ARIES: You don’t need to be told what’s going on here. And while you’d love to be one of those people who doesn’t get upset about things, this situation would make anyone nuts. Half in it and half out of it, you haven’t made up your mind if it’s safe to just walk away. Who were you before you got wrapped up in the insanity that you’re living with now? Somehow or other the bigger part of you got traded in for something that mattered more than you did. And the reason all of this is so messed up is because you got tricked into thinking you couldn’t be yourself.

TAURUS: It’s great having a selective memory; you can forget about things that other people would probably lose sleep over. The long-term effects of seeing what you want to see are about to catch up with you. As hard as it may be to come to terms with the truth, at this point your denial system will no longer defend you from it. You’re at a place where the gut level stuff couldn’t be any more obvious. You’re half aware but not completely awake to the idea that to not look at it now will not only make you look like a fool, it’ll keep you from growing beyond it.

GEMINI: Stop thinking about what other people will do. It’s not your job to figure out what that involves — not anymore. Your codependency trips are so far over-the-top, you’re still running on the idea that you’ve got to take care of someone who isn’t even there anymore. What they do about themselves is no longer your business. And while it may be hard to break the habit, the more you start to take care of yourself the more you’ll see how others might benefit from doing the same. If you feel obligated to keep supporting their weaknesses neither one of you will grow.

CANCER: It would be easier to reinvent yourself if you could lose the notion that you’ve got to keep this going. Too many things have changed for any of us to think that our best-laid plans might even come up for review. What seemed like a good idea about six years ago doesn’t make as much sense now as it did then. And no matter what they tell you, we’ll never go back to the good old days. At this point you could change your direction without incurring too many penalties — but if you wait too long any attempt to break out will meet with resistance.

LEO: You have seen enough to make it clear that someone is giving you the runaround. No friend or psychic can tell you what needs to happen here. The tendency to fall for people who come with too much baggage has you in a bind, once again — and your need to take it on has you living with the consequences of your inability to see things for what they are. Now that you’re vaguely aware of how much you’ve been duped you’ve got to find a way out of this. To postpone or second-guess that possibility would be like choosing to sink instead of swim.

VIRGO: Delays are always part of the deal in situations like this. Usually, what appears to hold us up is there to protect us from something that was conceived prematurely. Nothing’s going to stop this process, so don’t let yourself be misguided into thinking that it wasn’t meant to be. Other things need to open up before you’ll know how far you want to go with this. As you wait for them to flower, don’t try to force your will on changes that are about to take you out of a situation that you’ve been entrenched in your whole life! Anyone can tell you this will take time.

LIBRA: Coming into your own will involve a lot of teaching or studying. After a long period of feeling closed off you are realizing that it’s time to open your mind. Stale thoughts and too much focus on who you’ve been up 'til now aren’t doing anything to improve your life. At this point you’re ready for anything and your mind is on fire with ideas that will ultimately serve to pull you out of this rut. New connections will come in the form of some pretty unusual people. All kinds of signs are telling you that it’s time to break out and let yourself be who you want to be.

SCORPIO: You feel totally unprepared for this and you aren’t in the mood to deal with it. Life has been crazy enough; now, all of a sudden, you’re looking at changes you never thought you’d have to make. It isn’t as bad as it looks. And because there’s no way to escape, why don’t you just grow up and take one thing at a time? The last thing you need to do is put off what needs to be dealt with. As you clear up one mess, the others will start to look a little easier to handle. Any changes that need to be made will go smoother if you pull your life together now instead of later.

SAGITTARIUS: You don’t know how to say no to this. It looks too good to be true, and part of you is wondering what will happen if you say yes and wind up with problems down the line. If you’re doing this for money, forget about it. It won’t work unless you’re doing it for love, or because it’s the right thing to do. I would take a chance and let someone else fall for this. From where I sit, it looks like you’re about to buy into something that looks better than it is. If you doubt my word, ask someone you trust to tell you the honest truth about what to do about this.

CAPRICORN: You won’t be able to stop for a while. Fortunately, you’ve got all kinds of planetary support. This is one of those times when discipline will come easier than usual. As you work your butt off, keep in mind that there has to be a purpose to it all. You may not be aware of it yet but what’s kept you on the treadmill is about to turn off the machine; and the things that you both want and need to do for yourself will be easier to find time for. In the meantime, don’t think too much about existential things. Keep your mind on the present and the task at hand.

AQUARIUS: Now that you’ve been freed up your mind is clear and you’re feeling like a human being for the first time in a long time. This is your reward for whatever it took to get here. Don’t try to turn your freedom into a project. It would be insane to structure your life when your spirit is in the process of learning how to just be with whatever is. You’re "outside the lines." There’s no need to get busy and there’s no pressure. For once in your life stop trying to figure out how to be constructive and sit back and do nothing. It would be inappropriate to do anything else.

PISCES: You’re feeling a little shaky about things. Torn between what you want to do and what you think you ought to do you don’t know if you’re coming or going. If this wasn’t such a big deal it wouldn’t matter, but you’re making a major transition — and what’s held you steady in the past is firm and secure but it just won’t support the person you need to become. You’re surer about who you will be than you are about who you were, but you still aren’t ready to trade the bird in your hand for the two in the bush because you can’t find the strength to trust yourself.  | RDW
