All Signs
This week the Sun squares or opposes Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Mars. (gulp.) This is like shopping in holiday rush hour. It's bruising. But in many ways it means the alarm is sounded. It's time to wake up from the dream. It's a culmination; it's a breakthrough; it's a release. (No, it's Superman!) This generally means two things: resolution is at hand; but also clarity is now possible. Since defining the problem is half the problem this is a time of opportunity. Do you want to coddle your illusion or have it ripped away from your eyes? If your illusion is removed -- you're disillusioned. Right? Nothing wrong with that.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You feel things directly and you act on them. This is your style because you're the warrior of the zodiac. (Mars, Lord of war is your ruler.) At this point in time, Mars opposes the Sun and makes a 90 degree angle to Neptune. This means if you're doing laundry -- never mix colour'ds and whites. You could call this a culmination of sorts. Some kind of resentment about money and shared possessions comes out, perhaps to the point of confrontation. Relations with a friend (or group) muddy the waters. You might feel guilty about defending your wealth and your rights. You're a generous sign. Where is the line drawn between generosity and self-interest? When is enough enough? (Serious things to ponder.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Opposition with partners comes to a head now. You're beginning to see what you like and what you don't like -- what works and what doesn't work. You can't change others because they're different from you. You can only observe the differences and try to understand them. You might feel guilty for trying to press your agenda about something. Don't bother. Whatever you did, you did because you believed it was the way to do things. If you see a better way now -- great. That's growth. You can't fault yourself for not knowing what you didn't know before. You have more wisdom now about relationships and your home and family. This is good. (You can't knock good.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're starting to get a clearer picture about what your job should be; and even, what your job can be. (Once you know that something is within the realm of possibility, now you can shoot for it. Eh wot?) Don't get hung up on whether or not you can live up to your principles and ideals. One's reach should exceed one's grasp. Matters connected with foreign countries, travel and publishing are fuzzy. This uncertainty clouds other issues at work, certainly your expectations. Just work with what you've got. New dimensions of yourself are being revealed in surprising conversations. People are starting to see just how smart you are! Kant didn't say, "I don't know - therefore, maybe I'm not" did he?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
For a long time now, you've been wrestling with confusion about shared possessions, and working and living with the values of others. It's hard to iron out details here. You can't ignore your responsibilities for others, especially children. (And you're not trying to.) Conflict with groups and friends is clearly out in the open now. Perhaps the truest test of any conflict is how the victor treats the vanquished. No? That's where somebody's true colours will come out. ("Oh no! Puce!") Don't be hard on yourself or judgmental of others for not being able to be perfect. Nobody is. In fact, I don't think it's even in style anymore.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your ambitions about your job, your career and what you want to achieve at home have been hijacked by your obsessive confusion about relationships. Either you feel inadequate and full of fault, or you see somebody else in that position. You have to admit that either way, it's a learning curve! They say the ultimate knowledge is to "know thyself." But it's humbling to see your own shortcomings. (I love my longcomings.) Nevertheless, these are valuable observations. You're at the beginning of a new journey (about 30 years); and one of the first things you're going to do is to reinvent yourself. Therefore, you've gotta know what kind of raw material you have to start with - right?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Relations with people who are far away or in another country are a big focus now. Even racial issues are in the picture. Publishing, the media and higher education might also be on your agenda. On-the-job expectations seem to cloud some of these issues. You can't keep everybody happy. You can't pull it all together. Don't feel guilty about anything at work. Wherever you have goofed up or made mistakes was simply in areas where you didn't know any better. You can't fault yourself for what you didn't know. (Be reasonable!) Therefore, you have to lighten up about the judgments you're making about yourself. Be softer and kinder to you. You're doing the best you can.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Confusion and conflict about shared property comes out in the open now. Basically, what's at stake is a different set of values. We always assume that others have the same values we do. But not so Monsieur le Pussycat! We all spend money differently; we want different things; we fear different things. (Although it's true: everyone wants to be happy and nobody wants to be sad.) Romantic liaisons and relations with children perhaps make you feel guilty now. You see your shortcomings, and this makes you flinch. But isn't it better to see them? Once you've identified the confusion, you can change it or erase it. Or perhaps bottle it and give it to someone for Christmas.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Some kind of conflict or confusion or competition with a partner (or someone close to you) is finally clarified and identified. Now that you have named the beast you can tame it! After all, the first step in eradicating any fault is to identify what the fault is in the first place. In many ways, that's almost the biggest step. (It might be the hardest.) Don't let disappointments at home or in your family hold you back. You can't be all things to all people all the time. Not even you. You give things your best shot and that's all you can do. Right? Be light of foot during arguments with children over money and possessions. Ditto with lovers. Caution against rash spending.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You've been working hard to achieve whatever you want, especially in your job, yet somehow -- somewhere in the back of your mind - you're haunted by doubt. Relations with siblings and neighbours are confusing, and possibly even guilt inducing. Oy! You are one sign who always wants to be the best you can be. You have high expectations for yourself. And high ideals. But is this just a setup for disappointment? Not really; but it's a dangerous possibility. Be soft and gentle with yourself. Appreciate where you excel, and be patient with where you struggle. (You would do it for others. Why not do it for yourself?) Time spent in solitude or quiet contemplation will benefit you now. Definitely.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Issues related to vacations, romance, working with children, professional sports and the entertainment world seem to come to a culmination now. It's put up or shut up time. (You gotta know when to hold and when to fold.) You like to compartmentalize things. You don't like to mix the people you work with and your personal coterie of friends and your family members. Sometimes they overlap; but not much. Right now there's confusion about money and possessions with a friend or a group. This will be resolved. But it had to come to this. It's OK to be sympathetic; but you still have to protect your own best interests.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Conflict with parents, VIPs, bosses and authority figures comes to a head now. All this confusion and chaos at home has to be sorted out. Whatever happens -- don't feel guilty! All you can do is give something your best shot. There's a fine line between being a martyr and being a doormat; and it's always hard to know where that line is -- isn't it? Surprising news (or possibly disagreements) with friends about money and shared possessions is likely. Make sure you keep to the high road. When all is said and done you want to have self-respect. That's essential. Friendship is important to you, and you're the best friend you have. (And you gotta respect your friends.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
A lot of insanity related to travel, foreign countries, medicine, the law, publishing, the media and higher education is now finally culminating very specifically. What was mushy and confusing before is now clarified, signed sealed and delivered. Conversations with bosses and parents might be touchy, in large measure because you feel rebellious and independent about something. Nevertheless, try to be patient. Be patient with others; be patient with yourself. If you're not patient, you'll be unhappy. And who wants to be unhappy? Not you. Things will go forward much more smoothly now. Relax and enjoy the ride.
