The Sun, traveling through Aquarius this month, finds us longing to break free from chains that bind us…until it enters Pisces on 2/18 and we relinquish our boundaries in search of ourselves. There is much to embrace in this changing world and Aquarius energy guides us as we grow our capacity to embrace the new and function with confidence in the midst of the unknown. It is this space that we can create a better world. The full moon on 2/9 in Leo shines light on our unique gifts, and the new moon on 2/24 in Pisces invites new compassion within us all.

Venus enters Aries on the 2/2, reminding us to value on our personal identity. Mars enters Aquarius on 2/4, urging us to move in directions of greater freedom. Saturn in Virgo opposes Uranus in Pisces on 2/5 as we seek balance between our need for personal containment and spiritual freedom. Mercury enters Aquarius on 2/14, provoking us to speak words that free us. Mars conjuncts Jupiter in Aquarius on 2/17, revealing new doors to greater freedom. Mercury conjuncts Jupiter on 2/23 as we throw caution to the wind and speak our higher truths fearlessly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…Happy Birthday, Aquarius! This is the perfect time for you to look out into the world and consider what it is that you wish to create from deep within. There us something to say about focusing on our dreams and visions. Especially when the time is right. You can make things real by seeing what it is you desire as you look out into the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…It is OK to let others be strong, Pisces. You can relinquish control and move more fully into your fluid state. It is in that space of surrender that you feel most at home. Your strength is found in letting go and trusting in the ability of life itself to guide the natural unfoldment of things.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…We are all asked to sit in the seat of judgment from time to time, Aries. You are called to be truthful and to bring about a higher balance born of inner wisdom. You have the power to shift things through the simple act of owning what it is that you know deep inside yourself. Those around you need you in your strength now.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…

Although others can mirror our soul’s beauty to us, we must also be able to carry that vision of ourselves out into the world on our own. You can take the love you receive and use it to strengthen your own sense of self and integrate the gifts those who see your beauty give to you. There is nothing quite as healing as seeing our beauty reflected back to us by others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…As you connect to your personal divinity, you find the peace you long for, Gemini. You draw your energy back toward yourself and from there, you can find the way to listen to your own soul. There are as many worlds as there are people living here on the earth. You choose to tend to your private life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…You are meticulous in separating out those energies that are incompatible with your own, Cancer. This work leaves you able to revel in your own spiritual energy. There is nothing quite as wondrous as knowing the sacredness of our own paths, and all paths are sacred. You see things with new eyes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…It is OK to turn down excess, Leo. There is much to appreciate and enjoy in life, yet we do not have to take advantage of everything that comes to us. You can trust that as things flow past you, there is a balance that is created. You will have what you need when the time comes and you can let things go that do not serve you now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…You are able to move forward to greater levels of sustenance, Virgo. You have reached a certain plateau and now you move beyond it. You have moved beyond limitations that seemed insurmountable before. You are now capable of further growth. There is greater freedom for you to experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…You sit inside of a powerful seat of creative potential now, Libra. It is important for you to direct your energy in conscious ways in order to bring about the changes you desire. There is much to consider. You benefit tremendously when you move your attention from the outer world toward your inner world of dreams. Focus here.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…You free yourself from circumstances that drown you, Scorpio. You separate out of the shared psychic pool of humanity and shake it all off. It is easy for you to feel saturated and so you do well to bring caution to your exchanges. Just because you can immerse yourself doesn’t mean you must.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…You face what disappoints you, Sag. It is here, inside of this honesty, that you find the answers you have been looking for. You are forever optimistic, yet there is also the need to be honest with yourself. It is too easy to get caught in unhealthy cycles otherwise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…You can take your competence when it comes to manifesting supportive structures and transfer it into new and innovative realms of creation, Capricorn. It is obvious that what we have collectively manifested holds much room for improvement. Those who are capable of designing structures can facilitate bringing about wonderful change. That includes you!

The Sun, traveling through Capricorn this month, brings us down to reality as we look around and take note of what we have manifested here…until it enters Aquarius on 1/19, and we forge ahead with authenticity foremost in mind.

Capricorn energy is what we use to create this world of form, and we have just now entered a long period of time (with Pluto beginning its slow journey through this sign) where we will transform the structures of this world to become places that hold seats of power for all our souls. The full moon on 1/10 in Cancer reminds us that it is through honoring our feeling selves that we become capable of manifesting a healthy world "out there" to exist in. The new moon/solar eclipse on 1/26 in Aquarius brings whisperings of our inner dreams into our awareness.

