Horoscopes – May 16 to May 29, 2013

All Signs

What if you could wipe the slate clean and start over. Would you? What would you do differently this time around? I’m sure we’ve all had our moments when we’ve thought about this, and in our story-telling and media we often envision that this means that we must leave our past behind. However, in reality we can’t forget our past or simply pretend that it doesn’t exist. Like a fir tree that finds life, security, and a foundation from which to grow upon a stump in a second growth forest, we take what we have learned and create our lives anew each day. If we learn to use our past knowledge to think “outside the box,” so to speak, we can set ourselves free from destructive or limiting patterns of behaviour. So get busy creating! Break your own limits by forcing yourself to do what scares you the most: apply for that dream job, go back to school, talk to that person who inspires you, write down those words, or paint that canvas. It doesn’t matter. Just do it.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You feel driven, even antsy and agitated, because you can see what needs to be done to attain your goals. So why don’t you do it? What are you waiting for? It’s like as if you are standing on a high-diving board, but instead of standing poised on the edge, you are still on the platform. You glance at the water every now and then while you dance around trying to psych yourself up for the jump. Like every other time this has happened in your life, the jump will not be nearly as scary or “bad” as you think it will. In the meantime, you are only causing yourself and those around you unnecessary stress because of your procrastination.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Beware! Beware! The moody, sulky, possessive side of you is currently taking over your personality. What’s the matter? Life still isn’t exciting enough for you? Well, I would say that your current state of being is the result of too much activity and not enough down-time. If things aren’t happening fast enough for you, it’s because they’re not meant to right now. The satisfaction and fulfillment you feel you gain from all the glitter and glamour (or money, security, possessions) you’ve been collecting from the outside world is available on an inward plane, if you would only take the time to look. What hole, exactly, are you trying to fill?

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Have you ever noticed that whatever you have truly set your mind to, or asked the universe for, you have been able to achieve/receive? I know you don’t believe this right now, but it’s true. And at the moment the universe is conspiring to flood your body and life with a thunderbolt of energy. This energy is available to use in whatever way you wish. So get dreaming! Set your intent! Steer the boat in any direction you please, but be aware that it is YOU who is at the helm. Ignite your will, or intent, instead of hiding it behind layers of self-doubt and lethargy.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You desperately want to set yourself free. Whether this is from a relationship, a job, or your own self-doubt, it doesn’t matter. The intensity of the feeling is the same. You feel trapped, and yet you also feel comfortable in this position. As a result, you sabotage any action toward personal freedom because you don’t want to face the initial sorrow that would inevitably follow. You need to let go. The sorrow will pass. It’s just a kind of mourning for what seems like the only reality you’ve ever known. (This isn’t true of course, how could it be? You’ve changed and adapted many times since the day you were born.) Are you going to let fear get in the way of your dreams?

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You must be taking lessons from Gemini lately as you seem to have a multiple personality syndrome. However, before you retreat and try to “fix” yourself let’s look at what’s really going on. Whatever the focus in your life, whether you have a million projects on your plate or a singular one with many facets, you are drawing upon many different kinds of resources to achieve your end goal. This is good, it creates synergy. However, it can leave you feeling a little haggard or stretched thin, like you don’t know whether you’re coming or going or who you are. To help with this, remember that all the personalities this resourcing requires you to be are you. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to wearing all those different hats over time.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Ah ha! You have a bit of a difficult task ahead of you, Virgo. In your gut, you already know what I’m talking about, don’t you? The conundrum that you are faced with is how to live, and act, and be by logic that stems from innocence. That’s right, your spirit is pushing you to see that you can walk this world with the open and wondrous view of a child and still meet every day needs like rent and food money, and yes even attain or maintain a career. What makes your heart sing? Is it the act of play, art, outdoor sports, writing, working with numbers? Let the feeling of innocence guide you as you decide who you are and where you are going at this time.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

The time has come for you to take stock of your reality. What do you want, and what don’t you want? Ask these questions of everything you are doing: where you are, what you possess, and who you associate with. By doing so you will be able to draw up a plan that better suites who you are today, as opposed to 10 or 20 years ago. That person, in some ways, doesn’t exist anymore. Just make sure that the answers come from your heart and not from your head. I know, I know, it’s hard for you to do, but how about you just give it a try and see what happens? I promise, your feelings will not steer you in the wrong direction.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

If you were to look at yourself and the way you conduct your life from the outside, what would you see? Furthermore, if you were to do so with a cool detachment with no emotional investment in any one outcome of any one plan, what do you think you would do differently? You are a multi-faceted person who presents him/herself differently to the world depending on who you are talking to or what you are trying to accomplish. This isn’t a bad thing. This just means that right now you are trying to make all of those selves work together; to have some kind of cohesive glue at the core. That core is you and your intent. What’s the bigger picture? What are you trying to accomplish that goes beyond any one thing you are doing with your life now?

