If being real seems bolder than you can handle, consider the possibility that the conditioning to be anything other than wholly sincere is designed to extinguish love and passion. As a wise person once wrote long ago, only truth is erotic.
Aries (March 20-April 19) — Few people want to address sexual reality openly, even with close partners. While it would seem at this time that you have little choice but to do so, you might find this to be one of the best experiences of your relationship life. That implies being real about your desires, your needs and your history; and how you feel about anyone you’re intimate enough with for whom that might make a difference. It’s considered normal to lie, conceal and dissemble on matters of sexuality, as if this were as natural as breathing. However, many things considered acceptable and even necessary have dire consequences, and where sexual secrets are concerned, the result is the loss of intimacy and the beauty of relating to others. If being real seems bolder than you can handle, consider the possibility that the conditioning to be anything other than wholly sincere is designed to extinguish love and passion. As a wise person once wrote long ago, only truth is erotic.
While the sexual nature of Taurus is often described as driven by physical desire, right below the surface is an approach to the erotic realm that can be correctly described as mystical: the sign involved is Sagittarius, which is the astrological portal to deep space.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Taurus is famously one of the most attached and jealous signs of the lot. Yet as the New Moon takes form in your opposite sign Scorpio, you have an opportunity to consider whether these emotional qualities are really signs of love, or of something else. This question is not so strange to you. You inherently understand that the nature of true bonding with another goes beyond the physical, to a common spiritual space where there can be no ownership of a person. While the sexual nature of Taurus is often described as driven by physical desire, right below the surface is an approach to the erotic realm that can be correctly described as mystical: the sign involved is Sagittarius, which is the astrological portal to deep space. You can tune into this other dimension of yourself easily now. Its reality may be more obvious when you’re alone than when you’re with a partner.
You can afford to be more optimistic, despite your underlying nervousness or concern. It’s as if you feel like a child surrounded by events that seem to be out of your control. Yet the difference between then and now is that you have considerable influence over your choices.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) — You can afford to be more optimistic, despite your underlying nervousness or concern. It’s as if you feel like a child surrounded by events that seem to be out of your control. Yet the difference between then and now is that you have considerable influence over your choices. You only need to exercise that by taking one decision at a time, in logical order. What comes first comes first; what comes next comes next. This may seem like a bold approach in our current world where everything seems to happen simultaneously. Yet that is not true. Cause and effect still exist; it’s possible to recognize your priorities; you can connect those to the decisions that you make. The world is not going to slow down for you. You must slow down enough to observe that your life is still your life.
People talk about the power of their ancestors, though our culture does not really make much room for that as a reality. I suggest you do so, any way that you can. Start with older relatives who are living; get to them in person if you can, or call them on the phone and say hello.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — People talk about the power of their ancestors, though our culture does not really make much room for that as a reality. I suggest you do so, any way that you can. Start with older relatives who are living; get to them in person if you can, or call them on the phone and say hello. Listen to what they say, whatever it is. Listen to the tone of their voice. See if you can get a sense of where they’re at emotionally and spiritually. And while the Sun is still in Scorpio, see if you can make a pilgrimage to the graves of any that you know of. The idea here is to make contact in some physical and tangible way, rather than merely thinking about them. Your experience will be better if you can get it into your body, by going somewhere, seeing something with your eyes, touching the ground, or hearing someone’s voice.
The astrology of our moment is based on an aspect called an opposition: planets facing off against one another. Yet part of that involves a cluster in Scorpio, 5th place — your creative and sexual crucible. The 5th is one’s personal art studio.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — The astrology of our moment is based on an aspect called an opposition: planets facing off against one another. Yet part of that involves a cluster in Scorpio, 5th place — your creative and sexual crucible. The 5th is one’s personal art studio. For most people, it’s also an exclusion zone; and a crime scene for many, where something was taken or damaged. Given what this angle of the chart covers, we all have something missing here. You’re the only one who can retrieve it and give it to yourself. And you’re also the only one who can receive this from yourself. Creativity is not about anyone else. It may affect them in some way, though at its core, it’s relational only on an internal level. The nature of the crime scene or the exclusion zone is that the fence around it is made of guilt. Don’t let that stop you.
You may allow yourself the experience of a wider emotional range than you normally dare. This can include positive feelings about yourself; exploring a sense of belonging on the planet; and remembering that the essential purpose of your being here is a kind of spiritual errand that is only possible in a physical environment. If you reach a patch of darkness just keep going.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — There are times when you avoid being optimistic because you want to be realistic. You are committed to being someone invested in the reality principle, as difficult as that has been at times. However, that very thing has you in its grasp right now. You can be sure that your every thought and interaction with another person is constrained by a governing principle. Therefore you can allow yourself some room to think of the possibilities. You may allow yourself the experience of a wider emotional range than you normally dare. This can include positive feelings about yourself; exploring a sense of belonging on the planet; and remembering that the essential purpose of your being here is a kind of spiritual errand that is only possible in a physical environment. If you reach a patch of darkness just keep going. Your means of orientation is coming back to telling yourself the truth.

