Horoscope
June 26-July 2, 2008
Heavenly Round-Up: You’ve been preparing for a while now. You’ve assessed the terrain. You’ve marked a probable course. You’ve gathered the needed supplies. Have you got ground support? Are your maps and charts ready? Training is not the same as going live. Once you’ve begun, it won’t be so easy to back away from this undertaking. Remember to bring your best good-luck charm. If you don’t have one, this would be a good time to acquire one. Send for Capricorn.
Aries: You’re not afraid of the dark. You’ve given up on most of your phobias. So what is it that you think might be under the bed–or was that in the closet? Get rid of your worries by facing them head on and naming them outright. Your fallback position is a surprise to you too
Taurus: If you listen carefully, you can almost believe you didn’t try your hardest, or that you didn’t do the work of several with the will of one. If you’re going to be less than attentive, you may deserve to have this defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. This one is yours.
Gemini: It wasn’t this size or shape when it got started. And at first, you had no idea this would be the direction in which you found yourself traveling. But now that you’re on the way, and now that you’ve recognized the objective, it will be hard to stop you before you’re done.
Cancer: You dragged your feet. You hemmed and hawed. You begged for five more minutes (and got them). But now it’s time to get down to brass tacks and finish up what you started so blithely. You’re ready, capable and soon you’ll even be willing. Ask a Pisces to inspire you.
Leo: You’re bigger, badder and in more of a quandary than ever. It would be cute, but you made so much noise over it that you don’t have any way to back out. Not that you would. You’re so committed to moving this forward. Don’t forget to delegate before Wednesday.
Virgo: It’s not easy, but you’re going to have to divide your attention and do more than one important thing at once. It’s not easy, but you’re going to have to make plans based on very little, and you’re in a time crunch to do it. Supplement with adaptogens and extra B vitamins.
Libra: You’re full of wild ideas, but they aren’t new. Did you forget you used to be a wild-eyed radical back in the day? All this wildness may deepen the perceptual palette of your day-to-day life. Wasn’t this the pick me up you were wanting just a week or two ago? Ask Aquarius.

Scorpio: Presence of mind may be of some assistance. But more than that, you have to have a direction and the will to enforce that trajectory. You’re good enough to go the distance, even if you have space to allow compassion to distract you, it may only build the finish up.
Sagittarius: You know what you want. You know how to get it. You aren’t sure that you have the follow-through to go all the way. If you stand dithering, you won’t get what you want, and you won’t want what you get. You’re going to have to break down and commit, wholly.
Capricorn: It’s the point of view as much as it is anything else. You may have to educate yourself about how others might see what’s happening. You may have to educate others to help clear away the confusion. As you become an expert along the way, raise your rates.
Aquarius: It’s not the end of the world as you know it. It’s the end of the world as you’ve been accustomed to perceiving it. Let go of the artificial filters. Drop the posturing. It’s time to jump in and get your hands dirty. You’ll be surprised at the effectiveness of action. Watch.
Pisces: You were going along quite smoothly. Now you’re redirected and in a most unusual way. Out of left field barely describes where this latest impetus originated. Since the universe is stranger than you can suppose, let go an enjoy the full panoply and wonder of the all.

Horoscope
June 19-25, 2008
Heavenly Round-Up: Not only will you survive, you will achieve and leave a unique footprint. But first you have to get through the day-to-day catastrophes and running as hard as you can to stay in one place. Whether you do so with grace or by the skin of your teeth is largely up to you. Take advice where you can get it, weigh it judiciously, then keep what works and let the rest go. Move forward with confidence–an unusual direction might be all to the good.
Aries: This is an ending of the sort that clears the way for new beginnings. There’s a harvest of ideas and philosophies and theories you’ve outgrown, but still need to keep in storage. Enjoin yourself to a new form of art. Require transformation of yourself at the molecular level.
Taurus: You’re not in a hurry by all accounts. But there are an ungodly number of things desperately requiring your immediate personal attention. Don’t rush through making a list. Early triage will solve most of the crunch early. Give yourself a treat Saturday afternoon.
Gemini: With a larger vision, all things are possible. This is only true if you can avoid the distractions inherent in all the myriad details crowded into the big picture. Get organized or get an organizer. Either way, it’s past time to thin down the herd. Find your inner Darwin.
Cancer: While the home front is always with you, ”things are more like they are now than they’ve ever been” (thanx Ron Reagan), in a big way. Can you love what you love enough to love it all the time? These ambiguities require all of your utmost ingenuity and application.
Leo: You could be so carried away. And it would be fun. And it’s been awhile since you really let your hair down and had this good a time. But. There’s still all the stuff you’ve committed to. And all the people counting on you to be who you are when you say you will. Remember?
Virgo: It’s not as sticky a problem as it was the last time you looked at it. Now add the right technology support and you’ll find that you can crank it out with hardly any damage at all to the deadline. Domesticity may be outlet for unprocessed emotional garbage. Keep cleaning!
Libra: Respect is one thing. There are ethics beyond even that which you believe are in play. Is it really complicated, or do you prefer the challenging layers of obligations and morals and contexts? Learn more about Feng Shui to sort out the chaos under your roof. Work with blue.

