ARIES: You are anxious to start something new and it’s bound to affect your judgment. You need to give yourself more time to decide which path to take. A lot of opportunities are coming into focus, but that doesn’t mean you need to rush into anything. Some of the people you have to deal with live at such a low level of integrity that the first thing you should ask yourself is, "Can I play these games?" We are known by the company we keep, and if you hook up with the wrong connections your reputation will suffer.

TAURUS: You have too many choices and very little clarity. Being able to see what you need to do is hard when you don’t know for sure what you want. Inside, I think you’re so worried that everyone will think you have forgotten about what’s important. You also need to remember that your security doesn’t depend on playing anyone’s tune. You have to find your center. Getting up the guts to take off down a completely new road will coincide with the flash that you can’t continue with this routine.

GEMINI: You don’t realize how much the choices that you make at the personal level affect every other aspect of your life. When it becomes impossible to hold steady from within and you start doing things that contradict your true nature, everything in the universe suffers. If you are selling out in any way, do your best to see it. You didn’t come here to live a mediocre life — none of us did. If you think you can get through the eye of the needle and stay on this road, think again. A little honest soul-searching is in order.

CANCER: You have been giving yourself a hard time for walking away from someone or something. It’s typical to run guilt trips on ourselves every time we make any sort of radical shift. The truth is, God had other plans for you — that’s all there is to it. And in order to remain connected to your own source, you had to leave. Give yourself a break and stop feeling as though you need to apologize for being who you are. If others choose to fault you for this it’s only because without you, they are left to face their own demons.

LEO: You are walking a fine line between the world of spirit and the world of men. It is admirable that you can live in both places so gracefully. All of the problems you have had with those closest to you have been made less critical by the spiritual understanding you have brought to the situation. For now, things seem to be in balance. If you can maintain your connection to your own truth and your own center, they will stay that way. Outer things are less important right now. Don’t waste too much time in superficiality.

VIRGO: You just came out of a very difficult choice. It took so much courage to walk away from the best thing that ever happened. Unfortunately, there were too many strings attached to that piece of heaven and you knew yourself well enough to be able to say, “I just can’t pay that toll.” Now you are wondering if you did the right thing. It would have been stupid to hang around and let someone else’s fears take precedence over your deepest desires. Don’t lose sleep over this. You will find heaven somewhere else.

LIBRA: You’ve been getting mixed signals for a while and would love to know what’s going on. This riddle is in fact a metaphor for your deepest, primary issue. No wonder you can’t make sense of it — yet. Sit back and watch others destroy or redeem themselves and do whatever you need to do to keep from getting too involved. Sometimes it’s more useful to see people’s true colors than it is to keep nursing your illusions about them. If the truth is what you’re after, you’ll be seeing more than your share of it shortly.

SCORPIO: You have gotten into one of those situations where it’s your job to save the day. This is something you’re better at than most people. What you might want to look at is whether it’s worth it? Because whoever or whatever you’re trying to rescue is either a lost cause or won’t respond to any amount of effort on your part. Maybe you should stay out of this. There are plenty of other ways to satisfy your heroic nature. You can’t waste your energy propping up people and causes that can only rise or fall on their own merits.

SAGITTARIUS: How far are you willing to go to get what you want? There seems to be some reluctance to let yourself really shine. If you feel like it’s egotistical to step beyond certain limits, know that there’s a difference between having delusions of grandeur and being who you are. Older echoes are telling you you’re not allowed to have this, but the voice that speaks to you from your own source is saying, "Go for it!" Dump the false humility and stop hiding your light under a bushel. There’s no shame in being fantastic.

CAPRICORN: You’ve insulted someone in the heat of the moment and you may not be able to patch it up. Whoever you’ve offended doesn’t feel like they owe you much of anything at this point, and you can bet that they won’t be coming around. If you need them for something, you’ll have to figure out a way to take back everything you said — but if you’ve had it with them too, consider this bridge burned. Don’t spend too much time analyzing what happened — what’s done is done, and it’s probably better for both of you.

AQUARIUS: A little "time out" has cleared the cobwebs in your head enough for you to come to terms with a few things. What you didn’t want to see hasn’t gone away and now it’s right in front of you. How you’re going to reconcile the fact that your choices have shoved your principles down the tubes is a good question. You could be living a totally different life — one that allows you to be yourself. You have made compromises that are unbecoming. It’s not too late to tell the truth, but whether you will or can is up in the air.

PISCES: You thought that you had everything figured out — until now. It seems as if a new love interest or the return of an old one is complicating what had become so simple. Old patterns of jealousy, infidelity trips or others who feel left out because your outside interests seem to be more important than them, are keeping you on your toes. All this drama reminds you of high school — and if you continue to rewind, it bears a whiff of "mommy and daddy." Try to be amused. This is going to be one helluva side show!  | RDW
