FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 When you look into the night sky at an object that is 100 light years away, you are essentially looking back in time because what you are seeing is how the object appeared 100 years ago. This same weird sense of time affects your life story. Mercury'…Read more. FOR RELEASE: SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012 Generosity of spirit can be an intangible quality that people recognize on deeper levels, even if they would be hard-pressed to describe it in concrete terms. The Leo moon changes that, making something as invisible as love seem clear and obvious. …Read more. FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2012 Mercury got a boost of zesty Gemini energy yesterday, which King Neptune, frankly, finds irritating. It could be that Neptune is just jealous of all that youthful vigor, or that Mercury has a tendency to talk "out of school." Either way, …Read more. FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012 Did things just get more interesting, or have they been interesting all along and we're only just now noticing it? These questions and more will seem relevant as Mercury slips into the quick, bright energy of Gemini, a brilliant placement for the …Read more.

FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2010

The practical Capricorn moon and the hardworking Virgo sun do not encourage us to laze around with our heads in the clouds. That is, unless there is a useful purpose for this dreaming, which there definitely is. In preparing for tomorrow's peak conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus, hopes and wishes may indeed be the most useful entities of all.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Forgiveness and compassion are becoming a regular part of your emotional repertoire. Keep this up, and healthy relationships will be the only kind you will be capable of having.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You just want what's best for your loved one, and your loved one feels the same. That's why you don't feel the need to be in control or right. There is no power struggle. Love rules in this relationship.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is spectacular beauty in the bits of nature around you. You'll find peace in the gorgeous Mandala that is a spider web. You'll feel the grace of leaves and dance to the music in the rain.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don't have to do all the work. Your part may be quite small — mostly it's about maintaining an attitude. Your willingness is like a sail that you hoist, and the wind does all the work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There's a fine line between being a great PR person and being a troublemaker. Both require you to be good at drawing attention, which you certainly are. You'll cause a racket, and the noise makes everyone look.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's a strong part of you that yearns to do good deeds. Sometimes it longs for much more than is possible. Even if you fall short of what you'd like to give, your contribution will be appreciated. Indeed, it will change the world.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have fans in the sidelines you do not even know about. They are waiting for the right moment to make their interest in you known. They have been entertained by you and can't wait to see what you will do next.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your assembly of random items and bits of information is nothing short of brilliant. Innocent bystanders will believe you to be magical. It's as though you have pulled your work out of thin air.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Trying to control your thoughts today might seem as impossible as taming the ocean tides. But you can definitely learn your mental patterns and guide the natural flow of your mind to positive effect.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When someone offers to help you, just say "yes." This simple directive is not so easy for you to carry out.

You are so used to proving your independence at every juncture. But drop all that for now. Take the help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will love being out and about, and when you wear your lucky outfit, you'll love it even more. Looking your best is just one of the many things you can do today to better enjoy your sources of happiness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It's not that you try on purpose to buck the odds. It's just that you don't know the odds. You can only see what is logical and possible from your point of view. Statistics do not enter into that equation.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 17). You've already done the hard work. Now spread your wings and let the wind carry you where you want to go. A financial bonus comes next month. Professional success springs from the fact that you appreciate people for the qualities they possess and do not mourn for the ones they lack. Wedding bells ring in April. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 44, 31 and 18.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Your attraction secret for the weekend: Look inward more than outward. TAURUS: Contributing to the happiness of those you love might be hard work for you, but at least in the end you get to share that happiness. GEMINI: You can protect your right to do as you please in a way that doesn't offend or put another person out. CANCER: Enthusiasm is the key to making a stellar impression. It takes confidence to emote publicly! LEO: Give your loved one props. If there is no apparent reason to do so, invent one. VIRGO: Your observations about love are right on the money, though you still need to be careful of whom you share them with and how. LIBRA: You don't need to ride the high rollercoaster or bungee jump to feel powerfully alive. Love is your great thrill. SCORPIO: Your protective instinct is strong now, and loved ones feel safe near you. SAGITTARIUS: It has been proved that laughter promotes healing, and it can do the same for an ailing relationship. CAPRICORN: When you talk about your loved ones, you will put them in the best possible light. AQUARIUS: You will see things as your loved one sees them. PISCES: You may not care, but it's nice when you find out that a loved one's friends think the world of you.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Sagittarius and Virgo have different styles of communicating — one reason Sagittarius finds Virgo so fascinating. The methodical structure and careful planning that go into Virgo's daily life are also a source of wonderment for spur-of-the-moment Sagittarius. And when Sagittarius whisks Virgo into an unexpected adventure this weekend, it will be a memorable highlight for both signs.

Well I lost that and will start over. I observed Tanner yesterday and was very disappointed in how he performed in the room in five minutes. If I can observe a child at play I can read them. This starts about two years old for me. Sandra started a story. She called Tanner over to join in.. He came and slid into the chair halfway. She stop and helped him get fixed in the chair. He listened well but I saw what Mother has not been able to get him to mind quickly. Mother is too slow in the uptake and so he does not respect authority as well as he should. When I worked with mother she could not see that going to bed without a word or minding without a word was important. Now we have to try to correct that. I have to have a meeting with mother and give her the news. She may not like it but that is my job when I accept the responsibility of a little one. Now you know what I was after in observing the room at Bright Horizons yesterday. This is very important to me and tells a story of how well one is doing. I was sad that I have not done a better job with mother. She is a fifty year old mother trying to learn to be a good mother and is carried away with the fact that she is a mother instead of keeping her focus on how to do the job. Mothers that take a baby to bed with them can npt break the habit very well and the child fights forever to keep doing that which causes the child to argue with her on everything. This is a bad start. HM and I wave watched this with his sister and his mother over the years. This is bad parenting. Anyway here we are and I thought I could work with my child and help her do a fine job.I can't do it because I am not Tanner's mother. Now if she had left him with and not been around I could have done it. Mothers have a strong bond with babies. This bond is very important.Makes me sad though Tanner was so smart and I hoped Mom could do it. That was my Thursday and not my best day.
