Uranus' projection for the week of January 21st – 27th, 2008!

Hello My Fabulous Cosmic Children! So wonderful to see you all again!

Hello my fabulous Cosmic Children! I hope the past week has been nothing but kind to you and that you have all sought out and found at least a pleasure or two, darlings! For life without pleasure is like a life without purpose. Happiness is but one strand in that complex – and sometimes overbearing – tapestry we call life, sweethearts, and regardless how diverse the paths we take to find that elusive agent of happiness it is all good. I am reminded of a time recently where I accompanied a dear, sweet friend to a Buddhist Shambhala center for a light evening of Tibetan throat chanting and abiding meditation. Well, as you can well imagine, darlings, as intrepid as I am in life, these were new waters for this sequinned vessel! We sat on the floor on small, round, firm – unexpectedly comfortable – pillows all facing toward a brightly coloured alter festooned with flowers, incense, fruit and other various fun-looking bagatelle. Seated in front of the altar and facing us was a monk who, after about an hour of tendon-stressing pillow squatting, asked us if we had any questions. Well, sweeties, as I am not one who wishes to appear rude with displays of disinterest, I posed my query. I raised an elegant finger and the monk turned his untroubled face toward me and with the slightest of nods signalled that he was ready for my question. Well, darlings, my feeling that I was living an actual expositional, spiritual moment in the finest of Bruce Lee films notwithstanding, I asked my question. “Is happiness”, I postulated, “a genuine state of being happy all the time or simply a state of being ignorant of one’s miseries?” In the brief, portending moments that passed between my question and his, what I anticipated a spiritual rejoinder nothing short of life-changing profundity and eye-opening acroamatics, I finally got the monk’s response; it was, “What’s the difference between the two?” Well, darlings, I was left a tad dumbfounded. But then it occurred to me, the monk’s simple statement was very profound indeed. Why should we, sweeties, fret such small matters of context and annotation when being happy is what matters more. And all happiness is pleasure and all pleasure is happiness so this week, my sweet cosmic children, put pleasure ahead of life’s other – sometimes imperious - clamours.

So, honeys, let us get down to your weekly cosmic projections!

Oh my strong, determined Aries child how you do like to just go for it and so often get! Yet for all your conviction and fortitude life is not always easy for you is it, sweetie? You had a less than appealing experience recently and it has set you to thinking and if there is one thing I know about my headstrong Aries children is that they can be very – sometimes too – analytical! But you are terrible at one type of analysis and that is self-analysis, sweetie! You, darling, sometimes need to be told what is what and while you may not like what like you hear, and sometimes appear not to be even listening, you do take the advice eventually. So in the coming week, while you are ploughing ahead with all your sexy Aries grit, keep an eye open for those slippery road ahead signs, because, while you are so blessed with strength, darling, you are not so equally blessed with good control. So, my Aries child, listen to those closest to you this week and take care not to skid off the tracks, honey.

Hello my wonderfully determined Taurus child! When you set your mind to something, darling, only the most dauntless would even dare stand in your way! Yes, I know, darling, that this is a year of goals for you and setting such august conquests for yourself is indeed noble, sweetheart, and I commend you for taking full advantage of a time in the cosmos that portends such a marvellous time for achieving life’s desires, darling! However, on the downside of my headstrong Taurus child is when you set your sites on a goal you often do so with blinders on and fail to notice some of the things around you, darling, and these things (and people) adore you far too much, baby, to warrant your disinterest. This week I want you to plan a dinner party and entertain all of your adoring fans and assure them that while you are planning big things for yourself in the coming months you have no plans of doing so without them. Show those you care so much about, darling, just how loyal a friend you truly and always are. It will pay huge dividends, sweetie!

Hello my darling Gemini child! It breaks my well-travelled heart, darling, that you sometimes suffer from a slight case of inferiority complex. And while I could forever espouse your well-deserved and well-earned praises you sometimes hang your head a little lower than those around you and well, I swear, darling, this has just got to stop! I will not take another day of this from someone so fabulously giving and altruistic. So enough, sweetie of that inner naysaying and let us look at why you sometimes suffer from inexplicable bouts of self-disparagement. Is it because you feel you do not have as much to offer as someone else? Not as smart? Tall? Sexy? Rich? … well, honey, at the risk of running a tad close to the banal I proffer this piece of threadbare sagacity; there is always someone richer, taller, sexier, funnier and something-ier and all those traits, sweetie, are of absolutely zero cosmic consequence! So, this week, if you find yourself feeling a little down about not having as much to offer as everyone else, think of this, you’re a Gemini, sweetie – the twins – you have twice as much to offer of the stuff that counts than all the rest of us, sweetie!

Darling, there comes a time when you have to put that well-heeled foot of yours down and take charge of the situation! It is time for you to show the world some of that sexy assertion you possess and flaunt your take-charge self, sweetie! Right now you are enjoying a good dose of energy and rather than shop that energy away (and while I agree with you, honey, that nothing cures like a good dance or a good sale) this is not the week for material expenditures. I need you to focus that astute and marvellously dapper mind of yours on getting things done, sweetie! Lately I know you have been at a bit of a crux about where you are going and what you want out of this life and when you get that fantastic idea – as only a sexy Cancerian child can – you need to follow through. Honestly, darling, is there a soul out there in that big, sometimes cold world that can refuse your charms? Of course there isn’t anything you set your refined mind to that wouldn’t bring about fabulous rewards for you, sweetie! So, this week follow the fabulous form of Alexander the Great (no, I’m not referring to that cute waiter at the slouvaki place!) and keep this as your mantra: Veni, vidi, vici which simply means, “I came, I saw, I conquered.” I know you are so up to the challenge, darling!

Hello my fabulously loving Leo Child! While the world sees you as someone who is simply fabulous at everything you often struggle with your innermost thoughts – especially those thoughts that revolve around your oft times upheaved desires. Now, if you have been paying attention, darling, you would already know already that fulfillment of desire and being happy are pretty much the same thing, sweetie. And if not the same thing, honey, at least it’s very fine substitute one for the other. So, rather than contend with those swirling thoughts of yours, you immerse yourself in your distractions like being a fabulously entrancing social butterfly or with your gracefully-powdered nose in an engrossing book. This week, darling, I want you to consider if your habitual divertissements are actually mere, shallow substitutes for your own pleasure and/or happiness. What, sweetie, think I am asking too much? Do you think, with that keen and comely mind of yours, I am asking you to not partake in your pastimes? No, honey, I would never do that! But please, sweetie, this week less time passing time and more time making time – for you.

