LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

When we delude ourselves about our abilities and use the supposed power they give us for egocentric ends, it becomes dangerous. You'd be wise to check in with your motives, and the motives of those whose company you keep. This may be less about you than it is about someone else and their efforts to deceive/undermine/exploit whatever it is that you hold in such sweet supply. On the other hand, any one of you who has been able to hold steady through all of these tests will be well rewarded for any efforts you have made to put truth and love before profit.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

Everything comes down to whether or not we can see, know, and live our truth; that's all this is about. You've come to a moment of truth that is either already in progress or lining up, waiting for its turn to light up your life. I don't know where you're at with yourself but it's your beliefs and your attachment to them that you need to keep an eye on. You've got a mess of stuff heating up that will beg you to look at the gap between what you believe in, and what you live out in your daily experience. The key to moving through it all lies in finding a way to merge the two.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You mix it up better than most of us. God knows what you're cooking but I am sure it's full of its share of drama. Not that you're a drama freak; but you seem to attract it, and right now, there's a whole new element being added to what was already over the top. A sense of humor is well advised - and you'd be smart to lay low with your opinions; at least for now. Don't preach or try to educate anyone to see it your way. You can only teach by example so shut your mouth and do your best to embody your truth and all your actions will be the mouth piece for it.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

Getting real has turned out to be a lot more fun than you expected; either that or you are feeling like you're under an enormous amount of pressure. Transformational themes are all over the place. So is the idea that it's time to get down to what is quintessential. You've got to give yourself enough time to see what needs to happen next. If things need to be bought and/or sold, don't postpone it. If you need to change your direction, or let go of things entirely it's only because it's time. Stabilize your situation and look for ways to bring more light into your life.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

It's amazing how you really don't know people until you get to know them. Everyone seems nice until you have to deal with them at close range. In this situation, it could be the stress of too much ambition that's bringing out the worst in everyone. Don't take the way other people choose to deal with themselves to heart. The only thing you need to be concerned with is your own relationship to all of this. The impulse to step in and make things right every time someone else starts adding their shit to the pile is a tendency that needs to be avoided like the plague.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

You have so many tricks up your sleeve. On a bad day this loans itself to self-deception, on a good day it produces a wellspring of faith and creativity. You'd do better to go with the second option. By now you're all too familiar with where you end up whenever your evil twin decides to walk you down the garden path. For years you were so sure that there was something to be gained by falling prey to those distractions. Don't let weakness ruin all the good that occupies the heart of your intentions and remember that you came here to use your gifts to change the world.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

The last couple of weeks have been over the top. You aren't sure what's going on but you know that sudden changes, surprises and events that have turned you around have highlighted your need to keep life interesting. There's enough drama in your current situation to make the business of getting by a little more complicated than usual. For starters you can't think straight - and there are issues that involve your affections that you are having a hard time coming to terms with. What you can't seem to deal with would be of less concern if you weren't so stubborn about love.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

Your wish to be respected for who you are and what you've accomplished has you wondering if your latest venture will do the trick. It looks to me like you're sitting on a double-edged sword because things could go one way or another. You have your own way of doing things and you haven't been as concerned about other people and their interests as you have been about your own. That's all well and good but some of you have gone too far and are about to justify all of this by rationalizing your actions and praying that nobody notices where your integrity went.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

The risk of letting too many things fall through the cracks will mess this up if you can't stop long enough to take notice. You could use an assistant. Unfortunately, no one could wrap their mind around all of this except you. There are other issues. The need to look at what you're doing and learn how to analyze what's going on, instead of blindly saying 'OK' to all of it is imperative - because some of the stuff that escapes your notice winds up screwing up the greater portion of everything else. When the tail winds up wagging the dog, you know it's time for a change.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

Don't make the mistake of thinking things have to be one way or another. It's always better when everyone wins. In this situation, conflicting interests could be reconciled in 2 seconds if you could just sit down and talk it over. Holding off, holding on, or holding out are issues that are making it difficult to come to terms with whatever it will take to make things work. Don't wait. Stop clinging to whatever it is that keeps you from stating your case, and don't make the mistake of thinking that remaining silent about this situation will do anything to improve it.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

You need to think about what's best for you. The last time this came up things were different. Everything about you has changed and you need to review your life from the standpoint of what's happened in the mean time. That being said, the idea that you're chained to this post is an illusion. Soon enough you will either be dying to leave, or mysteriously trapped by external issues and forces that seem to want t keep you where you are. The point of it all has to do with you being clear enough to know for sure that it's safe to move your life onto a totally new track.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

You guys don't have too much to worry about. Even if your life is full of things to do, you have to admit you're having a relatively easy time. Something clicked a few months ago and you decided to stop sweating the small stuff. All the energy that used to go into trying to make it all perfect, has been freed up by the understanding that everything IS perfect. You don't have to do much but 'Be' these days. If those words ring true the next stretch will be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. If you're still trying too hard - all I can say is; look at what it gets you. | RDW
