When it comes to passion, you want to focus on the extraordinary lineup of planetary energy that begins on Friday. First, a Full Moon in your romance sector on Valentine’s Day will bring emotional fulfillment. If you’re dating someone special you’ll know your love is true. If you’re single, you might feel that emotional longing to love again. The good news, however, is that instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you’ll socialize. In fact, an outing with friends might lead to an unexpected meeting with someone who drives you wild!
Romance might not be your first priority early in the week. On Tuesday, it’s possible you’ll feel frustrated with your mate if you get the sense that he or she isn’t supporting one of your professional goals. Keep in mind that your love might come across as hard on you but this is only because he or she wants you to be the best you can be. By Friday, you might be ready to introduce a new love interest to your family or meet his or her clan.
Distractions at work early in the week won’t ruin your chances for romantic enjoyment by the weekend. In fact, by then you’ll feel as if you’ve earned your fun … and you certainly will have! An entertaining conversation with someone special might lead to an exciting evening on Friday. If you’re dating someone, it’s possible you’ll exchange meaningful cards for Valentine’s Day that are filled with poetic sentiments about your affection for one another. The best part of the weekend, however, will be your incredibly adventurous sex drive. Savor it!
You might feel hopelessly frustrated in matters of the heart on Tuesday. Your lover might not be as willing to open up as you are, and instead of respecting his or her space, you might interpret it as a personal affront. Don’t be hypersensitive. Instead, try to see where your lover is coming from. He or she may have significant trust issues to overcome. If you can assure your sweetheart that you’re in it for the long haul, you might help to loosen the vice grip around his or her heart.
When it comes to love, this is certainly your time to shine. A Full Moon in Leo on Friday promises you’ll wear your heart on your sleeve. You’ll have every intention of enjoying Valentine’s Day fun to the max with your sweetie. In your typical grand fashion you’ll likely spoil your lover with an extravagant gift or an over the top display of affection. You might also plan for an extra special night out — one that your mate will remember for years to come.
You might second-guess your lovability quotient early this week — especially near Tuesday. You might fear rejection, and because of this you may keep your crush for someone a complete secret. If you choose to go this route you’ll only be cheating yourself, because you’ll never know what might have been. Have the courage to move past any self-doubt and claim the love you deserve. If attached, you might be in for a spectacular romantic surprise on Valentine’s Day that your love has managed to keep under wraps.
You might feel frustrated in romantic matters early this week because it’s possible that a lover might leave you flat broke. Are you feeling pressured to come up with an extravagant Valentine’s Day gift? If so, you might break the bank in order to impress your sweetheart. Don’t go shopping close to Tuesday — you will only regret such poor judgment. By Friday, however, you’ll be in a sweet spot to enjoy social fulfillment with your lover and incredibly gratifying “extra-curricular” activities as well!
Domestic strife might cut into romance for you — at least early in the week. Your obligations at home have been quite intense, and it’s likely you’re feeling more confused about how to balance family and the rest of your life. Try to cut yourself some slack and recognize that even you have a breaking point. If you’re feeling overwhelmed between work and career responsibilities you’ll have no room to enjoy what could be a spectacular Valentine’s Day weekend. That would be a shame.
You might feel as if no matter how hard you try to convey yourself to your partner, he or she just isn’t “getting” you. Mercury will backpedal into your message sector on Wednesday, making it even more difficult for you to get your message across easily. Being misunderstood might frustrate you so much that you decide to exchange conversations as little as possible. Make an exception for Valentine’s Day, however. You’ll have a boost of support if you and your sweetie are out and about.
One of your friends might leave you feeling filled with self-doubt about your ability to attract someone in your mutual social circle. Before you give into his or her criticism, consider whether or not this person is a true friend, or if they are merely trying to sabotage your potential love match. It’s possible this pal doesn’t have your best interests at heart. If you’re in a relationship, however, you can expect an erotically delicious Valentine’s Day. Deep, transformative, emotional connection is possible between you and your mate.
