Quan explains the four elements in astrology

Quan explains the four elements in astrology

Pisces: This has been a winter of discontent, and not just because of weather in KC. You have been needing to be stripped of some bad habits as it relates to diet, nutrition, exercise and generally being more organized. Efficiency is the watch word. Exactitude is the other. As the planet of passion, self-assertion has begun to move again in incompatible fixed fire sign of Leo, you are at odds with ego and surrender. Know when to take control and speak decisively. Instead of using conditional verbs like "may," use "will." Do not have any anxiety regarding this process of cleaning up and repair. Your gifts exist in direct proportion to your analytical process of self-examination between the delicate balance of heart and mind. One note, though, this weekend, be extremely clear about your desire to humbly serve versus allowing someone to enforce humility from without. Confrontation and debate are your friends.

Aries: It has been said that love means never having to say you’re sorry. Well, an apology can have the energy of a work of art. It must make you feel, not simply think. When you come from an insecure motivation, you lack confidence, and start to overcompensate. Since your ruler has been retrograde since December 20, you have come face-to-face with your bossiness, failures and lack of receptivity. Mars has left the hall of mirrors (another way of saying he is no longer retrograde or appearing to go backwards from Earth’s perch). You are hard-wired for bossiness. Failures occur mostly when you take no true risks because you want to please everyone. Your style of how you express love (and general openness) has been transformed. Knowing when to accept support can be as important as giving support. Powerfully charismatic days this month are the 16th and 17th.

Taurus: Flown in an airplane, haven’t you? “When traveling with small children, place your mask on first…” You know the drill in the advent of destabilized cabin pressure. Hello, caregiver: know how to give care to yourself first. Yes, there are times you may miss the air traffic controller’s warning of flying too close to another airplane. But, in human interactions, you have the capacity of carrying immense hurt for far too long. Breathe, forgive and let go. It is a gift for you. The Pisces New Moon on March 15 @ 401p CDT has been tailor made for you to search for and find the holy grail of soulful maturity and bestowing grace. You will start disassociating from the wounds of the past as the newly trained pilot of your own private jet. You will remember the lessons learned on your metaphorical flight plans, but uncharted territories within your chosen dreams await. The caregiver receives care…how about that? You are free to move around the universe.

Gemini: As the zodiac’s first well-known multi-tasker, your ability to dabble but not master an activity can cause problems for your reputation. For the past three months, your zealous search for the truth has caused some sensitive folk to retreat from you. Make only the amends that you deem necessary. Yes, professionally you may have to eat crow. (In animal lore, crows symbolize karmic law.) Understand that through your quick speaking and need to help, you could have unwittingly set someone on the wrong path. Take the next several days leading up to the New Moon on March 15 to question those who may have preferred sticks and stones instead of your passionate words and assessments. Let them voice their disillusionment. Your info acts as a salve. Your capacity for inspiring others through your magical blending of objectivity and empathy increases as surely as the day does in the spring.

Cancer: Birds, hands and bushes, how to take risks juxtaposed to when. Your magnetism can be easily overlooked by those who desire more flash. You like it like that. It enchants you to be underestimated. As the days wax and wane between winter and spring, the wild adventurous spirit grows within your soul. Imagine in rapt detail the next time you can meander through time and space unfettered. Warrior Mars sets an agenda of dominance over the next two months. You have reworked those reasons for being too cautious long enough. Open and aware people surround you; they conspire to increase your status. Release the oppressive sense of duty like you let go of the bird in your hand. To hoard anyone, anything or any memory decreases your vitality. Create a path to the bushes. If you do not start a trek, you are likely to lament your circumstances.

Leo: You against the world. You have been seeing battles outside yourself where there are none. In essence, you have dismissed the baser aspects of human nature. We are a mixture of light and dark, good and evil. To get caught up in intellectual discussions of the so-called gray areas without a corresponding plan leaves you isolated from the very people you claim to want to connect. To set up these dualistic notions acts like a moat around the castle of real soul-to-soul bonding. In the gray areas, there is evolution. Through your growth, you demonstrate an unerring ability to promote yourself in crystal clear proportion of how well you know yourself…offstage. Those inner voices a.k.a. the roles you play comprise the unique distinction of how healthy you are. Absolute acceptance is love for yourself and others. Then the world will seem less scary, because as you integrate your disparate parts (until New Moon on 3/15, you will be fragmented and of low energy) you exhibit a ‘thumbs up’ persona.

