Your Daily Tarot Card for Tuesday, March 14th is The Towers

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Tower

The Tower is perfect card for the revolutionary or iconoclast or anyone who flourishes in rapidly changing environments. What The Tower brings to the mix is sudden, usually unexpected change. With that change there will be a period of disorder, and there may be loss. However, the loss is probably not yours, since you may well be the agent that created the change to begin with. Many positive things can occur from the change The Tower indicates: Truths will be laid bare, revelations and breakthroughs are not just possible but likely, and nothing spurs creativity like a good dose of chaos and confusion. In the end it is likely that what replaces what was lost in the fall of The Tower will be worth the loss.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, March 14th

by Rick Levine

General Horoscope

We may lose patience with people who cannot make up their minds today. The Moon slips into penetrating Scorpio at 11:10 am EDT, empowering us to see beyond surface appearances. But whatever remains hidden will eventually be discovered by our perceptive research, while an expansive Sun-Jupiter connection widens our perspectives. We won’t let a mystery go unsolved and will continue to dig until we find satisfactory answers to our lingering questions.

Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19

Noncommittal placation isn’t a good enough response to your probing questions today. But when someone close to you won’t give you a straight answer, you see right through their act and go looking for information yourself. Fortunately, your skepticism of the original appeasement leads you to clues that allow you to fill in the rest of the picture with near psychic accuracy. However, it’s best to keep your “I told you so” to yourself rather than make your private victory a public proclamation. One day the tables could be turned.

Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20

People probably have good reasons for not revealing their every thought today, but you’re willing to play their games and keep your lips sealed. Your ability to read subtle nuances in body language makes you more comfortable with the silence between you, especially when the magnanimous Sun and generous Jupiter give you a bird’s eye view of the interpersonal dynamics. Things left unsaid are crystal clear when communication happens on another level. Let your sixth sense be your first sense.

Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20

They say the devil is in the details, and not a single one escapes your notice when you put your mind to it. It’s as if you possess a cosmic magnifying glass when the incisive Scorpio Moon examines your 6th House of Minutiae, enabling you to pick up on things that would otherwise slip through the cracks. However, the outside world sees nothing but your smiling face today, leaving you to your investigation without arousing suspicion. Discretion is your secret to success.

Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22

You may have a fresh perspective on family matters now, but you’re not yet ready to let go of the current situation. Your brooding mood carries over into your personal interactions as you replay a scene in your mind, remembering another detail that explains the lingering tension. Although your friends might ask if everything is okay because you appear a little gloomy today, you’re actually just steeping in the emotional wake of your discoveries. Silence speaks when words can’t.

Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22

You’re lost on a sentimental journey and you may be drawn to explore your family history now. There’s something oddly fascinating about digging out old photo albums today and taking a trip down Memory Lane. Searching for ways the past shapes you can do a lot for your personal development, and even help you understand the motives of other people better. Russel N. Nelson wrote, “When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us.”

Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22

You may waffle back and forth at the start of an important conversation, but soon your laser focus kicks into action. You don’t believe any nonsense today, and you’re not dishing any out, either. Although your words are to the point, they contain layers of depth. Anyone reading between the lines sees the real connotations behind them. But don’t assume you can pull the wool over everyone’s eyes; you’re not the only one with the persuasive Scorpio Moon in your corner now. Reaching a mutual understanding with someone is a better alternative than resorting to deception or subterfuge. Talk less; say more.

Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22

You’re often attracted to items that are beautiful or artful, tending toward frivolous purchases that provide temporary happiness. But there’s no swindling you as the suspicious Scorpio Moon takes up post in your 2nd House of Values. You may be a harsh judge of how much something is worth today, but thankfully, an altruistic Sun-Jupiter connection validates your natural sense of fairness. Your evaluations might be piercing, but they aren’t without warrant. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21

Nothing is out of your reach today as long as you channel your emotional intensity toward a specific purpose. Left to run amok, the swell of energy from the unrelenting Scorpio Moon in your 1st House of Self could overpower your other senses and leave you in a state of overload. But the good news is that with effort you can reach a depth of understanding that puts you in control of your personal power, harnessing an ability to temper unyielding conviction with spiritual attunement. Theodore Roosevelt said, “With self-discipline most anything is possible.”

Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21

Although you want to stay behind closed doors today, your propensity for holding a wider outlook is not diminished. Retreating into your own private laboratory for some experiments yields surprisingly potent concoctions as the transformative Scorpio Moon hides out in your 12th House of Mystery. The best part about the theories you uncover now is that you can speculate about their potentials without the risk of putting them to the test publicly. Albert Einstein wrote, “The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.”

Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19

You can’t relate to people who seem content to dilly-dally and procrastinate in the workplace. You naturally gravitate toward others who share your single-minded approach, forming an alliance with which to march forward. Fortunately, you’ve not lost all your social graces and you can still interact amicably today, even with the most annoying coworkers. But keep your time with distractions limited and stick to your team of winners. It’s better to be ambitious than ambivalent.

Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18

You’re fixated on your professional aspirations and you are passionately determined to achieve them. Conventional wisdom to keep your options open isn’t helpful while the obsessive Scorpio Moon implores you to zero in on your target and brush everything else aside. However, don’t underestimate the value of learning from those who already excel at what you seek to accomplish. Ask for the advice of a veteran in your field for inside information on how best to conquer your goals. Experience is a teacher that no book can match.

Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20

It’s easy to sympathize with those who struggle to find their direction now, since you often feel that way yourself. But you don’t want to wallow in the waters of indecisiveness today; you’re longing to follow your intuition wherever it leads. Setting off on a journey for answers when your destination is yet undetermined could seem reckless, but surrendering to the unknown is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward an enlightened future. Be a warrior, not a worrier.

If You Were Born Today, March 14

You are multi-talented, strong minded, and very versatile. At the same time, you give of yourself very freely to the people you care about, and to any cause you take to heart. Moody and changeable, nevertheless you are determined and responsible. There is always an air of mystery around you that others find intriguing. You are extremely perceptive, seeing things that most others fail to see.Famous people born today: Albert Einstein, Billy Crystal, Michael Caine, Quincy Jones, Hank Ketcham, Prince Albert, Jamie Bell.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

Your birthday falls shortly after a Full Moon this year, suggesting a period ahead of communication and teaching. You may be turned to for advice more frequently, and you are very willing to offer your help. This is a strong year for publicity and any other endeavors that involve spreading the word. As well, your ability to be objective–or to see the “big picture”–can be especially pronounced and rewarding this year.

Relationships tend to be deeper than usual, or you may be focusing on particular ones more deeply this year. Relationships can be one of the biggest areas of growth for you during this period of your life. Creative impulses are also powerful. While you may struggle at times with motivation levels, you possess the endurance to further your goals.

This can be a year in which you are building faith and confidence in your personality, skills, and talents. You can experience a stronger desire to seek out meaning, wisdom, and mental stimulation in your life during this period. Others might frequently turn to you for guidance. You can find satisfying channels for directing your energies during this period, and you might enjoy increased focus or dedication to a project.

This is a potentially excellent year for putting dreams into motion and giving life to your ideas. You are capable of very hard work when you’re inspired, and you can produce some pretty fantastic things now.

Saturn will transit square to your Sun this year, and this can encourage you to straighten out neglected areas of your life. You’ll be working hard at disciplining yourself. You are likely to have new or increased responsibilities, and it might take some time to get adjusted to them. The need to re-structure and re-organize your life will be apparent at some point this year. Much can be accomplished. Although you may not always see immediate results for your efforts, important groundwork can be laid for the future.

You are willing to put in the effort for a mental interest or project, and you can feel pleasantly dedicated to your work or ideas. You are more able to focus on what you’re doing and communicating, and you are more inclined to notice and consider details.

