Sagittarius (November 22-December 22)
One of the most difficult lessons to learn is not to take things personally. This difficulty, and it can be considerable, is matched by a comparable reward. Let's start with the first part, the challenge of remembering that what people go through is what they go through and what we experience is something else. The connection is entirely overstated; people bring the whole unfinished business of the past into even the most casual encounters with others. While it's true that relationships imply a shared experience, typically unless the most stringent precautions are taken (and this is exceedingly boring), the boundary between one person and the other can become so blurred that many practical points of discernment disappear. This experience is complicated by guilt and obligation, two subjects that are high on your agenda for what to rebel against in life. However, when people care about one another, it's not so simple. One of the best ways to start the process is to practice the yoga of awareness that people are responsible both for their perceptions, and for how they interpret them. This includes being responsible for how they perceive you. By all means, act ethically, but drive your own car.

Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
Nobody likes to change under pressure, but how often do we change any other way? I would say, either not very often, or extremely slowly. For as messed up as the human race can be and appears to be, one of our great enduring strengths is the ability to adapt to necessity. This strength is so strong, in fact, that it seems to overshadow our awareness that we need to cultivate foresight and the ability to vision a better life rather than spend all our time adapting to adversity and very little creating conditions that would be favorable to everyone. This works similarly on the most personal levels. We tend to go along until something compels us to stop and take a look at what needs attention, and often only because we're in pain. Bear this in mind as the pressure to grow and restructure your life relaxes its push on your environment. Indeed, it has not disappeared but rather shifted its emphasis from your outer world to your interior world. The strange feeling you feel is the continued awakening of your own soul; the pull deep within yourself where you may struggle to hold your awareness steady. You can do it, and now would be a convenient time.

Aquarius (January 20-February 19)

By now you have noticed the presence of someone who wants to be closer to you. From the look of your solar chart, it seems you're having some issues trusting this person, or trusting your motives for desiring them. You can't necessarily see their motives for what they are, and you may not be sure if they aren't a kind of dinosaur come back to life: that is, the representative of an old idea of what relationships are supposed to be but could never quite live up to. Or is this someone totally new and fresh on the radar? The encounter appears to be potent and it's arriving at a time when many of your own sexual curiosities are burning through your consciousness like lasers illuminating the secret side of your desires. It is true, if you get more deeply involved, you may create karma, so make your choices conscious. You will also take yourself a long way toward awareness of who and what you are becoming. You may be questioning your integrity; you may be questioning whether you are really stable or whole enough to engage others at such an intense level. Remember that questions can only be satisfied by knowledge, not by answers. Answers tend to be theoretical, and knowledge tends to be the product of experience.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

The odd mix of emotions and sentiments you experience in the coming few weeks and are likely swimming in today will lead you to question the basis of everything you think and feel. Pisces is known for its lingering insecurities, which are related to the fact that you of all people know that existence is like a city built on a cloud. Therefore, walk lightly. Keep turning the issues and themes over in your mind and moreover in your heart until you know you see it from all sides at once. I suggest that you let no thought pass through your awareness without considering that its seeming opposite may be true. Your continued happiness is asking that you take nothing for granted and that you allow the waterwheels of emotion to turn and power the lights of your mind. By all means, express gratitude, but allow the simple fact of uncertainty to have its place and its voice. The things you want the most may never work out; they may work out beyond your expectations. Allow the potential that the people you want and need may never come to you; then feel the profound freedom in this recognition and the ability to welcome love. Try walking through the world knowing that none of what you witness may have anything at all to do with you, and then notice, from that point of infinite inner focus, what comes your way.
