Horoscopes for May 1 to May 15, 2016

Posted on May 1, 2016 by tamumiles

All Signs

Even if you are the type of person that is reluctant to see yourself as a psychic being, you are none-the-less being impacted by others’ emotions and by the world around you. You are far more accurate than you’ve ever been in assessing a person or situation. You can see into the future; the outcome of your actions or someone else’s. Your gut knows, and it has no problem telling you what it thinks.

You might not have totally noticed that this is going on. You might have just feel out of whack, off kilter, and a little insane lately.

“Like, doesn’t anyone else see that the world is so fucked up right now? Am I the only one?” you’ve been asking yourself.

But now that you are aware, you can adjust your response. You don’t have to feel so insane because you can see the interconnectedness of things, that your irrational emotions may come from empathizing with someone feeling anger or going through a rough time.

I’m not asking you to believe in anything here. Be totally science based about it if you need to. Take away the psychic element and just think about what physics has learned about the true nature of a cell and how energy is exchanged. We are all connected, no matter how you look at it.

And if you bring in what humanity has learned about time, or at least what Einstein said about time, you can stretch your imagination a bit and envision that we are talking to and receiving information from (no matter how on a subconscious level it is) our past lives and from our ancestral DNA.

Or, another way of looking at it is through the eyes of the First Nations of Turtle Island who believe that whales remember the stories of the migration to Turtle Island and that it is through sound that these majestic creatures relay that information back to the people. Through the dreamtime and through the magical everyday occurrences that make us stop and wonder at the synchronicity (or pure good luck) of the universe we are learning to hear those stories and trust in ourselves. So though you might feel a little insane right now, a little too open and receptive to everyone and everything, and like life is changing every so quickly and that it’s not giving you enough time to even breath, trust that you are going to receive what you’ve worked so hard to attain. That through slow, gentle penetration, you are making a mark for yourself, you are proving yourself valuable, you are learning and moving through (transforming) old, and perhaps damaging, patterns and beliefs.

I would just caution you to keep your ego under control. Don’t rest on your laurels. Don’t sit back and think it’s all going to be taken care of because you’re so “in line” with your soul and your destiny. You still have work to do. You still have to pay attention and listen to your inner knowing and the many voices that reside there. Learn from the experience of being perceptive and receptive of others, both the positives and the negatives. Take responsibility for your own growth and movement and remember that you, too, affect the world around you.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You’re Source Self is sending you on a vision quest, dear Aries. I suggest you stand up and face it with all the courage you can muster. Focus inwardly and don’t waste your energy thinking you have any influence on the outside world or what it is throwing at you at this time. You have several controlling factors in your life, all of which are the result of past trauma and your responses to which have become patterned into your everyday life and are even linked to your sense of identity. It’s time to consciously remove those patterns that control your life, those that keep you from learning, growing, and succeeding the way you wish you could. It would not be unreasonable to find a magical place out in the bush and perform a Sacred Spiral dance. Paint spirals on your skin and dance in your intention to finally set yourself free.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

There has been a shuffle in your social network, as of late. It seems you don’t quite know who you can trust and who you can’t. It’s okay though, don’t get too stressed out about it. This shuffle needed to take place because there were certain people you needed to let go of. The ones that are loyal to you, that get you or are on the same wavelength, will remain. But you’re not through the woods yet. Some shuffling still has to occur. Stay alert, and don’t totally let your guard down just yet. Over the next few weeks a few more of your friends will fall out of your social sphere. Some of this letting go will be painful and some will not. But let it happen. Don’t try to hold on. A new configuration is trying to align itself, one that will be more in tune with your bigger picture.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

As if you haven’t been through enough lately, you’re being faced with yet another challenge—one that has to do with letting go of sorrow. Remember to draw upon your inner strength; the self that can see all angles of any story or scenario, the self that has compassion for all and whose interest is concerned only with the greater good. Right now you’re not going to feel like you have much control over anything. You’re going to realize that your past experiences cannot help get you through the challenges you currently face. So look, and ask, for help. Seek out a mentor and heed their advice even if you don’t understand how the advice can help you. At the same time, look for answers where you would least expect them. Intend to seek out truth, or the core essence of things, and let truth be the guiding factor in your actions.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You are embarking on a solitary journey that will see you becoming part of a group. You have no idea what you’re doing, meaning that there is no set plan and you haven’t really thought it all through, but you’re trusting that you’re on the right path. And you are. You are weaving your future reality and dreaming into existence that which you so desire. However, you have come to the realization that you are, in fact, alone. That this journey, this quest you might say, is a test from your soul or source. What you haven’t quite grasped is the fact that this quest is going to put you on a path to glorious self-discovery through the contribution of your talents to a group of like-minded people.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Oooooh, stretch kitty kitty. Stretch and open up all the closed doors within your body, the blocked passageways of energetic movement and flow. The more receptive you are, the more you will reap the rewards of your hard work. Your natural, charismatic, charming, and magnetic personality is attracting connections and possibilities like bees to pollen. Keep humility in mind. Stay humble. Put your ego in check. Do your damnedest to walk with grace and compassion and empathy. Let the sunshine of your Self flow through your veins like honey. Embrace the world with gentle and life-giving arms of love and watch how the magic flows back to you. In other words: do you have specific goals in mind? Weren’t too sure when would be the right time to pounce? The answer is now, my friend. Act and do now.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You’re slowly starting to realize two things:

You are, in fact, adapting to the dramatic changes that have occurred in your life over the last while.
You are actually on an adventure.

Don’t worry. You won’t be disappointed. I know that’s what you’re thinking. You tell yourself that you probably shouldn’t follow where the change wants to take you cause you’ll just be disappointed anyway. Not true, my friend. Not true. It’s time to make your presence known. It’s time to shake things up. It’s time to not give a damn what other people think. You don’t know what’s around the next corner, and that’s okay. It doesn’t matter anyway. This time in your life is all about the journey, not necessarily the destination.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Things are slowing down. Like, imagine if your superpower was to stop time. You could analyze even the minutest of details. In essence this is what you have been doing. You have been learning patience through close examination of yourself and others. You have come to embrace that you are at a place of new beginnings. You are letting go of outdated views and bad habits and welcoming co-ordination and collaboration with family and friends. Though you had thought you had lost something, you now see that you have found something even more precious. A word of caution: things are going to continue to feel dull for a while. The change hasn’t quite completed itself and you haven’t quite adapted to the slow-down of time. You’ll get there, though.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Things are really going well for you right now, aren’t they? I mean, for the most part you are balanced, engaged, and feeling like everything is in harmony. You’re prayers are being answered. This is good, and is as is should be. However, now is not the time to get complacent. If you really think about it, you know you have a lot more work to do. This year is all about learning and facing all the stuff you don’t really want to face. It’s going to keep happening whether you like it or not, so stay aware; keep that third eye open. The changes you have experienced over the last while have not yet stabilized themselves. There are still many things to organize, settle, and define. Don’t lose hope. Remember: you are in harmony with yourself and your life, and your prayers are being answered.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The road is a bit rough right now, eh? A little bumpy and slow going? Is your patience being tested? Are you feeling more than a little disappointed with how things are going and how other people are acting and how they conduct their lives? I’m afraid the only way through this time is to see it as an adventure. Pretend you are on a pirate ship in stormy seas. You will reach the treasure, but first you must make sure to keep the ship on course and off the jagged rocks. You can do this. Pay attention to the small details. Work on building a strong foundation for your dreams and goals. Be methodical and analytical. Try to learn as much as you can from each situation.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Working with others. It just fills your heart when it’s with the right people, doesn’t it? You’ve come to accept some things about yourself and you feel as though a dam has burst within you. In doing so this explosion of energy has released a pressure that had been growing inside you. But it has also shaken up the normal familiarity of your world and almost nothing is as you thought is was, or how you thought it was going to be. But that’s okay. It’s all to a positive end. You needed this little disturbance in The Force to shake you up and make you see that you were on the right path in the first place, that being who you are is all that is required. As you relax into the natural harmony of the situation, keep a lighthouse eye on your world. Think 360 degrees and begin to see the big picture (and your beauty and worth) once and for all.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Your heart is building trust again. You are looking through innocent eyes that want to believe. Try to calm your mind—bring silence to the endless babble—and in that silence find the joy and trust you long for. You might think you’re fighting a battle, you might see yourself as a warrior trying to slash your way through to trust and openness. But that’s not how it works. Life happens in the little moments. People trust when they feel seen and thus they can be completely themselves, without judgement. You need to face your own deep-rooted prejudices and understand your life in all it’s complexity before you can truly have empathy or compassion for others. Just be honest with yourself, and through doing so see the honesty and truth in others.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Okay, Pisces, here’s the thing. Healing wants to take place, but you’re going to have to learn to take a step back. Don’t push your own agenda now. You won’t find your way to the healing if you don’t face your inner truth. Instead draw on your inner knowing and your ability to see into the future. You’re still clinging to the past. You’re holding onto prejudices and judgements that no longer serve you. You need to watch your environment and learn from it. Look at the world through eyes clear of preconceptions. And instead of wondering which path (out of the millions you have planned out in your head) you should chose, realize that there is a completely new path trying to make itself known to you. All the more reason to keep your scope of vision wide and far reaching.

