Aries
March 20 - April 20
Tangibility seems to be where it’s at for you right now. What
you have, what you can do, where you can pioneer and explore and
how it can provide some solid experiences. This is also a time where
should be taking a good look at the resources you do have and determining
how they relate to what you’re doing in life now.
This is a time where you may be feeling that there
are no signposts as to where or how you should be applying your
experience or any secure understanding about the choices you need
to make for your life’s direction. Listening to your intuition
is the key NOT your instinct. Instinct supports the envelope of
security. Intuition supports the thrilling and scary aspect of growing
beyond our boundaries. This is a time of trusting your innermost
urges. Take a different route to work. Try a different daily routine.
Eat at a different establishment. Try a new food. What ever you
do, try something new.
Between now and December take care of any health
issues that you have been putting off. And you know that you tell
yourself one more hour, one more job, one more mile before you let
yourself take care of your personal needs. If you don’t, what
you put off now will ground you where you’ll have to acknowledge
it at some point after December.
If there is any learning or vocational training
available for your career, now is the time to pursue it. It will,
invariably, connect you, in some unexpected way, with different
cultures, cuisines, philosophies or religions. Relish the opportunities.
It can open many new doors to more than just your career. For the
past three years you have felt a bit like an odd ball; aware of
being different and frustrated as how to apply what you’ve
experienced and are aware of. This may have made you feel more “independent”
or more like keeping to yourself. When you connect with whatever
education has become available to you the pieces should gradually
fall into place. Your “path” should gain a little more
clarity. If you become elite or discriminatory about perceiving
yourself differently you will lose your direction due to ego involvement.
It’s hard for an Aries to think of themselves as being connected
to or part of the masses. You fancy yourself to be unique, a pioneer.
Think about this. It’s important to your personal development.
As of March 26th you have been clearer in your
understanding of what you have to do to progress. Some of the old
requirements have bitten the dust. It’s time to take a new
“tact” and trim your sails for a new form of expression.
Don’t worry. You are still the pioneer. You’ll just
have a better opportunity to bring it back to and show the “common”
man. You’ve always done things differently. You just shouldn’t
get a “swelled head” about it!
Taurus
April 20 - May 21
Earning an income from more than one source is a viable option for
you now. Just make sure that any communications associated with
those positions is clean, clear and examines both sides of every
situation. You want to be as certain as possible that you miss nothing.
But, everything rates at least a precursory look. Also remember
that just because an option doesn’t exactly fit your idea
of what is necessary doesn’t mean that it won’t be necessary
down the road. Stay aware as to why some things come to you even
though they don’t fit your expectations. The universe sometimes
works in an undisclosed fashion. Right now you may have a lot of
support from others but just not recognize it.
Examine your motivations for your desires. If you
are reacting to a challenge or feel the need to “prove someone
wrong” you may put yourself in an untenable situation. You
must leave them and yourself a “place to stand” otherwise
you will have to “eat a lot of crow” before you can
come back to peace in the relationship. Why do you want what you
want? Is your heart talking to you or are you just listening to
the chatter of others reinforcing your need to feel secure? Might
they be jealous or afraid that you may become successful and they
might have to learn to deal with you differently? Many times following
your heart is not what others expect or wish for you. They may also
not have the courage to be different by not following the “status
quo.” The majority may be where your survival and material
support comes from but the path less traveled may be where you find
the most peace and creativity. This is a very hard choice and everyone
has to face it sometime. If you “sell out” at least
be clear as to why you’re doing it.
When you invest in the resources of others you
will gain the best support. Choose who you support carefully. How
do you feel about what they’re doing? If you do the same thing
will you respect yourself at the end of the day? The “carrot”
on a string can become a prison that’s self constructed. Life
for you right now, Taurus, is a compromise. What will you have to
sacrifice to “get” what you want? Life is not just about
your tangible resources. This is a major Taurean theme. Consider
carefully.
Watch what you say. Some of the most unexpected
things will pop out of your mouth before you realize it. Some people
call these Freudian slips. They have a place in the larger scheme
of things. It’s your unconscious attempting to clear the way
for a change. The watching is not advised in a sense of censoring
but of recognizing what it is that’s coming out of your unconscious.
This will give you tremendous insight as to what drives you and
why.
Traditional issues and family responsibilities
have really been difficult for you for the last two tears. You may
have found that as of April 19th the pressure seems to have lifted
a bit. Take it as a sign that you’re nearing the end of the
ordeal. By the beginning of September the changes should be completed.
Make sure your family rapport is where you want it to be by that
time. You’ll have a lot more difficulty changing it if you
don’t.