My dearest Virgo child how are you doing? A little tired, sweetie? I thought you might be and who wouldn’t be with all those people flocking to your feet at if you were the advice messiah, honey! Yes, it does seem that people see you and interpret your balance, strength and humour as the gal who has got it all together! Yes, she’s got it all figured out, baby! But do you, sweetie? While you may be the model of meetness and propitiousness, darling, you and I both know that these traits alone do not an altar make. But, my special Virgo child, those in your life cannot be blamed if they are looking for a little direction. Life is sometimes a complex journey and if there is a source of answers - or even hints - as to how to make this cosmic junket a little simpler then like moths to the proverbial flame, darling, people will cluster around. You, my dearest, are the flame for a lot of people in your life and while this is such a highly complementary position to be accorded, it can be a little wearisome, darling, as you, like all of us are looking for our own answers from time to time. This week darling take a little time off, close the advice office for a while and partake in one of your greatest pleasures: quiet time and a funny TV show.

Hello my dear, open Libra child. Are you feeling lately that things just aren’t going your way, sweetie? This week I am asking all my cosmic children to focus a little more on what brings them pleasure and if there is one thing about you, my audacious one, is that you are not at all shy about seeking out – and most often finding – your pleasures. If fact, your personal lexicon of things that please you and bring you happiness is a good read indeed. So why is it, sweetie, that recently the things that would ordinarily give you pleasure are falling, how should we say it, a little flat? Do many things usually congenial to you seem a little listless at the moment, darling? Well, honey rather that sweep and dust your boredom out of existence, I want you lift that talented head of yours and consider that many things in our lives, like a fake silk blouse, wear thin quite quickly. What you need now, if I may extend my metaphor, darling, are a few fabrics of genuine substance and strength. So, I have a task that I think you may find quite suited to your oh so methodically endearing ways, sweetheart. I want you to consider your life like a closet that has gone unattended for years! Yes, scary thought for you I know! This week take charge and organise that closet – you may be surprised what you find and had completely forgotten about, darling! This week, you need a small, pointed reminder why you chose this path is life, darling, and you’ll be much happier for the personal edification

Oh here we are again – me and my charming and erudite Scorpio child! You know, sweetie, most people have this wish that full and rewarding happiness will come when their dreams come true. And while this is a wonderful thought for many, for you it would be more like having your nightmares born flesh, darling! No, I am not labelling you a naysayer, sweetheart, it’s just that you to tend to lean a little on the negative side for when most people see and smell the flowers they anticipate a beautiful garden, you, on the other hand, expect a funeral. Why do you suppose you sometimes adopt this ‘fresh hell’ attitude, darling? Perhaps it is something you may want to give some thought. I am not one who believes that pleasure comes with a price. But sometimes, my sweet Scorpio child, I think you believe that you think for every joy they must be a pain and, you know, sometimes this may prove true but certainly not always. This week, sweetheart, just take the joy and let it envelope you as joy is the only antidote I know for worry and negativity. How will this joy come into your life? – as always, darling, on a wave of awareness. I know you’ve well earned it, darling!

Have you ever gotten the feeling, darling, that people may resent or even be a tad jealous of you? Well, my sexy Sagittarian child, with all that you possess in life it is a wonder you are not on acerbity’s receiving end more often, sweetheart! But what, do you think, sweetie, it is that people may resent? Is it your comeliness, you home, your talents? Which one would you pick, honey? I know, it’s not a fair question of me to ask I realise but this week darling I do hope that you take stock of the things that make up that alluring construct that is you. It is a shame, at least to my heart, that people – even those you would deem friends – fail to see that all that makes up the wonder that you are comes from your tremendous efforts, darling. You work hard at not just being where you are, sweetie, but also work equally hard at being who you are and that, without any fear of contradiction, is a glorious creature indeed. But also this week, don’t become complacent about your natural endowments, sweetie, for your journey, while not quite sisyphian, has only just begun.

I get the feeling, darling, that you are a little preoccupied with something – actually someone – that has struck your fancy! And who could it be, sweetie, that could have made such a mark on your otherwise seemingly indelible heart? Well, it matters not but with all matters of the heart, unlike matters of the corporeal, I advise only that one approach with caution. As with matters of the corporeal, it’s like a warm and blithesome lake, honey – jump in feet first yelling! The heart, on the other hand, is a little more skittish and delicate and, no, I’m not talking about your heart, sweetie, as you are more courageous than most! In the coming days, honey, I’m asking you to be a little cautious with the heart of whom you have become recently enamoured. Yes, it is usually very easy for you to break the ice when it comes to meeting someone new but you also, with equal ease, seem to break the heart. It truly is not your fault, sweetie, as you are such a beguiling creature, that you are often mislabelled Mr./Ms. Right only to prove otherwise. Oh my dear one, how this has left a trail of tears in your wake sweetie! So, this week, take a little care and check the waters before jumping in for nothing douses the flame of passion as quickly as an ill-timed cold, wet splash, darling!

Hello my fluid, easy-going Aquarius child! While you are so often thought of a sweet, charming nymph skittering from branch to bough in your own gossamer world the reality in much more concrete – and in fact ashfault, darling. While it is never a joy for me sweetie, to impart warnings I must tell you that this week could be a little more trying for you, sweetie. You are going to have to trust your instincts a little more than usual this week and as you have the presence of an alluring woodland creature your instincts should be already well-honed, honey. As my theme this week, sweetie, is the pursuit of happiness, I am always curious as to what would bring someone usually so at ease in the world pleasure. I have a feeling the answer would surprise many indeed! In the coming week, with your logic on hold for a brief respite, your instincts are going to put you into a more feral state of consciousness and in that state you will find a surprising and new source of pleasure, darling. How exciting for you, darling! And while it is easy to rely on ones instincts, darling, it is another thing altogether to trust them. Have fun this week, baby, it’s going to be quite intense!

Hello my Piscean baby, how are you doing? It has been quite exciting for you recently hasn’t it, darling? Practically childlike are you in your seemingly ceaseless enthusiasm, sweetie! You know, sweetie, a short while ago, I sat in a café listening to a dear friend of mine bemoan the loss of magic from her romance with her boyfriend and while she shared her tale of sluggish sex and lethargic living it occurred to me that pleasure needs a boost once in a while. Happiness and pleasure is indeed a delicate orchid sometimes and needs careful attention or it petals fall leaving what is essentially nothing more that wilted stick. So, sweetheart, this week take that wonderful penchant of communication and sharing what you have; cast it onto to waters, honey! There are a lot of beautiful people out there and just one of them is waiting for you unbound joy, darling. Please, do not let this soul go longer than he/she has too for pleasure is always amplified when it shared, darling!

