ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Aries love to be in the spotlight. So why have you been so shy lately? What are you trying to hide? It’s now time to remove that fig leaf. The fates fixate on you and shine a penetrating spotlight on all that you are trying to avoid in your life. Good thing too; why not turn over a new leaf? The fig leaf forbidden. It’s time to risk exposure.

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Taureans are plopped right into the epicenter of the social scene. Lucky you. You now have popularity plus and can make the most out of any friendship now. Plan some extraordinary events to celebrate the upcoming spring season and resolve to expand your social circle into a globe. You might also want to round out the crowd by adding a few squares to the mix.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
No sooner do your plans for expansion take a sharp turn than you decide to apply yourself to buffing your corporate star. Geminis find that it’s a good time for major moves and shakes. Will you try to crush a boss in your turf battle? Be prepared for all possibilities - accept the punishment or commandeer the offensive. How offensive do you need to be...?

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
On the one hand, this is a great time for you to escape and recharge your engines. On the other hand, you can stay close to home and just expand your base of operations. Cancers feel part of the greater community and should reach out and touch someone. All for one and one for all! Well maybe “all” except a couple of snotty you-know-whos....

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Just when you were ready to dive head first into a heady hot tub of honeys, you might stop and consider possible  heartache. Foolish Leo! There are no risks when there are no expectations. Enjoy the flirtations for what they are - fun, frothy and forgettable. How can it be anything else when all you are wearing are the smudges of your valentine chocolates?

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgos are encouraged to line up their love matches and see how they stack up. One-to-one relationships are highlighted now. So either make the most out of current partnerships or pluck your soulmate from the bunch on the vine. Treat others the way you want to be treated and don’t allow yourself to be a doormat. (Unless that’s your thing....)

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Libras often become bored with details, but now you cannot escape from them. They pile up on your desk and demand attention. Deal with them now so they won’t bog you down and cramp your style. And what about  your health, diet and exercise? Get those gams in gear and promise yourself a new you with a bod that stops traffic. Do I see a pile up ... or a detour?

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
They say that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. And now, Scorpios can create an inspiring masterpiece ... primarily through sheer will, determination and sweat. Seek expressive and fun filled outlets to exercise your artistic muse. You’re in a creative riff that can adapt to any medium. Gee I wonder if nude body painting counts?

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Use the week to concentrate on family and domestic issues. Sagittarians are now more practical, steady and a bit aloof which serves you well in any highly charged emotional encounter. The fact is that there are those who continue to fob their issues on you. Don’t let them. It’s a fresh new you. Go out and spoil some well deserving folks.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Got an opinion? Let’s hear it. Capricorns manage to sound balanced and knowledgeable in almost any subject for a change. Will you use your gift of gab for selfish or altruistic pursuits...? Let’s hope that the prospect of heightened karma entices you to use your good vibes for the benefit of your community rather than solely for personal gain. Alas, we can only hope.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
This week makes otherwise generous Aquarians downright cheap. There is something about your finances (or lack thereof) that makes you very fiscally inclined now. Afraid of not having enough? Don’t worry. Plan as if you were preparing for early retirement. But forget the lottery. This can only be accomplished by buckling down and belting up. Oh goody.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Pisces feel the yoke of responsibility tugging at their necks but don’t worry - you are also infused with optimism and confidence. Breathe free and soar, at least for the next few weeks or so. Get out there and meet as many new people as possible. This  is the time for wonderful adventures, lifetime memories and even some new friends... if you can get off your couch.




Lucky Numbers for the Week of February 15, 2013

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes. So with that in mind, here are some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....?

I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth.

Here are the lucky numbers for the week of February 15-21, 2013:

12, 24, 29, 45, 57, 76, 77, 80

There are many ways to delve into your own consciousness to find luck and intuition. Try reading Dream Power/Improve Your Luck (Super Strength Series) and see if your dreams give you any clues and premonitions. Here's a guide to the best books available this month

Power Felt

Power feltWhat exactly is Power Felt? It is a fascinatingly new way to recharge your devices like a cellphone by the use of your body heat and a piece of this miracle material. It converts wasted body heat into electric current.

Its uses are many from powering up devices to lining automobile seats to improve battery power, or for insulating pipes or collecting heat under roof tiles to reduce gas or electric bills. It could also have monitoring applications: lining clothing or sports equipment to help determine performance, or wrapping IV or wound sites for tracking patients’ medical needs. Even the toy industry could see a big impact. Perhaps most important, you could keep it with an emergency kit for powering a cell phone, a flashlight, a weather radio. This could be crucial during power outages or after accidents.

