It may seem like evil forces are working against you this week. We
think the best way for you to handle this sinister-seeming energy is
to not resist change and to dare to communicate honestly with people
you love, even when you're scared of what such conversations could bring.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Something smells a little stressful this week, Taurus. We admire how
open you are to moving through the bullshit, but we do want to let you
know you'll be wading through painful experiences in the process. Don't
take the pain as a sign you're doing the wrong thing; it's just the
opposite.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
OK, Gemini, the absolute best way for you to continue your project
of becoming the most superduper new-and-improved you is to step away
from the intellectual analysis of absolutely everything and rely more
heavily on faith and intuition. At least until Mercury gets the hell
out of retrograde; the spazzy planet's confusing backpedaling doesn't
help this week.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
We're guessing you'd like to develop something for yourself that's
really sustainable, something that can go the distance, with real lasting
power. The key to your success is allowing yourself to feel your emotions,
but don't allow them to cloud your ability to make a quick and firm
decision.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Whoa, is 2003 ending with a bang for the Leo tribe or what? We think
it best you lions take a brief retreat from the pandemonium, even if
it's just an afternoon slacking off in a community garden, sitting and
thinking about what brought you here and what is bound to change with
the coming year.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Hooray, Virgo, you get a cosmic coffee break, a psychic time-out. The
energy in your sphere is all about supporting you and moving you toward
what you wish to be investing yourself in. Take advantage of coincidence
and synchronicity and don't be afraid to advance forcefully. It's a
great way to achieve some much deserved security.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
God, it's like watching paint dry, observing the slow pace of developments
with other people right now. We don't blame you for going stir-crazy
with impatience, but we do want to remind you that it sure as hell isn't
going to help. Instead, experiment with being present without being
codependent.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
We don't think you have any control over the difficult happenings in
your life right now, and we bet that's pretty rough for a control freak
like yourself. Try focusing your intention on what you truly want for
yourself. Then you can proceed with making some room in your life for
it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
It's one of those shit-or-get-off-the-pot moments, Sag. And we hear
you frantically screaming, "I'm off the pot, I'm off the pot!"
but it looks like your ass is still on the seat. Frustration is paralyzing
this week, but let the stress motivate you to seek out some loving answers
to the questions that plague you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Dearest Capricorn, we order you to stop standing amid the greenery,
agonizing over whether it's a genuine forest or merely a collection
of trees. Instead of focusing so much vibrant energy on rather useless
details, why not take a shot at being more flexible and recognize the
blurriness of most categories.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You're like that intense little choo-choo train this week, Aquarius,
the one who shouldn't have been able to but ultimately did. Your mantra
is that breathless huffing-and-puffing "I think I can" chant.
Your slow and steady pace will pull you out ahead; just don't get beaten
down by any bad attitudes.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Carry Band-Aids in your backpack this week, Pisces, 'cause life is
extra thorny. It'll help you to be really open to the healing process:
don't hold on to bad feelings. Any gashes you sustain early to midweek
should be nicely scabbed over by the week's end, if you resist the urge
to pick at them.