Horoscopes for April 15 to April 30, 2016

Posted on April 15, 2016 by tamumiles

All Signs

In case you haven’t noticed, spring is in full swing at the moment and a lot of change is taking place in the landscape around us. Spring blossoms are bursting forth, bulbs are blooming, and a lush green is returning to the landscape (well, if you live in British Columbia, Canada it is. I guess Ontario will have to wait a bit longer). The point is earth is moving along in its season cycles, and we are too. There’s a sense of restlessness within our hearts, and for some of us, in our feet and knees as well. We want to get on with things, we’re a little too impatient, a little too excitable.

Don’t be fooled though, now is not the time to make major decisions or jump to rash conclusions. I know this sounds against the grain of your instinct, and perhaps even your rational, but hear me out.

Right now, you’re like that bud bursting forth on the cherry tree in your neighbourhood: you have to flower before you can bear fruit. And in this time, you need to pay special attention to a couple of things:

What is life is throwing your way that is forcing you to face negative or unhealthy perspectives, paths, and attitudes within you?
What is going on in your dreamtime? I mean daydream/space-out time as well as sleeping dreamtime. Your psyche is using your dreams to work out issues that your ego has tied up and left for dead on a back road somewhere down memory lane.

To give you the energy you need to do the emotional and spiritual work required your body and energy are drawing huge amounts of nutrients from the world around you. That means you need to eat right, get enough sleep, and pay attention to who you surround yourself with and how much you take on. To deal with the raw emotions that want to move, the moods that seem so erratic, consider writing down your dreams in a journal. Use an activity like this to help you process and become in sync with the changing landscape of your inner self. Just let the process take place and see how your perspective changes over the next while.

Also, it’s important right now to take moments for silence. Stop distracting yourself with your electronic devices, pull away from media influence, and try to cut down on your television intake. Just let yourself have time with your thoughts and emotions and try to hear the silence through them. Doing so is important as you are building reserves for later, you are literally filling yourself up with emotional, mental, and physical food and energy for the tasks that lay ahead of you as you grow from flower to fruit to harvest.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Hey you! Yeah you, with that positive attitude, keep it up! You’re doing great. You’ve got it figured out right now. Well, at least when it comes to a positive life perspective you do. You’ve decided that shit happens and the only way to deal with it is through joy and cheerfulness; through a positive and upbeat attitude. Part of the reason you’re able to be so damned cheerful about everything right now is because you are able to see the big picture, to look into the future of things and see that it’s all going to be okay. You’re also filled with new ideas and you feel like anything is possible. Go for it. You can do it. Just watch, you’ll see that you are inspiring your fellow human beings along the way.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

It sounds cliche, but through meditation you will find the information you need about how to move forward with your desire to co-create with others. Your main focus right now is both the gathering and preserving of resources and energy. You’re thinking long-term and you’ve got a plan. The only place where the plan lacks, is how to engage with others. Don’t worry, it will come to you, the door to the solutions will present itself to you, you just have to stay alert. So listen to yourself, take time to gather your thoughts and not be distracted. Learn to be at peace with yourself and to calm the inner fires that rage within you so that you can hear your inner knowing.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

You’ve got some keen insight going on right now, Gemini. You aren’t fooled by people who try to hide their motives, their pain, and their deepest secrets. However, it is very important that you do not use this intuitive knowledge to hold on to past injustices that have been done to you. Right now you have to learn to let go of grudges you may hold, as well as any egotistical or alienating feelings and motives within yourself. If you don’t do this work, you are going to miss out on the fulfillment that wants to come your way and you will continue to experience the heavy sorrow that has been weighing on your heart.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Be prepared to get industrious! Busy bee, that’s what you’ll be! You will have to conquer some anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed, but you’ll be okay. Prioritize, plan, see the stages of your work for what they are, and be very practical about what you take on in any given day. Don’t try to overdo it, or you’ll sabotage yourself and perpetuate the personal perception that says you aren’t smart enough, don’t have enough talent, and that you certainly don’t deserve success. We both know that this story is a load of B.S., right? Come on, my friend! Remember that you are acting from an inner, pure morality; a place within yourself that feels part of something, that is aligned with the health and well-being of everyone you love and care about. You are a sign that has reincarnated itself many times on this planet, learn to listen to the knowing that this truth brings you.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

The universe wants to fill you up with soul food. Really. Pay attention to your dreams, become aware of how your energy arcs out from your being and seeks for knowledge, magic, and connection with all of Self. In other words, you are not going to want to be terribly busy right now. In fact, sitting on your couch reading a book or basking in the spring sun with a drink sounds pretty darn good, doesn’t it? But wait a minute, don’t let your brain get you all messed up about this, don’t let it start telling you that you’re lazy. That’s not the truth at all. You’re doing very important work, or you could be if you let yourself. Weave your world, set your intent, move mountains with your energy. The active, practical action will come later. Right now you are building a city of joy and possibilities in your soul.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Well, in case you didn’t know it, there’s a lot of change taking place in your life right now. If you’re looking for a sign as to whether or not you are on the right track, this is it. Though you are experiencing bouts of schizophrenia, you are still achieving you goal/s. Don’t worry about those moments where you can’t tell if you’re coming or going, or a different part of yourself responds and later you can’t remember why the hell you did “this” action, or said “this” thing to someone. It’ll all come out in the wash. Don’t be afraid to act. You have an alignment going on right now between your soul, your mind, and the universe: as long as you keep your intent clear and bearing in mind the needs and desires of your loved ones, you will be able to achieve what you are aiming for. Just know that when this process has completed itself you will be a different person; you will have changed. And this will be for the better.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

