ARIES
March 21-AprU 1*
This cycle could find you letting things get somewhat out of control. That
is, your control when you “let your head fly off at the handle," as the old folks
used to say. The reason being that you can get more from honey than from
vinegar. The Full Moon may find you in a little of a crunch; however, as you
let go... let God... all is well.
TAURU8
April M-May M
Follow your intuition and let things go forth. When you act too pushy and
don’t allow the other to get a word in, then things can get somewhat out of
hand. Patience on this full moon. Use the subtle approach and things may get
better.
GEMINI
May U4in 21
Could be that you are feeling that Lady Luck is there now for you,
however the stars say wait. There is a better time and let not your hand
reflect the motion of your mind. Think first, then act. This Full Moon should
see you from behind the scene. And you may come out smelling like roses
after all. _
CANCER
Jane 22-July 22
Your creative button is being pushed now and on this Full Moon you may
see the results of long-awaited actions. Although the time to move forward is
on the horizon, now is the time to control. Your intuition is great, so follow it.
LEO
Jaly 23-Aug. 22
Yes, Leo, full speed ahead when it comes to what you think is just.
However, as this Full Moon comes in, your emotions may be aroused so be
calm and collected and the best will flow to you. Relax a little and let some fun
into your life. Work will always be there.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Why let some distractions cause you to brood over what could have been?
Let this cycle find you on the go and draw to you the very best of energies that
could make a difference in your life. This Full Moon may be just what you’ve
needed to bring things out in the open and this way you can move on. Give it
time and all is well.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 23
Perhaps you will have to make a difference in the budget by pulling in
your purse strings. However, in the long run things will come out better for
you. It’s time to put $$$ matters in a new perspective. Could be that your part
ner’s ideas are okay.
SCORPIO
Oct. 24-Nov. 22
Yes, you can have your own opinion, however there is a time and a place
for everything under the sun and this time as this Full Moon touches you may
be better for you to stay in the background and just hold your peace and feel
the balance and not let your moods catch you in an unexpected way. Relax
and take a nice “bath.”
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 23-Dec. 21
Ideas do flow easily to you and perhaps you do miss some of the small
details. However, when you let others in to help you, there will be a compli
ment to the conclusion and you will find all of your projects going well. Help is
needed sometimes and to let your emotions cause you to waste energy on
“Why... why...,*’ give it up and let it be.
CAPRICORN
Dee. 22-Jan. it
You are always on the go and for sure this cycle will find you tuning up for
another run. However, take time to smell the roses and watch—things will be
better than you thought. A good night's sleep may help the morning look bet
ter. —
AQUARIUS
Jan. tt-Feh. M
Sometimes when things go through changes they help one look and move
forth in a new direction and just that is what can happen as this Full Moon
comes in. Just be on guard to the gateway of your mind and let not thing* of
the past trip you up. Many times when you look to the east you will soon notice
that the sun sets in the west and perhaps that is where your answer is on this
Full Moon. Peace is your key.
PISCES
Feb. IS-March 2S
Keep an eye on where your assets are and where you may need to tighten
your reins. Budget is important sometimes and helps you see exactly where
you are. The Full Moon may bring to you just what you wanted to bear and it
looks like the news is favorable, especially around the 30th. Be calm and
that’s your key.
Here we are at gardening time and for sure we shall have an abundant
crop this year. This Full Moon Is a good time for planting and for sure the
crops will be strong. Keep your head on and don’t get caught in negative
energy. Take a nice bath and read yonr favorite book (Psalms 2, 23, 27. 51).