Mars harmonizes with Saturn around the time of your birthday this year, helping to ground you. Work is solid this year, and you can see results from your efforts, or at least foresee success down the road. This gives you a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practice or refining a technique is favored this year. The approach that seems to work best with this aspect is a step-by-step one, with modest ambitions and the appreciation of slow but steady progress.

However, some difficulties and delays with communications are likely. Your thoughts are quite sober at times, and you should do your best to avoid negative thinking. It’s a strong year for recognizing flaws and errors. As long as you don’t forget the “big picture”, you could find you are motivated to channel your mental energy into tasks that require structured and organized thought, tackling projects that you may have found too mundane or downright boring in other years. It’s a strong year for polishing your skills and formal learning. You also have a stronger ability to eliminate wasteful activities.

You may be actively involved with teamwork and collaboration with others this year. For some, there can be the beginning of a significant new relationship or the intensification of an existing romance, or an important passion project that reaches a turning point.

You’re able to bring both enthusiasm and practicality to your endeavors this year. It’s a potentially excellent year for making positive lifestyle changes and for dedication to your work or special projects. You are more patient than usual, having the follow-through to finish what you start. When you are motivated, you can accomplish great things, bringing new life to old goals. However, you may struggle at times with increased responsibilities.

2017 is a Number Nine year for you. Ruled by Mars. This is a year of completion and transition. It is a time when we need to let go of things that no longer serve their purpose, and hold on to things that have a future. It is a time of cleaning out dead wood, not necessarily for new beginnings. It can be a time when a burden has been taken off your shoulders, and it can be a year of giving of yourself. Advice – let go of things that are holding you back, give of yourself and express your sympathetic, compassionate side.

2018 will be a Number One year for you. Ruled by the Sun. This is a year of action. The seeds you plant now, you will reap later. Others might find you less sociable, as you are busier than ever and you focus on your activities and your needs. Still, you are outgoing and your initiative is stronger than ever. Advice – Stand alone, take action, start fresh, express independence.

The Astrology of Midlife

The life-changing effects of the Uranus opposition

Men and women of every race and culture commiserate with the phase of life we like to call the “midlife crisis.” Believe it or not, there are key astrological cycles we’ll go through during our early 40s that help us move toward a level of individuation we simply could not have achieved until these years. That is, if they don’t drive us crazy first.

But I’ll be honest and admit that up until very recently I didn’t pay much attention to these Astrology cycles. I was a “young” astrologer, and, well … I just didn’t care. Even though I had clients going through the midlife years I simply couldn’t relate to this generation the same way I could to the 20- and 30-somethings. I was young and cavalier. Maybe a part of me didn’t think those transits could really happen to me one day.

Ha. The universe always has the last laugh.

This May I’ll turn 39. Trust me, my attitude has changed. No longer can I deny the stubborn grey hairs assaulting my long, curly mane. No longer can I ignore the under-eye circles and laugh lines etched across my eyes. Thank goodness for friendly camera lighting when I film those videos! Losing weight used to be a matter of exercising more. These days, if I don’t avoid wine and chocolate like the plague and live at the gym, I’ll have no hope of getting back into my “skinny jeans.”

Suddenly, I’m living through midlife transits and it’s different now. It’s real.

It all begins with the Pluto square

Your midlife crisis peaks at around age 40-42, when we all experience the famous Uranus opposition. More on that in a minute, but first let me introduce you to the transit that opens wide the door to midlife for us — kind of like the grim reaper. You know, I must be talking about a Pluto transit and it happens to be called the Pluto square.

For each of us, between the ages of 36-42 (depending on the year you were born), transiting Pluto in the sky will make a square to your natal Pluto placement. This transit forces us to confront what is no longer working in our life. What has died … or is about to die.

