ARIES: You have to continue to hold steady in the midst of a tremendous amount of stress. Bailing out may be an option but consider it well before you close things down. Underneath it all there’s a lesson in this. What you have to ask yourself is; what was going on 3 years ago? It has a lot of bearing on what’s happening right now. Your choices back then had a motive that was either clean, or it wasn’t. The upshot of time and the dictates of Karma suggest that your current dilemma would be easier to sort out if you didn’t try to pile one mistake on top of another.

TAURUS: 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 an even harder lesson.

GEMINI: To find the light in any conflicting situations, you have to weigh the importance on a relative scale. Most of what we find difficult is that way because we dwell on that aspect of it. Everything in life has its hard side. You may be overwhelmed by things that are not under your control but you can’t let yourself lose faith in the possibility that there’s a reason for it. This is just a matter of getting the lesson. You understand the power of joy. It would be just as easy to get joyful at the thought that underneath all this madness the seeds of your future are growing.

CANCER: You figured out how to keep things from boiling over. Thank God. This would have gotten crazy if you didn’t step in and play mediator. Good advice is rarely taken but this is a case where your wisdom made a dent. The upshot of it all is that others have agreed to disagree. Once in a while things settle up in a way that allows everyone to get what they need from it. It’s too bad you don’t get paid for this. Which brings up another thing; you’ve got to find a way to take what you’re good at and parlay it into something that works as well for you as it does for others.

LEO: Things couldn’t be better. You did the right thing, made the right choice, or are now on a path to something different. If you were wondering whether or not your judgment was clear, something worked out in a way that has made everything easier, all the way around. Now that you know it’s safe to go ahead, part of you is wondering what you were thinking. It’s always this way when we get what we want. Don’t question the validity of things that are here because you asked for it. You can do this. It’s just a matter of stepping into a bigger pair of shoes.

VIRGO: A narrow escape from an old pattern, situation, or rival has shown you how stupid it is to hold on to things that are totally over. Something just woke up and let it go in a way that will allow it to heal, instead of creating more heartache, chaos, or animosity. You can’t even figure out how it happened, because this thing has been bugging you for a long time. Like so many of us, it seems to me that you’re beaming up to something better. You’re beginning to see that nothing good comes from taking the low road, no matter how much life tempts us to go there.

LIBRA: What an amazing time. You snapped out of it long enough to see that it definitely is, as good as it looks. Not having any experience with this much perfection, you’re a little confused as to what to do next. That’s OK. There isn’t any template for things like this. Underneath all of the stuff that is totally blowing your mind, you have yet to accept the fact that life will never look normal again. Surrender to this and feel safe knowing that you’re being called to start living your dream instead of searching for it. Get with the program. Open your heart and get into it.

SCORPIO:  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.

SAGITTARIUS: 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 this will go.

CAPRICORN: Patterns that have less to do with this life than they do with others are raking you through an experience that is almost surreal. If you feel like you’re in the Twilight Zone it’s because you’re paying off a big chunk of dues all at once. The changes that are making you wonder why everything’s coming down with no let up are happening to get you off your butt and on with your life. If most people shirk responsibility, you have a tendency to use it as an excuse to avoid the inevitable. Dropping out for a while would help you clarify your perspective.

AQUARIUS: You’re off on a weird little adventure that could be more of a detour. Too much has changed and you’ve had so little backup, you’ve decided to get out of Dodge in order to figure out what to do next. It almost doesn’t matter at this point. Whatever you’ve got going on your biggest hang up isn’t what you think it is. Before you get sick of your escape from harsher realities you’ll have to find out the hard way that there are certain things you can’t run away from. Enjoy this side trip but in the end you’ll have to come back and deal with yourself.

PISCES: Once you get out of the box it’s easier to imagine how far you could go. What you thought would shake everything down has opened up new and bigger possibilities. With nothing to keep you from moving forward you are feeling even more of a desire to finally release everything that weighs you down. If you thought your life wasn’t going to change you’re beginning to see that none of this would have come about if you were still locked into the game you were playing before. Kiss it goodbye. Don’t let anything pull you back into it.  | RDW
