CANCER: June 21 – July 20

Believe it or not you are weaving up a whole new dream; as nuts as everything looks, all of this is a precursor to things that will blossom in a year's time. Life has a way of falling apart and reconstructing itself in regularly timed cycles. All of us reach switching points that open portals that can take us anywhere. You're at one of those points right now – and questions that relate to whether it's safe to crawl out the window and find a way to live with nothing from the past to bind you, will continue to challenge your security issues for the next three months.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

You are still trying to figure out what just happened; it would be easier to get the picture if the situation wasn't so highly charged. Sometimes things happen in spite of us, not because of us. Instead of feeling like you did something wrong it might be time to see this as a chance to get off the treadmill and liberate yourself from things that have gotten way too small. Before you can do that you need to come to terms with who you are and what you're here for. Up to now you were so sure about things. At this point, any lack of certainty should be considered par for the course.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

You can only do so much for people. As soon as it's OK to start saying 'no' you will be able to see that others have their own resources. They also have a lot more time on their hands than you do. Issues that relate to being caught in the middle have made it much harder for you to keep track of where you're at with things. The politics of wondering who needs to be catered to changes from day to day. Within all of that, it becomes your job to know more about what's going on than they do – or run the risk of being over run by things that have no bearing on you.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

You don't need to get too wound up about this. The idea that there's anything in it could very well be an illusion. Your weak spot lies in the tendency to give others more credit than they deserve. This gets complicated when you're in the mood to see what you want to see, instead of what's there. I don't want to bust your bubble, but I would ask for a few more references before you decide to sign up for this. It isn't just you, others could be misrepresenting themselves, making it even more difficult for you to weed through the BS enough to see what's going on.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

You have a little space to regroup after what looks like a hectic period of time. Even if time doesn't seem to mean much anymore, you're feeling good about having enough of it to focus on the human part of your life. That's all about to change. Within a few months the need to prove your competency will ring up all kinds of issues. Between the fear of success and the fear of failure, you're about to find yourself halfway between the two wondering if you deserve to be taken seriously, or if those another one of those deals that forces you to get on the ball.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You can handle more than the average person. At this point you've got more than your share of responsibility and are wearing it well. Before too long, the weight of it all will combine with the need to create a little more joy and take you off in a whole new direction. As it stands now, you're not quite ready to take any risks, and many of you haven't even seen the light. This is no time to think small. There are opportunities beginning to sprout up all around you and most of them are far more interesting and rewarding that what you've allowed yourself to do.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

You know what they say about attitude: it's everything. For someone who always has their back to the Sun, putting on a happy face doesn't come naturally. It's OK to be a realist, but when it drives all of your faith into the toilet, you've got a problem. Right now, the enormity of things has got you blowing life out of proportion. This has nothing to do with the way things are – it's about the way you've decided to interpret them. Don't be too quick to make it all worse by worrying your thoughts into a prayer for what you don't want. A little faith will take you far.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

The next few months should be given over to whatever it is that you need to do for yourself. In a perfect world this would be possible; for some of you, it may be. For others, the patterns of your daily life are probably too demanding to allow you any room for the things that restore your soul. In the midst of your busy-ness, the process of remaining connected to yourself comes down to staying in the moment. If you can manage to move like water through and around everything that fills your day, even in the midst of a lot of intensity, you will be clear enough to handle anything.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

You need to watch the tendency to think that love means putting up with anything. At a certain point the need to draw boundaries forces even the most selfless soul to realize that there will be nothing left of them if they keep it up. This issue works both ways; it does no good for you to be the one who expects others to put up with anything. At the moment the whole matter of where to draw the line is calling all of you to look at how far you will go with both giving and taking. Either way, it's time to stop confusing need with neediness and begin to take care of yourself.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

You wish you could figure out who you want to be when you grow up. This case of arrested development has you wondering if that question ever got answered. As much as your life has been a gem of accomplishment, at this point the idea of starting from scratch competes with the need to rest on your laurels. It all comes down to what makes you happy. As simplistic as that sounds, it's the bottom line. And whatever you think you risk by following your bliss is nothing compared to what it will cost you to deny the truth and never know what you're here for.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

The way things are looking, you seem to be the only one who knows what's going on. And what you're seeing is making you wonder if you need to step in and stop the presses, or step back and let the chips fall where they may. Your fears about what could happen if you don't speak up need to be considered in light of the way others will react if you do. Sometimes it pays to be the 'Wise One' and keep your mouth shut, knowing full well that making any type of statement will either turn you into the bad guy or make it hard for the situation to improve before Hell freezes over.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

Getting back in the saddle again has been a bit more of a chore than it was the last time. You're getting slammed with everything from soup to nuts. In situations like this, the best advice anyone could give you would be to deal with one thing at a time. Sometimes it's better to face the hard stuff first. If that's how it works for you, clear the decks of everything that makes you wish you didn't have to deal with it. Relative to your relationships, themes of reconnection are strong enough to raise questions as to whether or not you're ready to push this rock up a hill once again.| RDW
