ARIES: You used to be open to taking off but you’re not as adventurous these days. It’s too bad, because a total change of scenery would show you so much about why you’ve lost touch with yourself. In attempting to stabilize ourselves we run a grave risk of allowing life to crystallize into patterns that keep us from growing. You may be proud of yourself for what you’ve established, but after a while those things become a prison in which we carve out a false identity. Don’t chain yourself to this job, this place or the need to believe that taming yourself = success.

TAURUS: You’ve got another thing coming if you think you can get away with this. Others may not be too happy about it, and you may not be allowed to go forward until you find a way to do it for the right reasons. As it is, there’s too much regret, anger or bitterness affecting your choices. Nothing good comes out of things that are done to retaliate. We get even less mileage out of choices that are based on the ego’s need to feel important. Before you think any further about where your next project is headed you’ll need to do a good amount of soul searching.

GEMINI: Sometimes it’s best not to intervene. In this situation someone expects you to step in; as much as they’re counting on it they also need to figure this out for themselves. Not saying anything can be more powerful than words. Let them think this is their decision; and while you’re at it, get a life. Having your mind on other people and their affairs keeps you out of touch with yourself. The trick to really being able to help people involves staying true to our own lessons and embodying our own potential enough to give others a good reason to embody theirs.

CANCER: You go from going out of your way for people to being unwilling to do the slightest thing to please them. A sense of paranoia has your trust level totally out of commission. Some days you do and some days you don’t. If that’s the way it’s going you might want to ask yourself why it is that you can’t be 100 percent there for this. These things are always about us, so take a look in the mirror and think about what you’re here for. Your plans and motives could be based on things that have nothing to do with what is ultimately in the best interests of your higher self.

LEO: This would be easier if you didn’t make it so hard. The same goes for your friendships. You will begin to attract people who are good for you when you decide that you no longer wish to attract people who aren’t. What we don’t want in our lives disappears the minute we look at what’s going on and decide where we stand with it. Don’t sit around whining about how hard things are. Getting off on being a martyr is your choice. And when it comes to love and friendship, taking off your hair shirt would go a long way toward making people come closer.

VIRGO: Just when you thought things were going to slow down they’re speeding up again. You aren’t sure you’re ready for more, but you see that you can’t stop the momentum and you sense that there has to be a reason why all of this is up to you. You have good reasons to want to step out of the picture and focus on your own affairs; it’s been too much for too long and part of you is totally exhausted. The universe seems to be expecting you to carry on with the same level of integrity no matter what. If your second wind is anywhere in sight, breathe deep and take it now.

LIBRA: What seemed like the answer to all of your prayers just blew up in your face. The shock was one of those necessary things that happened just to get you out of Fairy Land into a more realistic sense of what’s really going on. What you aren’t too happy with looks like more truth than you could handle. Learn to live with it. And if you can find a way to translate it into something you can take total responsibility for, you will see that this is just the way it is. What came in the form of betrayal is in fact an opportunity for you to go deeper into love.

SCORPIO: You have mixed feelings about how things have turned out. If you’re totally honest, you have to say that you messed this up about nine months ago and you haven’t been the same since. It’s too bad you’re so stubborn. Something happened that made you feel like you have to be right about whatever went down and your unwillingness to admit that you made a mistake has been the source of all of your anguish. To insist that it’s someone else’s fault, or to continue to remain in denial about the part you played in creating your own problems, won’t solve this.

SAGITTARIUS: Too many issues call you to have to mind your P’s and Q’s. For someone who likes to have everything out in the open this is a total pain in the butt. You can’t say certain things in front of some people, and you can’t do certain things when you’re with others, and someone else expects you to only tell them what they want to hear. Between the endless half truths and everything that can’t be said, you are fed up with having to edit your behavior. The urge to blow a few minds and whistles is getting harder to ignore; it may be time to tell the truth.

CAPRICORN: You’re anxious about something that won’t even happen. If you could see around the corner you’d know that whatever you’re so worried about will be subject to some form of divine intervention. It’s quite possible that the whole thing will get called off. It could also be that things change to make all of it less of a hassle. Instead of getting all worked up over this, bring yourself back to a place of knowing that it’s not up to you to direct anything. You need to wake up and realize that what you’ve turned into a big deal is taking very good care of itself.

AQUARIUS: Money issues have made you forget that life has nothing to do with money. Your efforts to make ends meet have had you running between work and your creditors trying to figure it all out. Any meaning or fulfillment you get from it seems to be a moot point. You’re too young to be caught in this trap. To continue to believe that if you just work harder everything will be all right is a lie that puts you in the same category with millions of others who have applied that principle without seeing that in believing it they sentence themselves to death! Wake up!!

PISCES: You didn’t realize how much spilling the beans would affect people. If you’re wondering why everything’s nuts it’s because you opened the floodgates with your truth telling. When one thing changes, everything changes; that’s the way things go. If your confession was made from a place of wanting to make things right, what you didn’t take into account is that now everyone involved has to rearrange their thoughts and feelings to accommodate it. The fur is flying because you made it mandatory for everyone to come clean. No wonder they’re upset!  | RDW
