Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)
You work on a different timescale than other people. This is in part because you’re inherently connected to the distant past, and aware that certain timeless traditions bind together the logs on the fragile raft on which humanity is floating. Yet the sign change of your ruling planet Saturn is taking you into an era when you begin to question some of your fundamental beliefs, and reassess your most basic orientations on existence. No sooner does this process begin than it gets some unexpected results. You’re likely to conclude that there’s no way you could have created these results yourself, merely by committing to a process of re-evaluation. However, what science has not accounted for is that the decision to do something has power that can be called metaphysical. It gets results that can’t really have their roots in the clunky world of cause and effect that we spend so much time navigating. In this moment of revelation, all the normal rules of your life are suspended: Take advantage of this situation to make some decisions that would otherwise seem much more difficult.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
Existence as we know it is like a vast matrix of agreements. Some, we can see and acknowledge, others we seem to have no clue about. What remains a constant, and what every good therapist or spiritual teacher will strive to convey to you, is the importance of following your own values and priorities. This creates the effect of your maintaining your internal psychic air pressure when the human atmosphere is constantly pushing against you. Second, it reminds others that you come with your own agenda. What is always interesting is when they decide suddenly to go along with you. Don’t spend so much time wondering why, if the climate of your relationships shifts toward focus, or toward eliminating the nonsense from the discussion. Don’t be shocked if someone suddenly decides they are willing to take you up on your whole crazy plan. Just remember: You tend to be ahead of your time, and people need time to catch up. Or rather, they needed it. And soon, a whole new set of agreements will be possible.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Fair to say that something you were not expecting to happen, yet have been working toward for a long time, manifests suddenly this month. The September 11 solar eclipse in Virgo serves as a kind of time warp, which you can ride toward catching up with a plan, idea, concept, or dream that has been in the works perhaps since 2003. It may have gone through many revisions and revolutions, but something is ready to hatch. What you’ve accomplished during that time mainly involves developing the kind of self-assurance that comes only from asserting who you really are, and seeing the results. Remember that long ago, you gave up your reluctance to push others into getting your way, setting themselves free. Among the discoveries of the coming weeks is how willing some people close to you are to wake up and pay attention. As for the rest—you’ll find out where they stand, and don’t take it personally. We live in strange times, when many neither understand the pressure they are under, the responsibilities they face, nor why they believe what they believe. Don’t let anyone’s doubts influence you.
