THE DREAM ZONE |
with Lauri Quinn Loewenberg I dream I’m paralyzed, I’m in a sort of vegetable state and can’t move, but my mind is still functioning. My family and friends are all around me. I can hear and see everything but can’t communicate with them. Gary, 47, Canal Winchester, OH Gary: This dream is a reflection of how you are feeling about something in your life. Being paralyzed means you or some area of your life is at a standstill. Look at your finances, your relationships, any projects, and also look at your health. Just as you can see and hear just fine in the dream, so can you clearly see and understand what the real-life issue is—you just aren’t feeling confident about it. You’re also unable to communicate in waking life. Your family was around you in the dream. Are there communication issues there? Ask yourself who is not “hearing you” in waking life? Your dream is showing you your current situation from a different point of view: A lack of communication in some area of your life is paralyzing you; it is keeping things from “moving” forward. Sandra replies: You are probably right on when you say that a lack of communication is keeping things from moving forward. Fascinating Sleepm Fact: Never wake a sleepwalker. The sleepwalker may become confused and feel threatened by you and may lash out physically at you. Lauri Quinn Loewenberg's website is thedreamzone.com |
ARIES

Rush off and put the final touches on all your business deals, dear little ram. Do it early this week. You may also expect to find a few delays with your Valentines.

Work on creative ventures behind the scenes. You may be surprised as you watch others setting their limits. Remember, friends from your past often reappear when Mercury is retrograde.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 21)
Dear little bull, this could be the week you find yourself spending time in the bullpen. It is not a good time to look for greener pastures. Take time out to enjoy Valentine’s Day, but you may encounter a few delays. Yes indeed, Mr. Bull, Mercury, the planet of short journeys and communication, goes retrograde this week. Saturn sends structure to your barnyard. The moon will be in Scorpio for the next few days, so cast a line and see what develops in your relationship department.

CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
The moon is your ruling planet, little crab. The next day or two are great days to finish projects. While the moon is in Scorpio, like you a water sign, you have an opportunity to dig up what you need from the creative department. You may suddenly get an opportunity to share your higher knowledge. Make reservations for a long trip later this spring, or share your love with others. Okay, Mercury will be retrograde. Expect a few delays. Hurry and finish all unfinished business.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 23)
The moon lights up the home front today. Go ahead, meet with your banker or talk with Mr. Tax Man. Do it before Mercury goes retrograde as the week winds down. Don’t begin new business for about three weeks once Mercury goes retrograde. Spend this week clearing the decks. Indeed, take time off to share with Aquarius pals celebrating their birthdays. You are the party sign. Pull out your little gold shoes. You are ruled by the sun. Expect a few delays. Traffic may move a little slower. Old pals sometimes appear on the scene.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 23)
The moon winks at Mercury today. Go ahead, little Virgo, you are the Mercury child. Yes indeed, he is your ruling planet, and it is time to chat. Do that early in the week before Mercury goes retrograde. Make your phone calls, write your letters, finish all projects. Now I know you love to detail and analyze. This is not the time to begin any new projects. Clear the decks. Get grounded. Cross the t’s and dot the i’s. The moon visits Sagittarius on Valentine’s Day, and opportunity flows. Jupiter, the Santa of the planets, brings gifts. Enjoy your day with your special Valentine. The sun holds hands with Neptune. Your daily work flows smoothly.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Happy Valentine’s Day. Yes indeed, Libra, your ruling planet is Venus. Venus smiles at Mars. Get busy, and remember you do not need to weigh everything, dear little peacemaker. Finish all projects as quickly as possible. Mercury goes retrograde on Tuesday. This is not the time for new projects. While you trot off to meet with your special Valentine on Wednesday, expect a few delays. Transportation is a little slower. Mercury rules all forms of communication. Notice what is revealed to you over the next few days while the moon is in Scorpio. Could be something you value.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
The moon is in your sign, dear Scorpio. Now put on your trench coat and observe what needs to get finished. Yes indeed, this is the week to finish all unfinished business. Mercury is going retrograde, so this is not a good time to begin anything new. If you must, expect delays. I also call this re-do time. Mars sends a wink to Venus. Oh my, just in time for Valentine’s week. Now go out and search for the special card for your Valentine. Some messages may go unnoticed and other messages may get lost. Old friends may surface. On Sunday, keep your words soft and tender.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Dear little traveler of the zodiac, if you travel, do it early this week. Mercury retrograde brings delays. Go ahead and finish all unfinished business. The next three weeks are not favored for new ventures. If you must sign a contract, add a clause that allows for changes later. Clear the desk. We are now on the upswing of Mercury retrograde. Old friends reappear; lost objects are sometimes found. Bargains are sometimes discovered. Now, being an archer, save an arrow for your special Valentine. The moon meets with Jupiter, the Santa of the planets. Jupiter is your ruling planet. Mars winks at Venus as special Valentine opportunities flow your way, dear Sag.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 20)
I know you are the worker of the zodiac. If you must chat with the banker, do so before next Tuesday. Mercury, the planet of communication, goes retrograde. This is not a good time for new projects. Any new project begun while Mercury is retrograde likely will have to be redone. Finish all business. Dot the i’s, cross the t’s, and if you must sign a contract, add a clause allowing for changes later. Notice what you have accomplished over the past three months. Expect a few delays. Traffic problems may occur, and your special Valentine may be delayed. Okay, just smile. Remember, Mercury retrograde. A Scorpio pal may dig up a special gift.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Much celebration this week, my dear Aquarius friends. Happy birthday. I know this is a busy week. Also, Mercury, the messenger, moves retrograde. Expect delays. Now, dear little genius, put the final touch on all your projects. This is not the time to begin anything new. Look back at what you have accomplished over the past three months. Mars sends a wink to Venus. Tell your special Valentine about your dreams and values. Old friends call. Lost objects are often found. This is also not a good time to buy computers, phones or any other form of communication equipment. Work behind the scenes.
PISCES
