Horoscope
January 29-February 4, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: So everything isn’t going exactly as planned — and it was a good enough plan, too. But the universe requires us to think outside our self-constructed boxes and fit ourselves to the ever-evolving situation called reality. It’s not personal, you’re not being singled out; this isn’t about any one specific thing. Can you further adjust to discover your infinitely resourceful inner MacGyver? Are you ready to solve the world’s problems with nothing more than a ballpoint pen and a box of baking soda?
Aries: That pressure will cause you to exude your best self, drop by drop, in a forced distillation of the soul. Don’t worry about how it all ran off the tracks and well away from the blueprint. You’re better off-road, when you only have to depend on yourself.
Taurus: You know what you wanted to see come true. You have the tech support essential to the operation. You understand the basis of the issue. Can you also move your expectations to match the permutations which arise as reality meets the road? Think hard Saturday.
Gemini: It isn’t the beginning of the end in a greater sense. It’s the beginning of a new phase. You’re open to the possibilities, but they require more focus, more application and more readiness to pursue the elusive object of desire than what you’re used to applying.
Cancer: Was it something you said? It might have been, but you weren’t responsible for the info, or what others made of it. Innocence may take you so far, but it won’t take you further. Give yourself the luxury of a quiet moment on Friday. Call a crony to recap.
Leo: You were ready to go with the flow when the current changed its course. You were ready to let the chips fall where they may when gravity rescinded its primacy. You were ready to call ’em like you see ’em when you were blinded by circumstances. Reboot carefully.
Virgo: Will you sit in the corner pouting until you get your way? It’s not like you to take it so personally. You understand that the size of the universe precludes calling every little thing a direct attack. Let your common sense out of its box. It’s time to start over.
Libra: Domesticity draws you like a magnet. You’d rather be cozy at home than anywhere else doing anything else. What a pity. You’ve been called to serve the larger good. You can see what the issue is and what it may become with proper attention and cooperation.

Scorpio: Once you were invulnerable. Now you’re taking baby steps. Once you were limitless. Now you’re verging on the agoraphobic. Once you were stellar. Now you hope to be adequate. This is the right time to reassess your direction and potential. Keep trying.
Sagittarius: It wasn’t your fault. The problem pre-exists your involvement in the situation. But you’re the one they called in to make it all better. And it will go well for you if you can. What are your personal stakes in the matter? How can you get your own buy-in?
Capricorn: You’ve been through something like this before. It might not have been as intense as at the present, but here you are and you’re doing it over. Use your experience in the field to make the projections from the inner-office operable and sensible.
Aquarius: Determination may be your ally, but you’ll need more flexibility than you’d supposed to get from here to there. Exacting standards work in your favor, but only if you can alter them as the real world adds its two cents. Perform with fluidity, compassion.
Pisces: You weren’t concerned when it all went awry. You’re not as attached to plodding along the plotted course as others may wish you were. You can find the joy, the reward, the satisfaction in continually making your own path through uncharted waters. Breathe.

Horoscope
January 22-28, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: This is the beginning of big things. This is the time to plant the seeds of the best of all possible futures, when idealism meets reality and, for once, they’re in agreement. You can take advantage of these propitious times by dreaming big, acting out your fantasies and being on your best and most outrageous behavior. Don’t let the dry sticks talk you out of your active potential. Don’t let worst-case scenarios run your visions down. Don’t see the cup as half empty.
Aries: You have the technology – or you have access to it. So make the most of your potential in the here and now to lay the foundations for what you want in your heart of hearts. Your trust will be rewarded with satisfaction and fulfillment. Don’t sell short.
Taurus: If you could have it your way, what would things look like? Keep that image firmly fixed in your mind’s eye. You can bring the conjectural into reality with the determination and steady pressure, which is the hallmark of your kind. Use the big stick judiciously Monday.
Gemini: You can’t remember when you were last so prepared to find joy. You can’t remember when you were last so ready to communicate the truth and nothing but the truth. You can’t remember when you were so ready to admit you had nothing to lose. Go there.
Cancer: Once upon a fairytale, you felt deeply enough that you were calling it happily ever after. Now you’re wondering whether you couldn’t recapture that euphoria. Now you’re wondering whether you might be able to find the end of the rainbow. It’s your turn.
Leo: You didn’t need it to be easy. You haven’t asked for a lesser burden. You weren’t made for little things. Now you have the challenge before you, but you also have the tools you require to make the most of these interesting times. Yes, you can.
Virgo: Piecemeal, stop-gap measures have taken you about as far as you’re likely to go. Will you re-evaluate your approach? Will you reconsider your allies? Will you give yourself the respect due you for your experience, patience and tenacity? You are still a contender.
Libra: It’s time to celebrate new beginnings. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. If you haven’t loved every minute of it, take time out to go over the strategy and the terrain and the resources at your disposal. You may be more ready for change than you can suppose.

