TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

You need to hold on to this situation just long enough to get whatever it is that you came for. The idea that you have better things to do has you wishing you could get on with the show. As much as that makes the most sense, there are things that need to be finished up before you will be ready for whatever's next. I have a feeling that an old friend or lover is on your mind. They will be showing up, in the spirit or in the flesh to either remind you of the past, or confirm or deny your feelings. This is a huge turning point for you. Stay cool, and don't let anyone drag you down.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

Who could have foreseen this? So much has changed in the last 7 years. You've got a lot of people on your side and more faith than you've had in a long time. If the future is on a fast track, don't let it run away with you. Your biggest pitfall right now is the idea that you can run all over the place with multitudinous plans and schemes and get them all to work like a charm. I'm not sure you'll listen to me but let me say that you're so busy hatching one thing after another, you will have Hell to pay if you can't begin to see some of it as a total and complete waste of time.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

The weight of responsibility is battling with the need for something out of the ordinary. 90% of the time, this is what all of us are looking at. For some reason you've got the idea that you've got to discipline yourself to take care of business if you want to get somewhere. That only becomes true when we love what we are doing. The need to break out will feel more or less acute; it all depends on your ability to turn what you've got into what you want. Look around; ask yourself if you can find a way to put your heart into this. If that's too much to ask, it may be time to get out.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

On the one hand this is a huge growth period for you; on the other hand, it sure doesn't feel that way. You're not going to have any perspective on this stretch of your life for another 3 or 4 years. Until then, the only thing you need to keep in mind is this: you are a channel for light. Your emblem is the Sun. Always and in everything you are here to be an instrument for the light. Whatever you do, it's time to keep the focus on that and allow yourself to be open and clear enough to let it shine through in everything that you do. Keep that in mind. Let it strengthen you.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

Adjusting to change has many of you flipping out. If it isn't change it's just an abundance of stuff going on that makes it hard to stay connected to what you really want out of this. If there was ever a time for you to put down the reins and let go of the need to manage and control everything, it's now. Your signals are crossed to the point where you can't get clear, or be objective to anything. For the next few weeks you would be better off laying low enough to get in touch with the fact that it's not what you're doing; it's your relationship to it that counts.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

You can't expect other people to stop playing games when it's all they know how to do. Waiting around for anyone to wake up doesn't make sense. After all this time, you'd think that it would be easier to tell the truth about what's going on, but you seem to be afraid of what will happen if you do. At this point things could use a kick in the butt so it won't hurt to bring up subjects that aren't half as sore as the one no one's ready to discuss. Underneath it all there's enough love in this situation to keep it real, but before that can happen you've got to be able to tell the truth.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

There is a tremendous amount of energy at your disposal. The sense that everything is about to come together has you wondering when it will. Keep reminding yourself that everything depends on your ability to remain authentic in all of your dealings with people. Others are patiently waiting for you to begin to trust the messages that come to you from within. At the moment, life demands a deeper kind of knowing than the kind that you can get from the mental realm. If you're unclear about what to do next, try closing your eyes and listening to your heart.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You are better at biting off more than you can chew than anyone I know; how does it feel to be overwhelmed and under the gun? If anything, it's time to call a halt to whatever it is that has gone over the top. Reassessing recent decisions will come with a need to dig a little deeper into your psyche, enough to get to the bottom of what brought all of this on. Believe it or not it's got nothing to do with what's been playing out on the surface. This story goes all the way back to day one, and to things that have always made you feel like everything depends on you.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

It's hard to know how to cope when you're feeling like there's nothing left of you. If the pressure has been a little more intense than usual, it could be that you've reached your limit. As far as other people go, a week of privacy and a little time to regroup sounds like a good idea. If you can't make that happen, at least you know that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and you're the only sign in the Zodiac that can cope with this much stress! The ones who know you best will know what to do; call them the minute you're ready to get into a more livable groove.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

The mechanics of living are going to take up much of what happens in the next few weeks. If you've got deeper stuff to contend with, it's going to have to wait. Other things will most likely get completely written off or cancelled because you have no time. Issues that relate to your career, and any decisions that need to be made about your agreements with people will show others that you are in no mood to be taken for granted. It will be one more month before you can slow down enough to come back to yourself. Hold steady; it's about all you can do right now.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

The company we keep and the ways in which our friends and associates feed us or bleed us is a big theme for many of you right now. It's hard to know whether to keep hanging in there for people or whether it's better to break things off. Decisions like this were never your strong suit. The one that's currently pending is riddled with emotional overtones that make it hard to see straight. There is no right or wrong way to handle this, but one thing's for sure; it never works to sacrifice yourself for love, and you can't allow yourself to be diminished by the company you keep.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

Famous for being the one who can handle anything, you're having a hard time finding the energy for this. It would be easier if you could think, but, the rate of change is beyond the beyond, and your mind isn't built to focus on more than one thing at a time. The trick to getting through this stretch involves navigating the switchbacks and the hair-pin turns that require more than the usual amount of attention. If you're smart, and if your ego doesn't mess you up, you will be able to ride through this gauntlet of change, and come out on the other side with a whole new life.
