GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

Branching out used to be easy for you; at the moment it feels more like trying to balance a king-size mattress on the head of a pin. Never fear! In a month or so you will feel like you have more than enough of what it takes to handle it all. In the meantime it would be good if you could eliminate every ounce of unnecessary BS, just to allow yourself space and time to get everything done. Don't waste your energy and don't get caught up with anyone who sucks it up. You're on a major roll. You don't need to get involved with people who are only there to clip your wings.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

Many things are up in the air. All of it looks good, most of it is harmless, and it will all work out fine if you can just continue to adapt. The living situation couldn't be better, but guess what? It could change at the drop of a hat. As far as your love life goes, stay out of each other's hair and it will be easier to love each other through changeable times. Do away with your expectations and loosen the sense that anything has to be a certain way. If you can manage to do this, the next few months will settle into a pattern that looks like an even better version of your wildest dream.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

You have enough on your plate to make it look stressful but you don't seem to be having a problem with any of this. This is mind-blowing, considering the amount of patience and time it has taken to deal with one particular so-and-so. If you've gotten better at holding your temper, it's because practice makes perfect! Thank goodness you are no longer beholden to their petty machinations. The realization that it's your turn to make sure that everything goes the way it's supposed to is about to teach you a lot about what it means to have compassion for other people.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

Don't worry about whether or not this new thing is going to work out. It's never wise to second-guess the way things seem to be going. What's right in front of us is always what we need to be concerned with–what you're looking at right now is the idea that you want your work to have some of you circulating in with the equation. This business of sucking up to the man is getting old and you've got too many gifts to be playing games like this. Follow your heart and trust that whatever comes out of it is what it's going to take to support you for the rest of your life.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

The conservatism that often shows up to keep you guys from going for it is a big issue right now. The difference between what you have and what you want out of it has you wondering why you keep following the rules. It's hard to say exactly how this is playing out for you but underneath it all it's time to stop making believe that you're into this. Questions that have to do with whether or not someone else is going to come around are setting you up to play a waiting game at a time when you're beginning to realize that you've had it up to here with both them and their nonsense.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

It wouldn't hurt to slow things down. You have a tendency to keep striving. Sometimes it seems like you stretch it too far. And what's going on right now requires a gentler rhythm. Before too long you will see that the need to impress yourself on anything, along with the idea that your intentions take precedence over anyone else's, has to get whittled down to a clear and constant sense of what the greater good involves. Your private ambitions have their place and as you become better acquainted with your truer purpose it will be easier for you to keep them in it.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You have finally figured out that life goes better when you do one thing at a time. It's not as if you can't handle everything, but the 'all at once' routine only works when you're fully enlightened! Knowing enough to keep yourself on track has involved eliminating a lot of mindless social interaction. You don't have time for it; and you're noticing that you feel a hell of a lot better when you take care of yourself first. For the next few weeks, knowing this will serve you well and keep you from running to the rescue when the usual suspects need your help.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

Whatever's going on, it's more than enough, even for you. The need to juggle too many things at once requires a clear and centered approach. Nature is where you will find the strength to move through this period of time. In and around all the stuff and people that require your energy you need to be free to unwind. Within a month the pressure to perform and the sense of being boxed in by demands will be strong enough for you to wish there were three of you. Center yourself and give yourself whatever it takes to be the one who has to step up to the plate and do this.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

Wrapping things up seems to be a theme. You are leaving something behind and preparing to move on to the next thing. From the looks of it getting all your ducks in a row will be easy because you've got a lot of support from the planets. At the same time it would be wise to keep a clear eye on where you stand with the people in charge. There are times when we have to take them into consideration. At the moment most of them see you as 'the sweetheart of the rodeo'. Before you take off on this hiatus make sure that you are on excellent terms with all of them.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

You're in a situation that's going up and down. It's hard to tell where you're at with it. If the need to draw boundaries has become an issue it's because you don't have any! For now, you need to do whatever it takes to draw a line between where you stop and other people begin – because the tendency to lose yourself in a situation that has too much of someone else and their stuff in it doesn't leave much room for you. You've been around the barn enough times to know what this pattern is all about. Pull yourself together. This will work if you can reclaim yourself.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

Waking up is hard to do – but there's no way to avoid it when everything is telling you it's time. God knows what's happening with you guys, because it could be anything. Being uprooted, suddenly wanting to move in a new direction, feeling like your fuse is shorter than it's ever been, wishing you were anywhere but here – all of these things exist as possibilities. The thing to remember is this: sooner or later, depending on which end of Aries you were born on, you're going to have to address the need for radical change or be stuck with whatever's going on right now.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

You have more than enough to keep you busy. There seems to be an abundance of everything right now. For the next few weeks the brass ring will be calling your name. It's time to perk up and start paying attention to some of the greater opportunities that are floating around. As far as time goes, it needs to be managed with a clear eye to how much of it you have to give to one thing versus another. That will depend on what's important to you. If it's your work, you need to make hay while the sun shines; if it's your love life, it's your turn to start opening your heart. | RDW