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Don’t let narrow minded thinking stand in your way. Pay attention to your dreamtime, both asleep and awake. Who’s talking? Pretend for a minute that you believe in reincarnation and that the ideas, feelings, epiphanies, and dreams you’ve been having lately are those of your past lives. Whether or not this is true, you are still drawing on inner resources that you did not know you have. Ride the wave and be greedy. Let yourself think big picture. However, be aware that this kind of action can get you into trouble. If you want to change things in a relationship or workplace environment and you are met with resistance, you will probably have to be okay with letting go and moving on.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

If you want magic to happen, you’ve got to remember to keep doing exactly what you are already. Shouldn’t be too hard, should it? Well, actually it could be. Currently life seems to be taking you along for a ride. You don’t really know what you’re doing or what direction you’re going in. But that’s okay because your heart is more at ease and you have more trust in yourself and the universe. This trust is why magic wants to play with you, but this is where it could get tricky. If you get caught up in overthinking why good things are happening to you, like maybe you don’t deserve good things, you’ll mess it up. So just go on trusting yourself, dammit!

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Sometimes compromises have to be made, and if you want harmony of interaction with family and friends, you are going to have to learn to do just that. It doesn’t matter if you understand where these others are coming from; their points of view, what matters is that you are willing to try things their way for a change. See, the thing is, if you value these relationships the time has come to show it. Don’t take advantage of the love that others give you or one day you’ll look up and those loved ones will no longer be there.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Change is taking place, you are just at the centre of it so it can be hard to see at times. Remember that every step is part of the process, and so is everything you think, feel and experience. It won’t do you any good to try and step ahead of the game. Follow your gut and do what comes naturally. Listen to the voice that tells you that you need to be gentle with yourself and not take on too much all at once. The change that is taking place is not just about career, goals, or money, it’s also about being happy.

Horoscopes – May 2 to 15, 2013

All Signs

Imagine, if you can, a dandelion on your front lawn. Being as this plant is a weed in your eyes, you go to your garden shed and take out your weed killer. You spray the vibrant yellow blossom liberally, making sure to soak the leaves and roots as well. You check the weed daily, noticing how it browns and wilts and eventually dies and you can no longer find any trace of its existence. This process is similar to what happens when our will or individual intent is squashed or distorted by the incessant over-thinking of the mind. Born in innocence, those dreams that matter most seem so bright, vibrant, and attainable until the “real” world comes along and fills us full of doubt and places obstacles in our path. Don’t believe the weed killer. For even weeds have adapted and become resistant to our human-made chemicals.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Sometimes you envision who you want to be when you grow up, and though you may be in your twenties, thirties, forties or fifties, this goal still feels like it’s a long way off. You picture someone who is self-confident, capable, creative, recognized by their peers, and you look at yourself and think, “I’m not even close.” Not true, my friend. Not true. You are much closer than you think. You have learned from your mistakes and you do conduct yourself with integrity learned through pain, suffering, joy, and love. You really do know what you want. Now own it. My prediction for you is that sometime within the next year you will suddenly come to realize that you actually feel your age. And it will be glorious.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

You can’t plan out every moment of the day. It’s not possible, so you need to stop trying. You are only causing yourself stress. Right now the universe is teaching you how to be in the moment, as cliché as that sounds. This isn’t about flaking out and deciding to shirk your responsibilities, it’s about learning to trust your gut in any given situation. Why should you learn to trust your gut? Well, because your brain gets in the way too much. Opportunities are missed because you have been too focussed on creating your desired outcome by sticking to one course of action. When you intone your intent out into the universe, you’ve got to give some latitude for the ways in which it can respond. This is how magic manifests itself in your life.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Oh! The door is creaking open. You are starting to realize that maybe the ideas you’ve held about “the way things are,” may be just a teeny bit narrow minded. Your feet are telling you something. They want to walk into the unknown, they want to explore, they want excitement and the unexpected. This might be manifesting itself as grumpy behaviour on your part. You might feel unsatisfied with everything. This is because you’re thinking all the time and your imagination trying to run wild, but you feel confined even in these thoughts. Ahem. You are the only one creating this confinement. No one, and no thing, is holding you back but yourself. Trust your feet. They will lead you in the right direction.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

