This month will be full of surprises—most of them pleasant. Go with the flow and adapt to changing circumstances instead of meeting them with resistance. Earth and Air signs can expect a quieter phase, while Fire and Water will be running at top speed. All signs should strive towards balance between their work-week and playtime. Expect highs and lows of bouts of confidence and insecurity. Master these feelings with levity and good humor. We can avoid anything too serious right now so enjoy the playfulness of others. Choose the easy breezy.

Bach in the Subways L.A.

Bach in the Subways L.A. will celebrate the 330th birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach this Saturday, March 21, 2015 with pop-up performances of the German composer's repertoire throughout Los Angeles. Part of the global Bach in the Subways Day 2015, this special day of music is a unique opportunity for classical musicians to bring their instruments to the streets and public spaces of L.A. and play for the community.
 
A few standouts among the day's events will be an unprecedented 10-hour Bach Marathon in downtown L.A.'s Union Station. The 1930s rail terminal will be the site for chamber music performances by ENLIGHTENMENT MUSIC SERIES of the Orchestral Suite No. 2, the Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 and the Bach Double Violin Concerto; an organ recital played on an Allen Organ donated by the Los Angeles Organ Company; and a solo viola performance by the genre-fusing musician and composer MIGUEL ATWOOD-FERGUSON.

Performances are scheduled at other noteworthy public spaces and neighborhoods as well...

After the last retrograde, life should be easier and settling down for most signs. The next few weeks will be a good period for rest and reflection. We'd do better to stick with a routine now. Structure and follow through could free up the upcoming months for sun bathing and fun. Take each day as it comes though and don't plan too far ahead. Stay upbeat and on target with goals. Take pleasure in the simpler activities like a casual get-together with friends. Water and Earth signs should be out and about, while Air and Fire might do better staying close to their home.

The next few weeks will be about diplomacy and cooperation for most signs. This is a good time for negotiations, finalizing legal or financial matters, and tending to the home and family. We'd do better to not start anything new until we've cleared up the old. Water and Air will be reflective, but Fire and Earth should also slow down and review their goals. Anything involving details, paperwork, filing or the like should be done to allow a fresh perspective and clean slate. Clear up any confusion surrounding property or investments before signing on the dotted line.
