Green Diva Jean Brookwell offers us a unique (and wickedly accurate) twist on a traditional horoscope using her own special earth-based astrology, which is a combination of intuition, tarot and astrology.

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” Julius Caesar I, ii 140-141

ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Money, money, money!  It is all about money.  Review your expenditures and earnings for the past year.  You must see where you have been before you decide where you are going.  Having done this, you may begin to make plans for your financial security for the coming year.  Be prepared!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  Be careful what you wish!  Your desire is very powerful and you tend to get what you yearn for.  This is a good month to tame random wants and begin to focus on conscious wishing or yearning.  When you put energy and action behind wishes, you will receive delightful results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  It is time to tighten your belt financially and emotionally.  You are at the end of a cycle of having your own way, without much effort.  If you begin now to be more careful with emotions and expenditures, you can learn prudence gradually, thereby avoiding a crash course in frugality.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)  Because you have so many resources and options, you feel scattered and undecided.  Now is the time to take some alone vacation and get focused what you really are willing to do.  You will be planning for the next several years, so it is necessary to be honest with yourself.

LEO (July 23-August 22)  This is a month for choosing between the rules and regulations you have been taught or following your intuition.  The rules are so strong that often you doubt your own intuition.  As one grows older, ones intuition becomes stronger.  You become more powerful as you learn to trust intuitive impulses. 

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)  This is the month for paying attention to your dreams and hopes.  Often they have their roots in your childhood.  Now, as an adult, you have the power to make your wishes a reality!  Some dreams can be acknowledged with a fond smile, but don’t need to be made concrete. 

LIBRA (September 23-October 22)  This month only pay attention to basics.  When confronted with a problem or situation, take time to reduce it to its most uncomplicated elements.  Don’t be quick with answers or rushed into rash decisions.  It pays to be a detective and get rid of false clues.  Keep it simple!

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21)  This month life will hand you a number of opposites.  Don’t ignore them, but learn to work with them.  Given enough heat, a peaceful pan of water becomes a bubbling cauldron.  You can make magic happen with the skillful use of blending opposed concepts.  You’ll amaze yourself and your co-workers.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21)  Your usual sunny disposition will receive a good workout this month.  Don’t allow yourself to wallow in your perceived losses.  Every life has loss and gain.  Your feelings of sadness are caused mostly by attitude.  Be patient and kind to yourself.  Difficult times teach us gentleness and endurance.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19)  Consider what you want accomplished this month.   Realize that you will be the spearhead and the most active worker, if it is to be all achieved.  Fortunately, you have the strength and energy necessary for the tasks at hand.  You are the person who will make Holiday dreams a reality.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)  Declare a truce with guilt and fear concerning your family.  You do not have to bankrupt yourself in order to let the know they are loved.  They probably already know that.  Write a love letter (send or not) to family and friends, then go shopping.  You’ll be amazed at the savings!

PISCES (February 19-March 20)  Lead with your heart.  Almost all of the situations in your life can be healed or improved by applying love.  Don’t let your fears cause you to turn to blame or punishment.  No matter how bad the situation, shaming won’t help.  Being kind and patient with yourself and others works.