Your boss might be so hard on you early in the week that it leaves you feeling gloomy. Put your nose to the grindstone and deliver whatever is required on the job so that by Friday you can enjoy your Valentine’s Day weekend freely. In fact, if you’re in a relationship, the Full Moon in your partnership sector on Friday will allow you and your mate to enjoy a special, sentimental bond. You might even choose to deepen your commitment by moving in together, becoming engaged or even deciding to marry.
You might become so private about your thoughts this week that your partner convinces him or herself that you’re hiding something. Do your best to address any paranoia before it gets out of hand. Reassure your mate that you are “all in,” but that sometimes you require an extraordinary amount of alone time to recharge your spiritual batteries. A great compromise would be to spend the weekend at a spa where you could enjoy a couple’s massage or other pampering treatment.

There appears to be fairy tale romantic stories all over and with Venus now direct, you’re more likely to believe you can make them come true. Talk to your lover about your innermost dreams and spiritual yearnings. Love is more than physical this weekend … it’s delicate.

Hmm, do we sound a little excited it is Friday? We found out it is going to warm up this weekend and we might actually have a chance at unthawing for a minute or two, lol! But seriously, we always try to keep you informed of internet issues that might effect you. So this is our public announcement for the week…….
Today on NBC it was reported that Yahoo’s email accounts had been hacked into. According to the News reports they hacked several millions of Yahoo emails. They were advising if you had an account to change your password immediately. To make sure you are at a legit Yahoo account, look for the confirmation box right under your password. You know the little box with the screwed up letters and numbers. As many times as I have to do them, I am surprised they haven’t thought I was a computer. Back to the story, we have a Yahoo account and it doesn’t seem to have been effected. To be on the safe side, I am planning on changing the password. If you have a Yahoo account, please check it when you have time today. And thus ends our PA for January 31st!
I hope everyone has a very fantastic Friday and a beautiful and blessed weekend,
Luv & Hugs,
Lady A
A gorgeous New Moon on Thursday will light up your social networking sector, sending a beam of exhilarating love potential your way. Consider signing up on a new Internet dating website (wait until after Venus turns direct on January 31). You might also decide to ask out that friend of yours you’ve been crushing on for ages. Or, you might accept a friend’s invitation to set you up on a date with someone he or she thinks is perfect for you. Say yes, and expect the unexpected.
Congratulations! You’re on your way to feeling beautiful and seductively delicious once more, thanks to your ruler, Venus, turning direct this Friday after having been retrograde since December 21. You may have felt as though the universe pressed the “pause” button on you when it came to financial matters and matters of the heart. Hopefully you viewed this phase as an opportunity to become more realistic about what you want and deserve and how to best utilize your talents. Now, you’ll be ready to use what you learned as you move forward in your love relationship, or as you search for a soul mate.
Rejoice! Venus, the ruler of your true love sector, will turn direct on Friday after having been retrograde since December 21. You might have endured setbacks when it came to opening your heart and getting what you want in the romance department. Now, you can press forward in all intimate matters with greater ease and success. While Venus Retrograde was not an ideal time to begin a new love relationship, if you decided to give an old flame a second chance you might feel as if you’ve got something special. Nurture it, but remember: If you didn’t resolve what broke you up in the first place, it might come back to haunt you.
You started 2014 at a vital turning point when it comes to relationships. Astrologically, this is due to several factors, but most noticeably is the fact that Pluto, the planet of transformation, is in your relationship sector. Also, Venus has been traveling retrograde in the same area of your chart since December 21. A defining month was likely regarding how you will proceed with a partnership. For some, it’s time to marry. For others, it’s time to separate. Dramatic? Yes, but there is nothing shallow about a Pluto transit. Venus moves forward again starting this Saturday. You will too.