I’m afraid the lesson you’ve chosen to learn right now is coming at you as a bit of a slap in the face. You want to feel love, joy, and connection (in fact you feel a little lost right now; nowhere to set anchor, so to speak), but your ideas about how this should happen are getting in the way of you actually achieving it. There’s a truth to how the love and joy and connection will show up, and you’ve stubbornly distanced yourself from it so your soul has rigged up a lesson to snap you back to reality. Remember: you chose this lesson through your actions and your intent, so however it shows up know that you have no-one else to blame. The more you make an effort to shed your prejudices and judgements, the more you will be able to develop an unbiased and holistic point of view. Stay focussed on the purity of your desire for joy and love.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Logic and self-awareness dictate that you need to be gentle on yourself right now. I know it sounds a little overwhelming and scary, but you can allow space for rejuvenation and healing. You know that you need to find ways to feed your body, mind, and soul, but you don’t know what they are. Try to remember that your fear isn’t real; you’ve created it because your are hesitant to embracing the genius in your weirdness. Follow your innocence, and trust the universe is bringing you what you need. The part of you that feels like the outsider when it comes to the rest of the world is working toward healing and discovering a new sense of wholeness or completion. On a practical level, don’t use force to achieve your goals, instead utilize your gentle side and trust your instincts.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

A sense of balance, that’s what you are trying to achieve at this time. You’ve got a lot on your plate and you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by it all, so buckle down and take the time to get back to the basics. Eliminate, prioritize, and see how fast your self esteem builds. No longer will you be stuck in a “no can do” attitude, instead you’ll begin to be filled with a “Yes, I can!” attitude. Eliminating excess plans and responsibility will free you up to truly experience the wonder that is your life right now. Look around you, there’s some pretty cool stuff going on, isn’t there? Lot’s of potential for more cool stuff, too. Seize the day, my friend! You got this!

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Okay, dear Capricorn, you’d better pay attention. Energy is moving and things are happening and you are ready whether you think you are or not. You’ll find that your perception of things—your long-held beliefs, prejudices and judgements—will be challenged and will begin to fall away like so much dead skin. This will make you a bit cranky—nobody likes their ego to be challenged—but if you can accept that your soul is delivering some tough love you’ll have an easier time accepting the lesson and learning from it. A lot of love wants to come your way, and with it solutions to problems you haven’t yet been able to solve. Keep your eyes open for kindred heart and for experiences that expand your perception of what love is.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

The moon, she is calling you, dear Aquarius. Can you hear her? A transformation is on its way, you’re weaving your cocoon as we speak. Unfortunately, you’ve got a few lessons to learn along the way and it’s going to be a bit of a bumpy ride. Your best plan is to honestly re-assess your life. Look at your strengths and weaknesses, remain calm, and stay alert and observant. It’s okay to seek solitude right now as it will allow you to bypass a lot of drama that doesn’t need to involve itself in your life. You’ve got no control over what is being thrown at you, so you might as well reduce your risk of being hit by random debris. Bear in mind that this transformation is just the beginning. By the end of the year the process will see you looking at life in a different light, so buckle in and ready yourself for the long haul. I promise it will be worth it.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Stand strong in your integrity, Pisces. You’ve been jumping the gun again and you need to back off and let things take their natural course. You can count on the loyalty of your loved ones to back you up as you walk along this path of intent you have set for yourself, but you can’t take anything for granted. This is a difficult time because you have to both work to bring order to the chaos of your life and learn to let go and adapt to a lot of change. New ideas and ways of doing things will continue to be a constant norm, so you might as well surrender to it. Work to let go of past perceptions, longings, and ways of doing things. You are here now, and the past no longer serves you.

Horoscopes for April 1 to April 15, 2016

Posted on April 2, 2016 by tamumiles

All Signs

To quote the great Neil Peart of Rush:

Roll the Bones

“Well, you can stake that claim

Good work is the key to good fortune

Winners take that praise

Losers seldom take that blame

If they don’t take that game

And sometimes the winner takes nothing

We draw our own designs

But fortune has to make that frame

We go out in the world and take our chances

Fate is just the weight of circumstances

That’s the way that lady luck dances

Roll the bones”

Your whole life is a tarot deck

So use it. Analyze it. Pay attention to it. Every little detail is a creation stemming from your solar plexus and beaming out through your fingertips.

Now is the time to face our weaknesses, our doubts and fears, and our mistakes.

There is a driving force that beats in our hearts. Sometimes it’s too much to bear. There is a sense of urgency and power. We want to take back the moment while we still can. Follow this urge. Plunge into creating and doing and acting. But do it with the knowledge and wisdom that you have accumulated over your years. Watch your words, your attitudes, the ups and downs of your emotions. See how you impact and have influence on your friends, family, and co-workers. Imagine that your words and actions are spinning a web out into the world and this web interacts with the webs of everyone and everything around you. Take ownership of your part of the creation of society and culture.

We can pull back the veil of denial, if we want to. We can see into our own futures by looking to every aspect of the present. We can create the lives we want, cultivate friends and beloved, do what makes us happy, if we claim back ownership and take responsibility for our lives.

This is no trifle task. It isn’t something to just reflect upon and think, “oh isn’t that quaint.” The more pure you are in your everyday actions—the more you come from your inner truth with integrity and intent—the more these actions will have a positive effect on your practical, everyday reality.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Stay focussed on long-term plans, dear Aries. Don’t get lost in the mundane day-to-day too much. You are experiencing a period of short-term success (which, by the way, will lead to long-term success) and it’s tempting to adopt an attitude of “I’ve worked hard enough, I deserve to have fun for a while.” While there’s nothing wrong with having fun, in your case it can get out of control and can deteriorate into “I’m going to spend all the monies right now.” This would not be a good idea. However, it will help if you look at the world through your innocent eyes. The eyes that existed when you were a child. Learn to build trust in the natural process (destiny) of your life through this innocence and wonder. Through doing so, you will also learn what situations make you bristle like a scared porcupine, and you will then be able to use your inventive mind to create the kind of trust-filled life you long for.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

You think you have a big decision to make, don’t you? Your heart is all tied up in knots, and you’re wringing your hands and you feeling conflicted. You’re heart says one thing and your brain tells you another. Well, trust me when I say that your emotions are clouding your judgement. There is no decision to make, except to re-commit yourself to whatever path you are on. Endurance is the key. And don’t think too small, either. Widen your horizons, see life for the adventure that it is; lighten up. Yes, there is a path. Yes, you need to be committed to it. Yes, that person is very important to you and you mustn’t push them away. But what are you doing all of this for if not to bring joy into your life?

