Are you a Capricorn...or an Aquarius? A Taurus...or a Gemini? A Cancer...or a Leo?
Now, if you are into astrology, you are looking at those above either/or scenarios and thinking I have gone crazy. No two signs could be more different than those pairs above. So, you can only imagine how confused those special cusps (ah yes, you remember this slang of mine?) must feel!
I can't tell you how many people ask me "What does it mean to be a cusp sign?" and "How is a cusp so different from the two signs it is stuck between?" and, of course, "Which signs are most compatible with cusps and/or MY cusp?"
All very good questions. And since I am tired of listening to them over and over again, I thought I would take some opportunities to clear this foggy air. Sure, I am only scratching the surface. If you have more questions...go to a library. Check out a book on astrology and cusps. You ask too many questions!!! Just kidding of course...I suggest going to a book store, that way you can BUY the book and keep referring back to it instead of asking me again.
OK, so here goes.
As we discussed in the last blog, a cusp is literally stuck in between two very different signs. Let's do a quick review.
You are stuck in between an Earth and an Air Sign if you are born in any of these date ranges:
January 18-22 (Capricorn and Aquarius)
May 19-23 (Taurus and Gemini)
September 19-24 (Virgo and Libra)
You are stuck between a Fire and an Earth Sign if you are born in any of these date ranges:
April 19-23 (Aries and Taurus)
August 19-24 (Leo and Virgo)
December 19-23 (Sagittarius and Capricorn)
You are stuck between an Air and a Water Sign if you are born in any of these date ranges:
February 18-23 (Aquarius and Pisces)
June 19-23 (Gemini and Cancer)
October 19-23 (Libra and Scorpio)
You are stuck between a Water and a Fire Sign if you are born in any of these date ranges:
March 19-23 (Pisces and Aries)
July 19-23 (Cancer and Leo)
November 19-22 (Scorpio and Sagittarius)
So what does this all mean if your birthday falls in any of those ranges listed above? It means you play for BOTH teams, even though you find yourself enjoying one more than the other. And that's OK. There also may be some of you out there who, albeit on a cusp, don't like flip-flopping and stick with just one side. And that's OK too (note: this is a rare individual). Either way, as I mentioned in my last blog, you are a special sign. You have a blend of two opposing forces, which allows you to expand your horizons, likes/dislikes, and personalities.
It also bodes well in dating. You can pretty much date ANY sign you wish seeing as you have a blend of two opposing elements, thereby attracting all signs to you. And, luckily, most cusps end up together. That's a TON of fun!
But let's get into the nitty gritty, ok? Let's talk personality and specific best matches.
Capricorn/Aquarius(born January 18-22):
This cusp is stuck in between practical, resourceful, money-saving and conservative Capricorn and the quirky, outgoing, out-of-the-box, spending-crazy Aquarius. Tough indeed! People on this cusp love politics, debates and power. They are often in positions where they can voice their opinions freely and not be slandered for sounding harsh or mean. This cusp doesn't care much about what other people think of them because they march to their own beat. They work hard, play hard, and while they may spend a lot of money, they know how to earn it too. Best Matches: Taurus/Gemini Cusp, Virgo/Libra Cusp.
Aquarius/Pisces(born February 18-22):
This cusp is stuck between outgoing, unemotional and loud Aquarius with the softer, more sensitive, emotional and tempermental Pisces. They are often confused about who they are, what they want, and how to be happy. Prone to addictions and to insecurities, this Cusp has to harness their own power and learn not to be so wishy-washy or concerned with what other people think. They also need to make sure that in trying not to be so defensive about their actions (of which they are already questioning and wondering if they did the right thing), they don't come off as harsh and mean (or worse yet, selfish!). The good news? They can be extremely warm and affectionate when they want to be. Best Matches: Gemini/Cancer Cusp, Libra/Scorpio Cusp.
Pisces/Aries(born March 19-23):
This cusp is stuck between idealistic, wishy-washy, introspective Pisces and bold, driven and materialistic Aries. They are often focused on security, power and their struggle between being too bold and too soft. Their cusp is torn between action and inaction, thinking vs. doing, believing vs. seeing. People born during these dates tend to be very focused on their careers and moving up the career/social ladder in life. They hate to fail and internalize all their worries and insecurities. While they come off as quiet, sometimes even demure, don't be fooled- they can be quite the powerhouse! Best Matches: Leo/Virgo Cusp, Scorpio/Sagittarius Cusp.
Aries/Taurus (born April 19-23):
This cusp is stuck between powerful, dominant, bold and materialistic Aries and stubborn, resilient, soulful and attention-hungry Taurus. People born on this cusp are well known for being stubborn, sometimes harsh, and display a true dichotomy between strong and insecure, needy and independent, stubborn and even MORE stubborn. They are quite dogmatic about their beliefs and refuse to back down from their convictions. While this can be a good thing, it can also be their weakest point as compromise may not be in their vocabulary. Best Matches: Sagittarius/Capricorn Cusp, Leo/Virgo Cusp.
Taurus/Gemini (born May 19-23):
This cusp is stuck between stubborn, practical, introspective Taurus and fickle, optimistic and outgoing Gemini. People born on this cusp struggle between their private and personal life conflict, i.e. who they really are versus what they show the world. This Cusp struggles with being indecisive/fickle vs. being stubborn/unyielding, thinking realistically vs. being idealistic. The great news is that when stuck between such a practical sign and such an outgoing/optimistic sign, people born on this Cusp can be completely amusing to watch. Their behaviors may change easily and they are always willing to entertain, philosophize and listen (not to mention TALK). They are blunt in a harmless way and are always on hand with an opinion. Best Matches: Virgo/Libra Cusp, Aquarius/Pisces Cusp, Capricorn/Aquarius Cusp.
Gemini/Cancer (born June 20-23):
This Cusp is stuck between childlike, fickle and extroverted Gemini with emotional, sensitive, and introverted Cancer. People on this cusp are often confused with who they are and can either dread public appearances and lifestyles, or thrive on the attention of others. They can be emotionally unbalanced and insecure because they really are stuck between not caring at all about what other people think (Gemini) and caring so much they could cry if someone looks at them the wrong way (Cancer). They ARE very good at communicating and being expressive; after all, their introspective Cancer self will love being at home writing in their diary while the chatterbox Gemini determines how to make it sound like a best-selling novel. Best Matches: Libra/Scorpio Cusp, Aquarius/Pisces Cusp.