It would be great if there was a ritual in Western culture that gave people a way to celebrate each time they came closer to being who they really are, like blessing the newly revealed layers of an onion and eventually finding a jewel in the centre. Your soul has unrestricted access to your consciousness at this time. This means that you know with your gut that the actions you are taking, the emotions you are feeling, and who you know yourself to be, are true and whole. This feeling creates a sense of freedom, and it makes you want to dance and sing; it makes you want to rejoice. I say revel in it. Express your divinity in whatever way your hands itch to exert their creative energies.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Are you feeling a little lonely these days? A little like the outsider; you don’t really fit in? Aww, come on Leo, don’t you know you’re supposed to put up with all the bullshit and play the game too? Just kidding. You don’t have to put up with anything. And you don’t, and that’s why you’re feeling isolated. You’re tired of the small talk, you’re tired of narrow view points and even narrower world views that many around you hold. You want to be surrounded by people who are truthful not only with others, but with themselves. Just get the old thinking cap on and generate a few ideas as to where you could find these kinds of people. Don’t let your ego get in the way and try to tell you you’re the only one.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

I’d say that where you’re at right now coincides nicely with this time of year. Maybe you’re just that tuned in to the planet, who knows? In any case, similar to spring growth, there is a lot of change taking place both inwardly and outwardly. You might feel a little off balance or like you don’t know which direction you are going in. You might even be dealing with drastic things like losing your job, or your relationship may be going through a rough time. But if you close your eyes for a few minutes and open your inner perception to your own body, emotions, and energy you will probably be shocked to find that there is colour, vibrancy, excitement, growth and beauty. Like spring, you are emerging from hibernation and though you may not know it yet, you do have access to resources.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

True change or personal understanding does not, contrary to media produced cultural understanding, take place all at once. It happens in stages as we learn to adjust our behaviour and responses to circumstances. That being said, we learn more and more each time we are presented with a challenge, and you are going through one such learning process now, Libra. The epiphanies you have been having over the last while are going to converge and create an even greater understanding of many things. At the centre of this learning, is your personal journey to self-recognition. Your ego will not fare well, I’m afraid, but your heart will.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Something is stopping you from actualizing the progress you were expecting to see at this point in time. Would you like to know what it is? Are you sure? Well, there are actually two things going on. On the one hand you have buried your head and heart in the past and you are unwilling to let go, and on the other, you have forgotten the creative being that lives within you. These two energetic expressions mean that everything you set into motion right now tends to behave in a fragmented way and does not last over time. On top of this, you feel unsatisfied and antsy. To move through all this you will have to face why you can’t move on from past feelings or events and open yourself to what being creative means to you.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You know that Paul Simon song that goes “slow down, you’re moving too fast, you gotta make the moments last”? This song could be your mantra right now. You’ve been burning the candle at both ends and if you don’t stop you’re going to burn yourself out. If, however, you do heed this advice and create more quiet moments within your day, you will find that an extraordinary amount of personal growth is waiting to take place. But perhaps this is what scares you? Are you afraid that if you look within you will only find demons? Take a moment to consider just how absurd that belief is. You are a good person. And the point of the exercise is not to rip open old wounds, but to discover more of the gloriousness that is you!

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

It’s as if a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. You have turned a corner psychologically and there is no going back. This corner, for you, came in the form of letting go. You have decided that all the worries you clutched so close to your chest are not worth your time and effort. You have also decided to take down the wall you built around your heart to keep people out. Accepting and feeling the love that others have to give you is providing some much needed healing. In the big picture all of this is really about surrendering to what feels good to you. You do not need to suffer in order to attain enlightenment, whatever enlightenment means to you.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

In your reality, summer is already here. You’ve got the BBQ cleaned and ready, the deck furniture out of storage, and you’re soaking up the sunshine every chance you get. You don’t care about schedules and you don’t have any great big plans (well, none that need your attention right now). Believe it or not, this attitude is completely in-line with your soul’s intent. There’s no dramatic shift on your horizon and no impending issues that need to be dealt with. You need time to simply do what feels right in the moment and enjoy the sense of peace, freedom, and contentment this action brings you.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Many opportunities are converging for you, Pisces. Keep active and engaged, draw on the reservoir of energy that you sense pooling beneath your feet. Now is the time to let loose your workaholic tendencies and engage with the million items on your to-do list. There are many resources available to you in terms of both people and opportunities, thus, if you keep going with what you know to do you will see and experience the fruits of your labours.