So, my beautiful children, stay healthy and well of both bidy and spirit and I'll see you all next week!

Kisses et P’tit becs,
Uranus!

Uranus' projection for the week of January 14th – 20th, 2008!

Hello My Fabulous Cosmic Children! So wonderful to see you all again!

Once, my darlings, on one of my countless bacchanalian summer soirees in Amsterdam, I veered off course and found myself wondering down what must have been the narrowest pedestrian pass I have ever encountered. I’m telling you, sweethearts, it snaked along for what seemed like an eternity! The tall stone buildings on either side of this incapacious canyon felt positively claustrophobic! What was even more astounding, darlings, was that there were so many people walking in either direction, squeezed so tightly together on this journey unfit for Prada heels - that one had to almost press one’s well-donned self flat against the stone wall in order to pass the other people coming in the opposite direction. While I had wandered haplessly down this constained path, what is it, I thought, that would compel people to do so voluntarily? Well, sweeties, after about 10 minutes of close – sometimes improprietous – contact with strangers (which in and of itself, darlings, is not always such a bad thing!), my ant-like course emerged onto a beautiful stone plaza along a quiet canal. My heart blossomed, darlings, as it always does upon the sight of beauty. Along the ancient canal people sat, drank, smoked, laughed and loved. They watched the long canal boats drifting by, their lights reflected in the still water and on the opposite side of the canal were even more people mirroring ourselves. Darlings, I have to tell you, all was well in the world that night - everything was equal. The horribly dank and claustrophobic – an entirely accidental - path that had led me to this ataraxiac oasis was such a small price to pay for such pleasure.

So, my sweet children, why do I tell you this tale? Well, I hope it serves as a reminder darlings, that in the coming week you will not overlook the big prize for the small obstacles along the way. Also, always know, sweethearts, that this is a shared journey and no wise gal does it completely on her own. Now, enough of this pseudo-sagacity and let’s get down to business, darlings!

Oh my strong, determined Aries child how you do like to just go for it and so often get! Yet for all your conviction and fortitude life is not always easy for you is it, sweetie? You had a less than appealing experience recently and it has set you to thinking and if there is one thing I know about my headstrong Aries children is that they can be very – sometimes too – analytical! But you are terrible at one type of analysis and that is self-analysis, sweetie! You, darling, sometimes need to be told what is what and while you may not like what like you hear, and sometimes appear not to be even listening, you do take the advice eventually. So in the coming week, while you are ploughing ahead with all your sexy Aries grit, keep an eye open for those slippery road ahead signs, because, while you are so blessed with strength, darling, you are not so equally blessed with good control. So, my Aries child, listen to those closest to you this week and take care not to skid off the tracks, honey.

Hello my beautifully strong Taurus child! While so many of those who don’t truly know you see you as a resolute, even mainstream, type of person those closest to you know another gal/guy entirely. You embrace the fine and beautiful things in life and for you the definition of beauty is as nebulous as the people to whom it often accorded. You delight in the weird and the neurotic like no one, sweetie! However, what you do not like is those who are simply acting so. Deceitfulness and duplicity are your sworn enemies, sweetie, and if I know anything about my bullish Taurean children, they make fierce, (often permanent) enemies! Oooh…scary! This week, darling, you will have to be a little patient with some people in your life as many of those around you – including yourself – are going through changes and no change – at least no change for the better – comes without its turmoil. So, my sexy Taurus baby, your understanding nod and succoring smile in the face of annoyance will work wonders this week, sweetie

Hello my sweet Gemini baby! Well, as you already know, darling, this is a year of change for many and for you, with that deft mind of yours, it is also a year of planning for the future. And what is it, sweetie, you see yourself doing when pondering that world-worn path known as the future? I’ll give you a second to formulate that mental montage, honey. Hmmm…looks nice doesn’t it? Now, come back to reality for a second and listen - while it is always a delight to dream – and how you do like to spend your time with your spectacular head resting in your well-kept palm just engrossed in flights of fabulous fancy but, darling, dreaming is not doing no more, as I’ve already told you, than thinking is doing. But on the upside, sweetheart, dreaming is at least one step beyond thinking so this week begin set in motion the machinery needed to help you create that fabulous future fantastic. And as another great one while bedecked in feathered finery opined so long ago, “Don’t dream it, be it!”

So often we find ourselves yearning for something yet find ourselves completely ignorant of that which we so desire. It’s a longing for the unknown, an aching for the ambiguous or just a hunger that cannot be satiated. Well, darling, how melodramatic of me! Let me bring this back to a more basic level. I see you at a place of so many decisions and so many things that seem be out of your control and while the world, in its wearisome way, demands answers and results of you, you haven’t even an elucidation for your own queries and concerns, do you sweetheart? Trust me, honey, it is not as bad as all that. Pick up that well-well styled head of yours and consider this: looking for the unknown is like trying to find someone in the dark – and yes, we have all been there, darling! In that dark room you can run about flailing ones arms until you strike the person you seek or, you can sit still and let him/her find you. Both are not particular efficient methods but the latter method will result in less injury, sweetie. This week, baby, just relax; the answers will find you.

How the world enjoys the sight of you entering a room and how they also enjoy equally, darling, the pure propulsive energy you bring to any situation. But, as only those close to you know, sweetheart, this is only your public persona. I know, darling, that there is a lot more going on inside that well-coiffed head of yours. I also know that your intellectual pursuits are not something you care to discuss and one wonders why, darling, as you couple both creative and intellectualism in such a stylish and enticing manner! But, you know, sweetie, there is sometimes a down side to a person so multi-faceted as yourself and that is you seem to second guess yourself in matters of the heart and in that second guessing, my lovely Leo child, I want you to ask yourself this one question this week; is the thing/person that that occupies your mind most so very frequently going to help you become the person you want to be. Give it some thought, darling, and we’ll chat again next week

Oh dear, someone has fallen on the receiving end of what most people think is your complete indifference haven’t they, darling? Well, as you and I both know, sweetie, this is not so much indifference as it is your tendency to cut off and wall yourself from all the unnecessary drama and lately, well sweetheart, you have been getting more drama than an all male stage production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe! Now while, I myself am so much averse to drama and magic you, sweetie, are the type of person who likes to know how the magician’s trick is done. Others, however, like a little mystery in their lives and what you see as someone falling prey to trickery, others simply see it as being swept away in the enchantment. Pragmatism is indeed a great thing baby, but some of those closest to you are not subjects, they are human so please this week, darling, try a little patience and understanding when you think someone you care about is being a little ‘dramatic’ because from the other side of the picture, honey, drama is just a an act masquerading as the real thing. Think about it sweetheart!

