Weekly Horoscope for Friday, March 4, 2011, #851 - BY ERIC FRANCIS

Eric's Zodiac Sign Descriptions

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You may have some wild dreams, and most of them are possible. Yet as you activate your potential you're also likely to activate your fear. Here is something to consider: Fear showing up in the same approximate gesture as desire is one of the main excuses for people to deny what they want and to stuff down their potential. You're in an extended phase when nearly all of your potential becomes available. At the same time you're going to encounter your shadow material. You will make use of your potential by consciously processing your fear, guilt and denial. At the moment things may arise in a mixture that is challenging to sort, though the main character traits you will depend on are willingness and faith. When you're wondering which is true, your potential or your fear, ask yourself: which do I want to be true?

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You are more than a detached bystander; you're a direct participant in whatever game you're playing, whatever goal you have or whatever process you're part of. I suggest that rather than deny your influence or the value of your experience, affirm these things regularly, and go on learning. Talent is not a destination, it's something that you keep on growing and developing. That's to say, it's not about a goal, but rather an ongoing process of becoming. When you make this shift, you take yourself out of a linear process. That will save you from going in straight lines, as well as straight up hills, and it may go a long way toward preventing you from running in circles. Think of yourself as rippling out from a pond or exploring a labyrinth. Be alert for when you -- or anyone else -- thinks something original.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- There are times in life when you have to take authority, and this is one of them. I suggest, however, that you not announce this fact, but rather allow it to be. There are many people involved, and some of them think they're more experienced or have more authority than you do. Everyone needs to be treated differently, that is, uniquely; and in every case I suggest you honor who they think they are rather than who you think they are. This is Politics 101, and it helps to go into the game with a plan. The implication is to know both your perceptions and the self-perceptions of the ones you're in some way dealing with. When it comes to matters of authority, power and politics, perception is most of the game. That includes when people underestimate you, which is precisely what will serve to your advantage. Just be sure of one thing -- that you don't overestimate yourself. With the South Node now in your sign, your own past might become a factor. Therefore, be humble, and work for the common good To order Light Bridge, your full-length 2011 reading including written and audio segments for Gemini, please go to this link.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You may believe that what you want is far away in space or in time. I would say it's closer than you think, and if you can tune your feelings to reflect that, you will get some confirmation. By tune your feelings, I mean feeling a sense of faithful anticipation, pleasure or attractiveness. Allow yourself into the possibility that the circumstances of your life are working together to help you manifest your desire. You can feel your desire to accelerate that, and I suggest you feel the pleasure of contact a little in advance. Visualize in all your senses, and in detail -- you certainly have the imaginative power at the moment, only it's about a lot more than 'mere' imagination: what you are experimenting with is the process of conscious manifestation, which always begins with a vision of some kind. Once you have the vision, you're close to the reality. To order Light Bridge, your full-length 2011 reading including written and audio segments for Cancer, please go to this link.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Belief is taking on a particularly powerful role in your relationships, be they business or deeply personal. Mostly this is about the belief in commitment and how this manifests as commitment. You get to start by having faith in the people around you. One property to the evolution happening in your life is how all of your meaningful relationships are essentially in the same category: that is to say, meaningful. These are the ones that you have an unusual ability to shape with your ideas about them. Once you discover this property of thought, that's a good time to express a vision for the relationship. A vision would be anything that you want, anywhere you want to go, anything you want to do. It's true that this is influenced by the people with whom you share energy. But in the first instance, I suggest you be honest about what you want and see who shows up or rises to the calling.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Well, you don't need me to tell you that your relationships are showing up in a whole new way. You may need to filter out some static to get to the music: people you don't quite want but who want you; desire that comes in an unappealing form; those who don't give you enough space. Move through those factors quickly and efficiently so you don't miss the good stuff: the people who are willing to dare, the ones whose desire speaks to you emotionally, in a specific way. There may be more than one person, by the way -- and if you need permission, you have it. Be receptive to what the wildly diverse human race has to offer and closer to home, be open to the different ways you want to relate to others. Some will speak in words, some in feelings and others in a method or approach to life. You will know who you can relate to by how you feel in their presence.