LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

You have been waiting for your ship to come in on so many levels. Whatever it is that you thought would come through is still hung up in limbo. This applies to your expectations as much as it does to any settlements or promotions you might be waiting for. If you think that things like this are best handled by keeping a close eye on them, it ain't necessarily so. You would be far better off letting nature take its course. It may be time to find better things to do, which at this point would include, getting out of your head and getting real about where your heart lies.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

You go back and forth between guilt and longing wondering why things don't come together. It's too much to think about what it would take to turn all of this around. You're the one who has to choose. Don't get trapped by the fear that telling the truth will come at too high a price. If this sounds a little bit too cryptic, maybe you're one of the few who has already figured out that one can follow their bliss without incurring any penalty. Wherever you're coming from, no matter what the choice is, this is about, trusting life and giving yourself permission to live it.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You could keep doing this forever; it all depends on you. At the moment your mind is restless enough to make you think you need a change. Before you jump on any new prospects consider the need to cut out all the dead wood and find ways to reinvent, reinvigorate or refurbish what is already in place. It's not the best time for drastic moves or extreme measures. At the same time, you can't ignore the ants in your pants. For now, the best solutions will come in the form of possibilities that allow you to take the best of what's in place and make it better.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

Taking over what others can't do for themselves is a huge theme for you guys. For some, this has involved playing the heavy in situations where no one else was willing to be the bad guy. For others it's just been about having to make tough decisions and stand by them. It's never easy in your world. Up until now you've been able to live with this. For the next month or two, the relative ease of things will be over ruled by circumstances that get even more complicated when the people who called up all of this chaos decide to plead innocent to the fact that they started it.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

Other people and their hypocrisies are making you wonder what this is all about. It was never your intention to be part of anything that called for this much deceit. Don't assume that you can escape the need to play along with it just enough to make everyone feel comfortable. Too much is riding on how you handle the next few months for you to get too concerned about the way other people decide to run the show. When this is over, and you're sitting safely on the other side of what could be the biggest milestone in your life, you'll have plenty of time to figure it out.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

You keep trying to force things. For some reason, even though you know better, you keep trying to push your way in. The fact that it doesn't seem to be working should be enough to show you that you can't make your influence felt. Before the month is over you're going to come up against the idea that some things are immune to your charms and not everyone needs to be impressed by your desire for their approval. Some of this has to do with the company you keep. The rest of it has to do with your sense of entitlement that for some strange reason keeps putting people off.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

You aren't as trapped by this situation as you think. The past has too much to say about the way you look at things. Bringing everything that ever happened to us into every choice we ever make is something all of us are prone to do. Consciously or unconsciously, we do this automatically. You're in the middle of a turnaround that can't afford to be restricted by the way things went the last time this happened. All possibilities, and the courage to heal from the inside out will come to the rescue in the form of a new relationship, a new job, and/or a whole new lease on life.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

It's hard to know what to say to you. With any luck you have something to focus on. If your mind is left to wander it'll conjure up all kinds of static. The stuff that made you think certain things were over and done didn't make the same impression on the people who thought they had something to say about it. If they show up when you least expect it don't turn your back on them. Remain open. If this isn't about them, it's about whoever they're about to put you into contact with. Who knows? It could open things long enough to allow some new blood to enter your life.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

You seem to be caught in the middle of some crazier than usual stuff; thank God you've been here, and done this, a thousand times before. The easiest way to settle things down would be to wipe the slate clean and start all over again. If others don't see it the same way, give them time. Even Superman would have a hard time making this work and you haven't got the patience to deal with all the public relations that will be required if this scenario gets any crazier than it is right now. Strap yourself in - and keep reminding yourself that you said this is what you wanted.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

This would be too much for anyone but you. Just because you're feeling overwhelmed it doesn't mean you can't handle it. Sudden changes, for better or worse will be par for the course no matter how well you've done your homework or how well your back is covered. Times are strange. None of us are sure about anything. For your own sake, remain clear about your motives and don't let those who are jealous of your success try to undermine the sense that you deserve it. Just keep doing what you're doing and remain humble enough to remember how to keep it simple..

LEO: July 21 – August 20

You're a little confused about what constitutes, 'doing the right thing'. On the surface it seems like it's just about upholding the status quo. Underneath it all, the bigger part of you is wondering if there's any point to it. No one can answer this question but you. Depending on where you're at with yourself, it's time to look at how you got here and what your motives were in the first place. Part of the reason you're feeling confused is because you were under the impression that what worked for everyone else would work for you; at the moment you're not so sure.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

You can't please everyone. Sometimes you have to forget about being perfect and take care of yourself. Too many people have something to say about what you get to do with your time. It would be great if they were the ones who had to make it all work. Don't worry too much. You need to realize that nobody has any business trying to run your life and they certainly don't have the right to keep you from doing whatever it takes to make it work. Nagging and bickering over things that don't add up to a hill of beans sucks up all your energy and totally wastes your time. | RDW