Cancer/Leo (born July 19-23):
This cusp is stuck between sensitive, emotional and introverted Cancer and proud, dominating and sexual Leo. People on this cusp struggle with being introverted and meek with being outgoing and demanding. It is kind of like the lamb versus the lion theory. Which would you rather be? Emotional instabilities and a strong need for attention are predominant characteristics for this Cusp. They love compliments and flattery, but they blush a little too hard when they get it. Same goes for criticism (hint: they don't handle that too well). Best Matches: Scorpio/Sagittarius Cusp, Pisces/Aries Cusp.
Leo/Virgo (born August 19-24):
People born on this cusp struggle between pride, domination, power and charismatic sex appeal versus being introverted, withdrawn, logical and insecure. Coming out of the powerful Leo sign, which is no stranger to sexuality, boldness of thought and character, and into Virgo, which questions, analyzes and thinks too much before ever spurring into action, makes people born on this cusp quite interesting indeed. They are often smart, charismatic and appealing...but sometimes get in trouble for what they say and how they say it (notably because they are torn between their blunt Leo attitude with their critical Virgo self). Those who can harness both sides of their personality can be quite the powerhouse and are often apt to get whatever it is they want. Best Matches: Aries/Taurus Cusp, Sagittarius Capricorn Cusp.
Virgo/Libra (born September 19-24):
This Cusp is torn between the practical, critical, over-analyzing Virgo with the talkative, flirtatious and crazy Libra. The great news is that those on this cusp are empowered by the overwhelming need for aesthetic beauty, harmony, purity and balance that both Virgo AND Libra strive to achieve, maintain or find in their lives. People born on this sign tend to be quite attractive, witty, funny and charismatic. The light attitude of the Libra, who is motivated by love and peace, with the more serious attitude of the Virgo, who is motivated by the pursuit of perfection, can make this Cusp sign incredibly balanced, happy and lucky. Best Matches: Taurus/Gemini Cusp, Capricorn/Aquarius Cusp.
Libra/Scorpio (born October 19-23):
Those born on this Cusp are torn between the need for harmony, balance and happiness in this easy-go-lucky Libra world with the more intense, mysterious and moody Scorpio. They struggle between keeping things "light" and fun versus getting knee-deep in mud and figuring out why people are the way they are, why things work a certain way, and which religious dogma is more accurate than the other. People born on this cusp are drawn to religion, law and justice. They feel passionately and are bent on finding the truth in a situation or getting to the bottom of the story. Best Matches: Gemini/Cancer Cusp, Aquarius/Pisces Cusp.
Scorpio/Sagittarius (born November 19-22):
People born on this Cusp struggle between the powerfully quiet, introspective and mysterious nature of the Scorpio with the outgoing, adventurous, blunt and freedom loving Sagittarius. They tend to struggle between saying what is on their mind and keeping things to themselves. Great at understanding people's personalities right off the bat, this Cusp can wield a lot of power and influence over others. They come off as contained, put together and aloof, but once you get to know them, they are quite opinionated, headstrong and passionate. They hate rules and bosses; being independent and in charge is a natural comfort zone for this cusp. Best Matches: Taurus/Gemini Cusp, Pisces/Aries Cusp, Cancer/Leo Cusp.
Sagittarius/Capricorn (born December 19-23):
Those born on this cusp struggle between the blunt, out-going and adventurous Sagittarius personality with the more conservative, traditional and unemotional Capricorn. Since both signs love their food, love to travel and love money/success, they are apt to be quite concerned with their career and financial status. HOW to become successful is their biggest struggle. They are torn between Sag's need to be entertaining and thrill-seeking and the Cap's need to follow the rules and be socially acceptable and lawful. All they want is to feel as if they fit in...and moe often than not, they feel they don't. This cusp is never at a loss for words or being blunt; nor are they at a loss as to where to find the nearest bar. Since both Sag's and Cap's need to watch out for addictions (notably drugs, alcohol and sex), those born on this cusp need to be mindful of their weaknesses. Best Matches: Aries/Taurus Cusp, Gemini/Cancer Cusp, Leo/Virgo Cusp.

The PISCES 4-1-1
Element: Water
Ruling Planet: Neptune, Jupiter
Quality: Mutable
Nature: Negative, Feminine
Symbol: Fish
Health Alert: Pisces rule the feet and its structural bones and toes. They must be careful with sprains, stubbed toes, ankle issues, bunions, or broken bones. Since many Pisces are avid runners, dancers or sports-enthusiasts, they need to learn to guard their feet to avoid permanent damage or invasive surgery. Internally, Pisces rule the lymphatic system. They must take caution when it comes to internal inflammation, gland functions in general, and problems with drugs. Allergic reactions to drugs, and a susceptibility to addictions, can become a serious issue for Pisces, who use drugs and alcohol to escape reality or numb themselves from their intense emotions. These said emotions can cause Pisces to struggle with depression and psychosomatic illnesses more often than not. Most of their health issues stem from emotional distress, and as such, they tend to have a weak immune system to fight off colds, flu, sinus infections, or other illnesses. Therapeutic ways of avoiding addictive tendencies and reducing stress on the body would be yoga or Pilates, which most Pisces love because it helps them to feel spiritually aligned as well. Last but not least, Pisces tend to indulge in expensive tastes when it comes to rich foods. They should be wary of excessive drinking and eating, especially late night. Their bodies have a delicate system and their metabolism is a bit weaker than most.
Where to Find a Pisces: performing on-stage, whether it be a dance production, musical collaboration, or play. They are heavily involved in the arts, so when they aren’t on stage, they can likely be found working late hours in an art or dance studio, reading in a bookstore, rehearsing their lines with a cast mate, cooking in a restaurant, or attending a lecture on religion or philosophy. You may also find a lot of Pisces working in marketing or graphic design firms, as they get to apply their artistic skills in a corporate environment. You can also find them near water (ocean, lake, etc) meditating or just watching the scenery while writing down their latest poem or chapter in their novel. Most Pisceans are involved in charity work and the Church, so an easy target would be to go to a worship service or sign up for volunteer work in your area (animal shelters, soup kitchens, mentoring programs, campaign fundraising, etc). New Age workshops, readings, or events is a prime target for the typical Pisces, who is very in-tune with alternative lifestyles. This said lifestyle leads them to organic food markets and grocery stores, too. If all else fails, you are guaranteed to find a Pisces in a yoga or Pilates studio (and probably, they are teaching the class!).
