SCORPIO  Oct 21-Nov 20
Several themes could be running through your life. It’s time to cut ties is a piece that many of you are dealing with. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with needing to break away from things that have outlived their relevance or their usefulness.

SAGITTARIUS  Nov 21-Dec 20
You need to look at what needs to happen next. It’s good to be able to stay focused on the future, especially now that you see that it is being created in the moment. That thought has you thinking that none of this is as bad as it looks and you are lucky to be blessed with such an incredible life.

CAPRICORN  Dec 21-Jan 20
Say hello to your inner strength! It could be a jolt of new-found faith; it could also be something in you that has awakened and given you a deeper dose of insight into why you are here. You are too blown away to put your finger on it.

AQUARIUS  Jan 21-Feb 20
You have more support than you realize. The perception that no one’s there for you depends on how you look at it. It would be unwise for you to hold that thought any longer than you have to. Open your heart to the goodness that surrounds you.

PISCES  Feb 21-Mar 20
You over dramatize pretty much everything. The tendency to slip into fantasy has you wishing for something ineffable. This makes you prone to all kinds of behavior, ranging from going off the deep end to reading way too much into things.

ARIES  Mar 21-Apr 20
You keep trying to control things that may not need to be controlled. If you feel like you’ve got to stay on top of the situation, ask yourself why, and look at what it’s getting you. Sometimes it’s safer to let go of the catch and let nature take its course.

TAURUS  Apr 21-May 20
Part of you is in love with something; another part of you wishes you could make it go away. The need to remain steady in the face of change has taught you a lot about being strong enough to handle anything.

GEMINI  May 21-Jun 20
You have no choice but to keep things on an even keel, even if it means overlooking whatever you’d rather be doing. Don’t try to solve anything too deep or waste time thinking you need to perform miracles on anyone’s behalf but your own.

CANCER  Jun 21-Jul 20
With all the best intentions, others have decided to take off for a while. The way you respond to this will make a huge difference. Don’t get too wound up about it. Staying cool and finding ways to cope involves being less obsessive about things.

LEO  Jul 21-Aug 20
Before you know it, a tidal wave of obligations will have you by the balls. When life gets like this, the best you can do is deal with it and find enough time to sleep in between whatever’s expected of you.

VIRGO  Aug 21-Sep 20
To think that you could wrap your mind around this situation is insane — give it a rest. Sometimes we get into situations that are totally foreign and unfamiliar. If you can be patient, what you can’t figure out will morph into something miraculous.

LIBRA  Sep 21-Oct 20
Don’t be too concerned with how others choose to introduce you to themselves. The old way of doing things has got you thinking that this is another time when in fact the world has changed in ways that make it hard to follow the new standard.
