PISCES: February 21 – March 20

The horizon has changed so much that you have to re-evaluate everything. You feel clearer about who you are inwardly and it’s time to bring all of that to the surface. As this happens, more than one adjustment will have to be made and people will either go along with it or they won’t. Don’t be timid about the way you approach your next move. And whatever you do, don’t hang around waiting for others to back you up. Too much hangs on your ability to act decisively, even in the face of people who will do their best to convince you that you’re making a mistake.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

Nobody expects you to be anything but yourself. It’s you who have decided you have to put on an act. It might be good for you to ask yourself why you don’t consider yourself OK enough to qualify for whatever’s going on here. Other issues that go back to the circumstances of your childhood prevent you from growing beyond a certain point. If your mind is open, another part of you is closed to the idea that you too deserve to have, and be, and do whatever you want. Don’t disqualify yourself from the chance of a lifetime. Give yourself permission to shine.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

Trouble in paradise? Is this an emergency or have you just woken up to a few things? Any surface disturbance has its origin in things that have been suppressed for far too long. What you take to be a sudden turn of events started reverberating at least seven years ago. If you’re in trouble or distressed about anything most of it refers back to that point. What you decide to do about it this time will depend upon whether or not you can accept your previous mistake. Owning up to things will be easier than continuing to pretend that you are right about everything.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

You need to think about what it will take to make this work. This isn’t one of those things that that will benefit from the direct approach. Taking care of it will require you to look at what you owe the situation and decide what it will take to make everything fair and square. If you’re honest you know that there’s enough of a debt on your part for you to be willing to make a few allowances for people. On paper you have every right to cut the cord, but there are personal issues and lives at stake and you can’t just dispense with things without taking all of that to heart.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

People could care less about your problem. Don’t expect anyone to respond. You may not like it, but life is teaching you about where your support really comes from. Searching for strength or consolation in anything outside of yourself could be considered a handicap at this point. If this sounds harsh it’s just the way things are. The wise choice would be to accept those conditions and work within them. If you can do that you will forge something lasting and real instead of caving in to the fear that your life depends on who or what is out there to support you.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

It’s hard to figure out if you’re trying to make this happen or if the act of shooting yourself in the foot is just the old Karmic two-by-four whacking you on the side of the head. If we create our own realities you get the Academy Award for what appears to be a cross between The Grapes of Wrath and Gone In 60 Seconds. You could blame this on people, places, and things, but so much of what’s going on is the direct result of things you did and were never quite clear about. You know what they are. If you can own up to that, this tragedy will turn into a comedy.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

The next few weeks will see you reviewing your relationships and their influence on your overall wellbeing. Your sense of obligation to others weighs so heavily on your mind that it would be good if you could step back and see what it gets you. This looks like a one- way street. To keep on giving, or not, is the question of the hour. Everything is relative. For many of you this is a Karmic thing, and the issue of when enough is enough depends on things that took place in another time. For others it’s a simple matter of learning how to say “No” for a change.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

Don’t let surface disturbances mislead you into thinking that everything is falling apart. On so many levels you are totally connected. What appears to be shaking down is just what happens when our lives cross over into a renewal phase. If your life is looking a little too much like the last thing you thought would ever happen, it’s time to ask yourself why you were so sure it had to be some other way. From another point of view what’s going on here is exactly what you’ve always wanted; as crazy as this looks, if you can get behind it it’ll turn out just fine.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

Don’t try to make this decision right now. You keep going back and forth in your head without realizing that this is one choice that only your heart can make. Recent changes make it difficult to be clear about what’s going on, and this is another reason to take your time. It’s pretty obvious that you know what you want. The problem is that you are so afraid of what it will do to other people. From the looks of things, a few weeks’ delay will open the space for other issues to clear up. When those things are fully resolved your choice will be easier to make.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You can quit, or you can wait and see if things improve. Part of you knows that nothing you say or do is going to change this, but you’re still running on the hope that it could. Everyone’s telling you to forget about it. Half of them can’t be trusted and the rest of them are dishing out advice based on their own misfortunes. You’d be stupid to listen to anyone right now. I get the feeling that whatever this looks like, the passage of time is going to mold it into something more to your liking. In rare instances, sometimes it’s worth it to keep on trucking.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