How to Spot a Pisces: they are fairly easy to spot because they tend to stand out like a sore thumb in a crowd. Many of them have light eyes that are soft and soulful, which they use to analyze the environment around them. They won’t be the loud person in the room always talking. In fact, they will be the quiet one you have to draw out of their shell. Once they are drawn out, they can be quite witty and charming, surprising most people. A hearty laugh that throws their head back, and frequent movements of their head is also a noticeable trait (that “huh? me?” what?” movement). It’s almost as if they look like someone has splashed water on their face. Their faces, and facial movements, are quite expressive when they become animated—otherwise, they can look like a deer in headlights most of the time. They may wave their arms around when they talk as well, almost as if they are dancing or giving a grand speech in their head at the same time that they are sitting down and talking to you about their day. The women are drawn to floral prints and very feminine pieces (sheer fabrics, summer dresses, scarves, subdued prints, etc) that allow them to move easily and comfortably. The less glamorous Pisces woman will wear jeans and a fleece jacket or t-shirt all the time (and some kind of creative addition, like a scarf around their head, a cool/different piece of jewelry, or a fun headband) or have a more hippy look (flowing printed dresses an earth tones), and the more glamorous will have no problem decking herself out in jewels, a fur coat, and a plunging neckline showing her curvy figure (think of Elizabeth Taylor when she was young). She uses her clothes to define herself as either a sexy siren or a natural beauty. The men love wearing blues and greens, and will often be in khakis or some other relaxed-wear. In business, they are always in sharp suits and have impeccable taste. They like to look good—it helps them charm the women more so that they can get what they want!
How to Attract a Pisces: have a kind heart, an interest in the arts and in their passion for the arts, and be attractive. Pisces are very visual and don’t like things that look messy or in disarray—it throws them off balance. If you are a good soul, with a strong will, they will fall madly in love with you. Typically, a Pisces is first attracted sexually, but will wait to get to know you better before really falling in love (Do you have the same interests? Are you spiritual? Do you respect yourself? Are you a family person?). Ironically, even though Pisces are attracted to pretty people, they are turned off by materialistic ones. A Pisces man loves an attractive, feminine woman, but if she spends too much money on shoes, bags, or clothes, or expects that he spends his money on her, he is quickly turned off. He will view her motives as selfish, materialistic, and greedy. A Pisces woman is always looking for a man who is put together and successful. She needs to feel secure and taken care of, and a well dressed man with a good bank account is definitely the route to her heart, even if he can be slightly selfish or self-involved, she falls for his charms. The general rule of thumb, however, is just to be a good, nice person—someone that a Pisces considers to be honest, virtuous, and loyal. A wicked sense of humor will also help you. Many Pisces are in the entertainment industry, notably as comedians or actors, and love making people laugh. You should take to heart that Pisces have very volatile emotions, as well. This means they can be obsessed with you one moment, and disinterested in the next. Be willing to ride their emotional waves (and sometimes, tsunamis) if you want to spend a lifetime together.
How to Lose a Pisces: being more emotionally erratic than they are, loud, or pretentious, is a great way to get rid of your Pisces. They may hang in there for a while because they dig a little bit of the crazy (they are crazy too, after all), but they will quickly swim upstream after a short while. They loathe nasty behavior, ugly people, negative personalities, and irresponsible partners. Female Pisces are looking for a strong, alpha male to protect them; male Pisces are looking for a feminine, faithful and kind-hearted alpha female to nourish them. It’s really that simple. So, if you don’t fall within the lines, you simply don’t matter to a Pisces.

The PISCES Best & Worst List
Best Qualities: intuitive, nurturing and soulful, Pisces have a way about them that makes people drawn to them. Whether it is because they are mysterious, seem innocent, or make people feel coddled and needed, they are like Mother Nature radiating warmth and harmony. Romantic and charming, Pisces easily find partners in their life to fulfill their needs. Their creativity is limitless, whether they are a male or a female. Male Pisces tend to focus more on cooking or music, and are therefore often found running a kitchen or writing their own music and/or playing an instrument of their choice. Their girlfriends have swooned over their emotional sensitivity and way with words—especially when they put the words in a romantic poem or song while playing their guitar. Female Pisces are more apt to write (poems, short stories) or be an artist or dancer. They have a strong need to use their sense of touch and their free spirit in their creative endeavors and are not afraid to express themselves through dancing, painting, or singing. Regardless of their sex, Pisces are extremely expressive on paper and often live in a fantasy world. Their artistic inclinations just make them very different from the average Joe (or Jane). Their emotions are so strong and finely tuned that, when they become too overwhelming, they can turn them into something beautiful, if they so desire. Inclined to spirituality and New Age beliefs, Pisces is a sign that is typically psychic and somewhat mystical. As the oldest sign of the Zodiac that is also connected astrologically to Jesus Christ, they have profound wisdom and beliefs in a higher power. Many Pisces are strongly linked to churches and religious leaders, and/or are involved in charitable works, volunteering, holistic healing, or counseling.
Worst Qualities: Pisces live in a fantasy world that makes it seem as if they are oh-so-mysterious (people can’t help but wonder “what ARE they thinking about?”), but the reality is that they are so confused about how they feel that they very rarely can make a decision about which mood they are in or which direction to go. Indecisiveness is a big challenge for Pisces and can sometimes render them immutable and left whining and throwing a tantrum because they simply can’t decide between hot and cold, happy or sad, left or right. As fickle as a child, their decisions and actions are at the beck and call of their mood de jour. Making a commitment to a decision, feeling, or idea can be excruciating for them and they end up delegating the decision to someone else. Pisces say that they hate hurting someone’s feelings, but the truth is that many of them get a sadistic kick out of hurting the ones they love. They can be completely self-absorbed and self-centered, so it is hard for them to strike a fine balance between making a decision that is best for them while still making it seem as if they are putting other people’s feelings into consideration. Violent tempers, mood swings, possessive, and addictive personalities are very common to Pisces. Many are apt to deal with depression, jealousies, and feelings of inadequacy or unexplained sadness. Sometimes living in their own fantasy world with their head in the clouds makes the landing on Earth a crash and burn reality. Pisces need to learn to not transfer their own feelings of unhappiness or inadequacy onto their loved ones, or they may end up terribly alone. Also, when a Pisces has made up their mind, they can be incredibly loyal to that decision, which can be a heavy burden on those who don’t agree.
