Aries (March 20-April 19) Have you ever had the experience of starting to feel good, and then you get nervous and feel unstable, like relaxing is inviting a disaster? If you start to get that sensation, now is the perfect time to work with it and see what’s lurking beneath it. There are a few different possibilities, including having inherited a guilt trip from various ancestors. The suggestion from Chiron in your sign is practice feeling accepted for who you are — including and especially your sexual orientation and relationship preferences. This sense of acceptance comes from you, not from others.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) Your financial situation is better than you think. However, I would still suggest a thorough overview of your spending habits, sources of income, and your assets. It is arguable that Taurus is one of the most frugal signs, though you might ask yourself if this works for you, if you take it too far, and if you could do better investing a little more in yourself. The spiritual element of this equation is to work with the seemingly elusive and unknown thing about yourself that you are often chasing.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) Your life is surging ahead at an unusual pace. The question is, what direction are you headed? I suggest you resist any temptation to leap in the direction of what seems like forward. Your ideas about your reality will need some time to develop, as certain previously concealed facts come to light. However, you may also feel the tug of destiny or find yourself with some kind of offer that seems too interesting to turn down. Whether you make a move or hold, what is changing is your relationship to the past and the power that history has seemed to hold over you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Study what is old. Go through the attic, the basement, the drawers, the old photos and the diaries. There are mysteries to be solved in looking through the trash, and surprising clues in antique shops, and dusty salvage stores that are like museums of practical history. Look around both for what is familiar and unfamiliar, and pay attention to your many responses. Though it may seem like an odd thing to propose, this is first-rate spiritual seeking for you, under the influence of the current astrology. The past is bubbling up with its wisdom, its cautions and its messages.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) You may choose to assert yourself publicly, which will be one way to find out if you are right or wrong. However, I would propose your current impulses are more driven by curiosity than the need to prove something. If you stick with that drive to understand, you’ll have more fun, and not take any risks before you’re ready to do so. You are onto something real, though there is plenty that is cloaked, veiled and waiting to emerge. A door is opening now, and it will continue to allow in as much information as you don’t resist or judge.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) You seem to have big professional plans, though now is probably not the time to act. You may feel under pressure to do so, and that should be especially encouraging of interposing a little delay in taking action. The thing to look for are the opportunities and the openings where you can express all of your talents and all of your assets. You want to be in the place where you can be your whole self, and practice your primary spiritual exercise in this lifetime: personal integration. Your chart is saying, look for the potential you have never seen before.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) People are limited by their beliefs. Most of the time, we do not experience things we do not previously deem possible. Generally, belief stands between you and all the potential in the universe. So practice identifying beliefs you want to change. Notice the limits you place on yourself, particularly in two areas: your language, and what you see as your options. Revise your choice of words to facilitate greater possibilities. Replace “impossible” with “unusual” as a small step. This may seem like magical thinking, though what it’s doing is working with the quality of thought that sets limits on your experiences.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) If you have ever felt destined to accomplish great things, take that out for a ride this week. You are in an excellent place to exceed any previous potential, or idea about what might have limited you. However, there’s a catch, which is you must take the bold step of seeing your destiny as being separate from that of anyone else with whom you are intimately connected. This does not mean the relationship will not last into the future. But it cannot be a contractual arrangement to limit yourself. Step away from any such arrangements, and stand at your full stature.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) It is time to come to terms with the reality of a relationship situation. This includes figuring out how you got to the place you are right now. There’s still plenty of potential to the relationship, if you are willing to let go of your notions of what form it should take, or should have taken. Has it occurred to you that your expectations and projections onto the situation are getting you less than you deserve, need or desire? Step back from the drama and start with the specific ways you know you are safe and held gently by the universe.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You need a whole new concept of “health” and of “wellness.” You now have the occasion to think that through, and to enact decisions you made long ago. You are trying to resolve a situation where your values do not seem to reconcile. It may be easier to take the path that seems familiar, though I suspect you know that the unfamiliar and more challenging route is the one you need to take. In all ways, the time has come to point yourself to the future. Knowing your present location in time, space and personal history is essential.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You are in possession of considerable creative potential. The thing about tapping into it, or activating it, is that you can release hidden karma. For example, you finally get around to beginning a long-planned project and suddenly an obstacle arises, even several of them. Too often, the solution is to avoid doing anything that is too much fun, or which seems too free or creative. I suggest you work with this property. You are opening a door to your manifesting power, and though you may meet some resistance, an obstacle or interference, it’s crucial that you not take this personally.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Find reasons to appreciate where you are, both geographically and domestically, because you’re likely to be here for a while longer. If you cannot go far, take the opportunity to go deep: to see your surroundings as a new place, no matter how familiar they may be. This is a poetic exercise and a pragmatic one: surprises and discoveries await you, close to where you are. Get a handle on your living space, in terms of cleaning, organizing and discarding what you do not need. There will be some magic in doing this: an energy effect of breaking stuck patterns. ..........................................................................................