While everyone is always appreciative of the physical wonders of my fabulous Libran children, you are, to the delight of those closest to you, a brain to behold, darling! Yes, you are the one dancing with thoughts and plans in your head – both literally and figuratively, honey! So, perhaps that is why you are still finding yourself alone in this post holiday lull. And if there is one thing about lulls, it gives the non-thinking time to rest and thinking more time to think! So unfair, I know, sweetie! So, while you trod through this cold and windy week, darling, consider this with that so very astute mind of yours; why are you always drawn to the freak and not the geek? No, I’m not calling you a geek, honey, it’s just that I want to reach with your well-developed thinking box of yours past the pulchritude and on to the sexy phrenic. Are you not sure of what I am saying, sweetie? I so trust you to look up!

So my marvellous Scorpion child, have you been checking out the world beyond your own boundaries as I’ve previous prescribed? Well, with as many things going on in your life right now, darling, I’ll give you wide grace to getting things off the ground! But please, sweetie, don’t wait too long or that little skirmish that is brewing within your own boundaries might flare up into something much more dire. Seriously honey, do you – or any of us - need any more stress in our lives? You are a tempestuous – albeit sexy - one I know and once you draw a line in the sand few would dare cross it, but sweetie, if you keep drawing lines in the sand you’re going to eventually end up in the ocean. My advice, listen more than you speak this week, sweetheart. It will serve two purposes if you do, darling, it will keep things at a controllable simmer and silence, which is indeed golden, is so often mistaken for profundity sweetie!

Oh my sweet, sexy Sagittarian child – how you do suffer for art and love all things imbued with a deeper sense of purpose and meaning: truly noble you are in your intents. I know it must be absolutely exhausting for you, sweetie, to bear such a mantle of nobility Atlas-like across your well formed shoulders but life is not all about beauty, in fact, in a cosmos so keen - practically obsessive - onbalance and equilibrium, beauty – no matter how you choose to define it – is but one half the story, darling! And while I think your zeal for all things cozy and warm to your heart is a marvellous blueprint for your life, sweetie, understand one thing in the coming week, there can be no pleasure without friction. Just relax, sit back and take it easy just for a brief respite my wondrous Sagittarian marvel! In the coming weeks doors are about to open for you, sweetie, and as any gracious lady knows, when a door is opened for you, you must walk through as ‘tis only polite, darling!

While you are not afraid of most things in this life sweetie, you are afraid of not being secure. Yes, my sweet Capricorn child, with all your talents and strengths, the thing that shakes you to your sexy core is the thought of being without a place and means. And let’s face it, sweetie, we all need a safe place to belong. Remember when you were a precocious child, honey, with all that unbound energy of both body and spirit? When you could take a simple bed sheet and become a fabulously caped superhero or, without pause, turn it into a fort strung between the dining room chairs? It is these carefree moments of our lives, honey, that prompted Ernest Dowson to remind us that, “They are not long, the days of wine and roses”. And while the carefree – and responsibility-free – days of youth are long past for many of us you have two choices in life; pine for them, or die young like dear old Dowson did. Now, darling, why do I conjure your halcyon days of yore? Well, sweetheart, seems to me, with all your worrying and fretting over security you may be cutting your days of wine and roses a little short! Sweetheart, relax and consider this: do the days of wine and roses even have to end?

Hello my darling Aquarius child. I have always been enamoured with your bohemian ways, darling. Few could resist your earthly charms could they? But lately it seems you have been keeping that bewitching mind of yours in the past for longer than what most would deem healthy, darling! There is an old expression – mine of course – that goes; only the unhappy are ever nostalgic. And there is some truth in that, sweetie but if one is not an entirely Xanax-numbed stepford child then constant and perpetual happiness is but a mere dream. So nostalgia is bound to creep in once in a while. And for you, darling, nostalgia is a journey that inevitably takes you back to the time when you could sleep in until noon, not shower for days and eat without gain or guilt. Oh my sweet, sometimes naïve, Aquarian baby who doesn’t wish for better days but, as you know, since the past is a place impossible to relive, the only better days are ahead of you sweetie!

My dear astute Pisces child – it is so good to see you again and you are looking very fetching darling! And what’s that fabulous glow all about you? Why I do believe you are fairly brimming with positive energy, sweetheart and my how well you wear it! You will find, sweetie, that with all the stamina of which you have been so gifted of late, there are those who want jump on board with you and ride your astonishing energy. But, sweetie, take heed this week - and while you are never averse to sharing - some people take more than is warranted and in the end, this may leave you devoid of that wonderful vigour of yours. So, honey, in the coming week keepmoving forward with your sexy positive momentum but make sure those around you are also pulling their own weight. Also, and I always delight in conveying such news, that effervescent energy you now have translates fantastically in bed sweetie so by all means, do not deny someone an amazing time, darling!

So, my beautiful children, stay healthy and well of both bidy and spirit and I'll see you all next week!

Kisses et P’tit becs,
Uranus!

Uranus Divine's 2008 Overview!

Hello my beautiful children – it has been far, far too long!

I know, I know, you have so many questions about where I’ve been and I’ve been up to these past few years and I will, in due time, darlings, fill you in on every salacious and salient detail of my own personal journey these past 8 years. Needless to say, sweethearts, that I have spread both myself and my wisdom far and afield and imparted to all who would listen that one must always keep their head up and their heels down.

So, rather than me prattling on and on and wearing off my lip gloss talking about me, let’s talk about you! While the calendar is usually nothing more than a slow moving clock, it tells us that 2008 has just begun and soon, according to the authority of my brilliant but overworked manicurist, we will soon be in the year of the rat. I also have it the same authority that this bodes well, darlings, but how so? Well, read on…

Oh yes, I forgot to mention darlings, beginning January 14th, 2008, you can your weekly dose of Divine every Monday!