You’ve been juggling so many variables, no wonder you’re feeling a little schizophrenic. Flipping back and forth between this and that, it becomes difficult to find yourself when life settles down at the end of the day. You don’t necessarily need a vacation because you thrive more on work than you do on play. But you definitely need to chill out because the bigger part of you is spiritually exhausted from having to live this way. Something needs to change. You could start by getting in touch with what it would take to feel centered and whole again.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

The least of your worries turned out to be something else altogether. Little did you know what people were capable of. Signs of betrayal began to leak through the cracks long before this but you were too busy denying it to see this coming. Fortunately, you’re not one of those people who likes to play the victim. You’re also better than most when it comes to owning up to the truth. Your current affairs could get worse before they get better. Avoid anyone who tries to get you to bare your soul. Whatever you say will be used against you.

Your world has shifted so fast you couldn’t explain this to anyone. Here you are in the middle of a change that’s so big you have no clue how to handle it. Your regular coping mechanisms stopped working about two months ago. Don’t allow your pride or your superiority issues to keep you from asking for help. Stay clear of old habits and people who tie you to the past. You may have to put your foot down this week. Someone who doesn’t know when to quit will drive you nuts if you don’t.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

You have finally seen exactly how much you’ve taken on. It’s no wonder that you’re feeling a little vulnerable. Up until now it’s been easy to put up a strong front but if you keep coming from that position you’ll only weaken yourself. Don’t get too lost searching for the hidden meaning behind it all because what you’re dealing with is pretty cut and dried. Important decisions will affect more than just you this week. Have enough trust to know that doing the right thing for yourself will be the best route for others too.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

You have gotten permission to do things your way. The tension in your circumstances has had a lot to do with the fact that until now you’ve had to play by the rules. Continue to stick to your guns in the face of external pressure and avoid certain people at all costs. Matters of life and death will be at the forefront. If you make it through the next month you should be home free. Things are turning a corner, believe it or not, and what you’re worried about now will become less and less of an issue.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

You’re in a situation that requires you to see things as they are instead of as you wish they were. People are just being themselves. What bothers you is that you can’t change that. It may be appropriate to get things out in the open but only if you can do it without blowing your stack. Tell the truth, but do it from a loving place. It would help so much if you could take charge of your interests in all of your relationships. The feeling that you’re tired of life will disappear as soon as you start to focus on what YOU want.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

You feel torn about a couple of things and have gotten in way too deep to know what to do. The pressure to do what’s expected is so powerful right now. What you want has nothing to do with what others are after and it looks like it’s time for a compromise. For the time being, it seems like it’s a very good idea to join forces with someone. What you get out of this will form a secure foundation for the things that you really want to focus on. Talk things over and get enthused about new projects this week.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

You are at a great jumping-off place. Whether you know this and are able to do something about it is the question. You’ve been working too hard to notice what it’s really getting you, and it’s easier to keep your nose to the grindstone than it is to look at how you feel. You could be doing so much more than you’re allowing yourself to do. It’s time to venture out beyond the safety of the world you’ve created. If this scares you, it’s as easy as crossing the street. The risks you take now will definitely pay off.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

So many of your dreams are coming true. What seemed like a crazy idea a year ago isn’t crazy at all. You have some irons in the fire that are being held up. Key people may be misrepresenting themselves. Don’t worry about what’s apparent, because these delays will work out in your favor eventually. Being hung up on someone from your past or obsessed with someone who is inappropriate are things many of you need to look at. Getting real about your love life will call you to focus on what’s right in front of you.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

You’ve finally recognized things about yourself that you could never see before. All doubt about what’s possible has been washed away and you’re realizing that you can do anything. I wouldn’t be surprised if the relationship area was a little tenuous but you’re communicating well enough to straighten that out. The love that you’re receiving from someone is strong and true. It’s your doubt about whether you deserve it that’s the real issue. As your belief in yourself grows, your capacity for love will too.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

