Aries
Aries

 

Aries (March 20-April 19)
You may be wondering why what's so important to you doesn't necessarily seem so important to others. Maybe it's because they're not ready. Maybe it's because you haven't quite sorted out what's the most meaningful to you, which takes time. So, here's some astrological advice: don't criticize anyone for not agreeing with you when you don't quite know where you stand with yourself. Work on that, and use your most trusted friends for a few choice conversations when you really have the subject down to some key issues.

 

Taurus
Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
What, exactly, has been bothering you? You've done so much in recent months to straighten out your life. And at the same time it feels like there's this place inside you that just won't rest. On one level it may seem like you're struggling to express your individuality. But when the final investigation is complete in about six months, you'll see you were looking for a truly satisfying way to work and share with like-minded others. So you can take your individualistic impulses and direct them toward bringing people together. Good for the world, good for you.

 

Gemini
Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21)
Play your strong suit and you will see you really do have something to offer. Mentally oriented people such as yourself can work themselves into a state of doubt so fast because very little in the world actually makes sense from a rational perspective. You may persist in trying to sort things out bit from bit psychologically for a while, but I suggest you not waste your energy. Your time would be better spent making some basic observations about your environment and waiting for your heart to open to what you know is right and true.

 

Cancer
Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
If you can get over your apprehensions about certain changes over which you seem to have no control, you'll realize you've got nothing but opportunities to choose between. There are certain decisions that will make themselves, and there are others that you'll find very inviting. A combination of astrological factors describes vivid differences between letting go of the past and embracing the future. Yes, this all spells big changes -- but they are changes in the direction you've been pointing your life for a long time.

 

Leo
Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23)
Something you've been suspecting for a long time is about to be proven true, and I don't think you'll have any complaints at all. But you have to be willing to change your mind about certain ideas you've held for so long you don't even notice they're there. But you'll certainly notice when they are gone. Most people resist making adjustments to their belief systems under the pretense of clinging to stability. But there is a particular kind of stability you're learning to give up, which is the kind known as being stuck.

 

Virgo
Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
There seems to be some uncomfortable tension between feeling like you live in a world of your own, and deeply craving a kind of intense contact from others. Yet they seem unable to reach through a layer of glass that surrounds you. You're the one who needs to find an element of certainty within all your doubts and bring that to one particular relationship. Or, if you could express your doubts in a way that does not drown the whole universe, that, too, could be the basis of a very beautiful exchange. Either way, you need to do the reaching out.

 

Libra
Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23)
The focus of astrological activity is now in your birth sign, and that's calling a lot of attention to you. This may be coming at a time when you want little other than to take care of your own affairs. But I suggest you push yourself out into situations where you can make contact with others, discover who is around you, and get some of the human contact you need. Brilliant things will come of this, and though you have reason to pay attention, you have no real reason to fear. Protecting yourself is not always about retreating. Often, it's about being real.

 

Scorpio
Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
What does a Scorpio want? Start by forgiving everyone else for not knowing. You have a right to be annoyed or concerned that what should be obvious to you is not quite coming across. And it's fair enough to look to others for examples and ideas. But when all of that gets you as far as you can, you need to patiently sort out what truly matters to you, and establish certain priorities that will help make it happen. If you can get that far, others will be more than cooperative, and suddenly their actions will make a lot more sense.

 

Sagittarius
Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22)
Refuse to allow one set of developments that you can't really do anything about distract you from a much more exciting situation that's developing. This sense of a split reality is common in times of change, when the old is going out and the new is coming in. At the center of the two is you and your ability to choose where you're going to put your energy. Most people naturally gravitate toward the past, if only because it's familiar. I suggest as these months develop that you go in any direction but what you already think you know.

 

Capricorn
Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)
A series of rapid professional developments should not take you by surprise; you've been working for something for a long time. What may take you by surprise is how different they turn out to be than what you were expecting. That will tell you a little about the nature of expectations, which often tend to limit us more than they get us to our true destination. It's also interesting how close the past and the present can be in terms of geographic space, and how distant they can be in terms of what they have to offer.

 

Aquarius
Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
You need to sidestep the influences of certain people who would have you be more serious, less idealistic and overall less like yourself. What you really need at this time is to be more like yourself, and everyone you meet is going to provide some example, whether negative or positive. The world is full of fakes, but then there arrive certain truly genuine people who don't cling to themselves like a bug grasps a leaf. The right people in your life right now are the ones who are willing to take chances. Listen to what they have to say.

 

Pisces
Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Continually balancing certain personal factors and professional ones does not need to be as difficult as you've been making it. You could just as well be bold and assertive rather than trying to mete out each little increment of time based on your own sense of limitation. In fact, you have plenty of time, and what you lack in time you make up for in resources. Time is money and money is time, which means there's a tangible relationship between the two forms of energy. But love and the support that other people are offering you can also be tangible, if you're open to receiving.
