Michael's Daily Horoscope

Feb 17

You are in a playful mood today, and even something that's hard work can seem like a game. Although you may be gleeful that you are in touch with your inner child, make sure you aren't just being foolish. It's easy to miss something important that could prompt you to take things more seriously. With so many planets now in your 11th House of Future, be certain about where you are going before you blindly head off in a new direction.

Feb 18

Today's fantasy-prone Full Moon falls in your 5th House of Romance and could bring disillusionment in relationships if you are expecting too much. You may feel discouraged as you begin to see someone more clearly. However, over-spiritualizing your emotions is tempting, for it's easier to forgive other people now than it is to share your true feelings. No matter what, it's healthier to tell the truth than to hide your desires in lofty generalizations.

Feb 19

You may imagine yourself to be as unrestrained as a soaring eagle today, but your responsibilities don't leave you enough freedom to actually take a flight of fancy. Even if you think you know the escape route, it's still complicated to make your first move. This is frustrating because you are usually skilled at starting something new. Don't judge yourself harshly for not following through on your feelings. For now, doing the best you can is good enough.

Feb 20

Your attempts to hold on to a faulty assumption today are futile as an unscheduled reality check quickly grabs your attention and pulls you from your reverie. It's challenging to find a graceful way out of a difficult situation if you are caught up in your own idealism. It will take courage to be open enough to receive assistance from a close friend or partner. Don't be afraid of trying a different approach.

Feb 21

Your friends seem extra supportive today and you feel good about the role they play in your life. Their approval usually boosts your confidence, but you may not be able to shake a nagging suspicion that someone isn't so happy with your plans. You are worried that others aren't telling you their true feelings. If you dwell on expecting bad news, you might actually get it. This current wave of self-doubt will most likely pass if you remember the power of positive thought.

Feb 22

You may be growing more impatient day by day, especially if someone seems more interested in getting to the bottom of your feelings than moving on to whatever comes next. Nevertheless, taking your time and delving into an emotional issue might be just what you need right now. Set aside your desire for personal satisfaction for a day or two. Finish up old relationship business instead of distracting yourself with something new.

February 24, 2011
The temptation to force an issue or to try to "get your way" can be strong today, dear Aries, but you might find you're butting your head against brick walls. Consciously attempt to slow yourself down. Patience is not easy for you at times, but will help you to enjoy your day. Plans are not going to move forward at lightning speed right now, but your personal life could certainly bring rewards if you open yourself to the opportunity.

February 25, 2011
While there can be some frustration in the air today, it's a good day for you for communicating your ideas with persuasion and for romantic liaisons, dear Aries. The trick is to use creativity and to avoid getting bummed out over differences of opinion. If you find yourself truly bothered by a different point of view, ask yourself if it's really worth getting worked up about.

February 26, 2011
Delays are more likely to occur today, dear Aries, so take advantage of the time the delays give you to reevaluate what you are doing. You could find an error or an inconsistency that needs correcting, and you'll be thankful later that you weren't afforded the opportunity to charge ahead.

Feb 27

Being patient today is an intelligent way to improve your chances of reaching your goals. But this is not an excuse to turn into a couch potato. Relaxing for a while is fine, but being lazy when you have things to do is not in your best interest. Establishing a steady pace will help you get your chores out of the way so you can chill out later.

Feb 28

You may be annoyed that circumstances aren't cooperating with you today, requiring you to manage an unexpected situation. Although you won't necessarily mind a surprise or two, you aren't ready to surrender. Intuitively, you know that progress can elude measurement. The real gains you make now come from a change in your attitude, so establish a steady pace you can maintain all day without worrying about the final product.

Mar 1

Think twice before doing something that you might quickly regret. It doesn't really matter if your intentions are good; you are so wrapped up in your needs that you could hurt someone's feelings without even realizing what you did. Just because a plan makes immediate sense to you doesn't mean that others will share your perspective. Talking things over with those you love will help in more ways than one.

Mar 2

New ideas are blowing in on a fresh breeze and you are eager to see which ones could positively impact your life. This is an ideal time to test a strategy that you have been considering; within a day or two you will be able to tell whether or not it will fly. Don't worry about others judging your efforts, because if your plan works, they will probably jump on board. For now, just give it your very best and see how it goes.

