Michael's 2010 Horoscope, Part Three...

very nice

Thank you!

Although you may be defiantly dancing at the edge of an abyss, there is no escaping the truth today. You cannot keep up the illusion of competence when you feel as if you are running out of steam. Your smartest strategy may include a bit of rest and relaxation, but this doesn't mean another distracting activity. Gather your strength now so you have it when you really need it.

You may need to retreat while you figure out a new approach, for it's apparent that your old one isn't bringing you what you want. Perhaps an apology is in order, especially if you overstepped your bounds. But before you withdraw, consider how far you need to go in order to regain your composure. Remember, it's not an all-or-nothing situation. If you just quit, you'll probably end up resenting those who can help you the most.

There's no need to pretend that you have everything under control today. In fact the more you try to hide your lack of confidence, the more transparent you will be. But you have a chance now to turn your shortcomings into strengths if you are willing to go out on a limb and admit your fears. Instead of appearing foolish by covering up what everyone already knows, get your concerns out into the open. Others will be willing to support you if they know you are being honest.

Hmmm...looks like a few days of introspective work.

It's as if someone changes the station on your television today when the Moon makes her midday shift into fiery Leo. You wake up from your earlier complacency and swing into action, as if you were waiting for the right moment to arrive before starting something new. But you may run into an obstacle before you reach your goal. Don't push too hard or your frustration will tempt you to retreat. On the other hand, don't give up prematurely if success takes longer than you expect.

A difficult situation can turn into one that is based on love, as your key planet Mars is conspiring with sensual Venus today. Unfortunately, you can do all the right things, but may still feel as if you failed unless you can get someone else to join you in your efforts. However, the truth is that you don't require anyone else now, even if it might be more enjoyable to share the magic of the moment.

You look like you are ready to take a risk now in order to get something you have wanted for a while. But beneath your cavalier appearance, you're probably doing more calculations than anyone might realize. When you finally do climb out on a limb, you optimistically believe that you won't fall. To be safe, just make sure you've built your strategy on facts and not false assumptions based on unrealistic fantasies.

You may feel as if you've been riding a seesaw recently with all your emotional ups and downs. Today, however, you are more even-keeled as you begin to get a handle on the relationship between what you want and what you're willing to give up in order to get it. If you've gone overboard in your quest for independence, now it's time to be extra supportive of someone you love in order to heal the rift.

Today may be chaotic as you are distracted by one thing after another. Although you are a force to be reckoned with, you're not as invincible as you believe. Losing your temper now is not a smart idea because you could create more problems than you realize. Physical exercise can help, but give yourself permission to take additional timeouts when needed to help with your anger management.

Responsibilities at work may have piled up to the point where you don't know how you're going to do everything that's expected of you. Luckily, someone can come to your rescue now, even if only to help you put things into a more workable perspective. You don't have to finish all your incomplete projects today, nor must you solve all your problems. But don't miss the opportunity to get a little more organized, day by day.

Although you try to remain unbiased, you do know what you want and your feelings continue to intensify throughout the day. At first, the graceful Libra Moon assists in your process of finding equilibrium but you are unable to hold on to a detached point of view once it enters Scorpio. Be willing to let go of your previous expectations in order to make room for something new to enter your life.

You may talk about subjects today that you normally avoid, but the Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Sharing seems to remove some of your fears. Although you are usually more comfortable doing something than discussing it, you're eager to learn from what others think about your point of view now. Don't fall into the trap of trying to convince anyone that you're right. Instead, express your feelings and listen to the feedback you receive.

You are eager to show others how easygoing you can be now, but it quickly becomes apparent that it's not as simple as you wish. Your desire to please someone you like can lead you astray as you unsuccessfully try one thing after another. Instead of coming across with clear intentions, you may seem scattered unless you find a way to reclaim your sense of self and express it from the inside out.

I've always thought of Michael as very easy going...

It's amazing how quickly a complicated situation can resolve into a much simpler one. You may feel quite a bit better now, but don't fool yourself into believing that you're home free. Your current relief may largely be from the improving circumstances, but some denial could also contribute to your positive state of mind. Remember, avoiding a crucial issue can feel good for a while, but it's not the same thing as really solving a problem.

You have grown bored with an aspect of your daily routine and are tempted to do something about it. However, if you truly want to make a change that matters, don't succumb to your emotions today or you may regret your actions sooner than you think. It's wiser now to set long-term goals instead of forcing an issue for short-term gratification.

You are driven toward success now, but you may not be ready to make all the sacrifices required to accomplish your objectives. Still, you could do your share of deep soul-searching today as you consider narrowing your ambitions by setting aside some of the less realistic parts of your plan. It's crucial to be pragmatic, but don't let anyone talk you out of your vision. Hold on to your core beliefs, even while they are being honed in the fire of everyday practice.

More sacrifices? Poor Mikey.

You appear to be all business now as you discuss your plans in a very down-to-earth manner. And although you can keep up the serious dialogue for a while, sooner or later you'll get bored with talk about work, money, and other practical issues. You have a busy week ahead of you, yet you're already scheming of ways to have some fun. Nevertheless, it's smarter to concentrate on your responsibilities before you go out and play.

Your key planet Mars has you all fired up today and you are eager to do something fun. Unfortunately, you might not be able to exercise your independence as much as you wish due to previous commitments. If you get angry with yourself because you didn't plan ahead, make sure that you don't try to shift the blame to anyone else.

Fun mood, huh?

Michael would be a wonderful playmate and good friend. XO

When you talk, you want other people to listen, Aries. More than likely, your thoughts will drift toward humanitarian ideas and philosophies. You're eager to share your ideas with others, and you may have a utopian dream that, if everyone just followed, would make the world a much better place. People may make fun of you for having such a perspective, but this definitely doesn't mean that you should stop dreaming.

You might try to minimize the importance of having your finances in order, but your beliefs about the power of intention won't pay the rent. Although there may be abundance in the universe, it isn't going to provide for you now unless you remain focused and work hard. Pay attention, for a unique opportunity could come your way, testing your resolve to stay on track. Even if it looks promising, a little extra caution today makes good sense.

I think thas good for ud all
