ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You want to belong to something bigger than yourself but still retain individuality. For many, this involves being accepted in a job or a family group, while having a great deal of discretion in decisions and actions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You want to get involved in group action today. You're feeling idealistic but with an inability to take the lead yourself, you require someone else to give directions, but you motivate others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Tensions rise today. An impending situation has you either waiting or ready to get involved. Beware of being whipped into a frenzy by propaganda of some sort. Dig past the claims to get at hidden information.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): This is a good day to relax with trusted associates and let down your hair. Set aside pretenses and share your thoughts and feelings. Listen to what others have to say. Get a deeper connection through your stories.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It is hard to stick to a routine without a variation. You seek ways to diversify your interests, your investments, your activities. You also don't want to be a loner. Look for like-minded groups to join.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don't like making compromises today. You feel that a solution has already been found and should be accepted. Further negotiations seem like a waste of time or like stalling. You want to move forward quickly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is both a separation and a union today. What they involve will likely cause a reversal of the present situation. It is very important that you exercise common sense and objectivity and not be swayed by vague feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are very creative and imaginative today but may find it hard to find ways to apply them. You require a partner who is grounded but who can take your unusual ideas sympathetically and run with them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You feel a lot of pressure from authorities today. Performance and deadlines are at issue, as could be obedience. There is a buildup of excitement or even dread. Don't consider bad results inevitable; intervene.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You're very sensitive to the needs of your family. Some may become fully engaged in what's going on while others will want to escape it completely. You essentially want to change the situation proactively or passively.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can become interested in unsolved mysteries and strange phenomena today. You are willing to credit the supernatural, or some particular part of it, as possibly being real and you want to know more.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A sudden crisis causes emergency action now. Hopefully, you are prepared. You go into overdrive to meet an unexpected situation, after which you feel exhausted. Don't get reckless as this could make problems worse.

Mar 15, 44 B.C.:
The ides of March: Julius Caesar is murdered

Julius Caesar, the "dictator for life" of the Roman Empire, is murdered by his own senators at a meeting in a hall next to Pompey's Theatre. The conspiracy against Caesar encompassed as many as sixty noblemen, including Caesar's own protege, Marcus Brutus.

Caesar was scheduled to leave Rome to fight in a war on March 18 and had appointed loyal members of his army to rule the Empire in his absence. The Republican senators, already chafing at having to abide by Caesar's decrees, were particularly angry about the prospect of taking orders from Caesar's underlings. Cassius Longinus started the plot against the dictator, quickly getting his brother-in-law Marcus Brutus to join.

Caesar should have been well aware that many of the senators hated him, but he dismissed his security force not long before his assassination. Reportedly, Caesar was handed a warning note as he entered the senate meeting that day but did not read it. After he entered the hall, Caesar was surrounded by senators holding daggers. Servilius Casca struck the first blow, hitting Caesar in the neck and drawing blood. The other senators all joined in, stabbing him repeatedly about the head.

Marcus Brutus wounded Caesar in the groin and Caesar is said to have remarked in Greek, "You, too, my child?" In the aftermath of the assassination, Antony attempted to carry out Caesar's legacy. However, Caesar's will left Octavian in charge as his adopted son. Cassius and Brutus tried to rally a Republican army and Brutus even issued coins celebrating the assassination, known as the Ides of March. Octavian vowed revenge against the assassins, two years later Cassius and Brutus committed suicide after learning that Octavian's forces had defeated theirs at the Battle of Philippa in Greece.

Antony took his armies east, where he hooked up with Caesar's old paramour, Cleopatra. Octavian and Antony fought for many years until Octavian prevailed. In 30 B.C., Antony committed suicide. Octavian, later known as Augustus, ruled the Roman Empire for many more years.

"The concept that we are all related is one of the basic philosophies of D/Lakota religion."

-- Dr. A.C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA

The Medicine Wheel teaches the four directions of the races, Red people, Yellow people, Black people and White people. These four directions are symbolic of all races. Everything in the circle is connected and related. All races are brothers and sisters. If we are related to each other, then it is important to love one another as brother and sister, aunt and uncle, Fathers and Mothers, Grandfathers and Grandmothers. We need to care for each other and especially respect each other. We need to honor one another's differences whether that difference is the color of our skin or our opinions. We should respect differences.

My Creator, let me feel the connectedness to all things. Let me know the lessons I need to learn today. Above all, let me feel my connectedness to You.

ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You want to be original but may only end up copying another's style. Practice in private, until you have a take that you can consider your own. Try a variety of approaches until you find one that flows naturally and easily.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Education necessarily involves controversy today. Expect to get into arguments but never take them personally. Accept new facts and different but workable ways of approach. Argue to learn what you don't already know.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You gravitate to social problems now but it's a day for learning about the issues. Many have a gut reaction to unfairness but go past that now and learn what's really happening and learn about what you can do as a solution.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You're prone to have radical solutions to social issues. You might get some people to agree with you, while alienating the majority. It's important to clarify whether you want an effective solution or want merely to be shocking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You encounter people who get you thinking. You become alert to alternatives you hadn't thought of. You discover that you've been suppressing the ability to think independently, so make up for lost time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You're involved with a campaign to change ideas. Your zeal is something you're not accustomed to. Just be aware that you must appeal to what people have in common, not to what separates them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A strong personality can make a strong impression on you. You are attracted to the certainty, which contrasts with your inner confusion, but you may mistake specific beliefs as the cause of the certainty. Careful evaluation isn't uncertainty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You're involved with a struggle for control or influence. You feel that powerful people are hurting the masses and you struggle to wrest control in the marketplace of ideas. Real change begins in the beliefs of ever-larger groups of people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You want quick analysis and instant results. The reality is that there must be thorough study and careful conclusions. You want to jump from project to project but focused dedication is necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Place the proper education of inexperienced people first today. You will need a new generation to follow in your footsteps so, if you care for society, for your institution, for your future well-being, you will do it well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sharp disagreements develop now. Beware of underhanded methods of resolving the conflicts; someone isn't playing fair. It's likely the quiet party who needs to speak up is the one who needs to be watched.
