This week's Astro-Barry

Okay, my bullish brethren… prep time is over. Hope you're prepared to take action, at last. I'm giving you a bit of crap, Taurus, even though I have deep understanding for how these big leaps usually need ample time to germinate inside you before they're ready to publicly present themselves. But sooner or later, you must swallow your fears and put your money where your mouth is. (Talking about all the amazing potentials is a blast, for sure, but it doesn't actually start any balls rolling.) Well, at this juncture, sooner is far preferable to later. You may run at a certain tempo, but humanity's rhythms keep on speeding up… and you don't have a zillion years left to continue chewing on every last what-if scenario like some architectural engineering expert who must test how each possible act of nature might impact his state-of-the-art skyscraper masterpiece. It's highly unlikely that whatever move you choose to make now will result in whatever embarrassment or catastrophe you dread—especially now that Venus is joining Mercury and Neptune in your house of outward earthly accomplishment. Over these next few weeks, you're due to ascend to some new 'level' of something. The factor likeliest to hold you back at the moment (as represented by a pestering Mars)? A split consciousness within you about your self-worth. Part of you believes you deserve it, while the other part has a decent argument to counteract this 'inflated view of yourself'. Don't let the naysayer win out. 'Inflate' away.