__________________________________________________________________

Oh, my sexy Aries child… put down that increasingly heavy sense of indignation for a moment and listen. While you are so often a bundle of unfocused energy, 2008 promises (or threatens depending on one’s point of view) to finally reign in that maelstrom of a mind of yours. Yes, I know. You’ve worn that mantle of sexy bad boy/girl for so long now you're probably a little frightened of the idea of sticking to a singular thought or path but don’t worry, sweetheart, I’ll guide you along as best as I can. Greatness, as always for you fierce sexy Rams, is in your future and the future, as is its tiresome wont, sometimes happens instantly. I understand that for you, darling, methodology and practicality fit like non-half-size heels but bear with me, just take those well-formed hands of yours and grab at opportunity like it was that cute person on the edge of the dance floor. Grab him/her and spin, spin, spin for after all, just because you lack a sense of direction, doesn’t mean you lack a sense of purpose, baby.

Now, as in matters of the heart, and your heart of late has been heavier than most and well, that breaks my heart, sweetie. Uranus has known heartache and let me impart this small, soupcon of wisdom if I may. While the possibility of a long term relationship doesn’t look good for you in 2008 you will, on the other hand, meet a wonderful array of bright and interesting characters; some of whom promise to become fabulous friends. Just please, my little Ram, open yourself up to possibilities you’ve never allowed yourself before. It’s a bold and brash world out but as shiny as it is, it is not as shiny as your presence can make it.

Got get ‘em sweetheart!

The Energetic Aries Rat
Now! For all you Aries children of mine who were born in the year of the Rat here’s a quick overview. Oh dear, looks like 2008 might test your patience a little and as those who know you, know that well is pretty dry to begin with, darling. Perhaps best for you, honey, is to cut out some of life’s clutter and take a modicum of Thoreau - keep it simple sweetie.

__________________________________________________________________

My stalwart, trusting sweet, sweet Taurus child. Come here, Uranus has a confession to make – of all of my children, you are always the most difficult for me to impart any negative words. So, it’s is with a blossoming heart of sheer joy that that I tell you that 2008 is going to absolutely marvellous for you, darling! In the cosmic collage that is our lives you will be the fortunate recipient of your personal and spiritual needs being fulfilled. This is a time of new beginnings for you, sweetie, and while most people are fearful of the new and unknown, my fabulous Taurus child has never been coy about the undiscovered. And, yes, this is going to be a year of discovery for you and I know what great news that is to your precious ears. However, darling, take your time and try not to rush too quickly into the darkness. While the abyss promises excitement, sometimes the darkness serves as a cloak hiding the ugly and unattractive. So, on occasion, rather than struggle with trying to hail a cab after closing time, befriend the bartender and enjoy another martini, by the time it takes you to finish it the sky will have lightened with the promise of new day.

How will my Taurean baby do in love this year? Well, looks like a new person is about to enter your life in 2008, sweetheart, and why wouldn't it? You are a creature of passion and you exude a slight but oh so sexy hint of danger that so often has the world fawning at your well-planted feet. How you proceed is up to you of course but always keep this in mind, sweetie, and while it is rarely my inclination to use a racing metaphor, you operate in top gear while most of the planet seems quite comfortable in neutral – it would be wise for you to figure out if someone is sharing your life’s journey or just being towed behind you.

The Sexy Taureran Rat
2008 promises wonder for you my sweet, although sometimes intimidating, Taurean Rat child! It is your mind people are most drawn to but don’t let that be your excuse for not hitting the gym once in a while. Yes, yes, I know that working out is essentially sweat without love but since your year promises a merging of all your energies don’t be blind to your weaker aspects in the shining light of your oh so strong ones!

Hello my darling Gemini child! Yes, I agree, it has been too long. One of my favourite things about you, sweetheart. is your ability to think – you are such a fabulous thinker and we have all benefited at one time or another from your wonderful cerebral prowess. 2008, promises a rare and precious opportunity as the thoughts that fly around in your wonderfully developed mind will find purchase in the financial. Could it be, my fair and cogitative Gemini child that someone is finally willing to pay you for what seems to come so effortlessly to you, sweetheart! However, and you well know this darling, that thinking is not doing and why, do you suppose, that you find yourself so much more at home in your thoughts but seem to lack such comfort in the corporeal? Could it be fear? Yes, I know very well that thinking about swimming doesn’t run the risk of drowning but neither does it run the risk of getting wet either and let’s face it, baby, you look fabulous wet! So, in 2008, jump in, get wet and enjoy because while some think you are of a duplicitous nature, I consider you the finest example of the existential dyad and your two solitudes of both mental and physical and been too long separated sweetie!

Ok, what can my Gemini baby expect for 2008 when it comes to le cause amour? Like all people at ease with and in their thoughts, you have no trouble expressing your deepest desires with those you are comfortable with but, honey, it’s not all about words and feelings. Sometimes is a little dirtier. Perhaps it is this old soul speaking who remembers when the air was clean and the sex was dirty but, baby, in 2008, you will need, in matters of love, a little less Shelly and little more Bacchus but if you wish to proceed more cautiously, sweetheart, then may I suggest Dionysus for starters.

The Persuasive Gemini Rat
If you could please stop being distracted by that shiny object for a moment I have something to convey to my articulate and wonderfully romantic Gemini child! 2008 is going to a year of important decisions for you my Gemini Rat child and some of them serious, hair-deflating choices. You have a great bevy of friends all around your charming self – trust them this year darling!

My tenacious and self-assured Cancer sweetheart! How have you been? Not so well..? So very sorry to hear that but 2007 has been positively rapacious at steeling away joy from some of my dearest ones. Anyhow, darling, 2008 promises to be a year of change for you and that change will start in a deep and perhaps overlooked part of yourself – and that’s you emotional side. Yes yes, I know, sweetie, that you often feel that being a strong, smart and charming soul gets you through life’s travails but sometimes, at the end of a long, exhausting day one is forced to ask oneself if one is simply putting a band aid over a haemorrhaging heart? It is time to tend to your most basic emotional needs, sweetie, and 2008 will be a great year for it! Being one of my more delightfully stylish children with a decided flair for the gourmand and epicurean - which is why everyone loves to spend time with you! – in 2008, I want you to take stock of all those things in your life and if it is not brand toss it out! It is no longer the time for cheap knock-offs baby and, as harsh as this seems, this also applies to your ‘friends’. Trust me, sweetie, you already know who they are. As I am a visceral creature at heart I’ll summarize 2008 with this: I see you sitting beachside, shaded by a well-fruited palm, sipping something clever and delicious and umbrella-ed and enjoying life as only a truly sybaritic child of the cosmos can. I’ll be joining you there, darling!

