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

Photo by Tamu MilesAll 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.

And I hope you join me for the event detailed below! Even if you are not able to donate, just showing up and showing your support will fill my heart with joy. I plan on having some fun, and I hope you will too. See you there!

Go to my Kickstarter campaign page to learn more.

Cheers,

Tamu

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.

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.

Kickstarter campaign and new horoscopes

Posted on February 12, 2015 by tamumiles

Hello loyal followers!

I’m excited to announce that my Kickstarter campaign is up and running. You can view it, the little video I’ve created, and my very first update here.

Let me know what you think! And please don’t hesitate to share this little endeavour with family and friends on your social media networks. Your help is much appreciated.

(If you have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s the gist: I have launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the writing of my debut science fiction/fantasy novel that I aim to have published in the summer of 2016.)

Also, there will be a fresh batch of horoscopes posted tomorrow, probably in the evening, so I hope you check back to see what’s happening with your sign. Your sign is being written into my debut science fiction/fantasy novel, so by next year you’ll not only be able to tune into the frequencies of your galactic self, but you’ll also be able to see what happens to your character as they participate in an epic adventure on a planet called Pleione in the Pleiades Cluster. Cool, eh?

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

Tamu

Horoscopes – Jan. 30 to Feb. 13

Posted on February 1, 2015 by tamumiles

All Signs

Each of us, in our own way, has been asking for healing to take place. We’ve been praying to the universe, to ourselves, to the earth—or whatever energetic resonance that fills us with purpose—to wash away our pain and suffering. Even if you don’t think this is so, if you think that life is pretty good for you right now and that you have already faced your demons, look a little closer. I dare you. We all need the traumas from our past to have less hold over our today. Each of us is trying to make choices that are healthier and more in alignment with our dreams.  We are trying to be stronger and more balanced. But we feel that we can’t move forward with the weight of this pain from the past bearing down on us.

Well, our prayers and intentions are being answered. The universe is trying to respond. However, it won’t be easy and it will take courage. In order for the healing to be effective we will have to be real about what we want, who we are, where we are going, and what we have done, or are doing to others, that may have caused them pain. These things, whether positive or negative, will have to be addressed and dealt with. There is no free ride, no “get out of jail free” card. But if we face these truths, if we intend purity and transparency of Self, we will be rewarded with a grounded self-assuredness that enables us to bring more peace, harmony, and focus into our lives.

So look closely, my friends. Take a magnifying glass to your being and to your life. Be self-critical and honest because this is about your future and what you want. If you have not already embarked upon the path that will take you to your dreams, then you better start shining your light and working as hard as you can to get to it.

Stop making excuses. Stop stumbling around and pretending that you don’t know what you want or where you’re going. Stop hiding so that others can’t quite see who you are. And stop speaking half-truths that only leave you feeling resentful and diminished as a Self.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Over the next couple of weeks you will find yourself picking apart and analyzing every aspect of your life. Inner reflection will be the order of the day, and you will find comfort in solitude. Your thoughts will narrow themselves down, they will focus on the micro, and you might get a little frustrated and wonder why you are not able to lift your head and look at the big picture. Be patient. You aren’t doing anything wrong, nor are you wasting your time. This analytical approach to your path, to your intentions, to the practical steps of your everyday is required and part of the natural movement of your being at this time. What’s really going on, what you will find at the end of this inner journey, is clarity of vision. Your ideas about how to go about accomplishing your goals will no longer be covered by the gauzy glow of fantasy, but will be grounded in practicality. An added bonus will be that you will have a better idea of how to protect yourself from the world, and its many temptations, and stay focussed and on your path.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

