ARIES: March 21 – April 20
In the middle of a "pregnant pause" the issue of where to go from here is one of those things that your will can't be forced upon. If it's driving you crazy, I understand. In your world, the need to take action can be overwhelming. So maybe there's a lesson to be learned, and something new to consider. In the emptiness of waiting, there is a huge amount of creativity. Right now it's your job to figure out what that looks like and give yourself the opportunity to find the answer to your question in the nothingness that fills everything. Stay cool. Be patient. Your next move is a few weeks away.
TAURUS: April 21 – May 20
Everything is over the top. How you handle things is up to you, but this is one of those times when you need to prioritize. There is a big difference between mundane stuff and matters of life and death. Others play a big role in these decisions. What you are looking forward to may have to be canceled or put aside for the time being. The prospect of a move is all over this. Settle down long enough to ground yourself and get centered in whatever the truth involves. When the stakes are high, and the sword of Damocles is hanging over your head, there is no room for weakness.
GEMINI: May 21 – June 20
You can count your lucky stars because you've got a ton of what I call "Angelic backup" keeping an explosive situation from boiling over. High levels of protection at a time when you need it most will see you come out of your present trials smelling like a rose. If you wonder about this, review the events of the last month or so and ask yourself why you're still standing. The next few weeks are pivotal, so keep your nose to the grindstone and don't sink into overconfidence. The fates are on your side and ready to help you weave your way through a very challenging time.
CANCER: June 21 – July 20
You know exactly what needs to happen, but you're not sure how to get it to work. It's always good to sweep the floor before you start anything new, so settle up with whoever or whatever you haven't dealt with, and lay a strong foundation. The better part of getting anything done lies in the doing of it. Too much talk and too many plans delay things that evolve out of what the work at hand involves. Once you understand that your next project has a life of its own, you'll be able to step aside and let the deeper part of your being allow it to come into manifestation.
LEO: July 21 – August 20
Nobody expected this to be easy. Every time we get involved with one or more people, things get complicated. If your visions of perfection, or the idea that things ought to go in a straight line, are out of synch with your experience, it's because you've forgotten how important it is to go with the flow. The straight line that you envision has nothing to do with the lessons that are on your plate at the moment. In any crisis, the best approach often turns out to be the one that tells us to become like water. Stop beating your head against the rocks; learn how to flow around them.
VIRGO: August 21 – Sept. 20
You can't fix things that fell apart a long time ago, overnight. As much as you see the error of your ways and would love to make amends, it takes two to tango. For now things will work out better if you hold this wish in your heart and give everyone involved as much time as they need to let go of the past. In the meantime, keep your focus on things that uplift your spirit and find ways to forgive yourself for whatever didn't go right. What we learn from our mistakes changes us. Rome wasn't built in a day. Keep the love alive; sooner or later it will rise up high enough to turn the tide.
LIBRA: Sept. 21 – Oct. 20
When things change, everything that was held in place prior to that moment has to go along with the program, or fall away. Your current situation is loaded with themes that have you wondering why the landscape keeps rearranging itself. Things that you never thought you would have to deal with have brought you to the point where leaps of faith and a willingness to trust people and things that are new and different will form the jumping-off place for what comes next. At times like this it's safe to ask yourself "What have you got to lose?" so just drop the reins and let go.
SCORPIO: Oct. 21 – Nov. 20
You are laughing at yourself for wondering if this was the right idea; look at what you've created! With nothing but a good sense of intuition, you've been able to remove yourself from a situation just in the nick of time. If you'd waited even a day longer, you'd be stuck with something that you couldn't get out of. Now that you're free and clear, do you wonder what made you see the light? What we call "luck" is really just the ability to trust your inner voice 100% of the time. You've seen what can be done. Keep listening to that voice; it's never wrong.
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 21 – Dec. 20
With so much ready to come to fruition, you'd do well to keep your head on straight. When life lays the red carpet out in front of us, it's easy to get over-inflated and fall prey to the ego and its tricks. Faced with two choices, one involves a lot of fanfare and the chance to hob-nob with some fancy-dancy types; the other would hook you up with a chance to get down to business and do your own thing. Either choice will work. This is where the ego could trip you up. Your ability to tell the truth about "why" you choose one thing over another matters more than anything right now.
CAPRICORN: Dec. 21 – Jan. 20
I don't need to tell you that you're in the crosshairs of a big change. If whatever is going to happen would fall into place sooner, rather than later, that would be preferable. At this point, what has been going on for far too long is starting to wear thin. Nevertheless, there is a message in this madness and it has something to do with losing the need to keep everything neat and tidy, and loosening up enough to just do what you love. Others keep raising a ruckus that makes this hard to accomplish. Learn to live with this. It is part of the lesson. Little by little, it will begin to make sense.
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21 – Feb. 20
You have too much going on to get caught up with other people's dramas. Stay focused and avoid anyone who comes around wanting to drag you into their psychological turmoil. It sounds harsh, I know, but let them face their own demons and trust the fact that by the time you are in the mood to listen to their tale of woe, their issues will have blown over. Big doings are bubbling up in your work area. With so much hanging over your head, you'd be wise to hold steady and be as circumspect as you can in the face of lesser mortals who are totally lacking in integrity.
PISCES: Feb. 21 – March 20
Something just clicked and you have come to terms with the fact that it's time to stop playing games and move on. This epiphany could relate to a relationship, or to any situation that has seen better days. These things are always hard to come to terms with. We hassle ourselves for not "sticking to it," forgetting that everything has a life span, and "nothing gold can stay." Some of you have something to go back to. Others are teetering on the edge of uncertainty. Either way, you're closing the book on what seemed like a good idea at the time so that the next chapter can begin.
