Horoscope
June 25-July 1, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: There’s a seed germinating in your soul. There’s a grain of sand irritating your heart just enough to bring on the emotional mother of pearl. There’s a starting point deep, dark and necessary as air and water requiring your complete ignorance and total neglect so that it may take its inevitable shape in the course of your life. Are you brave enough not to open the oven at this critical stage in the baking of your future potential? Can you resist the temptation to peek? Wear shells.
Aries: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the area. If you can’t stand the introspection, busy yourself with new projects and old acquaintances. If you can’t stand the direction your life is taking, stand at the crossroads and follow the toss of a pebble. Persuade, don’t push.
Taurus: Isn’t it amazing how much one comes to rely on the little daily things to get one through the tough times and the dull? Isn’t it amazing how much one may take for granted without noticing the assumptions? Isn’t it amazing how it all adds up? Call on Friday.
Gemini: Touch, but don’t look. You should be feeling your way forward: carefully and cautiously and with trust to the fore. If you want the best of both worlds, you may have to do without certain necessities in order to use your resources to bridge the gap between them. Think.
Cancer: You feel you don’t know enough to make an intelligent decision. This may be true, but the time is now and the decision can’t wait. Let your dreams, your intuitions and snatches of conversations overheard in public places lead you through the maze. Embrace change.
Leo: It’s not enough to be right. It’s not enough to act with assurance. It’s not enough to be inclusive. There are still questions of ethics and conduct and principles. Step away from your established perspective to get a sense of what you may be missing. Ask a Capricorn.
Virgo: You might yet do as much as all that. But honestly, if you don’t reach out to as much of your standing community as is possible, you’ll have a harder time than you need or want. Grasp the details swiftly and take action after due deliberation. Look left for answers.
Libra: This is a time of renewal of purpose, vision and connection to your professional ideals. This is a time to put sentiment by and use judgment and clarity. This is a time to assess priorities and make commitments to what really matters. Don’t wait past Saturday to speak.

CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS |
Scorpio: Your heart is in it. Your spirit is committed. Your will is activated and in gear. Nothing can stop you now except fear itself. Get in touch with your inner Winston Churchill and release your paranoia to make space for strategy, courage and a willingness to over-indulge.
Sagittarius: Wherever you go, there you are. And you can’t outrun, fly or swim away from the conditions shaping your existence. But you can change those conditions by bringing your attention and awareness to the table. Will you be able to include the ones you love in your choice?
Capricorn: You believed the hype! You bought the pig in a poke! You took a wooden nickel! Okay! Now get over how things were and get on with how things are. You have the personal acumen to learn from your past in order not to have to repeat it, over and over again.
Aquarius: You may feel under the weather, but this could be a signal for you to reconsider the routines you have for maintaining your fleshly self. Health is a foundation on which all futures are more possible to build. Let your inquiring mind know sooner if possible.
Pisces: Your heart is over-stimulated by the new inputs. Your glands are exhausted from the stress of being so engaged. Your spirit is challenged by the latest ring-pass-not in your moral framework. It’s not about the choice so much as the intention you bring to the moment.

Horoscope
June 18-24, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: Not only do we live in interesting times, but they just got a lot more intense. The flow of data is in radical flux. The outcomes of information sharing have taken on a new range of possibilities. The place of commercial transactions in society is about to do a major flip-flop. Hang on to your colorful beachwear, we’re about to undergo a sea change of no small proportion. Loosen your hold on that which may act as drag on your potential velocity. Vector up.
Aries: You’re nobody’s fool most of the time. You have a very hard time believing what you’ve just heard. If you could reach out and touch it, you’d be more likely to act on the rumors going around. As it is, you’re bemused but not galvanized into action. Not yet!
Taurus: So much you’d been anticipating will finally show up and be more than ready to fulfill the other side of the bargain you made with reality ages ago. So much toward which you’ve been working will finally blossom into reality. So much to do if it’s all going to be realÂ….
Gemini: Sense and sensibility alike have nothing to do with the case. This is counter-intuitive. This is counter-intelligent. This is against all probability. This is what it is. So batten down the hatches and get your surge protector hooked up. Wear patterns for camouflage.
Cancer: It’s not the scenario you were strategizing for. It’s not the scenery you would have chosen to look at. It’s not the scent you’d been tracking. And yet, you’re immersed up past your clavicle in the seed of a future completely unforeseen, and welcome all the same.
Leo: Determination works. But so does going with the flow. You will have to take a risk and let one path or the other be the ”right” answer: even with as much at stake as there is. Even with as much up in the air as you know to be true. Let your beliefs be your rock in this.
Virgo: Once a dutiful stalwart, always a dutiful stalwart. However, you are not the captain of this particular ship—and it may behoove you to look out for a place in the lifeboats before they’ve all sailed away. An offer from left field could put you in the spotlight of delight.
Libra: Simple answers suit simple times. Now you need to buckle down and commit yourself to finding complex solutions to match the conditions surrounding you. No, it won’t be easy. Yes, it will be satisfying — and you’ll have risen to the occasion with grace and alacrity.

