ARIES: You haven’t seen anything yet. If someone keeps surprising you with their odd behavior, instead of wondering when it’s going to stop, you might do better to take it as a sign that they’re totally crazy! You don’t need this. And if you stick around just to make sure you don’t hurt them you’ll wind up in a codependent role that won’t serve either one of you. Waking up is as hard to do as breaking up, and while I understand what keeps you here, don’t let your inability to see things for what they are prohibit you from letting this go and moving on with your life.

TAURUS: You have your reasons for taking offense but don’t take it too far. Whoever’s giving you a hard time has plenty of justification for it. Instead of getting up in arms over things that involve your credibility you might do better to find some common ground. There’s no reason to fight and you’ll do yourself in if you spend too much time trying to prove them wrong. The old saying, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer," has a lot of truth to it. In this situation your best defense might be to get over yourself and find a way to cooperate.

GEMINI: What’s right in front of you looks like a mountain of stuff that would throw anyone for a loop. You’re too busy looking beyond it to see that what you really need to do is anchor yourself long enough to complete things. Others don’t know what to make of you. If they keep testing you, don’t waste your time being anything but authentic and don’t worry about it if they act weird. You can’t waste your energy on other people’s side trips. There’s too much to deal with. If you really want to strengthen your future bring your attention to what’s here and now.

CANCER: Lots of competition and levels of third-party interference are making your world more volatile than usual. In case you didn’t notice, someone wants to be the chosen one. Whatever end of the triangle you stand on, underneath all the drama this is about older things. Disengage from the need to play into it and try to see what it is that makes you always need to have someone or something interfere with the smoothness of your involvements. Check out where mom and dad were at; their story could give you the key to this repetitious pattern.

LEO: You can’t be too sure about anything right now. Themes of dissolving seem to be everywhere. When everything that seemed real suddenly dissolves, the ego goes right along with it. Reconnecting the dots takes time. If you’re confused about anything, in the middle of an identity crisis, confusion would seem to be totally appropriate. Don’t even try to snap out of it. Sometimes the best MO is to let it all dissolve enough to expand beyond your known limits. Open yourself up to "not knowing" and consider coming unglued to be an initiation of sorts.

VIRGO: Things have gotten out of hand. No matter how it looks to you, it’s totally under control; besides, you aren’t the one who needs to be worrying. Too many other things are more important than whatever you think you owe to so-and-so. It’s OK to be vigilant about your motives but you got over questioning them a long time ago. At this point it looks like you’re in a position to correct the situation, so don’t start wimping out or giving people the benefit of the doubt. If you just stay true to yourself, this craziness will morph into something totally cool.

LIBRA: The situation has changed and you’re beginning to understand why it just so happens to be you who’s stuck in it. We never know where we’ll end up. Here you are trying to figure out how to make the best of it, but it’s all you can do to find a way. There is a path out of here but you won’t find it if you aren’t totally clear that you’re 100% there for it. Down deep, a part of you may be thinking you can’t handle what life requires of you now. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge it. Nothing will move or improve until you look your demon straight in the eye.

SCORPIO: Nobody promised you anything. If you reflect back on all of this you weren’t paying attention. Expecting too much from people who don’t have the capacity to give it to you is like trying to get a Coke out of a coffee machine. What were you thinking? Whoever’s feeling the tail end of your disappointment didn’t know they were being set up. And what’s even more interesting is you are still of the mind that they let you down, when the truth is you wouldn’t know what to do if they measured up. This isn’t about them. It’s all your stuff. Think about that.

SAGITTARIUS: How far this will go is hard to say, but so far so good. Congratulations on manifesting something constructive for a change! You aren’t exactly sure what’ll happen next but you’re happy and whoever’s there with you is feeling pretty good about it, too. Enough has changed for both of you to know a little bit more about who you are. What seems more important than anything is a mutual need to move forward toward something lasting and permanent, without losing the spontaneity and freedom that comes from trusting the one you love.

CAPRICORN: You are torn by so many things and exhausted by them, too. Waking up and realizing that you can’t take care of everyone is a big item. Seeing this and recognizing that it’s time to pull away or at least change the way you do things is a good idea. Your love life is about to go through a major shift. Your heart is more open than usual. A deep willingness to accept whatever the conditions for relating are is bound to bring you into situations that teach you a great deal. Don’t question this. Just do your best to learn what you can from it.

AQUARIUS: You keep doing the best you can. Even though you aren’t entirely sure what the deal is right now, you do understand that you can only pay attention to what’s in front of you. Things seem to be going well and every day there are signs that you’re on the right track. At this point in time all any of us can do is be in the moment. Property issues and questions about whether or not to sell out have been percolating. So much is making you wonder. If you live in the northeast, it may be a good idea to vamoose and head south or west to warmer climes.

PISCES: Take time to deal with the things you overlook. Minor repairs are bound to become major if you don’t tend to them now. Changing your mind regarding a move or other important shift has become an issue. Ignoring your intuition, hanging on or playing it safe will get you into a whole lot more trouble than anything uprooting your self could cause you. There are reasons why we get impulses to do certain things. If you see all this as some sort of whim, it would be better for you to understand that what we call impulse is always the spirit calling.  | RDW
