Spring is in the air! Flowers are blooming! Rain is falling! Pollen is swirling! Well, if you are plagued with allergies, these new developments may inspire more nausea or sinus headaches than a feeling of bliss. But you get my point...seasons are changing and that means new wardrobes, daylight savings, summer vacations to plan, and a whole new chapter in 2008 to look forward to.
Many of us have had a rough start in 2008. Mercury was in retrograde from the end of January to almost the end of February, which caused a breakdown in many communications and plans; Mars is still retrograde until May technically, which has brought conflicts, high spending bills, and a sense of tension around every corner.
Kinda sucks when I write it all down, huh?
Well, I think we need to view Spring as the beginning of great things to come...notably, summer!! So what better way to celebrate the new season than my doing a quick recount of the past Winter and making suggestions on how to have a great Summer?
OK, here goes:
Capricorn: If one were to sum up your first quarter of '08 (I know you relate more when I use financial terms to describe your life), it would be travel travel travel, work work work. You have barely been home!!! And when you are home, you are working 24/7. And when you are traveling, you are working 24/7. Of course, most of you have been quite happy. Deliriously happy, actually. You are really enjoying all the new projects on your desk and this immense feeling of purpose your life has had lately. What's missing, of course, is a sense of contentment in your love life. Sure, your work is your "play", but, honestly...take time to smell the flowers and be with your friends (or that someone special). Jupiter is in your sign this year, so anything you do should make you succeed tremendously. Use that gift wisely. Book a trip for the summer in which you will NOT have your blackberry with you and can not be reached for work purposes. Also, plan a dinner party (or make a reservation at your favorite restaurant) with your friends/partner and celebrate how much money you have been making this year.
Aquarius: you stressed little soul! STOP! Work has been a never ending pile of crap for you lately and you can't see the forest from the trees. You have ironically placed yourself in this situation, after all, when you tell your boss "More, please!" they give you MORE. Aquarians love to always be busy and hopping around from one idea to the next to stay busy, but sometimes enough is enough. It is taking a toll on your mental sanity and you just feel a little exhausted. Drama at work, drama in your personal life just makes you wish you could take a little "me time." So do it. Yes, why not? Plan a trip to go visit a friend in a distant city and explore their hometown. Do NOT go see a tortured friend though. Even Mother Teresa needed a break.
Pisces: life has been moving along quite well...kinda like a nice "hum" to it. Most of you are nesting. Yes, nesting. You are expecting a new addition to the family, or focusing on family/spiritual matters. What makes YOU happy? True, you are always asking yourself this philosophical question, but the reality is that all of you Pisces right now are on the brink of a major life change. Whether it is a new job, new baby, new home, new relationship (or marriage), there is something big coming into your life. Enroll yourself in some yoga/pilates classes to meditate and relax so you can eagerly welcome all these new changes. Since you love being near water, or doing some sort of physical activity (you Pisces love your workouts), why not book a white water rafting trip, or mountain hiking excursion, to do something that will connect you to nature AND allow you to be physically fit?
Aries: there's not much to say right now, huh? Well, except for that quiet discontentment under the surface regarding your career. Thinking of a change? Thinking you aren't being challenged enough? Thinking you need some more spice in your life? There is a lot of routine right now and you want to shake things up a bit. You are becoming too predictable for your own liking! Gasp! At least you are still being sociable and making plans for fun nights out. When you stop doing that, then I would start to worry. So for now, just sit back and enjoy this down time. Use the brewing discontentment to make you think about what would be fun to do next in your career. If you don't feel like thinking about it, just focus on your birthday coming up (or just having passed) and how to make this year a better one for you. A trip to somewhere completely new, different, and slightly exotic may be the ticket.
Taurus: and the drama rolls on. There is a LOT going on in your life...are you in the right career? Are you with the right person? Should you move homes or should you stay? What to do, what to do. Well, for one thing, stop enjoying the drama. It's true...you may wish harmony and peace, but you are kinda enjoying being the topic du jour and mixing around some ideas in your head about what your future will hold. The answer is: just do it. The whole reason this is happening is because your life up until now has been ho hum and boring. This spice is exactly what you needed, so use it to create a new path that is fun and unpredictable. It may do you good to lose control!! But first things first...book a massage or a relaxation day/retreat. You are on overload and could use some pampering. Buy some new clothes with vibrant colors to cheer you up...and get ready for the rollercoaster ride!
