ARIES: Too many people have taken you for a ride for you to think that this so-and-so isn’t up to the same thing. Your soft heart makes you gullible and your savior complex makes you want to dive in and rescue anyone who comes along with a good sob story. Between those two elements you wind up falling prey to one nut after another. Falling in love with someone’s potential is always risky business. What you see in your current piece of work is a far cry from who they really are. Get a grip, my dear. What looks like a dream come true is really just a nightmare in disguise.

TAURUS: You got yourself into this. You knew where it would go. This is what happens when you lead people on. Who knows what led to this lapse in integrity but I hope you’ve learned enough from the experience to see what it gets you. Outside of the mixed messages that keep screwing up your relationships, things are going well. You are so happy just doing your thing, other people and their stuff and the whole question of love, doesn’t even matter right now. Keep it like that for a while. You’re too busy rearranging your priorities to be clear about much else.

GEMINI: Here we go again. Extending yourself one more time isn’t a bad thing. You know well enough that you’re co-depending with someone who is at a very weak point and you have no choice but to say "yes." You will wind up having to live with things that really don’t appeal to you for as long as it takes for them to pull themselves together. As long as you understand that it will do no good to waste your energy trying to convert anyone, or fix things that have been going on for far too long, you’ll be able to test the limits of compassion without going nuts.

CANCER: You are laughing at yourself for wondering if this was the right idea; look at what you’ve created! With nothing but a good sense of intuition you’ve been able to remove yourself from a situation just in the nick of time. If you’d waited even a day longer you’d be stuck with something that you couldn’t get out of. Now that you’re free and clear, do you wonder what made you see the light? What we call "luck" is really just the ability to trust your inner voice 100 percent of the time. You’ve seen what can be done. Keep listening to that voice; it’s never wrong.

LEO: Don’t let the way things are going fool you for a moment. None of this is as bad or as good as it looks. You can’t trust your senses and you definitely can’t apply logic to this situation, so that leaves you without a whole lot of clarity. It would be better for you if you could find a way to cut through to whatever’s most meaningful and essential. I say this because you’re approaching a time when a lot of dead wood has to be removed from your life. In order to know what to keep and what to let go you have to get crystal clear about what really matters to you.

VIRGO: It’s anyone’s guess which way things will go from here. Needing to know what’ll happen is a handicap in situations like this. So much hangs on what others decide to do with themselves; and this is why your certainty trips are such an issue. Instead of wondering if someone else is going to change their mind, you’d do better to just keep yourself focused on what you’re doing here. You know as well as I do that everything is subject to change. Don’t think so much about making anything but your love for each other lasting and permanent.

LIBRA: How much will it take for you to see exactly what happened here? Don’t minimize it by saying it happens to the best of us; you’ve been through the mill. Somehow or other it’s your job to find your missing parts and reassemble them into something that looks more like the person you’ve become. You aren’t quite sure about anything and it feels strange to think that for so long you were so sure about life you had it all sewed up in a neat little package. Ever since the wrapper fell off it’s been one thing after another. Give yourself time to digest the lesson.

SCORPIO: This would be easier if there weren’t so many people to consider. Disparate interests are in conflict and you’re wondering if it’s even worth it to stick around and try to get your needs met. Between complex family issues and too many factions vying for a front seat you’re going to have a tough time making your point. If I were you I would hold off saying anything until someone asks you for advice or until they begin to notice that you’re the only one who seems to know what’s going on. Once things settle down making your influence felt won’t be a problem.

SAGITTARIUS: You can go ahead with this because there’s no way anyone’s going to talk you out of it; you might want to check in with yourself one more time before you do. Signs point to "no" but you’re more concerned about settling scores than you are with walking your talk. You know better than anyone that if there’s even an atom of mean-spiritedness underlying any of your choices, it all comes back to haunt you. As hard as it is to come clean about your true motivations, pretending that they’re something else will teach you a harder lesson.

CAPRICORN: You can’t stay in the background when life calls you to take charge of a situation. The subtle approach, or the belief that it’ll all go away if you let someone else handle it, isn’t going to work for you this time. The last thing you want to do is step out and be the grown-up, but you’re the only one who knows what’s going on and your conscience is screaming at you to deal with it. Anyone who accuses you of being bossy, and anyone who thinks you’re getting off on this should be reminded that no one knows more about how to get this to work than you do.

AQUARIUS: You know exactly what needs to happen but you’re not sure how to get it to work. It’s always good to sweep the floor before you start anything new, so settle up with whoever you haven’t dealt with and lay a clear foundation. The better part of getting anything done lies in the doing of it. Too much talk and too many plans delay things that evolve out of whatever the work at hand involves. Once you understand that your next project has a life of its own, you’ll be able to get out of the way and let the deeper part of yourself allow it to come into manifestation.

PISCES:  You may not like what’s going on but you can no longer escape the fact that it’s happening. Finding a way to get around various forms of emotional intensity, it’s easier to bury it in work, or exercise, or any other addiction than it is to check out what drives us to distraction. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you’re on top of the situation. Some things rattle us to the core because they’re meant to. If this calls you to reevaluate everything start looking at it now. The more willing you are to get over yourself the better things will go for everyone involved.  | RDW