Youth as we know it dies at this time while midlife is born. There’s just no denying it — our bodies and lives are rich with maturity and responsibility now. We’re raising kids, building our careers and often in significant relationship transition. There is major internal pressure during the Pluto square to recognize where in your life there is stagnation. If you refuse to change it, the Pluto square makes that area of your life shatter.

Don’t be afraid of it, though: the Pluto square might lead to a symbolic death of life the way we knew it, but you can be certain that it also paves the way for an important new beginning.

During my Pluto square I was going through a divorce and simultaneously building my Astrology career. Loss was certainly everywhere, but now that I’m past the Pluto square I can say without a doubt that the “death” needed to happen in order for me to turn the page in the book of my personal life and begin this next exciting chapter. And so it is with everyone who goes through a Pluto square.

Next up is the Neptune square

Your Neptune square happens at around age 40, and it has a lot to do with a shift in spiritual values — even a sense of confusion about where you are. If you’ve ignored the Neptunian part of life, this time might coincide with a spiritual quest.

If you do this midlife cycle wrong, you might drink too much or practice another unhealthy escapist behavior. You might take stock of your achievements up until now and feel like they’re worthless. A sense of disappointment is possible, and ultimately this will prompt you towards questioning your life and purpose in a deeper way. Ultimately, you will be spiritualized.

Your midlife crisis peaks with the Uranus opposition

Soon after — or around the same time — the famous Uranus opposition happens. THIS is when our world turns upside down. At around age 40-42, transiting Uranus will oppose natal Uranus and we realize that half of our life is behind us and the other half is still ahead. This is a major personal awakening that often results in a restless energy that needs to be externalized. We recognize with a sense of urgency that we only have one more chance at making our lives into what we really want it to be.

THIS is when middle-aged married men buy the red sports car and have an affair with a 25-year-old. This is when the homemaker decides to go back to college, unsettling everyone in her family. This is when the confirmed bachelor gets married and the couple you thought would be together forever announce their divorce.

We’re not old, but we’re no longer young, and this realization leads to a major life assessment. It’s time to either meet or revamp the goals we set when we were in our 20s. This is the cycle we truly individuate and begin to live life on our own terms. Hopefully, we can accomplish this without a rebellious outburst, but it’s usually part of the package. One thing is certain: After this cycle, life is forever changed.

Your Saturn opposition is a reality check

Then, at around age 44 or so, we experience the Saturn opposition, when transiting Saturn opposes natal Saturn. This is when we get a major reality check and need to face the consequences of the choices we made during our Uranus opposition. Remember, this transit will happen after the Uranus opposition and you WILL somehow “pay the piper” if you acted too recklessly during your midlife tantrum.

I haven’t experienced the Neptune square, Uranus opposition or Saturn opposition yet, but I do admit that after living through the Pluto square I am now taking these impending midlife transits very seriously.

They will change my life. They will change yours. And if you’re 20-something and reading this blog, thinking to yourself “Ha! It’ll never happen to me!” … Well, all I can say is that once upon a time I used to be that deaf, dumb and blind, too.

Youth. What a shame it’s wasted on the young.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, March 14th

Aries

Growth is a major keyword today, dear Aries, and you’re likely to find several opportunities to make improvements. Work and money matters benefit from a stronger sense of your worth and value, whether this is about your talents or work ethic. This can also be a day for gaining a new understanding of a complicated matter from the past, which can lead to release. Light is shone on aspects of your personality and your life that you may not typically see or confront, providing you with a golden opportunity to see what needs work. This can be a good time for supporting others and volunteering or otherwise coming to others’ aid. Some may be sharing a secret or otherwise “unburdening” today. Don’t be afraid to face something uncomfortable in the name of growth. If you are looking for answers to nagging personal problems, you may very well find the necessary resources with just a little effort today.

