This is coming through people whose names you know, and others so far up your genetic lineage you cannot conceive of them. Whether you feel it or not, your connection to your predecessors is the source of your strength and your influence.
Aries (March 20-April 19) —The influence of family is quite strong at the moment, though this looks more like a gathering of the ancestors than like a typical holiday. Or more like their guidance and influence is thundering in and in some way shaping your every move.
This is coming through people whose names you know, and others so far up your genetic lineage you cannot conceive of them. Whether you feel it or not, your connection to your predecessors is the source of your strength and your influence. Do your best to consciously honor and stay in contact with them, and you will never feel like you’re standing alone. Guidance can come in the form of a beacon rather than specific instructions.
But you can also seek opinions and perspectives infused with the wisdom of the past, and specifically, of tradition. In times of chaos, spiritual reference points, and honoring the passage of time, are vitally important. You hold the connection, the golden thread that joins you to all whose existence led to yours. Among those whom we call the living, this is a special time of taking family leadership for you.

Though you may not recognize it, you’re doing better than nearly everyone else. Through some dark and difficult times, you have learned many adaptation skills and have been the beneficiary of the support and generosity of others.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Your solar charts present a picture of your life in balance, where you have meaningful and mutually supportive relationships with other people. This includes those you would consider intimates and those you know through various aspects of community. Is this true? If it’s not, you have the resources to make it so.
Though you may not recognize it, you’re doing better than nearly everyone else. Through some dark and difficult times, you have learned many adaptation skills and have been the beneficiary of the support and generosity of others. Along the way, you’ve gradually been finding yourself in places where your leadership is called for. Do you respond? Do you speak up, and do what is necessary?
It’s easy in this world to grant yourself a pass, and assume that someone else will take up certain vital responsibilities and necessities. Doing one’s part can be inconvenient, even if someone is capable. We live in a time in history that is calling for people to step up to challenges from which they don’t personally benefit except from the satisfaction of doing the right thing — and even that can present a temptation to rely on personal benefit. Be the leadership you seek in the world.

Living your truth is living in alignment with yourself. If you say something or someone matters, then you treat them as if they matter. One version of the split that leads to personal conflict is making decisions contrary to what one holds to be true.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — The most important gift you can offer to yourself, and others, is to live your truth. There is a process involved here, made necessary because life on our planet is so complicated. What is living your truth? It means knowing what you value, which is to say, what is truly important to you, and making your decisions on that basis.
Living your truth is living in alignment with yourself. If you say something or someone matters, then you treat them as if they matter. One version of the split that leads to personal conflict is making decisions contrary to what one holds to be true. To align yourself may take a little effort, though you will find that it’s pretty easy once you get going.
In fact, you may wonder what you’ve been doing all along — and the chances are, it’s been acting on what other people have said is important (and their own interests). Part of acting on your own priorities is the potential that you will annoy people through your independence. These interrelationships make an interesting study in how things get to be the way they are. You know what matters to you. Have the courage to act on your own self-awareness.

The ethics of the internet have largely taken over physical life, including lots of getting something for nothing. Nobody needs this; it’s terrible for the world, and for self-respect. Negotiating a relationship where everyone benefits is not always easy, and many are off-put by the discussion.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Your solar chart is a map to how you can integrate yourself into the good works going on around you, and invite people into what you’re doing. There’s a delicate balance necessary here, and it’s becoming more difficult to find — which is energy exchange. That means mutual support and investment.
The ethics of the internet have largely taken over physical life, including lots of getting something for nothing. Nobody needs this; it’s terrible for the world, and for self-respect. Negotiating a relationship where everyone benefits is not always easy, and many are off-put by the discussion. Therefore, first, look for the places where it comes naturally and emphasize those relationships. Second, look for the places where there is an imbalance and address that directly, if tactfully. Living an ethical life is not quid pro quo. It cannot be.
However, such is a substitute for understanding that everything exists in an ecosystem. You must create your own, based on solid principles and with some sense of urgency. What you are doing can serve many people; and there are others in a similar position. Your quest is to determine who has the intelligence to respond in a way that dependably builds the world and holds it together.