This phase of your life is called: How to Feel Everything. Your soul and subconscious will be running you through the entire gamut of your emotions. Expect to be both high and low. It’ll be hard for you to get out of the tumultuous thoughts in your head and feelings in your heart to see things clearly. You’ll likely feel as though the world is against you. You’ll want to express your anger at the injustices you see. And you’ll be inclined to give up when the going gets tough. On the high-side, you’ll have moments of extreme playfulness, perhaps feeling giddy or elated for no apparent reason. You’ll see the beauty in life, the value in pursuing your dreams, and all that positive jazz. To the outside world, to those you love, you’ll seem a little off balance and chaotic. But you might not have a clue what they’re talking about. But that’s okay, because all you really need to know is that you’re learning how to turn disadvantage into advantage. You are learning how to turn a loss into a win, how to make the negative positive. So when the shit really hits the fan I encourage you to celebrate and in your own way dance the vibration of the experience to a higher level. Refuse to give up and be defeated. You will be teaching others a valuable lesson in the process.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Get ready for a cathartic release. Get ready to feel refreshed, invigorated and ready for change, so embrace it. You are releasing sorrow and pain and this process is in sync with the flowering, blossoming energy you feel bursting up through your heart. Let go of the past and allow yourself to move on to the future. You can achieve great things over the next while. So set your sights high and go toward anything that exhilarates you. Don’t close yourself off from change, as doing so will cause things to crumble and fall apart. The funny thing is that this change is really about owning the part of you that just wants an ordinary life. You want the white picket fence. You want the daily routine. You want to grow old with someone. Depending on your current situation, this means that you will either have to move on, or work with your partner to bring some normalcy back into your life so that you can realize these goals. Just make sure that your partner is on board with all of this. No more one-sidedness, ok?

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Your focus is going to sharpen drastically. In fact the intensity of it might take you by surprise. Through the act of play, of feeling playful, and bringing that energy into your work/career life, you have discovered a new goal or vision. In other words, you know what you want now. There is no sitting on the fence and wondering if what you are doing is correct. You know it is and you can’t be swayed from that knowing. All this means is that you are going to want to bust into an activity mode, and woe be the person who gets in your way. However, if they are willing to play with you, you will welcome them with open arms and a ton of enthusiasm. Draw upon your entire being, your whole self, when looking to achieve your goals. You have a vast reservoir of talents and personalities that can serve you in problem solving and creative endeavours. Let them loose with conscious awareness. This will allow you to be strategic in the application of your Selves.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Wow, Leo! You have a lot of energy on your side! There are guardian angels in abundance, the selves of lifetimes past are dancing around you, and the breath of the universe is flowing through you. Expect to meet new people and that these people will trigger open new knowings about your life and where you want to be and go. Expect interesting and magical opportunities to spring out of nowhere. And expect help from those who love and care about you. Needless to say, you’ll be able to accomplish a lot over the next while if you stay alert and aware. Be deliberate in your actions. Hold tight to your integrity. Success will come from moving with integrity in your decision-making. Be balanced in all things, but don’t get caught up in being too rigid or inflexible. Really push for what you want, what you have been working toward. Now is the time to actualize many things that have had to sit on the back burner. Take action, be forward thinking, and jump on the opportunities that come your way.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You are passionate about everything these days. You want to soak up all of the beauty in the world and inspire others with the overflowing feel-good feeling of your heart. But this passion flows two ways and you will be quick anger as much as you are quick to love. So what’s going on with this intense energy? A kind of re-birth. You are redefining yourself, shrugging off the old you and embracing the new, and the new you wants the most out of life and will settle for nothing less. You want to charge out there and be something totally different. This is good! You mustn’t let anyone tell you that you are wrong or that your actions are immature. There will be those that think you’re making the wrong choices and they will accuse you of not taking things seriously. You have to remind them that you do take your life very seriously, thus the importance of the change that is taking place. You know what you want, and you are going to go after it. And what you want includes deep caring, heartfelt connection, and co-creation.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Usually we think of synergistic events as those that take place because of our interaction with the outside world, and usually this is the case. However, you’re an exception to the rule right now. For you, synergy will take place through acts of being alone and through a quiet listening to the world as it is filtered through your being. Alone-time is important because you’re struggling a little when it comes to matters of the heart. You desire something you think you don’t deserve but that everyone seems to have. You feel lonely (even if you’re in a relationship) and you want your beloved to shower you with affection. But because this isn’t happening to your satisfaction you feel exhausted. It takes a lot of energy to focus on getting attention day-in and day-out, energy that could be focussed elsewhere. Your task is to let it go. Doing so will mean that you’ll have to wait for the intimacy you crave, but when it arrives it will be more meaningful because you have waited. For now, focus on the synergistic energy from the universe that wants to move through your being and find the beloved within yourself.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

