This week's horoscopes are coming out under an "Old" Capricorn Moon. Whenever we get to this point in the lunar cycle, life calls us to wind down. It's time to shift into neutral and clear the decks in preparation for the influx of fresh energies that are due to arrive once the "New" Moon rolls into Aquarius on Friday. Between now and then, keep your magic to yourself and don't make the mistake of trying to get anything new off the ground. When the Moon's in her "Old" phase, she's totally pooped and in no mood to initiate anything. It makes no sense to defy nature's rhythms - especially now. With the Imbolc celebrations getting ready to kick into high gear, stock up on candles, lay low, and save all of your serious conjuring for the weekend. The upcoming New Moon on the Mid-Winter Cross Quarter is bound to come with enough sauce to blow new life into all of your highest visions. Enjoy this week's 'scopes!
Horoscopes
ARIES: March 21 – April 20
You can't account for the way things are going because there's no logic here. Never fear. There is no need for certainty. With the influences that are hitting you now, the best you can do is remain open to the anarchy that seems to be running through every facet of your life. Things are being shaken and stirred because it's time. Those of you who decide to resist whatever it is that is calling you to change, will have more trouble than those of you who use what you know to improve your situation. At this point honesty is the key. Thank God it is your strong suit.
TAURUS: April 21 – May 20
The temptation to fall back into bad habits is always your choice. No matter how it looks, you happen to be in charge. With so much riding on having things go right, you'd be nuts to give it up for whatever your ego is tempting you with. Look at how much of who you are has gone into this and ask yourself, at the end of the day, what kind of impression do you want to leave on this world? On other fronts, the ones you love have enough on their hands. Be conscious of the fact that life is making it hard for them to drop everything just to be there when you need them.
GEMINI: May 21 – June 20
The way things go with you, one hand never knows what the other hand is doing. This makes it very hard to be straight with people. Issues that relate to your selective memory come into play more than they need to. Things get complicated because that's the way it goes when life is split in two. The idea that your agendas get in the way of whatever it takes to get things to flow is a big deal right now. What you want is one thing; what needs to happen could be quite another. You'd do well to back off and pay attention to what is needed instead of what's going to work for you.
CANCER: June 21 – July 20
There's only so much a person can take, and only so much you can do before things start begging you to turn them around. Whatever has gotten to be too much has a lot to do with the way things go when people get out of control. Love does not mean 'putting up with anything'. Once you figure out exactly what needs to happen it won't be long before you realize that you can't push the river, and you didn't come here to save the day. At moments like this the Soul has get fluid enough to dissolve itself. If you can figure that one out, you will be able to get around anything.
LEO: July 21 – August 20
You didn't come here to lead a simple or trivial life. The idea that you need to tow the line, or that someone like you ought to be (Fill in the blanks) by now, competes with the thought that things don't seem to be pointing in that direction. Issues that have led you to believe that it's best to stick to some sort of plan no longer apply. If there's no map to this territory it's because you're learning how to feel your way in the dark. No one's advice is big, or objective enough to guide you through an experience that requires only love and, and a deep connection to your higher self.
VIRGO: August 21 – September 20
The last few weeks have seen you move through a gauntlet of 'stuff' and out the other side. What you learned on your way through the ringer has enlightened the part of your being that can get through anything on its own. If the end result has turned into something remarkable it's because you finally figured out that blame obscures the Truth. When it all comes down to little old you, that's when you begin to see, and know, and sense what is needed to set yourself free. Keep the light on, and keep this in mind: the universe is, was, and always has been, supporting you.
LIBRA: September 21 – October 20
You've done everything you can. What people decide to do about it is up to them. The next thing on your list looks a lot more enticing than some of the stuff you've had to digest in the last year or two. Making adjustments to people and things will definitely be part of this, but you're better at that than the rest of us. As others make it clear to themselves what it is that they want from you, and from the situation at hand, it'll be easier for you to figure out where you stand. Stay cool; tons of excitement, and good luck are sending out smoke signals with your name on it.
SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20
All kinds of new stuff is coming up for you. How it goes depends on you. The need to take care of your physical issues has to be part of this; because everything is connected. Changes that have been a long time coming require every aspect of your reality to come up to speed. How things look sees many of you towing the line and losing yourself in your work in a healthy way. Others are struggling with conditions that disallow any freedom of movement on multiple levels. There's no trick to making things better or worse. Like I said; how things go depends on you.
SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20
Your differences with others get magnified every time you try to be right. The idea that anyone needs to be 100% in alignment with your entire world view is insane. All the goodness that could see you hitting the jack pot will get wasted if you don't stop ragging on people and deal with yourself. Deep down inside you are the sweetest person on the planet. Making a point of too many things is a defense that stopped working for you a long time ago. Getting real about yourself in your current situation will require you to stop stomping, and screaming on principle.
CAPRICORN: December 21 - January 20
Don't be surprised if others aren't exactly receptive to your plans. Too much rides on the idea that it takes two-to-tango for me to know who to stick up for in this situation. What I see about you is you have aligned yourself with people who can't be trusted, either because they are deceitful, or because they are immature. It's not your style to be this clueless. A thorough examination of what it is about so-and-so that makes them so mistake proof should be high on your list. Open your eyes if you dare. Find someone who knows you well and beg them to tell it to you like it is.
AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20
The unsure-ness of things seems to be an issue. Between that and things that make it hard to breathe, you're doing your best to keep it real. Don't make the mistake of attaching too many judgments to your situation. Things get to be the way they are for our own benefit. Even when it doesn't look that way, everything that happens is designed expressly for us. Open your mind to the thought that your stuck-ness might have to do with the idea that it works for you to keep making things 'hard' when it would be a total piece of cake to change it from the inside out.
PISCES: February 21 – March 20So much of what's going on comes down to shedding your skin. Another way to see it would be to say that your essence is dissolving - and what's happening in the meantime is giving you pause to wonder if it's safe to continue. Multiple issues, along with stuff that it's taken years for you to unravel, combine to show you that it's time to redefine yourself and give yourself permission to be who you are now. Anyone who expects you to keep fitting their mold will have to take you as you are, or have to reckon with the fact that you've lost the need to be the answer to their prayers.