If you’ve been caught up in a messy office romance, it appears things will start to go more smoothly for you. Either this will be due to you resolving any insecurity about dating someone you work with, or it’ll be due to you making a decision to separate love from work in some capacity. This might not be a break-up. One of you may decide to look for work somewhere else to end the distracting office gossip. Either way, a New Moon in your partnership sector on Thursday, followed by Venus turning direct on Friday, spells new beginnings in love. Awesome!
Finally, you can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to your love life. Go ahead, let it out — you know you want to! Romance has been a sore spot since December 21, when Venus turned retrograde in your true love sector. Things between you and your sweetheart may have turned sour, and if so it’s been difficult to resolve those problems. If single, you might have found this to be a lonely time. Anyone who came into your life didn’t quite measure up to your standards. Well, now the lull is over. Expect opportunity for love if single, and anticipate sparks to fly hotter than ever if you’re attached!
If you’ve felt as if you’ve been sleepwalking when it comes to love potential, you’re about to bolt upright. On Thursday, a gorgeous New Moon will fall in your true love sector, opening up the potential for you to meet someone new and possibly fall in love. What makes this even more delicious is the fact that on Friday Venus will turn direct after having been retrograde since December 21. Don’t be surprised if a relative offers to introduce you to someone special, or if you meet someone unexpectedly while attending a family event. Love is in the air!
By this weekend you and your partner may feel as if you are finally making progress when it comes to communicating more effectively. Resolution to any disagreement and improvement in how you engage in conversations with one another are likely by Friday. If you and your mate have a serious decision to make about finances and have found it difficult to agree, you might finally reach a compromise that takes both of your needs into consideration. You’ll be relieved.
While it’s true that you’ve been focused mainly on resolving any financial difficulties over the last several weeks, after Wednesday it’s possible that your attention will move towards a potential love interest. Do you have any siblings or cousins? Don’t be shocked if one of them offers to set you up on a date. Even if you’re not in the mood, consider accepting the invitation — you might be pleasantly surprised. You might also meet someone new if he or she moves into your neighborhood this week. This might even be love at first sight.
This is the week you’ve been waiting for! On Friday, Venus will turn direct after having been hibernating in your sign since December 21. While Venus was moving retrograde it’s possible you encountered significant blocks or tests involving your love life — or lack thereof. You might have met someone new but vacillated about starting a relationship, either because you lacked confidence or wondered if this person was a real fit for you. Now, you can explore your options with greater confidence. Let love in.
Expect solid improvement in your love life by Thursday. Not only will a dazzling New Moon fall in your sign, but the very next day Venus will turn direct after backpedaling in the area of your chart that rules sorrow and seclusion since December 21. You’ll have an incredible opportunity for a personal fresh start in life and love! What makes it even brighter is knowing that you’re finally ready to release whatever anxiety you’ve kept to yourself about a love situation. It’s time to move on.
Your romantic prospects will become potent and intense by the end of the week. Love planet Venus will turn direct in your friendship sector. If you’ve been going back and forth about whether or not to date one of your pals, it appears you’ll finally make a decision. In fact, by Friday Jupiter — the planet of expansion — will engage powerful Pluto in a way that just might bring you a romantic opportunity too compelling to ignore. Love will be all-consuming by the weekend. Wow!

The Moon will pass through intense Scorpio on Friday and into Saturday night, making love a serious, all-consuming matter. If there’s someone you’re crushing on, it’s possible that you’ll courageously initiate a conversation on Friday thanks to a direct trine between Mercury and Mars. Actions speak louder than words but on this day you’ll be willing to speak up about your feelings and take action to help determine whether or not they are mutual.
On Saturday however, Mercury will square off with Saturn and you might suddenly lose your nerve so be sure to act on Friday. The Moon will move into Sagittarius late Saturday and remain there all day Sunday lighting the mood considerably.
Consider a date that involves something adventurous with your sweetheart. Whether it’ll be bungee jumping or dinner at an exotic restaurant is your call.

Friday belongs to Venus, and its energies are warm, sensuous, and fulfilling. Efforts that involve any type of pleasure, comfort, and luxury, as well as the arts, music, or aroma (incense and perfume) works well on this day. As Venus lends its sensuous influences to the energies of this day, use it for any magical work that deals with matters of the heart.
