Aries
March 21 - April 20
Who knows what will come out of
this? You’re the one with all the
power in the situation, so don’t let anyone
trick you into thinking that you need to go
out of your way. I see some potential for
other people’s motives to be a little twisted.
You might want to keep your eye on that.
What also seems clear is that you need to be
pumping up the volume on your work; not
just in the way of outer success, but from
the point of view of what purpose does it
serve relative to the greater whole. Money?
Fame? They don’t cut it in the long run. It
comes down to love at the end of the day.
Taurus
April 21 - May 20
People don’t give you the credit you deserve.
Either that or they have blinders
that prevent them from seeing who you are.
Some of you feel unworthy due to this lack
of recognition. Others don’t give a hoot
what others think because deep down inside,
you know who you are. At this point
things are coming together in a way that
will show the world how much you have
to offer. Be prepared to enter the limelight
and watch people get blown away by your
accomplishments. Whatever you’ve been
working on is ready to come to fruition,
and when it does, everything will change.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Things that have been in the works for
four or five years are just about ready to
hatch. You’ve made it this far. Keeping up
the good work is where it’s at. The expression,
“There’s many a slip between the cup
and the lip,” is well suited to your current
affairs. This means that even though things
are pretty much ripe, you need to remain
vigilant as you cross the finish line. Expect
detractors to show up to bollix things up,
and/or, challenges and snafus that serve to
distract you and rattle your confidence. For
the next month or so, keep your eye on the
prize and don’t fall asleep at the switch.
Cancer
June 21 - July 20
You’ve undergone a deep metamorphosis
in the last year or so. Your values,
your work, your sense of self, and your relationship
dynamics have shifted in more
ways than one. With what’s fallen away, the
sense of unknowing has left you wondering
what’s next. When things shift like this, it
takes time for life to replenish us. You can
run around filling the void with one thing
or another, but it doesn’t always work. In
some cases, you know enough to wait on
the will of Heaven. Be wary of the need to
grasp at straws. At a major milestone, quick
fixes don’t go with the territory.
Leo
July 21 - August 20
Only you can own the fact that this is
taking you to a deeper place. If the
changes of the last year have made you
realize how fragile life is, grab yourself by
the horns and remember that everything
has a limited life span, and “nothing gold
can stay.” When the rug gets pulled out
from under us it’s best to hold on and wait
for the next phase of our journey to materialize.
What they don’t tell us in school is
that we get just so much time to do certain
things. When the jig is up, we need to learn
how to stand on the shoulders of every experience
and move on from there.
Virgo
August 21 - September 20
This is one of those times when a deeper
look at yourself is in order. I say this
because whoever you thought you were, or
think you are, is gone with the wind. There
are moments when you are more than clear
about this, and the idea that you’ve lived
this long and still don’t have the answer
makes you nervous. Don’t let it get to you.
At times like this what’s really happening
is, you’re getting closer to the truth. So the
question is, when you hit the bottom line
where do you go from there? The only way
out is up. Raise your consciousness high
enough to let leaps of faith lead the way.
Libra
September 21 - October 20
There’s lots of last-minute stuff adding
to an already over the top schedule.
Things would be easier if you had some
help, or if others didn’t keep bailing out.
Your tendency to feel like it’s your job to
keep things together makes it hard to cope
with situations where everything is nuts.
Give yourself permission to ask for support
if you need it. It might also make sense to
let people have it if they’re too spaced out
to notice that they’re expecting too much.
It’s OK to be less than perfect. And, in case
you haven’t noticed, life always hits a tipping
point a month before your birthday.
Scorpio
October 21 - November 20
You’re in one of those phases where the
next round of inspiration is nowhere
in sight. When things get like this it can be
depressing. We start to wonder, “Why does
nothing seem to be working?” or, “Is there
more to life than this?” This is where we
start to look around, wishing that life would
take us deeper into the mystery. The daily
grind may have its good points but when
you wake up feeling empty inside, filling
the Void becomes an issue. This time the
cure for what ails you, ain’t “out there”.
Settle down and figure out how to pull your
inspiration from within.

