Horoscopes for October 24th – 30th, 2018
Aries
March 21 – April 20
Dealing with people who don’t have a clue is exasperating enough. On top of all of that you are going toe-to-toe with your own issues, wishing you could just pack it all in and blow this clam bake with your dreams intact. If you had more clarity about, what the next step is supposed to be, you’d be out the door. With too many questions and not enough answers, for once, caution is ruling over impulse and you are sucking up the BS just a little while longer. The good news is, there is life on the other side of all of this, and you will be there to meet it when the time comes.
Taurus
April 21 – May 20
On the cusp of a major transformation all kinds of stuff shows up to rattle our cages. We take it to mean that something is amiss, when if we could wrap our head around it, we would know that this is what happens when a major shift is in the works. As the structure of your life opens up to make room for the next new thing, all kinds of people and things will fall through the cracks. To mourn over what is fading away keeps you from seeing the bigger picture and latching on to the idea that in time, you will look back on this and see that it was the first day of the rest of your life.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
This is a defining moment in your life. To understand what’s going on it would help you to dial back 7, 14, 21, or, if you’re old enough, up to 28-30 years. This is a rerun of an older situation that is designed to see if you’ve learned enough about yourself to get it right this time. Your double-brain has a hard time settling on what the truth is. At a reset point that will either open the space for you to connect with your purpose, or keep you stuck. As you go back and forth between multiple options, be wise enough to listen to your internal guidance and follow your bliss.
Cancer
June 21 – July 20
You’re trying to make up for lost time, or trying to uplift a situation that needs a boost. For some of you this is a simple matter of redirecting your energy and marshalling your inner and outer resources toward things that will be worth it in the long run. I am not worried about you guys, but I am concerned for those of you who, keep chasing windmills and call it “taking care of business.” At this point it matters where you apply your energy. Give that some thought and keep in mind that sometimes making your dreams come true involves getting real about life and yourself.
Leo
July 21 – August 20
The tendency to dramatize your situation, inflates your issues to the point where they overwhelm you. You are not your “story.” Neither are you your feelings or your thoughts, so do your best to keep things in their place and rise above them far enough to take a broader view. Yes, there are levels of intensity. When that is the case, it helps to remember that crisis and intensity show up whenever it’s time for the soul to correct previous mistakes and get back on the path. The truth is, whatever’s going on is less of a problem and more of an opportunity to fix what’s broken and move on.
Virgo
August 21 – September 20
The monkey on your back has been there for a while. If you think it’s going to go away, don’t bet on it. None of us know what “getting our lessons” will involve. Sometimes these things take more than few years to play out. If this rings a bell for some of you, take my advice and learn how to bow to the demands that are keeping your nose to the grindstone. Even if you can’t see it, something new and finer is being honed by your efforts. Finding the light in this situation is where it’s at, so “chop wood, carry water” and stay in close touch with the fact that God lives in all of it.
Libra
September 21 – October 20
Well, who knows how things will go? At the point where they could go either way, it’s best to step aside and allow life to show us what is needed. Too many things impinge upon the desire to see all of your perfect pictures unfold, and what you assume is fated is very much up in the air. Longtime friends and acquaintances have shown up to give you another way to look at things. If you’re fed up with people and their suggestions, I get it, but keep an open mind. Like I said, when things could go either way, don’t let your “stuff” place limits on the realm of possibilities.
Scorpio
October 21 – November 20
At a time when your energy needs to be focused on whatever it takes to heal yourself and deal with your own life, those closest to you are tugging on your apron strings, wanting more from you than you are able to give. With your energy reserves depleted, here you sit, wishing that they would wake up and get the picture; don’t hold your breath. This may be their lesson, but part of it belongs to you. Between the need to take care of yourself and the piece that thinks it needs to coddle others, it comes down to knowing that you can’t be there for them until you take care of yourself.
Sagittarius
November 21 – December 20
The tendency to remain trapped by the idea that you have to keep on trucking in a situation that holds you down, and/or, makes it hard to live with yourself is right in your face. Part of you is of the mind that you can’t walk away from it, while the little voice inside you is dying to trust your heart and get off the boat. All of us were misinformed about what it takes to get our lives to work. Believe it or not joy is the attractive mechanism for everything in the universe. The piece of you that is awake and aware is ready to follow that thread and stay on that course for the rest of your life.
Capricorn
December 21 – January 20
You guys have been sitting here in limbo wondering what it will take to get things rolling, much longer than usual. Certain things are fated, but only up to a point. Much of what does or does not come to pass is a matter of “free will,” and the ways in which our thoughts and our choices keep everything phase-locked in a state of suspension. You have gone through all of the possibilities and brought 100% of yourself to a situation that defies logic. Where to go from here? There is no simple solution to Karmic conditions that could date all the way back to your time in Atlantis!
Aquarius
January 21 – February 20
It’s time to get on the ball. If you’re stuck on whatever the past has left you with, you need to realize that your future will stand on the choices you make now. Yes, I can see why you keep reviewing the “story” that the last couple of years have written, but, try to broaden your view, enough to see that everything has a life span, and one thing leads to another. Even the rough stuff has its place, but if you get caught up in the drama, you miss the boat. All of this has taught you a lot about carving out a new path. Focus your attention on that, and move on to the next thing.
Pisces
February 21 – March 20
You are ready to do things in a big way. How this unfolds will vary from person to person. As you contemplate possibilities that weren’t there a year ago, do your best to keep things as simple as possible. Within the picture that is unfolding, other factors loom and they will serve to distract you from your greater purpose. For someone who knows how to dissolve and become one with whatever the scenery demands of you, at this point you’d do well to figure out how to detach, just enough to rise above multiple influences and remain clear enough to see what you’re dealing with.