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Like Taurus, you too are learning to act from your innocence. You are learning that things only get difficult when your ego gets in the way. Your prayers are being answered, the universe is listening to you. On the dreamtime there is much activity. You are sorting through the many layers of yourself and finding what truly matters to you. It’s hard to see all of this going on with so much sorrow running it’s course through your life. Try as much as you can to see this sorrow for the lesson that it is. You are learning to let go, to surrender, to loosen the grip of control that you have over every aspect of your life. Once this lesson has run its course, you will know yourself to be a more whole, more centred, and more grounded person. And you will know a new kind of peace.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Strength is returning to your body, soul, and mind. It’s a little bit easier to keep moving forward. You don’t feel quite so weighted down by the enormity of it all. This is good, use this strength. It won’t last forever and there are certain things you need to get done. To help with the tasks set before you, reach out to your community as much as possible. As for help. Dive into co-creation. Allow space and time for the cultivation of shared fortune. Doing so will infuse you with the experience of community and shared goals, and you need this very much right now. Every little step forward, by any individual, helps the group as a whole. So by taking care of yourself; by focussing on and attaining your goals, you give back to your community.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

There are changes taking place in your life, and you don’t feel like you’re completely in control of them. That’s ok, you can’t do anything about circumstances and people outside of your person. All you have control over is your actions. Stay fixed on your goal. And what is that goal, you ask? Some aspect of your life is making you feel suppressed, silenced, and locked up. Am I right? And currently you are in the process of breaking through this suppression. You can do it! Trust in the universe, keep your head down, and focus on the actions only you can make to get you through the mess to the gloriousness of the other side.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Be careful, Virgo. You are allowing your emotions to cloud your judgement these days. You feel a strong desire to chuck it in the fuck-it bucket, and move on. Ahem. This isn’t going to work. You need to buckle down, narrow your focus, and stay intent on your long-term goals. There are many aspects of your personality and being that are integrating themselves into your psyche. There are many aspects of your life that are being simplified and clarified, downsized and revamped. I know it’s hard, the process seems to take so long and drain all of your energy and you just wish it would be over now, but you have to hold out a bit longer. You have to be strong so you won’t be paying for mistakes later on.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

So, there’s a lot of inner work going on right now. You are learning to gather and store your energy and resources and at the same time you are learning to distill your life down to a few important truths. You are truly expressing your Libra traits as the main goal seems to be the attainment of balance. This may sound all serious and weighty, but you’re not going to let that happen, are you? You want to approach this process with enthusiasm and a sense of adventure, and you shouldn’t shy away from this urge. Have fun brainstorming the many ways you can consolidate the many aspects of your life.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Ok, Scorpio, it’s time to set aside your super analytical, nit-picky self for a while. I know how you love to push buttons—and most of the time this trait is the way in which your source self makes others face and admit to their truth—but right now it’s getting in the way of the bigger lesson. The sense of disappointment you’ve been carrying around with you for quite some time is trying to change. You feel the intensity of it. It’s almost like a tide that has been relentlessly pounding on your inner doors. Let this tide crash through. Let it flood you. Let it show you that the path to trust, kinship and success lies in your ability to have compassion and empathy for your fellow human beings. To see things from their point of view. By doing so, you will find ways to better accomplish your goals with ease and harmony.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You are making peace with your past. You have enough courage right now to own up to your mistakes and confront others who have hurt you in the past. And none of this is taking place through the lens of anger or resentment. In fact, you’re quite in tune with the knowledge that your prayers are being answered and this allows you to embrace the energy of integration (wherein all aspects of your Self and your life come into harmony) with an attitude of playfulness and joy. In other words, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and this light gives you the strength to carry on. By the way, there are many people that could benefit from your personal story and inner wisdom right now, so don’t hold back when you feel to share your experience.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Now is a time of action, and you can feel it. Desire for movement and change pulses in your veins. You have goals that have been put on the shelf for a while because you were stuck in limbo emotionally and energetically, but that is beginning to shift. You’ll still have to be patient, as all of us do, but the difference now is that the patience is infused with purpose. There is an element of trust here, as you’re not one hundred per cent clear on all the details of the change. So in some respects you’re having to allow things to unfold as they do. However, working and co-creating with others, and knowing when and how to ask for help, will lead you in the right direction and will help you to hone your intent.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You have gotten yourself into something that will take some strategizing in order to get yourself out. Be tactful. Take the path of least resistance. Stick to your principals and don’t compromise your integrity. In order to create change you’re going to have to dive into the heart of the problem, the reason why you are suffering difficulties at this time, and know that core problem from the inside out. You are going to have to face your own truths and your inner demons. I know this scares the shit out of you. It’s the last thing on earth you would like to do, but if you want to resolve the issue and retain a sense of equanimity and balance, you’re going to have to get real with yourself.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Things are falling into place, my friend. Everything is as it should be and the movements that are happening feel harmonious. Your soul is being fed, your heart filled up, and your eyes opened to how many people are on your side. In fact, you might feel a little overwhelmed by how much attention you are attracting. Just know that this attention is the result of all the hard work you’ve done and the intensity and beauty with which you are blossoming out into the world at this time. Stay receptive to magic, plunge headlong into acts of creative exploration, and greet the upturned eyes of your kindred heart and beloved.

Horoscopes for March 15 to March 31, 2016

All Signs

The difficult tasks that each of us face, each and every day, are going to start feeling lighter and easier over the next couple of weeks. Not that they’ll be any less challenging, important, or demanding of our time and energy, but they will not feel so deeply serious as trudging through the Swamp of Sadness from the Neverending Story.

What has changed, you ask? Well, whether we were aware of it or not we were not quite ready to face certain things or take on certain issues. We were holding back somehow, not quite sure if we were on the right path, if we had been making the right decisions, or if maybe our confidence just hadn’t had time to bloom. Now, however, there is a sense of rightness to the timing of everything. Somewhere inside we just know, and that knowing is all it takes to move forward.

Don’t confuse this inner knowing with the kind of knowing that comes from logic. This knowing is deep in our bellies, and so most of the time the brain will not really “know” what is going on. Just let that be. Don’t try to control things too much. Let your gut guide you; your intuition and instinct. Feel the joy of your actions, your intent, and your impact on the world around you. Work toward shared experience with others. Don’t let your ego get in the way. Keep your mind on the big picture and let your heart be filled with concern and compassion for your fellow human beings.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Use logic to combat feelings of isolation. You have a lot of energy available to you right now and therefore you have the ability to tackle big projects and lifelong goals. These goals are not necessarily career oriented, in fact it is more likely that they are related to your personal development. Be wary of your ego, for once things start to click into place and you start to feel the tide of unstoppable accomplishment wash through you, it will become a little difficult not to jump up onto your high horse. I’m not saying don’t congratulate yourself on your hard work, but don’t forget that everyone has their own path and just because you’re able to move forward right now doesn’t mean that others are not able to do so in their own time.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

If you want to bring fulfillment into your life, if you want to access the creative, divine flow within you, you must focus your attention on the small details. Having your eye on the big picture is very important, especially if you are in a management position or if you are doing something like planning a the next phase of your life (such as purchasing a house, growing a family, etc.), but if you don’t take the time to bring your attention back to the small details every once in a while you are going to end up derailing the big picture further down the line.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

If you wanted a sign, here it is. You have passed through the time of waiting and have now entered the time of action. However, it would be beneficial if you were to keep in mind that the actions you take must come from the place of stillness and silence within you. Don’t make hasty decisions, don’t be rash in your actions, and don’t take for granted the support you have either from your friends and family, or from the universe. There is great potential right now. Don’t squander it. The payoff will prove to be more than just financial gain, a promotion or some such advancement. It will see that your heart is filled with the ecstatic feeling of doing what you love.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Oh, dear Cancer. I know that you have been fighting an uphill battle for a while now. Things have not been easy and everywhere you turn you feel like you’re banging your head against a wall. But, my dear, dear friend, this is just the bumps in the road of life. And though you cannot see it right now, you are learning a lesson that will bring you much more strength than you can currently imagine you have. The lesson is still in full swing, and you are going to continue to feel as though your are being hit by waves of negative energy from the outside world (co-workers, family members, and friends), and you are going to continue to feel as though you have no room to move, no control over your life, and no voice with which to express your truth. However, I’ll let you in on a little secret that will help you work through and survive all that: learn to ask for and accept help. That’s it. It’s not complicated. Co-operation is they key. At the heart of this truth is the need for you to come to understand you cannot tackle, all by yourself, the challenges that lay before you.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Every aspect of your life probably feels like it’s in transition right now. Nothing is solid or sure, and even the most established of routines are undergoing some kind of change. In fact your life is a direct reflection of the March weather we are experiencing here on the west coast; unpredictable yet driven by the powerful force of spring’s influence. Now is a great time to get creative, think about how you want to change things and have control over the direction of the change itself instead of becoming a victim of its movements. What you say will influence those around you, and your ideas can help build a foundation for future growth and prosperity. This goes for your personal life as well as your professional one.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

