MARCH HOROSCOPES

BE THE LIGHT!

March is the month we “spring” forward and change our time to have more light at the end of the day. It’s our annual ritual here in the US and in many countries around the world. It has even been suggested that we always maintain Daylight Savings Time for what it’s worth.

Whatever the date or time of year, it’s all about light, how light affects our lives, how much light we’re exposed to at the time of day most convenient, and how light makes our life healthier and happier. The Sun is a blessing to life.

But, there is another light. It’s the light that shines from inside of all of us. Yes, YOU and ALL of us. Think about it. Let this inner light of YOU shine to bring healing and joy to the world. What if this light could bring uplifting words to those in need, kindness in sharing love and even a warm smile to someone we do not know.

None of this is difficult. What these small acts of kindness bring are big results. They are the ripples that expand out to all around us…. all around you. It’s giving and receiving which is the same energy as my dear friend, Burge Smith-Lyons says.

Think about it, feel it and breathe it in. We ALL have the opportunity to change the energy around us.

Isn’t that what we’ve been asking as we listen to the news or read articles online. What happened to kindness and respect? Where is humanity in these horrendous actions?

Haven’t we wished for a more loving world where we can go to work, shop or school in peace and security?

In reality, most of us do. Let’s reverse our thinking a bit by applying light. Millions of children go to school happy and have a joyful, safe experience. The majority of us go to work, stores or church thankful for the freedom of movement in security. It’s about taking a look at the other side of the coin.

MARCH HOROSCOPES


ARIES: Spring, your season, brings new beginnings. Start new projects; throw your intentions into the universe. Everything is moving forward. Your career is active midmonth, but you feel the spiritual and inner you. The month looks prosperous as well. It’s about image and that’s how people see you. Mars enters your house of career adding dynamite to your career drive. The month ahead may be hectic and fast-paced, but you have the energy to handle it.

TAURUS: A strong Piscean influence makes you soulful, altruistic and benevolent, and solo on a private quest with like-minded groups. One special friendship is important. The challenge is to merge your spiritual values with your material ones. Money is on your mind when Mercury Retrogrades on the 22nd. Mars entering Capricorn will give you energy, ambition and drive. This may lead to success and prosperity.

GEMINI: A strong idealistic Piscean influence brings your attention to business, especially on the 4th, with the Sun and Neptune then Mercury and Venus conjoined in the sign, enhancing Neptune’s long-term influence there. Your professional life becomes important. Your attention may shift to your social life. Mars in your seventh house until the 17th can create friction or power struggles, but Jupiter creates harmonious aspects even though it’s retrograde.

CANCER: You resonate well to the nurturing emotional energies of Pisces planets, bringing a happy, prosperous, and successful month. Your house of travel, optimism, beliefs brings a flow of knowledge from intuitive levels. You have good financial intuition, too. Your career zone is activated so combine business and travel. Social occasions or the right business gatherings can be beneficial. Maybe you can host the event.

LEO: With your Piscean house strong, it’s a good period for tax planning, a budget, credit or estate matters. You might want to go through your possessions and declutter. The material release clears the mind as well. You may have a strong urge to travel after the 6th expanding your horizons. Get it all done before Mercury Retrogrades on the 22nd. Take care of your health. With the North Node in Leo, all magical synchronicities may shine over all.

VIRGO: Relationships and the fruits of them are important with Mercury, Venus, the Sun, and Neptune in Pisces and a Virgo Full Moon. A dreamy love might be the main headline. Expect more romance and joyful social experiences. Your thinking will switch from slow and intuitive to active and impulsive. Your financial sector is activated. Avoid speculations. But, Saturn squares to Mercury, Venus, and the Sun suggest caution. Avoid misunderstandings.

LIBRA: Your ruler, Venus, and Mercury, start in Pisces but move quickly to Aries on the 6th. Don’t deplete your energies. Focus on essentials. This could be work-oriented or about health or beauty. The Aries energy will light relationships on fire, make partners assertive, quick, impulsive, but not deep-thinking or patient. Don’t miss the pleasures of the present, however, while resolving old issues. Time to scale back at the end of the month. Avoid confrontations.