Taurus

Light is shone on your vulnerabilities today, dear Taurus, particularly related to friends and groups or your place in your community. As you see areas that need strengthening, you get one step closer to healing and repairing your relationships and yourself. The key today is being humble with others and ready to fix things, but confident in yourself, and in your creativity and self-worth. It’s a powerful day for meeting people who may one day play a bigger role in your life, or making connections that will eventually further your creative goals. Some of you could be bumping into an old friend or stumbling upon people from your past, or memories are stirred about old dreams or projects that you may decide to renew in the future. Whatever comes together now may not be dramatic, but it’s likely to enhance your life in subtle ways. Effective communications are not all about scoring intellectual points, and today’s energies favor the human element involved.

Gemini

Today can be quite excellent for making connections related to your emotional life or domestic world, dear Gemini. You might decide to take care of a matter that has been nagging at you for some time, and once you do, you can feel particularly relieved and less burdened. There is also good energy for seeing career or reputation matters in a new light. You have a wonderful approach to taking the lead or managing others, and people more readily see your value. Even so, if you are harboring insecurities related to taking charge of your life and responsibilities, these can be magnified now. This gets you one step closer to understanding yourself better and to healing. If you are in a public or professional setting today, you are inclined to project your more unique qualities and to come across as confident. Your advice may be sought, and there is good energy for new creative approaches to a work project or your career in general.

Cancer

This can be a powerful day for helping people you care about understand your point of view, dear Cancer, and for creative problem-solving as well. The day’s energies favor an open-handed approach. You are thinking of larger matters, the big picture, and new avenues for self-expression, and your thinking is particularly sharp when it comes to these things. New worlds are opening up to you as you expand your mind, and you may be embracing ideas that you previously ignored or overlooked. Travel or educational plans may fall into place now, or you could intuitively arrive at an idea or plan that points you in an exciting new direction. Your ideas can be inspirational or influential now. This is a fine time to stumble upon information or people that/who help you realize your dreams and goals, whether this is direct or indirect, such as through inspiration or the stirring of memories that prompt a new direction.

Leo

In many ways, today is about starting fresh on an emotional level, dear Leo, or for a renewed focus on and commitment to emotional growth. You might be the one to solve a problem or mystery or to uncover an important truth, and others admire your brilliance in the matter. Plans can be drawn, and challenges can be overcome. It’s an outstanding day for business strategy as well as a greater understanding of the inner workings of a relationship. Beautiful energy is with you for expressing yourself in an entirely unique way – your special appeal is particularly strong right now. You can see beauty in imperfections, and your private world can expand as a result. An exceptionally open conversation can occur now for some of you. You can also connect with valuable resources or tools related to your work or money matters. A confident approach does wonders for these things right now.

Virgo

Today’s energies are wonderfully unique for seeing close relationships or your relationship needs in a new light, dear Virgo, particularly as your relationships reflect how you value yourself. You’re looking at things in a more holistic but also logical way, seeing patterns that you may have overlooked in the past. This can be a time of problem-solving that gets results in a partnership. You may be putting a situation that was unfair or imbalanced behind you now. There can be a strong focus on evening things out or the leveling of the playing fields with a significant person in your life. You can come up with possible solutions for achieving more fairness, balance, and satisfaction from your relationships as you are motivated to make improvements. You are particularly willing to learn from and with others. Self-honesty can get you a step closer to healing. This is not about keeping the peace, as relationships can suffer if that is the primary goal. Instead, it’s about working hard toward achieving peace and harmony. Part of the picture today is a Mars-North Node connection that encourages you to express yourself bravely and honestly. Connecting with people who encourage or inspire you to reach higher can figure strongly now.

Libra

The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Libra, and you give increased weight to your feelings as a result. You may be seeking out validation for your emotions. You have the chance to see meaningful patterns when it comes to your health, habits, or work today, and this affords you the opportunity to take steps towards making improvements. You might find a new way to perform a task or resolve a problem that improves your daily routines or your health. You might get the chance to strengthen relationships with co-workers or with yourself and your attitudes towards work. You can bring exceptionally creative and inspired touches to the work you do, or you could be intuitively drawn to a new path of healing or a work method that serves you especially well. The connection between mind and body can be particularly evident now with Chiron aligning with the Sun and Pallas in your work and health sector. For many of you, the path to wellness becomes a little clearer as a result.