Horoscopes – April 17 to May 1, 2013

All Signs

What are you sitting on the fence for? What is it, exactly, that you find so scary about jumping into your future, into what you know to be right for you? Your inner self beacons and an adventure is peaking over the horizon, so why not let go of the monkey on your back, the one that tells you ‘I am not good enough,’ and go for it? Well, to be quite frank, your fears stem from the fact that though you have jumped into the unknown before, this time is different. What you feel you have to offer the world, or what you can create for yourself, is somehow not as safe. Whether or not you are conscious of it, what you want to do may be seen as existing outside culturally accepted norms. (Although, this could just be an illusion created by your fear so that you have an excuse not to move forward.) And even if it is true, isn’t it about time you stood up for yourself?

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

The exhaustion that keeps pulling you down into a spiraling vortex of bad luck, melancholy, and general self-indulgence (because, come on, let’s call it what it is), only has a small basis in reality. Yes, you have been working hard, and maybe not everyone recognizes this fact, but you have also been a full participant in things not going your way. What do you do when things get hard? Do you follow old patterns of self-destruction, or do you pull up your britches and keep going? Nobody is going to do it for you. However, you have much more support than you allow yourself to recognize. Listen to your own inner knowing, face your fears, and look to the future.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Your experience of life at this time could be classified as ho-hum, dullsville, or you know, just downright boring. You may be wondering where all the excitement is, or better yet, why is everyone else experiencing it but you? Well, let’s just take a minute and remember everything you have been through in the last year. There has been a lot of breakthrough, new beginnings, and yes, excitement. Maybe you’ve just gotten used to being in the ‘lime-light’, hmmm? Everything in nature goes through cycles, you are simply in that stage where you are meant to take a deep breath and reflect. Take advantage of this time by allowing yourself to dream of the next big adventure, the next idea, the next change that will take hold of your life and sweep you away.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Those of us old enough to remember the days without cell phones or the internet, often get a good chuckle (or perhaps we shake our heads in shame) over how connected and dependant younger generations are on these technologies. Often we brag that we were sent outside to play, or that, to us, social networking meant actually engaging with real flesh-and-blood people. Well guess what, we can’t get off that easy. It’s time for you to get off the couch, meet up with old friends or find new ones, and get out into the world. You have created all kinds of excuses not to get out there, but in your heart of hearts, you do know that these are just excuses. And besides, you won’t find any solutions to your financial or career problems by staring at a screen. Open up to the magic that is available to you.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

When change comes, sometimes it thunders through our lives fast and furious. And even if we’ve been expecting it, praying for it, and thinking that it will come, when it does it can be a shock to the system. Don’t let this short-term feeling of being overwhelmed get in your way. You have no idea what the universe has in store for you so don’t inhibit the process by shutting down or self-destructing when things have only just started to get going. Warning: this change does mean that you will have to get over a few fears, the biggest of which is the one that tells you that you are not worthy. Come on, you only live once. I believe in you. Are you ready to believe in yourself?

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Is there such thing as success won through the unplanned wanderings of the fool? In your case, Leo, there is. You may not know how it happened, or why, but things are going your way right now. The dreams you hold within you are coming to fruition even though you have not planned a direct path to achieve their ends. In fact, others around you may be a bit jealous because to them it looks like you are attaining success through blind luck. This is not so, however. It’s all a matter of your core intent and this core intent, no matter how secondary you have placed it in terms of your everyday thinking, is still on track and creating results. Ride the wave while it lasts.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

The shield you have built around your heart is crumbling. This will not be an easy time for you as this shield, built to protect you from pain and sorrow, has become part of your identity. You have become quite used to saying no to new situations and people. You even tell them, ‘I’m just not that kind of person’, and through this you have pushed opportunity away. However, you are more than this and the universe is going to push you into situations that force you to trust. Yes, there it is, that evil word: trust. Though your conscious mind tells you that this is about your ability (or not) to trust other people, what it’s really about is trusting yourself. Everything happens for a reason. Take that past pain, created by ‘bad decisions’ and learn from it. Beauty and joy await you.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

The creative juices are flowing. Ideas abound. You are receptive to life, new viewpoints, and change in a way that you have not been for a very long time. Take advantage of this time, do what your heart calls you to do, and allow yourself to have fun in the process. Yes, you can have fun. It is OK if the weight of the world is not on your shoulders for a while, you have nothing to feel guilty about. Be warned though, this receptivity works two ways. By this I mean that you will have to adapt even more to the experience of feeling and emotion in your life. I know this is a taboo issue for you (or at least that’s what you want the outside world to think), but if you fight against it you will only cause yourself stress. Besides, you’re not a robot. Are you?

