AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

You're at a high water mark, under a tremendous amount of pressure, and wondering if anything is what it's cracked up to be. Questions about your 'position' have gotten deep enough to make you wish making your mark didn't involve so much compromise. Step back far enough to look at what your position requires of you and ask yourself if you're willing to suck it up and keep going. In the face of multiple forms of hypocrisy there will be choices to make – and you will have to find a way to achieve your goals and remain true to yourself every step of the way.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

All of a sudden what was simple and clear has gotten a little complicated; not that this is a bad thing – you are in dire need of a change. Your questions of what to do relate to whether or not you're ready for more than you thought you'd have to deal with. If this is about love, be honest with yourself and don't commit to anything that you can't live with; there's plenty of room to do this on your own terms. If it's your financial situation that's got you feeling uneasy, try to remember that fear and worry beget loss and do whatever it takes to make yourself happy.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

You're going full bore wondering where all this energy is coming from. The whirling dervish is spinning right in time with changes that are about to take you wherever you want to go. If you have any questions, they have to do with not knowing how far you can stretch before you turn into a supernova. Nothing matters more than your dreams. Don't limit yourself and don't settle for anything less than pure bliss. It sounds crazy, I know, but the time is now for all of you to get out from under your stuff and step out far enough to show the world who you really are.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

You're growing by leaps and bounds. The only thing holding you back is the fear about making ends meet. All of us get tangled up in our money trips. Your problem has to do with being stuck in the belief that abundance has anything to do with what's in the bank. You know as well as I do that it is born out of joy. Don't let any of your choices be overruled by the fear that you can't afford it. Right now, the only thing you can't afford is anything that impedes the pursuit of your bliss. Give yourself the freedom to follow it and trust that all of your needs will be met.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

You keep trying to prove something. We could talk about the story behind it but this is less about the story than it is about the fact that somehow or other you don't believe it yourself. When we know who we are, we don't need to prove anything. It does no good to keep trying to make the point because every time you do you dishonor yourself. Stopping the madness will require you to see that no matter how you showcase your need for approval, whatever you're trying to prove is the cause of all your problems. Give it up. The minute you do, others will stop expecting you to.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

You can't figure out what's going on because you're in uncharted waters. Trying to get your bearings in a situation that has no precedent is a simple matter of remaining totally in the moment. You have to feel your way through this and trust yourself enough to know that the mistakes of the past have taught you everything you need to know about how to get through it. No one tells us that when we fall in love, once we get past a certain point, there is no map to the territory. This is where you are. Trust your experience and let your instincts be your guide.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

There is so much going on in your relationship area, it's hard to know what to make of it. Karmic ties have brought you into involvements that are pretty complex. On the one hand you have so much in common, and there is enough love there to make it feel right. On the other hand, control issues and passive- aggressive behaviors make it obvious that things are a little messed up. Before you can do this consciously, the two of you need to sit down and get honest about what you're doing here. Something is out of whack and there will be trouble in paradise until it gets fixed.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

The way things are going, it seems as if you're ready to start doing your own thing. You have any number of reasons for feeling this way. For some of you, it's about knowing that it's time to split – for others, it's about knowing that you want to get on with your search for whatever it is that your purpose involves. This could mean having to be in two places at once, or juggling twice as much as you're juggling now. The next few months will be busy with changes that will require a lot – but because this is what you truly want to be doing, you are raring to go.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

You're under a lot of pressure; issues with authority figures who remind you a lot of your dad are making you feel even more stressed out. When nothing flows it makes absolutely no sense to stiffen up and try to keep it all under control. You're in a situation that requires you to be cool enough to move freely, and smart enough to figure out that whoever's putting the pressure on is less intelligent than you are. Pull yourself together and do your best to play this game without losing yourself to the idea that winning it will require you to give all your power away.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

With high hopes and all of the best intentions you've waltzed right into a hornet's nest of responses that you were totally unprepared for. It's always amazing to watch what happens when people decide to tell the truth. As much as you thought your little confession would clear things right up, all it did was toss a hand grenade into the lives of those who have as much, or more, invested in this than you do. No matter how you slice it, you are now confronted with your own misgivings, feeling vulnerable, and wondering how this emotional 52 pick-up will play out.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You've got an axe to grind with people who owe you something. For one reason or another, you're pissed about the fact that they took no notice of all the time and energy you've put into this; and now you're trying to get paid back. Instead of waiting for Hell to freeze over, why not just drop the whole thing and be wise enough to know that it all comes back, one way or another? The process of give and take is rarely cut and dried – and 90% of the time it involves so much more than meets the eye. Who knows? If this is a past life thing it may be time to call it even.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

This could be the calm before the storm. For many of you, it's a time of rest and retreat into a few weeks of strength-gathering. Do everything in your power to enjoy the things that restore your soul; suck up as much nature as you can. A little peace is what you need, because life is due to intensify and you're going to be back in the saddle before you know it. The next round of business will pose challenges that will require you to be more centered and clear than you've ever had to be in your life. Take a deep breath and imagine that you're big enough to handle it. | RDW
