Loving Mystic Meg

I'm a massive believer of horoscopes! Well, when they say nice things that I want to hear of course! Take today for example...

When someone you've known for a while - but never seen as partnership material before - now seems so attractive, its the real love deal.

I like it :-)

Large corporations pay various individuals preposterous sums of money to sit on their boards. In return for these phenomenal salaries, they are required to attend an occasional meeting and rubber-stamp decisions that have been made by others. Meanwhile, a little closer to the cutting-edge, some people are putting in very real effort for very little reward or recognition. Hey ho. That's the way of the world. But it does not have to be the way of your world. You do now have the power to totally alter a key situation and, in the process, to earn a significant reward. Take that chance.

Your March Forecast: Here. Have a stick. First you can get hold of the wrong end of it. Then you can beat yourself over the head with it. And then? Well then you can pay the publishers of this page for the use of it. Who said anything about a gift? We were merely hiring it. Now you are indebted - and it is your own silly fault for not asking the price. Er... isn't it? An awful lot of people now seem keen to undermine your authority. They are trying to cause you to question your judgement or doubt the wisdom of a recent decision. You may not be able to stop them from trying, but you do not have to make things easy for them. Stand your ground this month. Gently but firmly.

Are you a thespian? Actors know how to put on a mask and keep wearing it, day after day, week after week. They can provide an impressive impersonation of any character they care to emulate. That's an option open for you, if you really want to put up a pretence. But why should you want to do that? Does it really matter what others think of you? Are issues of superficial status really so important? You don't have to be anyone this week, other than yourself. And remember, that's the you you are now, not the you you used to be. There's nothing wrong with changing and evolving.

Sometimes, when we take a leap of faith it is as if we sprout wings and soar into a sky of serendipity. Sometimes, we make much the same move, but we end up falling flat on our face. And this week? Well, surely you don't expect me to predict the outcome of your next brave step into the unknown? If I do, it will not be a leap of faith any more. You will be acting on information received. I will tell you as much as you need to know. It is this: regardless of how things pan out in the short term, this Valentine's week, you will be glad of in the long-term of all that you are about to do.

Stars for the month ahead

If today is the first day of the rest of your life, what will tomorrow be? Why, the first day of the rest of the rest of your life! It's never too late to start afresh. But it is always hard to inject optimism into a scenario where the negativity is being artificially conjured. Or, to put it another way, you now have less of a problem than you think. That's precisely why it is proving so difficult to solve! If only there were more to it, you could do more about it. It is almost as if an anxiety is being exaggerated to prove a point'. So begin by getting real. Be honest with yourself and with those around you. Only then can you change whatever needs to change.

Stars for the week ahead

Here comes an excellent week. You will like the way things turn out. Venus and Jupiter are forming a conjunction. That's a deeply reassuring sign of an improvement in your outlook. Now, I suppose I should inject a note of caution here. You are, after all, a Sagittarian. If we give you so much as an inch, you could end up taking up the entire distance from here to the moon. A positive astrological alignment does not automatically equate with a lottery win and a life of passion with your favourite film star. It may be a more modest attainment you enjoy. There is, though, no doubt that something will put a smile on your face soon.

In some parts of the world, they leave their buildings deliberately unfinished. Even if the entire structure is an intricate work of art they keep one little section incomplete. This is to acknowledging the fact, that here on the earth there's always room for improvement! Nothing is ever as good as it can get. When we claim to have it all or pretend that we have solved all our problems, we are kidding ourselves. To be human is to wrestle with incompatible urges and to struggle with factors that are less than ideal. You don't really need a solution to your problem this week, you just need to see it as less of a problem!

Stars for the week ahead

With power, comes responsibility. With responsibility, comes pressure. With pressure, comes a reduction in concentration. With distraction, comes loss of power. All of which is just as well really. Otherwise, we'd never have to keep on doing anything. We could just achieve what we wanted to once and forever. And then sit there becoming bored, frustrated and stale. Be glad of the fact that you are not all-powerful now and don't feel obliged to use what little power you do have too sparingly. You may have less responsibility in a certain situation than you imagine. You may also find that you've got far less of a problem than you think.

'Come on, baby, let the good times roll.' Sometimes, it seems as though the good times are rolling right in without encouragement. Yet there are other times when it feels as if the wheels have stuck and no amount of pushing will ever get them rolling again. It is then that we face our fears, clear up our confusions and resolve our conflicts. Rarely do we have much of a good time when we are doing so. There may come a point, as you enter 2008, when you begin to fear that that the good times are not just failing to roll in, but are rolling away from you! But that's just because you are fixing the line down which those good times will eventually roll again. Be ready for your chances and your challenges in 2008!

