Spotlight on Pisces

The only thing harder than change is endings. Ask anyone who’s gone through a divorce, or retired. Or read a Stephen King novel. With Pisces we’ve reached the denouement of the archetypal story and to encapsulate the sign, well, it feels futile to even try to find the words. Language, as we know it, can sometimes be almost meaningless. It would be like asking someone who’s celebrating their 100th birthday to tell you their life story over coffee, all they’ve experienced and learned. It would earn you a smile and a headshake. Each chapter of the journey has played its part and contains profound purpose impossible to see in the moment. You simply had to be there. Pisces has an experiential appreciation of life like no other, which gives them an unassuming sage-like wisdom that separates them from the rest of us.

The Beginning of the 'New'

On January 22, 2011, Jupiter entered Aries, the archetypal sign of new beginnings. Within only 3 days and with Jupiter still at 0 degrees of Aries, the first demonstrations broke out in Egypt and only 18 days later, on February 11th Mubarak had resigned. The world was shocked, amazed and also bewildered. No one knows for sure what will happen next. Will the army give control back to the citizens marking the first true democratic state in the Arab world or will there be detours or even betrayals in the future? Yet, it does seem that something truly new is being born. There is the sense that we are watching history of epic proportions as the meaning of these events potentially has such wonderful possibilities for the entire region and the world. It is easy to become overly optimistic, but who can deny the joy of hope that seems to be emerging now.

Spotlight on Aquarius

Eventually there comes a time when there is the need for change. The word has been bantered around so much in recent years. We all say we want it, why it sure looks good on paper, but deep down, do we? Whether or not we’re willing to admit it we like the comfort of familiarity, the security of the established and the promise of consistency. There’s an enticing malaise of continuing on with the tried and true, capitalizing on the relentless and lasting foundations laid by the Saturnian work ethic. But more importantly, change scares us. What will happen if you start rocking the boat? – Why who knows… It could be like that Butterfly Effect where you think you’re making just a minor alteration when really you’re creating a tidal wave that hits Manhattan! And after all, if you just keep doing what everyone else is doing and has been doing for virtual eons, well, it has been working, so why shake things up?

OMG, My Sign Has Changed

As many of you probably know the internet is ablaze with near panic as people are being told that they may not, in fact, be the Sun sign they thought they were. I have been contacted by many students and clients about this and even got a call from the Associated Press about it. If you are interested, you can see a brief comment I made here:

Let me speak about the confusion and let you know that nothing has changed and that you are still the sign you thought you were. Actually, the confusion arises from two different things. The first is the issue of the so-called new sign, Ophiuchus, and the second has to do with what astronomers refer to as the precession of the equinoxes.

Dine Like Your Sign! Capricorn

It’s been over a month since the premiere of Dine Like Your Sign! and while I appreciate the enthusiastic response and kind comments, there was nary a report of culinary adventures; not a single haggis fête. People, people… Don’t tell me there’s a lack of courageous diners out there. Have the fast food moguls won and made us all lazy, line forming drones? No, I refuse to believe it. Yep, I blame the holidays. Surely there’s been enough time to recover now as we move on to our next group of guests. Capricorn! How lovely, they’re on time (of course). If anyone would be prompt and polite, it’s this winter born clan. And so nicely dressed! Shoes all shined, crisp white shirt freshly pressed with vintage cuff links to punctuate the outfit… It’s no wonder I think they’re so sexy. But I digress…After all this isn’t Dress Like Your Sign, so let’s move on to the meal. But if they’re punctuality and appearance is any indication, doubt not — these people are old school class.