Gemini: OK, calm down and stop stressing. Too much work and no play is not fun. It doesn't help that things also seem to be so unsettled lately. Even though Mercury went out of retrograde in mid-February, many of you feel as if you are going through a retro trip now. It's time to loosen up and enjoy life a bit more...and stop trying to control that which you can't. This relates to work AND love life. Don't waste time either...Mercury goes BACK into retrograde (and in Gemini no less!) May 26th through June 19th, but the effects begin May 12th and last through to July 5th. Remember, Mercury warms up for his race well ahead of time, and then takes his sweet ole' time adjusting to running forward again. So that's basically 1.5 months of "pause and reflect." So do things NOW that will make you happy when you are "pausing and reflecting" on what's going on. A good idea? Plan a fun multi-destination trip for the summer. Nothing makes you happier than knowing you have a new adventure or city to explore on the horizon.
Cancer: we don't really know how you are doing because you have been such a damn recluse. Yeah yeah, you are busy and right now things aren't going well. Things seem to be a bit confusing, sad, twisted and unhappy. So you crawled into your shell to figure it all out. All I can say is great. We don't want to see you in your state of misery and you don't want to be dealt the harsh words of criticism either. Take care of your health and focus on making your mind and body feel physically fit and healthy...stress is a bitch on your immune system. Most importantly, take some down time and do breathing exercises. Like Capricorn, your astro-opposite, you need to learn to not over-work yourself. Since you hate spending tons of money, book an all-day retreat to a massage center (like a Korean spa or a student massage institute) and get a lot of TLC for a cheap price. The best of both worlds!
Leo: hey there big spender!! Did you just win the lottery? There's a lot of expenses flowing in and out of your bank account lately...but it is all worth it. Whether you just paid off a huge debt, bought a new home, booked an expensive vacation, or took a long trip (or all of the above), you have certainly been racking up the expenses. You have also been pushing your health by doing too much. Even you can't be Wonderwoman or Superman. Be sure to take your vitamins and go to the gym...it will help you keep your energies up and your body healthy. But with all this action, make sure you find plenty of time to stay in bed and relax! And since you Leo's love doing other fun things in bed, why don't you just plan your day around the bedroom? Hopefully all your spending has included some sexy new clothes for Spring and Summer...flaunt yourself and enjoy all the admiring glances. Who knows, someone could offer to take YOU on a trip.
Virgo: I know you hate your job. Everyone knows you hate your job. But you Virgo's need to take action rather than TALK about taking action. Yes, you work ridiculous hours. Yes, you are always stressed. But newsflash: the sky will not come crashing down if you take a day off. And that includes leaving your blackberry at home. Take a REAL day off. Actually, take a week off. When was the last time you did that?? Make finding a new job your number #1 priority and don't forget to book your summer vacation now...it will give you a better chance of actually taking it. If you procrastinate, you just won't ever do it. Remember: there is NO such thing as perfect timing. You have to create it. Since you have been on overload with work, a relaxing beach environment would be best for you. Sun, ocean and minimal background noise.
Libra: tra la la, and life is still good. You look and feel great and life hasn't felt this good in a long time. You have been a homebody too. What's up with that? You are too sociable to stay at home all the time (and talking on the phone with all your friends does not count). Plan a fun night out with your friends and delight them with your happy-go-lucky self. Since staying home is your new motto, why not find a room to re-decorate and make that your next project? At the very least, it will get you out of the house to run errands to Home Depot. Maybe you could make your new project be your backyard? A new table, grill or landscaping may be just the perfect thing for all those summer BBQ's you want to host.