Lastly, be of service to your abilities and your personal needs
more than to your bank account. In the long run you will find that
your health and well being will be needed more as your direction
shifts down a more unexpected path. Especially, after September.
Gemini
May 21 - June 21
If you have any contracts or issues that require specific communications
have them finished, or at least in a solid, agreed upon place, before
June 15th. If you can’t do so before then DO NOT do so until
after July 10th. Right now you are very quick on the uptake and
can see both sides of any issue. Don’t let seeing both sides
prevent you from deciding on a course of action. This vision is
there just to keep you aware of where the consequences will lead
not to clutter your reasoning ability. Additionally, you know you
have a habit of not listening too well since you’re, more
often than not, busy speaking. Make an extra effort to stop and
to hear what another is saying, not just waiting for the pause for
breath and the words that will trigger your next “explanation.”
If you must speak with any intensity it would be a great time to
write that you have in mind. Since you are seeing both sides of
issues more clearly now explanation and exposure would work best
in the written word. Whether it’s a journal or a novel just
write! As we move closer to the 3rd of September, make yourself
aware of any possibilities for moving, figuratively or literally,
and changing the way you relate to your home and family. The responsibilities
there will certainly come to the forefront and you had best have
an idea of how you want to handle things. Learn to be your own forecaster
and depend on your own information. If you wait until circumstances
are upon you before you decide on how to act, your options will
be severely limited by the passage of earlier opportunities. You
will find yourself between a rock and a hard place. If this becomes
so your relations with your siblings will become strained at best.
Tackle small jobs when they’re small. Then, the work is at
a minimum. Wait and you’ll have a tiger by the tail. When
we get to mid December, all family, home and tradition issues will
find a new resting place. Everything you’ve been doing since
the summer will show
its value then. January 2008 will bring all legacy, insurance, inheritance
and outside resource issues to a head. If you’ve been planning
and adapting with your eyes open since the summer, everything will
just seem to fall into place. Perhaps by then you won’t feel
so much like and orphan like you have all year. Your key for this
year is to listen to your own counsel from the silence within your
heart NOT everyone else’s wordy information. Be quiet for
a change. You might find that you enjoy it.
Cancer
June 21 - July 23
Making career changes finished June 25th. Now it’s time to
look at what resources and benefits it will give you. Don’t
be afraid to take a gamble. Cancers are usually the least risk oriented
but you need to give a little to get a little. There should be no
more major changes for a few years
You may be feeling a bit depressed of late as you
take stock of your abilities, disabilities and assets. How you judge
yourself should be going through and overhaul. The depression should
abate around the beginning of July. Don’t be too proud to
let someone else take the driver’s seat. You don’t need
to control everything and you won’t be in debt to them. Checks
and balances are very important to you and you watch them closely.
You know who owes you and who you owe. Loosen your tie, lean back
and allow the current to carry you. Everything will come out in
the wash
.
Health issues and environmental issues are a little exaggerated
right now but the pressure will abate around the beginning of August.
They will finish or, at least, come to a stable point in the beginning
of December. Be careful about your feet and back especially in the
first week of October. You will have a tendency to stretch yourself
past your limits. If you do it mindlessly you will hurt yourself.
On or about August 22nd you may have to deal with
some authority issues. Just make sure you are following the appropriate
rules, dotting your Is and crossing your Ts. It may also require
some financial considerations. Additionally, of there are any financial
contracts in effect this may be the time they are completed or terminated.
Be prepared for some form of closure there.
As we get closer to the December holiday be prepared
for some changes dealing with siblings and perhaps your transportation.
It could be anything from mechanical problems to a new car. It will
vary depending on each person. At any rate it will be older issues
resurfacing…car or siblings.
Mercury or communication issues will become clearer
after July 10th. Mercury’s retrograde creates havoc with any
communications issues. That could be anything from a malfunctioning
computer to misunderstandings between people.
All in all, this promises to be a quiet month in
spite of the holiday season. Take your time. Do what you need to
do and enjoy your summer.
Leo
July 23 - August 23
The end of a very difficult two and a half years is coming to an
end as of September. There have been many difficult lessons involving
structure, restriction and responsibility. Your attitude toward
authority has gone through a shift. Hopefully it is for the better.
The opportunity has been for being a lot more grounded in how you
do things provided your pride stays out of the way. This has also
be a determining time for career efforts and your ability to set
a solid foundation for the years to come. Be patient just a while
longer. You’re almost through the tunnel. Whatever shifted
in April will now be culminated in September. Make certain your
career and anything structured is where you want it before then.
If you have any issues involving Dad, and most Leos do, they will
have an opportunity to get on a better footing than they have been.