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Do you have this sneaking feeling that you're being asked to give up something so that you can have a secure home? That's what it looks like. If you remember that you can have a secure home anyway, you won't feel so compromised. That could make a big difference; acting voluntarily rather than feeling in any way coerced. You may also be aware of how honoring your deep nesting instinct requires you to live a certain way, within certain constraints -- but I would propose that you have more flexibility in this mode than you may have guessed previously. There's also more respectability than we tend to think is available to those for whom home and relationship are authentic life priorities. It's true that you have other ways that you express devotion and service, and part of what you're learning is the necessity for creating balance among the most meaningful facets of your life.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- I have been emphasizing the theme of erotic experience. Mars has now made its way into Pisces, which is the lush, imaginal, erotic angle of your solar chart. Chiron arrived a few weeks ago, so you have a combination of energies that is driving your desire and your curiosity. The interesting thing about sex in our era is how much of it happens with digital assistance. These transits are encouraging you to use your own imagination (rather than that of some producer somewhere), your senses and your body. Chiron is reminding you that the way to free up healing energy and pleasure is to allow yourself to be inquisitive and to approach all matters of sexuality as if they're an experiment. You can think of what you don't know, and what you don't know about yourself, as your friends. Imagination and reality are closer than they've ever been, though I suggest you lean gently into the physical world of contact and sensation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- I pay close attention to the kids in my environment; it's part out of fascination with human nature and part about being protective. Here is what I've noticed: Kids truly appreciate being acknowledged as people. Noticing their existence in a non-patronizing way, such as simply saying hello to them, is meaningful -- more than you may have imagined. That is, unless you remember those who acknowledged your existence when you were young and so many people treated you as if you were invisible. You are in a phase of your life where you're embarking on a kind of second childhood. This is about experimentation, creativity, pushing boundaries and enjoying the freedom of curiosity. While you're on this journey, notice who notices and acknowledges your existence. When you're in an open and loving state, those are the friends you need.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- What do you make? If you want a question by which to guide your career, that's the one. Think deep on this. What is the product of the work you do? Let's pretend you're a lawyer. You could say your product is legal briefs and arguments, or you could say your product is justice (or at least satisfied clients). If you're an artist, you could say you make paintings, but you also help co-create the responses that people have to your work. Your career is a generative process. That is the thing to remember: you will always be making something. No matter what you do, there's a product. Do you like what it is? Are you a friend to the one who ultimately benefits? The law of karma is working particularly strongly in this area of your life. You're likely to reap what you sow; therefore choose your seeds well.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your imagination is taking you somewhere specific. You may feel like you keep having the same fantasy or the same idea over and over again. May I suggest that you not worry about that, if it happens to be true? If it's something you don't want, or that you know might hurt you, that does lead to a question, but if we're talking about something you're curious about or fascinated by, you get to indulge yourself. If there's a message involved, it's likely to become obvious fairly soon. Here's the thing to remember at this rather unusual moment of your growth: you can become anyone you want to be. You can use the power of your imagination to recreate this entity known as a 'self' into whatever turns you on. All you need is the vision and to focus on it. On our planet, those are two fairly big prerequisites for some, but I don't think they will be for you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Have you ever wondered why same-sex relationships and erotic contact are considered taboo? I know the Bible has a few things to say about that and eating shellfish. I mean have you ever really tried to figure it out? I suggest you give it a try. Why is it considered the unholiest of things, to the point where constitutional amendments get passed by freaked-out voters? Bisexuality can become an issue in hetero couples, people can have misgivings about their bi fantasies, and there is often considerable fear and shame about any of this being known. But -- why? That's the question of the week. It may be the question of the month and indeed of the century. I have my theories, which I will share with you in a future entry. For now I want to hear yours, particularly regarding what comes up during the Pisces New Moon today and this weekend.