Mercury enters Aquarius on 1/1 as we find ourselves expressing our views more openly and freely. Venus enters Pisces on 1/3, softening our sense of self and bringing a gentleness to our movements. Jupiter enters Aquarius on 1/5, beginning a yearlong journey through this sign, expanding us more fully into our authentic selves. Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius on 1/11 (until 1/31), deepening our connections to, and honor of, our uniqueness. Venus conjuncts Uranus in Pisces on 1/22, reaffirming our respect for our personal spiritual values. And, Venus opposes Saturn in Virgo on 1/24 as we search for new ways to ground our power here.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…Happy Birthday, Capricorn! Now is the time for self-revelation. What have you been hiding from yourself? There is no time like the present to let the truth wash over you and surrender to the need for greater self-acceptance. Regardless of what you may have been taught, you have the right to exist here in your totality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…Part of creation involves releasing control and moving into the chaos that change necessitates. You move in new ways now, Aquarius. Life conspires to lift you into higher levels of functioning as you let go and trust the way things are unfolding. You have done the foundational work. Now you release your hold to give room for creation to happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…The keys to the answers you seek lie in your passions, Pisces. There is great energy to be tapped as you reach toward the things that inspire and ignite you. It is like night and day. There is nothing to propel you to stay immersed in the things you do not care much about. Let your passion pull you in the direction you want to travel.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…The answers you seek now are not to be found in your mind, Aries. Your job is to relax into your heart and feel your way around in search of the way to move. Logic does not apply here. Oftentimes, there is nothing but the unknown to work with. This is something we all need to become more capable of navigating.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…You are a pleasure seeker, Taurus. You go in search of what makes you feel good. This can be harmless when it is done with a sense of caring, and you bring that now to what you pursue. Go forth and find what you want. There is so much to enjoy in this life, and you deserve to be happy and fulfilled.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…Your capacity to consider the mixed motives of others has dwindled, Gemini. It is quite amazing to look into what drives others to perpetuate their agendas, but that can also be an energy drain. You see it, and you move past it. You know that you are not what you may appear to others to be. And, that is all you need to know now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…The work you have done pays off in tangible ways now, Cancer. What you have pursued has led you to a new kind and level of success. You have been willing to consider a different set of goals for inspiration, and this allows you to experience the joy of accomplishment more fully because you are more immersed in the things you care about.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…There is no holding you back, Leo. The forces larger than yourself call you into action and you are more than willing to make the moves necessary to go in the directions you need to travel through. Life is an adventure and you are up for it. Go forth and enjoy the ride. There are new things awaiting your discovery.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…You take the reigns because you don’t want to leave things up to others, Virgo. There is a delicate balance at play. You choose to show up a little less for others, and this frees you up to be less dependent on those outside of yourself to provide you with the things you need to go forward. So, there is an exchange…a shifting….and it is healthy and more balanced for you in the end.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…You turn your focus from the extraordinary to the ordinary and regain your footing, Libra. There are higher callings and these are what direct us through life at certain times. But, there is also the most basic and simple level of existence and there is great joy to be had in just being part of that. You narrow your focus and bring your attention to the beauty that surrounds you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…You find people in your life who you can shine your light with. This is what you need most of all, Scorpio. You come out of the deeper places to enjoy the lightheartedness that people who you love and who love you give you the space to exist in. All the heavy stuff fades away and you delight in the joys of life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…You bask in the knowledge that you have done what you needed to do, Sag. There is no need to carry any burdens or to overextend yourself. You release your sense of obligation to move back into the flow of life. You do not need to exert any effort beyond being in your center and contributing how and where you want.

The Sun, traveling through Sagittarius this month, calls us to expand more fully into our own lives, until it enters Capricorn on 12/21 marking the Winter Solstice. Sagittarius energy is where we exist in our philosophical seats, the place from which we share what we have learned through deeply personal explorations. The full moon on 12/12 in Gemini reminds us that it is through being open to life and to the differences in others that we come to embrace the very experiences that we learn through. The new moon on 12/27 in Capricorn finds us quietly considering steps we can take in our personal lives to begin manifesting more fully our power in the world.

Venus enters Aquarius on 12/7 as we see the value in our individuality and in holding space for the uniqueness of others. Mars in Sagittarius squares Uranus in Pisces on 12/11 as forced-fed dogmas become indigestible. Mercury enters Capricorn on 12/12 as we speak the truth of our feelings with greater authority. Mars squares Saturn in Virgo on 12/15 as we search for the boundaries we need to be able to express ourselves safely here. And Mars enters Capricorn on 12/27, moving into a conjunction with Pluto. What could be better for humanity than for us each to align our energies and actions to transform the structured world we share into a place that is genuinely empowering for all souls? As Saturn turns retrograde in Virgo on 12/31 (until May 16, 2009), we begin the process of person refinement needed to accomplish the great things we see awaiting us on our shared horizon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…We have such a greater capacity to effect things than we realize. So, what better way to start your new year, Sag, than by contemplating your power? What matters to you? What would you do in this very world if you could do whatever it is that your heart desires? These are things worthy of consideration and worthy places to bring your power to. Happy Birthday!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…You have shown your courage, Capricorn. One of the great challenges in dwelling in a shared world is holding our center. It is not always an easy task and often requires us to pull forth from our very soul strength we did not even know we possessed. You are in your center and you have drawn the boundary lines necessary to hold yourself there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…The lessons of love are deep and vast and unending. You move into these feelings more freely now, Aquarius. There is love to be felt in all places. There is love to be given everywhere. And, suddenly, you see the openings. You feel love and the world is a better place because of this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…It is not the easiest task for a Pisces to become clear and forceful in their direction, because your nature is to flow. But, you have become clear anyway and this is something to honor within yourself. Your job is to take what has been revealed to you and go forth on your own behalf and work consciously with what you now know.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…Too much movement without the right grounding is overwhelming to anyone, even to an Aries! You seek to strengthen the foundation you know you must have to support the size of your energy and strength. Placing your attention here, no matter what other forces are calling to you, is vital to your health and success overall.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…There most certainly is the larger metaphysical picture and you know this more strongly than ever before, Taurus. Now, your task is to turn back to your own very personal life and world and contemplate the meaning of that. How does your life serve your higher purpose? And, just what do you need personally in order to take care of your private needs here?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…What is the magic that we are capable of here? And who told us we are not allowed to be magically divine? You are ready, Gemini, to exist more fully. And there is just no way to do this without unleashing your own energy here on greater levels. We are only bound by the creations of others when we participate inside of such places in the limited roles they assign us there. You change the rules and in doing so, you change everything. And this is magic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…When we are willing to abandon false peace for higher truth, it is not always an easy path. Yet, it is so worth it in the end. Especially when it comes to our deepest longing for true love in this world. You have demonstrated great courage on your path, Cancer. You have been willing to risk harmony for greater love…and for the chance at real peace.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…The infusion of love into our lives is powerfully transformative. There is no holding it. There is no keeping it. There is only allowing it and expanding into greater capacities to give and to receive it. You are capable of the highest love, Leo. And you are willing to exist there and to transform your own life through harnessing the healing power of love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…Your capacity to worry is great, and it has served you, Virgo. Now, it fades into a distant place as you turn to receive what has always been yours to have. You are a divine creature and are deserving of all of the love and goodness that this world can bring to you. That is all you need to know now. The energy spent worrying in the past has changed into expanding receptivity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…You are masterful, Libra. You choose success and you find a way to envision it strongly enough to begin to make it real. There are many plates spinning and it is you who have masterfully set them in motion. You advance yourself now to the next level. There is a reason you have brought forth these elements. Now you trust what is underway enough to turn your focus toward the dream.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…Even Scorpios need a break from transformation from time to time! It is a movement. A shift in direction away from down deeper, into the lighter, most simple of experiences. Feeling the wind on your face…and the endless sacred human experiences possible here on earth…that is what you immerse yourself in now.