The most important change, here, is any approval seeking attitude
you may have toward him. Whether you seek his or you want him to
seek yours, it’s important to realize that you must first
approve of yourself. If this is in place then you will feel free
to do what you want when you want to. Your actions will feel free
of any subliminal coercion or form of reactive behavior. Use him
as a preferred or unpreferred example for how you want to proceed.
In this way your motivations and actions will remain “clean”
relative to your conscience.
At this point you may also be looking for ways to have fun since
you are completing a difficult time and, up til now, it’s
been almost impossible to do so. Anything of an artistic or creative
nature would be a great way to invest your time and energy. In participating
in creative events with other people you will meet others with common
interests. These people are the most fertile ground for new or just
beginning relationships. Since your expectations of others, over
the last two years, has been pummeled to a minimum you will be more
open and accepting of alternative approaches to life while being
more tolerant of behavior different from what you would normally
expect. This is a great time for personal growth.
Please make certain that your current life style supports your health
and well being. In this way your resources will keep supporting
you in a consistent manner. Assess carefully what you have to work
with. You may find that working in a service of some sort will keep
you in touch with them more than a direct “money making”
approach to things.
Virgo
August 23 - September 23
The house of the unconscious is loaded with participants. Decisions,
responsibilities, communication and feelings are all coming from
beneath the surface now. Keep a close watch on what comes out of
your mouth. Is it reactive (unconscious) or is it something that
you have thought through before you release it? This is working
in conjunction with your sensitivity to your environment and your
health. It’s almost like you feel that you’re on a see-saw
and unable to get off. Right now physical exercise can be used to
blow off the pressure but you must also take some quiet time to
see what is attempting to surface. If you don’t the pressure
will continue to build and you will begin to see others as your
opposition and snap at them. This won’t do much for the connection
to friends and lovers, especially, if you can use the insight to
see yourself.
At least until September ninth your concerns will be directed toward
health and work issues. How you come across in these areas will
depend on what kind of action or inaction to perform. You have the
ability to see well beneath the surface of others’ communication.
The trick is, will you be paranoid and take it personally or will
you be able to use it to understand their motivations and plan your
actions with the better insight? This is a good time to extract
learned childhood behaviors and reprogram them with your new understandings.
Relationships may seem to be a bit distant now. You have the ability
to verbalize what’s beneath the surface. This may seem to
be surprising and a bit threatening to many people. They are, most
likely, not aware of what you hear or feel coming from beneath their
awareness. They are mostly asleep at the wheel. It’s like
when we drive to work and don’t know how we got there. There
is an instinctive understanding, on your part, of where someone’s
actions are, inevitably, going to lead. The hard part is dealing
with their reactions to what it is that you tell them. Just drop
the seeds and move on. If you attempt to get acknowledgement you,
most likely, will be responded to with denial and sometimes worse!
If you have a desire or propensity for writing, after September
ninth it will be easier to begin. Perhaps a journal to get you started
with the pattern of writing and then growing into short articles
that might be more of an interest to the public. Your insights could
be quite profound for many who need a “birds eye view.”
Libra
September 23 - October 23
We begin the month with low energy due to the eclipse. Any issues
that could be preparatory to new relationships should be attended
to in their most discriminatory manner. Clean up any left over squabbles,
let go of petty grievances and ask yourself what is needed to be
a whole and accountable person. When I say accountable I refer to
being responsible, solely, for your own actions and inactions. What
others think or feel is NOT our business! Our minds and activities,
especially now, will lead us into social situations more than usual
so remain as open and flexible as possible. Do not feel self conscious
about trying out new behaviors to see if they benefit you. I’m
not referring to being deceptive but use different approaches to
old patterns and step back and observe yourself while you do. Play
new roles to see how they feel. This is the time to experiment.
This will further develop your ability to handle yourself in different
scenarios. You have nothing to lose!
In the long run, prepare yourself for a possible move or change
in living arrangements. This should culminate on or before January
of 2008. If there is any “exploring” you need to do
before you move NOW is the time to begin. Accumulate information,
reservations and impressions before you’re pressed to the
wire. If you have been feeling the press to move before now and
you’ve begun getting the show on the road already; all the
better. It just means you’re a little more sensitive to the
flow of things than most. Stay plugged in. There are plenty of opportunities
for growth on the horizon.
If you have any artistic leanings (and most Libras do) now is the
time to pursue them in earnest. This is not so much for what they
will bring to you in rewards or accomplishment but for the creativity
it will enable you to release through them. This will fill out your
awareness of who you are and can be. Since Libra is a sign that
operates on the principle of resistance (reaction and rebellion)
it’s important that you pursue your creativity as a joy in
bringing something into creation rather than a response to a need
or situation. Remember, YOU are a creator too! You’ll know
it’s creative when you do it, solely, for your own pleasure.
