GEMINI: May 21—Jun 20
It would be great if you could figure out how to shut up and listen. You’re the best when it comes to ideas, but when it comes to being able to see the big picture, you’ve become myopic. Volumes of experience are about to translate into something that will allow you to pull years of work into a nutshell.

CANCER: Jun 21—Jul 20
Every once in a while we come up against a choice that gives us a chance to stick with what we’ve got or trust that something else might work out better. You are right there, right now, and the need to be circumspect will allow you to go forward without feeling like you’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

LEO: Jul 21—Aug 20
Riding herd on people won’t make them rise to your expectations. If you want this to grow give it room. And before you convince yourself that a deeper commitment is what you’re after take a month off and look at what it is you want out of it.

VIRGO: Aug 21—Sep 20
If you thought this period was going to be all sweetness and light, you’ve learned a thing or two. Going deeper into things has shown you how dark life can get when you really look at what motivates people to do what they do.

LIBRA: Sep 21—Oct 20
You’ve come to the conclusion that you have to rearrange your perspective on things that have gotten to be too much about money. This about face has brought you back to a simpler place. It has also reminded you so much of some long-ago stuff and rekindled a desire for love and truth and simplicity.

SCORPIO: Oct 21—Nov 20
Getting blown out of the water has its good and bad points. You’re either shellshocked or amazed that your life has taken off like a rocket. It’s all the same, no matter how it looks.

SAGITTARIUS: Nov 21—Dec 20
You’ve got opportunities brewing that are bound to come with a few strings attached. What seems so attractive may have less to offer than what you’ve got going on right now. Instead of jumping on the next best thing, take a look at what’s here and see what you can do with it.

CAPRICORN: Dec 21—Jan 20
Politics and diplomacy need to be brought into play if you want to come out of this better off than you are now. Step out of the situation far enough to see that you don’t have as much leverage as you once did, and your associates are pushing a whole new agenda.

AQUARIUS: Jan 21—Feb 20
You’ve got it made on so many levels, it’s hard to see that much of what you’re doing needs to change. Complacency may be comfortable but it doesn’t lend any excitement to your life.

PISCES: Feb 21—Mar 20
The need to go out on a limb for anyone isn’t something you need to be doing. It’s great to be 100 percent there for people, but not if it’s killing you. This particular behavior is expressing
itself to a greater or lesser degree depending on your history.

ARIES: Mar 21—Apr 20
You have too many things converging all at once to be able to do much, but take one thing at a time. The log-jam in your brain is keeping many of you awake at night.

TAURUS: Apr 21—May 20
Nobody gets to you the way a certain so-and-so gets to you. And this is either feeling bad or good depending on where you stand with each other. In some ways it’s OK to care this much and/or be this involved.