Take advantage of the boost in social energy early in the week. Leading up until Friday, it’s possible you and your partner will enjoy a party or other event with mutual friends. There’s a good chance you’ll meet up with pals who share a similar interest that is somehow “out of the box.” Your mind will enjoy a boost of stimulation, which will help you keep things interesting in all aspects of your life — especially romance!
You may not feel as if your mate is fully supporting you with a career decision that looms ahead. He or she might have the perspective that you’re pushing your luck and threatening your security by making the next move you plan to make. While this might be a valid point, don’t allow pessimism to deter you. Realize it’s also possible that your sweetheart is projecting his or her own fears onto you. Pursue what you know is right for you.
Set your sights on an adventure with your lover this week — or at least plan to talk about one. A brilliant opportunity to expand your horizons is possible, and of course you’ll want to include your sweetheart. You might decide to take a class together that allows you to explore an offbeat topic that interests you both. You may also talk about planning that exotic vacation. Keep talking, but don’t commit just yet — wait until after Venus turns direct on January 31 for any big ticket purchases.
If you feel tightness in the romance department this week it’s not your imagination. As a matter of fact, you and your sweetie might endure a stressful conversation — especially near Saturday. This will likely have to do with shared resources, such as your partner’s income, insurance benefits or even shared debt. You might realize that taking a vacation together or spending extra cash isn’t a smart idea right now. Taking a mature and responsible approach in handling your joint finances won’t feel fun. But it is necessary.
Domestic responsibility might squeeze the romance out of your life this week. You might need to take care of an elderly relative or attend to another family obligation, and if so it’s likely to take your attention away from your mate. What might make this more unsettling is that your partner isn’t likely to support you while you carry this extra family weight. In fact, he or she may resent the fact that you’re focused so much on your clan. A happy medium may not be possible … push through.
A serious conversation about who’s pulling more weight in your relationship may be called for. If you’re still feeling resentment about doing more of the everyday work to keep the nuts and bolts intact around your love nest, you may finally voice your frustration. Try your best to approach your mate in a way that won’t put him or her on the defensive. If you express how you feel honestly, and without reproach, a resolution is possible. In the end, however, it’s you who might need to draw boundaries. Did your lover really insist that you clean every nook and cranny of space you share? Probably not … that’s a “you” thing. Own it.
Your love life will be on fire this week — at least in your mind. The good news is that your ability to talk to someone special will be incredible — especially if you act by Friday. Go ahead and ask out someone who isn’t usually “your type.” You may be pleasantly surprised to learn the two of you have so much in common and plenty to talk about. Just remember that your ruler, Venus, is still in retrograde motion. Starting a new relationship isn’t ideal under this condition. Even so, there’s nothing wrong with talking and getting to know someone. Just take it slow.
Talking to a relative about your love life might not always appeal to you, you might make an exception this week. There’s a strong possibility that someone in your clan understands more about what you’re going through romantically these days than you might ever have guessed. In fact, you’ll only know just how startling the parallels in your love life are if you have the courage to talk about your own first. It’s OK — go there. You won’t regret it.
Time with friends might prove beneficial for you in more ways than one this week. If you and your partner attend an event with a group of pals, you’re likely to find it renews sparks between you. Stimulating conversation in a group setting will likely lead to extra-curricular romance behind closed doors later on, when it’s just the two of you. Unfortunately, your ideal social time this week will be before Friday. The weekend will be a dud, so plan accordingly.
Your love life might remain in a fragile state for just a little bit longer. Venus is still traveling retrograde in your sign — a phenomenon that will continue to test relationship and your lovability factor until January 31. This week, you might feel as if you’re making progress when it comes to courageously talking about what you know you’re worth. Remember, you’re a rare and beautiful find and anyone who loves you should treasure that fact. Don’t sell yourself short!
