Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Someone may be driving a hard bargain, and may indeed seem perfectly unreasonable in their approach. You must use psychology, not persuasion or force. They are being unreasonable with themselves more than with anyone else, and this situation will pass without your doing too much. However, you may be taking it personally, and you may feel inclined to respond. If so, you’ll need to work out the mental chess game that they are putting themselves through, and, in a sense, you’ll need to know anyone you’re dealing with better than they know themselves. This is easy because most people lack any objectivity on their own situation. What you need to do at the same time is maintain some objectivity about your own status. Here is one fairly obvious key. Finding a meeting place will come in the form of acknowledging the sprit of the plans rather than the excruciating details. To set yourself free of the scourge that is afflicting so many at the moment, you will need to keep your Aquarian equanimity at the front of your very broad mind. You also need to give the impression—and take on board—the fact that certain details do indeed matter, but what they add up to matters entirely more.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Distance yourself from the struggles of others. They’re not your problem, but they can become so if you get too involved. At this point, it may be that many people around you are in an identity crisis, struggling with changes or caught in some degree of mental frustration. However, this condition is not unanimous, and neither are the styles in which people are going through their wide diversity of movements and developments. This is a particularly meaningful time for you to figure out who’s who and what’s what in your relationships. It’s one part of an overall get-serious campaign that you were summoned to embark on about one year ago. To my thinking, this amounts to being aware and seeing patterns, for example, patterns of giving and receiving; of how people handle their life crises, and of how they perceive you and what they think your role is in their life. The overarching theme of your relationships now is setting limits and paying attention to the details. They are related, because being the generous person you are, you will need to set those limits—and reclaim your energy—one relationship at a time. After a while, you’ll figure out with whom you want to share the best of what you have to offer. Until then, bide your time.