The Sun, traveling through Scorpio this month, invites us to embrace personal and collective transformations more fully…until it enters Sagittarius on 11/21, launching us forward with new visions in hand for the future. Scorpio energy pulls us down deep into ourselves. This is the place where we grow capable of existing profoundly in this world. With the full moon on 11/12 in Taurus, we feel gratitude for the physical pleasures of life and we turn our attention toward appreciation. The new moon on 11/27 in Sagittarius ignites in us a sense of new possibilities.

Neptune (retrograde since May 26) turns direct in Aquarius on 11/1. What we have learned during these days of spiritual introspection will begin to unfold into our lives. Saturn in Virgo opposes Uranus in Pisces on 11/4. We must use our powers of discernment to bring about structural changes that allow for the type of existence we value. Mercury enters Scorpio on 11/4, compelling us to just tell the truth. Venus in Sagittarius joins Pluto in Sag on 11/11, aligning our values with those things that are truly empowering. Venus enters Capricorn on 11/12 as we mature to realize that we do have a say in the matter. Mars enters Sag on 11/16 as new doors fly open to offer us greater opportunities. Pluto enters Capricorn on 11/26. This marks the beginning of great movements toward collective structural transformation. Uranus turns direct on 11/27 (retrograde since June 26) in Pisces as we find the road ahead clear and opened up for us to travel down.

Famous Scorpios: Pablo Picasso, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…Happy birthday, Scorpio! As we collectively enter more deeply into large-scale transformation, you are inclined to draw inward and hold up clearly defined boundaries. Self-containment is key to your personal health and balance. You dwell deeply and protecting yourself in that state of being shows others how to become capable of doing the same.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…The sweetness of loving experiences is what you long for and seek out now, Sag. You don’t ask for much, just to revel in the beauty of transcendence that accompanies kindness and genuine acceptance within reciprocal exchanges with those who you trust and care for on deep and real levels. Find those people and be with them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…The mundane level of life calls to you for attention now, Capricorn. What matters to you? You see that there is a higher reality, and now you turn with that wisdom toward your own personal world to enhance and bring about balance and strength in the ordinary.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…Destructive thoughtforms are not to be underestimated, Aquarius. You observe the impact that others can have on you. It is important to recognize the effects of taking in the views and energies of those who carry energies that are incompatible with what you hold sacred. You have the right to distance yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…Newfound balance in the material world is always a wonderful thing to discover yourself in the midst of Pisces. You have found ways to be both honoring of the sacred and nurturing to the physical side of self. There is sustenance here and you deserve to be nourished. Work with what you have grounded here to let yourself soar.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…Alchemy sits at the heart of the matter, Aries. You have access to your own resourcefulness and you allow yourself to come into a place of great focus. Your dreams are worthy and they guide you forward. Follow your dreams wherever they may lead you.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…There are things to be done and things to be undone, Taurus. You follow the course ahead with courage and flexibility. There is calm about you in the midst of great change. The peace you feel is in surrendering. When you let yourself trust what is unfolding, you are able to focus in the here and now and find great pleasure there.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…Striving for a certain type of success can seem suddenly meaningless and not at all worth the effort, Gemini. It is nice to remember that we all have free will, and with that, we are afforded the opportunity to change our minds. You know the power of choice, and you give yourself the permission you would naturally give to others to do what feels right.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…You reassess what you consider success to be and what failure means to you, Cancer. It is up to you to define the parameters of your own value system and to wrap yourself around what matters to you. This is a time of awakening for all of us. As we arrive into places with new possibilities, it is our personal sense of values that will guide us.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…Harmonic change is a wonderful thing, Leo. You are able to embrace what is unfolding because you are open to change and have a trust in the larger scheme of things. There is an ease about you as you allow life to take you where you need to go. The journey fuels you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…Clearing the mental plane brings with it great new levels of liberation to you, Virgo. Your mind is a powerful thing, rich and complex. You embrace the chance to start with a clear slate and, in doing so, you open the way to set forth upon new and brilliant paths and to undertake new projects.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…Moving away from saturation and into a more zen way of life is what draws you now, Libra. Too much of even a good thing can become uncomfortable. You slow things down and become more discerning about what to let in and what you choose to participate in. It is wonderful to have choices; now you learn to balance yourself and your life in ways that work in the midst of abundance.

The Sun, traveling through Libra this month, reminds us to ground more fully in our center…until it enters Scorpio on the 10/22, deepening our capacity to see the truth. Libra energy is about far more that seeking harmony. It is about rebalancing the world through owning and honoring ourselves in the here and now. With the full moon in Aries on 10/14, we discover new courage, and the new moon on 10/28 in Scorpio pushes us to be more genuine in our intimate exchanges.

Mars enters Scorpio on 10/3, inspiring actions based on deep seated motives. Mercury (retrograde since September 24) turns direct in Libra on 10/15 as we are less likely to be swayed by others and more likely now to be driven forward by the things that matter most to us. Venus enters Sagittarius on 10/18 as we listen intently and respectfully to the philosophies of others. Chiron turns direct in Aquarius on 10/25 (retrograde since May 25) as we take what we have learned from the difficulties we have traversed, and use what we have now become to create something better.

