Happy Birthday, Scorpio! 10/24 – 11/22: You are a walking contradiction so getting to a clearly defined truth of who you are and what you want to do is an intense frustration. Elements seem to conspire so that nothing is clearly defined and uncertainty reigns. Relax and go with the flow until next month if you can. Pushing for resolution will not get you any closer to the prize.

Aries: 3/21 – 4/20: A calm has descended and you’re more able to control your impulses. Specific adjustments are possible and necessary once you decide how you want to step out into the limelight. You may experience a need to get to your truth, but you have to throw out the misconceptions you’ve fostered for the last few months. Try to appreciate the structure you’re offered so you can realize your most valued goal. Your aim is true.
Taurus: 4/21 – 5/21: Your gift from the stars is the opportunity to re-evaluate your plans and clarify your actions. With Mars in retrograde motion in your sun sign, everything seems to push you to act, but you can find no real inspiration to do so. It’s best not to make commitments and there are consequences to nearly every action and re-action. Instead, try to enjoy and appreciate your self and body, especially during the middle of the month.
Gemini: 5/22 – 6/21: Your ability for quick thinking is a benefit to you now. Just be careful that you don’t out-think yourself. Slow down in your speech, since you have a strong tendency to use information against your own cause as well as take things the wrong way. Freudian slips can undermine your most cherished plans.
Cancer: 6/22 – 7/22: Feel your feelings and explore them, but don’t get caught up in them. Recover in solitude and take a retreat. You particularly need to have home and comfort to gather your strength after exposure to those who need your nurturing. Work will take most of your energy, but you have a clear direction and the tasks are defined. Your efforts will pay off.
Leo: 7/23 – 8/22: You’re probably not your exuberant self these days and responsibilities weigh heavily on you. Acknowledge your lack of joy so you can clarify what is missing in your daily routine. Don’t expect disappointment, but be realistic about the long-term project you’ve undertaken. Logic isn’t working on all fronts, so use your intuition. It’s particularly potent now.
Virgo: 8/23 – 9/23: Before someone leaves your life, glance over their shoulder and you’ll see what’s replacing them. There is so much change right now, you’ll soon pray for routine. So let go of what needs to be free so you can be free, too. Some of the blessings of the last year will become apparent to you now.

Libra: 9/24 – 10/23: You’ve become much more realistic about what you can accomplish. Some project you expanded beyond what was sensible will be subjected to review and whittled down to a manageable level Now you can proceed and achieve success without the distractions.
Sagittarius: 11/23 – 12/21: Things will lighten up a bit by the middle of the month. Take care that you aren’t making value judgements for others and pick your battles carefully. You vacillate and can’t decide which target to aim at. You may have to revise a long-standing philosophy later this month due to retrograde Mercury. Don’t get defensive about it. You are not your thoughts.
Capricorn: 12/22 – 1/20: Can you get more serious? Just make sure you know what’s important to you. Once that’s decided, you are free to lighten up. That dreamy feeling has been difficult for you to cope with and leaves you wondering if you’re being realistic or dreaming? It would help if you did a little of both.
Aquarius: 1/21 – 2/19: You’re naturally a little stubborn, but now you are stubborn in circumstances that don’t demand it. Take a little emotional space to be certain what or who you are fighting. You tend to see distortions and may not know if others are dragons or shadows. It’s probably not as it appears.
Pisces: 2/20 – 3/20: Extremes seem to be the emotional order of things and it’s easy to get mixed up. What is motivating you in your spiritual actions? Genius looks a little crazy and unconditional love seems impossible. Follow your intuition and you’ll wind up in the right place.