Best Matches: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio
Taurus thrives in the home and needs to feel protected, secure, and loved. Taurus, after all, is in love with the idea of love—wishing that the world is full of romance and sex. In comes Pisces, who, with a wave of a wand, can make all their dreams seem true. Both signs are also drawn to the intensity of touch and are very ethereal. They aren’t afraid to explore their sexuality together and see what happens in the bedroom. Spiritual conversations, intense emotional bonds, and a sense of comfort comes easily when these two signs are paired together. They will be best friends and lovers, which is, after all, the sweetest thing. Famous Couples: Javier Bardem (Pisces) and Penelope Cruz (Taurus), Cindy Crawford (Pisces) and Randy Gerber (Taurus), Eva Longoria (Pisces) and Tony Parker (Taurus), Liza Minnelli (Pisces) and David Gest (Taurus)
Virgo is Pisces perfect astrological opposite. This is to say that they can either be a great couple, or a horrible one. While Pisces may find making a decision hard, Virgo is more apt to say “this is what you do and how you do it.” And when both are stuck for a decision, the over-analytical Virgo and the dreamlike Pisces can sit together for hours arriving at the best decision and exploring all the pro’s and con’s of the situation. Virgo enjoys Pisces mystical and seemingly innocent (and slightly neurotic) side; Pisces delights in Virgo’s purity and strength. Virgo is always reliable when it comes to Pisces because a Virgo always feels the need to protect or nurture their wounded partner. However, Virgo can easily become annoyed with Pisces’ inconsistencies and inability to make decisions. Pisces can feel over-analyzed and criticized by Virgo. The truth is that both are at fault here by simply being who they are. Famous Couples: Cindy Crawford (Pisces) and Richard Gere (Virgo), Emily Blunt (Pisces) and Michael Buble (Virgo)
Capricorn’s drive, stamina, and discipline provide the backbone that the Pisces has always been searching for. Capricorns know how to get things done and get them done right, especially in business and finance. They seldom question their actions and just go for it, something which a Pisces can’t help but admire. Also, since Pisces tends to spend money a bit more recklessly, they benefit greatly by Capricorn’s shrewd financial planning and investment advice. So what does the Pisces bring to the table? Capricorns tend to be aloof and not evolved emotionally speaking—these goats can be a bit too harsh and cold while climbing to the top of that mountain. That’s where Pisces comes in, softening the rough edges of the Capricorn and calming them down, telling them when they are being inappropriate, mean, or too damn cold-hearted. Famous Couples: Penny Lancaster (Pisces) and Rod Stewart (Capricorn), Christine Baumgartner (Pisces) and Kevin Costner (Capricorn), Pat Nixon (Pisces) and Richard Nixon (Capricorn)
Cancer will feel at home in Pisces deep emotional waters; these two literally are as happy as a crab (Cancer) and a fish (Pisces) swimming together in the vast ocean. They are both emotional, sensitive and moody, and feel as if they have found their perfect soul mate in each other. Whether it is staying at home for a nice evening by candlelight, or reading a book in the corner of the living room while sipping on a nightcap, these two simply enjoy each other’s comforting presence. Cancer is a very witty and driven sign, as is Pisces, and together their conversations will flow smoothly and easily. More importantly, neither sign is afraid to call the other out on their BS, and knows when to leave well enough alone. Their union will be mystical, and their bond intensive and somewhat possessive, but that’s how they both roll when it comes to love. At the very least, both of them will be able to understand each other’s emotional volatility. Famous Couples: Kurt Cobain (Pisces) and Courtney Love (Cancer), Johnny Cash (Pisces) and June Carter Cash (Cancer), Vanessa Williams (Pisces) and Rick Fox (Cancer)
Scorpio’s more intense, sensual qualities invigorate Pisces to feel more sexual and sensual—these two will certainly have a romantically charged relationship where feelings and emotions seem very heightened and magnified. Both are very spiritual signs and will be drawn to an alternative lifestyle together and will judge each other rarely, and love each other permanently. They may not marry, but they will happily spend the rest of their lives together. Intellectual stimulation and friendship rules this couple first and foremost, but a healthy physical attraction is definitely there. They both sense what the other needs (for Scorpio, they need space and freedom, especially from judgment; for Pisces, they need attention, coddling, and adoration). Famous Couples: Kurt Russell (Pisces) and Goldie Hawn (Scorpio), Bruce Willis (Pisces) and Demi Moore (Scorpio), Michael Bolton (Pisces) and Nicollette Sheridan (Scorpio), Tom Arnold (Pisces) and Roseanne (Scorpio), Julia Cameron (Pisces) and Martin Scorsese (Scorpio), Elizabeth Taylor (Pisces) and Richard Burton (Scorpio), Alan Greenspan (Pisces) and Andrea Mitchell (Scorpio)
Worst Matches: Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Pisces
Gemini’s mercurial wit and personality certainly charms the Pisces, who is mesmerized by Gemini’s social persona. Both signs are mutable, meaning they are able to adapt to the energy or changes in a room/environment. Their flexibility will be essential in making this pair last. Pisces may want to cling or attach themselves to Gemini’s rollercoaster ride—and it may last for a short while. That is, until the Gemini is tired of being bored by Pisces’ sensitive or possessive nature, desire to stay home, or depressive/quiet moods. The only thing Pisces would love to chat about non-stop is the way they are feeling about a situation, which is probably the quickest way to lose a Gemini who can’t STAND to talk about their feelings all the time and would probably prefer talking to a wall instead. Pisces can be too unreliable and unstable for Gemini, who needs a partner who will ground them and their flighty twins. That being said, if a Gemini has been wounded in love before, and craves a nurturing and committed soul, a Pisces may just fit the bill. Famous Couples: Seal (Pisces/Aquarius cusp) and Heidi Klum (Gemini), Drew Barrymore (Pisces) and Justin Long (Gemini), Ivana Trump (Pisces) and Donald Trump (Gemini), Drew Barrymore (Pisces) and Fabrizio Moretti (Gemini), Callista Gingrich (Pisces) and Newt Gingrich (Gemini)
Sagittarius and Pisces, at some point, will find themselves together. It doesn’t normally last long, and it normally doesn’t end well, but nonetheless, it is a trap they often fall into. Sagittarius falls for Pisces unworldly and imaginative persona. They are so intriguing and ethereal, that the Sagittarius feels challenged to “capture” the Pisces. It is important to note that this pairing is more common when the man is the Sagittarius and the woman is the Pisces. The female Pisces will fall for the charming Sagittarius man who is adventurous, funny and goal-oriented. As she is typically weak on those traits, she feels incredibly drawn to this “foreign” energy and wants to be a part of it for a while. Likewise, the Sagittarius man is humbled by the emotional, sensitive, and creative Pisces woman—she seems so delicate and charming and perfect. That is, until she starts crying because she doesn’t have his attention, or when she complains he doesn’t love her or show his emotions enough. The Sag gets annoyed by the wishy-washy Pisces and her inability to make a decision. Angers flare and the Pisces woman throws a bucket of water over the enraged fiery Sagittarius…and then it is over. Famous Couples: Chris Webber (Pisces) and Tyra Banks (Sag)
