Astrology today: Cool, calm, collected, but relentless

Friday, March 8, 2013: Today you could be relentless in the pursuit of your ambitions, and with the Moon in Aquarius there is also a tendency to be cool, calm and collected, indicating that it would be easy for you to be more than relentless you could be ruthless in your pursuits. Additionally, self doubt could come calling bringing back reminders of past failures, and when it does please don't play the victim, become angry and blame others by lashing out. Choose instead to take responsibility for your failures and learn from them so that when the time is right you can move into a new sort of future where your ambition is tempered by caring and compassion.

Today we also enter that the Balsamic Moon phase in anticipation of Monday afternoon's Pisces New Moon. This last Lunar phase is a time for rest and retreat. Whether that means reflecting on the past, actively pursuing options that had been put aside earlier or just waiting, depends on the individual. The time can be seen as a bridge to the future or a dead end. These three or four days of each month are for rest and withdrawal from the outer world. Read more here -
