Accuracy - 3, Vagueness - 8

Start a creative project as the Moon dances through Leo today and tomorrow. You can use the power of your tarot card, the Magician, to bring your talents to light now.

Started an essay. The looked up the Magician Tarot card. The reader might well interpet this card as telling the querent that they will be given a vision, an idea, a magical, mental image of whatever it is they most want: the solution to a problem, an ambitious career, a love life, a job.

Hmmmm, a job. Nice. Actually, all of the things look nice. But what the heck is a querent?

You are standing at the very edge of an opening and you will get to walk through this window of opportunity over the next few days. In the meantime, make the most of where you are by paying close attention to what's happening. Watching how others respond to you is one way, but don't forget to also tune into your own inner process. If it happens in your imagination, it can also happen in your real life.

I don't really feel like anything is going to happen soon, but am trying to picture what I want in my imagination in case it's right around the corner. Why take chances, right?

Taking care

Take care when driving or operating electrical appliances, as the Pisces Sun tends to blur or shorten your attention span. You'll be in the mood to connect with your spirit guides tonight, and will gain great wisdom when you do.

I just walked downstairs carrying my laptop, then realized that probably wasn't the smartest thing to do on a day when I've been warned to be to take care when operating electrical appliances. Made it to the couch safely; whew. It's 10:16 pm, and the only "spirit" guide I've contacted is a glass of wine. Not sure I feel wiser, but definitely feel more mellow.

Happy Valentine's Day

While others may want to go out for a romantic evening, you are more likely to share a dinner at home, away from external noise. You are quite sensitive now and would probably prefer seclusion with your Valentine instead of the buzz of a restaurant. Don't be shy; communicate your needs clearly so a mutual decision can take both of your feelings into consideration.

Valentine's Day was no different than any other day, though I did get flowers - beautiful roses - delivered yesterday and got to look at them all day today. Elliot took Beau to karate then picked up Alicia from skating and I got to stay home and write. When he got home he told me he had Monday off so we booked Sunday night at a waterpark in Sandusky. I don't really need romantic evenings when I have a Valentine nearly every day of the year (though I'll have to come back and read this on a day when he says or does something stupid, won't I?)

I do love that my horoscope acknowledges Valentine's Day. According to Astrological history horoscopes have been around for ever; but how long has Valentine's Day been around? Should I be suspicious, or should I be impressed that this practice is flexible enough to change with the times?

Steps

Trust your instincts today by acting on a hunch. Instead of analyzing all the facts again and again, just jump in and do it. If it doesn't work out perfectly, retreat and try again later. This isn't about reaching your destination right away. It's about demonstrating your resolve to make a decision and then taking steps toward your goal.

Interesting. My resolve has been to find a less-frustrating job and there already is one I'm in line for, then a friend called today with another opportunity. I'm not sure I'm qualified, but I'm going to talk to them anyway...because it's taking steps towards my goal.

I've been working on an essay about escapes - and my escapes have always been through books. It's been a while, though, since I found a book that sucked me in and made me forget who I am and made me live in it ... but I started one yesterday and finished it today (that's what they do to me). It's The Learners by Chip Kidd. For two days I lived in an a small advertising agency in New Haven, CT. It was a wonderful vacation.