SCORPIO: Jupiter in your sign retrograding on the 8th makes this a time of personal and fiscal review rather than expansion in goals and material matters. Gain clarity on what you want and how to manage your resources. Mars in Sagittarius in your finance zone maximizes Jupiter’s message. Embrace the warm emotional flow from love, creativity, children and recreation. Your confidence, self-esteem and prosperity help others to gain theirs.

SAGGITARIUS: Mars stays in your sign until the 17th, keeping up the extra boost and motivation it’s been providing. Use the energy in sports, athletics and competitions: be a winner and release pent-up feelings. You’ll be encouraged to act on fiscal affairs and resource management. You’re willing to put in the work toward prosperity. Home issues are important, too. This points to your security and emotional life. Let go of the past. Recharge with fun.

CAPRICORN: Early in the month Pisces influences your thinking and local connections. With Mercury, the Sun, Venus and the New Moon there, plus Neptune, your focus is on your immediate environment and an artistic Jupiter trine Venus. Home also has a main headline. There’s always something to be done: repairing, constructing, playing, entertaining. Your career and home are intertwined.  Later in the month, exciting and lucky events at home.

AQUARIUS: While you’ve still got an eye on your career, you’re gathering energy, building up force, for the next ambitious push, likely in the summer. You’ll also enjoy the social vibe of Mars still in Sag till the 17th. Once it moves into Capricorn to join Saturn and Pluto, you’ll feel the urge to examine and express your inner pent-up feelings. You may be more emotional about money, possibly in a grateful and appreciative way. Love and friendship is around you now.

PISCES: This could be a happy and prosperous month with so many planets in your rosy sign: Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Neptune, Chiron, the lunation. You’re used to being the giver, but you may want life on your terms. You understand this cosmic law: if you’re happy, the world becomes happier. Look for celestial abundance when Jupiter trines Venus at the beginning of the month. Mars rules your money zone and shows it’s favor as well.

February Blog and Horoscopes

It’s February! I know I say that almost every month. It’s so hard to believe that we can zip through time so quickly. My favorite thing is to enjoy every moment…although I do have to remind myself of that on occasion.

From this thought grew the reason that I began reading Eat That Frog First 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating.  It wasn’t so much that I was procrastinating, it was that I didn’t feel organized. I felt that I was continually putting out fires which means dealing with the things that came up in that moment or I was working on things that took time and someone else could do easily such as my website or other tech issues. I wanted to have the time to do the things in my business that I really love.

I love doing readings with clients. I love the coaching part of my business when I get to see how people answer the Now what? question and expand with confidence. I love developing new products and services that help others

This quote from the book really made sense and brought home why I’m reading this book:

“The ability to concentrate single-mindedly on your most important task, to do it well and to finish it completely is the key to great success, respect, status and happiness in life.”

Frog Eating Rule #1:

“If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first.”  A good one, right? Even if you have two big jobs in front of you, pick the one that’s weighing on you the heaviest and take it one step at a time to finish it…. or eat it one bite at a time until it’s gone.

Frog Eating Rule #2:

“If you have to eat a frog at all, it doesn’t pay to sit and look at it for long.” Have you ever kept putting off a project and it got heavier and heavier in your thoughts? It even felt like it was bigger than it actually was when you completed it. This is exactly what this means. The longer you look at the project the bigger and heavier it gets. So, get it done and relieve the anxiety and stress.

This week I’ll talk more about this book and how we “set the table.” For now, just take stock of what’s in front of you that you need to get done.

Let’s face it. It’s February, we’re in the month of Love and we’re ALL looking at tax season!

So, get it done!

December Remembering…

Remembering…

It’s December! It’s an amazing time! I’ve completed all the decorations for now. I have a small tree up and have brought out all my favorite things. It’s as if I’m seeing old friends again as I unwrap each precious piece of Christmas. I love this time of the year.