Famous Libras: Mahatma Gandhi, Jesse Jackson, Naomi Watts

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…Happy Birthday, Libra! You abandon convention and set yourself free. There is a lot to be said for throwing caution to the wind and letting ourselves be childlike. It is here that we can enter more fully into the passionate experience of embracing and following our creative voice. Indulge yourself!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…Your way of perceiving life can lead to a sense of aloneness, but now you find your beauty reflected back to you by others, Scorpio. As we become more aware collectively of our need to grow our capacity to dwell in more honesty and consciousness, you find yourself feeling more at home here.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…You pull your focus inward now, Sag. To make real what you desire, you need to disengage from the outer world and move into a seat of contemplation. You tune out and tune in. You are able to stay steady in your center and this gives more choices along the lines that you want to strengthen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…There is a priceless quality to the gift of genuine validation. When we are fortunate enough to spend time with people who are capable of seeing us and receiving us in ways that bring us real sustenance, we are renewed. So many people feel so unseen and unloved. When we are accepted for who we really are, there is great healing to behold.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…The opportunities to embrace and immerse yourself in things that ignite a feeling of passion, are the what you pursue now, Aquarius. We may not feel completely confident exploring new arenas, but as we move in new ways, we find new footing. There is great support for you in the places we long to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…Boundaries are not the easiest thing for a Pisces to negotiate. You learn new techniques and strategies for deflecting interfering energies. Rather than hiding to avoid being overwhelmed, you are able to acknowledge things more directly, and this empowers you to establish more solid and healthy psychic and emotional boundaries.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…To show up for others, we need to take care of ourselves. You turn your attention toward your own private life and work there to create greater balance. As you tune into your own private life first, you are able to move through the outer world with clearer purpose.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…The work you have done to restore peace and to find resolutions allows you to turn your attention toward the future, Taurus. Sometimes, we end up using our energy on the subtle work of negotiating relationships and the world around us and have little left for anything else. You feel a new sense of freedom and optimism.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…You use that brilliant mind of yours to step into a place of greater authority now, Gemini. Oftentimes we live underneath the confines what we have been taught by others in positions of authority. You say, "No more" to that. You decide what is allowed and what is possible and move more fully in those directions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…It is human nature to share and give freely when we are feeling supported and sustained. You teach others as you live in ways that inspire them. What can you share? You encourage others to pursue what they really want to pursue and you lead them as you move more deeply into your own self-fulfillment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…You can see how you have progressed, Leo. It is nice to look around and see that what you have committed your energy to has led to the changes and accomplishments that you had hoped for. As you acknowledge where you have succeeded, you begin to imagine a whole new set of possibilities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…You are empowered, Virgo. It is a good place to be. We are each capable of participating fully in rebalancing the world, and it is through existing in our health and power that we do this. What do you want to create? That is the question at hand. You are able to bring your dreams forward into manifest reality. The time is now.

The Sun, traveling through Virgo this month, rekindles our awareness of the value of self-containment as we coexist in the world…until it enters Libra on 9/22, marking the Fall Equinox and the search for greater balance. Virgo energy teaches us that as we exist more fully in our individuated state, we become capable of genuine union with others. The full moon on 9/15 in Pisces pulls us to merge and to revel inside our shared divinity. The new moon on 9/29 in Libra invites us to revisit the power of the mirror.

Saturn in Virgo conjuncts the Sun on 9/3 as we grow stronger in our personal illumination. Jupiter turns direct in Capricorn on 9/8 and Pluto turns direct in Sagittarius on 9/9 as opportunities for grounding our visions become more visible. Venus enters Scorpio on 9/23 as we see the beauty in the depth of our human nature. Mercury turns retrograde in Libra on 9/24 (until October 15) as we realize that we can affect much through inner contemplation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…Happy Birthday, Virgo! You revel in the awareness of "self" that comes with allowing the time and space to experience your own soul apart from the pool of humanity. As we each exist fully, the world grows lighter and more filled with potential. Show us what you are capable of.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…As you move away from the intellectual debate over what is and is not virtuous, you deepen your alignment with that which moves you emotionally, Libra. You feel your way to right action and, as you do, your inner guidance grows stronger and you dwell where you want to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…Analysis is tossed out the window as you arrive more fully into the here and now, Scorpio. You move from the sidelines toward the center of life. The world is transformed into a healthier place as we exist with our views and voices in the midst of things. Share yourself and change what surrounds you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…You turn your focus to what has been set in motion and take it from there, Sag. There is no need to start up anything new now. Just take a breath and relax into the flow of life. As you work with what is unfolding, and show up there with willingness and acceptance, you achieve a new balance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…As you take a step back and detach from the sensationalism of the day, you discover again that calm is within your reach. Too many revelations can leave us feeling incapacitated. You work with your own energy and tune out the rest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…The capacity to see the depth of the beauty in the mundane is what you embody, Aquarius. You turn your attention to the most precious nature of ordinary things. This is where you find joy and teach others to do the same.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…You find serenity in the moment, Pisces. Rather than look to the horizon to feel compelled into action, you take a deep breath and settle into the personal private life you inhabit for inspiration. We are so urged to strive for something more…yet you feel the choice now to not engage in such things.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…You dial your mind to "rest" mode, Aries. Harmony is what you aspire to. You feel the choice to move in that direction as you tune your energy and connect with others day to day. There is room to effect things and you are aware of the power you have to choose what to participate in.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…

Stability brings you comfort now, Taurus. Great change offers renewed openings. You are able to benefit from the changes you have grown through. There are more empowering options to consider now. It is not always easy to allow for change, but oftentimes it is critical to health and wholeness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…You take a deep breath and look out over the horizon now, Gemini. Where are you going? Where do you want to be? You allow yourself to contemplate your desires. You have the ability to imprint your dreams upon your destiny. Listening to and nurturing what you long to manifest is the key.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…Rather than reaching out for more, you honor what has formed already, Cancer. There is nowhere to go but deeper into the present. You are growing your capacity to embrace your life just as it is, more and more. As you exist more completely in the here and now, the world opens up to you as never before.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…You straddle worlds, Leo. You are adept in your movement. There is a grace about you as you allow others to be and to create what they will. You understand that you can do the same and that many realities can coexist. You move your attention in the direction you wish to travel and experience new freedom.