What others think is not important.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
How you come across to people will be of major consequence to you
now whether you say you care or not. This month you will tend to
be more emotional than usual…and show it. You may even feel
as if your reactions are triggered by others and almost out of your
control. This means both sides of the coin become visible. If you’re
upset, that will show as well as when you are joyful. The Scorpio
“deadpan” stares will be much harder to maintain.
If there are romantic or artistic endeavors that you feel inclined
to partake in now is the time that they can be fueled by your feelings.
You’re sure to get a truthful rendition of what ever feelings
you put out there. You may find that being out in the open may work
for you from time to time. This is a good time to test that and
see. This time will also enable you to be much more spontaneous
even though you usually don’t give in to urges unless they’ve
been scrutinized for possible vulnerability to others.
There is a lot of analyzing past encounters and conversations with
others now. Your excellent ability to assess others, now, will give
you a tremendous edge in gauging others’ honesty and potential.
If you are a counselor you will find you’re much more on the
mark than in the past. Keep a tight reign on your conscience and
you’ll be able to encourage others toward tremendous growth
and breakthroughs.
Personally, there is a difficult side to deal with right now. You
seem to be in touch with what others need and want more than ever
but you may find it extremely difficult to zero in on what you need
and want with any clarity. Most of these circumstances are based
on relationships of one sort or another. Understanding what is felt
is one thing. Putting it into words is another. You may find that
the words just spew from your mouth before you have a chance to
assess your safety. It’s like you’ve become “motor
mouth” and have no governor for what comes out. This is a
function of your spontaneity. It’s like you’re releasing
pressure so you can regain a sense of equilibrium. Go with this
even though it may feel very disconcerting. It’s like your
unconscious is producing “Freudian slips” so you can
get past some of your own defenses that are too “locked”
in place to allow new growth. Go with it. You certainly have the
courage to do so. You just need the trust that others can’t
really hurt you any more.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
Happy go lucky Sagittarius, you must now pay attention to the details
of your career. You can no longer live off the resources of past
efforts. You must begin anew. You are now setting the stage for
the foundation of your social standing and future recognition. It
will materialize on or around September of 2007. If you have been
taking care of your responsibilities you will receive all the rewards
and social accommodations that you can stand. If you’ve been
partying and goofing off it’s the time that the “big
two by four” smacks you up side the head saying Sagittarius
it’s time you paid attention to these issues. Since Sagittarius
usually comes up smelling like a rose, more often than any other
sign in the zodiac, your “come upins” will not be as
drastic as the other signs have encountered.
Right now your ability to charm the general public
is excellent. If you have a job that deals with the public you are
finding that things are moving along “right smartly.”
Underlying this you have an uncanny ability to coalesce people into
groups that have a purpose that is much higher minded than what
the average person is able to do individually. If you are working
toward diminishing prejudice, bias and bigotry you can accomplish
amazing feats in bringing us to balance in “truth, justice
and the universal way.” After all, you are an idealist are
you not? This will free us from clustering in clans to protect ourselves
from an artificially propagandized enemy. You make us all realize
that, in every country, we all put our pants on one leg at a time
and we all need the space to grow and express ourselves unfettered.
Your living arrangements changed a short while
ago. The upheaval was fairly significant. Be aware that, now, you
can finally “settling in.” What ever education you have
received in the last two years is finally starting to show how it
will be useful to you…especially in your career associations
and projects. You have only to look at how you assess others and
their abilities to understand how you have grown in this manner.
In spite of your need to party your compassion has take a dominant
roll in your daily endeavors. Now your encouragement of others really
takes on a practical approach as others will no longer accuse you
of looking at the world through rose colored glasses. Just remember
that those who still do are those who feel the most insecure with
themselves. You shouldn’t “do it” for them. They
must learn their own path to their power.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Everything for Capricorn is all about career and responsibility.
The focus is a little different this year in that it is about those
issues but you must address your values and philosophy behind them.
Yes Capricorn, you don’t give much credence to those who philosophize
but for you, right now, it’s necessary to take a good look
at why you are doing what you’re doing. Yes, I know. It’s
to support yourself and your family and it’s considered to
be your responsibility to do so. Did you ever consider who made
those rules? What would you do with your life if your family was
fed and provided for, your 401k was busting at the seams and you
had all the leisure time in the world to do anything that you want?
Margaritas by the pool would get real old real fast. Are you training
your kids to follow the same “responsible” path? Why?
