Lunar Eclipse Dream Entries: Speaking of the deep unconscious, these have been posted to the subscriber and front page blogs. They are interesting indeed, with many tall dark strangers making appearances.

Exclusive! Elephant Seal Sex Photo: In late breaking news, our resident wildlife photographer informs us that today's cover photo is not a picture of a seal pup barking, but rather of a male and female adult pair having sex, in California, on the beach -- a quaint custom begun in 1969. It's a cool photo. See: http://planetwaves.net/

Forwarding of the horoscope is encouraged! Have at it! Thank you. If you happen to be reading this and you're a pre-subscriber, you can learn more by visiting this link: http://planetwavesweekly.com/

This is the Jonathan Cainer daily horoscope for Friday, March 17, with Eric Francis standing in while Jonathan is on holiday.

Today's exact meeting of Pluto and the Sun may have people around you on edge and ready to stand up for themselves at the least suggestion they're wrong. This is a fine day to do more listening than talking, and to take everyone's viewpoint under advisement. There are a number of planetary factors that say 'delay making big decisions'. Instead, collect all the information you can. The planetary picture is changing fast, and cosmic forces that are motivating people to be unusually individualistic will just as soon leave people alone. Meantime, please don't get caught up in any arguments that have nothing to do with you - or for that matter, the ones that do.

ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
We tend to think of 'spiritual' forces as anything embracing what we don't understand, cannot explain or cannot see. Yet the influences helping you heal your life are natural as rain, love or sunshine. You can feel something shifting, as if you're firming up your resolve to gain clarity - even though there may be messages coming in that say you don't really have a clue. You don't need to worry about those, nor do you need to confront the fact that you're still very much of two minds when it comes to an opinion you should, in theory, have all tied up.

TAURUS (Apr 21 - May 21)
Think of your work routines as the boat that takes you scuba diving. It is structured and serves a purpose, but if you want to see all those fish, you need to jump into the water. The habits you've developed serve this role in your life. At the moment, you may need to let them go for something more adventurous. They'll still be there when you need them. There's another way to look at this. Sometimes, in a position of leadership, you need to bend rules, so you can get something done. Just know where that boundary is.

GEMINI (May 22 – Jun 22)
Your situation appears more complicated than it really is. Part of what's happening is that you're picking up on the indecisiveness of others. It's even possible that a measure of deception or self-deception has infiltrated people close to you - and this is what's pushing you into retreat. At this point, you should keep your distance and maintain a watching brief. You may feel you're going backwards, but I can assure you that you're getting closer to a goal, not further away. When the moment comes to take action, you will know exactly what to do.

CANCER (Jun 23 - Jul 23)
There seem to be two situations developing in your life. One has a vague quality, and the other seems focused, demanding immediate attention. These are not separate matters, but rather two points of view on the same basic circumstance. It proves that if you look at something two different ways, you will see two different things. Recent experience has shown you not to jump to conclusions before you have all the facts - and decisions made under pressure are not always reliable. Some influential information is coming, timed with next week's change of directions of Mercury, so watch for it carefully.

LEO (Jul 24 - Aug 23)
A personal decision seems to be coming down to the wire, and because someone else is involved, it's critical you do the right thing. On one level you appear to be backed into a corner or faced with only one choice, which is no choice at all. You do have a second option, but to see it you'll need to entirely redefine the issue. You can take action without adversely affecting anyone. How you get there is a matter of creativity. Push yourself to come up with the perfect solution and it will appear before your eyes - where it's been all along.

VIRGO (Aug 24 - Sep 23)
You're at a point in your development when the path from concept to action is down to a bare minimum. Yet to access your best ideas, you need to work with your anger. Do not resist what gets you riled up, but work with it consciously and accept it as your own. What you feel over the next few days will stir up both your creative process and your impulsive side. You have the perfect mix of creativity, energy and discipline to both start and sustain a long-term project that can help a great many people, and help you find your way.

LIBRA (Sep 24 - Oct 23)
Emotional risk carries the potential for deep pleasure, and also for someone to get hurt. Often we get attached to both the pleasure and the pain of these experiences when we could easily just move on to the next phase of the journey. Life is offering you much intensity lately, and by now you probably realise you have to take the bitter with the sweet. The innovation is that you have less reason to cling, less incentive to get hung up on the future, and a true opportunity to feel your feelings rather than get hung up in them.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
You may not feel that it's easy to make decisions in the face of so much conflicting information and so many diverse emotions. You may have to risk being called cruel or insensitive if you decide that you're not going to let certain people influence you. It's just that key individuals have lost credibility for a certain point of view that in the past was much more important to you; and, lately, you've also begun to see the big picture, and appreciate the wisdom that offers. Stay true to yourself. There is no substitute.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
However odd it seems that people are ready to stand up for their rights and entitlements, you're in the position of determining what is and what is not a valid request. There is no doubt that certain individuals are making an impassioned plea, and may be taking advantage of a decision you've delayed making, up to this point. Yet what you know but they do not is that you're finally clear about taking the direction of your life a certain way. Not everybody will be happy, but you know you're doing the right thing. Keep your focus.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
Fortunately you're blessed with a cool demeanour. There are plenty of times when people wish you would get worked up more easily; this may be one of them. Fur may soon be flying, and to a certain extent you'll need to let people sort it out themselves. It would be nice if people recognised that both feelings and opinions are exaggerated at the moment. The important thing is to maintain your composure. You are aware that a lot is at stake, and that you risk even more by getting involved in things that have nothing to do with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
There is no rule about how we handle our earliest childhood experiences. Without guidance to the contrary, many people disregard it. I suggest you let your intuition guide you into understanding the connections between what you lived through before the age of seven and what you are experiencing now. You may want to work with the theory that most of it involves your mother. Like you, she had many feelings and was convinced other people did not understand. Like you, she may have been reticent to speak. Please don't make that error. 

PISCES (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
When you're right, it's not necessary to argue, with yourself or anyone else. Pisces is a defensive sign, and few others can relate to how easily you're overwhelmed by outside forces. Today, I suggest you notice how good it feels to respect your own viewpoint. I say this knowing that you may actually have plenty of reasons for doubt, and that there may be other influences - not the least of which are your momentary fits of insecurity. But this matters little when you know you're actually standing on solid ground. Walk slowly and notice how it feels -- the Earth is actually holding you up.
