ARIES: It doesn’t matter where you put your attention; everything is important right now. Instead of freaking out over it, be grateful that emergencies are your strong suit. In a way, this is saving you the trouble of dealing with more complex issues. Even though the stuff you don’t want to deal with isn’t as obvious as the stuff on your plate, it’s still there. These things don’t go away, and what you’re about to find out is that nothing will clear up for you until that aspect of your life gets handled. None of this would be a problem if you weren’t emotionally stuck.

TAURUS: You’ve had enough of the high life. What used to be your favorite arena is too full of nothing to warrant spending time there. Stretch that thought to suit your own scenarios; this is about whatever you’re doing losing its meaning. Stay in close touch with the newly begotten desire to slow down and listen to yourself. Things have been so weird for so long, you’re not sure where to go for anything anymore. That’s OK. Think of it this way — by definition, when life loses its meaning all it means is we’re about to find it again. Perk up. This is a new beginning.

GEMINI: You get into too many double-bind situations not to be half aware that this is your nemesis. I don’t know how this feels to you, but when you’re always damned if you do and damned if you don’t, where do you get to live? After a while, it becomes obvious that being pulled apart is your favorite distraction and what it keeps you from doing is coming into balance with yourself. It’s OK to be out there connecting to things but don’t hook up with people or situations that require anything more from you than whatever it is you want for yourself.

CANCER: What do you have to say for yourself? This would feel a hell of a lot better if you could explain it. All of your recent actions have led others to misinterpret everything about where you’re coming from. The only thing you need to be asking yourself is, are your choices any of their business? There may be one or two you need to do some explaining to, but don’t go around apologizing to anyone for being yourself. When things change as much as they have for you, anyone who truly knows you and loves you wouldn’t need you to explain a thing.

LEO: You’d be happier about this if it paid more. I’m not so sure it’s just about money; a lot of things have been coming up short lately. Don’t take it personally and don’t get depressed about it. You can’t always be shining like a star. I have a feeling you’re getting a lesson in humility — or perhaps going through one of those "consider the uses of adversity" scenarios. One way or another, this is the way it is. Instead of getting paranoid about what it says about you, get real enough to see that this is all a matter of time and circumstance and try to find the light in it.

VIRGO: I can see why you’re pooped; being all things to all people sucks the life out of you. The desire to be the perfect friend, the perfect mate, the perfect person not only wipes you out but it makes you nuts. Only you can stop this. To add to the stress, overdoses of work and the need to concentrate on more than one thing at a time have turned life into a bit of a grind. If this sounds like you, you already know that you just want to be out of here. Give it time. And while you’re waiting for the pressure to drop try to imagine what you’ll be doing once you get your life back.

LIBRA: Things would be going a whole lot better if your sense of superiority and/or entitlement wasn’t driving everyone around you nuts. Take a good look at what’s going on; whatever your truth or your path or your goals are, don’t hold things over people and don’t expect them to drop down and agree with you. You could do so much with all the power you loan to yourself. Maybe this is all about you finding out that any power we have is meant to be given away. The less you make everything be about you, the happier you and everyone around you will be.

SCORPIO: This is getting ridiculous. How long have you been debating over this one? I don’t know what it’s all about but I can see that you’re wondering how much it will cost you to get involved. There are two things you need to think about. One is: sometimes people need you more than you need them. The other thing is: will this weaken or strengthen you? In a lot of ways you’d be better off on your own. But if this seems like a really good bet, go ahead and do it. As long as you don’t have to bow too much to compromise, it’ll be worth it to take the risk.

SAGITTARIUS: It may be too late to turn this around. If it is, you’re the one who’s going to have to take what’s left and figure out what to do with it. Don’t be too hard on yourself but don’t hesitate to look at how your actions have contributed to some of the stuff that’s haunting you now. If it helps, everyone is dealing with their version of the same thing. In situations like this it’s always more about holding steady and regrouping than it is about doing anything rash. Even if you wanted to make it all go away, you couldn’t — you can’t walk away from this.

CAPRICORN: The dynamics have changed on so many levels you’re not quite up to speed. Things have been moving so fast you haven’t had time to think, let alone talk things over with people. Before you press forward with anything, take the time to find out how everyone involved is relating to it. At this point, any misunderstandings need to be cleared up. This means that you’re going to have to be as straight as you can about what you see coming out of it, and hope that others are as open with you. This will only come together if you’re both on the same page.

AQUARIUS: It’s hard to figure why people say one thing and do another. You’re confused by the way others keep getting caught up in their own lies — and you’re tired of being part of it. In situations like this, telling the truth is the best medicine. You’ve done it before. On some level this situation is really tearing you apart and on another level you see it with an odd objectivity. The next time you meet, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to detach with love and let them know how it makes you feel to know that they don’t trust you enough to tell you why they need to lie.

Pisces: How does it feel to be on the other side of this one? You’ve either come out of a long stretch of trouble or you’re still battling with forces that deny the desire to move forward. If you’re fresh out of the cosmic operating room give yourself time to breathe and regroup. This is no time to be moving too far away from the nest. If you’re hassling with others or aspects of your personality that are too afraid to release you to your higher calling, expect to put up with it for a while. They will use every means at their disposal to prevent you from letting go.  | RDW
