The Week of March 12 - 19
By Flo Higgins
Alice in Wonderland has nothing on you if you celebrate your birthday this week. You were born on the cusp of Pisces and Aries. You are a strong mix of fire and water since Aries is a fire sign and Pisces is water.
This combination is a challenge, since the natures of both signs are so totally different. The water sign is a daydreamer and a soul who loves to escape the harsh reality of the real world. And then we have Aries, an outspoken individual who thrives on controversy and chaos.
So anyone born this week must deal with this combination, and sometimes it is difficult both for the birthday people and for those who deal with them. A good example of the conflict they face is seen when we understand that the Pisces enjoys spending time alone listening to music or meditating, while the Aries enjoys being in the middle of arguments or battles.
How the Pisces-Aries born this week handles this conflicting nature depends on how strong the signs are in their natal charts. A strong Pisces will be content to spend the time alone, while a person with plenty of Aries will be out and about dishing out the outspoken influence of the fire sign. Once anyone born this week understands the conflict that could occur because of their date of birth and deals with it, you have a sweet and lively pal to have fun with. Otherwise they might be hard to understand.
Birthdays celebrated this week: Sam Donaldson, March 11, 1934; Edward Albee, March 12, 1928; William H. Macy, March 13, 1950; Quincy Jones, March 14, 1933; Eva Longoria, March 15, 1975; Erik Estrada, March 16, 1949; Rob Lowe, March 17, 1964; Queen Latifah, March 18, 1970; Glenn Close, March 19, 1947.
The new moon on Monday in Pisces will take place late in the afternoon so hold off on your new tasks until the sun goes down or wait until Tuesday a.m. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, an Aquarian, will be on Dancing With the Stars starting on March 22. He was born on January 20, 1930 in New Jersey. He graduated third in his class at West Point and was the second man to walk on the moon, just after fellow space traveler Neil Armstrong, who was born on August 4, 1930.
Here's a quick reminder to put the clocks ahead on Sunday a.m. or you may miss a Sunday appointment. Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus are all floating through Pisces offering water sign people - Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer - an opportunity to expand or make some adjustments that could bring about the fame and fortune they would love. Venus, the planet of relationships and love is now in Aries so we should all be more aggressive about love.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) There should be some aggressive strategy in your plans now - no more letting life just happen. Now would be a tip-top time to put organization on your agenda and then follow it to a tee. A new pal could be included in your planning. You just make sure you continue to be the number one person in charge. Eliminate people you feel uncomfortable with from your BFF list.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Expect the best now and you won't be disappointed. If you have done your homework you can expect to start reaping the rewards for your good works. A friend could stir up some trouble, but don't let it bother you because it will turn out just fine and you will be on the right team.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Keep your large variety of friends in separate spaces now; otherwise there could be some arguments that will involve you. The answer is to stay on the straight and narrow and not let anyone turn your head this week. Keep your attention on the puzzle that you want to put together and you will see great results and a future project for the whole family.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) There could be some heavy challenges around you right now, but if you just take one step at a time the entire situation will turn in your favor. Don't let anyone outside your family have any power over you now and you will win the entire game some friends are now trying to play.
Leo (July 21 to August 20) Some people may act strange right now but if you understand everything happening now is for your good then you can smile. The real answer now is don't take anything too seriously and you will be the big winner. An old friend could misunderstand a few things but if you just stay calm it will be fine.
Virgo (August 21 to September 20) One of your favorite people could be having some serious problems at home, but it would be wise for you to stay completely out of it. Just look the other way and spend time at home alone and you will survive this week with great happiness. A break could be in your future but you will be glad. So let it happen.
Libra (September 21 to October 20) It could be an extremely good time for you now if you make contact with an old pal. Don't expect relationships to heal all alone. You need to bend down and say something really kind. A new organization will welcome you with open arms once you offer your services. So make sure you are up to the job before you go about volunteering.
Scorpio (October 21 to November 20) With Jupiter making wonderful aspects to your Sun it is time to start looking at your new agenda with a fine-tooth comb. Avoid rushing into new situations without a real hold on the work involved. You are in a place to win big, but it needs more and deeper planning on your part. Go slowly forward and expect to be a winner.
Sagittarius (November 21 to December 20) Facing a new agenda is just what you need to be doing. A good buddy could also be at your side when you decide to move on your latest project. Wait until Tuesday of next week and then make some moves. Be careful, but don't ignore your need to make a few changes. It will be good if you prepare and stand tall.
Capricorn (December 21 to January 20) Trying to control everything in your life could create too much tension for both you and your pals. Slow down and let others do the same and you will find a much better atmosphere around your financial picture. There is no need to rush. Take it easy and success will be yours in the latest venture.
Aquarius (January 21 to February 20) If you made a mistake last week, admit it and clear up any tension around you. Then you can go back and make the latest project work like never before. You are in the right place now and although you may feel uncomfortable don't let it go.
Pisces (February 21 to March 20) You need to change direction and make some noise around the events you want to see happening. An old friend could come back into your life and you should think of it as good because it will help you tremendously. Avoid giving advice - just do what needs doing and go from there.