How does it work? Power Felt is made up of tiny carbon nanotubes locked in flexible plastic fibers and made to look like fabric. It creates a charge by using temperature differences, such as room temperature versus body temperature. This principle is known as thermoelectrics – currently the subject of extensive research within the scientific community. But what if there is no significant temperature difference? Not a problem: Power Felt also has the ability to collect power from mechanical noise, any vibration that’s around it – the motion of the body or the vibration of a car.

Amazing!

Yoga Works Wonders on Cardiovascular Health

YogaMany in the medical community prescribe yoga to promote cardiovascular health and manage heart conditions.

“If more of my patients practiced yoga, I would have more time to practice yoga.”

So says Dr. Gervasio Lamas, chief of the Columbia University Division of Cardiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, and he not only prescribes the ancient Hindu practice, but he takes the medicine, too.

“As you move into your 50s you get these funny aches and pains. Yoga chases that away,” he said. “I remember when I was beginning to get up in the morning, different, random, stupid things would hurt. My wife got me to start doing yoga and it all went away.”

Horoscope for the Week of February 11, 2013

Marilyn monroe 21Life becomes a series of potholes and bumps as Saturn retrogrades. Don’t even try to get things under control. No matter how hard you try to boss the course, you wind up pushed and prodded. I guess there are worse things that could happen...

(Marilyn Monroe had Saturn in Scorpio)

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Something sets your jets on fire and your lust is launched on a collision course. Before you explode on some distant arid shore, beached like a forsaken whale, check to see if your own actions led you astray. You are feisty, sexy and way out of control now. Aries may temporarily misplace their innate charm. That is fine as long as you don’t completely lose it.

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Why is it that in your greatest moment of need, partners refuse to compromise? In fact they become stubborn and ornery. Take a reality check, Taurus. Maybe you are selfishly pressuring them too much. You turn the heat on in any relationship where you want what you want when and where you want it. Well you can’t always get what you want. ‘Nuf said.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Geminis find themselves fomenting a revolution at work. They are darn tired of pushing their tired nubby stub of a pencil with no chance of getting their due reward. In fact, they may even begin to think that they are losing ground while lesser mortals gain the higher ground. Will you run out of patience? You may want change now but it may come later.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Cancers are goaded into taking ill advised risks and crossing the line in the name of art, crazy romance and fantastic once in a lifetime adventure. Fun has a way of getting totally out of control. This will be a week to remember, even if it is recalled some time later with a need for a quiet place, an ice pack and an aspirin. Ah but what a way to go!

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
This may be the week when you can no longer restrain yourself around the house. Leos are infused with over the top energy that demands immediate action. Could it involve relatives who have been getting under your skin? Perhaps. Could it entail an entire change of domestic scenery? Quite likely. Will you decorate, renovate or detonate? Kaboom, lion.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Most people think of you as quiet, restrained and often engagingly diplomatic. Oh do you have them fooled! Too many things have gone on without a word of protest whispered. That’s it. Virgos must now call it as they see it. Good. Things bubble and gush out to the surface. Try to think first before you speak. Oh what the heck. Make a mouthy mess.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Expect to jump in way over your head if you allow your greedy id to take over your better judgement now. Libras have an  acquisition itch. More is not enough and what you already have in hand looks a bit mangy. Of course that is not the reality but it is what you feel. Go with the economic flow and try to bank your stash before you waste it on pure ego.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Even quiet Scorpios seem to have a rocket launcher on their backs this week. You are revved up to be a social tornado. But before you skew your whirl and splat into the nearest wall, take a look at how you are perceived and what you really want out of every encounter. They say that sometimes demure and quiet gets all the rapt attention. And then again ....

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Don’t jump to conclusions this week. Adding up all the clues will not add up after all. More likely than not, Sagittarians will get it all wrong and over-react to imagined slights. While I don’t expect you to roll over and be a doormat (unless that is your thing and then who am I to judge?), not everyone is out to get you right now.... except a certain you -know-who.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Capricorns are apt to over schedule their social calendar now. There are too many interesting opportunities and too many interesting pals available all at the same time. Be a bit choosy with your time and don’t over extend. Enjoy every moment and shine. Too too soon you slide into the B-list. But study harder and maybe you’ll wind up with at least a B+.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
It may be said that this is the week to make your mark on the corporate hierarchy. It may also be said that this mark is indelible. That being said, don’t do anything that will create a smudge, rip, splat or smear. Do your best, go very slowly and check the landscape for just the right opportunity. Aquarians want attention now! Oh be careful of what you wish!

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Pisces have itchy feet and need to explore new environs immediately! But you will find that things zig when you need to zag. No sooner do you set out on a certain course, bound for a delicious destination than you are pushed in the opposite, less desirable direction. Better keep an eye on your luggage and pack a map... or perhaps that sexy guide?
