CAPRICORN: Dec. 21 - Jan. 20 Holding the whole show together has turned out to be too much. It's hard to say why you feel like so much more is expected of you. Your current situation got out of hand when you let your sense of guilt or obligation overrule the idea that you deserve to have a life. Others will continue to take. You will continue to give. The scales will be tipped the minute you begin to understand that the greater part of your being needs a venue that will allow you to flourish without having anything you do require you to sell out, martyr yourself, or be a beast of burden for anyone.

AQUARIUS: Jan. 21 – Feb. 20 Don't try to figure people out. Even your beautiful mind is not equipped to see where they need to go from here. You have rededicated yourself to your work, either by choice or by decree. Whatever that's about, your devotion to your "chores" will be your saving grace until you find a way to connect with your life in a more human kind of way. The next new thing is right around the corner. Others are here for it, or not. Whether you're on your own with things, or you're swimming with a partner, the rest of your life will be born out of what you're working on now.

PISCES: Feb. 21 – March 20 It's good to have compassion for people but this is no time to be overly kind. Your inner "hard ass" needs to show up if you're going to get past this. As you prepare for the next round of BS try to keep your sense of humor and watch others continue to lie through their teeth. It will take two more months for things to play out. No need to worry; you can sit back and watch people shoot themselves in the foot, or you can leave them to their nonsense and move on to the next thing. The next thing will take you beyond all of this; give yourself enough of a break to get on with it.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20 You have done everything you can to make this work. What happens next depends on fate, and maybe a little on luck. If your motives have been clear and your soul is free of the issues that keep so many of us from realizing our dreams, your heart's desire is within reach. Time is of the essence. So is the need to come to terms with a few things. Those of you who can step out of your ego long enough to face yourself will be better off than those of you who keep denying it. No amount of manipulation will turn things in your favor. Like everything else, this is an inside job.

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20 Standing in the middle of your life you're wondering what things would look like if all of this got rearranged. Desperately wanting to return to some state of balance, you're smart enough to know that it can only be achieved if you get back to center. For the next few weeks you're going to need to let go of your preoccupation with what others want out of this, and figure out where you really stand. Because it isn't about them, or anything external. All of this would look fine to you if you could find a way to see it that isn't colored by the need for everything to stay the same.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20 It'll be a few more weeks before the fruits of your labor come to life. In the meantime, forces that give you cause to doubt yourself will be all over the place. This is what happens when our dreams come to the moment of realization. It will help you to keep that thought in mind and remain humble enough to keep praying. As time gives way to the next thing, the trials of the last year or so will evaporate in the face of what has always been true. In just a few months your trials will end. Keep your shoulder to the wheel and your eye on what matters more than anything.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20 You've got everything wrapped up perfectly. Things appear to be working out in your favor. If the way you feel about it belies that statement, then you're either looking at the glass as half full, or this is all a pretense. Changing your tune will bring you to the point where you are able to grok the fact that you created this. If you've come to the realization that you've outgrown it, it might be time to rearrange things. You don't like being in situations where you don't know what will happen next. Relax. This is what happens when it comes time to turn your life around.

LEO: July 21 – Aug. 20 Several adjustments need to be made, at the practical level, and/or in your attitude, and in your core beliefs. If there was ever a time when the ability to walk your talk mattered more than anything, this is it. What you wish for is already here. Your ability to step up and be there for it is more to the point. Getting to the place of knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are being guided by higher forces is a primary issue. Ordinary life drags us down in ways that make us forget who we are. You're in the middle of a spiritual upgrade; wake up to what it means to you.

VIRGO: Aug. 21 – Sept. 20 You guys hold so much light; it's amazing the way you shine. The worst thing that can happen to a Virgo is when life, people, and circumstances conspire to burn you out. At the moment, there's enough going on in your reality for all, or just one aspect of it, to be rocking you to the core. No matter how lost or out of touch you feel, all of this is coming together to give you a chance to reclaim yourself. The world works in mysterious ways. After a period of intensity and confusion you will be redeemed by events that have been woven together to carry you back to the light.

LIBRA: Sept. 21 – Oct. 20 You are sitting on the cusp of a change that will give you a whole new set of problems to deal with. It will be interesting to see how you handle it when what you wanted more than anything finally comes to pass. Others are very much part of this. As much as you are totally clear about what needs to happen, you're just as clear about the fact that you may not be ready for what it will require of you. Once you find your balls, stepping into a bigger pair of shoes, and growing up, and owning the fact that you're ready to chew up tons of old Karma, will start to feel doable.

SCORPIO: Oct. 21 – Nov. 20 Too many fish to fry is showing you how hard it is for you to have this much going on. What seemed so good at the time has boiled down to realizing that you've gone too far afield. This will mean different things for all of you. No matter how the shoe fits, your self-preservation depends upon how well you are able to scroll back and anchor yourself to the one thing that always keeps you centered in the midst of change. The thought that you might have to limit yourself obscures the truth; you can be, and do, and have anything you want — as long as you know who you are.

SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 21 – Dec. 20 You have come to terms with your share of heartache. Those who accuse you of being too detached don't understand enough about life to see that your survival has depended upon your ability to remain above it all. For the last few months you've been thinking a lot about how it really feels to be the one to do this. For once in your life the things you could never say, or give yourself the right to feel, need to be felt and said. Now may not be the time, but sooner or later this backlog of energy will find expression and release you from the need to keep it to yourself.