So, while you can sweat and dance and love with the best of them (hell, sweetie, you’ve taught most on them how!) you are, at your heart a person who enjoys life’s simple pleasure in matters of the heart. Your issue, as it is for so many, has always been one of trust so, in the absence of trust, you, like so many do, opt for the temporary. And yes, it is fun but after a while one needs to put her well-turned legs up and recline in comfort. Loving the cozy as you do may I suggest you mediate on the following, “what’s keeps me from what I want?” Pardon’s my crypticism here but trust me, sweetie, give it a try.

The Attention Seeking (and always finding) Cancerian Rat
While all of my striking Canercian children are on a quest for all of life’s wonderful luxuries there are none more equipped and skilled than my Cancerian Rats! However, this is not a year for materialism, I’ll give you a second to pick that well-worked jaw up off the keyboard and live with that for a moment. Ok, ready..fabulous… 2008 is, for all Canercians, a year of emotional tending and mending – friendship and family (no, the two are not one in the same for you I realise) are key so no matter how you choose to define them – trust in your family, sweetheart, in 2008.

It has been often said, mostly by me of course, that there is no such thing a Leo who is not in love. And you, my sweet and loving, Lion child idolise those you care about and idealise romance to the point that Harlequin may find it a bit over the top. And while it may be an absolutely wonderful time basking in the glow of your warmth, others, sweetie, find they are simply being eclipsed by your sun. So, in 2008, you may want to consider letting those closest to you – they are easy to spot as they are often squinting or wearing sunglasses in your presence – shine a little themselves. How, darling, how does one accomplish this? There are two ways as I see it, you can turn down your brilliance or show those you love how shine as brightly as you. Being as lion-esque as you are I know you have no intention of turning down your glorious light so guess what you’ll be doing in 2008, honey? …indeed, you are going to share you immense capacity for love and teach those you care about to shine. Which brings us to another question (oh my, so many questions for you!) how do you teach others shine? While I cannot give you the definitive answer sweetheart, I do offer this lovely quote I once read from washroom stall, “There is no darkness so great that a single candle can’t break”. I trust you to know what to do with it.

My lovely lion, since your life and your loves are so very intertwined how can I elaborate on what I have already said? While you are very much a candles and wine type of person, have you thought, darling, that maybe, just maybe, you may wanna up the ante a little? You have never been shy about pouring your heart into your love but in 2008, trying being a tad more corporeal - I want you to pour that well-crafted body of yours into your love life. Your partner(s) will so very much appreciate it for while wine and candles may cause the lips to lie, there is no drink so strong, no evening so enchanted that can make the raw, naked body as disingenuous. Get a little dirty this year, honey!

The Romantic Leo Rat
My mysterious and dynamic Leo Rat – how could 2008 not be good for you, sweetie? This is going to a year of unrelenting success for you, providing you recognise that which needs the most attention. It is also going to a year that completely redefines what ‘success’ means to you, darling.

__________________________________________________________________

It is always a pleasure to speak with you my deceptively demure Virgo child! So many people see you as being a person of class and dignity but underneath that carefully moisturised skin you and I both know you are a rose with particularly sharp thorns. And while the world delights in you sarcastic wit – as well they should for no one can turn a tale so adeptly as you sweetie - 2008 may find you on another path; one very unlike that which your well-supported feet have previously trodden. This year you will find yourself completely caught off guard with the discovery of your new, unbridled and passionate creativity, darling! And while exploring your newfound innovatorial pursuits you will be getting your well-trimmed fingernails a little dirty. Oh don’t be so shocked by this news – you will be far more shocked by the fact that you are going to absolutely love these new artistic quests. The biggest reward for you this year, my sweet Virgo child, is that your new creative endeavours will open a whole world of new experiences and new people and you will flourish and express yourself not only in wonderful ways, but to new and wonderful people. Whew, what a year for you! Wow, I think I need a drink!

Despite your habit of falling asleep during sex this year does hold some interesting new trysts for you darling. The one thing that has been missing in your life – deny this all you will but you know it to be true sweetheart – is a truly harmonious relationship. Perhaps it is your fierce streak of independence, perhaps it is your misanthropic nature or maybe it is just because you are bored honey! Well, in exploring new paths in 2008 you will discover people the likes of which you have never known and while at first you may be a little apprehensive and even overwhelmed, by the end of the this wonderfully thrilling year, baby, your natural wit will only be equalled by your attractiveness to someone quite…well… you know how to finish that sentence yourself by then. Just try to stay awake for when it happens, darling.

The Witty Virgo Rat
You are more organised than most and you have an eye for detail – provided they are not being utilised in your own life my funny little Virgo Rat! Since this year is a year of fabulous changes for all Virgos you, as a stubborn Rat, will find the transition a little more difficult that your brothers and sisters, sweetie. If you find this year a bit trying at times just know it is just bitter medicine and the rewards will be even greater for the effort – otherwise, just sleep in until August, honey.

__________________________________________________________________

Put down that swiffer and come listen to me my cogent little Libran! I know you feel that life is all about balance, sweetheart, and that 2007 was a year of extremes for you – which, in its own wearisome way, is a form of balance but not the kind you like - or are even able – to embrace. Perhaps, darling, this is why you now feel the need to detach yourself from the every day drudgeries of the world. Well, if you have begun this detachment then you are already halfway there sweetie! While 2008 may be a year that is a little more trying for Librans than others, you must know by now that as precocious and social as you are you have no room for the banal. So think of it this way: you are not cutting yourself off from the world, sweetie, you are cutting yourself off from the mundane and that, especially for my beautiful Librans, is a great thing! You have wasted far too much of life’s precious energy on things that are of little consequence in the end so I want you to turn that well-glossed frown upside down honey! I want you to take all that soon to be freed up energy and do something as fabulous as only my Libran children can and just for once forget about all things having to be in balance for and let the scales tips at their whim…steady on now, I know that must have frightened you, sweetie, but trust that the scales, no matter how mutable, always find their center and you will too find your gorgeous center once again in 2008.

Surprisingly, relationships have never been easy for you have they? You possess all the charm and beautiful the rest of us can either dream about or have to paint on yet you so often find yourself alone. It is not that you do not like the idea of finding someone who could become the delightful yin to your gorgeous yang it’s just that your preconception of what complements you best is so stringent, honey! It’s a wonder anyone cold find their way through your tightly woven filter. But, sweetheart, here’s the good news, in 2008, with your new energies just laying around not being entirely used up for cleaning the house and organising the closets, you will feel the need to get out there and explore a wider world and to that I say brava, darling! You don’t have to lower your dizzyingly high standards, sweetie, just broaden the net you cast by meeting new people and, if you keep your perfectly-plucked eyes keen, honey, that equally discerning amour will come into your life. Now, get back to conquering that layer of dust you’ve been exhaustively battling all morning sweetie!