A heated debate between you and your sweetheart might send sparks flying all over the place this week — especially between the sheets! Don’t be worried about adamantly defending your stance on a particular subject, even if your mate doesn’t agree with your perspective. For most of this week you’ll have a remarkable ability to sound sexy and informed all at once. Use it to your advantage. Go after your lover by seducing his or her brain first!
A deep and meaningful conversation with your partner this week might help you forge a greater bond, physically and spiritually. Don’t worry about freaking out your mate with wild or eccentric thoughts now. Sharing what’s really on your mind is what your lover craves from you and what he or she will respond to most. Even if it’s a silly fantasy or an irrational fear, talking about it will help you feel more connected to your mate. Open your mind and your heart.
Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrologyThe Moon passing through stable Taurus on Friday, followed by an early morning sextile between Venus and Saturn, will create an atmosphere of realism and security in matters of the heart.
If you’re in a relationship then you’ll hold on tight to your lover, appreciating him or her for warming your body and soul. If single, it’ll be a good time to carefully consider what you want and deserve in love. After Saturday when the Moon glides into Gemini, you’ll be able to intellectualize your emotions easily.
Cerebral thinking certainly takes over by late Saturday afternoon when Mercury enters innovative Aquarius. Since Aquarius rules technology and the Internet, you might maximize the Gemini Moon and Mercury in Aquarius energy by setting up a profile on an Internet dating website or by initiating a conversation with someone you’re attracted to via a social media account. You have nothing to lose!

Daily Self-Care
We have all heard the instructions of an airline attendant reminding us to put on our own oxygen mask before we help anyone else with theirs. This advice is often cited as a metaphor for self-care because it so accurately expresses why it is important. It seems to say, iron
ically, that if you can’t take care of yourself for yourself, do it for others. Few situations in our daily lives mimic the wake-up call of an airplane emergency, so it’s easy to keep putting self-care off—easy, that is, until we get sick, overwhelmed, or exhausted, and suddenly don’t have the energy to care for the people who count on us. That’s when we realize we haven’t been getting the oxygen we need to sustain ourselves. We begin to understand that taking care of ourselves is neither selfish nor indulgent; it’s just plain practical.
Putting yourself first means that it may be necessary to say no to someone else in order to say yes to yourself. For many of us, there is always something we feel we could be doing for someone else, and it helps to remember the oxygen metaphor. You can even encourage yourself by saying “I am caring for myself so that I am better able to care for others“ or some other mantra that will encourage you. It also helps to remember that self-care doesn’t have to be composed of massively time-consuming acts. In fact, the best prescription for taking care of yourself is probably small, daily rituals; for example, taking one half-hour for yourself at the beginning and end of the day to meditate, journal, or just be. You might also transform the occasional daily shower or bath into a half-hour self-pampering session.
Whatever you decide, making some small gesture where you put yourself first every day will pay off in spades for you and the ones you love. The oxygen you need is all around you; sometimes you just need to be reminded to breathe.
Devotion to your career is admirable, but it might cost you in the relationship department. This week it’s likely that professional opportunity and obligation will conflict with your ability to offer attention to your mate. A New Moon on Wednesday looks potent and positive for you in terms of your ambitions, but it’s unlikely you’ll receive the support you yearn for from your partner. Sometimes, it’s lonely at the top. If there’s ever a time you’ll feel this way, it’s now.
One priority in your love life is that you must feel a deep spiritual connection with the person you’re with in order to fuel the sparks. If you aren’t connected in the soul department, then sex becomes empty. This week, expect a test in this arena. On Wednesday, you may begin a new quest that you’re passionate about, but you’ll quickly discover that your mate doesn’t share your same enthusiasm. In fact, it may conflict with his or her ideology. This could be a problem. You can’t open your heart to someone who keeps a closed mind.