You’ve finally gotten someone’s cooperation and at last they can see things from your perspective. The fact they are even open to your ideas is a small miracle. Other things are coming together too. People who have been a real pain have found better things to do. When they finally disappear you’ll have a lot more energy and a whole new attitude. Use this week to do whatever you need to do to get your plans going. You may have to motivate your partner with a boot in the ass before they start moving.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

It’s easy to remain in denial about your life because coming to terms with it is too difficult. Those close to you keep telling you how your hang-ups have screwed up your ability to relate to them. Feeling guilty, and being depressed about the fact that you can’t change things won’t take away the past. Stay grounded in your work and in your free time see if you can talk about some of this with people who’ve “been there”. Your friends may not be shrinks but their advice will help you sort things out this week.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

You’ve hit a wall and the need to be more patient with yourself and everything else is strong. New ideas and possibilities won’t take root overnight so give yourself six months to get them moving. You HAVE to get focused or nothing will happen. There are a lot of financial considerations that are holding you back. If you want to do something, don’t worry about where the money’s going to come from. If you keep your eye trained on what you want, the resources to create it will flow to you.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

You have issues with someone who has finally let you have it and it’s really ruffled your feathers. You may not admit it but you’re upset. There are so many ways to avoid looking at yourself and you know all of them by heart. Don’t be so quick to explain everything away with a lot of high-fallutin’ nonsense. The people who piss you off are usually your best teachers. If you’re smart you’ll pay more attention to what they’re showing you instead of hiding behind your mask of superiority and intellect. 

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20 You’re at a high water mark, under a tremendous amount of pressure, and wondering if anything is what it’s cracked up to be. Questions about your ‘position’ have gotten deep enough to make you wish making your mark didn’t involve so much compromise. Step back far enough to look at what your position requires of you and ask yourself if you’re willing to suck it up and keep going. In the face of multiple forms of hypocrisy there will be choices to make – and you will have to find a way to achieve your goals and remain true to yourself every step of the way.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20 All of a sudden what was simple and clear has gotten a little complicated; not that this is a bad thing – you are in dire need of a change. Your questions of what to do relate to whether or not you’re ready for more than you thought you’d have to deal with. If this is about love, be honest with yourself and don’t commit to anything that you can’t live with; there’s plenty of room to do this on your own terms. If it’s your financial situation that’s got you feeling uneasy, try to remember that fear and worry beget loss and do whatever it takes to make yourself happy.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20 You’re going full bore wondering where all this energy is coming from. The whirling dervish is spinning right in time with changes that are about to take you wherever you want to go. If you have any questions, they have to do with not knowing how far you can stretch before you turn into a supernova. Nothing matters more than your dreams. Don’t limit yourself and don’t settle for anything less than pure bliss. It sounds crazy, I know, but the time is now for all of you to get out from under your stuff and step out far enough to show the world who you really are.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20 You’re growing by leaps and bounds. The only thing holding you back is the fear about making ends meet. All of us get tangled up in our money trips. Your problem has to do with being stuck in the belief that abundance has anything to do with what’s in the bank. You know as well as I do that it is born out of joy. Don’t let any of your choices be overruled by the fear that you can’t afford it. Right now, the only thing you can’t afford is anything that impedes the pursuit of your bliss. Give yourself the freedom to follow it and trust that all of your needs will be met.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20 You keep trying to prove something. We could talk about the story behind it but this is less about the story than it is about the fact that somehow or other you don’t believe it yourself. When we know who we are, we don’t need to prove anything. It does no good to keep trying to make the point because every time you do you dishonor yourself. Stopping the madness will require you to see that no matter how you showcase your need for approval, whatever you’re trying to prove is the cause of all your problems. Give it up. The minute you do, others will stop expecting you to.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20 You can’t figure out what’s going on because you’re in uncharted waters. Trying to get your bearings in a situation that has no precedent is a simple matter of remaining totally in the moment. You have to feel your way through this and trust yourself enough to know that the mistakes of the past have taught you everything you need to know about how to get through it. No one tells us that when we fall in love, once we get past a certain point, there is no map to the territory. This is where you are. Trust your experience and let your instincts be your guide.

