Nadiya's Zodiac Starcast
Weekly Horoscopes by Nadiya Shah, M.A.

For The Week Of: March 7-13, 2010

THEME OF THE WEEK: The most encouraging news this week is that Mars finally goes direct after over 2 months of being retrograde. After the reconsiderations about which way to best direct our energy, here comes wonderful forward movement. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The most compassionate thing you can do for others in your circle and in the world is to ensure your own happiness. From there you are able to give so much more. Address any barriers to contentment within you now. It is well worth the work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When illusions we have invested in come crashing down, it can be painful. You have a truth that will eventually make you feel very light, but right now it might sting a bit. You will see the wisdom of the fantasy you once held and how great it is to be free of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One Sufi ritual involves sleep deprivation to make altered states of consciousness more accessible. There, rational voices are quieted long enough to let new inspirations in. With less effort, you are going to find your thoughts more powerful than they have been in a while.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Statistically, most of us are from dysfunctional backgrounds. They are the blessed. As they sort out the past they connect to whom they really are. Every hardship holds self-respect in its seed. Your background now reveals blessings previously overlooked.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are we all innately good, and some of us just hide it better? You are now considering the worth of a person. You are looking at the pain they caused in disgust and anger. Be patient and let some time pass. You will eventually see them with less intensity and more compassion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Oscar Wilde said, “When you do what you love, the universe conspires on your behalf.” For some, trust in what they love can be a long fought journey. You are searching for what resonates most within. It is closer than you think, in the thing you have already been doing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Kindness is always the best bet. However, what happens when a person you have valued is demanding more kindness than you have to give? You decide if they are a healthy connection to maintain. If not, show yourself kindness by choosing the future direction of the alliance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): One day the awareness hits you, all those nights you stayed awake stewing about something that others might be thinking, they never mattered at all. Forget what may be occupying your mind. The only thing that matters now, and ever did, is being true to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the middle of your past pain, you did your hardest to keep it together. Now, on the other side, you can see how much better you are for all you have gone through. Your hardest days are over. Your current challenges are simple in comparison. Keep it in perspective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Everyone in LA is either in AA, relapsing from AA, or a Scientologist.” My friend’s humor made me think of the energy of places. You may love the safety of predictability. Putting yourself in a new environment will significantly change you for the better now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Even the people who are considered most good have their critics. Criticism goes with success. The opinions of others, no matter who they would be, are not relevant to what it is that you were created to do. Stay true to yourself and they will fade away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could be busy and at the end of the day, not have anything to show for it. You have, in some ways, felt as if you were running around in a bit of a circle. That changes now as you see your efforts become congruent and count for something.