Scorpio: You’re pert, perky and ready to call it a day anyway. If your focus is diffuse, work on another project until your vision is refreshed. Your sneaking suspicions can be fulfilled if you just investigate deeply enough, right? Watch what it is you pray for, you might get it.
Sagittarius: This isn’t how you’d thought it would be, when you thought it out so carefully. You’re too far into the process to back out of it gracefully. You just have to go on and mend on the path, step by step. The going is slow now, so that it might be smooth down the way.
Capricorn: Is life slightly out of joint? Do pieces of the present fit only jaggedly against the past and the possible future? You can work like this, but you’ll be more comfortable if you take the time to smooth down the rough edges through examination and reflection. Try.
Aquarius: Pensive is as pensive does. You might just be sulking if you haven’t actually said anything in a day or two. Give yourself permission to unbend and to hear the other side without prejudice. Give yourself permission to take a more humanitarian approach next time.
Pisces: Timing is everything. You can do less and get farther with that one simple maxim. You can have more and enjoy it more with nearly all your resources intact if you only will put some planning into your spending. Practice what you preach and you will lead by example.

Horoscope
June 12-18, 2008
Heavenly Round-Up: The world is like an oyster: hard to get into but beguilingly enfolding once you’re there. The world is like a cell phone with perfect reception — but shouldn’t some things go unsaid? The world is like an enormous street fair with something for everyone, and way too much of everything altogether. Revel in the excess. Roll in the private juiciness of the times. Stay basic, suffering babbling fools and compulsive networkers as gladly as you can. You’ll either learn something or meet somebody. Or both.
Aries: Where’s your pride? Where’s your sense of self-worth? You have more choices than you can admit to yourself. You have more options than the trading floor in Chicago. You have a million possible exits and only one you. Stay for any reason, but know you don’t have to.
Taurus: Yes, lots of little unexpected things keep draining off your energy, diverting you from your purpose and generally nitpicking you into a corner. Can you get a temporary assist? Can you call in the cavalry to John Wayne you through this rough patch? Send up a flare.
Gemini: You could go crazy from the over-stimulation, and you couldn’t be more delighted by the prospect. There’s so much to do, and see, and gossip about! Be careful who you share with — not everyone hears such information innocently. Count your chickens post-nativity.
Cancer: You’re all wound up, and you can’t calm down. Oooo-kay. But you really owe it to yourself to take a deep breath and count your blessings. When you’re done there, you might try another deep breath, and another. Fine. Now start planning for your shinier tomorrow.
Leo: It would be more fun if you didn’t feel that frisson of guilt — every, single time. Or would it? Maybe you need to reframe your point of view in order to get the most out of what’s going on. It could be mere habit of perception that’s holding you back now. Go with the flow Friday.
Virgo: Neither destiny nor any other determiner can hold you back. You’re doing your part. You’re meeting your obligations. You’re staying on your scheduled track. It’s the rest of the world that’s ”gang agley.” Would it not behoove you to take steps to adjust for reality? Try.
Libra: Count yourself amongst the enlightened, but don’t let it go to your head. Most people are in the running for the next evolutionary step up most of the time. Now that you’re placed with the elect, you could get on with making the world better for all and sundry. It’s fun!