The Sun, traveling through Aquarius this month, invites us all to be more authentic and daring …until it enters Pisces on 2/19 and we merge with the divine. What visions do you carry deep within your soul? There is no time like the present to look toward avenues that lead to greater expression.

The new moon/solar eclipse on 2/7 in Aquarius calls for the breaking free of pent-up feelings. Creating synthetic emotions and walking around pretending to feel inauthentic feelings is a frightening thing to do. The lunar eclipse/full moon in Virgo on 2/20 guides us in strengthening our emotional self-containment.

Venus conjuncts Jupiter in Capricorn on 2/1 as we consider what is valuable in the structures we inhabit. Venus then enters Aquarius on 2/17 as we pay homage to the visionaries among us. The sun conjuncts Chiron in Aquarius on 2/5, and Neptune on 2/10, illuminating the beauty in all we have overcome. Mercury turns direct in Aquarius on 2/18…let’s lend our voices to the things we really care about.

Famous Aquarians: Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, Bob Marley

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…Happy Birthday, Aquarius! There is nothing like firm ground beneath us to better facilitate our attempts at freedom. You are more sure-footed as you reach for the stars as there is more to sustain and support you now. Too much freedom can be debilitating and structural support can be a good thing for you to make use of now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…You pull in your power from the ethers in order to direct your energy here, Pisces. It is in the endless dance between the sacred and the worldly where we bring the divine into our manifestations. You bring your thoughts into focus now so that you can anchor your visions into your future.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…You throw caution to the wind, Aries, and just let the energy fly. Hey, why not? That is something you teach us all. There is much to enjoy and too much limiting can be unbearably confining for you. You go forward to greater freedom and return to your element of self-directed motion.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…You have grown in strength, Taurus. You are more aware of psychic invasion and are able to protect yourself from thoughtforms that are undermining and not in alignment with your own. These are strange times where many people are perpetuating their histories of devastation by attempting to inflict the same onto others. You can trust your perceptions and your ability to discern what energy is yours and what is not.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…Your open-hearted nature leaves you so capable of existing expanded with others, and you do this now, Gemini. There are meeting places of great transcendence and you easily move into them with others. The gift of coexisting with those capable of mirroring our beauty is a profound one, and you give this to others naturally…and, in turn, receive the same.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…Love gained and love lost…this the theme you ponder now, Cancer. Life is a changing thing and you move toward new places and watch others grow distant. You feel life fully as the flow of things unfolding beyond your grip leads you into deeper places of surrender and compassion for yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…Even abundance-loving Leos can benefit from a little restriction every once in a while. The reigns are pulled back a bit now and you find a new equilibrium. Your life-force is magnifying and sometimes you find yourself moving far and fast in an undesirable direction. Therefore, a step back can serve you well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…In order to have what you need to exist as you desire, some of what is working now must change. You can maneuver your way forward with an adeptness only you could bring to the circumstances at hand. It is as though you are walking across spinning worlds and, as one world moves into the past, you are catapulted into a more holistic and magnificent place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…Sometimes the simple act of graciousness is a profound contribution to bring to the table. You are the one, Libra. You carry grace in your soul and, where others cannot, you bring balance. Do not underestimate the meaningfulness of your presence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…You long for the less profound now, Scorpio. Too much revelation can be fruitless. You feel this as you step back and return to the most simple things in search of balance. This is where you place your focus. It is in the mundane that you birth a greater sense of yourself into this world.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…Your passion can lead you into opposition, Sag, but now the pathways are clear. You build strength when your energy is blocked, and now that openings abound, you go forth mightier than before. The time is perfect for making progress in new directions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…You erupt into creative passion, Capricorn. Who says Capricorns are all work and no pleasure? You know the value of getting the job done, so that you can revel in the freedom of uninhibited creation. Go forth now and let your passion soar to new heights. Get behind yourself and infuse your desires with that strength you hold.

The Sun, traveling through Capricorn this month, emboldens us to own our personal authority and enter more fully into life with a renewed sense of purpose born of inner wisdom…until it enters Aquarius on 1/20 and we birth and nurture new visions. The new moon on 1/8 in Capricorn finds us feeling more confident to take on new responsibilities. The full moon on 1/22 in Leo brings out our childlike innocence and creativity. The beauty of higher structures is that they can support us in expressing our authenticity.

Mars in Gemini opposes Pluto in Sag on 1/2 and we consider what is worth exploring and turns direct on 1/30 (having traveled retrograde since November 15). Mercury enters Aquarius on 1/7 as we throw caution to the wind and say what’s on our mind. Mercury then turns retrograde on 1/28 (until February 18). Jupiter in Capricorn trines Saturn in Virgo on 1/21, infusing our sense of discernment as we trust ourselves to exist inside of structures without losing ourselves. Venus conjuncts Pluto on 1/23 in Sag and then enters Capricorn on 1/24. We honor what we have come to know and now move forward with confidence.

