ARIES: Nobody thought it would go this way. You expected something more or something entirely different than what you’ve got and it’s calling you to wonder if it would be best to depart before things get worse. Don’t be upset with yourself for not being able to handle this; you didn’t know it had strings attached. It doesn’t matter if you stay or go. What matters right now are your motives; you may be better off going at this independently than you will be if you continue to have to adjust all of your behavior to please someone else, or your own sense of righteousness.

TAURUS: You’re not alone. If you think you’re the only one who’s got stuff going on, life is teaching all of us an intense lesson. These things are never what they appear to be. At the moment you’re not sure about anything. Levels of uncertainty have caused you to question your whole purpose for living and you feel like you could snap. What you forget is that these times when everything defies analysis are when we’re much closer to the truth than we are when we think we’ve got it all figured out. Stay open. You’re here for the lesson; the rest of it is illusory.

GEMINI: Circumstances have involved you with people who need you to do what they can’t do for themselves. And it’s quite possible that you’re the one who’s finally getting taken care of. Either way something is calling you to look at what we give and what we take from our relationships. You have begun to see that it’s impossible to be generous toward anyone if you don’t know how to receive. What goes around comes around. When you’re not out to take anything from anyone you can give them everything you have, and/or receive it back.

CANCER: Be mindful of the company you keep. You aren’t the least bit clear about why you’re here, and until you see that you came for a very specific lesson, your experiences will continue to teach you. At this point it’s difficult for you to separate what the child in you wants from what the adult needs. It’s more than evident that you don’t need this, but an older part of you keeps drawing you back to it. It would be better for you to focus on yourself and what you came here to do than it would be for you to spend all your energy feeding old patterns and negative people.

LEO: You could try a little harder but it won’t make a difference. No one’s noticing. And they either won’t or they can’t because they have other obligations and/or preferences. Give this situation only what it will take. Don’t knock yourself out over things that are of no consequence and don’t expect anyone to care. Timing is everything and it makes no sense to push when circumstances call you to see that nothing comes to fruit when you do. It’s also more than obvious that you need to wind down and find a way to reconnect with your creative self.

VIRGO: You may not know what to do next but at least you’re aware that something needs to change. Reviewing the last few months, let me remind you that nothing has been easy. The reason you’re obsessed with moving on to anything but this is because you’ve had to give up everything just to hang in there and do it. Give yourself a few more months to consider the uses of adversity and don’t try to change directions until you know for sure that you can’t get any satisfaction out of this. Bold moves won’t work now. Keep your nose to the grindstone and wait.

LIBRA: Now that everything has come together you have a whole new set of problems. Getting what we want doesn’t necessarily mean that life turns into a fairy tale. If you’re here for the right reasons your "better angels" will guide you through all of the changes that go with this transition; don’t worry about a thing. Those of you who aren’t clear about your motives will find it harder to deal with some of the stuff that’s going to come out of this. If the call to be honest is heeded, you’ll be able to redirect your energy into picking up where you left off and moving on.

SCORPIO: Too much is coming at you. If it seems that way, it’s because you take on more than your share of other people’s stuff. Half of this wouldn’t be a problem if you weren’t so involved with things that even they can’t change. Whatever it is that draws you to desperation, you seem to need this. Your ability to deal with other people and their pain is as much about you as it is about them. Underneath it all you wish someone would come and help you deal with yours, but there is still a deeper question lurking. Is all of this just a distraction that keeps even you from seeing it?

SAGITTARIUS: No one has more to say about how this goes than you do. Don’t assume that it’ll work for you to let it all take care of itself; and don’t overlook other people’s weaknesses just because it suits your purposes. Too much is on the line for you to be wishy-washy. Your next move may require you to put your foot down. You may even have to postpone some of your own plans because whomever your foot lands on won’t be around to pick up the slack. Don’t put off dealing with the way things are in a firm and direct manner. You can’t run away from this.

CAPRICORN: Six months ago you were standing around with no sense of purpose and now, low and behold, you’ve got one. It doesn’t matter what it is; you could be chasing skirts, baking pies or healing the planet from within, for the first time in a long time, you’re onto something. No one needs to tell you that it’s great to have a sense of meaningfulness, in whatever we do. If this is what gives you joy keep it up and don’t let your security issues interfere with the idea that only through connecting with what we love do any of us find our way back to the source.

AQUARIUS: You can’t be sure about other people’s motives and you can’t overlook the fact that you don’t feel good about this. If one and one make two, I’d say it’s time to trust your intuition. No one knows how you’re going to respond to the return of something or someone who’s got a major hold on you at the emotional level. Getting back into anything that requires you to trust a situation that didn’t work out in the past will do nothing but drag you down. If there was ever a time to pull out all the stops on the detachment button, that time is now.

Pisces: Don’t overwork or overanalyze your issues. None of this is as dramatic as it feels. And even though you deserve to make the most of the experience, get off of your cloud and start living as if the drama meant less than your need to see it for what it is. Underneath it all, all you did was make a choice. Living with it will be easier if you understand that timing and boundaries mean everything right now. Speed up any process that looks like it could take forever and don’t let anyone try to tell you that they have the right to make what’s yours, their business.  | RDW
