This Forecast in effect
March 15 to 29, 2009

The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.

Flash! Did you see it?? Did you see the lightning strike? It might have come as a revelation, or a breakthrough, or new idea, or creative inspiration, or a sudden flash of intuition. Next: meditate on it. Don't be so quick to dismiss it as an oddity, or even to rush off and do something with it. Just sit with it for a bit. Think about it. There are details and subtleties you won't want to miss. So just allow your memory of whatever it was to hover in your mind for a while. If you're visually oriented, picture it. If you're kinaesthetic, get a body sense of what it felt like in your body. If you're auditory, listen closely. Not even sure if you noticed anything? Then just sit for a couple of days and think about your experiences of the last few days. Or better yet, write down what you remember (or journal it as it happens). What stands out? What is or was out of the ordinary? It might even be something weird like: what was unusual was the fact that life was incredibly ordinary or calm or indistinct. There is a jewel for you in the first days of this lunar cycle (March 15th, give or take a few days).

Your reaction to these days is important to notice. Were you disturbed? Happy? Disappointed? Excited? Hopeful? Horrified? Afraid? Angry? Shocked? Relieved? Bored? Next, think about how you dealt with your reaction. Did you make a mad dash for the refrigerator for some ice cream therapy? Did you rush off to talk about it with friends? Did you feel inspired to go out into the world and take in a beautiful day? Did you pull into yourself and shut down emotionally? Did you reach for some wine or drugs to put yourself into a different space? Did you feel moved to write about it, draw about it, sing about it, dance about it? Did you have an impulse to dismiss it, reject it, deny it, judge it or condemn it? Did you scratch your head and wonder what the &%#! that was? Did you forget about it as you turned your attention to more important things in your life? Did you start imagining all the possibilities that could come from it, and then get stuck because you couldn't decide what to do next?

The point is there are abundant new possibilities that have just entered your life. You have the next 4 weeks to either develop them into something new, or to create a foundation on which to develop them further over the coming months. It's important to gather information, awareness and insight about that that can be before you put it into action, or you might miss some of the vast potential you've been given. Even if your life has taken a bad turn recently, if you can look beyond your current loss or problem you will probably see that a new door has opened up as a result, which wasn't available to you before. Whatever your situation, it's important not to get stuck in a dilemma of seeing life in all-or-nothing or black-and-white or either-or terms. Moderation and balance will help you navigate the shades of grey in between the extremes. Try just sitting with the situation for a bit before deciding how to act or react. Extreme reactions are only likely to make the waters a lot more choppy and turbulent than they need to be and can interfere with your ability to find the resources you need that live in calmer waters. A personal astrology reading will also help you focus your intentions in a positive direction.