It’s also a time of remembering…remembering those that are important in my life and now gone; transitioned to another dimension yet still with me.

Ten years ago, my husband passed away. He was like a child at Christmas. His eyes would light up as he planned each moment of the season. His exuberance and excitement were infectious. We would decorate our house from top to bottom. It was almost a full week of preparing and putting out all the decorations inside and outside of our home. I see and feel his excitement and energy as I bring out some of our favorite things. It’s a celebration of his enthusiasm and love.

Our holiday celebration was in the Italian tradition. Christmas Eve was the big event. Our food consisted of 25 items representing December 25. Fish was served, no red meat, and the presentation of abundance ranged from shrimp cocktail, shrimp scampi, mussels in white sauce made especially for my father-in-law, fried eels, fried smelts, cocktail crab and stone crabs (a later addition).  Pasta with marinara sauce overflowed. The aromas from the kitchen made my mouth water. My mother-in-law would bring the bread from her favorite bakery in New Jersey! It was truly a feast!

Fourteen years ago, my mother passed away. I was an only child, so I was always her favorite! My mother worked hard all her life and when retirement came, I was blessed to have her in my life even more. My mother liked decorating, but not with the enthusiasm that I did. When I was a child, we didn’t get our tree and decorate until Dec. 23. The anticipation of Christmas as a child was almost painful as I waited to get ready for December 25. As I opened the boxes containing some of her items, her love and presence embraced me.

It’s a bittersweet memory from past Christmas celebrations, yet I choose to embrace this new life here in Tallahassee fully. My son is 500 miles away in Miami and I look forward to seeing him this month. My family are now the friends that I have made here. I am one lucky lady.

I choose not to grieve, but celebrate the memories of those long gone. They are still here in my heart never to be erased or removed.  They are FOREVER here.

How will YOU choose to remember those who have passed on whether from death, divorce, or choice? Will the story in your memory be the painful one or the one that is poignant and happy? Will the feeling you have be one of angst and stress or one of joy and celebration? You get to choose.

The holiday season gives us the opportunity to remember with love, forgive with love, embrace with love and share with love.

May your holiday be filled with LOVE, PROSPERITY, GOOD HEALTH AND JOY!

And one last photo just because!!

CANCER: Saturn’s move into Capricorn on the 19th is going to make relationships an important priority for the next 2+ years. Venus and the Sun are still in your health zone through part of the month making your health a priority with the holiday food and activities. While you may feel like making big changes if circumstances or situations bother you, this isn’t the time to go big in change-making. March and April are better. Love and commitment headline now.

LEO: You are the fun-lover of the zodiac! With Saturn in your fun zone for 2+ years, you may have toned down the activities. Saturn leaves on the 19th, fun is ahead. Money-wise you have a fiscal planet here (Saturn in 5th) and Mercury Retrograde, not a time to speculate financially. Be realistic with money. Saturn also requires a no-nonsense attitude about physical health after moving into Capricorn. Mars and Jupiter in Scorpio bring activity to home and family.

VIRGO: Your home sector is percolating, unlike your professional zone. You’ll be looking to nest in with family or yourself. Even analytical you find feeling good is more relevant than taking action. You want to be there for family. With Mercury Retrograde from Dec. 3-22, be mindful of holiday shopping, domestic misunderstandings or travel problems. Discipline becomes a big issue. There may be differences about it and the lessons to work on for the next 2 years.

Family stability is important. Your own emotional foundations are highlighted. Mars and Jupiter are in Scorpio. Your fiscal world gets passionate. Look for partnerships and joint ventures to increase prosperity.

SCORPIO: Financial affairs get some relief as Saturn moves out of your fiscal zone on the 19th and enters your communication zone.

Look for joint fiscal ventures and increasing your wealth. Mercury Retrograde can put delays on the whole plan so be aware.

