Dear Lee,

    It's time to focus on new beginnings and the power you have to change your life forever.

    As Henry Thoreau wrote: "I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor."

    In order to change, the first thing you must do is get yourself unstuck.  Lee, to do this, it is important that you look closely at how you perceive yourself.  Most limitations to success you perceive come from internalizing negative messages from people and past events.  These can easily be overcome.

    This is very important for you to remember -- you do have the power to succeed.  And together, Lee, we are going to grow your awareness and choice-making ability so you can experience abundance in every area of your life.

    Know that the thoughts that empower you to succeed come from your true Self and a Higher Power.  This is why you must first love yourself and embrace the incredible blessings you have been given.  Now more than ever, know that it is not only possible to change your thinking but also your actions.  This steady change will allow your dreams to blossom and be realized.  As Marcus Aurelius said "The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it."

    So that is why this week I want you to remember to concentrate on:

    1.  Focusing your mind on your best achievements, both big and small, and your ability to succeed.

    2.  Quieting your mind for 15 minutes each day in order to feel the energy flow within you.  This will help get your thoughts moving in the right direction so that you can begin realizing your dreams.

    3.  Choosing one goal and taking your first step towards achieving it.

    Lee, you can't expect to achieve success or move beyond your present situation unless you truly believe in yourself.  Now is the time to use this inner power to change your life.

    I know you can do this and I will be there with you, every step of the way.

                       Until next week,
                         
 

    It looks like an easygoing week for the most part, Lee.  The only fly in the ointment could arrive on Wednesday, when the grandiose Leo Sun will be fighting it out with the usually expansive Jupiter.  Trouble is, this time Jupiter is in secretive, cautious Scorpio.  And rather than helping you expand, this Jupiter could provide some restrictions, from hitherto-unknown information.  Maybe you neglected to do your "homework" on an issue?

    But other than that, with the Moon's entry into happy-go-lucky Sagittarius from late Thursday through Saturday, all systems will be "go."  You could be in the mood to party on Friday, and if you take up the stars' hint, you should have a great time.  Just watch how you go, as you could be a little clumsy, what with your head in the clouds.

    Misunderstandings in your closest personal relationships is possible today. When trying to make an important point, dear one, endeavor to be a good listener also. Keep an open mind regarding needed changes.

    You may be overcome by a dreamy and romantic mood. Your hopes and dreams about love, friends, and relationships dominate over reality. Within this self-created world, there are elements of joyous truth.

    Before deciding to interfere in another's affairs, make sure you have a clear perspective and all the facts, my dear. Emotional reactions will probably miss the point completely. Gain more knowledge.

    You may find yourself drawn to someone who seems intense and serious. There can be a definite chemistry between the two of you -- a pull you just can't seem to explain in words. Just relax and go with it.

    Your physical attractiveness and outgoing personality draw others into your circle today. Don't become so involved in the day's activities that you are too tired to spend meaningful time with loved ones.

    Others may accuse you of being unsympathetic when the most you'd actually be today is preoccupied. Try to establish reasonable communications with your partners and loved ones early in the day.

    Interactions with friends or partners can be highly entertaining now. Getting along is bound to be easy and their support can be guaranteed on any project that requires help.

    You need to take time for romance, music, art and some of the finer things of life. Relationships tend to be harmonious now, but it will take effort and drive if anything is to be accomplished today. 

    You may feel like just being close to the person you know who treats you best today. Whoever nurtures you well, seek them out. You can be thrilled to just relax at home with your dear one. Be comforted.

    Telephone conversations with family, friends or partners could be revealing but encouraging at the same time. Keep in touch with those who would be supportive of a special project. Agreements can be made.

    Your power can be unconstrained today, my dear. Whatever you touch may be set afire by your passionate approach. Everything can seem to happen easier, faster, and better for you right now. You deserve it.

    Intimate incompatibility is temporary and probably due to emotional concerns, stress or undue pressure. Hasty decisions regarding wills, taxes, joint finances or real estate may need revision.

    You're apt to be curious today, and you might be willing to follow any clues that you find to their source. You can be quite a detective today, and there's much you can discover. 

    You may become more interested in psychics, astrology, or the tarot cards now. This could be a good day to try out your own psychic powers. The key is to trust yourself.

    Current expenses involving a personal obligation will not create new financial troubles. Rewards for past efforts are now due, possibly from an important person.

    You could serve as an excellent teacher today. Because you can display talents of a natural leader, you should find it easy to deal with the public. Someone may ask you now.

    The urge to travel may be too strong to resist. Fortunately, you've got good instincts about where to go and how to save money. Ask a friend along for the ride -- you two are bound to have fun.

    Channeling your energy into a course of study could open up new worlds for you. Pick a subject that has always interested you. Think back to your childhood for inspiration. 

    You should be in control of your destiny today. It could feel as if the world were created to serve you. There should be time to finish all of your tasks, and your ideas can be well received. Go for it.

    You are less timid around your place of work today and others may be surprised by your assertive attitude. Much can be accomplished now if you organize and put yourself on a reasonable schedule.

    A knowledgeable friend may offer an expert assessment on one of your family heirlooms. I can tell that what's most important to you about this object is the personal history behind it.

    Cozy, warm feelings will highlight next week, Lee.  It looks like some cuddling is in store…
