ARIES: You need to think about moving. Too many things suggest that you’re in dire need of a change of scenery. As the next few months unfold, the sense that you can’t get anything to work will call you to ask yourself: "What’s wrong with this picture?" Whatever you’re hanging on to may not be worth the price you have to pay to keep it. And the dreams that brought you to this place may be totally irrelevant at this point in time. Reassess everything. Sometimes uprooting yourself is less of a hassle than sitting around having to watch all of your dreams unravel.

TAURUS: You’d be upset about this if it wasn’t making it so easy for you to enjoy yourself. Others seem to be preoccupied with their Karma — either that or they’re all wound up with things that are too mundane for you to want to be involved. With all this free time you have a chance to explore things that you haven’t had time for. If this leads you to a deeper sense of who you are, by the time you rejoin the party you’ll have more to bring to it than you do now. Don’t feel too guilty about having the freedom to do as you please; see it as a gift and make the most of it.

GEMINI: The next few months will see you growing toward a fuller experience of love. This will not exclude those of you who happen to be single; there are many types of love — and some of you may find yourselves bonding as deeply in friendship and kinship, not just with people but with life itself. Part of this may involve making peace with those who have kept their distance up till now. Making amends, or getting to the point where you see that it isn’t worth it to keep holding on to the hurts of the past, will go a long way to opening your heart to the beauty of life.

CANCER: The question is always about how far we’re willing to go. You aren’t as sure about this as you would like to be. As much as part of you wants to dive right in and have the experience, you’re having second thoughts about putting yourself through the ringer. Not knowing what you’ll miss if you decide to let this go, you’re wondering if going to extremes is the only way to find out what you need to know. For the time being it might be best to wait and see. All the facts aren’t in and if this is worth the risk it’ll keep until you’re clear about it.

LEO: The next time you decide to let someone into your life make sure you know what they want from you. Giving people too much trust is worse than not trusting them at all. If you’re dealing with someone whose agenda turned out to be a little more complicated than you thought it would be, you need to set them straight before you continue. In the guise of being totally open and receptive, they have led you to believe that they are a dream come true when in fact their motives seem to be more about getting whatever they can from anyone who will give it to them.

VIRGO: Changes in latitude always bring a new perspective on life. If you can get away for a while, do it; your attitude could use a face-lift. Too much time in the salt mines has kept you out of touch with yourself — so much so that you don’t even know who you are anymore. Stretched by too many demands, your spirit has earned a little time and enough freedom to take off and assimilate some of the things that have gone down in the last two years. Hop on a plane. Get lost for a day if that’s the best you can do. It’s time to open yourself up to adventure.

LIBRA: The story gets more interesting by the day. You can’t figure out where you’ve been all your life because recent developments have taken you further into your wildest dreams. If things are hopping it’s because everything is getting redefined and rearranged. Levels of intensity have sparked up your love life in unexpected ways. All of your pictures of how things are supposed to be are in the process of getting re-framed. Don’t think too much about what it all means. You’re going to have to grow into this before you’ll be big enough to contain the experience.

SCORPIO: You can’t deny the need for change. This has been staring you in the face for quite some time. Now that you see that you have no other choice you’re in doubt about your ability to handle this. Don’t get weird about whatever life is calling you to do; and don’t assume that change means throwing the baby out with the bath water. There are ways to get things to turn around without losing the better part of what you’ve created. Before you can move forward you may have to take two steps back in order to clear the path toward something new and different.

SAGITTARIUS: In your efforts to pull your life together the impulse to mimic whatever "normal" seems to be could get in the way of your fulfillment. You’ve been down so long, making things look neat and tidy on the surface is your answer to whatever didn’t go right. I hate to inform you but this isn’t you. And whoever you’ve roped into going along with the plan won’t be too happy about it when they find out that you’re not who they take you to be. Don’t go off the deep end with this masquerade. The happy medium lies somewhere in the middle.

CAPRICORN: The whiplash of too many changes hasn’t given you a whole lot of time to think about anything but coping. Deeper questions are on hold and you’ve decided that it isn’t time to look at what was going on before the shit hit the fan. Those issues are still very much an item. And you’re beginning to see that the complexities that have arisen to interfere with your progress are a direct result of your inability to deal with the truth. What you postponed could have saved you from all this craziness. There’s a lesson here; hopefully it’ll teach you to deal with yourself.

AQUARIUS: You can’t force this. It may break your heart to watch people make life harder than it has to be but you didn’t come here to do their life, and you can’t force them to see anything the way you see it. In the best of all possible worlds they might learn from your example, but that presupposes that they’re actually paying attention. You’re dealing with a self absorbed, deeply wounded soul who can’t look anything in the eye. Don’t hold your breath when it comes to expecting them to get the message. They may not be able to hear it coming from you.

PISCES: Maybe you’re totally nuts to consider leaving everything behind but part of you is ready to go. After all this time you realize that there’s nothing to hold you here. If it seems outrageous to see that the sum total of everything you thought you were added up to nothing you’re probably wondering if anything matters. When you get down to life’s deeper questions there’s really nothing going on here. That being the case, it would seem as if anything you do is OK. Don’t give yourself such a hard time for finally having the guts to follow your bliss.  | RDW