We are in the brink of a great shift as Pluto leaves Sagittarius, where it has been since 1995, and moves into Capricorn (on 1/25) where it will be (with the exception of a short dip back into Sag) until 2024. The last time Pluto traveled through this sign was from 1762 through 1778 during which time the American Revolution occurred. There will no doubt be great changes in the years ahead as structures are transformed into much healthier and empowering places for us all to inhabit and use for both self-improvement and true collective evolution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…Happy Birthday, Capricorn! One of the greatest gifts of creating healthy boundaries is that it allows us to merge with others in wondrous ways. You start off your new year with a greater sense of ease and balance when it comes to coexisting on more intimate levels with others. Pursue what draws you and trust your ability to be closer without losing yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…There is a great sense of fulfillment for you when you share your compassion with those who are in need of love and acceptance. You exude a palpable kindness which grows stronger as you show up emotionally for your fellow man. You feel the wealth of understanding that life’s winding road has brought to you as you nourish others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…It is essential for you to make the connection between your spiritual dwelling and life here for you on earth. Connecting the two is where your power lies now, Pisces. It is through embodying our higher nature that we come to make this world more holy. You are called upon to make what you know is possible real here in this time and place.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…You are drawn to things that are outside your normal pursuits now, Aries. What do you value? These are the places that call you and draw you near. There is more to life than material things and sensual indulgence. Expand your horizons and look into things you may have passed by before.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…You are shaken loose in order to be free to ground new and more profound things in the future, Taurus. This is a world of change and as the old becomes outmoded, we need your great skills to facilitate the manifestation and grounding of the new. Any security that you lose in the moment will be greatly rewarded with much more stability later.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…You have done your part, and now you must relinquish control and let things come to fruition in their own time, Gemini. Let your curiosity draw you in new directions and go there. That space of surrender and release leaves you in the highest seat of receptivity. Your efforts will not go unrewarded.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…The most nourishing thing you can do now, Cancer, is turn your attention away from the rest of the world and tend to yourself with kindness. You just turn the volume down and tune out, and as you do, you find yourself there in the silence feeling gratitude. Just as psychics have to give themselves permission to tune out what they do not want to be listening to, you need to do the same with the emotional world and needs of others now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…The best part of surviving hardships is the heightened appreciation we have for the good times when all feels right in our world. You are able to find delightful satisfaction in the sweetest places and you experience the details of the simplest successes. There is joy to be found and you see it plainly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…That great Virgo power of analysis makes stressful times as intense as possible…but now you bask in the organic flow of release as you trust life. It is your nature to work to solve things when they are not seeming to go right, but now you are more tuned into the power of life to unfold as it will and turn out well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…You long for the calm that the familiar brings. Go there now, Libra. Take refuge in what you know and what feels safe to you. There are times for expanding our horizons and times for regenerating in the sanctity that what we already understand gives to us. Give yourself all the time in the world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…It’s okay to be simple, Scorpio. Your nature is to carry the deeper consciousness, which is familiar and what you are normally busy doing. Now, you take a lighter path and let others work on the heavy stuff for a while. There is so much pleasure to be had, and when you are naturally deep, even the simplest of life’s pleasures are vastly wondrous.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…You are ignited, Sag. What on earth do you want to do? Whatever you set your sights on will be greatly enhanced by your infusion of energy and consciousness. Get behind yourself and enjoy your creative force. Others may not be able to handle it, but don’t let that move you off your center. You need that level of energy to feel alive.

The Sun, traveling through Scorpio this month, seduces us into deeper places as we sense the meaninglessness of superficiality…until it enters Sagittarius on 11/22 and we come forward to share our philosophical views in new ways. Scorpio energy will express itself one way or another and we can create a healthier world by owning the truth of our perceptions and feelings more consciously.

Shutting ourselves down is dangerous. All we have to do is look around us at the world we have created to know this is true. When we disown the deeper parts of ourselves, we are asking for trouble. It takes a lot of effort from a lot of people to keep truth at bay. We may have been taught to fear the truth, but we can handle it. In fact, the truth is a lot easier to handle than we may think. And it is through the Scorpio energy in each of us that we summon the courage to move through the deeper side of life and come to appreciate and enjoy it more fully. It is depth that offers the greatest pleasures.

The new moon on 11/9 in Scorpio emboldens us to move forward into our soul power. Even a small step in a deeper direction will prove fruitful. The full moon on 11/24 in Gemini illuminates our curiosity to visit new places and explore ourselves through experiencing life.

Mercury, traveling retrograde since 11/12, turns direct again in Libra on 11/1 and then moves into Scorpio on 11/11. Mercury represents how we think and process information. Things should feel more clear and balanced now. Venus enters Libra on 11/8 as we explore the value of positive mirroring. We can be so transformative when we bear witness to the beauty of others. Mars in Cancer turns retrograde on 11/15 and will remain so until January 30. Mars represents our individual male energy and our capacity to take action on our own behalf. This is a good time to contemplate rather than force action. Jupiter continues its journey through its home sign of Sagittarius. Saturn is in Virgo. Uranus, traveling retrograde since June 23, turns direct in Pisces on 11/23. We are all more spiritually free and can now move into life carrying this depth with us. Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius and Pluto in Sag remind us to bring the totality of ourselves forward in consciousness into our shared destiny.