So, you’ve hit a kind of plateau, haven’t you? You have climbed all the ladders, exhausted all your creative ideas, cut through all the red tape and now you feel torn between two emotions: the desire to sit back on your laurels, and the itch that is the need for more challenges. The combination of these two emotions has left you with the bad taste of sorrow in your mouth. You are a little despondent or disheartened and thus uninspired. They key to changing this state of affairs? Choose adventure! Stir the pot. Take the road less traveled. Energize your mind, body, and soul through the use of energetic shock therapy. Get controversial, my friend, and don’t let anyone stand in your way.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Take stock of every positive thing in your life. Pay attention to the love and sharing that has been, and will continue, to take place between you and your friends and loved ones. Hold those experiences close to your heart. Your life has not felt particularly stable lately and sometimes you can’t help but think that everything is falling apart. I promise this feeling will soon pass and you will begin to embrace the change that is taking place. Be open to new experiences and people. Work toward seeing the positive instead of the negative. Remember, the only constant in life is change. You’ll never outrun that truth.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Oh my! Look at this, Scorpio. You stand before a gateway to nothingness/everythingness. This door sits in front of your will and heart chakras. The possibilities of the universe lay at your fingertips, so to speak. Your job is to open the door. Your job is to accept that change is coming, whether you want it to or not, and that you have the choice to embrace it with power and dignity, or to hide in the corner and become a victim. To help yourself through this time, evoke a protective shell around you and your world. Create sacred space in your life, do not allow others to distract you from the task at hand, and be conscious of the nourishment your body and soul are crying out for. This is not meant to be a difficult time, so get that thought out of your head right now. This is meant to be a joyous and freeing time where you fill yourself with your own divine and gather strength from that fulfillment.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You are birthing out of conflict. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true. The conflict you’ve been experiencing in your life over the past while has the potential to compost and grow into something new. And what is this something new that I speak of? Why, it’s you, glorious being! You are a brilliant, shining star. And this is the truth, no matter what others have made you feel about yourself. Just a heads up though, the birth will not take place by denying the conflict and trying to push it out of your life. It will take place by trying to understand the conflict and by looking at the big picture of your life. Why did the conflict occur? What has it taught you? What can you do to avoid such conflict in the future?

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Pay attention to your inner voice, Capricorn. There are secrets being whispered that only you can hear, and it’s time you heard them. Want a hint as to what these secrets are? They have to do with your perspective on life. They have to do with accepting love, with being in a state of joy, with moving about in the world by drawing on the goodness you carry within your heart. Doing so doesn’t take away from the seriousness of our times or with the fact that something has to be done to turn the tide of hatred and destruction, it only gives you another way to approach these issues. A way that doesn’t make your heart quite so heavy or your brow quite so furrowed. There is joy to be had, so have it. And not only are you a part of that joy, you are a bearer and bestower of it.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You stand at the crux of change. You’ve been sort of ignoring this fact for a while, but it keeps pushing itself in your face and now there is no denying that it is true. Part of the reason you have been ignoring it is that you feel overwhelmed. There is too much going on, too many things to be aware of. If you put your mind to resolving this chaos, you will be successful. Ignoring the chaos and the change that wants to be born out of it is what is causing you trouble. The other piece of advice you need to hear is that you need to have an attitude of compromise. You can’t always have things your way and your inflexibility is driving away help that you really do need. And it may be driving away more than that (like friends and loved ones). Really think about what you are doing, because if you drive away those people you are going to regret it big time later on.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

You’ve had enough of the fear that sits in your belly because you’ve tried doing things how you think you’re supposed to do them and it hasn’t worked out. You’re tired of feeling uninspired. You’re tired of conforming. You’re tired of “towing the company line”. Right? In fact, you’ve probably shied away from certain creative endeavours over the last while because you simply cannot force yourself to do them the way you’ve been taught they are supposed to be done. Well, good news, Pisces. It’s time to stop pretending and to only focus on those projects that make you feel inspired. Do your art for yourself. Do it because it makes you feel good. Do it without trying to conform to conventional methods. You are here to witness this historic time on this earth and to be a reflection of the beauty you see under all the chaos and distortion. You are not meant to conform.

Technical Difficulties – and other news

Posted on March 13, 2015 by tamumiles

Hello Navigating the Stars community and valued friends!

Today has just been one of those days; nothing has worked out as I planned. Perhaps you are experiencing a similar trend in your day? If you are, know that I share your frustration.

This morning I discovered that somewhere along the way between my Shooting for the Stars event in Nanaimo on Monday, and my ability to actually have time to sit down at the computer today, the power cord for my laptop went missing.

At first, I have to admit, I panicked. I thought perhaps my world might come to a screeching halt, or crumble all together, but I’ve since managed to pull myself up by my boot straps and get my old, and extremely slow, HP laptop up and running.

So, you can expect horoscopes to be posted as soon as possible, but I’m afraid that video of the Shooting for the Stars event will have to be postponed until I’m able to purchase a new cord for my Mac.

In the meantime, I should let you all know that both my Kickstarter campaign and my Shooting for the Stars event were successful in that I was able to get the word out to you, my friends, family and online community. And you sure responded! I feel blessed, humbled, and thankful for all of the donations to my campaign, likes and shares of my posts on Facebook and Twitter, and the private messages and phone calls that many of you made. You have fed me strength. You have helped me believe in myself and my ability to finish the book. And I am forever thankful to all of you.

I didn’t reach my goal of $2,500, so I will not receive any funds from Kickstarter, but I’m not going to let that discourage me. No siree! This novel will get written, come hell or high water. Doing so is a challenge, and it’s one that I’ve waited my entire life to take on. And it is all the more possible because of your love and support.

I will post more about the Shooting for the Stars event in the coming days, for it was a fabulous evening with some really wonderful people who took time out of their lives to listen to an excerpt of my novel, share some food and drinks, and generally have a good time.

Thanks again, people! Horoscopes to be posted soon!

Cheers,

Tamu

Horoscopes – Feb. 27 to Mar. 13, 2015

Posted on February 27, 2015 by tamumiles

All Signs

Push for breakthrough. For if we want fulfillment, if we want life to bring us what we need and if we want to feel complete, whole, and like we are on track with what our inner selves and souls are trying to accomplish, we’re going to have to push through our resistance to change. This means that we are going to have to have courage to do what scares us, address our demons, and navigate past barriers that have been in our way.

This is no small feat. We will have to be brave. We can no longer console ourselves with the assumption that we can put off what has to be done, until tomorrow. The time to act is now.

However, many may interpret this as a message to get more busy, to work harder, to go faster. Well, whoa there, Nellie. By galloping ahead all we’re really doing is trampling over the magic and opportunity available to us. So what are we supposed do do? Well this might surprise you, but we need to slow down, take stock of our lives, and get creative with our plans and our visions of the future. Be deliberate. Try to act instead of react to life. We need to let go of the sorrow we hold over plans that never worked, paths that turned out to be going in the wrong direction, and dreams that never manifested.

