THE DREAM ZONE |
with Lauri Quinn Loewenberg I had a dream that my ex-boyfriend was living in the back of a sushi restaurant in Manhattan. I went there to talk to him and we started fighting and he told me he had been seeing his previous ex the entire time we were together. And he showed me pictures of them skinny dipping at the lake house he took me to last year. And he was really tall in the dream and I made him kneel down so that I didn't have to strain my neck to talk to him. PJ, 22, Boston, MA Lauri: Your ex is living in the back because he is always in the back of your mind. Did he cheat on you in real life? Are you still constantly thinking about him being with other women (him showing you pictures)? That is why he is so tall in your dream: You have allowed him to be a bigger issue in your life than he ought to be. Just remember, sushi restaurants serve fish and this is why your dream took place in one: because your dream is telling you that there are plenty of other fish in the sea! Jennifer replies: Thank you so much. This makes perfect sense. I guess I have some moving on to do. Fascinating Dream Fact: Back in the Victorian era, it was believed that if you dreamt of a loved one that had passed on, you would die if they touched you in your dream.

ARIES (March 20-April 19)
New moon occurs Sunday in Libra, then the moon slides into Scorpio on Sunday morning. Yes indeed, little ram, then you can make your wish and set a goal or two. On Monday, the sun moves into Scorpio and your Libra pals end their birthday month. Mars, your ruling planet, also moves into Scorpio on Monday. Venus hooks up with Mars on Wednesday, and your banker, insurance agent and even the tax man will be friendly. Also on Wednesday, the moon moves into your fellow fire sign, Sag. Go ahead and pass on your knowledge and tell other people about your journeys. Don't start any more projects after this week. Mercury goes retrograde next week, and it's already slowing down.
TAURUS (April 19-May 20)
This is not the week to hang around the bullpen. Yes indeed, your daily work schedule is packed with four planets early in the week. On Sunday, a new moon arrives in the wee hours of the morning. Jupiter and Mercury have a conversation on Sunday, and this is one nice transit that may help you in many ways. The discussion takes place in your house of partnerships and relationships. Next week, Mercury goes retrograde. Whatever you need to start, get it going this week. Pay attention to detail. Cross the t's and dot the i's. The new moon on Sunday says go ahead. On Monday, the sun and Mars move into Scorpio. Remember, Scorpio, a water sign, is very compatible with your earth sign, little bull.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
This weekend is your last chance to help Libra, your sister air sign, celebrate her birthday. Yes indeed, little twin, the sun moves into Scorpio on Monday and Mars follows. I usually try to begin anything new between the new moon and the full moon, but now it's best to do it this week, because Mercury goes into his retrograde mode next week. That means three weeks of miscommunication and confusion and it is not a good time to initiate projects. With several planets gathering in Scorpio, a secret could be revealed. This is in your house of daily work. Chat with co-workers. Everyone should be friendly. Go ahead, cast a line in your fishing hole this week.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Oh my, little crab, on Monday, your space of creativity, love, fun, luck and children takes center stage. Four planets visit and on Tuesday, Venus joins them. Yes indeed, all in Scorpio, a water sign like you, who begins a month of birthday celebrations on Monday. On Sunday, a new moon occurs. Make your wish and set a goal or two for the month. Do not share your values or earned income or real estate this week. Don't let anyone restrict your sandcastles. Spend time on the home front this weekend. Take care of your finances. Mercury becomes retrograde next week, so watch out for miscommunication. This would be an excellent week to turn your attention and energy to creative projects. You have energy from half the planets.
LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)
New moon on Sunday, little kitty. Your Libra friends wind up their birthday month and pass the cake to Scorpio on Monday. The home front takes center stage, packed with half the planets this week. If you are planning a new project, start it this week, little lion. Next week Mercury goes retrograde. Mercury and Jupiter get together this week. While so many planets visit the home space, many of you may decide it is a nice time to spend in your own little jungle, wrapping things up before the Mercury retrograde steps in. Work on your hopes, dreams and wishes. You can make things happen. Save the golden slippers until the new moon next month, after Mercury and Uranus move forward.
VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)
You love to detail and analyze, and you probably feel a little drained. Many planets are encouraging you to communicate and, since you are ruled by Mercury, the messenger of the gods, you may feel a need to help solve the problems of siblings or neighbors. Go ahead and do it this week. Mercury goes retrograde next week, and while Mercury is in its backward motion, you will have the opportunity to bring in new friendships. Mercury and Jupiter meet over the weekend. This should bring balance to what you need to map out while Mercury is retrograde. Communications with other people are nice this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)
Happy birthday to you later-born Libras who are celebrating your birthdays this weekend. If you have not made your birthday wish for the year and set your yearly goal, do it this weekend. The sun moves into Scorpio on Monday. The new moon arrives on Sunday, so you may also make your monthly wish and set a monthly goal. Mercury goes retrograde next week and that will be a nice time to work on projects already begun. Yes indeed, little peacemaker, you can balance the scales before the new moon arrives next month. When the sun, moon and Mars travel into the sign of Scorpio on Monday, joined by Venus on Tuesday, indeed you will have the energy. Talk about your values with other people.
SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 22)
Happy birthday to all you early-born little detectives. Yes indeed, the sun flows into your sign on Monday. Mars joins the sun a few hours later and on Tuesday Venus will be there. The moon, the sun, Mars and Venus are entering your sign and Mercury and Jupiter have already paid the rent there. Now this, dear little detective, brings six of the 10 planets into your sign for several hours on Tuesday before the moon travels into the sign of Sagittarius. You take the center stage with the energy from the planets. The new moon occurs on Sunday and the moon then slides into your sign a couple of hours later. Next week, Mercury moves retrograde in your sign. Cross the t's, dot the i's and finish all business. Clear up any misunderstandings. Speak your desires before retrograde Mercury appears next week.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Yes indeed, little traveler of the zodiac, this is the weekend to share with your Libra pals as they wind up their birthday celebrations. Scorpios start celebrating birthdays on Monday. Now this is the time to travel and dig up any projects you delayed. The new moon arrives on Sunday. Make your monthly wish and set a goal or two. Mercury goes retrograde next week and that is not the time to begin any new projects. Okay, you have an excellent opportunity to work behind the scenes with six planet in this section of your chart. Next month, the new moon will reveal your progress. Lucky you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 21)
The career takes center stage this week. Mercury goes retrograde next week. New moon arrives on Sunday. Make your wish and set a goal or two. The planets are moving into the social section of your chart. On Tuesday, 60 percent of the planets will be in the sign of Scorpio. Yes indeed, you need the water from Scorpio to keep your earth sign green. You are the worker of the zodiac. Go ahead and bring out any new business before next week. Now this, little mountain goat, should give you plenty of work to do until Mercury goes direct next month. With so many planets in Scorpio, this is not the time to talk to the banker or make loans to others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 20)
We know you are the genius of the zodiac. Well, guess what, dear little water bearer—the sun, Venus and Mars send a wink to you later-born Aquarians. On Sunday, a new moon occurs. On Monday and Tuesday, six of the 10 planets land in your career space. Yes indeed, support from the boss, family and friends. Go ahead and say "I know." Now make your wish for the month and set a goal or two. Next week, Mercury goes retrograde. Dot all the i's and cross all the t's this week. Now keep things in context. Your social life blossoms. Scorpio, the detective of the zodiac, encourages you to dig up what you need in the career department.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 22)
A new moon occurs this week, so make your wish and set a goal or two. Your Libra pals wind up their birthday month this weekend. Scorpio—yes indeed, your sister water sign—begins a month of birthday celebration on Monday. Several planets—in fact, 60 percent of them—send you on a higher knowledge journey. You little fish who returned to school will enjoy your lesson. For you who choose to learn through travel, you have a month to do so beginning this week. Mercury retrograde is not the time to begin anything new.
