It's Christmas Eve 2013, and this week's Horoscopes are coming out under the light of a waning, Virgo Moon. I find it interesting that the sign of the Virgin is holding space for all of the tiny, incremental changes that take place during the next 24 hours. I would love to make a case for the idea that this says something about the expansion of the Female Light, but what do I know? Instead of trying to explain life away, on this night that we have chosen to celebrate the birth of the Christ it might be better to hold the Light of the World in our hearts and remember that his Spirit is alive and well inside each one of us. Merry Christmas everyone; I hope you enjoy this week's 'scopes
ARIES: March 21 – April 20
The drive to do life on a high run makes it hard to stick around long enough to get the picture. Being too quick to judge what's going on, you often miss the point. And what's happening right now has you turning a corner that would otherwise send you right over the edge. There are times when going around the bend has its good points. Don't be shy about changing your mind, your aim, or your whole point of view. While you're at it, be sure to let others know that this is your stuff; if they're not here to help would they please lay low while you're changing the scenery!
TAURUS: April 21 – May 20
For now, caught between holding steady and conflicting needs to get on with your life, you are too torn to see anything clearly. That's OK; in situations like this, not knowing what to do is a good sign that you're on the right track. With what's coming up on the road ahead it's important that you be grounded as Hell before you take it on. A dose of realism would help. You of all people know what that's about. At the moment your down-to-earth-ness is matched with a deep sense of what it will to take to make your heart sing. Know that others hope this includes them.
GEMINI: May 21 – June 20
You and your story have gotten so complicated, a month or two on a desert island wouldn't be enough to unravel it. There's no way you can stop long enough to see what's going on here, and no chance that you will have a beam on it for at least 5 years. That being said, maybe all we get to talk about is what's next on your list. New projects and ideas may seem like a huge distraction. The truth is, these side issues have popped up to bring you back to center. Don't let anyone tell you to stay focused. The key to half of what's on your plate is hiding alongside the next detour.
CANCER: June 21 – July 20
This has turned out to be such a trip. Little did you know how much you were worth! It looks to me like others have finally stepped up. Beyond all of that, for now, having the world by the balls has everything to do with being good at taking the good with the bad. What goes on in between is the territory in which you get to find yourself. In moments where you become aware of the high cost of going to extremes it will be your job to take the high road. Flare ups? Expect a few; projection plays a role in everything we do. Others are bound to do your flipping out for you.
LEO: July 21 – August 20
The stress of ordinary life would be easier to digest if you could see it as a metaphor and let the romance in your soul cast this experience in a different light. I could be wrong but you're getting all wound up about things that require a lighter touch, and a need to get over yourself. Detachment isn't your strong suit, but you will be better off if you put some distance between you and the people and things that have made you wonder what you're here for; just long enough to recenter yourself and get back to the place in you that knows you are the King of the Jungle!
VIRGO: August 21 – September 20
Letting go of the need to cover your ass has taught you so much about what happens when we trust life to watch over us, one more time. No one could have told you how this would go. The way it looks from this angle is you stepped out of your comfort zone and discovered that all the best stuff happens when you're not in it! Now that you're here, the question of what to next becomes an issue; until you remember that this is about letting go. The more you open up and take your hands off the wheel the more you will see that life has your best interests in mind.
LIBRA: September 21 – October 20
You are just beginning to wake up. What has been at issue up until now has turned out to be good or bad depending on whether or not you understand that all of this is playing out for your benefit. Others are here for it, or not, and that has become a side issue. What we expect from anyone inevitably becomes something that we have to get from ourselves. Don't think too hard about how to get the response you're looking for. In the end you can only be yourself, and hope that it opens the space for others to get real enough to see who you are and respond accordingly.
SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20
The things that draw you to connect don't always steer you in the right direction. If you been through a thing or two, whatever it has cost you to run the gauntlet has opened your heart to things that you never would have seen if you'd taken a different route. Life is in the middle of a turn around that requires more from you than you've had to put out in the last 27 years, and/or since the day you were born. Keep yourself centered in a place that allows you plenty of room to breathe and don't waste your time or your breath on people who are too self involved to get real.
SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20
You've got too much going on to let your insecurities ruin a good time. All kinds of stuff is in the wind. Those of you who get the feeling that you've touched the pulse of something out of this world are not that far off. Having enough discernment to make the most of it is the key. This is no time to make money the most important thing. Neither is it time to expect more from anyone than they're able to give. Mixed feelings assail the need to open the floodgates, and your heart, to the next thing. Don't let that interfere with the greater need to wake up and be here for this.
CAPRICORN: December 21 - January 20
You have it all. In so many ways, no matter how it looks, and even if you're a "Legend in your own mind", you've got more power than the rest of us. The part of you that knows this is less aware of how to wield it. And what happens on the back end is what's at issue right now. All kinds of people want a chunk of your time, or your ass. Pardon my French but, too much is on the line. If you lose yourself to the agendas and manipulations of others your best efforts won't be enough to save what could very well turn out to be the most important thing you ever do.
AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20
You don't have to prove yourself to anyone; give me a break! Don't worry about whether or not they're pleased with you and your performance. At this point it comes down to standing in your truth and letting everyone else figure out how to get in touch with theirs. The need to be 100% honest will most likely heat up your discussions. Whoever's on the other end will give you a run for your money. If they match you in intelligence, don't let anyone trick you into thinking that you need to bow down, or adjust your needs, or apologize for your responses, to anything.
PISCES: February 21 – March 20
This will work, or it won't, depending on whether or not your motives are clear. It's one thing to think you want to heal yourself and quite another to actually do it. Those of you who are here for the love of it have nothing to fear. Those of you who are here for the beer need to get in touch with what it gets us to live as if the heart doesn't fit into the scheme of things. A secondary issue, one that looks like self-delusion, is an ever present threat. Holding steady means loving yourself and others enough to get real and be here for things that will require tons of inner strength. |
