Astroberry - Week of March 26-April 1, 2012

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): I hope you've been using this prolonged Mars retrograde through your solar 9th (which has been in effect for more than two months now) to iron out any confusing wrinkles in whatever tenets underscore your purposeful thrusts forward, Capricorn. Pretty soon, you'll find yourself happily swamped with a million-and-one issues and items that require a few moments of your attention… a grab-bag of errands ranging from lightweight and relatively trivial to profoundly essential, which should guarantee that at least you won't be bored. (In fact, you Capricorns tend to thrive attitudinally when there's a lot to do. Even when you gripe about how much is expected of you, there's a sly smile of contentment lurking just beneath your serious expression.) But it will prove helpfully productive if you have internalized these bigger questions of what is and isn't directly relevant to your central purpose so that, in any given moment, you'll be able to quickly discern the relative priority of whichever task has abruptly presented itself. Much like the dexterous protagonist of an old-school Tetris-type video-game, I envision you rapidly and adeptly sorting the endless stream of to-dos into piles of 'urgent!', 'sometime this week', 'can wait a little while', and 'politely decline'… a brilliant feat that's only possible if you've put in the necessary forethought in advance of this coming speed-up. Thankfully, I also see you enjoying this sort of game-like quality to managing your efficiency. Hone your attentiveness now.