You can do plenty, though there’s currently a trend in the world luring you (and everyone else) to hold back as much as you can. A mean spirit is permeating the social and political environments, and yet you have the capacity to respond with kindness.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — With Jupiter and Uranus going across the midheaven angle of your solar chart, you’re likely to be on a winning streak. You are visible and recognized. This is an excellent time to build your reputation though working for genuine accomplishments (not merely being seen). Yet borrowing a phrase, the question of your charts is more about what you can do for your country than what your country can do for you.
You can do plenty, though there’s currently a trend in the world luring you (and everyone else) to hold back as much as you can. A mean spirit is permeating the social and political environments, and yet you have the capacity to respond with kindness. People are looking to you for an example of how to conduct themselves, especially when there are ethical gray areas involved.
So, what you say and do matters more than you think. One way to consider the theme here is “how we use our power.” First you have to know what it is, and then you would respond to situations where you can have an influence. There will be many, and some of them will be a pretty good fit. Perfection is not necessary.
You’ve had a lot of room to wiggle, which means to accept what you want as true. But there is now a filter through which all the light is shining. If that is presenting obstacles, they are perceptual: you are being asked to look at the world differently, and make your assessments on a different basis.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) – You may experience the temptation to push against an immovable object, or to take part in some other futile exercise. You have far better options. Yet the difference between now and the past few years is that Saturn in your opposite sign will hold you to the reality principle.
You’ve had a lot of room to wiggle, which means to accept what you want as true. But there is now a filter through which all the light is shining. If that is presenting obstacles, they are perceptual: you are being asked to look at the world differently, and make your assessments on a different basis. And that would be the question, “What is true?” This is the question that we are being conditioned every day to avoid and deny.
Yet you must recognize when someone is telling you a story. It’s essential that you know when you don’t know, so you don’t respond by jumping to what seem like easy conclusions. This is asking for more than most people can offer right now, but not more than you have. What do you have? Intelligence, a measure of faith in yourself, and the ability to be flexible. Put all that to work and you will do just fine.
Something strange has happened in the age of social media, which is that nearly everyone has been thrust into being some kind of public personality, as apart from their actual person. This is becoming a painful split. It’s difficult for many people with a lot of experience and a good reason for being known.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Your ruling planet Venus turns to one of its rare retrograde phases later this month. This happens in what has become one of the most complicated houses in all of astrology — the 11th, that of groups, and contact with the limited public.
Something strange has happened in the age of social media, which is that nearly everyone has been thrust into being some kind of public personality, as apart from their actual person. This is becoming a painful split. It’s difficult for many people with a lot of experience and a good reason for being known. You may already be feeling the instinctual guide to carefully curate what you present publicly.
This practice will help remind you that what goes out to the public — small or large though it may be — is a performance or presentation, and that your actual life cannot be one. For sure, aspire to total sincerity. Be artful in all that you do. Taking actual risks is a sign that you’re alive and conducting your life force through what you create. The retrograde will give you an opportunity to read the public, as well as to retreat into a more deeply self-aware space. The two will go together well.
You may discover that it’s not a good idea to attempt total control over how you’re perceived, or to resent those who get the wrong idea. The essential message of Venus retrograde is to focus on your professional partnerships.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — In a few weeks, Venus will station retrograde in the angle of your chart associated with your reputation and professional aspirations. That will be in Leo, which describes you as always wanting to be seen in a positive light. Yet the retrograde may have the effect of you turning your back to the Sun, all the better to see what is in the shadows.
You may discover that it’s not a good idea to attempt total control over how you’re perceived, or to resent those who get the wrong idea. The essential message of Venus retrograde is to focus on your professional partnerships. Those are the relationships that matter, and you can be grateful that you have them.
Remember that nobody owes you anything unless you both agree that they do. In many ways, Venus retrograde will be an exercise in practicing fairness and equanimity: balance, born of wisdom. Remember that other people have their struggles too, and you are often in a position to offer your assistance. Do you? Do you expect something in return, even if you don’t need it? In our time especially, it’s vital to remember that price is not the only measure of value.