One thing you can count on is that you’re more emotionally self-sustaining than you give yourself credit for. You are able to put out far more than you take in. However, it would be a good idea to notice when you need help with something and ask for it.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Venus arriving in your sign today will come with the feeling of remembering who you are and, just as quickly, forgetting the dream you were having about not knowing. The sensation may be akin to waking up just in time to handle a diversity of challenges that need your care, attention and wisdom. One thing you can count on is that you’re more emotionally self-sustaining than you give yourself credit for. You are able to put out far more than you take in. However, it would be a good idea to notice when you need help with something and ask for it. This could be a fairly easy worldly task, something that might feel complicated for you but which is easy for someone else. Learning how to request and accept that kind of support will be good therapy for you. And you’ll leave another person with the feeling of having made a difference.

The world you see around you exists because you are in it; because you are here to live within it. You may have limited options within the setup you see, though part of your creative ability is about making possibilities for yourself and understanding the true meaning of potential.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You are the power source of your life. You, not someone else, are your inspiration; the light of your world. The gift of your existence is your personal canvas of creation. Our societies and all they teach exalt relationships above all else. This is a distraction from your most important relationship, which is with yourself. I am not talking about some kind of “individualism” or an anti-social approach to life. Rather, the world you see around you exists because you are in it; because you are here to live within it. You may have limited options within the setup you see, though part of your creative ability is about making possibilities for yourself and understanding the true meaning of potential. In terms of relationships, you can only share what you already have. And nearly all of what you think you need from others you can provide for yourself. Understand this and you will grow toward a simpler, more spacious existence. Any drama is merely a distraction.

The New Moon taking place in the most sensitive angle of your chart — Scorpio — is an invitation to align with yourself. There are matters that have been causing you anxiety, which you may discover was caused by engaging in a form of denial.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — The New Moon taking place in the most sensitive angle of your chart — Scorpio — is an invitation to align with yourself. There are matters that have been causing you anxiety, which you may discover was caused by engaging in a form of denial. For you this often takes place in the form of minimizing your feelings, or compartmentalizing something that should be a priority that you address directly. It may help significantly if you have a conversation partner here, one who is not directly influenced by what you have to say. You have some getting accustomed to your feelings to do before you can express them in a coherent way to someone they may influence. When an issue or set of feelings has been placed in its own room for a long time, it’s necessary to integrate it into the rest of your mind and body. The time has arrived to get that process started.

The upcoming New Moon in Scorpio (a sign that’s a kind of first cousin to yours) is offering its regenerative powers. This is a good time to come out of your sea-goat cave and find out what is going on in the rest of the neighborhood. You would benefit from having one new friend.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — You are probably aware of the deteriorating social aspect of society. You’re also more accustomed than most to going it alone, especially in recent years. Yet the upcoming New Moon in Scorpio (a sign that’s a kind of first cousin to yours) is offering its regenerative powers. This is a good time to come out of your sea-goat cave and find out what is going on in the rest of the neighborhood. You would benefit from having one new friend. To do that, you might need to meet three or four new people. Being lonely is not a requirement for Capricorn; being unusual is. So you’re looking for someone who appreciates who you are, and who is an unusual soul like you. One clue from the astrology is they are tuned into the sadness of the world, but not consumed by it
The message of your charts is to temper your drive for success, and be happy with small, decisive moves rather than thinking you have to conquer the world in the next two weeks. You want to use momentum, not thrust. And you have plenty of it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — The message of your charts is to temper your drive for success, and be happy with small, decisive moves rather than thinking you have to conquer the world in the next two weeks. You want to use momentum, not thrust. And you have plenty of it. You can tell you’re overheating when you smell emotional smoke. Very simply, cool off, add water, and use some of that famous Aquarius detachment and sort out your options. Then consider them for a while, and make necessary decisions. Your ability to keep cool is helpful when you have high emotional throughput. Repeating the formula: assess options, and make necessary decisions. That implies a step of noting what needs to be decided by when. And while you want this to be as chill of a process as you can arrange, you simply must find a physical outlet for your energy, and a wholesome way to burn off hormones. accomplished.
