, gracing us with the potential for enduring love, assuming we are ready to put in the required effort. Sunday's Leo Life may seem like it is back on track now, but be careful about glossing over a painful emotional issue. If you feel as if you have been unfairly judged or rejected, it may not be such a good idea to pretend that everything is fine. This isn't the time to be cavalier. Listen to your heart and take whatever comes to you as constructive guidance so you can find the happiness you seek. From www.astrology.com, who only sees 1 day ahead Today's Leo Overview A new idea has definite possibilities -- but move slowly. Remember, some situations need to simmer or else they can boil over. Work with it as it appears and let it develop in its own fashion and on its own schedule. Today's Leo Extended Every relationship you have is a partnership of one kind or another -- and in every partnership, there's a balance of power to be considered. Today you will be especially aware of these power issues, although there will not necessarily be any type of battle. Just understanding the give and take of every exchange you have with someone will help prepare you for potential clashes. The more prepared you are, the shorter these future conflicts will be. Today's Leo Couples Love If things aren't working out, it's up to you to find a different approach. You can draw on that famous creative energy of yours to come up with a new way to get your sweetie smiling. Saturday's Leo Overview Good manners are often discounted, but they can work miracles. After all, etiquette is really about being considerate by putting other people at ease. Such an attitude can turn a whole situation around. Saturday's Leo Extended Money may make the world go 'round, but it doesn't have any place in your day today. Try to avoid any financial dealings -- especially those that involve friends. There is a lot of uncertainty around transactions and investments right now, and you would be much better off if you delay such things until another day. You are entitled to be a lot more frugal than you may think you are. Money is a personal issue -- your wallet is your business and no one else's. Ok, so what this means is that I should skip the Dealer's Room Saturday? Saturday's Leo Single's Love You've got a flair for the dramatic at the moment, so dress the part and find an appreciative audience. The stories you tell, the theater you enact and your sheer star power are very impressive. Saturday's Leo Couple's Love Don't worry if the two of you are speaking past each other today -- it's just the way things are right now. You'll be able to reconnect soon, and you shouldn't miss out on anything too serious. And, because The Wench will be joining me Saturday, here's a thing or 2 for her from www.astrology.com. Saturday's Aries Overview A thorn in your side is there for a reason. Cultivate objectivity and look for the cosmic lesson behind this annoyance. Once you realize what the point of all this brouhaha is, your irritation will disappear. Saturday's Aries Couple's Love You want to lend a hand, but your sweetheart might not know exactly what they need from you. Your guesses should be pretty solid, so don't worry about the last decimal place.

Would you slow down?

Blah

Rather depressing to get these horoscopes on V-Day. From www.tarot.com General Daily Overview We may not be very lighthearted on this Valentine's Day, with the Moon in cautious Capricorn. Our discomfort is emphasized by irritating quincunxes from restrictive Saturn to both impulsive Mars and loving Venus. It feels as if our dreams are just one step beyond our reach. It may be thoroughly annoying that we must meet our obligations before we can experience pleasure. Nevertheless, enjoyment must be postponed until our work is done. Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22) You may feel a deep tugging on your heartstrings as an emotional issue creates stress between you and your partner. Don't try to ignore the reality of the situation, even if it brings you down. It's much better to face the truth in the present moment than to be happy in your misguided illusion. There may be a middle ground, but it's not likely that you will find it today. From www.astrology.com Leo Daily Overview You can't stop thinking about this situation -- why won't it just go away? Slow down there, slugger. Observe the nature of the problem before you try to escape its grasp. Struggling increases the strength of its hold.

Express Yourself

So...I think the common thread is communication Daily overview from www.tarot.com The magnetic Scorpio Moon increases the intensity of our passions and compels us to express them. Sometimes this depth is challenging, for exploring the shadows of our inner worlds can dredge up old pain. Today, however, the Moon forms harmonious aspects with Mercury, Uranus, Venus and Mars, creating an easy flow between us and everyone else. Additionally, lovely Venus squares excessive Jupiter, encouraging us to take each experience to the max. Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22) Somewhat apropro You may feel a bit conflicted today as your emotions pull you away from the fun. Don't worry if you miss a social gathering now, for you have important work to do as you process your emotions. Even if you go on a date or to a party, remember that there is no need to hide your feelings behind a performance. Daily Leo from www.astrology.com This seems much harsher of a solution than I would put into use. Give that difficult person just one more chance. If you open your heart and shut down your ego, you might be (pleasantly) surprised at what transpires. And, okay, if they mess up this chance, you can wash your hands of them. Leo Daily Extended Why can't this be tomorrows? If you are going shopping today, try to stop off at a secondhand shop or an antique store. There is an undiscovered gem waiting to be found, and you will spot it immediately. You have an exceptional ability to understand the true value of something that no one else appreciates. Turn away from the flashy and the new. Instead, look for something weathered and old -- go find something that has a story to tell, and integrate it into your life. Leo Single's Love Dive into deeper-level conversation with those you meet as well as those you already know now. Ask them their opinion on important issues. They'll find you fascinating and you'll forge new, stronger bonds. And...Leo Couple's Love You've got to keep asking -- eventually you will get the real answer. Your sweetheart might think they're protecting you from some truth, but it's the concealing that's doing the harm.

It's Saturday

Besides getting my life back in order from vacation (unpacking) & going to a Women's Party, I'm not sure what the 'exacting work' is that I'm supposed to be doing today. :) From www.tarot.com - Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22) You need to pay attention to the smallest details today as you do very exacting work. Normally your ability to focus is not a problem, but your eagerness to do something new may now be greater than your commitment to perfection. Don't judge yourself too harshly if you don't meet the high standards you set. Just do the best you can and then move on. and the girlfiend is going to be fighting her restraints huh? Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19) You may be of two minds today. On one hand you are committed to quietly going about your chores and doing everything exactly as you should. But your key planet Mars is receiving rebellious signals from Uranus, urging you to fight back against any signs of boredom or restraint. Moderating your impulses may not sound like fun, yet you will be happier in the long run if you do.

Even on vacation

my horoscopes are interesting. From www.tarot.com, Love Horoscope for the Week of: Monday, January 29, 2007 Valia, The Moon in your sign tends to magnify your emotions this weekend. Passions can go over the top, but it's better to be true to your feelings than to stuff them. The faint of heart may run away, but don't waste your time on someone who lacks the courage to love you.