Scorpio

Today is powerful for creative inspiration as well as relationships with children or romantic partners, dear Scorpio. It’s a great time for recognizing patterns of behavior or patterns in your past that are contributing to your current situation. Problems are a little easier to solve now as you look at issues as a whole rather than analyze all of the details. This can be a fabulous time for correcting injustices and clearing the air, although this may be considered just one step towards resolution, largely because Venus is still retrograde and people (including yourself) need more time to process and understand their feelings before making significant changes. Your sense of harmony and balance is strong today, and this can help you create plans or designs that truly work for you. You may be attracting others through your confidence in expressing your unique qualities.

Sagittarius

Your sense of justice is stimulated very strongly today with the Sun, Pallas, and Chiron coming into alignment, dear Sagittarius. Particularly related to your home life or closest relationships, situations that have come very much out of balance demand your attention – you’ll be ready to make corrections and improvements! You’re also willing to understand others and yourself better, and this can facilitate healing and growth. Some of you might focus your attention on bringing more balance and beauty to your physical home now. The best approach on a personal level involves taking a compassionate look at what is in need of improvement, both within yourself and in your relationships. In the process, you may be more aware of difficult areas or wounded parts of your psyche, but this allows you the chance to open up and to be vulnerable, ultimately leading to healing. You have much wisdom to gain about your needs for safety, as a sense of belonging, and security. Another influence with you today assists you in your working life or with your more worldly goals. You might meet people or connect with information that helps you get closer to reaching your goals or that boosts your career.

Capricorn

A good deed from the past can benefit you today, dear Capricorn, and you can enjoy fantastic energy for solving problems, particularly related to learning, school, technology, and mechanics. The Sun, Chiron, and Pallas meet in your communications sector, making it quite excellent for sharing your personal insights and wisdom, for helping people through the power of your healing words, and for understanding the link between your mindset or how you communicate and your personal happiness. It’s also an excellent time for smoothing over differences, although with Venus still retrograde, there can be some problems left outstanding – you might think of this as one big step towards better relationships. Exchanges with others can be significant today. You have a way of presenting your more unusual or non-traditional ideas in an attractive and understandable package. Another helpful influence with you today can assist you in making connections with people or information that supports a creative project, course of study, travel plans, or romantic relationship.

Aquarius

There can be the opportunity to see revealing patterns in your approach to making money or using your talents and resources today, dear Aquarius. Problem-solving with business, financial, and practical affairs can also thrive now as you see things holistically. You also see yourself and your vulnerabilities more honestly now. On a creative level, you are particularly sharp regarding elements of design and structure – you can have a strong vision of what you want to build and develop. It’s a good time for new business ideas but not ideal for putting new ventures into motion. Don’t discount business ideas and visions now – they can be particularly useful going forward. On a personal level, you may be confronting fears or your insecurities may be revealed about your earnings, ability to earn, or employability. There can be incredible support through family or an intimate partner today, and perhaps the chance to connect with resources that further your goals in your home or personal life.

Pisces

The Sun, Chiron, and Pallas come together in your sign today, dear Pisces, and it’s your time to shine! People can be very much on board with your ideas and drawn to you for your unique understanding and advice. Energy is particularly favorable for fixing problems and getting things up and running smoothly again. You may be seeing patterns in your own behavior that you may have previously overlooked, and in so doing, you gain a far better understanding of yourself. The desire to grow, improve, and create is powerful now. If you’ve been feeling undervalued or treated unfairly, then you’ll feel it more powerfully now, and you’ll want to take steps to improve things. Look for ways to grow, particularly in the ways you approach the world, take the lead, and present yourself. You are doing your own thing now, and people are attracted to this honesty. Today is also active for problem-solving with a partner. You can make important strides now through collaboration.