The survival of any species is dictated by its ability to adapt, and that’s what we’re being asked to do. Each of us makes choices in every moment of every day, and those choices dictate the trajectory of our lives. So we need to be conscious of the choices we make, and understand that this doesn’t mean paying for or feeling guilty about choices that have seemingly led us in the wrong direction in the past, we just need to adapt to the now and become more present, alert, and aware of the choices we make in the moment. We are the masters of our own individual realities, and yet every choice we make also affects the world around us.

So choose to break through the barriers that have been in your way, but not like a bull in a China shop, destroying everything in its path, but as an awakening human with a destiny.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Others will be keeping a close eye on you over the next while. They are going to be looking for a sign. These people want to know that you are ready to own your brilliance, that you are ready to discard your old self in favour of the new. They want to see evidence that you are ready to move forward and become the potential that you have within you. But it’s also more than that. These people are looking for the best candidate for the job, and you are high on their list. However, if you can’t live up to their standards, they are going to move on. Now, I know you, and I know that this kind of ultimatum will only make you rebellious and send you running in the opposite direction. But before you do, I want you to consider this: what these people have to offer could be exactly what you’ve been praying for. It could be the job or promotion you’ve had your eye on. It could be the relationship you’ve been dreaming of. It could be the answer to some silent prayer that I have no hope of knowing. So shine brightly, my friend. Give life all you’ve got.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

There’s a major shift taking place in your life. It might not express itself in your everyday reality as an intense change that causes upheaval, but it is happening none-the-less. By following your feet and trusting that the universe is taking care of you, you are leading yourself along a path that will see you transform the way you express yourself out into the world. You’re tired of current norms that dictate that one must carry a heavy burden if one is to be successful. No, you want to feel inspired. You want to get your hands dirty and create for the sheer joy of creating. However, you need to learn how to protect your heart and energy field from those who would influence your path and make you feel like you should be carrying a burden, that things should be hard. You know they’re just talking nonsense and that success can come easily and life can be fun. Let go of those who tell you that you cannot achieve what you want, that your aspirations are too lofty. They no longer serve you and they never really did.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

I’m sorry, you’re not quite done with anxiety and angst. The good thing is that you’re starting to realize that you’ve been experiencing these emotions because your mind has been on overdrive. You’re starting to relax and see that the world isn’t ending and that you are building the foundation of your future. All you need to do is trust that everything will be okay. Remember that you are the creator of your life and that no-one else is responsible for how it plays itself out, but you. It’s really important that you take some time for inner reflection. That you meditate or do whatever it takes to feel connected to your source, your core, the self inside you that knows and is at peace. Be like the eagle and try to see your life and the circumstances you face from all angles so that you can make educated decisions and so that you don’t trick yourself into thinking that you are small and insignificant.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

If you have felt a little lost and confused lately, be comforted, help is on the way. Right now your soul is amping up your ability to be the Seer, to be your version of a shaman and look into your future. The harmony and ease you’ve been seeking, even longing for, is going to seep into your daily life and make you aware that its been with you all along. All you need to do right now is live moment-to-moment and draw upon your inner master. You know, the one that really does have it all figured out before your mind gets in the way and makes you feel insecure. You have a strength in you that hardly ever gets to show itself. You need to let that strength flower, let it open and fill your being. Trust that you have the ability to do what needs to be done and that the path you have chosen is the right one. You have the gift of sight, so use it. Trust the little voice that sits in your belly, that makes you quake a bit when you hear it, makes you feel like you’re about to jump off a cliff and fly. And stop listening to the neurotic, fearful voice that has entrenched itself firmly in your cerebral cortex.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

How do you define right and wrong? What are the values that you stick to and try to uphold? These are questions that you’re going to be asking yourself over the next while. You will feel like you’re the old man sitting in the corner of the bar, and you’re watching the world very closely. This little old man, or woman for that matter, doesn’t trust what he sees; he doesn’t trust the motivations of others because he can see through their facade. You, my friend, are sick of games and negativity. You want to create realness, vitality, inspiration, and love. You want to open your mind to the endless possibilities of the universe and share that information with the world. The effort that it takes to try and enlighten others with this knowledge has left you exhausted. To counter this exhaustion, remember that you have the universe on your side. It’s not your job to help everyone “see the light.” Your job is merely to wake up as best you can and live your life the way you want.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You might feel a little isolated over the next while, sort of like you don’t quite fit in with the rest of the group. However, there’s magic brewing, beautiful things waiting to happen, and unexpected surprises on the way. At the moment you see yourself and your place in the universe and this seeing makes you want to preserve and take care of the beauty that humanity’s existence represents. Making dinner, doing the dishes, feeding the cat, chatting with a friend, going to work. All of these things represent the beauty of life for you right now and though it may look as though others don’t share this point of view, you can be sure that they are counting on you to hold it. For when they get tired of distracting themselves, they too will want to return to the comfort of home that is provided by those, like you, who take pride in building life from the ground up. You can also be sure that soon you will be manoeuvred by the universe to centre stage and that others will be looking to you for guidance in their search for meaning and beauty.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Time to get creative! If you want to find your bliss, that is. Do anything that involves your creativity. For you’re going to go through a series of disappointments and you’ll need your artistic side awake and present to help you learn how to see these disappointments as part of the natural cycle of things. What you want in terms of relationship and intimacy is not going to be met at this time because you haven’t met that person who you can be totally yourself with and who you feel that you can implicitly trust. You’re still learning about trust and intimacy though, aren’t you? So dance through this learning with an awareness that everything happens at the right time: when we are ready. And remember that intimacy also exists between friends and family members, and that your learning is platonic in its reach.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Draw strength from your love of the world. Love wants to come your way, so you’ll have to make sure you don’t have your deflectors up when it arrives. Your friends and loved ones will be acting as messengers from the universe which wants to teach you about totality, or the feeling of belonging. You constantly hold yourself outside the rest of humanity, and though this has had it’s advantages, it has also wreaked havoc on you heart. It’s time to step into the circle. It’s time to allow others to reach out to you without having to fear your stinger. Trust that others do see the beauty that you see and they feel just as worried about the future of humanity and the Earth as you are. They care just as deeply for those who go without or are shunned from society, and they care deeply about you. Your trek into the wild, lonely places of the human psyche are over, and you are going to have to get used to the fact that a passion for action is filling you, and that people are going to be passionate about being around you. They need your fire and intensity to spark up their lives.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

That wall you’ve been banging your head on? Yeah, it’s finally going to fall apart. In fact it’s going to explode outward and reveal a door. This door is going to open up a world of opportunity for you, so you’d better be ready to seize it. But also be aware that others might have a hard time with your success and want you to feel their lack of it, the pain they’ve experienced because things haven’t quite worked out for them yet. Respond to this energy with compassion, but also with the light that is your new vision, your door of opportunity. Don’t let others drag you back to stagnation or trick you into not believing in yourself. You have paid your dues, you are building off of the mistakes you have made, and you are creating success. Inspire others to do the same.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Either embrace your laziness, or get off your butt and do what needs to be done. If you don’t you’re going to be wracked by guilt and stressed to the max. Focus on creating an energy field around your body, one that does not allow the drama and emotions of others to shake your course. It might help you to acknowledge that part of the reason the laziness sets in is the fact that you feel pulled in too many directions, too responsible for too many people and things, and you are overwhelmed. You don’t want to deal with it, but you think you have to. So you rebel and do anything but what you are supposed to do. But harmony will not find its way into your life through this kind of toxic dynamic. Own the guilt, house the anger you feel about it, pick apart every little think that makes you feel guilty, and chew on this information until you understand that responsibilities are just a part of life and you can breathe through them and find balance with them.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

