Weekly Horoscope for Friday, June 3, 2011, #862 - BY ERIC FRANCIS

Revised and Updated! Click for Eric's Zodiac Sign Descriptions

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You really can let bygones be bygones with a sibling. At the same time, it's always useful to recognize who a person is and accept them for that, rather than trying to change them in any way -- and I do mean any way. Most people are committed to who they have become rather than to who they are becoming. You don't live that way, and your charts are all about moving on. You see a bigger world; you are aware of the existence of horizons much wider than you've ever lived. That really is the difference between you and the people you grew up around. The challenging part of accepting that difference is feeling free to be who you are as an active process, rather than a fixed notion -- and not using your past, or the figures of the past, as a point of comparison by which you judge yourself. A little compare and contrast is okay, but not too much. You are learning to see yourself in the context of wider potentials than you, or they, ever have, and the habit of comparison is a way to block that. Aim for the sky.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Earlier in the week there was a solar eclipse in the financial angle of your chart. Did you figure out anything about how your two contrasting views of money tend to deny one another rather than support one another? I've described this before: a double values system. On one side, you might like money, but on the other be convinced that money corrupts people. Or you might appreciate good things but feel guilty about having too much. Recent events are likely to point out the contrast, which can be frustrating if you don't have a way around it. The thing is, you do. You know that there's a solution set, and you're close to having it figured out. The key rather than figuring it out is to live the version of the truth that you want to be true. Conflict serves a purpose -- usually to appease someone in authority. Once you let go of the conflict, you move into a position where you serve yourself, and are therefore also useful to others.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- When eclipses reach your birth sign (something that just happened this week) you can be thrown into an identity crisis. That's actually a good thing, as long as you know what's going on. And what would that be? Identity is more flexible than we like to think. Indeed, it is our choice to cling to who we think we are that tends to throw us into crisis, particularly when we don't quite know. The way to find out who you are is to let go of your old ideas of who you thought you were. I know that this is more difficult than it seems, but that's generally because we don't know what those old ideas are. I would say, you have bumped into one any time you encounter frustration or a sense of failure. Think of that as a matter of identity rather than as a fact of the world. See how far back you can trace the story of that particular emotion. It's often liberating to put together the simple fact that something has a history. Then remind yourself that you're in a different place and time, under different rules. Stay conscious and you can change the game.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- The thing about having any feelings at all is that they sometimes lead to deep feelings, which can lead to a sensation of being out of control. The fear of this turn of events leads many people to skim the surface of their feelings like an insect skeets along the surface of water. Bugs can do that using a natural thing called surface tension -- and that is what you feel when you meet many people. It's a defensive layer that coats the outside of their psyche that makes them seem impenetrable. While doing this may seem like a prudent thing to do (after all, it keeps people out) it also blocks the feelings of those you might want to encounter in a deeper way. Most of that surface tension is expressed through the personality as indifference, which is a little like cutting off the flow of blood to your brain. You're not indifferent; in fact, you're very different, and you're curious about other people who are different as well. Open the door and let them in.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- I suggest you notice the direct relationship between what you set as a goal and what you accomplish. I am not here to tell you that you can do this; I am here to suggest that you investigate the ways you do so regularly. Once you notice this, you will have evidence how important your goals actually are, because they're the thing you actually get done. This is a pivotal moment for adjusting your goals. Choose what you want; let go of what you do not want. Work for what you want. Stop working for what you don't want. Observe any conflicts in your plan. Perhaps most significantly, resurrect old plans that you may have forgotten about the past few years. Dust them off and see what they say. At the very least there will be some gems in there that you can apply to your current projects. One last thing -- a sense of play is vital to anything you begin now. The more fun something is, the greater chance of success you have, in part because you're succeeding from the beginning.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- As I have written many times, one interesting thing about your sign is your tendency to have two distinct careers. I say this knowing that many people walk around with an assortment of business cards, and have five different web identities. I don't mean that -- I mean that you have the potential, and the inclination, to be a master of two distinct professional activities. On the surface, they may seem to have little in common. Yet they are informed by the same values. You do them for the same inner reasons, though they might appear to fulfill different outer purposes. Right now I suggest you emphasize the unity of these two modes of your existence, particularly if you've been feeling out of balance about your work. Do your best to feel good about whatever you're doing, which will help you succeed and also provide a positive frame of reference for the decisions you're about to make.