March Forecast for Pisces
When it comes to putting your hopes, dreams and desires out into the world on the 1st or 2nd, it would be better not to be too specific. That’s not to say you should be vague or muddy in your thinking. Rather, it’s more that, if you want to find love (for example) it will be better to say to the universe ‘I want to find true love with a wonderful person’ than, ‘I...

March Forecast for Aquarius
Hubba, hubba! It looks like you are starting this month out on the 1st and 2nd with a smoldering passion that suddenly ignites into a full-fledged fiery flame of unquenchable love! Wow! That is not bad. Not bad at all! Have fun with this, sugar pie. By the 5th and 6th, things have calmed down a little. Enough, in fact, that you might suddenly feel like you need a little space. Be nice, but...

March Forecast for Capricorn
When you know what you want, you can express what you want clearly, and you’ll draw people who can give it to you. Unfortunately on the 1st and 2nd, you might not be all that clear in your own mind as to what it is you want (and need). As a result, when you try to express yourself, it could all come out a jumble. Then, as a result of that, you might find yourself surrounded by a...

March Forecast for Sagittarius
One thing your buddies love about you is your innate ability to turn a pizza party into an impromptu Philosophy 101 course. They had been planning on a ‘night in’ with pepperoni and mushrooms, and suddenly they are thinking deeply about the meaning of existence! Since your friends are super cool, they totally love changing things up like this. On the 1st and 2nd, it’s...

March Forecast for Scorpio
As the month gets going, you could be all business. There’s nothing wrong with that — in fact, the more ‘all business’ you are, the more great work you are bound to get done! As you plunge into all this getting-things-done on the 1st and 2nd, it’s going to be crucial that you pay close attention to the fine print. That’s right: Business is complicated! As...

March Forecast for Libra
Your good, good, good, good, good energy really impresses them on the 1st and 2nd. Well, yeah. You’ve got good energy. It probably has a lot to do with how honest with yourself you are, how positively you handle both successes and setbacks and your generosity of spirit. Of course, nobody’s perfect, and you have your moments of vanity, insecurity and so forth. But generally...

March Forecast for Virgo
When it comes to communicating well, there’s nothing like putting a little extra thought into what it is, exactly, that you actually want to say. Think about this on the 1st and 2nd. After all, if you casually mention that you wouldn’t mind sushi when really you’ve been seriously considering going vegan, you can hardly be surprised when your dining companion is a little put...

March Forecast for Leo
A major brainstorming session will have major results on the 1st and 2nd. Well, is it any surprise? After all, whenever you turn your incredible creative intellect in a generative direction, amazing things happen. Be sure not to stick what you come up with in the bottom drawer of your desk and forget about it, though. You need to keep these ideas active and in circulation! Do that, and...

March Forecast for Cancer
There are days when it’s necessary — or even just better — to be tight-lipped and buttoned-up. Then there are days, like the 1st and 2nd, when you have to let it all hang out. Sure, you might be a little wild. But what’s wrong with that? Nothing at all! In fact, right now, a little wild is just absolutely right. Whoo-hoo! By the calmer, but no less exciting, and...

March Forecast for Gemini
There are good months, and there are great months, and as you wake up and stretch those limbs and see the sun peeking through the curtains on the 1st and 2nd, you’re going to know you are in for one of the great ones. Wow! Put on your happy pants and your chatty sweatshirt and your ‘it’s great to be alive’ t-shirt. You’re ready! By the anything-is-possible 5th,...

March Forecast for Taurus
As the month gets started on the 1st and 2nd, you want to keep things light. Sure, there are times in life where you have to handle the heavy stuff. But right now isn’t really one of them. So instead of getting into a soul-searching, hours-long email exchange, turn the computer off and go for a nice long walk outside (be sure to leave your iPhone at home, too). Breathe deeply and let...

March Forecast for Aries
Sometimes you’re in the mood to read an epic poem. Or sit through an 18-part made for TV movie. Or run a marathon! But on the 1st and 2nd, what you are in the mood for is something else entirely. For you, as the month begins, short is sweet. Haikus, YouTube short films and text messages are your speed right now. After all, if you can get or receive messages so quickly and succinctly,...

The Three Qualities in Astrology
What are the Qualities?
Like the Elements, this is a grouping of signs, but this time it is quadruplicities, or groups of four. Each of the four groupings has a distinct “quality” and they are known as Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. The quality groupings each have a unique way of engaging with the world.
When were the signs first put into these groups?
The qualities are found in the...

Understanding Astrology in Real Life
Intimacy with the Heavens
Sometimes it’s hard to get inside and experience astrology, when it seems so abstract. The planets and stars are far away, but astrology says we’re made of the same star-energies. The birth chart records the cosmic energies present at the exact moment of your arrival in this lifetime. As the celestial clock moves forward, the changing sky carries us forward...

Astrology Defined
There are as many definitions of astrology as there are astrologers out there. Here’s an evolving collection from those in the field.
Nick Campion, from The Ultimate Astrologer: Astrology is the word of the stars - from the Greek astra (star) and logos (word). It is the study by which we read significance for our lives into the movements of the stars and planets.

Getting Started with Astrology
What is Astrology?
For some, astrology is a just a language used to describe the energies that make up the universe. For others, it’s the observation of the planets and the patterns of energy they create at any given moment. Modern astrology emerged out of an ancient awareness that we’re a microcosm of the universe. “As above, so below,” as the saying goes.

What is Astrology?
The stars and planets have always inspired a sense of wonder. Many cultures look skyward and see the face of the divine there. There’s a cosmic dance on the grand scale, and one on the intimate scale, going on for each of us. Astrology is the study of patterns and relationships — of planets in motion, our birth chart, synastry with others, the make-up of elements — and using that...

If you have a special someone, let them know exactly how special they to you are as the week begins. If you’re solo, shop the online personals and don’t hesitate to make the first move!

Sagittarius: Weekly (Starting on February 27)
Thinking of the big picture while tending to the little things can be exhausting at the beginning of the week, so get plenty of rest.

You’re achievement-oriented as the week begins, and you have your values in mind, too. Choose your path and feel truly fulfilled — you can’t lose.

Taurus: Weekly (Starting on February 27)
You’re a force to reckon with — even more so than usual — at the beginning of the week. A challenge at work doesn’t stand a chance, and if you have a romantic idea, make it into sweet, hot reality.

Aries: Weekly (Starting on February 27)
You may not be operating at top speed as the week begins, but then again, sometimes slow, yet rock-steady progress wins the race. While flattery won’t go over well now, a timely, sincere compliment will be much appreciated. Around Wednesday and Thursday, you’re thinking and talking much quicker. Interactions could go in two directions: Flirtatious or argumentative, or maybe both...