Virgo: Knowing when it works makes not only your day, but your life. If it sounds dramatic, that's because it is. You have to come to terms with how you want to be connected with another soul without diminishing another soul through constant critique. Turning up the drama knob, so you can be heard, works. Efficiency, particularly within your peer relationships, means production. Production in the affectionate quotient underscores your shared esteem within your partnerships. Business partners have the financial bottom line, and for intimate partners, the sensual bottom line has more to do with how many times your bee-hind is squeezed. With the number of planets in Aries and Leo, healthy self-worth begets self-assertion. Can’t have either, if you keep imploding yourself through excessive critical analysis. Know when what you want will work, no diggity, no doubt, maybe you‘ve got to bag it up? In less than musical parlance, with dignity, you have no doubts, and your life works splendidly. I guarantee it.

Libra: Negotiator, negotiator, lend me your ear. The more offered and the least amount you are willing to accept sets up the ground rules for coming together. You want to set the rules of any newly forming social order. Except that at late winter, your normal idealistic reserves are at low tide. Let the next week provide you with an internal vision of what is possible when you perceive what is fair from truly placing yourself in another’s shoes. The Taoists state, "the journey of a 1,000 miles begins with the first step." Bargain from shared ideals. Know your other party. Through March 31, multifaceted Venus courts prospective partners from Aries. You’ll know what your body wants through seeing it through your mind’s eye. Social orders crumble when and/or if you lose principled sight. It’d be better to not decide, if you can't be enthusiastic about what you’re being called on to decide…although you can mix in pleasure this weekend, and then see how business grows from that.

Scorpio: Remember your first nursery rhyme? It is time to return to simpler days. When you function from your roots, culture and sanctuary, you can act as the shaman to the world. Shamans do not subscribe to gender roles and the associated expectations. There is a innocent mixture of fire (Aries) and water (Pisces) at present. Learn how to let it be. Your inner circle, those ladies and men in waiting, are trustworthy. You can put whatever has been broken back together again. As the days and nights move toward being equal, you can enjoy cookie crumbs as well as expecting more. Venus creates organic honey through your work as long as you bring love to your work. You heal through your penetrating insights, no matter how secular your actual employment. To forget that it is all about soul-filled relating is to forget your destiny, to remain dense and unconscious…so not you.

Sagittarius: In our country, the maxim is "the bigger, the better." You have entirely too many irons in the fire to blaze those larger trails, at present. Why not orbit others who have a more flamboyant presence for now? Your birthright demands subtlety when the needs of your soul are involved. Every water sign time (now, Cancer, Scorpio) requires a surrender, a philosophical breakthrough. Until June 6, Jupiter, your protector acts like compost to your ancestral roots. You are entirely more, have more and produce more than you been expected to. Surprise the doubting Thomas folk. Show your work and the world will open in ways you’ve just begun to see.

Capricorn: You have some explaining to do. Not to anyone on the outside, not to any external authority, but to yourself when you look at that man or woman in the mirror. Through these ides of March, concentrate most deeply upon those moments before you drift off to sleep (if you are extremely aware, directly before you daydream), you can come to know why you react to those in so-called power the way you do. Concentrating on the scarcity of physical resources exclusively cause you to be become darkly manipulative and hard to which relate. Sometimes the other shoe simply does not drop — it has already been given as a dowry. Last week you came head to head with the unfairness of how you’ve been treated in the professional sphere. Any awareness of those who think they have power over you, consider how you’ve given them that power. Do not react out of bitterness, just clarity. After the spring equinox, you get a renewed sense of what is possible, and more importantly, how it is so.

Aquarius: It is next week. You could have chosen to be all less than noble and without class or home training. I hope you did not. Admit that you are an intellectual snob. But before doing so, realize where you fall short in not knowing all you want to know. Uranus moves at a healthy clip through Pisces, your second state of "the resources you think you need to survive." Know that faith chimes in on the short list. You expect the world to be glad you are here, and then the world provides. The last 9.5 weeks, wrestler, have tested your resolve. Your charisma has not been working up to snuff. That is OK. Cease selling your best insights for food, security and one-upsmanship. It is beneath you. Stay in the clouds, even dense ones that seem to promise rain. You get a free charismatic pass until March 16. Use it sparingly — the love you save, just might be your own.
