LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

You are reeling from the after effects of loss and failure. It'll take a few weeks before the best that was yet to come shows up disguised as yet another test. That's OK. Don't let anything make you think you can't handle this. The last couple of years have shown you that nothing is too much, it's all good, and you don't have to prove yourself to anyone. Up to a point this is true; beyond that boundary, everything becomes important - and right now the need to have all your bases covered is at odds with forces that could come down on you when you least expect it.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

Don't compare yourself to people who have totally different life lessons than you do; there is no way your world needs to look like theirs. The idea that there is a template for any of this goes caput in the instant that we give ourselves permission to get real about who we are and what we want. The extent to which you can live on anyone's terms but your own will have a lot to say about your next move. Waiting for whoever's in charge to be OK with it could take forever. This is one of those times when it's YOU who needs to step in and take your life in a new direction.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You will never feel like you're OK with this until you stop needing to make everything go your way. It makes no sense to pretend that it's all good and go into total control mode every time your situation starts to get tense. Your pictures keep you from seeing how many possibilities there are outside of the box that you keep them in. On so many levels the need to let go and let life be what it is would do wonders for everything you want to achieve. You know what I'm talking about. It's time to regroup and get back to the sense that everything's perfect the way it is.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

Time spent with relatives and/or people who otherwise drain you needs to be followed up with a little rest and relaxation. The tendency to stay on the treadmill needs to be monitored; especially now - because there is a boatload of stuff in the background that you can't even begin to address. I can see why you don't want to go there and I can see as much about a deeper need to keep the status quo fed just long enough to give you the strength to see what you don't want to see. For some of you, this will be easy; for others there will be more confrontation than you can handle.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

Don't assume you know what's best for anyone. You forget that you see everything from a completely different frame of reference. There are times when it's OK to throw your differences in people's faces. At other times, you're better off keeping your thoughts to yourself. This is one of those moments in time when the thrust of your differences could very well be enough to change someone's mind. Before you start to congratulate yourself for finally driving your point home, check in one last time with your motives for wishing others would come back for good.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

You can't figure out what happened to the one who never seemed like they'd be capable of this. You're still in shock. As much as you know you should have seen it coming, the more sensitive aspects of your soul can't let this go. In a few weeks there will be more than one reason to stop with the melodrama and pick up on the newness of people and things who arrive with good intentions and enough respect for your sensitivities to treat you with love....or with something that allows you to get past the feeling that you will never get over this, or the one that got away,

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

Stop worrying about what it's going to cost you to either go for this, or get it over with. You of all people should know that it's OK to take the risk. Try to remember what it feels like to trust your instincts. Whoever or whatever is on the other end of this decision already knows what they want. As much as you feel like you want to keep everything the way it is, with the influences that are hovering over you right now, there is no way you can expect to have anything stay the same. Let the universe toss your life around. Trust it to bring you and your heart to a much better place.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

You have reached a crossroads. At this point, with more than one decision to make, you've got to be sure that your mind is clear and your motives are free of conflict. If life is calling you to let things go, now is the time to release anything that disallows the truest expression of yourself. You can no longer live with yourself and be anything but who you are. If the idea of cutting ties has some of you wrestling with your security trips, do your best to quell your fears and try to understand that you can't expect to live if your attachments keep you from living your truth.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

You've done an amazing job in a situation that would have driven lesser mortals to drink. Congratulations for being so good at shining things on and having enough diplomacy to deal with more than your share of upsets. Making light of things has bought you some time - and now that everyone's back on the same page, you have a chance to sit down and access the situation from a grounded place. It would be great to talk some of this over with a good friend, or with someone who knows you well enough to see that this experience hasn't been easy for you either.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

You are on your way to the next thing - this could mean new people, new places, and/or new projects. Nothing needs to be done in a hurry. As much as it feels like you've got to push things into manifestation, you need to remind yourself that what's in our highest good never needs to be forced. What's about to happen will only be good if it comes from a place of authenticity and truth. If you can get out of your own way and open the path ways that allow your intuition and instincts to really start cooking, you know as well as I do that whatever's next will be awesome!

LEO: July 21 – August 20

You suffer from the illusion that you don't know what's in your own best interests, and you are still way too invested in worn out pictures of how life is supposed to work. It's time to get over it. Having the confidence to trust your own guidance comes from putting it to the test and noticing how everything seems to work a whole lot better whenever you do. You can't afford to be held back by belief or custom. Stretching your boundaries will call you to conduct a thorough review of your life so far, one which will most likely inspire you to get off your ass and go for it!

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

It's hard to say how you feel. On the one hand you're totally in tune with the idea that everything is divinely ordered; on the other hand, you're a bit confused by whatever you're looking at right now. The burning question of the day is; what will it take to enjoy this? There is no prescription for what it takes to fill every experience with joy. Don't hassle yourself for being less than perfect and use what you know to let difficulty, stress, challenges and doubt take you deeper into the heart of your reality. May your dreams be in keeping with what's in your highest good. | RDW
