ARIES: Life has been on the intense frequency and you’re not quite sure how to handle it. Your instincts work for you most of the time but lately you’ve had to deal with the side effects of too much faith in the wrong things. If the whole ball of wax is melting you’ve gotta stop wondering about it and look at what it’s telling you. Once you read the signs you may see that anything would be better than this. And if you’re one of the few who are enjoying the ride you’ve already figured out how to take the good with the bad and are making the most of this intensity.

TAURUS: You can’t do much about the way people think. Differences of opinion have raised questions about the right way to do things. If you really think you’re right about this, the only way you can change anyone’s mind is to get around it. Instead of insisting on your rights in this situation you’ll further your cause by finding out more about the way others see it. Coming to an agreement would serve you far more than engaging in any kind of conflict. Consider the benefits of peaceful cooperation and open up to the thought that two heads might be better than one.

GEMINI: You’re worried about the wrong thing. What other people do is their choice, so don’t try to control the direction things take. Fortunately for you, the fates have conspired to make this dream come true; on some level, it’s already written that there will be a reunion within a few months, or some positive resolution to things that have troubled you for quite a while. As others begin to awaken to their destiny, have you had any thoughts about your own? Insight into why you choose to be consumed by externals will reveal the extent to which it stunts your growth.

CANCER: You should have known better but it’s too late to wonder why you didn’t. Self analysis is good up to a point. Living in the past and rehashing what happened keeps you locked into that story in a way that prevents the next level of your experience from unfolding. Getting your mind off this could require a jolt, a bolt from the blue that reminds you that it’s the present moment that we live in. Dwelling on what’s over replicates it. Pull yourself into the moment and look at what’s here and now. Is there anything about the past that still applies to any of it?

LEO: You’ve got differences of opinion that stand to distance you from anyone who doesn’t share the same view. As hard as it may be to see it any other way but your own, it would make your life easier if you could open up. If what you crave more than anything is love, what is it that causes you to reject the possibility just because someone does things a little differently than you do? Rigidity about anything is always an indication of resistance. When we push things away nothing comes to us. Get over yourself. You could be having a ball if you weren’t so stuck.

VIRGO: It’s obvious that things are about to take off and you’re a little nervous about how it’s going to go. I don’t blame you, because so much of what you’re involved in has an edge to it and things could explode before this turns into a supernova. Part of you is worried about hurting people and another part of you is more concerned with the truth. What you seem to forget is that sometimes the truth hurts. It’s not your job to babysit for other people’s emotional responses, especially now when their feelings seem to be at the heart of what’s holding things back.

LIBRA: You wonder why the phantom lover never seems to arrive or measure up. After all, you’re everything anyone could ever want. Underneath whatever you’ve done to make yourself perfect, there’s a wound that has never had the chance to heal. If you care enough to really look at it you will find that there’s a primary rejection piece that’s been there from the beginning. Could it be that the perfect relationship never materializes because it’s so hard to believe that you deserve to be loved? Are you ready to believe it; and would a radical move bring it about?

SCORPIO: Winding up in a fling that has no rhyme or reason to it could take many different forms. Depending on your nature, some of you could get into one of those "the Devil made me do it" situations; others could find themselves going overboard just for the hell of it. In a hundred years we’ll all be dead, so don’t spend too much time wondering whether to go for it. Some people say you only live once — and the ones who tell us we go around again and again understand that experience is the best teacher. If this feels right to you, jump on it.

SAGITTARIUS: Getting too big for your britches is always a pitfall. Getting stuck in pride about yourself, your capabilities, your connections or accomplishments offers important lessons in humility. Before you go too far with giving yourself more credit than you deserve, ask yourself if this is what it’s cracked up to be. When it comes to tooting your own horn, inwardly or outwardly, it’s best to be careful. In the long run, if whatever you’re selling really has merit it’ll get noticed. Instead of proclaiming yourself, focus on refining your dedication to your work.

CAPRICORN: It would be great if you didn’t have so much going on. The weight of responsibility always makes it harder for you. Anyone else could overlook some of this, but you couldn’t live with yourself if you did. Kids, work, pending deals and/or side issues that have to do with who’s taking care of who are all complicating things at a time when enough is enough. You haven’t got the energy or the inclination to deal with half of this, so cut down on your terminal need to be there for everything and focus on yourself and what you need for a change.

AQUARIUS: You’ve got a choice to make. It has to do with going along with the program or trusting yourself enough to find out what you really came here to do. Bucking the system is never easy, but when those things lose their meaning do you really have a choice? It makes no sense to go down the old and tired route because you’re afraid that if you don’t you won’t succeed or be fulfilled. The very act of staying inside the lines suggests that you don’t believe in anything enough to know that when life loses its meaning, you have to step out of line.

PISCES: Going deeper into the mystery has its good points. There’s something to be said for knowing more about the truth. At the same time, you’re wading through so much crap you can’t believe what you’re seeing about yourself. When the veil of illusion falls away, a lot of things disappear along with it. Whatever it costs you to let things go, know that nature hates a vacuum. The loss of whatever you thought you were is making room for your authentic self to shine through. Don’t resist any of this, and don’t be afraid of who you’re becoming.  | RDW
