GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

You keep telling yourself you don't need to keep doing this. At the same time you can't give it up. Torn between the idea of keeping on or heading off to whatever's next, you're wedged in a conflict that won't get settled just because you want it to. External issues have already created delays. The signs suggest that it'll be 'hurry up and wait' for the next few months. In the meantime, what can you do? This is happening to give you a chance to reconsider a few things and to help you see that it isn't what you do; it's your relationship to it that counts.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

You don't know how this is going to work, but you're clear that you have to take the chance. A little gun-shy from a few rounds of 'fiscal' difficulties, and SOL in the confidence department, you have to find a way to go for it one more time. If it's any comfort to you, there's a lot more support for your success than you've had in a coon's age. As much as there are no guarantees, the one thing you do have is enough sense to see that you can't keep 'working for the man' and you aren't getting any younger. It's time to take a flying leap. What have you got to lose?

LEO: July 21 – August 20

Too many reasons to celebrate tell me that you've got a lot to be happy about. After a long period of not knowing where you stood, years of dedication have turned out to be their own reward. Ironically, as much as it's party time, you're so busy living up to your responsibilities you don't have a minute to spare. For once in your life you're OK with having more work than you can handle. Give it everything you've got; and while you're at it, congratulate yourself for making it through one of the hardest stretches of your life without sacrificing your Spirit.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

Coming to the realization that you're in over your head has you wondering what to do about it. This sense of being overwhelmed and the idea that something larger than life has interfered with your freedom is part of an old pattern. Why does this keep happening? If you look closely, whoever or whatever appears to be the source of the problem is a stand-in for the people and things that made everything in your life about sinking or swimming. Staying calm enough to float on top of the situation will allow you to have more control over it.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

You aren't as enthusiastic about this as others expect you to be. After what you've been through, is it any wonder that you're a little leery, or even paranoid, about what might come out of it? We are told that the past dictates the future, but if that is the case, we'd all be living through reruns of every mistake we ever made. Don't make the mistake of using the rearview mirror to figure out what will happen next. Whether you know it or not, what you're about to embark on will be your reward for all of the BS you've had to plow through to get here!

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

You say one thing and do another, or you think what you're doing is something totally different than what it is. This is either rose-colored glasses or a wall of denial that nothing can penetrate. Everyone who knows you sees it. And what no one can figure out is why it's so hard for you to look at the truth. On so many levels you're hipper than most, but when it comes to your own stuff you hide behind things that make it difficult for anyone to believe in you. Walking your talk is the key to everything right now. It's time to see what you don't want to see.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

The idea that you're the 'easygoing' type has flown out the window. As much as you want to be OK with all of this, you're burning up over it. While it's easy to see why you're so bent out of shape, it's hard to believe that you of all people could be so petty; especially now, when life seems to be calling you to step out of the box. Don't get too judgmental. At the same time give yourself plenty of space to air your judgments – just long enough to see how much it doesn't pay to be closed-minded when the lesson involves outgrowing every previous limit.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

No one can tell you where this will go. If you could step out of the situation you'd see that you're in one of those cyclic changes that alter everything to the core. On the mundane level, you're feeling kind of lost and perhaps going through the motions of the daily routine like a sleepwalker who isn't really there for it. Picture yourself idling at a four-way stop sign; time will tell you when it's your turn to move and your intuition will tell you which direction to take. In the meantime, just keep the light on and let your heart guide your choices from here on out.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

You can't make people want to go along with you if all you do is criticize them for not being who you want them to be. A little reverse psychology would do more to wake them up than all of your preaching. You have every right to expect more from this situation and it would be in their best interests to stop wasting their potential. But nothing grows when you force it and I have a feeling a little acceptance would do more to get them to see that their behavior isn't working for them either. Change will come when they realize they've got better things to do.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

Too many things suggest that you're throwing pearls before swine in a situation that keeps you stuck doing what you've always done. If it isn't boring you to death it's got to be making you wonder why you don't think enough of yourself to branch out. For too long you've sold out to the highest bidder and in the process you've betrayed your highest ideals. At this point any decision you make has to be made from a place of knowing that you can no longer live with yourself and keep pretending that you came here to live a mediocre life.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

You can't believe how lucky you are. It almost feels strange to have nothing in the way. At the moment it's not quite clear how far things will go, but don't waste your energy worrying about it. Everything has a lifespan and, like everything else, this will spin out until there's nothing left of it. Your job is to have this experience and allow yourself to be transformed by it. As far as other people go, there are no guarantees. If part of you knows this, keep it in the foreground because the part of you that believes everything lasts forever could ruin a good thing.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

Don't expect people to treat this the way you would; it's crazy to assume that they care. You aren't going to be able to enlist their support because this is your business, not theirs. For many of you the idea of being betrayed, stabbed in the back or undermined by those you assumed were incapable of deceit is part of the lesson. Getting upset about it won't heal this. If you are aware of yourself you understand that it's time for things to change. If you've lived long enough you know that change often manifests as difficulty, but it always makes things better. | RDW
