(March 20-April
19)
You have it in you to take a refined, well-planned approach, both
to your life as a whole and in particular to a professional question
whose time has come. Please don't make the mistake of thinking
that the step you need to take involves some kind of worldly recognition,
however. Nobody can give you anything you don't already have. The
situation or perhaps imminent crisis involves taking the more meaningful
step of becoming someone you've been reaching for inside yourself
for a long time. The progress you make this month depends on the
confidence you allow yourself to feel. Nothing is stopping you,
but only you have the power to take the first and most important
step. |

Your friends are pulling for you. Do you believe me? Or are you having
difficulty understanding why anyone would go out of their way to support
you? You may feel like you're not in a position to give the things that
people want most. If there's an element of truth to that, don't take
it as a mantra. To the contrary, work to understand the positive role
you play in the lives of those who care about you, and consciously respect
what you provide. If you make a point of seeing your worth to others
-- no matter how challenging that may be -- you will come a long way
toward realizing the kind of self-respect that has been missing from
your life for so long.

How strong is the foundation you're standing on? Is it strong enough
to support the many ambitions you are building on top of it? The emphasis
seems to be leaning strongly toward the outer world, when several key
factors in your solar chart suggest you need to be building on the inside:
your emotional space, your kitchen, your bedroom. Look around your house.
What words would you use to describe it? What qualities does it possess?
Your real work is at home, no matter what success the world is bestowing
on you -- and it seems to be offering some pretty rare morsels at the
moment. Work from the ground up, from the closets outward, and from the
corners to the center of the room. |

Many factors are now allowing you to take some longer, bolder steps
into the world. The winter seemed to be one long negotiation session,
but you could only make out every other word. But you made an investment
in life, and you got a lot done despite many episodes of imperfect
cooperation. You can safely forget about those things now, and
take a chance on something more daring. Allow yourself to plan
for how your life would be, if things were to go truly well. Most
planning involves preparing for contingencies, shortfalls and assorted
potential disasters. You have earned an opportunity to write the
script of your future on a different basis.

You're working your way toward a breakthrough -- don't worry about that.
Life has been so complicated lately that you have every right to expect
that nothing is ever simple, or ever will be. If you look at where you
stand today with the people who are the most important to you, you may
recognize that there is indeed something that you can both understand
and explain. You are long overdue for some experiences of all that you've
given out coming back to you, and I mean this primarily on the human
level. Money will take care of itself; you have pretty good luck that
way. As you know, there are greater rewards in life. Practice being open.
Literally, hold the energetic doors inside yourself wide open; be open;
breathe in and receive. Keep doing it. |

(Aug. 23-Sep.

Many people long to be met -- that is, to be met face to face, and have
their energy matched by a living human or by an opportunity that they
deserve. Yet observe what so often happens when that occurs. You are
fast approaching such a moment. Life, the universe, the gods or however
you wish to characterize them, are lining up to hand you what you want,
what you need, and what you believe in. All you have to do is connect,
receive, embrace. Or, you can freeze up; you can experience some version
of not feeling worthy of, or equal to, what is being offered. You get
to decide -- though you may not see it as a decision. That would be the
first challenge. |

(Sep. 22-Oct.

Why do you do what you do? Well, you chalk many things up to altruism.
It's a great motive, as long as its an authentic one. The Oxford
English Dictionary defines the word as, "Devotion to the welfare
of others, regard for others, as a principle of action; opposed
to egoism or selfishness." Now, this is possible, for one
thing, how can a person subtract themselves from the equation of
their life? I suggest you aim for taking actions that you are sure
enough have mutual benefit for everyone involved. Not necessarily
exactly equal benefit, but mutual. You have a heck of a lot to
offer right now, and just as much to gain. |

The Sun is in Pisces now, and as the month progresses, Mercury and Venus
will also arrive in your fellow water sign; your first cousin. Mars is
in Cancer, another water sign. For a Scorpio, it really doesn't get much
better, that is, if you have a nice boat to float in, or a beach umbrella
to get underneath. Remember, you're going to be in deeply emotional mode.
To harness all this love, passion and imagination, you need some discipline
-- and I suggest you get it sooner rather than later. Discipline is another
word for focus, and in this sense I mean focus on what you want and need
the most, rather than what is expected of you.

22-Dec. 22)
If you forgive yourself for all the persona, inner and unspoken gripes
you usually hold in your own face, you're heading for one of the most
fulfilling moments in a long time. The rampant instability in your home
looks like it's finally settling down. The nearly constant sense of not
knowing how you feel is bearing fruit -- discovering how you feel about
someone or something that will stun you in the most pleasant way. This
is another way of saying that if you're absolutely honest with yourself
right when you feel the urge to be that way, you will love it. |

(Dec.
22-Jan. 20)
You can take a vacation this month without taking a day off of work,
buying an airplane ticket, or putting more than 25 miles on your car.
You're in one of those cosmic nanophases where you find things; where
they find you; where you just bump into what you want and need. None
of this is an accident. You are seeing the world through entirely different
eyes than you were one year ago, or even three months ago, and this new
vision is something you worked for with diligence. Besides work it's
partly the result of acknowledging your actual influence on your environment,
and part of it is about not being afraid of yourself. |

(Jan. 20-Feb.

Gradually you are coming to understand something about yourself, though
you might not have the word for what it is. But you are collecting documentation,
which seems to be supporting some profound intuition you've had for a
long time. While you're collecting facts, don't tune out the primary
source of your information -- the deeper parts of your mind, particularly
those that speak in images. Indeed, if you want something, find a picture
of it, draw it, or assemble it in a collage. There is a difference between
fantasy and reality; much of that difference is bridged by constructing
a visual representation, and then building on it.

If things go well, please don't expect them to go worse. The only thing
that could possibly stop you now is your own tendency toward negative
expectations -- which, thankfully, you've been doing quite well at toning
down in recent years. You've learned something about trusting the unknown
and the improbable. True, you meet the occasional asshole, but notice
how rarely that actually happens. Don't decide for people who they are
in advance. Keep your focus and feel the strength of optimism. As the
next few weeks unfold, give yourself room to make a series of radical
decisions that feed your heart, your soul and your hunger for deep contact.
