(March 20-April
19)
With the Sun entering your opposite sign Libra, you are on course for
many unusual developments in your most personal relationships, be they
related to business or pleasure. Despite the many changes, you're certain
to remain tenacious in your quest for your true fulfillment. But you
must avoid something that very nearly plagues all the thinking of the
modern world, which is the rush for false certainty. As such it would
be far better for you to face the unknown for as long as possible; this
really is the truth of your life and your relationships, and as one of
my spiritual mentors once said, "Only the truth is erotic." |

As part of every journey, there are expectations, dreams, desires, moments
of doubt and moments when we get lost. And these can be times when the
unusual or the unknown enters the equation, much like shuffling a tarot
deck and drawing out the cards randomly -- or seemingly so. Once the
cards are placed on the table and the pattern is seen for what it is,
we forget that it was a random moment that allowed the pattern to happen.
So shuffle the deck of your life, scan the cards with your fingers, and
draw them out one by one. No matter how strange the moment feels, the
pattern will make perfect sense.

It's often the case that the more creative people have to deal with a
more intense level of fear. The light is shining brightly in some important
aspects of your life, at the same time you seem to have an intractable
concern. You're even doubting whether that concern is real, which is
providing some relief. Still, you may be split 50/50 on whether you're
correct to feel blazing inspiration or inwardly concerned. I suggest
you let action take the lead, and act on your inspirations rather than
your fears. The fear can serve to encourage. |

Significant changes in your home and security base are now verging on
the inevitable, and I suggest that in preparation for these long-overdue
developments you streamline your life and keep your plans to a minimum.
I suggest you keep an ongoing meditation focused on how uncertain and
how safe you feel; these are the two sides of the equation of a successful
passage through this phase. Certain important deeply personal affairs
are coming to fruition, but they need both emotional and physical space,
as well as available time, to develop. If I had to sum it all up in one
word, it would be "open." Hang loose and go with the flow.

(July 22-Aug.

You're now in a position to implement decisions you made a long time
ago. You may be seeing what develops in these weeks as some form of fate,
or as a self-fulfilling prophecy. In reality, they are the results of
choices you've made, most of which are based on a need to adapt to your
environment, let go of ideas that no longer work, and to actually feel
at home on the planet. At times there may feel like an enormous amount
of importance or gravity to your thoughts; at other times, you may feel
quite out of control. Either may be true at times, but in the grand scheme,
you are exactly on course. |

(Aug. 23-Sep.

To allow new energy into our lives, and to express ourselves in new ways,
it's vitally important to let go of what has occupied our spaces and
priorities for so long. There are some people who cannot make a change
without the sense that something is being taken away; there are others
who will cling to negative circumstances simply because they're familiar.
Neither strategy is going to work for you now, and you can be glad of
that. The options you have before you are simply too compelling to ignore,
and too good to make excuses about why you don't deserve them. |

(Sep. 22-Oct.

It's little known to most astrologers that the early degrees of Libra
contain a massive galaxy called M87. This is a symbol of your influence
and intensity, which many, including yourself, don't usually notice.
Follow that energy line. Make your influence felt gently, without force,
and remember that your reach is far greater than you can possibly imagine.
Make clear statements of intention, then follow up with some form of
action immediately. You may have the feeling you're setting an inevitable
set of consequences into motion, which would be precisely correct. All
that's been missing is the right moment for your intervention. |

(Oct. 23-Nov.

Certain individuals seem to be entrenched in their viewpoint, which is
stirring up a drama or two in the most personal aspects of your life.
They have not seen the futility of their situation. Resistance is certainly
an effective means of stirring up chaos, so make sure that as little
as possible is coming from your direction. You would go a long way by
mentally reversing the situation and seeing yourself from the viewpoint
of the person or people with whom you're dealing. Your willingness to
do so will induce an energetic shift that may provide the most compelling
evidence yet that intelligent progress is better than obstinate ignorance.

(Nov.
22-Dec. 22)
Once again you're in the position to bring people together around a cause,
mission or idea that benefits everyone. It's often frustrating to you
the extent to which humans ignore or refuse to acknowledge common interests,
but then if they did not, you would not lead nearly so interesting and
eventful a life. A key ally in this situation may seem to have gone missing,
or the solution will come from the work, ideas or influences of a person,
probably a woman, who is not physically present right now. This person
will be all the more influential, even revered, for not being here. But
you get to be their spokesperson.

(Dec.
22-Jan. 20)
Unpredictable developments of recent weeks have placed you in the perfect
position to assume leadership of a complex situation that, in truth,
only you can handle. I suggest you continue to work behind the scenes
as much as possible and never announce yourself in charge. The fact that
you are is obvious to those who have the motivation to notice, and this
is in part because you actually comprehend where everyone is coming from.
Watch your communication style carefully; make no enemies, but make no
compromises either. Consider that the smaller the decision, the larger
the effects. So you can afford to be low-key. |

(Jan. 20-Feb.

You may not consider yourself a religious or even spiritual person, but
you're about to discover the power of faith. It's a subtle influence
and it tends to work in the background rather than the foreground, but
these days we can take it in any form in which it shows up. The odd thing
is that what you're going to see the effects of is something that's always
working in your life; what's really changing is your way of seeing the
world, and of seeing yourself. The process does not stop here; through
the autumn you are sure to discover the power of what some call the Higher
Self, which you may come to decide is the only self there is.

(Feb. 19-March

Events have developed so significantly lately that it's difficult to
keep up with the progress, much less the implications. Your role in all
of this is to keep yourself firmly positioned within your relationships,
particularly where joint finances, investments and business matters are
concerned. To say that the hand of providence is reaching toward you
is an understatement; the best thing you can do is to reach back. Set
aside your ideas about what you deserve or don't deserve, and recognize
that you can in fact handle responsibility, influence and hold your own
with those whose power you both recognize and respect. The feeling is
very likely to be mutual.