My Beautiful Libran Rat
You are a smooth one aren’t you? So delightfully affable, cultured and always so impeccably dressed – why, I’m falling in love with you as I write this! In 2008, since you are so very crafty and skilled at presenting yourself to the word, I do believe that this year would be a great on for you to help others present their best selves as well. Perhaps a career in PR or advertising might be in order, darling! Who am I kidding – you already work in PR!

__________________________________________________________________

Oh please, darling, calm down a moment will you! I know you feel that if your hand in not on it then it – whatever it is – it surely must be flying far and asunder. My dear, so often misunderstood, Scorpion child, what am I to do with you? Yours is a mind so keen, so very sharp that one feels compelled to be cautious around it so I suspect your, sometimes caustic, wit is a small price to pay for being in the presence of genius. Or, perhaps, darling, it is just that your mind, so beautiful in it’s complexity, can never sit still long enough for you to find that tranquility you so desperately seek. In 2008, while you will maintain you great curiosities about the spiritual you will also venture into the philosophical. A fabulous brain like yours needs company, honey – equal company and there are few who could hold their own with you. In your new pursuits of the philosophical this year, darling, I want to think less introspectively and more outwardly. Besides, you can only hold the mirror up to yourself for so long before you start noticing all the things you dislike about yourself and that will only lead to a self-obsession and, trust me, sweetheart, the only obsession you should be dealing with is of the Calvin Klein variety! So, in 2008, look a little more outward and forward and just a wee bit less inward and see what you’ve been missing, darling!

The dichotomy of my brazen and intellectual Scorpios is that they are - to everyone’s surprise and delight - absolute animals in bed. You are a sexual being so beyond anything that lovely fellow Freud could have ever envisioned in his most psychotropic morphine-fuelled dreams, darling! Two things, however, always clash when you end up in a relationship and that is that tiresome battle you wage between your overactive intuitive side and your soft idealist side. Oh, darling, I know you know what I mean but the simple fact of the matter is that while you dream of a perfect partnership, your well-toned gut always has a way of making you second guess everything and this so often leads to resentment and jealousy. However, my clever one, in 2008 things are about to change for you. The separate parts of you world, which you tend to keep so neatly compartmentalised, are about to merge into something glorious, sweetie! You are about to learn how to exhibit that fantastic sexual energy to everyone around you in a completely non physical/sexual manner! Only in this way, sweetie, can all of those who have not actually had the exhausting pleasure of going to be with you, see what a magical creature you truly are!

My SexuLectual Scorpion Rat
2008 is going to be an emotional year for you. Oh, no need for the concern, darling, this can only be a good thing trust me. Most who have the pleasure of knowing a Scorpio Rat know what fabulously strong people they are and often rely of their strength, but, honey, after having the world lean on you don’t you feel a little bit tired? In 2008 you will demonstrate some of your weaknesses and in doing so astound us all by showing the world what a strong person you truly are, darling! Oh yeah…I almost forgot – this year you will be having the most amazing sex you’ve ever had… just fyi, sweetheart.

__________________________________________________________________

It must be difficult for you to be as beautiful as you are, my sweet Centaur Sagittarius child. You also know far too well that beauty is a burden - for while the world gapes in awe at the splendour of you, you know too well that their eyes are blinded by pulchritude and cannot see past that fabulously-sculpted body of yours. For if they could see past sweetie, they would see a heart and mind rich in values and ideas. In 2008, the best quest for you, honey, is to embrace more closely that which you adore. Bring into the fold of your strong arms people and things that cause you untethered joy and exquisite pleasure. But, here’s the catch, you can no longer use these pleasures to shield yourself against those things that give you grief or cause you fear. I know, I know you are about to protest in your famously persuasive manner what I just said, which is part of that friendly charm of yours. But, darling, if you are to extract the best of 2008 you must learn to accept the unknown and stop shielding – or medicating – yourself with your own pleasures. I have always felt, my dear sweet Sagittarian child, that you suffer from a sense that the forces of mediocrity are conspiring to keep you down. I have never known a force so great that could keep you from anything for your charm, persuasiveness indomitable spirit is, and always will be sweetheart, one of the greatest force in the cosmos. So, in 2008, honey I want you to focus far less on pleasures and much, much more on your desires. No, honey, they are not the same thing.

My effusive Sagittarian child, you fall in love so readily and so effortlessly. Of course, you fall out of love with equal guile. I look at you, darling, and I see someone for whom romance means such a great deal and you hold it in very high esteem. But, honey, perhaps you have over-romanticised romance? So, how does 2008 look for you, my beautiful Sagittarius child? How can I put this gently to you, sweetie? You know, I never enjoy being the bearer of ill tidings…but of course there is no trials without rewards so let’s start there. 2008 will be the year in which you learn the most you have ever learned about yourself in matters of love. It is with this knowledge that by the end of this highly educational and growing year, my darling, that you will know more than ever what is good for you and what isn’t. And that, sweetie, is a fantastic and wonderful gift. On the flip side of this you must know one thing, even the princess, despite her fabulous wardrobe and enviable social standing, had to kiss a lot of frogs before she found her prince charming.

My Charming Sagittarian Rat
There are none more perceptive than you, my wonderful Sagittarian Rat. There is also none more prone to wandering and have no qualms about pulling up roots and seeking something – anything – new. But in 2008 remember this my darling, newer is not always (often never) better and the best cure you may want to consider for your itchy feet is a nice, long hot bath – preferably with company. You are perceptive enough to know this already, sweetheart.

__________________________________________________________________

Oh my, the child of the cosmos that always puts a smile on my face – my darling, talented Capricorn baby! I have always been so impressed and so proud of the fact that you back down from no challenge. In fact, darling, you love a good battle don’t you? It is a most admirable trait to feel so confident that no challenge is beyond your bold grasp to be sure. But, it does beg a question doesn’t it, sweetie? Who are you trying to impress with all your conquests? I hope that didn’t sound too harsh sweetheart as I know what sensitive soul you can be but understand that I say what I say only to help. You, my dear child, radiate such positive energy that people simply need to be around you – and seriously, honey, who doesn’t like to keep an audience. But have you ever considered that you have crafted your own identity through the many eyes of those who adore you, sweetheart? 2008 is going to be a year of personal identity for you, darling, and while most people would see that as a daunting notion I know that your sexy fortitude and personal spirit is not even flinching. Who could not love you! So, in 2008, think about the person you think you are and ask yourself if that's the person you’ve always wanted to become. If yes, then teach us all, honey – if no, then let your journey of personal discovery begin.

