VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

You get weird whenever your perfection trips don't play out. What you forget is that everything is perfect. This is either the Cosmic two-by-four or it's an identity crisis. Don't over analyze it. All of us are going through changes that are too unique to categorize. What you are having a hard time with is the idea that you never thought things would end up this way. Whatever's going on, the one thing you've got going for you is your ability to adapt. It looks like now is the time to call it up and find a way to make the best of what you never thought would happen.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

You are so done with this. It doesn't matter what it is, you are ready to let it go. For many of you this means finally coming to terms with your primary issues. If that is the case, congratulations! The extent to which you are able to deal with things at the gut level will determine how easy or hard life feels for the next few months. Those of you who are the least bit stuck or nervous about what might happen if you get on with your life, are probably noticing that nothing seems to improve. That's just part of the lesson. Passing this test will require you to break a few rules.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

No matter how much the past seems to interfere with the present, in the here and now you have it in your power to forgive and forget. Don't hold people hostage over the water under the bridge; that stuff is done. What you need to see now is the idea that you chose to enter this set of circumstances because you knew that it would teach you about love. All any of us are here for is to give and receive love. You can't let the blood on the tracks ruin a potentially incredible thing. And you can't let your pictures put too small a frame around anything that involves your heart.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

Questions of: 'Should I stay or should I go?' could be easily answered if you weren't so confused about who you want to be when you grow up. You're free to go ahead and do whatever you want. If you aren't quite sure how to handle this try getting in touch with how you feel about it. Like everything else in life this is a process and it will take up to a year to know for sure what needs to happen. In the meantime the sea of experience is where you will find your answers. If you are able to follow your heart instead of what you have been led to expect, you'll be fine.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

Knowing how much to bring to a situation has become an issue. You see exactly what needs to happen; even so, others see it differently and they have a right to their opinion. What would help more than anything would be to step back and look at who this belongs to? I have a feeling that you don't need to be involved in anything unless you are asked. Those close to you don't necessarily need your input at the moment. If you're smart you'll forget about needing to hold their lives together and take a little time to give yourself the strength to be there when they call.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

The next time you feel overwhelmed look at this with a wide angle lens; it'll take another month or two. If you can hold out and just keep your focus on getting the job done, it will be easier. At times like this it's good to know how to tackle whatever needs doing in bits and pieces. It would also be good for you to do whatever it takes to keep your head on straight. Too many things suggest that there are levels of interference and distractions of a personal nature that keep calling you to dissipate your energy. Don't make the mistake of not knowing where to draw the line.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

You have opened up in ways that are surprising. Trusting life enough to take a few risks has shown you what you were missing. Most of what has held you back until now has had to do with attachments to people, places, and things that required you to diminish yourself. Something has clicked and all of a sudden you want to let it all go. What other people do about this will surprise you. I have a feeling in the act of choosing freedom over whatever it is that kept you down has shown them as much about themselves as it has about you. Watch and see what they do about it.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

You can't expect to get results if you aren't willing to look outside the box. For many of you, this could mean coming to the realization that others never meant any harm. The idea behind all of this is; you absolutely have to try to look at whatever's going on from a different point of view. Being stuck is pointless and that's where's you'll wind up if you can't take a novel approach or if you are unwilling to get over yourself in any way. The good news is, the minute you drop all your fears, considerations and any lack of forgiveness your situation will improve.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

You could get irritated by this or you could just forgive those who know not what they do. Whatever you decide to take personally is your business; if it were me I would forget it and take the high road – because you aren't in the mood and you haven't got the time to stoop to that level. The martial arts experts tell us the best defense is to offer no resistance. In this situation that would seem to suggest that the only way to win is to let it go. If your pride is too wounded to see that, trust me; the need to defend yourself or seek revenge will only make things worse.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

Change is afoot. As yet, it may not be totally obvious to you what it's all about but something has shifted energetically and you are ready to grow up, or grow past the BS that has blocked your fulfillment until now. Many things are about to come together, and as many things will change when that happens. Be prepared for this and be sure to use your gift for handling more than one thing to diversify your options. As it stands, the bird in your hand is looking substantial enough but times are strange and you would be wise to keep an eagle eye on what's in the bush.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

At the end of the day it comes down to knowing enough to follow your heart. Even if this takes you into uncharted and even difficult waters, there is never any other choice. Any one of a number of things could be going on with you guys right now. Those of you who are wide open and free don't need to do much but let go of the shore and start riding the current of change to whatever's next. Those of you who still believe that the old way of doing things is going to work for you now need to realize that it's senseless to align yourself with values that are defunct.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

You've given so much of yourself it's a wonder that you haven't been nominated to sainthood. If others are oblivious to it, or if it never seems to get noticed, the forces that watch over you are about to let you receive for a change. Situations that involve sudden openings, or reversals of decision and/or unexpected events that turn the tide and create more room to breathe will come along in one form another to provide an escape from things that need to shift in order for you to grow. Don't be surprised if these changes are precipitated by the return of ghosts from the past. | RDW