The wool is going to be lifted from your eyes, my friend. You have the help of your past lives; they are speaking to you, passing along their wisdom. I recommend that you listen. The ideas you’ve had about how to create money and success in your life are soon going to feel outdated and stale. You will see them for the naive notions that they were and you will begin to form a new template from which to work your magic. This is going to bring you a lot of joy. It will feel like you have moved past an obstacle that you didn’t know existed, but you kept banging your head against and then waking up wondering why you had a headache. Get ready for a time of excitement and a desire to celebrate what you have achieved, but remember to hold to your sense of morality. In other words, remember what matters so that while you celebrate you don’t unintentionally hurt your loved ones and cause pain later on.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Watch out for guilt that stems from success. A lot is going on for you over the next little while; you’ll be riding on a high that comes from connecting with your fellow human beings in a meaningful way and bursting out onto your own stage of becoming. But whenever this happens you convince yourself that you don’t deserve such things, so you unintentionally attract setback and failure into your life. Why don’t you just try letting everything be harmonious? Why consume yourself with guilt just because you’re being recognized for the beautiful person that you are and for the things that you have accomplished? Trust your intuition. It’s telling you to hunker down and focus on the task at hand. It’s telling you that you need to eliminate distractions and be a perfectionist. Nothing else matters. The return you long for will come once this task has been completed. It’s just that it requires all of your energy right now, especially if you want the following phase of your plan to fall into place with ease, prosperity, and joy.

Five things I want you to know about my Kickstarter campaign

Posted on February 22, 2015 by tamumiles

Hello Folks!

This video is a little update I would like to share with you. In it I describe “five things I would like you to know about my campaign.” I had fun creating it and I hope you have fun watching it. I’m starting to get the hang of this whole putting myself on video thing, I think. Although I never fail to get nervous. But this time I had the help of my sister, Ola, who was behind the camera and offered many great ideas and helped me to feel comfortable.

This video was created on Friday, Feb. 20, when there were 20 days left in my campaign, and now we’re down to 18. Time flies, I tell you. So please spread the word: share this video! Your shares and likes on Facebook and Twitter are worth gold to me. They lift my heart and help to refresh my determination to keep on track with my goal of writing and publishing this book.

Shooting for the Stars!

Local author to give reading of upcoming science fiction/fantasy novel

Dear Kickstarter community, family and friends,

I would like to invite you to a reading of my upcoming science fiction/fantasy novel upstairs at the Longwood Pub, 5775 Turner Road, Nanaimo B.C., on Monday, March 9, 2015, from 5 p.m.-7 p.m.!

Hello, my name is Tamu Miles, and I am a freelance journalist, writer, and author who lives with her husband and daughter in Lake Cowichan, B.C.

I am Shooting for the Stars as I work to complete my first science fiction/fantasy novel! In this yet-to-be-titled work, the 12 main characters are each an incarnation of one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. This is an idea that formed while writing a bi-weekly horoscope column over the last six years (see my Navigating the Stars Horoscope Blog).

The Shooting for the Stars party on March 9, is to let people know about my project and have some fun at the same time. It will include a reading of the novel, a chance for participants to help me choose its title, door prizes, and a chance to view initial sketches of the characters by my daughter, and local artist, Jenna Rose. Event goers are also encouraged to dress up in whatever way they feel best represents their sign. I want people to have fun with this and be as outrageous or accurate as they want.

This Shooting for the Stars event has a second purpose, and that is to raise funds to help my husband support us while I finish the book, set to be editor ready by April of this year, and publisher ready by the end of 2015.

Seating is limited, so if you would like to attend, please email me at tamumiles@gmail.com, phone me at 250-749-6406, or let me know on my Facebook page at Facebook.com/tamu.miles.

My campaign runs until March 13, 2015, and as with all Kickstarter campaigns, I will only see the funding if I reach my goal of $2,500. Any and all help is much appreciated!

I am super excited about this project. It has been seven years in the making and has seen many transformations in terms of characters and setting, but never in terms of underlying plot.

Novel synopsis:

The novel takes place on a planet called Pleione, located in the Pleiades Cluster. The story follows Aiyana (princess of the Gitanyow and one of the twelve main characters who are bodied incarnations of the twelve signs of the zodiac) as she struggles to own and then fulfill her destiny. The queen of the Atlanteans will do anything in her power to stop Aiyana as the princess races to complete her task to open dormant genetic traits that will ultimately link the planet, its animal species, and its human populations, pushing them to the next step along the path of evolution and beginning a process that shatters the peoples’ concept of reality and propels Pleione and her sister planet, Earth, along a path of no-return.

I plan to self-publish, and I hope that the final product will contain fun things like maps of Pleione and its many cities and inhabitants—including the land of the elves and the underwater world of the sea dragons and their riders—as well as illustrations of the characters themselves. Illustrations and any artwork will be done by my talented daughter, Jenna Rose. Eventually I will also offer fun merchandise such as t-shirts and horoscope greeting cards.

This will be the first of three novels. The series will take readers across the galaxy and back home to Earth where they will be able to follow a new set of characters on a quest of epic proportions as they change what it means to be human in the Milky Way Galaxy, forever.

I would love to see you at my Shooting for the Stars event and would appreciate your help in getting the word out to your community.

Horoscopes – Feb. 13 to Feb. 27, 2015

Posted on February 13, 2015 by tamumiles

Cleanse the heart and mind with winter rains.

All Signs

Well, now that we’re out of Mercury Retrograde, we call all breathe a sigh of relief. But not just because we won’t have to deal with opposing forces within us and in our external world, things messing up, communication going haywire, and having to face our own little demons, but because we will also have a push of universal energy on our side.

Expect to feel inspired, to see your world as a large canvas, upon which you have a multitude of possibilities. Expect to have the energy to start putting some of these possibilities into action, to want to open the doors and step through them with gusto and determination. Those who oppose your choices, or your path, will only fuel your fire and bring you strength. Those who think that you’re jumping too fast, or who want you to revert to the old ways of doing things, will only make you want to fight for the magic you can see on the horizon. Allow yourself to think big, to dismiss the impracticalities and the road blocks and just go for it. Your actions will build momentum and will begin to create the return that you need at this time.

An outgoing and friendly attitude will attract people who can help you achieve your goals. Don’t hide behind your fears and insecurities, don’t hermit on the couch and feel sorry for yourself, get out there and talk about who you are, what you are doing, and consciously ask for help and invite people into your sphere.