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Think of the chakras in the body: higher self, third eye, throat, heart, will, womb, and root. Hold this image in your mind and imagine the higher self and the third eye coming into alignment with the will. You can see the possibilities, can’t you? Your intent (will) in-line with your higher self (consciousness). For an intellectual such as yourself, there could not be a more enticing concept. Well, that’s what is happening for you over the next while, Scorpio, so make the best of it. Act with integrity, meditate on your intent, and demand of yourself true wholeness in your actions. Then sit back and watch what happens.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You may be feeling more like a hermit these days, but the outward manifestation of this reality is that you are giving yourself permission to trust. You might ask how these two things go hand in hand, especially when the inward time is so personal, so vast, so far from the comprehension of those you associate with. You are on a journey, and you know it. Your dreams are where you know this truth the most. This inward journey is teaching you things about the outside world (and those you love), that you have not quite brought into your own consciousness yet. Think of it this way, your instinctive reactions will change before your brain has had time to catch up and your old patterns of mistrust will melt away and become cliché.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You wanted a sign. You have been praying and hoping and hinging the value of your existence in expectation of this sign. It doesn’t matter what this means to you, whether it’s that you are looking for a new job, or you are hopeful that that certain someone will notice you, or whether you want to go sit on the top of a mountain for the rest of your life, the fact remains: you want someone to tell you what to do, preferably the universe. Well, get ready. Magic is on the way and things will start looking up where before they looked so hopeless. But there’s a twist. This sign will come from inside of you. You will discover a new vision, a new plan, a new way of looking at the world that had not occurred to you before. Your only job is to trust your gut and not get lost in a mire of self-doubt.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Admit it, you have no idea what you are doing these days. You feel like a kid on the first day of school, the one who has not yet made friends or discovered the social rules of a school setting. But it’s not in your nature to admit such things, is it? You want to be in control, or at least you want it to appear that you are in control. The problem is, you have gone past the point of believing your own arrogance and this means you won’t be able to hide the truth so well anymore. So why not compromise? Why not let go of the illusion of control and see what others have to offer you when you do not use your powers of coercion or manipulation? If you do, that scared little kid inside might not feel so vulnerable and lost. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

What is the biggest challenge for you right now, Pisces? It may sound simple, but it’s not, especially for you. Your biggest challenge is staying focussed. Yes, you read that right. Focus. Don’t let anyone take you off track. The plans you have in motion at this time, those plans that you have worked so hard to create space to execute, are busting you open and helping you to claim your own mastery. Sounds awesome, right? I agree. The problem is, you are so easily taken off track by the needs of others, by your own inability to stick to one thing, and one thing only. Oh look, the sun is shining! Maybe you should go enjoy the day. Wait a minute. Is this distraction in the best interest of your goals? If not, sit your butt back down and finish what you are doing. If, however, you know with your gut that going out into the sunshine will further your own intent, then by all means, go for it.

Horoscopes – April 3 – 17, 2013

All Signs

Be prepared to fall in love. Be prepared to have your heart thrown wide open and to experience new facets of being through shared experience with others. The thing with love, is it’s tricky. You think I’m only talking about finding your “soul mate” or having a passionate love affair and finding a friend for life. Don’t be so limited in your thinking. Many of you will be graduating and heading off into new directions on your life’s path, and love comes in many different forms. You could fall in love with a place, a career path, an idea or muse. You get the picture. This kind of love is no less vulnerable and full of exploration of the unknown than the love shared between two human beings. So strap in and enjoy the ride.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

The daily routine of work, eat, sleep is starting to wear on you. You feel as though life is dull and uneventful, for you anyway. Everyone else is having all the fun. However, you are aware that the work you do now is a form of sacrifice for future goals, and if you just hold on and don’t give up, things will change. Your hard work will pay off in the form of new connections, a sense of community and the ecstasy that can be experienced with finally realizing your goals.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

