Celebrity Horoscope for Maureen Lipman

Have people said that you are out of touch with feelings? Do some folks have difficulty conveying their emotions to you? Do you tend to ignore, discount or deny sentiments?

You strive to be emotionally self-sufficient or above it all. Yet, your emotional needs are stronger because they are unconsciously and habitually repressed. Work on compassion, empathy and emotional rapport.

It is even possible that you don't have much past life experience as a human being on planet earth. In that case, as you age and mature you can become more sensitive to the feelings of this world.

TIP: Water is a chief symbol for feelings. Bring the water element more into your life. Get a hot tub, water bed, fish tank, fountain, and pool. Live closer to a great body of water.

Lend an ear to someone who worked with feelings. Listen to Beethoven's 9th symphony.

YOUR MIND IS YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET

Your mind is your most valuable asset; you could be an intellectual. The world of ideas is important to you. Intellectual companionship, seminars, books, magazines, films, and educational cassettes interest you. Feeding your mind is just as important as feeding your body. School can be the place for you.

TIP: In the words of Robert Anton Wilson, "You need to learn more about everything, including how to learn more."

People fascinate you and you tend to regard them in a detached manner. Consequently you enjoy teamwork and social interactions more than most folk. Sentimentality does not figure highly in most of your relationships.

You can excel in any field that requires negotiation skills. Sales and writing may be avenues of pursuit. You have an affinity for abstract reasoning, codes of law and ethics - you're very good at perceiving, comparing and communicating. You are much more objective than most people, and probably more liberal in your thinking.

Your weakness is not foolishness so much as it is indecisiveness. Too much thinking can result in lost opportunities. There is a time to get out of your head and make a decision. If you find that you can't sleep because your mind is racing, get up and work with your ideas. Get ideas down on paper, onto index cards, into a word processing machine or up and out into the airwaves.

Consider getting a brain machine and taking "smart drugs." Learn speed reading and typing. To avoid overstimulation, cut back on the use of artificial sweeteners and sugar. To the same end, you might take a mineral supplement and kelp tablets.

Essentially, you need to be assured that everything's O.K., safe and secure. Once that's taken care of you are ready for gracious living. That is to say, you need some good food, antique furniture and passionate sex, possibly with extra probing fingers. You like to touch nice things, own nice things, wear nice things, eat nice things and have nice things. Touch or the physical world is real and gives comfort. In fact, "I Have" is something of a Taurean philosophy of life.

It is important that you acquire some mastery over the physical, practical and earthly world. Then, paradoxically, you must learn to let go. You will only find security by acquiring a sense of self that is separate from what you possess. Actually, it's not so much about what you possess, but about not being in "survival jeopardy".

Emotionally you're not cold so much as you are thoughtful. Unless there are conflicting signals in other sections of your reading, you're probably not often accused of being too sentimental or gushy. When you're under stress you analyze. No doubt to this day there is something steadfast and meticulous about you. You can be a perfectionist. One way or another, you like to solve people's problems.

TIP: Perfectionism and excellence are two sides of the same coin. One focuses on eliminating deficiencies. The other focuses on increasing quality. Learn to balance the two.

Add some green and brown to your wardrobe. Get a little kinky with food. Find new uses for chocolate sauce and licorice whips. Eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream off your lovers nipples.

You're methodical and discriminating. You can be very fussy as well as practical. You have some natural business instincts.

However, it is necessary for you to be some kind of a health nut. Find an exercise program that's right for you. Make regular visits to a health food grocery store. Invest in fresh organic fruits and veggies and food supplements.

In a flash, you can change your mind and your point of view. Direct, assertive and forceful communication is probably your style. You're impulsive, impatient, outspoken and tend to speak first and think later.

Good conversation and a variety of interests matter to you. You appreciate diversity. Once you develop an intellectual rapport with someone, the flirting really escalates. You can increase your powers of attraction literally through the wink of an eye.

Perhaps you think you're the queen or the king and that justifies your temper. You get what you want with a dramatic and sometimes melodramatic flourish. You can go after success, recognition, attention and applause.

Capitalize on your poise, hospitality and sense of justice. With the right partner you can do anything. Work with people you can rely upon. Also, learn to count more upon yourself. You can do big things with your charm and sincerity.

You can learn to get close without getting clingy. Develop inner security and you earn the right to love. Keep your body moving. Enjoy regular physical activity. Remember that not all digestive problems are from what you eat, sometimes it's what's eating you.

You get a 7-year itch to free yourself from limited and limiting forms of communication. You can find silence unsettling. When you're restless, which can be extreme and often, feed your head new and innovative information. It is likely that you experience some flashes of genius.

It is probably a good idea for you to steer clear of people heavily involved with alcohol and religious fanaticism. For at least 5 minutes a day for 5 weeks focus your mind exclusively on the meanings of this statement, "All observation tends to be self observation."

You're here to find yourself, be yourself and express yourself. The hell of it is that jealousy and power struggles are issues you must squarely face. Jealousy is not necessarily a trait of yours. However, you'll have to deal with the jealousy of your peers and in business.