Sagittarius
November 21 - December 20
You are doing better than ever. In so
many ways, your story looks absolutely
wonderful. As the goodness and blessings
pile up, part of you wonders when, or
if, the other shoe will drop. In some cases
this trepidation centers on how to remain in
control in your relationships. You’ve got it
made in many ways, but old stories haunt
you with the thought that this bubble could
burst at any moment. When things get like
this, it’s best to haul back and remember that
there are only two emotions on this planet:
love and fear. The message is; don’t let fear
overtake love and ruin your relationship.
Capricorn
December 21 - January 20
ou’re pretty sure of yourself. There’s
Ynothing wrong with that; it’s good to
be clear about your position. As the next
few months unfold that sense will be validated
by external circumstances. In a few
months, the long awaited dream could be
in your pocket. Part of you knows this, and
can feel it – but deep down inside you are
just as aware of all the things that you keep
well hidden. In your private moments, you
wonder if those issues will spoil the party.
It might be time to bring them to light,
because they will bring you down if you
continue to let them run you from within.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 20
ou have been spinning your wheels in
Ymore ways than one. The deeper part
of you is dying to settle into doing things
that mean something. The everyday routine
pays the bills, but your heart and soul are
elsewhere, wishing you could do your own
thing. It looks to me like that possibility is
right around the corner. If you’re hesitant
about taking time out, or even quitting your
post and going after your heart’s desire,
don’t let your money issues keep you stuck
here. From what I can see, a whole new
ballgame is on the menu, and it will mark
the beginning of the rest of your life.
Pisces
February 21 - March 2
At this point you have more than one
option. Deciding which way to turn
is the kicker. After more than your share
of difficulties, feeling confident about your
choices isn’t easy. Others have their opinions.
Being swayed this way and that is a
pitfall. The way everyone else sees it has
nothing to do with you; as a matter of fact,
it could have too much to do with them,
and their interests. If something looks like a
rat and smells like a rat, it probably is one.
Now would be the time to keep your own
counsel and trust your innate intuition, and
your instincts to be your guide.
Till death do us part
This week’s horoscopes are coming out under the light
of a void-of-course, Capricorn Moon. This week, I have
done a bunch of readings for people who are wrestling with
the age-old question of what to do
about their relationships. As you
can imagine, this topic comes up
all the time.
We have been educated to
view this area of our lives with rose
colored glasses. The standard take

on the subject is that we grow up
and at a certain point in time, the
perfect person comes along to
make our life complete. We fall in
love, get married, and stay together
with our one and only, until death
do us part. This belief is entrenched
in the collective consciousness. All of us are convinced that
it happens to everyone. If you stop to look around, that’s ridiculous,
because it doesn’t happen that way — to anyone.
The model of what happened between us and our
parents holds huge clues as to what our adult relationships
will look like. The horoscope reveals everything about that,
if you know what to look for. I have also noticed that people
with Aries rising wind up alone at the end of the day. If they
do find themselves in a relationship they have to be with
someone who doesn’t need them and/or, with someone
who loves the fact that they are so totally independent. To
sum up it up: not all of us came here to mate.
Relationships have a life-span. Some last as long as it
takes for them to brush shoulders at a cocktail party. Some
are one-night-stands. Some last for a few weeks or months.
Others can last for a few years, or go on for 10 or 15 years.
Sooner or later, these connections reach an impasse,
or a point where staying together makes it impossible for
each individual to be who they are. At these junctures, the
“till death do us part” concept, and the belief in the one and
only inevitably causes them to do their best to make it work.
They spend a fortune on marriage counselors, without
realizing that they have completed their Karma together
and any attempt to make it work is counterproductive.
Doing so interferes with their spiritual growth — not only
that, it holds up the line — because another partner, with
whom they have made a contract, is waiting in the wings to
come in and teach them a little more about love, and about
themselves.
If we hold on to the belief that we’re here to stick it out no
matter what, one way or another we wind up killing each
other, and we miss the lesson. I invite you to take what you
can from this week’s ‘scopes.