Scorpio: Let it go. Talk it out. Share more than you like to all over the place. Your network could save your soul. Trust everyone like they’re your therapist. If the world doesn’t have your best interests at heart, it won’t matter much either way. Because it’s not out to get you.
Sagittarius: You fall for it every time, and you’re chagrined every time. It’s not preventable; it’s part of your undeniable charm. Don’t expect your pride to stay intact. Don’t expect others to sympathize with your loss of dignity. Enjoy an opportunity to clown around on Saturday.
Capricorn: It’s not quite an actual transubstantiation, but it’s nearly as good as. You’ll find your deepest need is met by a means so unexpected that it might be thought of as your own, personal miracle. Improve your shot at fulfillment and pave the way with happy thoughts.
Aquarius: Demands at work absorb you now more than ever. Desire to get out and enjoy some of the seasonal amenities acts as a powerful distraction. Is there any possible compromise? Is there any solution that allows both sides of your life to function adequately?
Pisces: You’ve seen it all before, and it’s made you jaded. But now you have a chance to show someone else the ropes. Since it’s fresh for them, you might participate in their wonder and vicariously delight in their perfervid engagement. Let down your guard and your hair.

Horoscope
June 5-11, 2008
Heavenly Round-Up: Emerging into the light like a butterfly struggling out of a chrysalis may take more out of you than you would expect. The safety of your former constrictions tempts you, but not enough to send you back underground. Continue working towards your most concrete set of goals. Keep in mind that these may undergo a change once you turn your attention to them. The observer affects the observed now more than ever. Position yourself to take maximum benefit of those options still available to you.
Aries: If it’s summer, why does it feel like the winter of your discontent? If this is victory, why does it feel like you don’t have the chops to throw a triumph? If this is the finish, why do you feel like you have so much farther to go? Don’t give up, give in or give out too easily.
Taurus: You may if you wish. You could if you were determined. So what are you waiting for? If you hold out any longer, will it be to your advantage? You may not control the timing on this little foray, but you know who does and what makes them tick. Use the knowledge wisely.
Gemini: You can’t help yourself. It’s fun and easy to yank the tails of the other animals and then scamper away out of reach. Do you need more attention from your loved ones? Do you need something productive to do with all this newfound free time? Collect your thoughts.
Cancer: Determination helps. Determinism doesn’t. You’d do well to reconsider your current emotional conditions. So that you can rebalance your commitments, of course. Every factor plays a part in this. Stay fluid despite the temptation to calcify into a comfortable position.
Leo: Destiny and desire cross swords high on the walls of the castle that is your soul. You’ve been moving in the one direction for such a long time that you can’t remember what it’s like to do anything else. Halt your migration. Plant a flag. Declare yourself imbued with success.
Virgo: Why don’t you try harder? Aren’t there still one or two hours of the week not owned by some external responsibility you’ve assumed? Could you sleep any less? Okay. What about not going there and playing that? Isn’t it your turn to relax and unwind and find a place of calm?
Libra: You’ve got a trajectory, a system, more than an actual plan. It has built in optional alternatives and contingencies. And yet, this might still be more than you can stand to have on your shoulders just now. Allow yourself to remember your dreams. The answer is there.

CAPRICORN AQUARIUS PISCES ARIES TAURUS GEMINI |
CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS |
Scorpio: You know there’s a cloud out there to go with your nice, shiny silver lining. You’re convinced that your joys and victories may only be tasted mixed with the bitter and the sour. You might be right. But you get to choose which part of the experience colors the whole.
Sagittarius: You can make the walls as high as you like, but you can’t really protect yourself from the upheaval that’s already more than on the way. Make up your mind and decide in your heart that you have the ability to compass a material change in your core assumptions.
Capricorn: You could call it a victory. You could call it the end against which all your means were justified. You could call it your greatest oeuvre. But it’s over. You’ve finished. There’s a point at which a goal may only be termed complete. What other impossible thing will you do?
Aquarius: You don’t get it because you don’t want to get it. Some jokes defy explanation. Some kinds of serendipity just trash the bell curve of probability. Is it luckier, unluckier or just unlikelier that your life is getting? You won’t be certain any time soon. Ride the next wave in.
Pisces: You don’t mind swaying forward and back like seaweed in a tidal basin. You’re easy with seeing what comes next and appreciating it on its own terms. You’re in a state of grace, or muzzy-headedness anyway, that allows you to accept all with equanimity and curiosity.