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Saturn stations direct on June 12, which tells me you're in the process of coming to terms with who you are. This is a matter of taking authority over yourself, rather than letting others have that privilege. This may be eminently pleasant. But if you're struggling a little, note that this is one of the most challenging things that a human being can do on this planet and in our time of history. The story of Earth is the story of people giving up their power and then trying to get it back. Beneath this drama there is a tendency that we are dealing with, which you could call planetary in nature; it's about how we get control over kids. Indeed, we treat children as things to get control over; then we treat women that way; then we treat men that way; and soon enough we all walk around believing that it's our God-given right to make sure that people feel like they have control over us. That's why coming to terms with who you are and what you want can feel like no less than waging the French Revolution. If so, then Liberté! Egalité! Fraternité!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- A subject that has, for weeks, seemed intractable is now open to discussion. Something changed -- don't worry about what. The effect won't be influenced by whether you understand why the air seems clearer, or why others seem less attached to their past positions, or more accurately, their past contradictions. I suggest you invest your energy in listening and inquiring rather than making statements. This is a fairly rare opportunity to experience the people around you going against what they think of as their nature, and in the process, being of service to the whole situation. I would remind you, however, that there are much more important matters on the line than what is currently up for discussion, and by that I mean fundamental matters of your own integrity. Don't get lost in the details, the trivia, or the gossip. In fact, move on from them as fast as you can.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- This week's eclipse in your opposite sign has done a good job of stirring the pot in your relationships, which is another way of saying: in your life. What seems to be an external circumstance is really a projection of your own thoughts. It's not always easy to see this, but your perspective at the moment is well suited to work with this dimension of reality. When you see or experience something outside yourself, follow that inward. This counts for 'negative' and 'positive' developments. The current experiment may take a couple of weeks to yield the full effect, which is about discovering how you influence your world. One thing to keep an eye on is that the effect will proceed from the outer to the inner; something will happen, and then you will discover how you influenced that, or how it worked out for you. Practice noticing and then you can start using this as a method to live by.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You may not feel ready, but you have an opportunity. The lack of readiness has a few components, one of which is being reluctant to take on any more responsibility than you already have. However, if you're thinking this, you may be working with an outdated concept of responsibility. We could start with an easy shift into the 'able to respond' definition of that word; explore that for a while and check out how you feel. In practical terms, doing more is not always a matter of working harder. There are three factors at play: awareness, efficiency and desire. Start by being aware of your surroundings and how they are changing. This includes what supposed authority figures are saying, doing and planning. Next, look for simple solutions to what may seem like complex problems. You should be able to see through the issues and observe them for what they are. Last, the desire factor addresses any additional work. It's not work if you really, truly, want to do it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your homing instinct is going at full strength, and it's closely related to your sexual instincts. Indeed, it would be safe to say that they are one and the same at this point. That does not assure that they are 'correct' -- we live in a world that tends to go counter to what we know in our cells. So you will need to conduct an investigation, or more accurately, an experiment. The essential nature of the experiment is communication, but it's a fairly daring kind. A door that was closed is now open; it's both an inner door and an outer one. There is a mirror effect going on; you are in an environment that is at once social and also psychological. So as you explore, remember you're exploring yourself -- and that you're providing a space for someone to explore who they are as well. The key is to keep the flow of communication open in the midst of any communing that may be going on. Listen and speak as your environment rapidly evolves.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your home is becoming a busier place, and I suggest you welcome that fact. As always, you need to make sure that you have the time and space to retreat and do what you can only do alone, but besides that, leave your doors open. Explore your neighborhood and make new friends, even if you thought there weren't any to meet. Look up some old friends and see what's going on with them. Your environment is shifting and at the moment distinctly lacks the inert quality that so much of the world's environment has right now. There is just the right touch of reactivity in the air; just the right touch of the miraculous or the odd chance. The zone you're looking for is the one where you're pushing your boundary of safety or confidence but you know you're probably okay. This is a way of discovering that your sense of security has you hemmed in, and that you're definitely safe and grounded -- the more so for taking some actual risks for the sake of your happiness.