Venus enters your sign just before we enter the New Year. Venus is the planet of creativity as well as procreativity. It is the planet of art and design as well as love and romance. It may be that you are about to win admirers for your talents. Or it may just be that you're getting a fan club that doesn't much care what you do as long as you're you. Venus is also the planet of sensual indulgence. Life is about to fill with ways to thoroughly enjoy yourself. This is not just an experience you deserve; it's one you need. For too long, happiness has had to come second to obligation. The question now, is not what can you have? It's how much can you cope with?

Stars for the week ahead

Whose fault is it? Do you even for one fleeting moment think the blame for current strife might actually lie at your own door? You can disabuse yourself of that self-denigrating notion straight away. Of course, in one way, you must take responsibility for the way in which you react to a particular set of circumstances. But that is precisely what you have already done. You have behaved with almost impeccable integrity. To claim cosmic responsibility for the creation of such factors in the first place, is to imbue yourself with a ludicrously exaggerated sense of power and importance! It ain't your fault, but it is up to you to fix it. And this week, you will.

Stars for the month ahead

Only bores and buffoons know the answer to everything. Truly interesting individuals lead lives full of uncertainty. Doubts are a measure of depth. Insecurities a sign of sensitivity. The wisest people on this planet are aware of this. That's why, as fast as they clear up one mystery, they start to investigate another. They fear that life, otherwise, will become too tedious. Think of the angst that currently wraps your tortured soul as clear proof of your wit, charm, style and grace. And enjoy it while it lasts. Your journey from here to the holiday season brings a real solution to a big problem. Let's hope that doesn't make things too dull!

The dictionary defines a paradox as, 'A seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true.' Situations, though, can be every bit as paradoxical as statements. When we face such circumstances, we can either try to square the circle or we can shrug our shoulders. It is easier, by far, to ignore a paradox than to try to understand one. This is because life itself is beyond reason. We feel, the entire time we are here on this planet, as if we have been - and will be - here forever. Yet we know that's not true! There's plenty in your world this week that makes no sense. Ignore that. Just relish the magic within it.

Stars for the week ahead

Have you ever got into the car and started to drive, only to realise that you have inadvertently left the parking brake on? For a while, you can't work out why your vehicle is so sluggish. Then suddenly, it becomes obvious. Sometimes, we make a similar error with the vehicle of our life. We begin to wonder why we just don't seem to be getting anywhere and we feel frustrated because progress is so slow and sluggish. Then it dawns on us. We are holding ourselves back. We are letting ourselves be weighed down by irrelevant fears. There will be a Full Moon in your opposite sign at the end of the week, that will help you pick up a lot more speed.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. You can take a teetotaller to a bar but you can't make them drunk. This week, we need to look at what's allegedly impossible and keep looking at it until we see a route to success. The world is full of people who think they know where their own limits lie and what their companions are restricted by too. How do they know this? It is a moot point. Just as a positive prediction can easily give rise to a self-fulfilling prophecy, so a pessimistic belief can turn into a miserable reality. You can do what you think you can do this week. You can't do what you think you can't do. So think positive.

Stars for the month ahead

Some people get a real thrill from being pessimistic, critical or unhelpful. The more petty-minded they can be, the happier they can grow. Such characters have a particular dislike of people like you. You embody all the qualities that they secretly envy but pretend to despise. You are ambitious and adventurous. You have courage and clarity. You see the big picture. How satisfying it must be to stop you in your tracks by enforcing an archaic rule or unnecessary regulation. How they must chortle when they see you stumble. Don't rise to their bait in November. And don't give ground to your own inner critic. A true triumph is imminent.

Stars for the week ahead

The world is full of people who are paid for using only a small portion of their brain. Workers, for example, who are required to assemble components, not to design or market those objects; who are expected to focus on one key administrative area regardless of their potential to be helpful in another department. 'Do your job, and don't do more than your job or less than it.' That's an unimaginative ethos, fostered in a thousand faceless firms. You are capable of much more than you are currently supplying; at work, at home, in pretty much every area of life. If you have something to give, give it in the right spirit and it will be received in the same way

Stars for the week ahead

There are easier things you could be doing. You have set yourself some very exacting goals. Are you, perhaps, being just a little overly ambitious? OK, OK. I apologise for even suggesting that. I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. Of course, you have to do what feels right. Of course, too, you have to do things the hard way if the 'easy way' involves a compromise you can't feel proud of. For this, you don't need to be criticised, you need to be congratulated. You also need to be encouraged to continue. For you have further to go along a difficult road. Your task remains tricky, but by no means impossible!

Stars for the week ahead

By now, you know how it works. You turn to this page hoping for insight. Instead, you get to read an odd mixture of metaphor and analogy... from which you have to 'infer' a meaning. This week, at the risk of breaking with tradition, I want to get a little more specific. You're about to go 'up' in the world. Respect and recognition are on their way to you. You've got power over a key situation, whether you know it or not. Something that once seemed inexplicably impossible now looks obviously feasible. Tough times may come again but right now, the happy tide is coming in. Sorry to be so precise. I'll try to be vaguer next week!