There is nothing greater in my wonderful Capricorn children that there sense of independence. It is that rugged and sexy individualism, while you do tend to play it sheepish and coy at time, that makes people love you. But, as you well know, darling, your strong sense of independence has proven a bit of burden in your past relationships – even friendships. So, what if I were to tell you sweetie, that 2008 promises the opportunity for you to find someone in whom you have always desired. No, it’s not a perfect, well-rounded tush, not broad, supportive shoulders, not a sensual mouth or even understanding eyes. So, what is it, baby, that you seek in someone that you have always longed for? Yes, 2008 promises you the opportunity to meet someone who ‘gets it’! How exciting for you! A perfectly mated Capricorn (and, it is an odd quirk of the cosmos that Capricorns are the only souls that can be perfectly mated) is a positive force that benefits us all! And, while you have often seen yourself in matters of the heart as a work in progress, I hope you are ready to see what the final, complete you is like, darling!

My Confident Capricorn Rat!
Is there nothing you cannot do, sweetheart? Your tenacity and industrious spirit is that which so often carries the crowd and far too often too many take credit for you labours, This will not do in the least, honey! While you are not the most sentimental of creatures, darling, in 2008 it is time for you to take stock of yourself and all that have accomplished and I want you to reflect on the beauty that is you in this world! Your ship, which you no doubt built yourself, is about to come in. sweetie, quelle joi!

__________________________________________________________________

My dear, wondrous and performing Aquarius child, how you do like an audience! The most marvellous thing about you of course if that while you do love the spotlight you are not in any way self-centered, sweetheart. You care far too much about those in your life – and even those you don’t even know – to be all about you! 2008 looks so very positive for you, darling, in the areas in which you excel - creativity, expression and philanthropy. But, have you even considered, sweetie, that perhaps the way in which you so delightfully express yourself might be in need of a serious tune up? I know, who could imagine needing improvement in your expressive manners but sometimes even the best situations need a little shaking up. And that’s what I want from you this year, darling, I want you to shake things up in your life! You enjoy life so very much and to its absolute fullest and no one can compete with you marvellous libertine style but there is a greater good beyond the next party, sweetheart, and I want you to ponder how you could harness that fantastic joi de vivre of yours and turn it towards something substantial! Are you not sure what exactly that substantial thing should be, well… how about this for starters; think of the thing most important in your life, honey, the one thing you would not trade for anything. Got it? Great, now take that feeling and turn it into something everyone you meet can tap into. Trust me, you will work wonders – it is like performing on a whole new cosmic level, sweetheart!

So, what can my fluidic Aquarian child expect in the love department in 2008? Passion, sweetheart, nothing but pure, raw, unadulterated passion! Whew, think I need to catch my breath here, baby! You have always given so much of yourself when it comes to other people's needs and it is always so very much appreciated. Now, don’t you think it’s time you took care of just a few of your own needs? Darling, you have to know that there is a person out there – who knows – that person may already be in your life – who can match your insanely wild energy and match wits with your delightfully jocular mind! And my sources are telling me, sweetie, that that person is beckoning in 2008! But wait, what’s this I see? Are you afraid of finding that person? No worries, honey, this person will find you and you seem to have little to say in the matter. Enjoy the ride, darling!

My Entertaining Aquarian Rat!
You are an unusually impulsive creature aren’t you my beautiful Aquarian child! 2008 offers you something a tad bit foreign, at least to you, the chance to think about yourself rather than the betterment of the world. Ok, darling, I know you have been trying to make this planet a better place for everyone and I’m sure that’s just been exhausting, honey, but everyone will benefit if you just make it a better place for you, sweetie!

__________________________________________________________________

Oh put down that book for a second a listen to me my most studious and well-informed of all my cosmic children! Listen, sweetie, no one more than me appreciates the need to be well informed and kept abreast of all the latest news. And there is no zodiacal projection that I endorse that would suggest you do otherwise, darling. You are a creature of immense curiosity and your capacity for wonder is a marvel to behold – at least before noon, darling. You are also a creature of tremendous courage and in 2008 courage is what you are going to need the most of, sweetie. No, I am not saying that there is a year of travails in front of you, sweetheart, just a year of questions. Courage for questions you ask? Well, yes, because these questions, if you are honest with yourself (and I know you always are) will challenge some of your most sacred ideas, sweetheart. I expect that when you are faced with these questions through situations that fall well out of your immense and far reaching control, it will make you think about your place in life, on this earth and in the universe. But, fret not, your fantastic skills at math will so be put to good use! By year’s end, a higher, shinier, more glamorous version of you will emerge, darling!

Well, my Piscean child, how you adore the quiet, intimate moments that make you feel all is well in the world. In love yours is a spiritual quest and up until now you have always trusted your intuition to make the right decisions in relationships. Has you intuition always be right, honey? Well, I’m sure most times it has been but what, just for a moment, you put your analytical gut of yours on hold just to see what happens. If you didn’t trust your intuition in the area of love would you foresee disaster and chaos? Well, guess what, sweetie, chaos is what love is all about! Love is not measurable and quantifiable and I want you to bear that in mind by mid year when someone enters your life just fairly brimming over sexual chaos. It may seem absolutely daunting to you at first but you have an impulsive side that is practically unused so give it a test drive – I promise you, it will return fabulous dividends, darling!

My Courageous Piscean Rat
Oh my conscientious and compassionate Piscean Rat child, how you do feel that you have so much to offer but lack, inexplicably, the strength to offer it. If there is one thing I have learned in my storied time on this planet is that my Pisces children have more strength than most! So, in 2008, my incisive Piscean Rat child I want you to toss aside your completely ridiculous and unfounded notions of inferiority and step into the light! In 2008, yours is not a mission of self discovery but of self recovery, darling!

__________________________________________________________________

So, my beautiful children, it looks like 2008 is a year of change for everyone and one hopes - as is always the way of hope - that these changes are for the better. Now, I’m off to soak myself in something hot and foamy – extra points to those of you who know I’m not referring to a bubble bath - see you next week!

Kisses et P’tit becs,
Uranus!