We can’t be all and everything. We can’t accomplish our goals on your own. Sometimes we need to ask for help, and we also need to learn how to be organized and deliberate with our everyday actions and the steps that we take toward our goals. Therefore, utilize the talents of others and allow them to utilize yours.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You’re really in the Valentine’s Day mode, dear Aries. Feeling like love is in the air? Want to get down and groovy with your lover? Need connection and communication more than you usually do? Do you want to tear off the masks and bare your soul? I know you do. So follow that feeling, my friend. Really sink in to that mojo that’s stirring in your loins. Show your significant other, your family and friends, just how much you love them, because this heart expression you’ve got going on isn’t just about sex and romance, it’s also about tapping into the essence of what love means to you. Your soul or Source Self is changing the logic you use to determine your love for someone. It is bringing about healing where love is concerned and showing you that you need to expand your interpretation of it. The wounding you’ve experienced in the past, in terms of your heart, wants to wash away so that you can start with a clean slate and allow for new and wonderful experiences.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Ok, so, whatever wall you’ve been banging your head on, it’s going to give way. Trust me. But more than that, it will explode outward and create a path for you to follow. Your life wants to be more harmonious, doesn’t it? In other words, you need things to start going your way? Well, it is going to happen. The underlying tension will leave your body, and the feeling that the world is against you will dissipate. Bringing in this balance will mean making a few sacrifices, though. You will need to put a few things on hold; they are simply not ready to happen right now. You are not ready, your life isn’t ready, and your family and friends are not ready. But that’s okay! Because in order to remove the control factors in your life, to lift the influence that a few others have over the direction of your life, you must learn the art of dancing in and out of the smaller plans that make up the grand plan. You must learn to detach yourself from what you think should happen so that change can take place and you can get closer to your goal. Clear as mud?

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Get ready for a reality check. Life isn’t going to feel all that kind over the next while, but if you remember one thing, remember this: Everything that is happening to you is happening for a reason. Don’t let go of that thought. Don’t get confused and wallow is self-pity. This is your learning-time. The world is going to show you what you really look like, and you’re not going to like everything you see. So sit hand-in-hand with your Source Self and pick through the pile of personalities and adopted cultural perceptions you have and throw away the ones that no longer serve you. Learn from the moment. Move around in the world with the assumption that everything has meaning. All you have to do is tap into that underlying meaning and have the integrity to deal with it from a whole and true state of being. And you might want to remember that you are loved. Securing yourself in that knowing will give you strength and sooth your heart.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Have patience with the fits and starts of things. Have patience with yourself. You can’t have the moon and the sun and everything in between all right now in this moment. Okay? You will achieve it, or your version of it, but you have some steps to take before you get there. I know this is frustrating, but take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the logic of it all. First off, you haven’t really decided what you want and what direction you’re heading in, so your intent is not in complete alignment with your head and your heart. Second, the image you have in your head about what your dream looks like is a little off the mark, it’s a little shadowed and skewed. At this time you’re learning how to align your intent, and how to hone your vision. Once you have been able to achieve this balance, you will be able to accomplish tasks and attain short-term goals with much more ease.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Not everything is flowing like it should and you can’t understand why you’re hitting walls no matter where you turn. The reason? You’ve got too many things going on, and some of them will have to be put on hold. It’s time to sit down and pick apart the details of your short-term plans and analyze their effectiveness when it comes to your long-term goals. Try to get out of your head and into your gut. Remember why you are doing what you are doing, and hold firm to your morals and values. Remember that being accountable is important to you, as is quality. Plus, there is no need to rush into things. There is time enough to make whatever it is that you are doing work, and work well. It would be a good idea to consciously protect yourself energetically. Recognize that you are vulnerable because you are delving inward to seek the truth about what you want and who you are in order to move forward in your life. Protecting yourself energetically will enable you to avoid feeling overwhelmed, pulled in too many directions, and will keep you from feeling like you’re going nuts.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You’ve got to slow down. There are too many things happening in your life and you’re finding it hard to keep up. Have you noticed this has started to affect your well-being? You’re tired and worn out. The main contributing factor to this feeling, besides the fact that you’re juggling a million things, is the tight grip of control you have around your creative self or being. You are too worried about making mistakes. You are overly concerned with what you think others will think of you. The lesson right now is: Let go. Trust that there is a bigger story. Trust that no matter what you do, you are doing the right thing. Let your mind wander and give freedom to your creative impulses. Your subconscious mind wants to work with your conscious mind to create your unique kind of beauty. So whether your writing up a resume, a blog post, working on a proposal, or painting on a canvas, trust your instincts and stop doubting yourself.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Smile. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and appreciate all that you have in your life. Joy wants to fill you, joy and harmony. You need this. You need to feel light. You need to have a spring in your step and not a care in the world. So celebrate what feels good. Surrender to peace, ease, and tranquility. And whatever you’re passionate about, whatever wants to burst from your heart and will out into the world with a flourish of colour and texture and meaning, let it move. Let it be an adventure of trial and error, let it be a series of lessons that are learned through the act of play. Letting loose the passion that you feel, giving it expression in your life and honouring that it exists within you, will open more space for the harmony and joy you are so craving.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

That burden you’re carrying around, it looks pretty heavy. Do you think you’re ready to set it down? To let it go? If you are, you’ll have to let the light of your own beauty touch upon the deep dark that has been haunting you. Just do me one favour, give yourself the benefit of the doubt for just two days. Trust that you deserve love, affection, to be creatively inspired, and for others to value what you say and who you are. Trust that these things are already happening, if you just allow yourself to feel them. But you also have to trust that you are more than capable of dealing with the drama that others throw your way. The social, and thus narrow, values that others like to throw in your face. You know you’re going to be judged for setting down the burden you carry. Everyone and their dog is going to have an opinion about it. Right? But that’s not what matters, and you are able to deflect these opinions and judgements and carry on with your own unique song. You just have to be brave enough to sing it.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The best response you could have to the stress would be to realize that you are going to have to compromise on a few issues. There needs to be some give and take with those you love, it can’t always be your way all the time. Focus on taking care of your home, your body, your family. Putter in the garden, do a spring cleaning of your kitchen and bathroom, and spend some time reading on the couch. Dispel negative and over analytical thoughts by opening your perception to every angle of the situation at hand and the bigger picture of your life. Use this state to find compassion for the other and see their point of view. You might just find that the stress goes away because you’ve experienced evidence that things only get better when you co-create with friends and loved ones.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You’re very clear these days about what you aspire to, what drives you beneath everything you do and everything you are. But even though this is true, things aren’t going how they were supposed to. There seems to be a lot of drama or red tape you have to deal with and work around. You think you see a path to take, but when you start in its direction something happens to get in your way. To deal with this, you really need to get into your Jedi Master mode. Be objective, be analytical of yourself, really push for what is right and be aware and pre-emptive about what is wrong, for you and you alone. Be careful about the amount of distraction you surround yourself with. This is part of your overall problem when it comes to staying focussed and achieving what you dream. You need to create some inner silence in order to really hear what your Self is trying to tell you.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Life feels very full and beautiful right now. You want to celebrate this beauty with others. To show them how easy it is to just go with the flow and be fulfilled because life is just waiting for us. Utilize and harness this feeling. And I know is sounds crazy and counter-intuitive, but use it to turn your eye inward. Really analyze why you are on such a high right now, why everything feels so good. It’s not that it’s a bad thing, it’s just that there’s more going on than you currently realize. This high occurred because you already began looking inward; something triggered you into self-reflection. You were thinking about your past and how you have become who you are now and a bunch of conflicting and crazy-making emotions surged up inside. It is only logical that these emotions are going to continue to seek a way to be expressed and healed, so try your best to have compassion for yourself and to remember what you know about beauty and the moment; about the ecstasy of life, and allow these emotions to run their course so you can move on.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Draw from your inner strength and use your smarts. Observe how others navigate through life and achieve their goals and use that information to be more in control of your own reality. Don’t give in to the temptation to tire out or procrastinate. You have many allies, people that love you. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to find ways that you can co-create with these people. Your goals will be greatly furthered by this kind of interaction and magic will be able to come into your life. And drawing on your inner strength and owning how strong your intent is, how brightly your will shines, will enable you to see that you will be more effective if you cut back on the amount of projects and goals you currently have on your plate.