Famous Scorpios: Hillary Clinton, Pablo Picasso, Jody Foster

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…Happy Birthday, Scorpio! The world needs your transformative gifts and as you step out and create with intention, you effect things in ways that are beneficial to everyone. The time is now to bring about a more holistic world that holds a space and a reverence for the deeper side of reality…which is your kind of place to dwell.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…There is no way to exist in philosophical depth without experiencing things on profound levels. There is no more noble path now than the one of feelings and emotional health born of integration. If you feel inclined to detach and see life from the philosopher’s seat when you really need to just be down with the masses feeling your emotions, realize that having compassion for yourself will ultimately lead you back to a seat that holds a more powerful viewpoint.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…You are a force to be reckoned with, Capricorn. No one is able to ultimately effect you as you sit in clarity and define your boundaries on all levels. When you feel interference, you back yourself up and act in accordance with your own discretionary imperative. There is so much imbalance in the world, that being clear in your own space is a great place to come from.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…The benefit of trying is that we come to know more about what we want and what we don’t want in our lives. You learn as you go, Aquarius. Be kind to yourself and turn a loving ear toward your own inner voice. When you are unhappy with some aspect of life, it is good to approach yourself with compassion rather than judgment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…Inward is the direction that you are called to turn toward now, Pisces. You, more than most, are rejuvenated in times of solace and when you can unplug a bit. You are so immersed and so open that it is vital to your health and well-being to just float about in your own sense of peace far, far away from the rest of the world.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…It is easy for you to go over the top in your attempts to eliminate what feels disharmonic, Aries. You take a deep breath and regroup as you establish a more cautious approach in the days ahead. You have done the necessary work to clear your space and now you work at a more moderate pace to only let in energy that you choose.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…You are in your element of manifesting, Taurus. You are able to move with certainty and a sense of balance and strength uninterrupted toward your goals. This is your energy at its best. There is no conflict to distract you, only methodical and steady movement in the direction of your desires.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…How would we know anything on any really deep level if we didn’t experience life by immersing ourselves in it? You understand this principle completely, Gemini. You are less drawn now to the seat of the knower, and more to that of the experiential explorer of life. This is your element and you embrace it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…You search for a better footing, Cancer. What can you anchor to that is strengthening? There are ways for you to be grounded that are unencumbering and allow you to feel more comfort. What feels good and resonates with you most? This is what you draw in more closely to you now. Support can be a reassuring thing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…There is a natural grace that is born of a spiritually centered sense of self. You tap into your sense of belonging and feel how you do, in fact, have a place of perfection in the scheme of things. There is no real need to understand the details of it all, but there is a peace that you can dissolve into as you focus on your own spiritual beauty.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…The good side of establishing strong and healthy boundaries it that is allows us to achieve the highest levels of intimacy. Virgos have the capacity to understand this on the ultimate level. You are now able to reap the benefits of this truth by opening up with those who are harmonic and worthy of your heart.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…Life is meant to be magical, Libra. That is why things that deprive us of our creative self-expression feel so deadening. You reach for the things that awaken passion in you and you align yourself there. Your life force is strong and needs the room to express fully in order for you to flourish. You feel courageous in new ways.

The Sun, traveling through Libra this month, calls up our power and we are more inclined to sit strong and be willing to be unwavering in our relationships and reveal more of our true selves…until it enters Scorpio on 10/23 at the Fall Equinox, and we dive deeper into our souls for knowledge. Libra energy is about balance and harmony and the power of the mirror. What is worth moving off of our center for? How often do we abandon ourselves for acceptance and for love? The higher manifestations of Libra energy addresses the capacity in us all to reflect the beauty of another’s soul back to them. And so, the shadow side of this power is withholding love and distorting beauty. The new moon on 10/11 in Libra inspires us to sit in our strength and allow others to adjust to us. The full moon on 10/26 in Taurus shines down strength and nourishment on us.

Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on 10/12 and will turn direct in early November. Retrograde times are perfect for slowing down and for reassessment. We consider how to best exist and communicate on scorpionic levels. Personal empowerment is a scary sight to a lot of people, but should they be allowed to shut us down? People who find soul-level beauty repulsive are the ones we should be afraid of. Mars moves through Cancer as we feel our way forward. Jupiter travels through its home sign of Sagittarius, opening doors for us. Saturn is in Virgo now after several years in Leo. What can we manifest from a place of self-containment? Uranus continues its journey through Pisces, and Chiron, the wounded healer, turns direct in Aquarius on 10/21 after five months of retrograde motion. There is potency in our history of pain. When we heal our wounds we can show others the way out like no one else can. Neptune also turns direct this month in Aquarius after five months of retrograde motion. Pluto makes its third conjunction with the Galactic Center at 26 degrees of Sag on 10/26. There are many people who have grown more deeply into their power during this time. We will see new beliefs expressed in the days ahead. We will not have this alignment again for another 248 years. This has been a great time of spiritual and psychological introspection and deepening for many of us. Now, we begin to feel the energy flow forward in new and wondrous ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…Happy Birthday Libra! It’s time to ground and to shine. Show us your strength and tell us how you really feel. Give yourself the gift of empowered dynamics. The challenge is to stay strong even when others are pulling you to give them what they want or asking you to be who they want you to be. Be who you are and let the people who are drawn to your authentic self come forward and into your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…You are swept away by your feelings Scorpio. Follow the flow and let your senses guide you. There is peace for you in the nebulousness of the imaginary realms. Go there and spend time with others who are gentle and kind and who give you the space to feel safe in tranquility. Let yourself dream.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…Even a Sag needs down time. You grow weary from too much activity and long for a chance to chill out. Let the energy flow on by and remind yourself that you don’t have to grab hold and go for the ride. You can just be still and be like a rock in the river. This will renew you and bring you back to center.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…You buckle down and roll up your sleeves and dig in Capricorn. This work is not about high art right now, but rather the basic mundane tasks at hand. You do well at clearing your desk and stamping things "done." You are in your element of mastery as you check things off your list, one-by-one, with glee.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…When we have insight it is important to act on it. You know what to do and your job is to be true to yourself and trust your intuition Aquarius. This world is so often held together through strange ties where we agree among ourselves to turn a blind eye to the our inner clarity and pretend. You feel the courage to act on your own behalf.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…When one cycle ends, we often have a jumping off point into a whole new set of experiences. You find new openings now and your timing is impeccable, Pisces. Through living life we become more. You are capable of new things and you stretch new muscles and venture into the unknown.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…You reach out and seek balance and workable agreements and solutions Aries. When you step forward, you find a meeting place that works for you and others. There is power in your choices. Your clarity about your own desires brings clarity to others. You teach people to honor themselves by example.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)…You find your footing Taurus and it is on a higher level. A strong sense of grounding is the most essential, elemental ingredient for you in all your movements through life. You are able to feel your center now more strongly and this frees you up to begin you next round of manifestations!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)…You are ignited Gemini. Give yourself all the room in the world to be free and to create. You flourish in the midst of your fiery expressions. Maybe new tools are in order. There is nothing like a new creative undertaking to give room and direction to inspiration.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)…You look out toward your destiny and are able to connect to a deep sense of trust, Cancer. Your ability to draw in your power and enclose yourself in a world of your own making, leads you to a place of confidence and new capability. You can dream pragmatic dreams.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)…You turn away from what is not working Leo. Why bother doing things that you know will lead to outcomes that are undesirable? There are clear choices and you feel more freedom to follow your higher self and to make decisions that are healthy and good for you and for everyone involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…You are magical Virgo. The less you look toward others, the more you dwell in the power of your own center which is what brings you grace. It is hard to be a Virgo and not feel drawn to consider how we show up under the agendas of others. But, alas, the greatest peace comes from honoring our own sense of good and rightness and drawing from our innerself for the source of the agenda.