Scorpio: feeling a bit down and out? A little dark and moody? It's OK...happens to the best of us. Your problem is that you are just tired of the routine of life. You want a new view. France? Italy? Argentina? Hong Kong? Why not?? Start doing some research on a far away and new place...you love researching stuff anyways. Maybe center your trip around something historical (like visiting castles in Ireland or ancient ruins in Greece). You get the idea. At the very least, it will get your mind running over new possibilities and remind you that life has tons of options for you to explore. Hop to it. No need for me to spell out what to do for the summer...I just did! Book your flight now!
Sagittarius: your life is kinda messy and sticky right now, isn't it? What's going on?! Aren't you happy with your choices? Are you feeling confused? Are you secretly loving the fact that you are changing and are just beginning to see all the new possibilities infront of you? A whole new chapter in your life has started. For some of you, it means a new job. For others, it means a new relationship or home. For most, it is all of the above. All of this is making you a bit crazy and feeling slightly dangerous...as if you are on the verge of taking a flying leap into the unknown. Do it. If nothing else, you will have a great story to tell when all is said and done. Taking a risk will help you feel more satisfied in all areas of your life. For this summer, put the warm weather to good use-- take your risks to the outdoors and don't stay at home watching TV reruns.

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)

The Politics of Astrology: Part II
So tomorrow is fabulous Super Tuesday part deux. Of course, most of the nation is watching with baited breath to see whether Hillary can pull another miracle, or whether Obama will run with the Democratic nomination.
It’s a tough call, that’s for sure. So let’s put a little astrology into this nonsense to figure it out. As I mentioned in the last blog, one sign is different from all the rest and may have an advantage for being “special”…the other sign is an astrological powerhouse, which may sweep the nomination simply for being a force to be reckoned with.
I know. I am such a tease. I keep hinting at it and not dishing. So here’s the scoop:
Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4, 1961. This makes him a Leo, the only FIRE sign in this entire election. That’s quite an advantage since fire signs are known for their boldness, assertiveness, charisma and power. In fact, they thrive on power. Having it, using it, owning it…and abusing it. It is no coincidence that some of history’s most powerful leaders/dictators/political figures have been Leo’s.
Who, you ask? Let me list a few:
Napoleon
Mussolini
Castro
Jerry Falwell
Bill Clinton
Arnold Schwarzennegger
Yassar Arafat
Special note: Those Leo’s love going by one name, huh? Even Madonna works it to her advantage. It just kinda goes to the heart of a Leo: all about show, drama and stardom. They love the spotlight, they thrive on the attention, and they are pretty darn good at charming the pants off of anyone they know (especially if they want something from you). Natural born leaders, Leo’s inspire courage and confidence to those around them. As you can see from the list above, they are forces to be reckoned with: self-confident, assured and dogmatic.
Now along with all these admirable traits, Leo’s often suffer from infatuation…of their own image. They are obsessed with hearing themselves talk and seeing themselves walk, so to speak. Leo’s strut. Yes, they do. Like the lion they are, they love their power and their image. They are often accused of being over-indulgent, having too much pride (to the extent that it detrimentally affects their thinking/judgment) and of having power-hungry ambition. All of those leaders above have been their own worst enemy of wanting too much power and marching to the beat of their own philosophical/idealistic/self-righteous drum. They have a tendency to feel they are infallible.
Leo’s are definitely an interesting sign. They are well matched in politics…does the suit fit the man, or does the man fit the suit? Hard to tell with these Leo’s. Or with Obama. While people love his charisma, they aren’t afraid to often point out that he is all show and no substance…that he is in love with the sound of his own voice. His struggle will be to act less of a lion, or at the very least, pretend to be a cat.
On a numerology note, Obama is in his 4 year this year. Your 4 year is one of hard work, slow progress and tons of organization. A lot of stress and prioritization is involved, for you feel that you are playing a game of “Mother may I?” with progress. Responsibilities increase and the groundwork is laid for a very hectic 5 year ahead. Obama’s 5 year, which would be his first year in the Presidency, should he win, is a year of personal freedom, expansion and growth. It is a widening of social circles and a new set of routines filled with tons of momentum. Energy is scattered because too much is on your plate. All in all, it would be a great year socially for Obama, as long as he can focus on getting things done rather than networking just to show off that Leo charm.