The tension in your love life might hit an all-time high. You’re ready to explore deeper intimacy with a partner, but you might feel frustrated as you attempt to get closer. This may have to do with your sex life, but it can just as easily be a deeply personal matter you hope your mate can open up to you about. If you’re ready to fight for this relationship, you’ll certainly have an opportunity. Your sweetheart will not make it easy, but if you’re convinced the love is strong enough, then no amount of frustration will deter you.
A fresh start is possible for you and your partner, but it certainly won’t be without its share of stress. If you’re committed to working things out with your mate, remain confident in your ability to make it happen. At the same time, however, you may be at an impasse when it comes to a domestic situation you can’t seem to agree on. Optimism and faith may be renewed by Friday, but don’t forget that any conversation involves listening and speaking. Remember to take turns!
If you’ve been caught up in a bad office romance, things are about to get messier. Perhaps you and your lover have tried to keep this a secret affair, and if so it’s possible that by Friday someone at work will let the cat out of the bag. Another possibility is that you have unrequited feelings for someone or unrealistic expectations about a current relationship. Consider talking to a counselor or someone you trust about your love life debacle. It’s time to unravel a few knots.
Out of all the signs, you win the cosmic jackpot for the most promising developments in the romance department this week! You can thank a potent New Moon in your true love sector this Wednesday, joined by an even more transformational connection between the Sun and Pluto in the same area of your chart. You crave intensity and depth more than ever these days when it comes to love. Fortunately, you’re likely to attract someone who can meet your expectations and satisfy your hunger. Still be aware: An obsessive love connection is possible.
If you’re married or live with your partner, this may not be an easy week. It’s possible that you and your love are knocking heads these days when it comes to a domestic problem or living situation. You may be at a deadlock — unable to agree on where to live, whether or not to move, or even how to live with each other without losing your sanity. If you’re dating someone and plan to introduce him or her to your clan this week, you may want to think again. Hold off until next week, because that might be the difference between your family embracing your new sweetheart or rejection.
When it comes to your love life, you want to know the truth — no matter how hard it may be to digest. A New Moon in your communication sector on Wednesday may set the stage for information overload. You’ll likely have at least one new writing, teaching or sales project to focus on, and this may take your attention away from matters of the heart. Still, if there’s any secret information or unspoken words between you and someone close, this will be the week to get things out into the open. Besides, you already hear the screaming beneath the silence, don’t you?
Financial strain might distract you from romance this week. While it’s true that Wednesday’s New Moon in your earned income sector will invite the opportunity to earn cash from a new revenue stream, at the same time it appears that your expenses are unusually high these days. You might have decided to cut back on your holiday spending, and if so your sweetheart may take it personally if he or she didn’t get the material gifts hoped for. If this happens, you will begin to see your lover in a whole new light. A turn-off for sure.
This week it’ll be impossible to ignore the rumblings inside of you that demand change. If you’ve been less than satisfied with the course of your life or a love relationship, this Wednesday’s New Moon in Capricorn will urge you to be the change you want to see in the world. As you move toward the fresh chapter in your life, if there’s an old, outworn relationship holding you back you’ll examine whether or not it’s time to breathe new life into it or just let it go.
The roadblocks in love may continue for you this week. Not only is Venus Retrograde in your private 12th house, but a New Moon in the same area of your chart will occur on Wednesday. This lunation will be a tense one, and although there is the potential for new beginnings, it’s not without stress. In your case it appears that the fresh start has everything to do with your ability to let go of a past disappointment related to heartbreak. You deserve to move forward. What’s stopping you?
A testy New Moon on Wednesday, followed by the Sun connecting to Pluto, may stress you out socially. A power struggle between you and a friend might begin to surface, and if so it’ll be difficult for you to remain diplomatic. Not helping the situation is the potential for your lover to get involved by Friday. He or she may run off at the mouth to your pal in an effort to defend you. Do your best to resolve this situation on your own. This week, keep your friends and your sweetheart apart.

With the Moon in Leo all day Friday and Saturday, you might think you’re home-free for a magnificent weekend of romance and pleasure. Not so fast.