SAGITTARIUS: There’s a happy and prosperous month ahead…but don’t you look at all months that way? You’re living the good life now: recreational pleasures, hobbies, children, partying. All this is good for you, but avoid excess. Mercury Retrograde from Dec. 3-22 could be a spoiler in fun and love. Saturn is leaving your sign after 2 years and you’ll return to your sunny Sag self. It’ll help your love life, too. Conservative Saturn moves into your money house!

CAPRICORN: The month ahead could be a spiritual one, the culmination of a two-plus year period of self-examination or soulful questing. That is Saturn. Saturn leaves first and Mercury and Venus remain. Mercury Retrograde keeps an inner focus going. Saturn moves into your sign and it’s about putting what you’ve learned and become into practice, into your personal world, and into the world at large. It might have physical effects as well!

AQUARIUS: One eventful month after another! First Jupiter in October, now Saturn, moving into the sign it rules, Capricorn. Saturn moves into your 12th house of solitude, spirituality, karma and psychological awareness. Enlightenment and spiritual evolution is possible over the next 2 years. You’ll need to balance your soulful idealism with a successful outer life. Mars opposes Uranus on the 1st, edging you forward restlessly toward change.

PISCES: Your career might be the main headline. As restrictive Saturn moves out, he leaves behind Venus and the Sun. Mercury is there as well and retrograde from the Dec. 3-22. That’s a host of peaking planets in your career and public zone that could lead to fiscal and professional success or satisfying business relationships.  Mars, rules your house of money, moves into Scorpio to join Jupiter. It could bring fiscal gains. Expect good fortune in finances.

 

See you in the New Year!! 2018 will be a year of feeling fulfilled!!

 

 

November Musings

Thanksgiving

It’s November! It’s the eleventh month of the year and we’re headed into the holiday season. It’s now Halloween as I’m writing this.  The orange and black decorations and the scary costumes are everywhere. The beginning of fun times!

But, it is November. It’s the month to celebrate Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and the beginning of shopping for holiday gifts. After all, Christmas decorations have been in stores for a while along with Halloween decorations.  I’m beginning to feel the crunch of time and my To Do list seems to be growing. What will I do and how will I get it all done.  Are you feeling this way, too?

I’ve met so many wonderful new people this past October; this year, in fact. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone to do new things, I’ve grown, expanded, forgiven, blessed, stressed, feared, appreciated and enjoyed.

Wait!! This sounds like a Thanksgiving list, a list of what I appreciate. Appreciation changes the whole feeling and energy of the moment and expands upon gratitude. I can go from stressed to relaxed as I feel each breath go in and out while appreciating every molecule of oxygen.

Then this is just the right time to begin and I will follow up this month with other emails creating this list. What will you appreciate this month? I hope that you will contribute to the list and I or you can post it to my Facebook page, Donna Tornillo, Take Charge! Coach and Mentor. Be sure to LIKE the page while you’re there and request to join my Facebook group page, Take Charge! Coaching.

I’ll begin here with just five:

 

1.       I appreciate my son and the joy he brings into my life.

2.       I appreciate my porch, the plants that surround me and the peaceful moments sitting there.

3.       I appreciate my meditation space that allows me the place of quiet to connect to my higher self and Spirit.

4.       I appreciate my body moving as I dance or teach Zumba.

5.       I appreciate my family and my friends who love and support me in more ways than I can list.

 

Join me in appreciation. Reply to this here on my website or respond to my newsletter. Start a wave of appreciation for all the little, big and in between things in your life.

And don’t forget to appreciate YOU!!

 

 

NOVEMBER HOROSCOPES:  Something for everyone!

ARIES: At the end of October, the Sun entered your Eighth House of shared resources and transformation where it will stay until Nov. 21. With Jupiter there for a year, you will be about getting rid of what’s no longer necessary. This can be physical, mental and emotional.  You are ready to allow new things in. Ask the question: Does this make me happy? Do I use this a lot? You’ll know what to do. It’s a good time to take a look at your budget and credit affairs, also.