So what gives on Hillary? For those paying close attention, since we have already marked Obama as the “different astro sign” and McCain and Huckabee as the Virgo clusterf*ck, this basically leaves the astrological powerhouse in Hillary’s hands.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a Scorpio, born on October 26, 1947. Scorpio’s are represented by the Scorpion (who definitely bears a nasty sting when feeling threatened) and the Phoenix, a mythological fire creature in Greek mythology that rises from its own ashes and is reborn. Scorpio’s always come back and always win…they very rarely lose. Like the Phoenix, or the mystical black cat, they seem to have more lives than we can count. Certainly we have heard, and seen, how Hillary seems to keep bouncing back in these elections. She started out as the clear winner (as most Scorpio’s do) and then, just when the pundits thought she was “done”, she bounced back to win New Hampshire and to take on other major states such as CA, FL, MI and NV. The media is quick to comment on how Hillary just keeps coming back from the dead…just when you think she has been defeated and it is over, she rebounds.
And that’s where the pundits go wrong…over and over again. Never tell a Scorpio it is over. They determine when it is over. Scorpio’s are great at having two faces: the one they show to the public, and the one that they show to only a few (underscore FEW) selective people in their life. They come on strong, invincible, aloof and survivors. Above all else survivors. They are intense, passionate, determined, perceptive, profound and ambitious.
Let’s take a quick look at famous Scorpio leaders:
Ghandi
Prince Charles
Roosevelt
Jawaharlal Nehru
John Adams
Howard Dean
Robert F. Kennedy
Joseph McCarthy
So Hillary is in a good group, astrologically speaking, for political ambitions. Peacemakers and uniters, Scorpio’s have a way of getting what they want and making themselves look good while doing it.
But what about her numerology?
Obama is in his 4 year, going on his 5. McCain is in his 2 year, going on his 3. Both are well suited to win that Oval Office with those numbers going for them. Hillary is currently in her 1 year. What a great year. Your 1 year is a new beginning in your life. You have recently completed an entire 9-year cycle and have taken all those lessons and are ready to start again on a new journey and mission. It is a year of great excitement, challenges and adventures. A time to establish and act on goals, let go of the past and begin anew. You are ready for the world and have boundless energy (a good thing, as it will be used significantly for all these new projects). This leads Hillary into her 2 year as her first year as President, should she win the nomination. Your two year is one of development and cooperation, working with others in a close knit community to make results happen, slowly but surely. There may be delays and frustrations, but interpersonal relationships are strengthened to make things happen.
It is fair to say, then, that all three remaining candidates are well positioned for a terrific two years ahead based on their numerology…all of them having the potential to win this year and succeed in the next. So, really, it is no surprise they are all running and winning. They are in an astro/numerology match that is fairly balanced! Good thing too, seeing as Fox and CNN seem to have lost the art of that word…
That being said, how will they match up against each other? If they are all astrologically and numerologically empowered, who will win?
All of them are worthy opponents. With a Virgo, Scorpio and a Leo running, these things you can be sure of: none are weak, insecure, or lose [easily]. Their own pride (Leo) and stubbornness (Virgo) and power (Scorpio) will keep them in the running for a while to come. I should also note that while none of these signs lose easily, they also don’t lose well. In fact, they don’t lose at all (though Virgo’s don’t fare as well as Leo’s or Scorpio’s in this game…they often get the short end of the karmic stick when it comes to winning…sorry, McCain).
In terms of ganging up on McCain, Scorpio’s and Virgo’s do quite well together. Not so surprising since Hillary and McCain have referenced their mutual admiration and friendship for one another. Should they battle for the Presidential nod, a smoother and more amicable race would develop. Leo’s vs. either the Scorpio or Virgo will turn into a vigorous power match. The process will be much more tense with a Leo involved…they know how to stoke that fire of theirs and use it to their advantage (at the irritation of others).
