Lucky Numbers for the Week of February 28, 2014

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 28-March 6, 2014:

3, 12, 17, 42, 47, 55, 61, 73

Mars 2014 Retrograde Analysis by Felissa Rose

Eminent astrologer Felissa Rose offers her perspective on the current Mars in Libra retrograde through the spring of 2014.

RETROGRADE WINTER SPRING 2014 – MARS

After experiencing the retrogrades of Venus and Mercury this winter along comes Mars retrograde beginning in winter and overlapping into much of spring. On March 1, 2014 at 11:25 am EST Mars will be going retrograde at 27 degrees 31 minutes of Libra. Mars will turn direct in motion on May 19, 2014 at 9:32 pm EDT at 9 degrees 1 minute also in the sign of Libra.

Mars rules energy, movement, the way we move and carry out our actions. While this planet is retrograde, human activity slows down. When Mercury is retrograde thought precedes speech, with Mars retrograde we think before taking action. On a positive note this period lessens the tendency to impatience, and rash behavior.

This entire Mars retrograde occurs in Libra, ruled by Venus and opposite Mars ruled Aries. Venus is involved with conciliation, agreements and harmony, a sign action that oriented Mars is not happy in. Libra likes to share and get feedback from others. Diplomacy, negotiations, and agreements would be the way to go during this period. Balancing action and communication works best while Mars is retrograde. Just try to enact the agreement after Mars has gone direct.

In the body Libra rules the kidneys along with equilibrium. Life can seem out of balance during this retrograde and although it might not seem relevant to the last statement keep hydrated and drink lots of water. It's a good time to focus on the imbalances in our bodies and our lives. Since Mars also rules surgery, if possible, put off elective surgery until the retrograde passes, and yes that includes dental.

In terms of exercise and movement go with the tried and true and innovate when Mars is no longer retrograde. Tools and construction are governed by Mars. If possible begin new building and renovation projects when the Mars retrograde is over. Most likely they will take longer than expected and they're apt not to turn out the way you hoped for.

I might have related the following in a previous Mars retrograde article. When I lived in a loft in NYC, our upstairs neighbor spent the entire Mars retrograde hammering away, building and installing a kitchen for his soon to move in girlfriend. Not only did she change her mind and decide not to live with him, he had spent so much money on the project that he could no longer afford to live there and had to move out.

Retrograde energy is internalized. So connect to purposeful action. Watch how you move and try to correct imbalances between your mind and body.

Mars goes retrograde approximately every 2 years. The next one is from April 5, 2016 to June 29, 2016.

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Aries get a helping hand from a guardian angel this week. This leg up will be unexpected and the advantage will be felt in any domestic issue. Build your personal castle on solid rock and not on shifting sand. Bolster your dreams with careful planning, budgeting and good advice and cement it with design savvy. Or just hire a team of experts, write a check and relax!

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Your inspiration does not come to you in the silence of the night or by taking yourself out of the social beehive. In fact you do yourself a disservice by shutting out the world. Taureans need to fly into the action and hum with the general buzz. By doing so, you tap into your genius and make a bold social mark. Or is it a sting? Just watch where you aim your point!

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Power is overly intoxicating. At least it will seem so this week. Geminis pull a few tricks out of their corporate hats and use them to their advantage - whether for love or monetary gain. You exude confidence and oomph and can attract anyone you want. What is most important on your needs hierarchy - a well endowed benefactor or your own country to rule?

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
There is something going on “out there” that will grab your attention, suck you into the action and get you into all sorts of lucky trouble. Doors open and opportunities suddenly abound. You may benefit from moving away from your comfort zone if you take calculated risks and forge beneficial alliances. You have nothing to lose but your mental chains, Cancer. 

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
How can you spice up a stale love affair? How can you fill your love cup so that it overflows? The cosmos encourages you to toss off your inhibitions, let it all hang out and allow the world to have a good long look and wait for the applause. Experiment and try out some new sexy moves, Leo. Stop at the power drill, pantaloons and tarot deck, though.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Who knew that certain friends were so entertaining and so much fun! They certainly didn’t bark like party hounds last week. But now merriment and harmony can be found in almost any venue and with almost anyone. Virgos suddenly discover that even the very bottom of their social barrel is top rated. Well at least it will seem that way. Ahem.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Libras may learn a thing or two about how to improve and transform their job and career track this week. Will you decide to turn over a new healthy leaf and rid your environment from toxins  and dirt? Maybe not entirely but at least you find ways of reducing stress and creating something fresh out of something stale. Exercise by pushing paper around.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Pastimes become much more serious. You are generally very light hearted but even casual, flirty conversations have monumental impact on your life this week. Don’t shy away from either the heaviness or the lightness of being - The critical thing is to just “be” in the moment. Take a bite out of life Scorpio, before it eats your lunch.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
The grass is always greener in the next yard ... or so you think. And you scan the terrain with an acquisitive and needy greedy eye. Sagittarians have an itch to keep up with the Joneses this week. Why is that? It is all fantasy. Instead of running with the herd, spruce up your nest with sexy experiences and  items that make a strong personal statement. Add an exclamation point!

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Sometimes you talk to hear yourself. Sometimes you feel like a voice in the forest who no one hears. This is usually not true in reality. And it is especially untrue this week when even your faint whispers reverberate across town and shiver the timbers. Speak up with authority Capricorn. Let’s make a few of those timbers crash and burn. Just watch your toes....

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
There is more to life than surrounding yourself with gaudy trinkets and cheap tricks. At least that is what the cosmos is trying to tell you, Aquarius. The world now reveals its beauty to you in mysterious, harmonic and karmic ways and not with quick riches and superfluous luxuries. Oh goodie. Well they do say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yeah right.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Ramp up your personality and make a move. This is not the week to sit at home and wait for someone to knock. It is the time to venture out and blend in with the crowd, Pisces. Wander into exciting new social circles that can change your life ... or at least your appearance. So choose wisely and go with the outrageous. Whoo hoo! Cellophane pants are in!
