Midweek Stars
GOOD MORNING, Mistakes are made everyday and we are hard on ourselves, and we make it worse by our self doubt. If you think that a person is so great that they will counter balance all the negativity in our lives - that being with them, is the penultimate road to self discovery, then you're wrong. I'm much more interested in making sure that you are in more control of your life right now than I am concerned about whether or not they are thinking about you or if they waited a day to call or text you. To be honest with you, if you are in love you are settling. Sometimes the Universe doesn't want you to settle because there is either something better or It is making sure that you appreciate your gift of being able to be alive right now on earth. If I were God, I'd be like my kid is messed...shaking my head with all the hurt we create in our minds. Focus on being a better you, improve yourself, and if you think I'm saying that you are not good enough, you're wrong again. The only thing I don't understand is why doubt is such a pervasive and ubiquitous thing in our everyday lives. I guess I wouldn't have a job without it. Enjoy this weeks Midweek Stars, you weirdo :) ARIES: March 21 – April 20
You have a hard time keeping a lid on it. As much as you understand that you can't go around saying and doing anything you please, this is one of those times when you wish you could. It's true that all of this would get on anyone's nerves. Believe it or not it's teaching you a lot about what works and what doesn't. More of the same kind of erratic energy will keep requiring you to look at why you need it. Instead of wondering how much longer you'll have to sit around waiting for things to shift, get off your ass and get in touch with what it's gonna take to make this work.
TAURUS: April 21 – May 20
You feel like you're copping out. Did it ever occur to you that any time we refuse to follow our bliss we are copping out? It's great that you feel so overly responsible for everyone but yourself - but there are larger forces at work and your desire to fly the coop isn't necessarily a sign that you're leaving everyone high and dry. Getting real about what you're here for is on top of the stack. Anyone who has a problem with it is merely a projection of your fears of breaking out. What happens next will have a lot to do with any effort you make to travel, study, or teach.
GEMINI: May 21 – June 20
You can't let people take over your life. Things have gotten to the point where you're too wound up to see this for what it is. Don't drive yourself into the ground. Choose your battles and let everyone get used to the fact that it isn't your job to make everything OK. With plenty of your own 'stuff' to contend with it's enough to remain cheerful these days. Those of you who manage your feelings by keeping busy are probably performing one miracle after another. If others never cease to be amazed by your productivity, little do they know that it's how you stay sane.
CANCER: June 21 – July 20
A little distance will do wonders for your attitude. You've been tied to your situation for one reason or another and you've lost sight of what's important. At times like this it's good to change the routine just enough to see who you are when it isn't the same old thing. Others and their needs and considerations press a little too heavily on yours. Don't expect them to all of a sudden wake up and see the extent to which they impose, or fool yourself into thinking that if you just keep being nice they'll stop using up your patience and time. It's your turn to draw the line.
LEO: July 21 – August 20
You have so much going for you. With all this good stuff going on it's interesting that you are so hesitant, or otherwise reserved when it comes to feeling sure about it. Thinking too much about what others are doing with you, or for you, lies at the root of this issue. Keep your attention focused where it belongs instead of watching them like a hawk. You will go nuts if you keep expecting anyone to be your dream come true. Finding yourself within the framework of other people's lives calls you to give everyone space to be who they are, and being 100% OK with it.
VIRGO: August 21 – September 20
In the midst of an identity crisis there's nothing much to do but shed your skin and see who pops out to replace you. Deep questions that relate to who you are and what you're here for have been thumping in the background. If this is the main theme, the ordinary stuff and the daily grind has been busy enough to keep you thinking that the same old you is still operative. Those who know you better than anyone have no clue what this experience is like for you. The next phase of this transformation is bound to include the realization that it's time to take off for parts unknown.
LIBRA: September 21 – October 20
Sometimes life is just a matter of holding steady. Nothing major needs to happen at the moment. Those of you who are content towing the line are probably more productive than you've been in a long time. When things are this consistent we often get to feeling like we've finally figured something out - but change is always the operative word and this grace period is just about up. Those who have let you down are about to come around to give you another chance to see what they're made of. Most likely nothing has changed; do your best to put up with them and their BS.
SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20
The way things are going you've come to the point where it almost doesn't matter how things turn out. The pressure of expectation, and the need to have all of your bases covered will feel like it's over the top until you let go of the need to have it all under control. Others have their own issues to contend with. Don't be too quick to get upset with anyone who knows what you're up against and is honest enough to tell you that they can't be there for it; not now anyway. Coming to terms with things will be easier if you are cool about it and stop taking yourself so seriously.
SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20
The next time you decide to go out on a limb make sure you test things out. You are all over the place trying to figure out how to pull all of this together. So much stuff is on top of the stack you can't figure out why equal amounts of it are falling through the cracks. When will you ever learn to be satisfied with a little bit less than everything? As this story plays out the deeper issues are getting buried underneath it. Those of you who are good at dealing with the truth are beginning to see that you need to stop the madness and return to something that looks more like real life.
CAPRICORN: December 21 - January 20
Before you make any final judgments check all of this out for yourself. What other people have to say about it is laced with too much prejudice. In some cases, people have an agenda that should make you question everything they say. In the midst of a shift that feels, at times, like it might get the best of you, you need to be a lot more attentive to the ways in which, even you can be manipulated. So much of what needs to happen right now has to do with surrounding yourself with people you can trust. Pay close attention and don't let anyone pull the wool over your eyes.
AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20
You have come to terms with your share of heartache. Those who accuse you of being too detached don't understand enough about life to see that your survival has depended upon your ability to remain above it all. For the last few months you've been thinking a lot about how it really feels to be the one to do this. For once in your life the things you could never say, or give yourself the right to feel, need to be felt and said. Now may not be the time, but sooner or later this backlog of energy will find expression and release you from the need to keep it to yourself.
PISCES: February 21 – March 20
Holding the whole show together has turned out to be too much. It's hard to say why you feel like so much more is expected of you. Your current situation got out of hand when you let your sense of guilt or obligation overrule the idea that you deserve to have a life. Others will continue to take. You will continue to give. The scales will be tipped the minute you begin to understand that the greater part of your being needs a venue that will allow you to flourish without having anything you do require you to sell out, martyr yourself, or be a beast of burden for anyone.