Scorpio: You’re not looking for a handout. You don’t need a free ride. You expect to be judged by stringent standards and held to expectations beyond the ordinary. And you believe you will rise to the occasion and substantially beyond it. Keep the faith.
Sagittarius: One of the great things about being you is how ready you are to turn on a dime and readjust your trajectory, priorities, attitude and outcomes. This skill will stand you in good stead as you find there’s still quite a bit you have to learn to get there from here.
Capricorn: Is it always going to be about the cash flow? Will there ever be another viable yardstick for judging success, accomplishment or even forward motion? You are greater than the sum of your assets — and deep inside you the knowledge resonates. Believe.
Aquarius: Give it your best shot. You have the ability to bend the odds, to change outcomes, to twist fate. You are golden; if you can stand outside reasonable expectation and let your amazing perceptions have free rein. Open your mind to the possibilities.
Pisces: There’s a new vibrational frequency in town. There’s a new feeling in the air. There’s a new emotion in your heart. You can deny what seems inconvenient—if you have the time to throw this opportunity away. Or you can embrace it with both hands. Rejoice.

Horoscope
January 15-21, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: If you’re cranky and you know it, clap your hands! Okay, it’s out in the open and even if you admit it, the sky doesn’t fall. Now it’s time to go to the other end of the spectrum and start looking for your long, lost happy thought. Remember what there was to bring you joy, order and purpose? It’s still there, though it may have undergone a sea change at the bottom of the toy box where you left it for so long. Trust your instincts on Saturday.
Aries: Are you caught between the devil and the deep blue sea? You’re a strong swimmer – or you were and could be again. Don’t give in to the worst case scenario: The situation isn’t pretty, but you have choices if you’re brave enough to go there. Work intelligently.
Taurus: You have more options than you’re comfortable admitting. You have more resources than you can remember. You have more support than you know. With all that in play, this could be a good time to make your big move. Count your chickens before they hatch.
Gemini: Wherever you go, there you are. And you’ll still have all your baggage with you if you don’t get busy thinning down the herd. This is the perfect time to decide what you can pink slip from your pile of semi-processed emotional material. Call to confirm Monday.
Cancer: You have the technology in place. You have a long-term vision and a short-term plan. Have you got the motivation to go forward- Have you got the chutzpah to invite your nearest and dearest to join you in the next big thing on your horizon? Think inclusively.
Leo: You’re still a contender. There are still more complications than a four-door comedy in the third act. There are still more surprises around the bend. There are still more factors in play than you can shake a stick at. Intelligent responses take you farther down the path.
Virgo: If it were already perfect, what would be the point in getting involved? You’re the best person for the job because you can find the ideal in the midst of chaos and know how to turn your perception to the best advantage for all concerned. Give yourself a present Sunday.
Libra: You knew it would be a bear when you got started. You’re beginning to see that the issues may be more obstinate than you’d guessed. Will you give up and walk away? Will you bite the bullet and stay to deal with the whole shebang? You know more than you think.