Leo is sexual and shows love and emotions easily (and demands a lot of attention), so at the very least, a Pisces and a Leo will not worry about expressing their feelings accordingly. Since Leo likes being in charge and telling others what to do, and Pisces is looking to be told what to do, this pair can actually work. HOWEVER, Leo hates whining and hates being held back by emotionally weakness, such as manipulation, depression, or moodiness. And Pisces do that oh-so-well. As long as Leo can handle Pisces’ emotional persona, and Pisces won’t take Leo’s bossiness as a symbol of domination, they may find love together. At the very least, they will find great sex. Famous Couples: Justin Beiber (Pisces) and Selena Gomez (Leo/Cancer Cusp), Tea Leoni (Pisces) and David Duchovny (Leo), Elizabeth Taylor (Pisces) and Eddie Fisher (Leo), Desi Arnaz (Pisces) and Lucille Ball (Leo), Lauren Graham (Pisces) and Peter Krause (Leo)
Two Pisces together is a disaster. Too many emotions, too little motivation, and far too little direction, leaves these two a complete mess together. Pisces needs a more practical counterpart (or backbone) to make it in this world. Famous Couples: Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig
Surprisingly Good Matches: Aquarius, Aries, Libra
Aquarius has a natural humanitarian instinct, which appeals to the nurturing Pisces. Yet, these two can have a limited fuse for one another. Aquarius tends to be too unemotional or unstable for the sensitive Pisces. While the Aquarius wants to be out and about, socialize and meet new people, the Pisces hates crowds or social events and prefers to be a loner and either stay at home, or watch and observe the crowd. Pisces do better in a one-on-one capacity with someone they know, and nothing, NOTHING, is as boring to an Aquarian as someone who doesn’t know how to carry a conversation with a complete stranger. Aquarius also tends to be a hard worker and puts in long hours at the office, always focusing on making money or vast improvements in the world. While Pisces respects this, they tend to thrive more on balance. Where they will understand one another is in trying to help mankind improve itself. They may pursue it from different angles (Aquarius thinks big, whereas Pisces thinks on a smaller scale), but pursue it they will. Both signs are incredibly charming, so they can channel their flirtatious personas into a very sexy relationship IF they are willing to understand one another’s differences and realize the treasure they have found in one another. If Aquarius is smart enough to acknowledge how lucky they are to have a soulful Pisces in their life to calm them down, and if Pisces is willing to admit they need Aquarius to motivate them to be the best person they can be, then they wouldn’t be such a bad couple after all. They could be great, in fact. Famous Couples: Jessica Biel (Pisces) and Justin Timberlake (Aquarius), Rachel Weisz (Pisces) and Darren Aronofsky (Aquarius), Elizabeth Taylor (Pisces) and John Warner (Aquarius), Stedman Graham (Pisces) and Oprah Winfrey (Aquarius), Paul Newman (Aquarius) and Joanne Woodward (Pisces)
Aries can be very superficial and needs to be in the spotlight at all times. Since Pisces can be turned off by excessive material wealth, this can be a weird match. BUT, if the man is the Aries in this picture, and the female is a Pisces, then there is some hope. A female Pisces loves being taken care of and loves feeling rich, decked out in jewels, fur coats, and expensive décor. She almost has a childlike delight at feeling like the princess in her own fairytale world. The Aries man thrives in providing her all of these things, especially since she looks so great in them and she is so appreciative of these gifts. He provides her not only with material security, but also a sense of adventure. If she doesn’t get jealous of his flirtatious character, and he doesn’t get bothered by her clingy behavior, they can really work well together. Famous Couples: Freddie Prinze Jr. (Pisces) and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Aries), Mitt Romney (Pisces) and Ann Romney (Aries)
Libra is all about harmony, balance, aesthetic pleasure, and peace. For this reason, Pisces can’t help but feel attracted to the world their charming Libra has created for them. As long as Pisces isn’t bothered by Libra’s social personality and constant over-analyzing, and Pisces doesn’t pull their infamous bouts of rage or temper tantrums, these two can co-exist very happily together. They just need to understand that their temperaments and personalities are different—but not different enough to give them a shot at trying it out. The Libra is a go-getter, planner and motivator. All of which are Pisces’ weakest traits. The Pisces is emotionally thoughtful, purposeful and sensitive, all of which can sometimes be Libra’s weakest traits. This pair can be a ying to the other’s yang if the stars are aligned correctly when they meet. Famous Couples: Chris Martin (Pisces) and Gwyneth Paltrow (Libra), Jon Bon Jovi (Pisces) and Dorothea Hurley (Libra), Dana Reeve (Pisces) and Christopher Reeve (Libra), Joel Madden (Pisces) and Hilary Duff (Libra)
Worst Qualities: Pisces live in a fantasy world that makes it seem as if they are oh-so-mysterious (people can’t help but wonder “what ARE they thinking about?”), but the reality is that they are so confused about how they feel that they very rarely can make a decision about which mood they are in or which direction to go. Indecisiveness is a big challenge for Pisces and can sometimes render them immutable and left whining and throwing a tantrum because they simply can’t decide between hot and cold, happy or sad, left or right. As fickle as a child, their decisions and actions are at the beck and call of their mood de jour. Making a commitment to a decision, feeling, or idea can be excruciating for them and they end up delegating the decision to someone else. Pisces say that they hate hurting someone’s feelings, but the truth is that many of them get a sadistic kick out of hurting the ones they love. They can be completely self-absorbed and self-centered, so it is hard for them to strike a fine balance between making a decision that is best for them while still making it seem as if they are putting other people’s feelings into consideration. Violent tempers, mood swings, possessive, and addictive personalities are very common to Pisces. Many are apt to deal with depression, jealousies, and feelings of inadequacy or unexplained sadness. Sometimes living in their own fantasy world with their head in the clouds makes the landing on Earth a crash and burn reality. Pisces need to learn to not transfer their own feelings of unhappiness or inadequacy onto their loved ones, or they may end up terribly alone. Also, when a Pisces has made up their mind, they can be incredibly loyal to that decision, which can be a heavy burden on those who don’t agree.
