Try not to be critical of others. We’re all human.

FORECAST OF THE WEEK AHEAD: As exciting as the past month has been, we still have powerful aspects for change in play for the final week of the Pisces sun. Psychic aspects will make Monday magical. Try to guess who’s on the phone before picking it up. Take note of your dreams! They’re telling you something. Warmer weather is around the corner, but the cold will make its final stand in a memorable way on Wednesday through next weekend. Monday and Tuesday, the moon will be friendly and will promote cooperation. All week, Mars will provide us with plenty of energy for great competitive sports. It will also boost our efforts at the gym and whereever we go to keep in shape. On the world’s stage, the price of past wrongs will be paid in full, as the karmic power of the asteroid Chiron (the significance of this recently discovered outer body is still in debate) is exactly at its galactic center. There are those who say that part of each individual’s destiny is entangled in that of our community and our nation, as part of an "old-soul" group. If soul groups are real, then we’ll see human drama on a grand scale next weekend, when the moon triggers the impending inevitable, unavoidable consequences of actions on the past.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Exuberant Pisces Liza Minnelli is an example of the recuperative powers of this sign. After bouts with hip surgery and other complications, Liza has rebounded with the energy of a 20-year-old. Look for this superstar to front a new talk/entertainment program next year. She may be considered as a replacement for Rosie O’Donnell, If Rosie truly decides to take a break from show business to tend to her family.