Unfortunately, love planet Venus will turn retrograde on Saturday, deflating everyone’s plans to party with a cavalier attitude. In fact, beginning Saturday and until January 31, 2014, matters of the heart will become more sober for everyone. Pay close attention to what needs fixing in your love life since, because until you revise this it may be difficult to enjoy even the happiest of lunar aspects.
The Moon will enter serious Virgo on Sunday, and at least by then you’ll be able to honestly look at the wrinkles in your love life. It’s time to get out the iron!

Good Morning, dear family & friends! I hope everyone is having a very warm and safe day. They have changed our weather forecast. Our bad weather is suppose to hit this afternoon. We are suppose to have mostly ice here. I can tell you I would much rather have the snow than the ice any day. We can’t very well argue with Mother Nature though. Just accept what we are given and go on about it.
We did get all of our supplies yesterday and have battened down the hatches. So we are ready, I guess. I just don’t want to think about losing power. I remember last time. At first it was like an adventure but by day 8, the night was closing in and I was about ready to strangle someone. It is nice to spend time with people but when you are trapped with them for several day, get real! Enough is enough, lol! I am just kidding. I am not the only one that felt this way. Even the best of friends trapped for long periods of time will get on each other’s nerve. I know after so long the cat became a pain in the rump. I would catnap during the day because at night we would use kerosene heaters or a big LP camp stove to keep the place warm. Well the darn cat would catch which other was on and try to lay right on top of it. I stayed up making sure the cat didn’t catch on fire and burn us up and we didn’t run out of oxygen and kill ourselves. Oh, what fun is was!
So I beg you again, please keep us in your prayers that we don’t lose power and stay safe during the upcoming storm. And to remind you, in case you don’t hear from us within a day or two, send help! Lots of it, too! Out here, when the power goes out, we lose our telephones. Why? I don’t know. I guess that is one of the many problems you have to put up with when dealing with a Co-Op. But send in the Mounties, please!
Enough with the silliness, I know there are some already suffering from the winter storm. My heart goes out to you and yours. I pray that you stay in and stay safe. If you have power and the internet, spend the day with us. I am sure after reading all this, it will warm your hearts, lol! I can’t help it, I am a big baby witch. I am use to all the modern conveniences, especially power and heat. Those happen to be two of my favorites in the Winter. I honestly don’t see how our ancestors and the cave people made it. But I guess they didn’t miss what they never had. Perhaps we are too spoiled these days. Truthfully, I don’t know too many people that ain’t spoiled these days. Even the hunters around here tickle me. They will brag and talk about how they are great outdoorsmen and they are rough and tough, yeah right! They want to come home to a nice warm house, a freshly brewed pot of coffee and the TV. Yeah, they are really tough and rough outdoorsmen, lol!
Well enough with the poop! I hope everyone has a great day. Please stay safe and warm. If you have to do any traveling, be extra careful because I expect to see all of you back here tomorrow. Have a very blessed day & may the Goddess watch over us all.
Luv & Hugs,
Lady A
Big news, Aries! On Saturday, Mars, your ruler, will enter your 7th House of Partnership. This transit happens about once every two years, but this time it’ll be extra special. Why? In 2014, Mars will turn retrograde, giving you an opportunity to carefully revisit your approach to partnership matters. How are you using your energy in relationship? Are you fighting with your partner for no good reason or are you avoiding a fight because you’re afraid of rocking the boat? Oh, and by the way, what happened to your sex life? These questions and more will be answered over the next several months.
You might not even be looking for the opportunity for a new intimate encounter this week, but thanks to Monday’s New Moon it’s quite possible that someone will approach you with a sexy request. Whether or not you choose to accept is up to you, of course, but if you do, be sure not to kiss and tell. On Friday, there’s a testy link between Mercury and Neptune to caution you against sharing any of that private pillow talk with friends. You wouldn’t want to be the subject of gossip.