LEO: July 21 – August 20 There is so much going on in your relationship area, it’s hard to know what to make of it. Karmic ties have brought you into involvements that are pretty complex. On the one hand you have so much in common, and there is enough love there to make it feel right. On the other hand, control issues and passive- aggressive behaviors make it obvious that things are a little messed up. Before you can do this consciously, the two of you need to sit down and get honest about what you’re doing here. Something is out of whack and there will be trouble in paradise until it gets fixed.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20 The way things are going, it seems as if you’re ready to start doing your own thing. You have any number of reasons for feeling this way. For some of you, it’s about knowing that it’s time to split – for others, it’s about knowing that you want to get on with your search for whatever it is that your purpose involves. This could mean having to be in two places at once, or juggling twice as much as you’re juggling now. The next few months will be busy with changes that will require a lot – but because this is what you truly want to be doing, you are raring to go.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20 You’re under a lot of pressure; issues with authority figures who remind you a lot of your dad are making you feel even more stressed out. When nothing flows it makes absolutely no sense to stiffen up and try to keep it all under control. You’re in a situation that requires you to be cool enough to move freely, and smart enough to figure out that whoever’s putting the pressure on is less intelligent than you are. Pull yourself together and do your best to play this game without losing yourself to the idea that winning it will require you to give all your power away.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20 With high hopes and all of the best intentions you’ve waltzed right into a hornet’s nest of responses that you were totally unprepared for. It’s always amazing to watch what happens when people decide to tell the truth. As much as you thought your little confession would clear things right up, all it did was toss a hand grenade into the lives of those who have as much, or more, invested in this than you do. No matter how you slice it, you are now confronted with your own misgivings, feeling vulnerable, and wondering how this emotional 52 pick-up will play out.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20 You’ve got an axe to grind with people who owe you something. For one reason or another, you’re pissed about the fact that they took no notice of all the time and energy you’ve put into this; and now you’re trying to get paid back. Instead of waiting for Hell to freeze over, why not just drop the whole thing and be wise enough to know that it all comes back, one way or another? The process of give and take is rarely cut and dried – and 90% of the time it involves so much more than meets the eye. Who knows? If this is a past life thing it may be time to call it even.

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20 This could be the calm before the storm. For many of you, it’s a time of rest and retreat into a few weeks of strength-gathering. Do everything in your power to enjoy the things that restore your soul; suck up as much nature as you can. A little peace is what you need, because life is due to intensify and you’re going to be back in the saddle before you know it. The next round of business will pose challenges that will require you to be more centered and clear than you’ve ever had to be in your life. Take a deep breath and imagine that you’re big enough to handle it.

REAL LYRICS

When a good thing goes bad it’s not the end of the world

It’s just the end of a world that you had with one girl
And she’s the reason it happened, but she’s overreacting
And it’s all because she don’t want things to change

CHORUS
So cry if you need to, but I can’t stay to watch you
That’s the wrong thing to do
Touch if you need to, but I can’t stay to hold you
That’s the wrong thing to do
Talk if you need to, but I can’t stay to hear you
That’s the wrong thing to do
Cause you’ll say you love me, and I’ll end up lying
And say I love you, too

But I need someone different…

REAL LYRICS

I can tell that money got you working

We been talking for so long, now we’re finally here in person

I taste pain and regret in your sweat

You’ve been waiting for me….

CAPRICORN: December 21 – January 20

You can be such a ball-buster. It’s time to back off and let people figure out how to crack their own whip. All that aside, you’ve got lessons to learn that revolve around getting over all of your control trips. It’s hard to know what to say to you. Instead of lecturing, I will tell you that you’ve got to let down the wall of denial that has you thinking you’re the one who’s got it all figured out. A little common sense will tell you, you wouldn’t be involved in this power struggle if you were right about everything. Hello! Soften up and open your heart enough to hear people out.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20

You have issues with someone, and possibly scores to settle that will require you to stay on top of every little thing. On some level I understand why you’re all wound up about this, but it never pays to bring too much pressure to bear on anything. Part of winning involves having the emotional intelligence to read people and make room for whatever it is that they’re hooked on. The difficulty lies in the fact that there’s a fine line between making room for people and losing your ground. A little psychology will pull you through this; in time, the truth will set you free.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20

