signs

Aries (March 20-April 19) Something you do or say may provoke a response from someone who thinks they have authority over you. This won’t be an especially radical action on your part; it will be more like something ordinary that is just the thing to do. Try not to act like anyone has power over you. It’s questionable whether they do. And any influence will be minimized if you don’t play into a reaction or drama. Saunter off and keep doing your thing. I would suggest being particularly careful in any environment where alcohol is present, and add that you don’t want to make any decisions under the influence of even a little of the stuff.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) You will solve a problem twice. The first time will be on the conceptual level, and the second time will be about putting your plan to work. So if you get the idea all of a sudden but you don’t know how to make it happen, be patient, and refrain from taking action till the full plan comes to you. Also, you don’t need to over think anything, such as wondering whether this or that is “too radical” or “too extreme.”

Gemini (May 20-June 21) The inner sense is the one that’s been hurt the most by our overwhelming digital environment. Mercury standing still in Taurus is helping center your awareness inwardly. That also means physically, and you may be receiving messages about how to better care for your body. If you study the relationship between where you place your awareness and how you feel physically, you will make a discovery or two over the next few days.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Take a relaxed approach to any private or sensitive information that you may reveal about yourself. I don’t mean passwords or banking information: I mean actual things about you, how you feel and what you want. You don’t need to act — ever. Sincerity works beautifully for you, particularly in situations where you’re visible and have responsibility for anyone or anything besides your most personal affairs.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) Actions you take or words you say could have a far wider impact than you imagine possible. It could be so wide that you don’t even find out about the influences. Therefore, keep it positive, and real, and as you move through life, maneuver gently. Your best work and most positive possibilities are in the realm of ideas. You have plenty, and you will have more. The key is not being attached to them, or to any outcome.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Your ruling planet Mercury is holding a steady position as it is now stationed direct. If this astrology is serving you, you’re getting the message to delay something, and you may be wrestling with an ethical issue of some kind. That would be a wholesome and productive use of the current planetary setup. Meanwhile the Sun in Gemini is encouraging you to take leadership, and to do so in a visible way. You will have to make these two influences work collaboratively.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) If a partner of some kind, whether business or personal, seems reactive, do your best not to let it trigger you emotionally. You are in a potential perfect storm situation; however, if you are self-aware, you can maintain control over yourself. The key here — not everyone is good at this, and I’m not one to talk but anyway — is realizing that it’s not about you. What others are going through is their trip.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) Small decisions will get you far, particularly related to your health and your work. You don’t need to make radical changes; rather, take small opportunities to make meaningful adjustments. Where health is concerned, make sure any analysis involves the role of alcohol on your physical and emotional constitution. This is not a moral issue; it’s a holistic one. Be objective and skip the judgments.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) Your astrology remains in maximum creative mode, so ride that wave, or that tiger. The planets describe self-discovery above all else, and that would rightly include some form of erotic experience. That makes many people nervous. If that includes you, you have the choice to confront the challenge. There’s plenty of opportunity in doing so, though you may be running into some moralistic conditioning. For all its reputation as the bold adventurer of the zodiac, your sign has a prude streak to it. But is that really you? Where is this influence coming from?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You may feel like something is holding you back from expressing an idea or a feeling. However, you’ve already resolved the block. There definitely was one; but it now has no power to obstruct you. The matter is resolved, but you may not know it. Move forward incrementally, that is, one inch at a time. What counts is that you’re doing anything, rather than doing everything, or doing a lot.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You can do anything you want. The way is open, though potentially has its challenges. Rather than going forward in all directions, you might choose one thing that really has your interest. You have a grip on the usual work-related matters. However, you’re always happier when you conduct that activity with feeling, so don’t hold back there. I am referring mostly to what is wholly elective, and what you would do for the pleasure of creation, accomplishment or getting it done.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Mercury is now stationed direct in one of the most sensitive angles of your chart. This is the all-important 4th house, where you make decisions about whether you feel safe on the planet. This includes within your own four walls, your community, the world, and the cosmos generally. For you this is always a double-edged matter. There is always another possibility than the one you are living out. The feeling of safety and belonging usually has little to do with the material reality of the situation.