Scorpio: It’s not a contest. You don’t have to prove that this is the best of times, or the worst of times. You only have to do the best you can with what you have. Maybe you are at a low point, but maybe you also have more capabilities than you’ve been willing to tap.
Sagittarius: What’s the first thing you can remember about the situation you’re in right now- Did it start with a bang, or a whimper? It could end either way as well. And you’re not as close to done as you might have been imagining. Ask an Aquarius for perspective.
Capricorn: It’s not your fault. You didn’t start it. But you’re still on the detail to make it good and right. You still feel an obligation to put things away now that everybody’s done with them. You still want a tidy, if not happy, ending. What will you wear on Saturday-
Aquarius: You can look back in anger or regret. You can wonder about the road less traveled. You can reminisce if that’s all you’ve got left. But you could consider pulling your socks up and getting on with making the most of the rest of this challenging cycle.
Pisces: When did it get so constrictive? When did it begin to feel more like confinement and less like a warm enclosure? When did you realize you were trapped more than you were sheltered? You can change your conditions in a heartbeat. Do you want your freedom?

Horoscope
January 8-14, 2008
Heavenly Round-Up: A sense of hope is in the air, funnily enough. Perhaps we’ve touched bottom. Perhaps the longer days are to blame. Perhaps the human capacity to find the good has overtaken us. But here we are, ready to work through the rough patches and make the most of our lives. Still feeling run down- Rein in the desire for comfort food and old patterns of behavior. Your past doesn’t have your present’s best interests at heart. Extra vitamin C hits the spot.
Aries: You can see what’s going down, but you don’t understand how you come to find yourself in the midst of the fracas. You don’t have an axe to grind on either side of the equation, but the more you struggle, the tighter the bind. Relax. Give it a shot.
Taurus: You can remember when everything went according to plan. You can remember when you knew what to expect. You can remember when there were no surprises. But you don’t long for those good old days. Why is that- Is uncertainty the better part of valor- Fresh and exciting rule.
Gemini: This calls for a hands-on approach to getting off the dime and out of stasis, stat. You’re ready for the next big thing, but you’ll have to break out of the mold to get where you’re planning to go. Call on your variable nature to find the best path.
Cancer: You’ve seen it all, but now you’re the one on display. Are you being admired- Vilified- Condoned- Condemned- All of this is external to the truth of the matter. It’s what’s inside you that counts now. Share your certainty with your nearest and dearest on Sunday.
Leo: You’re holding the line, but it’s not the same as moving forward. You’re counting your assets, but it’s not the same as growing them. You’re watching your mouth, but it’s not the same as contributing to the solution. Are you planning to lead, follow or get out of the way-
Virgo: You want to turn the corner, but you can’t help being afraid of what you might find there. Will you hold your pose for another long while, or will you take up your courage in both hands and take a giant step forward- You’ll know the answer on Monday.
Libra: You worry more than you produce. You fret more than you accomplish. You fuss more than you mean to. You’re not a tyrant, but you’re not as fully in control as you would like, and it tends to make you controlling. Get over your fear through self-hypnosis. Use chocolate.

Scorpio: You’ve been there and done that and now you’ve taken yourself out of the running. Will you mentor the less experienced- Will you judge the competition- Will you take your gun-belt down and get back into the ring- You have more to offer than you can imagine. Think about it.
Sagittarius: Look up the road and down the road. You know what you want, and you know where you’ve been and you’re neither here nor there at present. What will you do to get to somewhere over the rainbow- What wouldn’t you do to make the dream come true-
Capricorn: You’re well equipped for the struggle to come. If you could let go of your fear of the future and your sensation that you don’t have what it takes, you’d do just fine. So recount your blessings, and get a crony to help you see the essentials. Ask on Tuesday.
Aquarius: Wherever you’ve been, it’s a distance back to where you thought you were meant to be. Do you want to retrace your steps- Do you want to continue on from where you stand now- You have more choices than you think. You only have to see with fresh eyes.
Pisces: It isn’t your fault. It wasn’t your shortcoming. It won’t be your actions alone that determine the changes coming. Let some of the burden fall from your shoulders. Check in with someone more logically oriented than you are, so that you can gain the perspective to take right action.