The Sun, traveling through Virgo this month, brings us back home to ourselves as we reassess and reaffirm our boundaries…until it enters Libra on 9/23, and we turn to others in search of a mirror. Virgo energy is about organic perfection. We must know ourselves, apart from the collective, to unfold in ways that are in alignment with our personal spiritual integrity. We can realize our divinity by listening to our perceptions and following our heart. From a place of holistic self-containment, we can merge with others in balanced ways and no one is compromised. The new moon/solar eclipse in Virgo on 9/11 heightens our discernment and strengthens our sense of self-honor. We listen to ourselves with greater compassion. The full moon in Aries on 9/26 compels us to support our deepest desires and to be there for ourselves by taking deliberate actions.

Mercury, traveling direct, enters Libra on 9/5 and moves into Scorpio on 9/27. Mercury represents how we communicate and process information. We affect each other as we show up and interface inside of each others’ realities. Can we reflect our beauty back to one another and hold space for true empowerment? Venus turns direct in Leo on 9/8. We see the value in self-exaltation and inspire others as we shine. As we each express our beauty here, the world grows a little less dim for everyone. Mars travels through Gemini this month and enters Cancer on 9/28, inspiring us to act on behalf of our feelings. Saturn, the taskmaster, heads into Virgo on the 9/2 where it will stay for the next few years. Chiron in Aquarius, Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius continue traveling retrograde this month. We contemplate our wounds, our higher selves and the spiritual nature of life. Pluto turns direct on 9/28 in Sag after many months of retrograde motion. We should all feel more open space ahead to move more fully into our power here.

Famous Virgos: Mother Teresa, Ivan the Terrible, Van Morrison

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Happy Birthday Virgo! There is nothing more beneficial for a Virgo than peace and quiet. Take the space, take a deep breath and go with the flow. You are in your element as you surrender to the natural order of things. Oftentimes, you are so far ahead of the curve that you can wind up feeling lost or off course when you are actually just arriving with all your work done a little early. Trust yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One of the high gifts of divine union is what we learn there about ourselves. You take time to grow in independent ways now, Libra. Your capacity to accommodate others can leave you disconnected from yourself as you are so tuned into their needs. Whenever you can seize a moment of solitude, you give yourself the chance to gain insight into yourself and your life. The more you know about yourself, the better partner you can be in all your relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You search for the divine in the ordinary, Scorpio. Sometimes we have to just narrow our vision and drop down more fully into everyday life to lessen the intensity and lighten things up. You might not realize it all the time, but most people are not tuned into life in the same way you are. You seem to gain a sense of peace when you meet people on their level. Not for forever…just long enough to take a break and to make connecting a little easier.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You put your foot down Sag. You refuse to be pushed around or to move too fast. You step into the control seat and set a pace that works better for you and feels more comfortable overall. You will get where you are going and you realize speeding won’t make a difference in the end. So, you might as well set a pace that allows you to enjoy the journey more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Even Capricorns can feel too much pressure with excessive energy running through and around them. You take action to turn the flame down and get things into a more comfortable state. Too much passion leads to burnout. You take the reigns and reset the tempo to a better pace for everyone involved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You rise up and show the world that your heart is good and your intentions are noble, Aquarius. Everyone needs inspiration and you have confidence in realms that many others are frightened to enter into. People are growing weary of things that are not working for them and your courage helps us all to take chances and move in new ways.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) This is a perfect to time to contemplate and realize all that is good in your life Pisces. From this empowered place, you look with strength toward the horizon and dream new dreams. There is something quite breathtaking about the visionary capacity you hold combined with the pragmatism needed to carry things forward into manifestation. You can do it.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19) You realize the power of your mind Aries. Things seem to change completely depending on your perspective. You consider your options and take your feelings into account. When things are working, you are filled with energy. When things seem to being going wrong, you are wise to drop back and let it all realign. Too much action in the wrong direction just amplifies what is undesirable.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20) There is nothing quite as disturbing to the world of a Taurus than shifting ground underfoot. When the earth moves beneath us, we can’t help but feel destabilized…it’s only human. Working with the unknown allows us to create more sustaining structures for ourselves. So, no matter how uncomfortable change can be, if we work with it consciously, and use it to our advantage, we can shift things in a better direction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Even Geminis can be reluctant to face the seemingly endless cycles of change that make up a life. This is a time of transformation for you. What you are learning now, is deep and soul altering. So, the more you can focus inward and support yourself, the better. This is a good time for laying low and deepening your compassion for yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You take it all to heart, Cancer. Now is time to remember that things are not always as they appear. You know what matters and you know what drives you. Keeping your focus on the truth and on the spiritual motives that underly all your life choices, helps you to keep your center. This is where the power lies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You move from the cosmic to the pragmatic Leo. You take what you know and bring it down to earth. Infusing this reality with your higher energy is what this time is about. Follow your inspiration to shine and you will inspire others to do the same. Your nature is to enjoy this world and to be free and creative. The more you do this, the healthier this world becomes.
