(March 20-April
19)
You have no need to defend your feelings; they are your feelings.
Take the same approach to your physical space; it is yours, and
subject to your influence and to some extent your control. Remember
that our first notion of a "house" is not our own house,
but rather the one we showed up in, which was controlled by our
parents and other older relatives. Beware that any power struggles
that emerge among those you may currently share your space with
could be repeats of earlier tales; it is your job to make them
turn out differently. This is another way of saying your role is
to hold everyone to the standards of an adult, never forgetting
we are all little kids deep inside. |

If a certain relationship or co-creative endeavor at times seems to be
an uphill push, look or rather feel deeper. Beneath the surface is an
extraordinary depth of commitment and dedication to honesty. If there
are jealous feelings involved, take them as a sign of passion. In fact,
any challenges you may face this month are community property. It is
in everyone's interest to apply a creative approach, or to take a chance
that perhaps seems unlikely to succeed. When we have an opportunity to
overcome our past beliefs and experiences, that is always something of
a sacred turning point, a moment of truth and clarity. Such is now.

If you want new ideas about relationships, you need to state them out
loud. Fear not that a sense of being provoked or injured is what might
lead you to do this. That's fine, if that's what it takes. In such circumstances,
it helps to make the clear statement, "I feel hurt and I am seeking
healing by having this discussion." That will go a long way toward
allowing in the miracle of liberating yourself from past emotions that
have long held you in situations dominated by power struggles. The time
has come to see just how unnecessary those struggles really are. Yet
they must be replaced by something, such as a highly conscious discussion
of what is important to you. |

You may not be planning to establish your roots in a particular place
or even at a particular time, but circumstances are conspiring that you
make certain adjustments to your plans on the way to settling into the
life you want and need. One of the key principles that surrounds your
home life is that of balance. Your home needs to be a sane place, so
that your relationships can possess a measure of the equilibrium that
is so essential to your sanity and happiness. Keep this principle in
mind; make sure the left and the right sides have something in common,
and above all, keep your eye on beauty. That is a sure sign of balance,
and of awareness.

Events and developments move quickly from idea to manifestation this
month. What emerges will do more than hint at what is possible, or where
you've arrived. You will be sure that you've reached a turning point
both in your relationships and your concept of where you live. If you
encounter a tight spot financially, sweat it out and apply the lessons
of using structure to your advantage that you've learned so well the
past few years. Most of what you have structured is yourself; now you
need to make a few basic decisions that apply that technology to your
wider, or rather wilder, life. |

You seem to be struggling with an emotional issue, at a time when by
most other accounts, your life is pretty good. I think the issue involves
how safe you allow yourself to feel in those times when you are indeed
safe. I suggest you work with this one: feel the roof over your head,
feel the lock that bolts your door, pick up the phone and listen to the
dial tone. Feel what it feels like to have food in the house, and a notebook
to write in. Feel the strength and beauty deep within you. Then, remember
that feeling well. |

(Sep. 22-Oct.

Face your fears early, and get them out of the way. They hold no
power over you that you don't personally give them. I suggest you
make peace with your secret mental obsession, the one that's at
the heart of your struggle with decisions. It's not the weighing
and the balancing that slows you down as much as processing the
minutiae of your thoughts in an unconscious way. At the very least,
think openly about what you are thinking about. Give your ideas
a voice, and listen to what it says.

(Oct. 23-Nov.

You need to be honest with your partners about your issues, their issues,
and all the ways you feel hurt. Your solar chart reveals an intense state
of mind, so you may want to preface the discussion by taking responsibility
for what you feel; then do precisely that. Your feelings have a history,
and they have energy, but they are not God. I think you will see that
old gripes are useless unless they are given the room to be known and
thus an opportunity to be resolved, and this is indeed possible. Yet
what you are really working through is an inner sense that your own judgments
block your progress. In fact, they do.

(Nov.
22-Dec. 22)
You are still working up to some of the best that life has to offer,
but you come pretty close this month. While you're not necessarily so
ambitious by nature -- lucky is more the word -- you now need to apply
yourself in a direct way. You need to build your reputation rather than
float along on it. And it would be positively brilliant if you painted
your personal and professional goals with a fine-point pen rather than
the broad brush you usually use. Typically you leave this kind of detailed
work to others because it's just not interesting enough for you; now,
do it because it's fun. |

(Dec.
22-Jan. 20)
Face personal challenges head on, but make sure you see yourself in anyone
you perceive as an adversary, particularly a domestic partner. To see,
you may need to look; you are looking for the attribute of yourself that
you don't generally display. That attribute is still you, even though
you would usually prefer to not let it out of the bag most of the time.
Yet that is no excuse for denial. Indeed, events of this month seem poised
to bring you out of that rather debilitating state of mind, and help
you raise awareness of what matters most to you and someone you care
about immensely. |

Saturn has finally unlocked its grip on your relationship angle (Leo),
where it was transiting for more than two years. The last weeks in August
were probably nothing short of agonizing. The message of Saturn in Virgo
is that much more is negotiable than has been the case in recent seasons
of your life. In fact, everything is negotiable, and on terms that you
take a great role in setting. What has changed? Thought rather than raw
emotion is the new source of energy. Raw emotion is useful, and you still
have plenty of that at your disposal. But intelligence is what you thrive
on, and praise Goddess, intelligence is available right now.

Be not afraid of your desire. If you are like most Pisces, you were taught
to keep your wild ideas to yourself. Yet if you look, you will see that
you have had a truly magnificent influence on the people and environment
around you, and the way you have done that is by daring to speak up;
daring to be real. Recent events in your life have proven the utmost
worth of being yourself from day to day, no matter how radical it may
seem at the moment. What is outrageous and controversial today is just
a good idea tomorrow, so please don't hold back.
