XQQ SPRING 17

LIBRA (September 23-October 22): If you are faithfully seeing this conversation through, Libra, this
could be a momentous week in its unfolding… due, specifically, to a pressure having built up to such
a degree that certain sentiments or pieces of relevant information simply cannot be held back any
longer, and so they come rolling forth in a single spontaneous blurting-out. Obvious follow-up questions:
Who's been the one holding something back, the other person or you? Why has this particularity
been held back until now? And, perhaps most critical to how your week ends up, was the
'spontaneous blurting-out' a conscious intent (on your or their part) to courageously move forward
into greater transparency—or did it slip out in anger, fear, panic, or self-defense? This last bit really
does go far in determining whether the week's momentousness is a breakthrough or a breakdown… mainly because it profoundly
matters whether you mutually intend to share more about yourselves with each other (even if it happens clumsily
and/or brings a temporary sting) or if one of you, in a heated moment, gets exposed in your ongoing withholding.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Roll with the methodological snafus, mechanical breakdowns,
and/or bodily hiccups, Scorpio, rather than overreacting with a jerky expression of restless insistence,
accusatory criticism, or brute force. Just because your operative capacity to 'make it work'
with the technique or timing you'd hoped for may become frazzled or foiled, that's not an invitation
to jeopardize the whole project or program with a hasty Merc-rx-conjunct-Uranus response. While
an abrupt departure from the existing approach might indeed prove warranted, it wouldn't be wise
to seek such a breakthrough by frantically trying out possible fixes under the immediate heat of
duress… not without a critical few-moments' pause, to consider what else might potentially get forgotten,
mangled, or destroyed in the process, as an undesired side-effect. It'd be better not to advance quite as quickly or efficiently—despite
the inconvenience and irritation—than to miscalculate a supposed solution and end up getting knocked back a
step or four. Even in light of the likely need for improvised innovation, whatever you do shouldn't lose you any solid ground.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): What sounds attractive, appealing, or enjoyable in an
excitedly frisky moment, Sagittarius, may or may not be especially well-suited to the person you're
in the hard-earned process of becoming. Well, is it or isn't it? Just inserting that question into your
consciousness now—rather than letting a heated impulse, despite its tempting allure, carry you
away on its jet-propulsive thrust—ought to be enough to at least force a pause in advance of any
diving-in. And once the question's been asked, you'd be willfully thoughtless not to ponder potential
answers… including one (or more) which might allow you to somehow moderate or modify an otherwise
risky behavior or over-the-top pursuit so it doesn't disrupt your longer-term trajectory. Though
of course your horoscope applies specifically to this week's astrology, there is a more broadly applicable lesson to be learned
here: You can simultaneously rein yourself in, to a fair degree, and still let loose in celebration of life's in-the-moment pleasures
and possibilities. It all boils down to learning how to constructively impose that reflective pause at the appropriate moment
of your decision-making.
