ARIES: You wish you could find a way to make this more interesting but you’re fresh out of ideas. Life has settled into a pattern that’s beginning to get old and you’re just waking up to the fact that you’re either not into it, or the whole thing needs a makeover. This is always the way it goes. What no one ever tells us is that the perfect plan winds up being boring as hell. After all the effort you put into trying to do it right, here you sit wondering what the joke is. The joke is on us, my friend. Hopefully it’s not too late for you to begin living life on your own unique terms.

TAURUS: There’s a fine line between lying and not telling the whole truth. What you keep to yourself could fill a book. If you’ve got something to hide that’s your business, but once it starts affecting others you’ve got a problem. False impressions, white lies and complex scenarios that would seem to require a team of psychiatrists could get out of control if you don’t start filtering out some of the BS. Stop imagining the worst and get some of this off your chest. It will be easier on you if you let some of what you’re thinking and feeling find its way to the surface.

GEMINI: You’re getting paranoid about something that has nothing to do with what’s actually going on. Where did you get the idea that you’ve got anything to worry about? Rumors and assumptions have a way of contorting our thinking. And there are times when problems in the financial arena distort our perceptions enough to make everything look as if the glass is half empty. It might be time to look at how everything you imagine comes true and begin to realize that it would be just as easy to imagine something that isn’t colored by fear and lack.

CANCER: You’ve been making up for lost time or trying to make up for what you did or didn’t do. The decision to clean up the past begins as a simple and straightforward thing; until it meets up with the people and issues that it concerns. How others respond to our desire to make things right is rarely what we expect. You’re about to find out about the other side of the story. If it shocks you to hear the awful truth about how your choices have affected others consider it part of the deal and don’t be surprised if people resist your efforts to make amends for the past.

LEO: You aren’t so sure about anything anymore. What was once 100 percent clear seems to have lost its meaning, and you’re not sure what you want to replace it with. The business of being in limbo is hard until you realize that it’s a natural thing. Don’t get too involved cracking the whip or trying to be productive at a time when your spirit has no sense of what its purpose is. No one ever told us that it’s OK to not know what’s going on. Your confusion would be easier to deal with if you understood that every new development comes to life in the waters of chaos.

VIRGO: You can’t believe what’s gone down in the last few months. Whoever you gave too much rope to has gone all the way over the edge with it. The desire to call them on their transgressions battles with a greater need not to stoop to their level. If your friends are advising you to go for the throat think twice about how much time and energy that will involve. Part of you knows that the fates will handle this; if you’re right about that I have no doubt that sooner or later whoever’s done you wrong will have to live with the consequences of their own actions.

LIBRA: No one knew how far this situation would go. You can’t blame others for what they didn’t fully understand. As much as it looks like this has nothing to do with you, there’s no way around it; you’re here, too. Rewinding back to the point where you made the decision to jump in no matter what the cost will do a lot to show you who got the ball rolling; what if you had said "no" instead of "yes?" You can’t change the past, but once you learn to live with it the present reshapes itself and it gives you the freedom to realize that it’s just what it took to get you here.

SCORPIO: You have been chasing the same illusion far too long. It seems a bit strange, given the fact that there’s no clear evidence that this dream of yours even exists. On one level you deserve a lot of respect for believing so strongly in it; but what isn’t there can’t be ignored. Instead of trying so hard to make this real, why don’t you take a look at what your experience is teaching you. It’s always the case that everything we search for is right in front of us. If you haven’t already, eventually you’ll begin to see that your happiness depends on loving what is.

SAGITTARIUS: Things weren’t supposed to turn out this way but here you are; and what doesn’t make sense took a long time to develop. At this point, things are too far along for you to have the luxury of wondering what the hell happened. When you finally find the time to sit down and look at it you will see that you set yourself up, big time. Depending on who you are this could mean one thing or another. Some of you are living high off the hog. Others could be down in the dumps trying to figure out why bad things always seem to happen to good people.

CAPRICORN: The issues in your mundane reality have overtaken any sense that there’s any meaning and purpose to your life. Not knowing what you’re here for has a lot to do with the fact that others and their needs/interests consume way too much of your time. Weeding out what isn’t your stuff would go a long way to giving you more space to reconnect with the things that really get you going. While I understand your need to keep up with your sense of duty and responsibility, I can’t figure out why you let that take precedence over your own fulfillment.

AQUARIUS: There’s no way you’re going to change anyone’s mind, so give it up. Their way of thinking and feeling took years to develop and it’s based on the sum total of their experience. If you disagree with them, making them wrong won’t lead either one of you to a deeper understanding. Ultimately you both want the same thing, but your ways of approaching it are totally different. Instead of dwelling on the gap that separates you it might be better to lighten up enough to see that all either one of you wants out of this is what’s best for everyone.

PISCES: Wowie, zowie! You’ve got a lot of stuff going on. Between the full impact of major changes and a honey of a soap opera you can’t figure out how you got to be the one to have this experience. Riding it out will require you to drop all the BS and come up with a whole new definition for yourself. Not being who everyone thought you were feels uncomfortable only until you realize that even you didn’t know who that person was. And you gotta laugh because if it wasn’t for this recent series of disasters you wouldn’t have a clue about that or anything else.  | RDW