There will often be points of disagreement, though you may ultimately decide that they don’t matter. Working toward shared goals and supporting one another’s ideals is what does.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — The Sun moving through one of the most sensitive areas of your chart is going to test some of your relationships. This soft-spot is the sign Cancer, which covers situations where there is usually a mix of financial and sexual intimacy. The challenge is that the Sun is making many different tense aspects to planets in closely related signs.
So the result is likely to be the need for honest discussion and a mutual agreement on what is truly important. In a relationship of two, it’s impossible to work on the basis of “majority rules.” Decisions must be either based on consensus, or one person overpowering the other (which will not work for long).
C.T. Butler taught me this: Agree first on the underlying values, then make decisions based on them. So the focus needs to be on finding common ground and then working with it. There will often be points of disagreement, though you may ultimately decide that they don’t matter. Working toward shared goals and supporting one another’s ideals is what does. And you have plenty to work with, though at first it would be best to keep it as simple as possible and start with high-level priorities.
You can look at life as a diorama of your own thoughts and feelings. Make sure you see this as a kind of show, rather than a reality being imposed on you. Keep just a little distance, and take the opportunity to observe.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) – The Sun’s journey through your opposite sign can be a challenging time of year, though it will be easier if you know what to look for. Cancer is also called your “solar 7th house” and is a kind of cosmic mirror where you can see what is going on with you below the verbal or mental level.
You can look at life as a diorama of your own thoughts and feelings. Make sure you see this as a kind of show, rather than a reality being imposed on you. Keep just a little distance, and take the opportunity to observe. The Sun will make many aspects along its course the next few weeks, which will each reveal something new about your existence. You can use this information to make decisions, adjust your point of view, and see your options.
There will be a series of juncture points — events that might manifest as a little crisis, or a chance encounter, or a situation where you’re presented with a decision to make. Treat each one of these as if it matters: as if each is a significant intersection point where which way you turn matters. Know when you’ve reached one, and proceed with full awareness rather than the usual techno half-sleep of our society.
If they do, there’s one thing I’ve found that’s essential — don’t have any expectations about the result. It might develop into something; more likely, it’s a moment of reconnection.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Later this month, something unusual happens in your relationship angle that may come with a touch of nostalgia or a reminder of how good the past was. This might be a feeling you have generally, and it might pertain to a specific relationship. It’s the kind of transit where past partners and old squeezes might show up.
If they do, there’s one thing I’ve found that’s essential — don’t have any expectations about the result. It might develop into something; more likely, it’s a moment of reconnection. You won’t know where someone is at until you listen to them for a while. The chances are it’s a very different place than where you left off. Generally — apart from an old squeeze returning — the effect of Venus retrograde tells you something about your relationship to the past.
In times of chaos like we are in, people cling to what they remember as the good times. However, those past times were often as hectic and even as chaotic and stressful as what we are living through now. Okay, perhaps a bit less chaotic but we’ve always been surfing along the edge of nowhere. The message of Venus retrograde can be summed up in two old expressions: Be here now, and love the one you’re with.

The effect is Saturn in your birth sign. I suggest you work with it, because if you do, you can transform your life — slowly but dependably. Saturn is about taking on responsibility for yourself and authority over your affairs.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may feel like you’re under a lot of pressure, but you’re also getting a lot done. Pisces experiences everything from a psychic and emotional perspective first. This creates a distortion when you have the sense that the walls are closing in, but really, you’re a little behind or short on cash.
The effect is Saturn in your birth sign. I suggest you work with it, because if you do, you can transform your life — slowly but dependably. Saturn is about taking on responsibility for yourself and authority over your affairs. It’s also about the wise and respectful use of time, and respect generally. Along the way, you may feel like you’re in the squeeze — like you don’t have enough, or like time is running out. Under the influence of Saturn, time must become your ally.
This will teach you to stay a step ahead of yourself, and to prioritize what must happen and what you want to happen rather than what you think you’re supposed to do. Though Saturn is not about “consciousness” generally, responding appropriately is all about raising awareness and learning how to make decisions. And with Saturn, the greatest of the taskmasters, you can accomplish what you set out to do.