The best way to deal with difficult people—those who deliberately misunderstand you, who ignore you or exclude you, who use you or try to abuse you—is to respond with purity. Let the scorpion in you have full reign. You’ve done enough bending over backward, trying to be the good guy, and giving others second chances. If you don’t hold anything back, if you take off the masks and bare your true feelings to the world—your true wants and desires—others will be forced to face the truth about how they have treated you. Therefore, they will really see you and respect you. They will see your talents and gifts, and they will be forced to take responsibility for their actions. In other news, be careful with your finances. Don’t go spending money you don’t have on things you don’t need. And even if you feel like being generous to others, now is not the time. You need to focus on the minute details of your spending habits, bills, and fiscal forecast. Prepare for the future with intent, whatever your goals are.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

There are those who would like you to stop messing around and just play by the rules. These people get uncomfortable when you colour outside the lines of life, so to speak. But pay them no mind. You must act from your own sense of integrity. Keep true to the core of your being and what you know is right for you and your loved ones, and don’t bother yourself with the beliefs and judgements of others. If you are able to act from your integrity, others will trust you more and will follow your lead without question. You need this kind of loyalty in your life right now, and the reason for its absence has been that you tend to fold under the pressure of judgement and have not learned to trust your own gut. So summon the courage to let your brilliance shine. You are not just another face in the crowd, you are unique and beautiful, and your knowing about what is right and wrong for you and how things “should” be done, is just as valid and important as anyone else’s.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You asked for an adventure, and an adventure is what you’re going to get. Be ready for change, be ready for play, and be ready to embark out into the unknown. But as you do so, make sure that you set your intent. Keep an eye on your long-term goals. For the adventure that you embark upon has the potential to be extremely fulfilling in terms of these goals, if you allow it. Really think about what you want in this world: what you want in terms of career, in terms of a partner, in terms of where you live, and who your friends are. Be clear with these intentions and knowings so that they can be reflected back to you without distortion or the potential for disappointment. In other words, before you begin your adventure you need to make sure that you have properly packed your bags. The contents of your luggage need to be thought through and properly organized. Make sure you have what you need for the journey, as well as the items that will prepare you for when you reach your destination.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

There are a multitude of possibilities out there for you over the next while, and there are just as many opportunities for things to fail. It’s like you’re a double positive magnet with the ability to attract a balance of awesome and awful. So how should you respond? Listen to your inner voice. Don’t let others tell you what they think you “should” do, don’t let your head confuse you by over analyzing things, and don’t get lost in thinking that one way or another is “the” way to go. If your gut says yes, then follow it. If it says no, back away and take a different path. Some of the possibilities that are coming your way will just be red herrings, meant as a test from your soul and from the universe. It’s your job to figure out which ones are the right ones to jump on. It doesn’t matter that you can’t see a larger plan or know how all of this will affect your future, you’ve simply got to trust that this is the right process in this now.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

You’re still in a process of letting those things that no longer serve you, fall away. A healing is taking place, one in which you are able to let go of the fear that has gripped you and kept you stagnant or immobile in your current endeavours. In order to bust through this fear, you will have to allow a death to take place. You will have to do some inner searching and really explore what it is that you have to offer the world. What do you want to say? What do you want to do? Stop comparing yourself to others and hiding behind thoughts that tell you that you are not worthy. If you can do this, if you can own your self-worth and house it in your body with strength and integrity, the creative inspiration that will fill you will be powerful and immediate. So open to the healing and let the universe apply its salve upon your heart. Let go of the fear that keeps holding you in its chains, of anything and anyone that is not contributing to your happiness, your dreams, and your goals.