What is it you really want to do? Are you on track with this dream? I tend to think so, as life, at almost every corner, is presenting you with magic and possibilities that could lead to harmonious and joyful outcomes if you allow it. However, it doesn’t hurt to check every once in a while. If life is shitty for you right now, you might want to reassess your goals and priorities and own up to what calls you above anything else.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

You’re one of those people who tends to still think, even as an adult, that the world doesn’t understand you. You are all alone in your experience. Thus you remain stuck, and often you find that you cannot move in any direction even if you know it will make you happier. Open to the understanding of others and widen your perception to the ways in which humanity is, in fact, homogenous in many of its characteristics. Your artistic self wants to bloom, but it can only do so if you to take a strong and affirmative step onto whatever road you choose.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

It’s OK to protect the tender shoots of new understanding and self-awareness. If you need to retreat from the world for a while, that’s just part of the process. However, though you may be tempted, try not to follow old, self-destructive patterns and thus perpetuate your notion that you are not worthy or that no one cares. You have an opportunity to tap your own creative and intellectual reservoir and gift others around you in the long run through moments of self-reflective epiphany.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Don’t be afraid to take things in stride this summer. If you plan too much, you will miss opportunities that are waiting to knock on your door. The fact that you are unsure about exactly what you want to do is an indicator that you should not jump on any band wagon just yet. Follow your heart, your feet, your spur-of-the-moment impulses and see where the day takes you. There is no wrong path here. You will only find what you are looking for by not looking. Ha!

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

If you ever want to truly understand what patience really feels like, ask an expectant mother. Little does this mother know, however, how much more patience she will have to exercise once the child is actually born. Now, I’m not asking you to be patient with others, or with the world around you. I’m asking you to be patient with yourself. You are like that newborn child, or even better, a two-year-old. You are learning about new aspects of life all over again. You are exploring and you might fall down and skin your knee. There’s no need to get mad at yourself. You are learning from your own mistakes.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You’ve been given an opportunity. In some form or another, someone has handed you the means to accomplish your goals, or to make your life easier. Think of it this way: you are standing at the top of a long staircase, your hand on a doorknob. The door you are about to open looms in your mind as some kind of insurmountable task. But you are making a mountain out of a molehill. If you just turn the knob, you will actually experience less stress than you are now. In other words: it’s OK to ask for help.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

You are like a monk coming down from the mountain. Life feels a little surreal as you adjust to the outside world. Be deliberate in your actions, weigh them against your inner integrity meter and don’t be hasty in your decision making. By doing so, you will find that your responses to life will be more holistic and thus more truly representative of who you are. This kind of deliberate action will yield success and signal an end to the long string of “bad luck” you’ve been experiencing.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

As your heart cracks open and you learn to allow yourself to expose your vulnerability to those people who have helped you feel a sense of safety, remember that love is also one of the many tools used by life to teach valuable lessons. This does not mean that you should shut down and return to a stance of mistrust. Rather, it means keep plunging forward and embrace all that life has to offer. The underlying message here? Life is complicated and unpredictable. But that’s why it’s so glorious. I assure you, you don’t want to miss out.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

The feeling that we are separate from each other and from nature is largely a Western world view. In many indigenous societies, there is no separation between the individual and the group and the landscape in which they reside. It might help you to remember this in the coming weeks. Your belief that you are alone is an illusion, one that you are only helping to reinforce by pushing loved ones away. Seek out what inspires you. Go after it like your life depends on it. Don’t let anything stand in your way. In doing so you will find others with whom you feel a kindred connection.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

What is your idea of a moral person? Now, now, don’t assume you know what others deem to be moral. Though we like to think morality is universal we all have very different ideas about what constitutes a moral person depending on personal life circumstances and cultural influence. It is noble to stand up for what you feel is right, but make sure you do some soul searching before you decide to condemn those who hold your attention.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

You are like a projection screen, upon which the goals and ambitions of others endeavor to display themselves. Don’t fall for it, Pisces. You have a unique path, one which only you can tread. If you allow the needs, wants, and desires of others to become your story, or be the burden you bear, how will you have time and energy to project your own story out into the universe? Seize opportunities as they arise, but don’t feel obligated to any particular one, especially if your gut tells you that it is not furthering your intent. And no, this is not equal to being selfish. The integrity with which you handle yourself will make the distinction for you.
