Horoscopes Feb 22-28

ARIES; March 21 - April 20

You're being taken advantage of in some way and you have no control over this. All you can do right now is maintain faith in the fact that all of this is happening for a reason. Family issues are at the heart of the matter. You will see more clearly into the situation this week. Being sincere and remaining true to your self is essential but don't be naïve about what others are capable of. The compulsions in their lives are more compelling than their sense of loyalty to you. Expect the worst and hope for the best.

TAURUS; April 21 - May 20

You have a lot at stake. Something is brewing and you can sense it. Others are not being up front about their motives and desires and there is a big danger of being caught in the cross fire of someone's obsessive-compulsive behavior. You have some competition and are feeling extremely vulnerable. Befriending your enemies is the best tactic but it won't necessarily stop them from doing what they're going to do. It's hope less to want to keep things the way they are. Fate is about to deal you a heavy blow.

GEMINI; May 21 - June 20

You can hang on and keep praying that those you love will see the light. Your life is in the hands of a force that is much bigger than you are. It would be wonderful if you could express your true feelings. Part of you knows that won't make a difference and another part of you wonders if it will. It may be time to put everything on the line. Life is short and the time for playing games is over. My hunch is that if you can summon the strength to expose your deepest desires those close to you will respond in a positive way.

CANCER; June 21 - July 20

It's time to bring your life up to speed. You can't live on the strength of your past achievements. That was then and this is now. Things have changed drastically. Facing what's real about your current situation will help you come to a new beginning. Whatever you've been doing up to this point is about to blossom into something totally different. Moving on will require you to take your inspiration from a different quarter. Don't be afraid to redefine your self. You can't continue to grow through the old venue.

LEO; July 21 - August 20

You've been busy playing both ends to the middle. We all have to do what's expedient sometimes. You've made some really stupid choices recently and are about to find out what happens when you invite low-lifes into your world. Scam artists and others with little or no integrity are everywhere. Paying dearly for your indiscretions and finding out how much it costs to lower your standards is a powerful theme. Long-standing problems are bound to erupt. Don't be too shocked at the results of poor judgment.

VIRGO; August 21 - September 20

 Your choices are so unclear and you are being driven by feelings that are way too powerful. Reconnecting to your center should be a daily routine because your passion could take you way out on a limb. Be mindful of the fact that this is a repeat scenario. You can handle it differently this time and make it so that everyone wins or you can blow everything sky-high. Others are feeling this as strongly as you are. It wouldn't take much for them to step over the line. Whatever happens, everything is up to you at this point.

LIBRA; September 21 - October 20

 Your thoughts have wings right now and they're pretty potent. There's so much tension around family/relationship issues what people aren't talking about is what needs to be addressed. The job situation is up in the air. What looked like a good thing might not be and you are struggling to maintain harmony in a situation that is stressful at best. Being too concerned with money or too caught up in your obligations to others is a huge trap. Think more about your self this week and base your choices on what works for you.

SCORPIO; October 21 - November 20

 How many times have you been down this road? If experience is the greatest teacher then you haven't learned your lessons. Instead of getting down on your self for screwing things up take the opportunity to try a different approach. Whatever you're afraid of isn't half as scary as what will happen if you keep this up! The energy for change is pretty volatile and part of you knows that overturning the status quo will throw you into the great void. You have so little to lose at this point it may be your only option.

SAGITTARIUS; November 21 - December 20

 You can't be too concerned with what other people think. Sticking to your plan is going to make a lot of people angry but in the end it will be worthwhile. Your living situation is about to be upset. All you need right now is one more thing to think about but you've opened the door and it's too late to close it. Setting real boundaries in all of your relationships is essential. People will only feel entitled to use you if you allow it. Redefining what you expect from them will save you tons of grief.

CAPRICORN; December 21 - January 20

 You've allowed yourself to be defined by what someone else expects from you. Giving your power away doesn't make sense. It's ironic that you would give others so much slack because you're the one with all the power here! Shift your focus off of what they want and start thinking more in terms of what's important to you. It will definitely make waves but it will also get them to see that you deserve more respect. In the long run you will benefit from putting your foot down and being more assertive.

AQUARIUS; January 21 - February 20

Things are so up in the air you haven't seen "normal" in quite some time. Thank God you're not the type who is bothered by a lot of change. It's more important for you to create a sense of equilibrium for others so that they can feel safe regardless of what's happening. Nothing will settle down right away. Old relationship issues are still in high focus. Whoever you're obsessed with won't go away. You'd be better off keeping your distance but it'll be hard to avoid people who insist on being in your face this week.

PISCES; February 21 - March 20

 Matters of trust are huge right now. You're either extremely vulnerable or totally paranoid. Don't alienate people who could serve as allies. If you have time get everything out in the open this week. A little conversation will clear things up and allow both of you to realize that you agree. Any one who knows you well can see that you're off center in some way. Stop pretending that everything's OK and fall apart if you have to. It's no crime to lose it now and then. A good melt down would definitely clear the air.
