Gambling
With the Temptations
of the Cosmos
by
Brett M. Clark
There is probably
no better time as
now to deal with issues
of change and opportunity.
We truly live in a
World of Uncertainty,
yet we should not
look at this with
skepticism or fear,
as some unenlightened
individuals may do,
but rather as a time
to dig deep into ourselves
for creative decision
making. Jupiter provides
these opportunities
now as it makes contacts
with Uranus (change),
Neptune (idealism)
and Pluto (power),
where the contact
is most potent. It
is a time to separate
the ideal from the
real; courage, hope
and dreams from disillusionment,
hesitation and fear.
Fortunately, Jupiter
goes retrograde on
December 4 and becomes
direct again in April
2003, when we will
have the time to re-examine
these issues before
we go out half-cocked
making misguided decisions.
With the empowerment
of Pluto aspecting
Jupiter, utilizing
personal power or
influence must be
exercised with prudence
and discrimination.
Saturn's contact
with Uranus allows
us to embrace and
respect change slowly
in a way that is not
destructive to the
parts of our lives
we value, while at
the same time it gives
us the courage to
shed those things
that hinder our ability
to obtain personal
happiness and success.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
Happy Birthday
to you, Sagittarius!
And what a fabulous
time it is to be one
as Jupiter, your ruler,
presents you with
some unexpected opportunities.
The issues mentioned
above especially apply
to you. So many things
to decide about and
not enough time? Not
true, dear Archer.
Take your time. Do
your homework, consult
your friends, and
especially your partner
(be it your life or
business partner)
before making hasty
decisions or conclusions.
Feedback is very important
now. The mind is so
active with perceived
possibilities and
ideas that the little
mouse is subject to
falling off the wheel.
Maybe you desire more
freedom and some change
because you feel like
you're in a rut?
Probably so, but proceed
with caution. Think
about how your actions
affect others. Don't
be selfish, it could
sting you months later.
Spend time understanding
your established relationships.
Some partnership issues
that previously alluded
you may suddenly become
resolved from a spark
of intuitiveness and
soul-searching. Future
experience comes with
personal power but
also with responsibilities.
Financial or business
ideas presented to
you might best be
resolved with input
from a Capricorn.
Your cautiousness
will pay off later
and people will respect
you. You'll be
glad you didn't
squander your resources,
including protecting
your physical health.
A healthy Sag shoots
the arrow to its appropriate
destination the first
time!
Capricorn
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
You'll spend much energy on the job and
career and forging
effective partnerships
with people. Working
on a secret project
until you obtain the
final results could
surprise your superiors
or
your competitors later
on. Keeping things
in balance may lead
you to devote more
time to friends and
social contacts. Maybe
you've denied
yourself certain personal
pleasures and now
the sacrificial goat
becomes the self-indulgent
goat. It's ok.
You have needs. Financial
schemes may come your
way, but the legal
aspect may take some
more tinkering. Money
comes and goes, but
with the holiday season
that's easy to
do.
Aquarius
(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
Your
skills at being a
social charmer have
suddenly become recognized
and are more in public
view. Perhaps Uranus
in your first house
has really sparked
your uniqueness making
it more noticeable.
Take advantage of
it. New friends may
come into the picture,
some very powerful
or influential in
some way. The beginning
of a new intimate
relationship could
happen now, or the
reawakening of an
existing one. Make
sure you present yourself
clearly and distinctly
- sometimes others
may not understand
you right away, especially
when your behavior
or response to others
is so unexpected.
Spirituality and personal
charisma continue
to be obvious as Neptune
in Aquarius grows
conspicuous. People
may think, “my
goodness, why haven't
we met before?”
You continue to work
hard, but you may
need to look at who
you are working for
and if you are being
appreciated.
Pisces
(Feb. 19 - March 20)
The experience
you have gained in
your work situation
is providing new insight
on how it should be
changed. You feel
more empowered, thanks
to Pluto, to make
the changes. All of
a sudden, the guilt
or martyr complex
that allowed others
to manipulate you
has disappeared. People
may be shocked about
this. You're in
control now, whether
you realize it or
not. Being complacent
or lazy is the worst
thing you could possibly
do at this point;
take advantage of
everything, but stay
focused. You will
learn to settle and
deal with frustrations
and obligations on
the home front. Your
intuition on how friends
can help will smoothe
out the rough spots.
Aries
(March 21 - April
19)
Relationships
are a big focus this
month. The need for
harmonious contacts
with people does not
prevent you from bashing
your horns on someone
who tries to get bossy
or demonstrates unjustifiable
behavior. Your philosophy
about many things
in life is going through
a quiet revolution.
Priorities are changing,
and sometimes this
means old friends
may fade out of the
picture, but there
are new ones coming
in. A little traveling
right now could be
very meaningful and
refreshing.
