SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20 The relationship area is lit up like a flame. For better or worse you are reckoning with this situation with no certainty whatsoever. Recent upsets have turned the tables in a way that has you doing whatever you can to find yourself. This is an old story that won't get solved overnight. No matter how things look at the moment this is exactly the way it's supposed to be. Your job is to make it through this gauntlet without avoiding the issues that have made everything so complicated. The way things pan out depends entirely on your willingness to face the truth.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20 If you had a clue about how big this really is you would flip out. Sometimes it's best to be in the dark about what's really going on. Keep your shoulder to the wheel and your heart in a place that can live with the amount of pressure you're under. There are bound to be forces that get in your face over the next few weeks. Don't let anyone or anything tell you what to do, where to go, or who to be. You've done enough work on yourself to know what you want. Bring yourself back to center and focus on it. This vineyard you've been tending is just about ready to turn water into wine.

CAPRICORN: December 21 - January 20 You are reeling from the after effects of loss and failure. It'll take a while 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. At the end of the day 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.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20 After a whole lot of changes that have totally turned you around, don't be too quick to assume that you have a clue about what's going on. This has got to be a little nuts. For many of you the sense of exhilaration is overriding the up and down-ness of things, just enough to keep you all afloat. As things settle into a pattern, it will be your work that fills you with joy. Out of that many things will come together, in ways that make it easier, not just for you, but for others to connect with who they need to be. You are in a good zone. Everything appears to be on its way up.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20 If the practical decisions are enough to curl your hair, the internal questions are even more convoluted. Between the two you've got to be wondering why it's your job to make it all look like a piece of cake. Your own life is nestled in the middle of all of this, and that is a whole other story. For many of you, sinking or swimming may involve another move. It could also involve letting go of a piece of real estate. Lots of stories are coming to an end. It's as if the present is at a mile stone. As the seasons change, you will be better prepared to see where things need to go.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20 You have more incentive than ever. Whatever it takes for you to connect with your aim is the only thing that matters. Don't think too much about what it will take to bring what looks like your whole life, to a place where it meets its apex. You won't get anywhere by letting minor rifts mess this up. Others have good reasons for keeping their distance. This is one of those times when a creative separation could serve everyone better than any effort to reconnect. Focus on your work. Stay tuned to the idea that this is part of the journey that you have to make on your own.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20 You can't expect people to keep a lid on their feelings. This situation is too explosive for anyone to remain detached. Out of everyone, you are the one who should be able to see this. Your own issues and feelings are strong enough to require a reliable sounding board, or at least some means of expression. At rock bottom this is all about a conflict of interest that could be easily resolved if everyone involved would just get whatever's going on in their mind, off of their chest. A simple heart-to-heart-talk is sometimes all it takes to see that there is plenty of room for love.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20 What seemed like the answer to all of your prayers just blew up in your face. The shock was one of those necessary things that happened just to get you out of Fairy Land into a more realistic sense of what’s really going on. What you aren’t too happy about looks like more truth than you could handle. Learn to live with it. And if you can find a way to translate it into something you can take total responsibility for you will see that this is just the way it is. What came in the form of betrayal is in fact an opportunity for you to look at yourself and figure out why it had to happen.

8 of 12

CANCER: June 21 – July 20 You have more than one reason to celebrate. Depending on your situation, there could be beginnings or endings that are giving you cause to go "Whoo-hoo"! In a few months all of this will settle into something you can recognize. At the moment you are still overwhelmed and too moved by the way things have opened up to think about where they are going. In some cases you can only go higher. For others, time could easily reveal enough truth to show you that success is ultimately dependent on integrity and the extent to which we are willing to get out of the way.

LEO: July 21 – August 20 Looking at what happens to us when it comes time to reinvent ourselves, you see that there's nothing wrong with the old way of doing things. Whatever you’ve learned can definitely be taken with you. But enough has changed in the last few years for you to adjust half of what it has taught you; because you are no longer the same person, and none of the same rules apply. Stretch your limits to include all points of view and all possibilities. This is one of those times when your life depends upon your willingness to let your pictures make way for something even better.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20 You just woke up to things that have been simmering in the background forever. Now that everything is loud and clear you are living with a whole new set of circumstances. Little did you know how much people and their dramas were testing your limits and taxing your energy. The idea that you need as much space as the next person will free you up to bring your life up to speed, not just with your work but with yourself. As the dust settles on things that you have finally come to Jesus with, the strength that got sucked up by everyone else will be yours again.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20 Maybe you need to rethink this. The decision to stay or go could be turned into something else altogether if you could figure out what it is you really want. It looks to me like lines need to be drawn. You also need to make it clear that you’re unwilling to play games. If whoever’s on the receiving end can hear it, you might be surprised to find out that they’re willing to bend. Whatever the outcome the need for change is crawling out of the woodwork and you’re going to have to go for it regardless of whether or not others choose to grow along with you.
