CANCER: Jun 21—Jul 20
Without oversimplifying things, everything comes down to realizing that you don’t want to get stuck here. This is no time for your security issues and your fears to be wagging the dog, or telling you that you’ll lose everything if you go for what’s behind the curtain.

LEO: Jul 21—Aug 20
Backing off now could take the form of work/study events that take you away long enough to recalibrate your sense of self. When you get a clearer picture of who you want to be, you’ll see that you’ve over romanticized something that has turned out to be more of a hostage crisis than a fairy tale.

VIRGO: Aug 21—Sep 20
Instead of obsessing about where all this is heading, stay alert to your situation and hold enough faith to believe in what you know to be true; it is the truth that wins out in this situation.

LIBRA: Sep 21—Oct 20
I sense you’ll soon get reacquainted with more than just your memories. Keep a candle burning in the window; old ghosts, flames and partners-in-crime will be back to remind you that it’s what money can’t buy that gets us through the night.

SCORPIO: Oct 21—Nov 20
Something is being cracked open, and the seed that holds your spirit is at a point where it needs to birth something new in order to grow. Check in with where you were headed about seven years ago; how far have you come? Or are things still bubbling in the same old stew?

SAGITTARIUS: Nov 21—Dec 20
It makes no sense to keep abandoning one thing after another. This includes the people who have come to care about you. Don’t be insensitive to the fact that others are a factor in this equation.

CAPRICORN: Dec 21—Jan 20
Standing up to what could either be an inquest into your business affairs or an attempt to undermine your position will go smoother if you have your ducks lined up clearly enough to derail those who want to knock you off your perch.

AQUARIUS: Jan 21—Feb 20
Whatever you’ve achieved in terms of stability can be used to further things that could make a difference for you and for others. It’s time to reevaluate your purpose without needing to limit your sense of what’s possible for you at this stage of the game.

PISCES: Feb 21—Mar 20
In order to save yourself from having to face the consequences of your actions, you need to take a good look at what happens to anyone who winds up aligning themselves with the wrong people. You don’t have to go down with this ship.

ARIES: Mar 21—Apr 20
Others are there to show you how life plays tricks on all of us. Every stranger on the path is a brother in arms. At this point, their stories are enough like your own to make you wish you knew how to save both your heart, and theirs, from the past.

TAURUS: Apr 21—May 20
Things have gotten to the point where you could use some time and enough distance to return to yourself. Lots of things have shifted in the last few months. What matters now looks a lot different than it did before things got so intense.

GEMINI: May 21—Jun 20
What comes out of this period will give you the opportunity to learn a few things from those who know more than you. Any chance to learn should be seen as you getting set up to take this one step further.
