Astrology Explored

Aries–You can’t always get what you want, but you might find you get what you need. You do need to clear the cobwebs out of the thinking processes and pay attention to what is in your own best interests. Dashing headlong into new people and new situations may seem like a good idea, but then again you aren’t known for thinking things through. Other people haven’t been dancing on your head for nothing. Find a rhythm that works for you and the people in your life.

Taurus–This month the Bull has an extra powerful need to be in control of your surroundings. The problem is other people aren’t quite ready to subscribe to “The World According to Taurusâ€?. Naturally you stubbornly hold your ground, and naturally you’ll get kicked in teeth for it. Your best bet, talk softly, and carry a box of chocolates instead of a big stick.

Gemini–So much is coming your way this month you have no idea which to handle first. There is the big “projectâ€? dumped suddenly in your lap that is demanding all your attention and your family who is less than thrilled that you are not taking care of things on the home front. Have a talk with a trusted older relative who has some practical advice to juggle responsibilities.

Cancer–Oops, you did it again and you didn’t mean to! Sudden collisions with reality, fate and the vicissitudes of life leave you reeling if you fail to take care of practical affairs. Pay attention to all correspondence, even if you don’t want to. Jupiter is in Capricorn in tension aspect to your sign, a grim taskmaster that bears down hard to make a point. Meditation, yoga or simply sitting by some water will help calm your frazzled nerves.

Leo–You are feeling footloose and fancy free, but wait, it that a pratfall in your script? Yes, Pluto, the planet of power and transformation forms a tricky stress aspect to your sign. You have yet to realize the powerful changes that are nascent in your life. Dig deep into your spiritual practices to guide you, because you are poised to pull way ahead of the pack and there are no signposts to tell you where you are going.

Virgo–You’ve got a good stuff ahead this month as powerful forces align to help you achieve your dreams. You are recognized for your practical experience and knowledge and even your ability to put in the long hours. One proviso, get all promises in writing, because promises spoken mean nothing without the signature attached.

Libra– Your situation is complicated by your desire to do your own thing and your friends’ desire to have you do theirs. As much as you love to please, this might be the one time when you say thanks, but no thanks. Why? First, you are not ready to take on the same adventure that they are and second, your own adventure is much more exciting. Take a rain check and enjoy yourself.

Scorpio–The past, present and future line up to show you a clear path to achievement. Though your family might not approve, you are on target to do exactly what it is you want to do. Relationships with women, though, are dicey at this time and you just might find out there are important changes on the home front of which you were not aware. Reach out to others to form lines of communication during this critical time.

Sagittarius–If there is one thing you despise it is being pinned down, but here you are caught between grueling reality and a heart crushing dashing of your dreams. There is no good mulling on what could have been, because, quite frankly sometimes things do happened for a reason. The reason is that there is a much better opportunity in the offing. Keep your eyes open and pounce on it quickly even if it doesn’t quite look like what you want. You’ll be glad you did.

Capricorn–You are living large with Jupiter running through your sign and normally this is a cause for at least a big smile. But right now you Cappish ways are causing you some problems in communications with other people. You are inclined to be overprotective of your own interests right now, leaving no room for others to voice their opinions. This can be dangerous. You don’t want them feeling that they can’t count on you for support, because when it come right down to it, you need them more than they need you. Work towards enlightened self-interest.

Aquarius–Important changes in your home have all the earmarks of fated destiny. Though the last thing you want is to be tied down, that is exactly what this month holds in store for you, though in a curious way this gives you more freedom than you ever had before. However, some people are not so copasetic with the situation. The key to weathering these tricky currents it to remain still while others take their shots. They’ll miss their mark and you’ll be standing tall.

Pisces–Authority figures tell you that you need to get a grip? Do you? You might not be crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s and precision is called for this month. Toeing the line isn’t exactly in your personal lexicon of human tricks, Pisces. If the situation is too onerous, you do have the opportunity to make things exactly the way you want to.