Best Matches: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio
Taurus thrives in the home and needs to feel protected, secure, and loved. Taurus, after all, is in love with the idea of love—wishing that the world is full of romance and sex. In comes Pisces, who, with a wave of a wand, can make all their dreams seem true. Both signs are also drawn to the intensity of touch and are very ethereal. They aren’t afraid to explore their sexuality together and see what happens in the bedroom. Spiritual conversations, intense emotional bonds, and a sense of comfort comes easily when these two signs are paired together. They will be best friends and lovers, which is, after all, the sweetest thing. Famous Couples: Javier Bardem (Pisces) and Penelope Cruz (Taurus), Cindy Crawford (Pisces) and Randy Gerber (Taurus), Eva Longoria (Pisces) and Tony Parker (Taurus), Liza Minnelli (Pisces) and David Gest (Taurus)
Virgo is Pisces perfect astrological opposite. This is to say that they can either be a great couple, or a horrible one. While Pisces may find making a decision hard, Virgo is more apt to say “this is what you do and how you do it.” And when both are stuck for a decision, the over-analytical Virgo and the dreamlike Pisces can sit together for hours arriving at the best decision and exploring all the pro’s and con’s of the situation. Virgo enjoys Pisces mystical and seemingly innocent (and slightly neurotic) side; Pisces delights in Virgo’s purity and strength. Virgo is always reliable when it comes to Pisces because a Virgo always feels the need to protect or nurture their wounded partner. However, Virgo can easily become annoyed with Pisces’ inconsistencies and inability to make decisions. Pisces can feel over-analyzed and criticized by Virgo. The truth is that both are at fault here by simply being who they are. Famous Couples: Cindy Crawford (Pisces) and Richard Gere (Virgo), Emily Blunt (Pisces) and Michael Buble (Virgo)
Capricorn’s drive, stamina, and discipline provide the backbone that the Pisces has always been searching for. Capricorns know how to get things done and get them done right, especially in business and finance. They seldom question their actions and just go for it, something which a Pisces can’t help but admire. Also, since Pisces tends to spend money a bit more recklessly, they benefit greatly by Capricorn’s shrewd financial planning and investment advice. So what does the Pisces bring to the table? Capricorns tend to be aloof and not evolved emotionally speaking—these goats can be a bit too harsh and cold while climbing to the top of that mountain. That’s where Pisces comes in, softening the rough edges of the Capricorn and calming them down, telling them when they are being inappropriate, mean, or too damn cold-hearted. Famous Couples: Penny Lancaster (Pisces) and Rod Stewart (Capricorn), Christine Baumgartner (Pisces) and Kevin Costner (Capricorn), Pat Nixon (Pisces) and Richard Nixon (Capricorn)
Cancer will feel at home in Pisces deep emotional waters; these two literally are as happy as a crab (Cancer) and a fish (Pisces) swimming together in the vast ocean. They are both emotional, sensitive and moody, and feel as if they have found their perfect soul mate in each other. Whether it is staying at home for a nice evening by candlelight, or reading a book in the corner of the living room while sipping on a nightcap, these two simply enjoy each other’s comforting presence. Cancer is a very witty and driven sign, as is Pisces, and together their conversations will flow smoothly and easily. More importantly, neither sign is afraid to call the other out on their BS, and knows when to leave well enough alone. Their union will be mystical, and their bond intensive and somewhat possessive, but that’s how they both roll when it comes to love. At the very least, both of them will be able to understand each other’s emotional volatility. Famous Couples: Kurt Cobain (Pisces) and Courtney Love (Cancer), Johnny Cash (Pisces) and June Carter Cash (Cancer), Vanessa Williams (Pisces) and Rick Fox (Cancer)
Scorpio’s more intense, sensual qualities invigorate Pisces to feel more sexual and sensual—these two will certainly have a romantically charged relationship where feelings and emotions seem very heightened and magnified. Both are very spiritual signs and will be drawn to an alternative lifestyle together and will judge each other rarely, and love each other permanently. They may not marry, but they will happily spend the rest of their lives together. Intellectual stimulation and friendship rules this couple first and foremost, but a healthy physical attraction is definitely there. They both sense what the other needs (for Scorpio, they need space and freedom, especially from judgment; for Pisces, they need attention, coddling, and adoration). Famous Couples: Kurt Russell (Pisces) and Goldie Hawn (Scorpio), Bruce Willis (Pisces) and Demi Moore (Scorpio), Michael Bolton (Pisces) and Nicollette Sheridan (Scorpio), Tom Arnold (Pisces) and Roseanne (Scorpio), Julia Cameron (Pisces) and Martin Scorsese (Scorpio), Elizabeth Taylor (Pisces) and Richard Burton (Scorpio), Alan Greenspan (Pisces) and Andrea Mitchell (Scorpio)

A New Year of Resolutions...
Another blank calendar year staring us straight in the face. SCARY! It is no surprise that this is the time of year when people make big life changes/decisions. Looking straight down the barrel of another 364 days ahead, you just can’t bear another moment of your precious time being wasted doing something you hate, going somewhere you loathe, acting in a manner you despise, or simply just repeating the same mistake over and over and OVER again.
Well, as the saying goes…buck up, kiddo.
2008 is now here and important resolutions need to be made (and kept) for this year to be your best yet!
Some important LIFE To-Do items:
1. Think about what UNhappy aspects of your life need to be changed
2. Think about what parts of your life make you happy
3. Think about what is MISSING in your life to make you happy
4. Write a list of all of the above
5. Evaluate your list and place items in order of importance
6. Decide HOW to take action for each item
7. GO! What are you waiting for??
Some important ASTRO To-Do items:

2.Find out what the Chinese New Year will bring you (click on link below):

3. Read your yearly horoscope (click on link below):

4. Read your January horoscope to find out how 2008 will kick off (click on link below):
http://www.susanmiller.com/forecasts
Now, some of you may wonder about my astro-items above and what the hell I am talking about. Let's review. I am a big fan of numerology (item #1 on To-Do List). There are two important numerology numbers to know: your Life Path Number (based on the year of your birth), and your Life Cycle Number (based on the current year). On the date you were born, your birthday added up to a particular number, listed 1-9, in numerology. This number is your Life Path Number and is much like your Astrological Sun Sign in that it identifies you by a certain number (or sign in the case of Astrology) to which you have a certain set of challenges, risks, skills and life missions. This number NEVER changes and is with you for the rest of your life. Then there is your life cycle number. This changes every year (i.e., if 2007 was your 1 year, then 2008 will be your 2 year, and then 2009 your 3 year, and so on). It is important to know your current life cycle number for each year to see what your particular challenges/rewards will be for the next 365 days of that year. So, in summary: your life path number is your general numerology for this lifetime; your life cycle number is your number only for that certain year.
Below are the simple equations used to attain each numerology number. To make it easy, I made an example from one birthday/person.
EXAMPLE: Your birthday is April 27, 1976
Life Path Number = Month + day + year of birth
4+2+7+1+9+7+6= 36
3+6= 9
Your life path number is 9.
Life Cycle Number = Month + day + CURRENT year
4+2+7+2+0+0+8= 23
2+3= 5
Your life cycle number for 2008 is 5.
