ARIES: You’re freaking out about the fact that you’re turning into your parents. It happens to the best of us at some point along the line. The fact that you’re aware of it is a good sign, so don’t lose hope. That being said, maybe it’s time to look at yourself. How is it that you’ve settled into a pattern that doesn’t suit you or your beliefs? These things happen invisibly. Waking up to the realization marks the point where it becomes possible to turn it around. Now that you see what you’ve done to yourself is there any way that you could make a decision to change it?

TAURUS: You’ve gotten into a situation that has you pitted against your early programming. If it looks like something else, it’s really about you and beliefs that were formed when you were too young to know what was really going on. Battling with whoever’s out there now, you don’t seem to get that whatever they aren’t willing to give you is something you never had to begin with. What you couldn’t get from mom and dad can’t be milked out of your current situation. In the end, the sense of safety and certainty you’re looking for can only be found within yourself.

GEMINI: Concerns about someone close have you wondering if you had anything to do with their pain. If you think this is your fault you’re crazy. Everyone has their own row to hoe and how they interpret their life experience is totally up to them. Whoever’s coming unglued has yet to see that they either expect too much or their expectations are irrelevant to the times we’re in. You can hold their hand and walk them through this but there is absolutely nothing you can do to alter the way they deal with it. Sometimes you have to sit back and let people learn their lessons.

CANCER: You’re running on faith that someone will be able to come through for you. If they do it’ll be because they care. On other levels it’ll be because they’re getting something out of this, too. What you need to remember is not to lose yourself in whatever their needs are. Both of you are making this investment. It doesn’t matter if it’s a project or a relationship. What you bring to the situation will reflect the extent to which you really care about it. What others decide to bring to it is uncertain; things will work out if both of you are conscious enough to give it your all.

LEO: Too many cooks make it imperative that you step out of the kitchen. None of this will take off with so many agendas operating at cross purposes. You may not like not having a say in how things go but it’s stupid to keep talking when no one’s listening. You’ll stand a better chance of getting your point across if you disengage and become conspicuous in your absence. Without your input others will come to the right conclusion of their own accord. If you don’t get credit for solving the problem you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing what really happened here.

VIRGO: With so much going on staying centered would seem difficult. Of late, you’ve had an easier time with multiple demands and emotional issues that make it all that much more intense. The last straw got reached a while back and it enlightened you to the fact that a sense of humor would greatly facilitate your ability to see what’s going on. You’ve come to the conclusion that it’s all subject to change and there’s no need to worry about where things stand from one day to the next. Congratulations, my friend; you finally figured out how not to sweat the small stuff.

LIBRA: What you can no longer blame on others has to be seen in a different light. The habit of never being able to own up to the part you play in bringing things on has been a source of infinite difficulty. It has occurred to you that maybe something you did, or said, or projected unintentionally made it possible for others to take you for a ride in every situation where things didn’t go your way. This revelation could change everything. It’s quite possible that you will never let yourself wind up whining about who did what to who ever again.

SCORPIO: You can’t let yourself go crazy wondering what people are going to do next. You act like you’re in high school, for Pete’s sake. Playing cat-and-mouse games, or planning strategies that you hope will entice others to do your bidding won’t work to attract whatever you’re trying to manifest. A little honesty and some straightforward conversation is what’s needed here. But before you can do that you’ll need to get real about what you really want out of this. It isn’t what you think. Pull yourself together and get to the bottom of your true reason for being here.

SAGITTARIUS: You keep trying to gloss over what seems unpleasant. If this is working for you don’t expect it to do the trick too much longer. The end result of seeing what you want to see is always disillusionment and you’re barreling toward it half asleep. I would expect to see someone rising up and speaking for themselves about things that you don’t want to hear. Any reluctance to listen won’t change the fact that they are no longer under your control. Opening your eyes will involve giving up on the idea that you have the right to decide who they can be.

CAPRICORN: High maintenance people are screaming for attention at a time when you’ve got no energy for it. This most recent tantrum is nothing new but it looks like you’re going to have to stop the train just to handle it. It’s too bad you’re too deeply involved with this baby to tell them to grow up. I have a feeling you’re going to have to rearrange your schedule and make a lot of adjustments just to calm them down. Don’t waste too much time on it. It’s crazy to make this much space for someone who won’t meet you halfway and who never seems to change.

AQUARIUS: You aren’t ready to drop this but you’ve just about had it. Hanging on to someone or something because you think it might yield results on down the road rarely pans out. You’ve done your homework and seem to be ready to take things to the next level but you’re dealing with a situation that isn’t developed enough to match your expectations. Elements of narcissism are infecting things, too. Someone’s sensitivity is so heavily focused on themselves, they have no clue how to redirect their feelings toward you because at rock bottom, it’s all about them.

PISCES: Pushing your luck always comes at a time when it’s running out. You haven’t got any more tricks up your sleeve and you’re at a point where you’ve got nothing to lose. In a way, there’s something liberating about all of this because it’s given you the freedom to try anything. It’s also helped you to see that there’s always a way out. Keep the faith. At times when very little seems to exist within the realm of possibility, an opening occurs that allows other factors to enter in and serve as the saving grace or the solution to things that didn’t seem to have an answer.  | RDW