And just for shits and giggles, there is always Nader-- a Pisces. Guess when fellow Piscean Romney dropped out, Nader felt the need to represent his sign again in this race. Talk about not giving up!
May the best sign win…
Next Up: Spring Fever.
It’s a tough call, that’s for sure. So let’s put a little astrology into this nonsense to figure it out.

Scorpio’s are represented by the Scorpion (who definitely bears a nasty sting when feeling threatened) and the Phoenix, a mythological fire creature in Greek mythology that rises from its own ashes and is reborn. Scorpio’s always come back and always win…they very rarely lose. Like the Phoenix, or the mystical black cat, they seem to have more lives than we can count. Certainly we have heard, and seen, how Hillary seems to keep bouncing back in these elections. She started out as the clear winner (as most Scorpio’s do) and then, just when the pundits thought she was “done”, she bounced back to win New Hampshire and to take on other major states such as CA, FL, MI and NV. The media is quick to comment on how Hillary just keeps coming back from the dead…just when you think she has been defeated and it is over, she rebounds.
And that’s where the pundits go wrong…over and over again. Never tell a Scorpio it is over. They determine when it is over. Scorpio’s are great at having two faces: the one they show to the public, and the one that they show to only a few (underscore FEW) selective people in their life. They come on strong, invincible, aloof and survivors. Above all else survivors. They are intense, passionate, determined, perceptive, profound and ambitious.
Let’s take a quick look at famous Scorpio leaders:
Ghandi
Prince Charles
Roosevelt
Jawaharlal Nehru
John Adams
Howard Dean
Robert F. Kennedy
Joseph McCarthy
So Hillary is in a good group, astrologically speaking, for political ambitions. Peacemakers and uniters, Scorpio’s have a way of getting what they want and making themselves look good while doing it.
But what about her numerology?
Obama is in his 4 year, going on his 5. McCain is in his 2 year, going on his 3. Both are well suited to win that Oval Office with those numbers going for them. Hillary is currently in her 1 year. What a great year. Your 1 year is a new beginning in your life. You have recently completed an entire 9-year cycle and have taken all those lessons and are ready to start again on a new journey and mission. It is a year of great excitement, challenges and adventures. A time to establish and act on goals, let go of the past and begin anew. You are ready for the world and have boundless energy (a good thing, as it will be used significantly for all these new projects). This leads Hillary into her 2 year as her first year as President, should she win the nomination. Your two year is one of development and cooperation, working with others in a close knit community to make results happen, slowly but surely. There may be delays and frustrations, but interpersonal relationships are strengthened to make things happen.
It is fair to say, then, that all three remaining candidates are well positioned for a terrific two years ahead based on their numerology…all of them having the potential to win this year and succeed in the next. So, really, it is no surprise they are all running and winning. They are in an astro/numerology match that is fairly balanced! Good thing too, seeing as Fox and CNN seem to have lost the art of that word…
That being said, how will they match up against each other? If they are all astrologically and numerologically empowered, who will win?
All of them are worthy opponents. With a Virgo, Scorpio and a Leo running, these things you can be sure of: none are weak, insecure, or lose [easily]. Their own pride (Leo) and stubbornness (Virgo) and power (Scorpio) will keep them in the running for a while to come. I should also note that while none of these signs lose easily, they also don’t lose well. In fact, they don’t lose at all (though Virgo’s don’t fare as well as Leo’s or Scorpio’s in this game…they often get the short end of the karmic stick when it comes to winning…sorry, McCain).
In terms of ganging up on McCain, Scorpio’s and Virgo’s do quite well together. Not so surprising since Hillary and McCain have referenced their mutual admiration and friendship for one another. Should they battle for the Presidential nod, a smoother and more amicable race would develop. Leo’s vs. either the Scorpio or Virgo will turn into a vigorous power match. The process will be much more tense with a Leo involved…they know how to stoke that fire of theirs and use it to their advantage (at the irritation of others).
And just for shits and giggles, there is always Nader-- a Pisces. Guess when fellow Piscean Romney dropped out, Nader felt the need to represent his sign again in this race. Talk about not giving up!
May the best sign win…