You can use the link I posted above to see what each life number means. There is ONE exception to the rules above, however. For your Life Path Number ONLY (i.e. the number you have for your entire life based on your year of birth), there are 2 MASTER numbers. These master numbers are 11 and 22. If your birthday and year of birth add up to either 11 or 22, DO NOT reduce the number to 2 or 4, respectively. You are a master life number if you have either above and there are special numerology readings for you lucky people!
OK, math aside, the rest is easy. Chinese New Year (item #2) starts in February. 2008 is the year of the Earth Rat (ew). See what this means for you based on your own Chinese astrology sign. The link I provided can calculate your Chinese astrology sign based on your year and date of birth. Luckily the Chinese don’t care about your exact time of birth, so this doesn’t require calling Mom to find out what time you were born and starting a fight as to why she can’t remember whether you were born at 6am or 10am or, heck, 11pm. It also avoids her having to search through the attic or closet to find your "lost" birth certificate to check for confirmation.
Then there is the standard yearly and monthly horoscopes (items #3 and #4). I take the yearly (and monthly) with a grain of salt…after all, you can’t live your life based on a generalized horoscope for your sign; however, it is always amusing to see what the stars have planned for you and which dates may be ominous for your sign. As you saw from my last blog in 2007, every sign had particular challenges and rewards, so there is always a thread of truth in your sun sign reports! It also doesn’t hurt to know...better safe than sorry, right? I certainly would prefer to avoid buying electronics or signing any contracts when Mercury is in retrograde (which, by the way, happens January 28, 2008 through February 18, 2008 …UGH). For those who remember my November blog about Mercury in retrograde, you know this is NOT a good thing. And for the savvy ones who remember every word of my blog (ha!), you may remember I ended the Mercury retro trippin’ blog with an ominous note about Mars going retro from November 2007 through April 2008 and how wars and political unrest/turmoil occur when Mars, the planet of war, goes backwards. Have you been paying attention to the news recently? Hint: US presidential campaigns, Iran's nuclear weapons, Pakistan's military rule and recent assassination...
Scary!
So, determine to set 2008 on a positive path and work the planets to your advantage. Know the days that are best for love, career and health and let the planets work for you.
On a simple astrological level, why not work on some key issues that you know bother you (or others around you?).
Some simple thoughts:
Capricorn: try to work less. I know this is hard to conceptualize, but you are burning out from all those long hours and work trips. Relax, stay at home, open a bottle of wine and crash on your sofa. You deserve some R&R! Do I see a vacation coming your way soon?? I sure hope so!
Aquarius: try to set a goal. Your emotions are climbing again as you start to freak out about mounting work pressures, obligations, etc, now that the holidays have cooled. You aren’t happy with your profession right now…so take steps to find a new job, or at least a new plan of attack, pronto.
Pisces: try to make a firm decision. Your wishy-washy attitude is getting old. Stop asking other people what you should do and figure out what it is YOU want to do. After all, no one can be as selfish (and good at it) as a Pisces.
Aries: try to save some money. The holidays and NYE have certainly racked up some major bills (shopping, accessories, electronics, entertainment, et al) and you are feeling a bit drained, financially speaking. Work on saving money and scaling back a bit from that larger than life lifestyle you live.
Taurus: try to be less stubborn. It’s time to start being a bit more flexible with your expectations, plans and agendas rather than forcing people to comply to your own. Take a mental break and commit to being a better, more well-rounded, person this year. It doesn't always have to go YOUR way, so stop pouting. You may learn something about the value of consensus or teamwork in the process.
Gemini: try to de-stress a bit. I know it is hard for your over-active mind to “be clear” for a moment, but you need to do it for your own mental sanity. You are not enjoying life right now and are worrying too much. Stop it. Life is meant to be lived, not endured…and you know that better than most. As the children of the zodiac, getting into some mischievous behavior is second nature to you. The world needs a good prank/laugh every now and then. Consider it your duty to mankind.
Cancer: try to be more social and less emotional. You have been hiding out for too long. The world misses you! It’s time to shake your arse and hit a bar, dance club, or restaurant with some friends and catch them up on what has been going on with you. Right now, people are starting to think of you as the mad scientist who has gone crazy in the basement concocting something strange. FYI, that is NOT a pretty picture.
Leo: try to be less proud. Yes, it is a fine line between pride and self-confidence/esteem. We know you have ample amounts of both, but sometimes it becomes too haughty and annoying. Simmer down and play around for a bit...turn into a cat for a day rather than a lion. It may do you good to act as the "little people" for a day (heck, if you can hold out, shoot for 2 days!).
Virgo: try to stop over-analyzing everything. It may be second nature to you, but the world is a lot prettier (and a heck of a lot more fun) when you aren’t always finding what’s WRONG or MISSING in it. Even a Monet is a terrible mess when you look at it up close or analyze every detail. Take in the bigger picture and appreciate the forest from the trees. Tired of my cliches? Thought so.
Libra: try to hold back judgment. You focus so much on balance and harmony that you are sometimes a bit too opinionated when things don’t jive with what you think is right. Let go. Appreciate other peoples’ decisions for what they are and be a supportive friend and smile that winning smile of yours. Heck, throw in a great laugh or hug. It will make everyone, including yourself, feel better! Now THAT is real balance!
Scorpio: try being optimistic. It is easy to brood, mourn, worry and feel depressed…you are all too good at it! This you already know. So how about turning the tide and being positive? Expect the best, and maybe, gasp, it will happen! Throw on a sexy outfit (in your case, try the color RED since it is your power color) and go flaunt that intensely sexy side of yourself. Others won’t be able to resist.
Sagittarius: try to not be so blunt. Sure, you are honest, speak your mind and prefer to be direct rather than passive. We love that about you…most, err, some, of the time. But sometimes it just hurts a bit! While we appreciate your brutal honestly (after we have licked our wounds from the lashing), we may prefer it in a less brutal manner? If you have to rip off the band-aid, at least smile while you are doing it!
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
Next Up: Which team do you play for?
Well, as the saying goes…buck up, kiddo.
2008 is now here and important resolutions need to be made (and kept) for this year to be your best yet!

Now, some of you may wonder about my astro-items above and what the hell I am talking about. Let's review. I am a big fan of numerology (item #1 on To-Do List). There are two important numerology numbers to know: your Life Path Number (based on the year of your birth), and your Life Cycle Number (based on the current year). On the date you were born, your birthday added up to a particular number, listed 1-9, in numerology. This number is your Life Path Number and is much like your Astrological Sun Sign in that it identifies you by a certain number (or sign in the case of Astrology) to which you have a certain set of challenges, risks, skills and life missions. This number NEVER changes and is with you for the rest of your life. Then there is your life cycle number. This changes every year (i.e., if 2007 was your 1 year, then 2008 will be your 2 year, and then 2009 your 3 year, and so on). It is important to know your current life cycle number for each year to see what your particular challenges/rewards will be for the next 365 days of that year. So, in summary: your life path number is your general numerology for this lifetime; your life cycle number is your number only for that certain year.
