On the contrary: Life and whatever your experience looks like, is changing the core of your being.

PISCES (Feb. 21-March 20): Don’t be put out by people who have too much going on to be there for you. In this situation it’s too much to expect. It would make more sense for you to stop chasing windmills, long enough to see that you have better things to do.

ARIES (March 21- April 20): How far things will go is a good question. You wish you knew. Deep down inside you want this more than anything. Your entire life has brought you this far. Now that you’re here you see for the first time that this will only come to fruition if your ego gets moved onto the back burner long enough for your soul to see you through. Being who you really are is what it comes down to. The voice in your head keeps telling you to stay on top of things. On some level, maybe that will help, but the way I see it, you’re spinning all of this from a much more instinctive place.

TAURUS (April 21 -May 20): Between a rock and a hard place there is no choice but to become like water. Too many external influences have too much to say about who you need to be. Deep down inside the part of you who knows who you are is waiting patiently for your fears to recede, far enough for you to swim into a new definition of yourself. So much of this is imaginary. The laws of physics tell us that higher frequencies displace lower frequencies. As you come face to face with what seems to matter more than anything, know that the forces that assail you have no power over you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Miracles never cease. From one day to the next you feel like there’s an angel on your shoulder making everything all right. This is a new experience for some of you. As the sense of protection and support increases you are beginning to see that all of the stress that you’ve had to sustain has given way to a deeper understanding. The meaning behind all of this has reinforced something, something that is unique to each of you. For the first time in your life the desire to take the high road is opening the space to make amends with those whose trust in you has been mislaid.

CANCER (June 21-July 20): The money piece is going up or down, depending on which way the tide is running in your neck of the woods. You are no stranger to the way things go up and down. Recent encounters with people who matter more than anything have changed your tune. When love is the operative word sometimes you need to rely upon forgiveness to bridge the gap that spans between you. Finding yourself in a place where peace and harmony live on the other side of letting go, will inspire you to move to higher ground. Stay true. Within two months there will be blessings beyond measure.
