All Signs
Most of us feel escalating pressure right now. Here's a recap in slo-mo: fiery Mars travels through each sign for about seven weeks. But this year, three weird things happen. (Actually, lots of weird things happen but let's keep it simple.) Instead of seven weeks, Mars stays in Pisces for six months. (Impossible! But not really.) Not only that, it comes closer to the Earth than it's been for over 60,000 years. (Impossible! But not really.) And while it hovers here, it lines up with explosive Uranus (computers, aviation, unpredictable events) which is also stuck in the same position all year. Hence -- flash floods, raging fires, gianormous computer viruses and mega blackouts. Privately, we each feel different accelerating demands in our own lives as well. My advice? 1. Pick up your hat. 2. Grab your coat. 3. Leave your worries on the doorstep. 4. Direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Lots of the difficulties you experienced this year are related to large institutions and the government. However, action and forward movement are now likely. Mars is finally moving away from Uranus, although it still remains in Pisces. Use this energy to wrap up fuzzy details about inheritances, estates, insurance matters, shared property, joint ownership and the obligations and duties you have to others. When the New Year arrives, you'll be excited and more enthused about life than you've been for a long time. You'll feel like a weight has been lifted from you. (Maybe even calories.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Bizarre happenings with friends and groups leave you perplexed and puzzled. Tauruses are nice guys. (You don't go looking for trouble.) If others are difficult to deal with now -- give them space. Don't even go there. Somehow, there will be a pleasant resolution (certainly an absence of confusion) after a couple of months. Meanwhile, this week's Full Moon is in your sign. That's why conversations with partners and close friends are a tad testy. However, consider the following: the only opportunity you get to practice patience and tolerance is if someone or something irks you. Therefore, in a weird way, this Full Moon is full of opportunities!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
All this weirdness (see All Signs above) triggers inexplicable events with parents, bosses and your long-term career direction. It's a crapshoot. tart with a known quantity: your real estate and family scene will definitely pick up now and in the next year. For sure. This month, your focus on employment is strong and purposeful. You're in the driver's seat. And at this stage in your life, you're thinking a lot about your values in general, and what to do to earn money. Therefore, these shakeups are quite appropriate to your scene. You don't have to have all the answers right now. But you can prepare for a job change in the future.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Right now, fun and love are a big hook. Your gonads are in overdrive and your creative impulses are keen. Party on! What's particularly unpredictable however, are dealings with the media, publishing, higher education, travel and foreign countries. Perhaps the law as well. (Oy vay.) You don't have to make a decision right now. But you can count on these areas to move forward and be resolved by January. (If you're a late born Cancer, you might have to wait until February.) If you're a Leo, you shouldn't be reading this. Until then, be patient in love. Move forward with employment and health. Move backward if you're angle parked or looking in the fridge.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This Full Moon tests your relationships with bosses and parents. Management fails to recognize that you're royalty. (Why?) Your parents know it but refuse to acknowledge it. (Why?) That grating high C that the ongoing Mars/Uranus conjunction (see above) inflicts on you manifests as difficulties with shared possessions, debt, joint responsibilities and the common ownership of something. You'll finish with these matters by the beginning of the year. Until then be encouraged by the fact that your earnings will probably increase in the next 10 to 12 months giving you more tax-deductible experiences!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Awright awreddy, lucky Jupiter's in your sign and you want to know why you ain't whistling Dixie. I'll tell you. (Come closer.) The nasty little phenomenon I described in All Signs above takes place directly opposite your sign. Yes -- this insanity opposes you! Your difficulties probably center on employment and partnerships. Think how bad this would be if Jupiter weren't here for the rescue. But lo! There shall be light at the end of thy tunnel. This crazy stuff will finally be over by January 1. Whereas lucky Jupiter stays with you until September 2004. Capice? Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus; he's just not taking calls right now.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Surprise moves and unexpected struggles and tension in the workplace plagued you this year. (Good and bad.) Similarly, it's been up and down with your health. (Good and bad.) Basically, you'll come out of this smelling like a rose because an undercurrent of ambition and determination moves you now. You want to improve your health and you've got big ideas for your job. It's important to believe in your future success because lucky Jupiter enters your sign late next year. That means good things are waiting for you. The trick is to hang on until then. That's only about 23 million seconds away. (You can do that.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Those difficult surprises and unpredictable moments that are mentioned in All Signs above have centered on your love life and your children this year. It's wearing, I know. On top of that, this Full Moon (Sunday at 5:13 p.m. PST) opposes your sign. Your best take on all this is the realization that it's true: no pain, no gain. And it ain't over until the fat lady sings. All the compassion, tolerance and generosity you will ever have -- were and are generated through difficult circumstances. You don't want to be a shallow, pretty face lacking in depth and maturity do you? Oh, I see. Shallow wealth, shallow sex, shallow fun ... oh stop it. You're preparing for great things next year. Forget shallow: think deep.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
In All Signs above, I refer to an accelerating, disruptive quality that hits different areas of our lives. For your sign, this takes place in your domestic sphere. That means that family, home, real estate and your private life are subject to disruption, change and unpredictability. Domestic conflict is likely. Domestic changes are inevitable. Domestic help is hard to come by. You have no choice other than to go with the flow. Be patient with family members. Renovations, visiting guests and changes that trigger chaos at home test your mettle. You might be getting along on less now as well. This stress disappears by the beginning of next year. (That's only a couple of months away.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Frogs and toads have been popping from your mouth at the most unexpected times. (Many of you have red faces.) During the last half of this year, you've been determined to prove your point and defend your beliefs. In doing so, you might have gone too far and said too much. You hate it when you do this; and fortunately, you don't do this very often. (If at first you don't succeed, don't advertise it.) Conversations with relatives and siblings are particularly testy. It's important to be patient with these accidents of birth. Relatives come in handy when the chips are down. (But you know this because you always do things with the long haul in mind.) Therefore, kiss and make up. Well, you don't have to kiss -- just return the car.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The areas for your sign that are the most unsettled and unpredictable are money and your job. (You're shocked I'm sure.) You're making surprise over-the-top purchases and yet at the same time, you feel constricted, restricted, and challenged by the demands of work. Pipedreams of self-employment run through your mind, but you keep your nose to grindstone and your fingers on the keyboard. These financial worries will definitely begin to diminish in the next few months. But the hard work will stay. (I wouldn't kid you.) Curb your spontaneous spending. When the dust settles around your birthday, you're going to want a few shekels for yourself.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This entire column has been devoted to all the insanity that's been taking place in your sign for months now. Not that you are at fault. Au contraire. You are the unwitting victim. But not for long because it's almost over. That's why you occasionally feel petulant, impatient and exasperated with others. You also feel hopelessly misunderstood by partners and close friends. Fortunately, lucky Jupiter blesses these very individuals so others accord you extra patience now. (As well they should.) Increased physical exercise (yes, this includes sex) will help dissipate the energy that's building up within you. Give it some place to go! Fortunately, you're already starting to feel better because Mars is finally on the move. (Whew!)
