UNDERWATER
AMSTERDAM
FEBRUARY 2012
22 October-21 November
You're less than pleased with another's performance on the 1st. You gave him or her specific, simple directions or orders and he or she skipped several steps and did a half-baked job. You carefully choose your words, remembering to emphasize what was done RIGHT first. You end with the part that mentions the areas that "need work" and may request that this task is made right and whole before the end of tomorrow. Going at it this way sounds less critical and more like a sorcerer and his/her apprentice. On the 3rd, Neptune returns to its rightful place, Pisces, giving Pisceans a sense of comfort and completion. This also affects you because you no longer feel as threatened or worried about someone or something out to get you. The only people out to get you are aggressive flirts. Not a bad problem to have. On the 7th, a Full Moon in Leo officially establishes you as Mistress of all you survey. You're the Queen. You and Leo might tussle over who wears the crown. Capricorn is also likely to steal the Stone of Scone from beneath your throne. But from a purely astrological standpoint, you are, at the very least, Queen for a Day. Dress up a little more. Wear more jewelry that complements your hair, skin, and your notorious "I know what you're thinking, you pervy thing" eyes. On the same day, Saturn goes retrograde until late June, suggesting that you carefully examine the image you're sending to others. Is this appropriate? Will it help you achieve your heart's desire or main goal? You also can use this helpful retro phase to rethink an ad campaign, the reputation of your business, and even the line of products and services you offer. Brands may move from moderate to very upscale. Or you might tone it down to less expensive items that people will buy in larger quantity. Mediocrity isn't part of your character, so chances are pretty good that you will not sacrifice quality for quantity. You are already a legend as a great friend with a big heart – and a terrifying enemy. You have few enemies, because once someone foolishly steps over the line, they're worse off than shellacked horse manure. On the 8th, you feel so great about yourself, your friends, family, colleagues and your life in general. Venus enters Aries, trining you and making you KNOW that your methods, judgment and choices have been correct. The 9th and 10th are universally better for listening, thinking, dickering and shopping around for the best deal, solution, or options without committing or limiting yourself to only one person, item or strategy. The 13th, 14th (Valentine's Day – don't forget to smother your sweetheart with his or her favorite things!), 16th and 18th are all juiced up and ready for great times. Things happen easier. It's like getting a string of green lights instead of hitting every red light when you're in a rush. You don't feel rushed at all. You feel at peace and also lusciously satisfied by the way things are going. The 15th is a bit, um, territorial. You don't have to hiss and strike out at competitors. Just sit back and let them embarrass themselves. Those who dare to defy you generally are self-destructive, not-too-bright goofballs – nothing worth losing your mystery and dignity over.