TAURUS: The month starts with Mars and Venus for a few days, in Libra, your health/work zone making these affairs more important, more delicate. You may have to deal with less rest or energy than usual. When Venus joins the Sun and Jupiter in Scorpio, you’ll wonderfully feel an added influence from others. With the Full and New Moons, you will be popular and socially active. Network in person, not email or phone. Time to eliminate financial excess.

GEMINI:  Venus and Mars start the month in Libra, your house of pleasure, romance and creativity. Jupiter shifts into Scorpio, your 6th House, along with Venus and the Sun. With the lunations in Taurus and Scorpio, Jupiter may turn out to be a mover and shaker not only on the job, but also in your love life, too. Life is wonderful when shared. And prosperity opportune.

CANCER: You should be feeling like a lot more fun and creative this month compared to October. Focus is still on home and family. Spending too much time at home leaves your professional life needing attention and balance. The lunations prompt a time of love, gifts and meaningful gatherings. When the Sun enters Sagittarius along with other planets, brings your attention to health and work matters. You may earn through work.

LEO: You’ll be paying lots of attention to what’s going on at home and with the family, with bountiful Jupiter in Scorpio and your 4th House. The domestic scene is where the action is. Your family has become your career or your career is happening at home. If things, the past or secrets arise, there’s a need to address them now with mysterious Scorpio. Once you come to terms with the past, you can focus on the fun in the present. Self-expression is urged.

VIRGO:  Jupiter entered Scorpio and shifted your love life towards improvement. If single, you may meet a love interest. Neptune goes direct in Pisces allows a smoother flow of happiness. You have plenty of vital healthy energy for the first 3 weeks. During the last week, start paying closer attention the little things needed to keep your mind-body-spirit balance. With so many planets in Scorpio, communication at all levels is at the forefront.

LIBRA: You’ve got more to enjoy this month: happiness and money, prosperity on inner and outer levels. With Mars in your sign, you’ll be the one with assertive energy, drive, and physical dynamics.

Recovery….again!

This weekend was special. I was in Miami with my son, Tim. This was a weekend that we had planned for a couple of months to celebrate his birthday. It’s a long drive from Tallahassee to Miami and I now have the pleasure of dropping off my sweet neighbor, Dorothy, at her daughter’s home in Melbourne and continue down to Miami. Another bonus is using Dorothy’s hybrid car that gets twice the gas mileage as Bernie, my 1998 Lincoln Town Car.

I had no idea that I would get to experience the aftermath of Hurricane Irma in Miami. As I drove down Bayshore Drive to Coconut Grove, I glanced down each side street to see debris piled as high as 4 feet to clear the road for residents to return to their homes. I had not seen it this way since Hurricane Andrew 25 years ago. The huge banyon tree outside my hotel room window was bruised, battered and broken, yet I knew it would grow back even stronger than before just as it had recovered after Andrew.

I also had no idea that I would be writing about recovery again this week. The banyons in Miami are not the only living things recovering from a hurricane or major human-caused event leaving people feeling beleaguered, lost, alone and in shock.

Because this horrendous event occurred in the sign of Libra, my focus will be on the Libra energy shown by those present in Las Vegas and around the world after the shootings.

Libra is about the need to cooperate with others and to create beauty, balance, companionship and harmony. It’s about living with a sense of justice and fair play. That’s exactly what survivors at the concert showed the injured and many didn’t know each other; they just stepped up to help. If anything, good at all comes from an event of this magnitude, it’s the caring, support, and love of others in time of need.

Let’s not wait for an emergency, a hurricane, or a traumatic happening by a lone shooter from a hotel room window to show our compassion for others. Each of us can be that person, The One, for those we know or don’t know. And it begins with us.

  • No criticism.
  • No hate.
  • No comparing.
  • No discrimination

Just care and compassion. What a wonderful world to live in.

May each one of you be blessed with having The One in your life and the privilege of being The One for another.
