(March 20-April
19)
A close partner appears to be on the brink of a change that they don't
quite understand. A lot of how this development progresses depends on
how you respond. You need to be supportive and clear-headed; what's exceedingly
familiar territory for you is rather mysterious and uncharted ground
for them. The fact that you may perceive it as so logical and sensible,
though, is not necessarily a source of comfort, so you need to maintain
that balance between being helpful and letting someone you love find
their way. Do less; listen more. With a spirit of love and cooperation,
what transpires over the next few days could be distinctly pleasant. |

(April 19-May

You've got no need to push; the momentum of your life is carrying you
along just fine. The problem you seem to be facing is not quite understanding
the wisdom of your past decisions, but at this point you're not in a
good position to be assessing the logic behind them. Soon enough the
logic will become apparent, as will the sensibility of taking a chance
that you simply cannot leave unexplored. Make no mistake: taking this
risk will change you, in the long run, in ways you simply cannot foresee
today. But that's part of a much larger process of your life that's best
assessed on a spiritual level rather than an intellectual one.

Among its dual reputations, Gemini carries one characteristic of a short
attention span, and another for transcendent brilliance. With Saturn
so well aspected in your chart, we don't need to worry about the first
one these days. You have nothing if not focus. As for the second, I suggest
you apply your mind to seeing deep into problems and resolving to use
them entirely to your advantage. To some, your best ideas may seem too
far out or exotic to be of any use. But in this particular equation,
you're the one who truly can think globally and act locally. |

(June 21-July

You're about to be given a series of opportunities to reassess your financial
situation from a position of real strength. What you must remember is
that many of your decisions involving money, and thus your mental habits,
have been based on a position of weakness that simply does not apply
to you today. Look at all you've been through, all you've learned, and
how far you've come. Now, you need to imagine a destination that these
lessons simply would not have allowed you to consider. The thing to remember
is that there's no rush, and that the most solid progress is slow and
steady.

(July 22-Aug.

There are times when we turn over a new leaf; times when we begin a new
chapter; and times when the whole universe thunders with the message, "Now
is the time." The influences that are the most potent in your life
now have been quietly influencing you for some years, so you may not
necessarily see that this particular moment was the real turning point.
But when you look back, it will be obvious. Now that you know this, how
can you respond to the events and opportunities taking full advantage
of their influence over your future? Make every decision like you really
are the one with the most influence over your life. |

(Aug. 23-Sep.

You may be getting the feeling that you have no control over your life
whatsoever. If that were actually true, you could stop worrying, because
it wouldn't make a difference anyway. If you can pause long enough, you'll
see where you really have the power to make a difference. Much of that
has to do with how you handle the deepest aspects of your emotional psychology.
You can, for example, project your fear of loneliness and being different
onto the world. Or, you could work with them slowly, take ownership of
your state of mind, and notice how the people you love are available
to you right now. |

(Sep. 22-Oct.
23)
You may have taken many opportunities recently to express your views
and use your allies. I suggest that under developing aspects, you take
a step back and assess where you stand. It is true that you've put yourself
in a unique position and staked out some kind of social or creative territory
that you would normally be much more hesitant about holding. What you
have yet to see is the strength of your position, and this will come
only with a slow and deliberate assessment. You have time, and using
it will only work to your advantage. |

|
(Oct. 23-Nov.
22)
Fortune and success are calling your name personally, but I don't suggest
you send out a press release. Rather, impress others with how genuinely
concerned for their wellbeing you are, and make sure there are no little
cracks in your reputation. If you find any, make sure you take care of
the repairs with deeds and not just with words. The world needs leaders
who can hold a vision, and certainly you qualify. But more in tune with
the times is a need for leaders who are capable of setting a good example.
This way, authority and recognition will work for you and not against
you.

(Nov.
22-Dec. 22)
Long-term plans and ambitions come into focus now, and you owe it to
yourself to take these things a lot more seriously. You're typically
someone who has a lot of energy, but in truth you only have so much.
The way sensible people usually handle this is by prioritizing. There
is one person's advice and counsel, which will be exceedingly helpful
in getting this particular rather touchy discussion going. You know exactly
who she is, and you trust her because in addition to having your best
interests at heart, she has no interest at all in the outcome. |

|
(Dec.
22-Jan. 20)
Others are willing to talk business, so you need to be as well. But I
don't suggest you do any thinking out loud. Rather, invest your energy
refining some very specific proposals that are based on exactly what
you want, and what you're willing to do. Then, be prepared for what may
be a prolonged period of negotiation and working out of the details.
You can have faith in the ultimate outcome, and you don't need to push.
If you can put most of your energy into understanding and responding
to what you perceive as people's genuine goals and concerns, you will
emerge from this discussion a winner. |

(Jan. 20-Feb.

You're suddenly figuring out not just where other people stand; you're
seeing how much you've learned in recent years, and how applicable it
is to real life. Your star really is rising, and with that privilege
come a number of added responsibilities that put the focus on keeping
your relationships sane, healthy and directed in productive directions.
It is true that you have a tendency to attract rather self-centered people
into your life, who seem to use your ability to work with community goals
as a public relations ploy. Now, despite themselves, some influential
people in your life are poised to use that influence on behalf of you
and what you feel is important.

(Feb. 19-March

We don't generally see descriptions of what excellent workers Pisces
are in astrology books, but only you know the extent of your pride in
a job genuinely well done. You have recently entered an era of your life
where this particular quality is the one that moves to the top of your
list of priorities. Your plans may not be moving with the speed you like,
and you may feel you have not accomplished nearly enough for your stage
of growth. But what you are doing takes time, dedication and most of
all, the ability to give it all you've got. Use that ability judiciously
and it will serve you well when you need it most.
