Sagittarius (November 22-December 22)
A theme that developed last month persists: Take care of the details. You also need to know what details matter and which do not. So the other bit of stardust advice is don’t get too carried away. You need to do what you must to keep the kind of control that can only come with awareness; and you would be wise to recognize just how much awareness you already possess. I don’t mean to talk circles here. The short way around the tree is to say, pay attention to the extent that you can be mindful of what matters, and let go of the rest. You are in a building phase right now, where all you touch can turn to gold. Touch gently, but make actual contact; make sure your handprints are where they belong. The point is, by the time the astrology of 2007 peaks in your birth sign later in the autumn, your mind will once again be on the very large picture and you will not have time to handle the small stuff. You have time now, and using that time well is an investment that will pay you back handsomely.
Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
Be mindful of what you think is possible. Be mindful, at the same time, of what you think is possible for God, Goddess, Nature, or however you conceive of the organizing cosmic principle. Indeed, you may want to probe just what you think that principle is. You seem to have been questioning the influence of your past in the beliefs that you hold today. We were all taught things as children that profoundly influenced what we thought of as possible or impossible; likely or unlikely; subject to the influence of luck; subject to the influence of planning. For that matter, you had some concrete ideas about what was intractable, and for the most part these seem to be ideas about yourself. You are entering an extended phase when the immovable is indeed mutable; when what was non-negotiable is up for discussion; when you will see that the limits you placed on the universe no more shaped the course of nature than a blindfold turns day to night.
Aquarius (January 20-February 19)
Refine your ideas now; mix the 24-track recording down to eight tracks. Find practical application for your highest visions; start by applying a “for instance” to as many concepts as you can. While you’re at it, test your theories, whether in a simulator or in some form of reality. This is the time to begin the vital process of grounding your ideas about life into reality. Take tangible steps, even if they are small. Tangible means you can document your progress; you can make and receive commitments; there is a sense of exchange and development, no matter how small they may seem. You need to create a working model of the world you want, rather than having the whole thing be in your head. It is true that in recent years you have come up against many limitations that have caused you to question whether the world, or anyone for that matter, is ready for you. It’s time to resolve that issue.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Saturn in your opposite sign is a serious transit, but Saturn says keep it light. Let others do all the getting heavy—trust me, they need the exercise in dedication, and Saturn’s presence in your relationship angle is the perfect invitation for those who are devoted to have a strong presence in your life. You have done most of your part; you have been generous with your ideas, your feelings, and your faith in freedom. The factor that seems to be out of control is the timing. When that is the case, all you can do is look at your life, now. But you can also look for tangible signs of dedication. Look at the present, look at history, and look at the trends that the two make when you superimpose them. You are in a phase of your life when awareness goes a long way toward activating the potential of the universe. Keep track of what you have seen to be true and what you have seen to be false, and make a note of when something moves from one column to the other—it’s a sign of progress.