Mar 3

Although you are able to get in touch with your inner warrior today, it's not easy to follow through with decisive action. Ironically, you might feel a bit overwhelmed, even if you are motivated to take charge of your life. If you don't know where to start, ease up and give yourself permission to float without direction for a while. There's no need to drive yourself crazy because you'll regain your bearings naturally by next week.

Mar 4

It doesn't matter how excited you are about a current project or a social cause, you still may withdraw from the front lines as today's New Moon highlights your 12th House of Spirituality. Worldly success is less interesting now as your intuition speaks to you in ways that draw your attention inward. There's no need for concern; this temporary state of contemplation will only inspire you to greater heights.

Mar 5

Your unrealistic fantasies could spin out of control today as the Moon completes her visit to your 12th House of Imagination. As much as you try to focus on your responsibilities, they may be left to fulfill another day. You prefer to continue your active dreaming now, although you will likely pay the price for any current escapist behaviors. Instead of wasting your time and energy complaining about how much there is to do, just get on with it so you can relax later.

Mar 6

Although it's not quite your time of year yet, you can already feel the excitement. Instead of seeing obstacles, you see possibilities. Rather than thinking about the hard work ahead, you are visualizing your destination as if you have already arrived. However, there is a little problem: your current tendency to avoid the more challenging aspects of what's happening can quickly land you in a heap of trouble. Prevent problems by slowing down and thinking before you act.

Mar 7

You may not be able to justify playing with your friends today, even after your workday is over. You could have such a large backlog of obligations now that you don't feel finished even after you complete several items on your checklist. However, feeling guilty doesn't serve any real purpose, nor does endlessly explaining your actions to anyone else. Just do as much as humanly possible and then reward yourself by letting go of any lingering concerns that prevent you from enjoying the present moment.

Mar 8

You are a forward-thinking person who is being further encouraged to look ahead by the pioneering Aries Moon. However exciting your dreams may be now, you might need to control your impatience if you feel that you cannot wait. Thankfully, your impulsiveness settles down today, enabling you to enjoy what is unfolding each and every minute. Remember to slow down and smell the coffee instead of just drinking another cup.

Mar 9

You don't want to wait any longer because your anticipation has changed into impatience by now. Unfortunately, you must acknowledge that the timing for starting something new is less than ideal. You are tempted to continue your planning, while sitting tight for a few more days. Thankfully, your intuition is working well, so follow your instincts and go for it only once you feel ready.

Mar 10

You are feeling pretty good about yourself now, but someone might say something that tugs on your conscience. Although you may not have any reason to feel guilty, you dislike being misunderstood. Naturally, you want to clarify your position before moving on. Don't put this off; attend to any unresolved issue as quickly as you can, so you are ready for the crazy times ahead.

Mar 11

The entry of radical Uranus into your sign today can start a process that takes years to play on through, bringing many exciting changes into your life. You have much to gain from setting long-term goals, but need to temper your plans with flexibility. Although you may feel as if you cannot miss your target now, you could become a victim of your own overconfidence. Doing your homework will help to ensure your preparedness for the shift ahead.

Mar 12

You may be scattered now, yet you can still get a lot accomplished if you focus on the most important tasks. Unfortunately, every thought you have seems like a good one, so it's difficult to complete one thing before running off to begin something else. Naturally, this is a familiar theme for you spontaneous Rams. Take control of your restlessness today by committing to finish whatever you start.

Mar 13

There is a finite limit to your seemingly bottomless well of vitality. You may be running on empty now because it's unlikely that you conserved any energy over the past few days. Don't pretend that you can continue to carry on without any worries. Instead of waiting until you hit a wall, get some rest today. There's no excuse to procrastinate when it comes to taking care of yourself.

Mar 14

It's hard to please others today. One voice yells go while another shouts stop. Your key planet, impulsive Mars, runs into Saturn's obstacles and there seems to be no way to break through the resistance you are experiencing. If you push too hard, you'll wish you didn't. But if you don't try at all, you'll wish you did. Steer clear of extremes as you work the gas pedal and the brake to stay within the speed limit.
