Libra (September 22-October 23)
Relationships have a beginning, middle, and end, and the stages of relationship do as well. It would appear that you are shifting stages now, rather than ending a relationship. Live the changes as consciously as you can. Most people are in near-total denial of this process and strive to preserve a perpetual state of romantic passion long after its time has passed. What you’re now experiencing in a close personal affair is like a lifetime within a hidden valley. Live it for all you’ve got, and let it change when that time arrives, with all faith that something daring, beautiful, or at least truly meaningful awaits you on the other side. To get there, you need to cross the distance: live, to surrender and be willing to move past your temporarily limited understanding of life.
Scorpio (October 23-November 22)
The sooner you can get clear that you cannot and will not change for someone else’s benefit, the sooner you’re going to seize the rare and awesome moment that’s fast approaching. This is likely to involve a joint financial matter, and one that is not necessarily so promising. It seems that someone who knows better is not getting the message, despite all your efforts to make the point. All talk and no action, all mind and too little heart, and, well, a bit lacking in the groin. Setting aside money matters for the moment, you would do well to practice scrupulous honesty and spoken, clear intention around any and all sexual matters, and insist that others do the same. There is a lot of common ground between sex and money, and that is power.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 22)
May all the people who lack confidence in themselves push you into having that confidence yourself. They have to have a use, after all, besides wasting food and air. You cannot compensate for them. It’s not your job to make sure that their work gets done. But you can get over your own petty insecurities and recognize that the world is very much your creative workshop right now. To get there from here, you need to do what Sagittarians do best, but which for too long has been something of a struggle for you: see the big picture. Not the medium-sized picture, or the shapes suggested in the half-assembled puzzle, but the very largest picture. That will tell you want you want, which is all you need to know.
Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
Embrace the reality that we all make our own decisions. This is true no matter what the outer appearance may be, or what various shades of petty tyrant try to get us to believe. Everyone chooses, and chooses all the time; most of what we choose is how we feel. That, in turn, is often the choice between truth and lie, because most self-deception occurs on the level of emotion. There’s a word for lying to ourselves about our feelings, and that word is denial. I know this can seem like a perfectly logical way to live in a world where we seem to have neither power nor control. But both of those factors are exercised by one action: choice. If you want to regain your freedom, look around and find the moment of choosing, or better still, know when you are there.
Aquarius (January 20-February 19)
Life is not a theoretical experience. The world is a sad place for those who think it is. Living in theory involves a separation of mind and body, and this never happens without a deep cause, usually in childhood. To live and live truly, you must encounter the fundamental psychic wound that binds you to abstraction, defeatism, and loss of faith. To embrace these conditions consciously is one of the most brave and human things you can do. You will learn, and you are learning. If you’re making certain mistakes again, trust that you’re making them for the last time. Just meet yourself halfway and allow yourself to be one whose primary mission is to learn well enough to be a happy learner—no more and no less.
