The Full Moon preview reflects the importance of framing. The way we talk about our lives is an act of framing. The choice of frame can either harmonize with the overall picture and enhance its beauty, or clash with it and diminish its appeal. The Sun and Mercury alignment in representative Leo shows how an appropriate and well-placed frame can elevate the beautiful aspects of our lives to the status of art.
ARIES (March 21 – April 19). There are two paths – one is bathed in sunlight and promises warmth and familiarity, the other is wrapped in the mysterious light of the moon and beckons with the lure of the unknown. Don’t know what to do next? Don’t worry – your feet know.
BULL (April 20 – May 20). Your interactions with a particular person are full of energy because you like them. Affectionate vibes always up the ante, so there’s more risk involved, but the risk is also more rewarding. Your playfulness wins.
TWINS (May 21 – June 21). Don’t take things too literally, as this will limit your understanding as well as your ability to emotionally connect. Before you think about the words someone says, it’s wise to get a general sense of the intention and go from there.
CANCER (June 22 – July 22). The time to look back is when you are free to make a different kind of decision in the future. If you are stuck, focus on the present. Figure out where you are stuck and what you can possibly change and use to free yourself.
LION (July 23 – August 22). Fun is calling and you join in. You do it wholeheartedly because you know what’s worth it and when to hold back completely. You also have a sense of when the fun has reached critical mass and it’s time to get out before the denouement.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22). You will find a satisfying balance in the dance between pleasure and discipline. You will laugh with friends. You will also find peace in quiet moments alone. Both are important, both are valuable.
SCALE (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) There are plenty of mysteries to unravel. You might choose the invisible, although some of the best mysteries are glorious, obvious, and miraculous. Just because a situation is visible doesn’t mean it’s any less understandable than the invisible.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some people think it’s a virtue to go against your passions, but the wiser ones work with their inclinations. What would you do if you could do nothing else? You have the ability to focus.
PROTECT (November 22 – December 21). You may not know why you do something, but the reasons are there. For example, you can count on certain people to react in certain ways. Some provide comfort, others an interesting argument.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) Most of the things you deal with today cannot be rushed, or rather, they definitely can be rushed, but that ruins the experience for everyone. Things are ready when they are, not when we want them to be.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18). Whatever you call the situation, that’s what it will be called. Things will go accordingly. Make it easy on yourself by deciding it’s a blessing and sticking with it until you see the blessing in it. It won’t be long now.
FISH (February 19-March 20) Even if you disagree with someone, try to see the truth and beauty in their point of view, if there is any. You believe there is always some if you look hard enough, and that is what sets you apart today.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 18). Justice is a serious matter, but somehow you manage to achieve what is fair for everyone with compassion, humor and goodwill. You have an inkling of what might excite and delight those around you, and you are often right about it. Other highlights: One new relationship will lead to five more if you pursue it in good faith and good spirits. Kitchens, multitasking and managing a team will all be predominant themes. Pisces and Sagittarius love you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 19, 4, 48 and 21.
PROMINENT PROFILES: Acclaimed actor and founder of the Sundance Film Festival, Robert Redford, was born when the Sun was in the last degrees of Leo and passionate Mars was also in this chivalrous part of the sky. The most powerful force in his birth chart, however, is Virgo – the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Neptune are all stationed in this down-to-earth, detail-oriented, caring and hardworking sign.
