ARIES: March 21 - April 20: You can’t wring your hands in despair and expect to stay on track. Lessons that have taken more than one lifetime may be tough but, it’s like having a baby – you’re the only one who can do this. In the end what appears to be too much to bear will give birth to something finer and more meaningful than the pain that brought it forth. Do what you can to find that strength within and don’t go looking for answers outside of your self. You’ve known for a while what this is all about – it’s time to suit up and deal with it.

TAURUS: April 21 - May 20: So much has changed and as difficult as it has been for you to roll with the punches you have done it with a lot of grace and panache. There is nothing wrong with any of the things that have happened. Even though much of it doesn’t fit your pictures of what you thought was going to happen, believe it or not this is exactly where you need to be. If in your mind you think it should be any other way you won’t be able to reconcile any of it. Letting go of your judgments will give you a better perspective on where you’re at now.

GEMINI: May 21 - June 20: You have been getting a lot of great feedback about a lot of things. For so long you couldn’t take your self seriously but now that others are saying, “Hey, you’re really good at what you do”, you can actually see it your self. The choice you’ve made to take the road less traveled has turned out to be a good thing. You can expect the universe to keep responding in a positive way as long as you stay on it. My sense is you’ve just woken up to what you really came here to do and life is giving you a big green light.

CANCER: June 21 - July 20: You are processing all kinds of stuff amidst a lot of busy work. All this outer activity is symbolic. As you patch your life together with your heart and hands your mind is free to make sense out of things that never made sense until now. You’re also noticing that those close to you are changing in ways that are pleasantly surprising. Do you see how rearranging your perspective has created such positive shifts in the world and the people around you? Sit back and enjoy the fruits of all your internal and external labors.

LEO: July 21 - August 20: You’re clear that something is wrong but your conscious mind is in denial about it. You keep trying to put your fears aside but they crop up in cycles to drive you crazy. No one close to you is able to be truthful – they don’t want to lie but they’re afraid of what hearing the truth will stir up in you. Betrayal is one of those things that comes down the pike now and then. Others aren’t happy about having to hide things but they can’t honor their own truth if they don’t. Hopefully one day you will see and accept it.

VIRGO: August 21 - September 20: You may be leading a double life. One part of you is emotionally attached to something you can’t have and another part of you is resigned to settling for what you do have. Why there isn’t more of a sense of balance and fulfillment has to do with what you believe you deserve. Older patterns fuel this discrepancy. If you could crack them open your life would look more like you want it to look. Ask your self if you can let go of the fears that keep you stuck repeating this drama and face them as soon as you’re ready.

LIBRA: September 21 - October 20: In spite of the fact that you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop things have been fantastic. The fear that you might backslide into old patterns is greater than any possibility that you will. You should give your self more credit for what you’ve learned from the past and from the experiences that served to teach you. Part of you is impatient and you’re wondering inside what’s next. Before the new order can come into being you have to give it time to germinate. Pushing things won’t make them grow any faster.

SCORPIO: October 21 - November 20: You know for sure that you were cut out for something different. This is becoming more and more apparent to you. It will soon be necessary for you to move or leave a situation or change your internal perspective considerably. Don’t fool your self into thinking that things will continue. If you recognize the need for change and prepare the groundwork for it now, in a few months when this shift hits, you won’t get blindsided by it. Don’t wait, or refuse to listen to what your inner voices are saying. Heed them closely.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 - December 20: Delays continue to plague you. If you weren’t so furiously busy with your work this would be driving you crazy. It seems that those close to you are expecting a lot and you’re doing your best to help them. Wouldn’t it be nice if they had as much sympathy for you? Being the strong one is hard when inside you feel like it’s taking everything you’ve got to keep it together. Let your hair down and unload as much as you have to with someone you trust. You’re under too much internal pressure to keep it all in.

CAPRICORN: December 21 - January 20: You haven’t really figured out what you came here for. It seems as if you're stuck living out old notions of what a person like you is supposed to be doing. Expanding your sense of who you are in the world will involve opening up even more to matters of spirit. It may even be useful for you to pursue formal and/or informal educational interests that bring you into areas of study that you’ve never thought about before. Reflect on what it is that you really wish you could do and start to believe that you were meant to do it.

AQUARIUS: January 21 - February 20: Someone thinks they have the right to tell you how to run your life when the truth is it’s none of their business. You deserve a break. It might even be time to hit the road for good. If you take off even for a little while you might wake up and realize what really matters. Leave your partner at home whatever you do this week. They’ve gotten to be more of a pain in the neck and are acting too much like one of your parents to have any fun with. More spontaneity would improve everything. Stop acting like such a grown-up!

PISCES: February 21 - March 20: You have been rushing into something without too much thought. And the baggage from the past is nipping at your heels. Before you can really see where you’re at there are a few loose ends to process. Pretending that you’re cool with everything is a great form of denial. Whatever feels fine at the moment will only fill the void temporarily. It’s wonderful to be so clear about everything but there’s so much that you’re just not looking at, the old problems are bound to resurface and start causing trouble again.
