Aries
March 21 - April 20
Recent encounters have altered your
perspective and changed the way you
see things. With a new sense of what will
work and what won’t, you feel empowered
to press forward with plans that will slowly
but surely turn into the most important thing
you’ve ever done. Pressure to keep bowing
to the expectations of others needs to
be monitored. Anyone who can’t see what
you’re involved with is blind to the fact that
you are on a whole new bandwidth. Keep
your feet on the ground, but let the spiritual
piece expand and allow you to awaken and
go even deeper into the mystery.
Taurus
April 21 - May 20
How to proceed is the question. It’s not
like you don’t know what you’re doing,
but the story has changed, or the act
of bridging the gap between one thing and
another isn’t what you thought it would be.
Anything that feels like dead weight needs
to go. Before you can get this to roll you’ve
got to drop all the phony BS and return to
integrity. In situations like this it always
comes down to: “OK; where am I coming
from, what is the Truth, and where do I go
from here?” Think twice about the fact that
you won’t be able to answer any of those
questions with the same old thing.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
You’ve got a whole raft of complications
making things harder than they
have to be. Thank God the deeper part of
you finds it easy to make light of what
would put anyone else in the nut house!
As the next few weeks unfold, the forces
that assail you will ease up and turn out
to be nothing to worry about. By the time
the Solstice rolls around whatever this is
about will be gone with the wind. As the
dust settles, life will open up to allow you
to focus on what really matters. There are
moments when you feel totally alone, but
those closest to you will be there for you
through all of this.
Cancer
June 21 - July 20
You would feel better about this if elements
of the past had less to say about
how it came about. Part of you wonders
what drove you to it. Now that you’re here,
it’s time to figure out whether it’s what you
wanted all along or if you’ve just fooled
yourself into thinking you want to be this
person. It might be simpler to say that
you’ve got to check in with yourself long
enough to know for sure that you chose
this – because if there is any other motive
for putting yourself in this position you will
soon find out that it never pays to let our
baggage keep running us from within.
Leo
July 21 - August 20
Keep in mind that your fixed ideas about
what you need to be doing may have
nothing in common with what will work
for you in the long run. At the moment
the ability to be open and flexible calls
you to consider possibilities that don’t fit
the mold. In some cases the whole ball of
wax needs to be restructured, because it’s
time to graduate from your early childhood
conditioning and get in touch with who
you are. At a certain point in time all of us
have to speak our truth. Don’t let your fears
about who this might upset interfere with
the need to change your plans.
Virgo
August 21 - September 20
Biting off more than you can chew is
coming up for a lot of you lately. As
what looked like it would be a piece of cake
turns out to be something else altogether,
there’s a good chance your good nature
will succumb to what happens to the best
of us when we get overwhelmed. Dealing
with numerous SNAFU’s would be easier
if your perfection trips didn’t require you to
keep all of your ducks lined up. Calm down
and maintain your sense of humor. There is
no perfection here in 3-D. At the same time,
even when things are totally out of control
it helps to remember that it’s ALL perfect.
Libra
September 21 - October 20
You thought you got over this routine
ages ago. Now here you sit, reckoning
with issues that make you wonder how you
could have lived this long and still be so totally
clueless. All of us are children when it
comes to certain things. Emotionally? Your
sophisticated ways and your PhD don’t
mean a whole lot to your inner child, who
is always hiding behind the door, running
the show from within. For many of you,
it’s pull yourself up by the bootstraps time.
Any chance to grow up, beat feet, and get
on with the show will save you a whole lot
of trouble in the long run.
Scorpio
October 21 - November 20
Your next opportunity will come with
challenges that call you to be supersensitive
to the needs of others. Thank God
the ability to empathize is your strong suit.
If you can zoom in and choose your battles
before they heat up you’ll save yourself
tons of trouble in the long run. Youthful
egos and arrogant types who loan themselves
more credit than they deserve will
move you to wonder what makes people
think they have a clue. Don’t get waylaid
by their nonsense; use it to remind yourself
that real talent has its own light and let what
happens next prove this to be true.
Sagittarius
November 21 - December 20
How far are you willing to stretch
yourself? I ask because life is calling
you to move beyond your limitations.
This may call you to leave your comfort
zone and trust in the power of things that
exist outside of the physical. I suspect that
your need to feel connected to the divine is
stronger than it’s ever been. With the spiritual
piece in high focus it’s time to look at
what matters in the long run. Of course the
pull of ordinary things will always be there,
but it’s the inner being that sustains the outer
stuff. Keep your heart centered there and
make way for a miracle or two!
Capricorn
December 21 - January 20
It’s hard to say how things are stacking
up. On the one hand you’ve got it made.
On the other hand you might not see it that
way; either that or you’re under the illusion
that what “looks good” is an indication that
you’re sitting on top of the world. I hate to
be so cryptic but you guys are either angels
or devils and everything depends on the
extent to which you operate on the “light”
side. This is a defining moment. Delusional
tendencies are rampant. Efforts you make
to come clean and remain true to yourself
and others will be met with rewards that
lead you up instead of down.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 20
Little by little things are coming together.
The vision is always up on the
screen long before the details get ironed
out. As much as you would like to put the
cart before the horse, in this dimension the
nuts and bolts have to be in place before the
dream manifests. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to
poke around in your future and make believe
that this dream of yours has already
come true. Nothing stands in the way, and
those closest to you are already on board.
Yes, your safe and secure little setup is at
stake, but the bird in your hand will pale in
comparison to the one in the bush.
Pisces
February 21 - March 20
One door closes and another one opens.
Here you sit, midway between “that
was then” and “this is now.” It’s too soon
to know where things will go from here,
so don’t put a lot of pressure on yourself
to be crystal clear about anything. Those of
you who didn’t see this coming will have
a hard time getting your bearings. If you
were ready and waiting, it’s a little more
doable, but, major transitions pack a punch
no matter how well prepared we are. What
happens next will ride on whatever you’ve
brought to this place. Rest on the fact that
you are the only one who can handle it.
