All Signs
About every 36 years, Saturn opposes Neptune (most recently 1936-37 & 1971-72) and now. (Hey - these guys have so little in common, they don't even like to be in the same address book!) Saturn rules definitions, limitations, and obstacles. The real world. Neptune is Utopia, the ideal, everything that's fuzzy and wonderful but illusory. Neptune is the Muse: Saturn is Jack Web: "Just the facts, Ma'am." (Do take care of your health. This transit promotes flu outbreaks.) Furthermore, when these planets get together, we tend to beat ourselves up about our shortcomings. We feel like failures. ("Take two, they're small.") This reminds me of an old lover (he was younger then) who whenever I moaned, "I feel like a failure!" would always reply, "Will I do?"
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Situations with friends (or a group) might be confusing or worse - disappointing. There are definitely some difficulties at play here. Perhaps you feel misunderstood, misjudged or badly treated. What is more likely the case is that there is a serious miscommunication. Have you clearly expressed what you want? Do you expect or assume the other party should at least be hip to what's going on? (This could also be happening the other way around.) Why not be very frank? Express your concerns to friends to at least clear the air. You're very honest and direct. No one who knows you would expect less from you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
There's no question that many of you are dealing with disappointments and confusion with respect to your life direction in general, your career, your good name in the community and even your home and family situation. Yikes! The whole ball of wax! And yet your ambition is really aroused right at this time You're not sitting around resting on your laurels. (No matter how comfortable they are.) It's not easy feeling when things are uncertain, and even disappointing. But you probably cannot really do anything about this right now. Patience is the only answer. Voltaire said, "Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd."
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your day-to-day activities, plus everything to do with travel, dealing with foreign countries, publishing, the media, medicine and the law are definitely subject to a lot of confusion right now. You're even questioning some long held beliefs. Why not discuss some of these things with a partner or close friend? In fact, this is a good week to explore your insecurities, doubts or fears with the help of someone close to you. I say this for two reasons: one is that for the entire year, Jupiter favours all your close relationships. Therefore, you might as will use this advantage. And secondly, this week, retrograde Mercury promotes penetrating insightful discussions with others. (Like wow.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Even though you're bound to improve your job or your job scene in some way this year, for some time now, you've been confused about financial matters, taxes, debt, inheritances and shared possessions. You're no fool in these areas. You're a frugal, sensible sign. You'll help others, but you don't throw your money around. That's why it bothers you when you cannot get things clearly defined and understood by everyone. In part, you might be dealing with someone who doesn't share your same values. It's an apples and oranges thing. Only this time, there's not going to be a nice fruit salad as a result. Just be patient. (Would you like mint leaves on that?)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Life can be a cruel hoax. This is the year when romance and love affairs are so beautifully favoured for Leos. (Tra la tra la! It is to laugh!) However, this is also the year when committed partnerships and close friendships hold the potential for hurting you or disappointing you very deeply. ("Aaggh -- take the harpoon out slowly.") Furthermore, Mars is now opposite your sign promoting conflicts and confrontational discussions. "No, I don't." "Yes, you do." "What? I would never do that!" "Well, you did, and you did it last week too." You want adoration - not criticism. Oy vey. Just remember: the path of true anything doesn't run smoothly. Factoid.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
For months now, you've been plagued off and on by feelings of self-doubt and quiet anxiety. You're very keen to work now. You want to get started on a project. No question about this - you're gung ho! But circumstances seemed to constantly foil you leaving you dead in the shed, Fred. Each time this happens, you begin to doubt yourself and your plans and ideas. Things should work in a linear fashion, no? But you keep ending back at square one. What gives? In the bigger picture, you're dismantling much of what you created since around 1994. When you have to give up things and let parts of your old life go - it's never really a straight-line. Sometimes it's an ovoid!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You want to play. You want romance in your soul (and the bedroom.) You want to express your creativity. You want to be appreciated. But somehow, all this seems to elude you right now. Activities and hopes related to vacations, children, creative projects and the arts, your friends, your social life, and yes -- true love - are just not coming together the way you want them to. It's important to be realistic in your expectations. And it's also important to express these expectations. After all, unexpressed expectations are a sure guarantee for disappointment. (Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.) Don't pussy foot around. Tell others what you really want. Just say it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Like Taurus, you're undergoing confusion and disappointment in everything from your career direction to your home and family scene. This makes you impatient because you tend to like things to be black-and-white. (You're not into fuzzy.) But life is not always black-and-white, especially when people are operating under the influence of human nature. Just be patient. Take things one day at a time. Do the best with what you've got. You're enormously resilient; and you're a wonderful problem solver. Accept the fact that sometimes a problem has to simmer on the back burner for awhile. (When the smoke alarm goes off dinner's ready.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Everything from your daily conversations with relatives (especially siblings) to your dealings with foreign countries, education, publishing and the media are subject to setbacks, confusion and misunderstandings. Naturally, all these things lead to disappointment. (I hate that part.) Ironically, no matter what happens, you are the one who is in charge of your own state of mind. Your response to anything is up to you. Herein you have the powah! Therefore, no matter what your doubts and disappointment are -- climb back up on that horse again. You need to believe in a positive future. That's what Sagittarius is all about! (Truly.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Murky money deals are not your cup of tea. You like to have everything spelled out. You read everything in a contract because you know that what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. (Oh yeah.) At this time, some of you feel cheated by someone else -- or deceived. You expected more and you expected better treatment and you know you deserve respect. But this didn't happen. Don't dwell on this. Negative thoughts promote negative actions which in turn, promote unhappiness. Next year lucky Jupiter is in your sign. Quite a different matter! Ah yes. He who laughs - lasts. (And you are a long lived sign.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Neptune is in your sign and Saturn directly opposes it now. You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. However, the bottom line is: you can run but you can't hide. Life is like a tin of sardines - we're all of us, looking for the key. Even though close friends and partners are a disappointment to you now, what are you going to do? (People! You can't live with them and you can't kill them.) With Mars in your sign now, you feel pretty aggressive. Take it easy. Why not honestly tell someone else how you feel? Lay your cards on the table. If you're honest and straightforward - what else could anybody expect from you? After all, three out of four people are 75% of the world population.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Like Virgo, you feel a lot of self-doubt and anxiety lately. You're not even sure if you can put it into a correctly parsed sentence. But you know the feeling in your gut; and you know that your body never lies to you. (The scales, yes - but not your body.) Do not give into self-defeating thoughts. For one thing, we all have them. Remind yourself that you are going to make great headway in your career or creating a better name for yourself in your community or your circle of friends this year. Because this will happen! (Sure as Sarah Jessica Parker is going to buy a new pair of shoes tomorrow.) Get more exercise this coming month. It's the perfect time for this.
