VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

You run between pushing too hard and not pushing hard enough. It's difficult to know how much pressure to apply in situations where everything is as unclear as your's appears to be. Before you let anyone tell you how to balance your life, realize that they don't have to live in it. You know as well as I do that you are burnt out when it comes to things that used to get you going. This is complicated by the fact that you aren't sure enough about who you are now to know how much of the past needs to be kept alive, or how much of your spirit has anything left to give to it.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

It didn't pay to hang around and blame everyone else for your troubles. You are now willing to admit that it was a great way to excuse yourself from having to be accountable for any of it. Thank God you've turned a corner. If you're feeling a little lighter and clearer it's because you finally decided to get real. Isn't it amazing how the truth heals? If it's hard to know exactly where you need or want to go from here, at least you're clear that you can't stay put. Use your energy to create a foundation for whatever the future holds and prepare inwardly for a move.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

You hover between being totally cool with everything and freaking out about the fact that you've never had to deal with anything like this before. You can take comfort in the fact that it doesn't matter how crazy things look; the only thing that matters is how you handle it. Doing the right thing is about to involve realizing that you have to take a completely different approach. The old tendency to need to stay on top of things and to make sure that others are behaving as they should needs to be replaced with a light hand, an open heart and a willingness to let them be.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You could stay or go. It's OK with you either way. On some level this is how you see it; but I am not sure if you really believe it - because another part of you is absolutely sure that you need to either get out or recognize that some big changes are in order. The tendency to get over involved with people who need more help than you can give them, or who have figured out how to manipulate you in ways that force you to acquiesce to their dependence on you, is the main issue right now. Don't let your soft spot blind you to the fact that this doesn't work for you at all.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

How could you possibly feel totally free and clear? The last few years have been so full of radical change, it's a wonder you're still in one piece. Trying to act like you're over things, making it seem as if you've got it all under control, or any attempt to play it cool won't erase the fact that nothing is the same. You keep sticking around not necessarily by choice – and what you don't realize is that you will not be able to see anything clearly until you shift your point of perception. For a change of tune and a new vision, a move is definitely in order for many of you.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

You keep trying to prove that there's something left of the past, or trying to attach yourself to things that have come and gone. Who will you be if you can't let go of this? If it scares you to think that you will be nothing without it, it's time to take a look at what that says about you. Like it or not you're going to have to re-establish yourself as an independent unit. That being the case, it would be better for you to look at who you are now and begin to realize that you're fulfillment and success hinge upon your ability to draw your strength from the things that matter to you.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

Things are a little nuts, but what the hell? This is better than you've had it in a long time. Without leading you to think that it will go on forever, it's pretty obvious that you are on a roll. It's time to get out there and work it. If you can do this without letting your ego get out of control you're going to find that it will take you everywhere. It's almost as if you've arrived at the terminal where the rest of your life is getting ready to take off. Don't let your attachments tie you down, or hold you back. Let them go, and trust that the ones that matter will be there forever.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

You've always been 100% clear about who you are. For the first time in your life you are starting to wonder. People have been showing up to make you question everything you thought you knew. As much as this could be upsetting, part of you is excited that there is more to you than meets the eye. Whatever's going on, this is about opening your mind and your heart to possibilities that could include; a spiritual awakening, the birth of a child and/or a whole new reason for living. As long as you aren't too set in your ways, life will just keep opening up.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

Too much has happened for you to know exactly how you feel. You're a litle confused, to say the least. Don't expect too much from yourself. When life gets like this it's best not to judge it. The last year and a half have altered everything. For someone who thrives on permanence and stability, it's hard to watch yourself morph into something you've never seen before. A good look in the mirror will show you a person who's just beginning to connect with themselves. Be patient with all of this. In a few months, for better or worse, what is unclear now will be clear as a bell.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

You have diplomatic license plates in most situations; it gives you permission to do whatever you please and never have to be accountable for it. With more freedom of movement than the rest of us, it's easy for you to go out of bounds. And it looks like you are currently living with the end result of giving yourself too much leeway. It'll be fun trying to talk your way out of this. Before you go any further it might be good to look around and see how your sense of entitlement led you to believe that you could go ahead with this, without consulting anyone else.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

You have had it up to here with certain folks. I can see why. They take a lot and they don't give anything in return; or so it seems. You have your own way of getting what you want from people. There's a lot to be said for taking care of the ones who take care of you. At the moment that's what's going on - and of course it will change. Whatever it is that you're giving make sure you do it from the heart It's vital to your growth and development to learn how to walk the fine line that allows you to give it all and know enough to preserve yourself at the same time.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

If you think you have mastered your ego, guess again! And if you think your latest plan isn't subject to the Will of Heaven you've got another thing coming. Regardless of what your story happens to be, it's time to think about making adjustments. Those of you who are beginning to realize that you don't know it all might be ready to let go of the idea that things need to be a certain way in order for your life to work. If you can do this you will soon see that it works better when we keep it open ended and allow ourselves to keep growing past every previous limit. | RDW