The bottom line for you is that you need to somehow
sacrifice yourself for something larger than yourself. You toil
to create something that will benefit everyone in your sphere of
influence. It’s the constructive and creative part that you
really enjoy. Filling the responsibility part, in your mind, gives
you permission to do other things that you enjoy. Do you refrain
from taking your portion of the mashed potatoes off the table until
everyone else has taken theirs? Do you save the best part of your
meal toward the end and eat everything else before you allow yourself
to enjoy the best remaining morsels? You are now at the point in
your life that you need to give yourself permission to take what
you need when you need it. Let others deal with some of their own
responsibilities for their life. You don’t have to take care
of everyone.
In the relationship area you have been supporting
others but have received minimal support yourself. This will begin
to turn around in April. More support will begin to come your way
but not from the people that you expect. Don’t look for it.
It’s a question of allowing the universe to give it to you
in a way that you cannot control. Remember…you are a bit of
a control freak! By September, concerning anyone that you’ve
been “carrying,” you will be able to let go and have
more energy to put into other endeavors.
In the beginning of April there will also be a change in your “sibling”
status. There will either be a sudden getting together or separation
between you and siblings or those you may consider alike to siblings
.
Your charm is on the rise. That’s saying a lot for serious
Capricorn. Allow yourself to go with the flow and not follow your
stringent idea of social etiquette. You will find that people warm
up to you more easily. There is one word of caution, however. Do
not “bribe” them with committing to do for them. Be
yourself. You don’t need to be useful for someone to appreciate
you.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 19
As of December 26th some things have changed. Old career issues
have reared their heads and presented an opportunity to settle them
by making changes in the home and traditional setting. The thing
now is to keep the communication lines open so you can maintain
your independent status. If you don’t speak up, and Aquarians
usually don’t, you will find yourself “assumed”
into a position you may find undesirable. Sometime you must do the
“in your face” thing to keep your space. Health issues
and work environment issues will be finished in mid July; however,
the focus will then change to relationship responsibility…yours
and theirs. And when they do, you’d better be prepared to
deal with the rules you’ve put into place. People in general
don’t usually understand where you are coming from since you
don’t communicate very much (about yourself and your expectations).
Your expectations, in July, will be nose to nose with you. Execute
your choices carefully otherwise you will have a lot of explaining
to do. Your finances have been very wacky. Granted the stability
has not been there, however, if you look more closely, you’ll
see that you have had a lot more opportunities to expand your resource
base of late. Take advantage by thinking out of the box. No one
knows that you are so rigid and inflexible. They’ll be no
harm done in changing a few things in front of your peer group.
Take the plunge. You’ll be happier for it! Whatever it is
that you are working toward, you find it very difficult to get a
handle on. If you use your intuition or gut feeling you will find
that things run a lot more smoothly than if you mentally “doped
it out.” Remember, Aquarius is an air sign; therefore your
primary tool is your mental facility. You are being forced to use
your intuition much more with advent of Uranus, your ruling planet,
moving into Pisces in your second house of abilities. Your emotions
are MUCH more in play than you would care to admit. Go with the
flow. You might find some interesting qualities in yourself!
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
If you have any leanings toward art, music or any of the creative
and expressive activities this month is the time to take a good
hard look at them. Put things in place to participate with your
promotion through other people and be ready by late June. This is
your time to get others to pay attention and help you to get published
or in the public eye.
You should be taking action, now, to adjust your home environment
and the responsibilities you have there. They will probably run
along two tracks requiring you to do a little multitasking. You
may even be in the midst of a move…figuratively or actually.
In either case take caution not to succumb to the scattering of
your energies or you will be unable to accomplish anything.
If you have any religious or spiritual focus, now is the time to
assess how they are incorporated in your life. Feeling is appropriate
for this area of life but you must remain aware how this influences
the actions you take. Do your values reflect the actions you take
and vice versa? If so you are a happy camper. If not, you have some
work to do. Make sure this part of your life is solid otherwise
nothing else will make sense and your conscience will eat you up
like a piranha.
Career issues are beginning to solidify. Whatever you began to change
in November will be in a position to be completed in early April.
Get your ducks in a row and be mindful of the responsibilities that
they entail and you will be successful with flying colors!
Your finances will stabilize by June but be aware that you must
be more independent in handling them. Don’t leave that up
to other people. The support you’ll receive for your creative
abilities is just that…support. Don’t mistake the change
for “being provided for or being taken care of.”
Don’t be surprised with what you think others are thinking.
You may be right. Your telepathic and empathic abilities are in
a heightened state. Use them wisely and don’t allow the paranoia
to overtake you.