On Monday, a New Moon may promise a fresh start for you and your mate. If things have been dull in the relationship department, it’s possible this lunation will open up the door for new adventures in love. After Wednesday, you’ll even find it easier to communicate with your partner and you may decide to pursue a new course of study together for fun. If single, your sex life is about to get a major jump start. Mars will enter your romance sector for the first time in nearly two years. Ooh la la!
Because you’re ruled by the fluctuating Moon, it’s no surprise that wherever the Moon goes in your chart is where your mood will focus. This week, on Wednesday and Thursday, you’ll have your emotions set on your partner as the Moon makes her way through your relationship sector. An intuitive grasp of your mate’s feelings will be easy to achieve. On Saturday, Mars will enter partnership Libra and your domestic 4th House of Home and Family. You and your sweetheart may have more quarrels about a home renovation project. Don’t lose sight of what really matters.
Are you looking for love in all the wrong places? This week, a brilliant New Moon might send just the signal you need to help you get your heart out of the “lost zone.” Anticipate at least one opportunity to date someone new. This person will likely captivate you more because of your differences rather than what you have in common. Be careful on Friday, however, because it’s possible that you’ll misunderstand your new paramour’s signals. Talking about a sexual fantasy doesn’t mean it’s time to manifest it!
You may feel extra sentimental about romance on Wednesday and Thursday, as the Moon tours your 5th House of True Love. While it’ll be a wonderful time to shower someone close with affection, at the same time you may feel distracted because these feelings will occur in the middle of your hectic work week. Give yourself permission to let loose once in a while. Besides, having your lover in bed will be more fun than taking home all of that paperwork!
Get ready to feel more energy than you have in quite some time! Mars, the planet that rules our “get up and go” factor, will move into your sign this Saturday, and isn’t going anywhere for several months. For the next few weeks you’ll feel passion return to your veins as Mars prompts you to go after what and whom you want most! You might notice a stronger sex drive, as well, as the ability to make that first move if you’re typically the shy type. You’ve got game!
A confusing conversation with your lover may set the tone for bewilderment rather than fulfillment in the romance department — especially by Friday. You might have unrealistic expectations about a relationship or what a lover can offer you in return for what you can offer him or her. On Saturday, Mars will enter your 12th House of Privacy. It might become more difficult to outwardly pursue someone you’ve got a crush on. You’ll need to make an extra effort because your intentions might not be as easy to read.
A New Moon in your sign on Monday can spell the beginning of something wonderful because it’ll allow you to write a brand new chapter in the story of your life. If a relationship is your priority now, you can certainly use this energy to help you attract an emotional equal. You’ll have an even stronger edge by Wednesday, when Mercury enters your sign and helps you communicate what you want clearly. You’ll offer up scintillating conversation that’ll make it difficult for someone you admire to ignore.
If there’s something private you’ve longed to share with your partner but somehow couldn’t open up enough to reveal, all of that may change this week. A New Moon will illuminate your 12th House of Privacy, opening up an opportunity for you to make a personal breakthrough. Because the Moon rules your partnership sector, it’ll be easy for you to “go there” with your mate and not worry so much that he or she will judge or condemn you. Trust that by sharing your innermost feelings, it’ll only draw the two of you closer.
If you’re single, you’ll want to focus on your circle of friends to help you breathe new life into your romantic prospects. A gorgeous New Moon on Monday will open up the floodgates in your social life. A pal may offer to set you up on a date or you might go out with a group of friends and meet someone special. On Wednesday, when Mercury (ruler of your romance sector) enters your friendship sector, you may consider asking a friend for advice about your love life. He or she can help you solve a relationship problem.
On Saturday, with sexy Mars moving into your erotic 8th House of Deep Transformation and Sex, on Saturday you’ll have the stamina to pursue your most taboo fantasies in the bedroom. Fortunately, your partner will be on board! You might experience some tension, however, when it comes to shared finances. If your mate has built up any credit card debt, for example, you may get into a quarrel. Alternatively, you and your partner might find yourselves in a position where you need to address a tax issue. Don’t let money problems ruin your great love affair.