Not to bring up a sore subject, but what about all those years of training? What about everything you’ve invested in this situation so far? The whole idea of investments, and what we do when we’re more concerned with what we have to fall back on than we are with what we have yet to create, has many of you torn between one thing and another. You can’t go back at this point. Instead of wringing your hands over what you think is wasted, trust life enough to know that what you let go of now will get picked up and woven back into the fabric of your life, later on.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20

You have let too many important people fall through the cracks. Any bridges that haven’t been burned are still open to reconstruction. You’re in the middle of an experience that is teaching you a lot about what you haven’t given enough to. Don’t let guilt and/or pride keep you from patching things up. Even you are aware that the ones who you’ve cast aside have much to give you, at a time when your spirit is dying for a breath of enlightenment. If apologies are in order, make them and get on with the business of restoring any old connection that gives you life.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20

You have the feeling you should have given this more thought. All of a sudden your life has been thrust into partnerships and cohabitations that contradict your needs for privacy. Waking up to the reality of what happens whenever we involve others in our affairs will inevitably force you to rearrange the ‘give and take’ in all of your relationships; including the one with yourself. Don’t let close proximity and expectation make you think that you’ve got to care about anything as much as you do about the things that deepen your connection to that which floats your boat.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20

No one can figure out how you do it. You are a wizard at knowing exactly what’s going on and can handle more information input than the average human being. Caught up in multiplicity, you’re like a switchboard. As much as this supports your life on many different levels, the one thing you have to watch out for are the ways in which having too much to do erases any possibility of dealing with the mess you’re in now. At a time when some of your heavier-duty issues are popping out of the closet, you might want to focus your attention where it counts.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20

Patience is a virtue. You’re having a hard time being OK with the way things are. It’s like all of this perfection is too much for you –either that or you weren’t expecting it to look this way. Get a grip on yourself and do your best to lose your high school pictures of what life and love are all about. Times have changed. We’re in a whole new ball game. If you want this to go the way you want it to, you’ve got to chill out and act like you know better than to get all wound up about how uncertain things feel. Take your time and let them turn into something even better than this.

LEO: July 21 – August 20

You didn’t come here to live a simple or trivial life. This idea has been swimming around in your head long enough for you to be ready for a change. And it looks like you’re right on top of a big one. I can’t tell you how it’s going to turn out, but I can tell you that it’s safe to let yourself go and allow something to transform what has gotten too small. You may not be as sure as you would like to be about going for it. If there are a million reasons for this, I totally understand, but it’s time to trade your security trips in for a life that vibrates at a much higher frequency.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20

You can’t be sure how things will come together between now and whatever happens next. If you’re going nuts about the fact that nothing is clear, it’s totally OK not to have a plan. There are also larger forces at work – and it looks like they know more about where you’re going. Once you lose the need to have absolute certainty, you’ll notice how much better it feels to let life teach you how to move with it instead of expecting it to move with you. Take a deep breath. The most recent changes in your life have occurred to give you space and time to connect with yourself.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20

Who needs to be the one to take care of this? It may not be you this time. Before you decide to step in and save the day, you need to remind yourself that the reason it keeps being necessary is because you don’t know when to quit. For many of you, other people’s issues and expectations have got too much to say about who you are and what you do. Pull yourself together and start telling anyone who keeps needing too much from you to take care of themselves – or better yet, step out of the picture long enough for them to realize that you aren’t their flunky.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20

You would love it if you could just chill out and relax about this. You are absolutely right in having the sense to stop obsessing over it. Something clicked and you’ve realized that you’ve been making stuff up in your head and convincing yourself that it’s true, and all this nervous tension is your own intensity getting too wound up. A good massage might be in order. Or you can just sit back and feel safe knowing that you’re 100% clear that everything works out for the best and whether others come around or they don’t is of absolutely no consequence to you.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20

The pressure to change is coming from within and without; it depends on how willing you are to see yourself. Something in you knows that all of your efforts to get around this won’t get you anywhere until you’re clear that you have nothing to lose. The problem is, you’ve invested everything you have into establishing something that was supposed to yield more than it has. If you’re 100% honest, you will see that the original plan took a turn and is now either irrelevant or impossible to achieve. Don’t sell yourself short by refusing to read the writing on the wall.