Below are the simple equations used to attain each numerology number. To make it easy, I made an example from one birthday/person.
EXAMPLE: Your birthday is April 27, 1976
Life Path Number = Month + day + year of birth
4+2+7+1+9+7+6= 36
3+6= 9
Your life path number is 9.
Life Cycle Number = Month + day + CURRENT year
4+2+7+2+0+0+8= 23
2+3= 5
Your life cycle number for 2008 is 5.
You can use the link I posted above to see what each life number means. There is ONE exception to the rules above, however. For your Life Path Number ONLY (i.e. the number you have for your entire life based on your year of birth), there are 2 MASTER numbers. These master numbers are 11 and 22. If your birthday and year of birth add up to either 11 or 22, DO NOT reduce the number to 2 or 4, respectively. You are a master life number if you have either above and there are special numerology readings for you lucky people!
OK, math aside, the rest is easy. Chinese New Year (item #2) starts in February. 2008 is the year of the Earth Rat (ew). See what this means for you based on your own Chinese astrology sign. The link I provided can calculate your Chinese astrology sign based on your year and date of birth. Luckily the Chinese don’t care about your exact time of birth, so this doesn’t require calling Mom to find out what time you were born and starting a fight as to why she can’t remember whether you were born at 6am or 10am or, heck, 11pm. It also avoids her having to search through the attic or closet to find your "lost" birth certificate to check for confirmation.
Then there is the standard yearly and monthly horoscopes (items #3 and #4). I take the yearly (and monthly) with a grain of salt…after all, you can’t live your life based on a generalized horoscope for your sign; however, it is always amusing to see what the stars have planned for you and which dates may be ominous for your sign. As you saw from my last blog in 2007, every sign had particular challenges and rewards, so there is always a thread of truth in your sun sign reports! It also doesn’t hurt to know...better safe than sorry, right? I certainly would prefer to avoid buying electronics or signing any contracts when Mercury is in retrograde (which, by the way, happens January 28, 2008 through February 18, 2008 …UGH). For those who remember my November blog about Mercury in retrograde, you know this is NOT a good thing. And for the savvy ones who remember every word of my blog (ha!), you may remember I ended the Mercury retro trippin’ blog with an ominous note about Mars going retro from November 2007 through April 2008 and how wars and political unrest/turmoil occur when Mars, the planet of war, goes backwards. Have you been paying attention to the news recently? Hint: US presidential campaigns, Iran's nuclear weapons, Pakistan's military rule and recent assassination...
Scary!
So, determine to set 2008 on a positive path and work the planets to your advantage. Know the days that are best for love, career and health and let the planets work for you.
On a simple astrological level, why not work on some key issues that you know bother you (or others around you?).
Some simple thoughts:
Capricorn: try to work less. I know this is hard to conceptualize, but you are burning out from all those long hours and work trips. Relax, stay at home, open a bottle of wine and crash on your sofa. You deserve some R&R! Do I see a vacation coming your way soon?? I sure hope so!
Aquarius: try to set a goal. Your emotions are climbing again as you start to freak out about mounting work pressures, obligations, etc, now that the holidays have cooled. You aren’t happy with your profession right now…so take steps to find a new job, or at least a new plan of attack, pronto.
Pisces: try to make a firm decision. Your wishy-washy attitude is getting old. Stop asking other people what you should do and figure out what it is YOU want to do. After all, no one can be as selfish (and good at it) as a Pisces.
Aries: try to save some money. The holidays and NYE have certainly racked up some major bills (shopping, accessories, electronics, entertainment, et al) and you are feeling a bit drained, financially speaking. Work on saving money and scaling back a bit from that larger than life lifestyle you live.
Taurus: try to be less stubborn. It’s time to start being a bit more flexible with your expectations, plans and agendas rather than forcing people to comply to your own. Take a mental break and commit to being a better, more well-rounded, person this year. It doesn't always have to go YOUR way, so stop pouting. You may learn something about the value of consensus or teamwork in the process.
Gemini: try to de-stress a bit. I know it is hard for your over-active mind to “be clear” for a moment, but you need to do it for your own mental sanity. You are not enjoying life right now and are worrying too much. Stop it. Life is meant to be lived, not endured…and you know that better than most. As the children of the zodiac, getting into some mischievous behavior is second nature to you. The world needs a good prank/laugh every now and then. Consider it your duty to mankind.
Cancer: try to be more social and less emotional. You have been hiding out for too long. The world misses you! It’s time to shake your arse and hit a bar, dance club, or restaurant with some friends and catch them up on what has been going on with you. Right now, people are starting to think of you as the mad scientist who has gone crazy in the basement concocting something strange. FYI, that is NOT a pretty picture.
Leo: try to be less proud. Yes, it is a fine line between pride and self-confidence/esteem. We know you have ample amounts of both, but sometimes it becomes too haughty and annoying. Simmer down and play around for a bit...turn into a cat for a day rather than a lion. It may do you good to act as the "little people" for a day (heck, if you can hold out, shoot for 2 days!).
Virgo: try to stop over-analyzing everything. It may be second nature to you, but the world is a lot prettier (and a heck of a lot more fun) when you aren’t always finding what’s WRONG or MISSING in it. Even a Monet is a terrible mess when you look at it up close or analyze every detail. Take in the bigger picture and appreciate the forest from the trees. Tired of my cliches? Thought so.
Libra: try to hold back judgment. You focus so much on balance and harmony that you are sometimes a bit too opinionated when things don’t jive with what you think is right. Let go. Appreciate other peoples’ decisions for what they are and be a supportive friend and smile that winning smile of yours. Heck, throw in a great laugh or hug. It will make everyone, including yourself, feel better! Now THAT is real balance!
Scorpio: try being optimistic. It is easy to brood, mourn, worry and feel depressed…you are all too good at it! This you already know. So how about turning the tide and being positive? Expect the best, and maybe, gasp, it will happen! Throw on a sexy outfit (in your case, try the color RED since it is your power color) and go flaunt that intensely sexy side of yourself. Others won’t be able to resist.
Sagittarius: try to not be so blunt. Sure, you are honest, speak your mind and prefer to be direct rather than passive. We love that about you…most, err, some, of the time. But sometimes it just hurts a bit! While we appreciate your brutal honestly (after we have licked our wounds from the lashing), we may prefer it in a less brutal manner? If you have to rip off the band-aid, at least smile while you are doing it!
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
