You are working the line between what is possible and what you believe
is possible. Or should I say the wall of belief, or the ruse of belief.
Or, perhaps, the magic power of belief. What, exactly is belief? It's
nothing at all, compared to faith, particularly faith in yourself. Some
may feel the difference is semantic. I would put it simply this way:
belief is like tricking yourself into accepting that something is true,
whether it is or not. Faith is feeling the situation and responding from
a place deep inside yourself, where you know, trust and accept. |

By now, you've had enough of other people's dramas. Yet do you understand
that the clearest path to freedom from dramas is being the one and only
authority to whom you're ultimately answerable? That is the essence of
your life mission, and the story of this phase of your growth. Note,
however, that while some people will respond by showing their respect,
others will respond with rebellion. This will provide you an excellent
opportunity to see who around you is reaching adulthood, and who is still
a child in an adult's body. Keep track of who is who, and please treat
everyone accordingly.

Recent planetary action in Aquarius is probably stirring up your wanderlust,
and prompting you to explore new friends and new experiences. Given other
factors in your solar chart, such as Jupiter in your opposite sign Sagittarius,
I am surprised you can sit still for more than half an hour. Are you
free to move about the surface of the planet? Or perhaps more to the
point, do you feel confident enough to renegotiate your commitments and
create some flexibility? You know the answer to that question, and I
would say that if you are in doubt, now is a great time to start practicing.
Though it's rarely said, freedom does take practice, and plenty of it. |

People are showing you their true colors these days, which is about all
you could hope for. You need to know where you stand with people, and
your life goes better when you do. So, rather than complaining about
the sorry state of the human race, just make sure your scorecard is up
to date. Just as important is people knowing where they stand with you.
State your expectations in clear, simple terms, and see how people respond.
Leave out the emotional material; rather, assess people by their own
emotional state and whether they show a shred of sensitivity to your
situation. Some will; some will not; thus will you know who your real
friends are.

There's an interesting collection of people gathering in your life, and
from the look of your solar chart, it's not about to turn boring anytime
soon. Make sure you identify all the basic characters: let's see, the
smooth-tongued lawyer; the pathological liar; the provocative revolutionary;
the smart little kid; the person setting an excellent example. As long
as you keep track of who is who, your days will go smoothly. If you start
confusing these people, it's a little like expecting a dog to act like
a cat, only with higher stakes. It will be interesting to see what happens
when you get them all in the same room.

With so much going on at work, you may be feeling like you want to spend
a month at a Buddhist retreat center. You've hardly ever had a better
opportunity to understand the strange tension that exists between you
and your environment when there is a group of any kind around you. My
best guess is that on some level you feel like you have to be a different
person with everyone, to somehow meet their different expectations of
who you are. Can we pretend for a little while that you don't need to
do anything of the sort? |

(Sep. 22-Oct.

You have so many options open to you right now, but all of them involve
taking some kind of risk. The question you need to ask yourself is not
how daring do you want to be, but rather, what do you really want to
do, create or learn? Your honest desire will guide the level of risk
you're willing to take, as will your sense of what is possible if you
actually dare to think, feel or respond to your world in a different
way. Just to give you a clue, you're likely to discover that the more
willing you are to experiment, the more willing people are to be real
with you. |

You have learned something about yourself, something I have a feeling
you were never expecting. It relates to your mental attitude and the
fluidity of cash. Most people who are good at the money game have this
figured out, but they come in two varieties: the ones who cling to the
stuff, and the ones who let it flow. You are clearly of the second variety,
and as you come into your stride, you may find yourself being a bit repulsed
by those of the first. You know instinctively that little green sheets
of paper are not the issue, but rather a deeper and more fundamental
faith in existence.

Beneath the carefree image you project to the world is a person deeply
committed to propriety, integrity and knowing what drawer your socks
are in. Having suddenly come to the realization of what is supremely
important to you, you may now feel the time has arrived to act on that,
to take charge and in some way to get others to live up to your values.
You don't need to do this aggressively. It would be better if you kept
your focus on yourself, and on doing what you know is right. That will
send a signal, and part of that signal is an invitation to people who
share your values to support your mission. |

(Dec.
22-Jan. 20)
Recent activity in your sign caused quite a few people to go into meltdown
mode, abandon any sense of authority, and maybe flake on a few important
responsibilities. There are people who get blown around by the plants
like a leaf; there are others who cling to their reality like a tree
that cannot flex in the wind. The strength you offer others comes from
a combination of being flexible and firmly rooted. In order to be an
authority, you need to respect authority. These things you know, but
now you need to be impeccable about them, because people are responding
to your example more than anything. |

Aquarius is now a potent focus of planetary movement, reminding us that
the only constant is change. What most human beings struggle to change
is their ideas, and I strongly suggest that you lead the way in revising
your notions, beliefs and concepts as quickly as you have reason to do
so. You may be concerned what people will think when you do this. You
may feel it will cost you respect to change your mind. That is a fixed
belief that many people have, and I can think of few mental habits that
block progress more effectively. Let's move on; we need some progress
in this world.

The sensitive angle of your solar chart where your professional fortunes
are wagered is hot right now, maybe too hot to handle. The difficulty
I've noticed with strong transits to this house, the 10th house to be
precise, is that most people either get blown over by the energy, they
get scared, or they have no clue what to do with the opportunities it
presents. However, you've been preparing for this moment for a long time,
far longer than you may recognize. It's often true that the reward of
good work is the opportunity to do more work, and for some this has no
appeal at all. I trust you feel differently.