Scorpio: What were you thinking and when did you start thinking it? It’s been long enough you can hardly pinpoint that distant moment now come so prominently to the fore. Still, the roots of the present are in the past — and the solutions of the future have their start there.
Sagittarius: You would if you could, but you feel hampered by your multitudinous prior obligations. Should you divest yourself of your responsibilities? Should you reprioritize? Should you throw up your hands and go pout somewhere? You have free will and lots of support. Release.
Capricorn: What is it about your resources and their application that has you in such a tizzy? What would it take to give you peace of mind while you restructured every external part of your life to match your inner tectonic shift? What should you wear to help clarify matters?
Aquarius: Performance issues plaguing you? You’ve got to get your head in the game and focus on the evanescent moment. When you let your attention wander, you lose the focus which allows you to make the most of your perceptions. Meditate more all weekend.
Pisces: You’re not one to shrink from chaos. You’re not one to resent disruption. You’re not one to make waves over the inevitable. But you’re also not in possession of a “get out of jail free” card. So liberate yourself before the mob arrives and burn down your former prison.

Horoscope
June 11-17, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: It’s going to be a humdinger of an informational experience. And the emotional component won’t be easily shoved aside. How will you keep on track? Will you keep on track? Would it be better just to go with the flow and have done? Would it be better to stand at the nexus of the x and y axes admiring the view without ever having to choose an active solution? You might talk the possibilities into the ground. You might feel your way instead. Explore.
Aries: Once upon a time was a long time ago now. Are you ready to start remaking the tale of your life? Are you ready to become your own best knight in shining armor in order to rescue yourself from the self-inflicted incarcerations of the soul? You can if you want to.
Taurus: The heat is palpable. The humidity is tangible. The air is fraught with all manner of consternation. But you’re centered and you’re productive and you’re gathering rosebuds while ye may. Don’t let the little things overwhelm you. Think big. Think pink. Think now.
Gemini: Since there’s so much more than your philosophies have dreamt of, and since you’re always up for a new stimulus experience, and since the world could be your oyster if only you would cut loose, it might be time. Give in to the ecstatic moment with a vengeance.
Cancer: The fertile soil of your imagination requires regular watering by the rains of reality. So let the parade get soaked. You’ll only be the more productive for wider exposure to the elements. Since you can’t run or hide, stick around and enjoy the show on Sunday.
Leo: If persistence were a vice, you would suffer from it. If charm were communicable, you’d be spreading it. If optimism were optional, you wouldn’t give it up. Find the good amidst the bulrushes and honor the serendipity of the moment to the top of your bent.
Virgo: Why not? You can only play by the rules for so long before your bodily health begins to reflect the compromises visited on your soul by the exigencies of necessity. Maybe it’s time to reframe what matters. Maybe it’s time to review definitions in general.
Libra: If you were better organized, you’d be sitting in the catbird seat by now. Or so you like to tell yourself. But that may not be as true in fact as it is in the hypothetical. Ease up and kick back and let the world show you a broader range of options than you knew.

CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS |
Scorpio: Think of this as a test run. Think of this as a Petri dish. Think of this as an experimental garden. Whatever else you do, remind yourself that there are no right answers, only a range of possible solutions and applications and no fixed point of completion.
Sagittarius: You’re covered in déjà vu moments. You’re immersed in that place where the past and the future are meeting up and going out for a drink. You’re lost to the present and absentminded in the extreme. It’s all good. Everything is everything and it’s okay.
Capricorn: While it’s not your problem, you can’t stop working out the best-case scenarios against worst-case situations. Are you preparing for your own fiascos? Are you fascinated by the range of possibilities when it isn’t your own neck on the line? Find a good seat.
Aquarius: Patience can be carried too far. If that’s the case, then you may come around to find yourself so far out of line you can’t see Euclid from where you’re standing. Get anxious. Allow yourself to become agitated. Fall into a fit and really let go on Saturday.
Pisces: Thermodynamics decree that things will fall apart. The center cannot hold. Yeats and Einstein both knew what they were talking about. So enjoy the illusion of reality, even though you are apart from it while immersed in it. Wear your heart on your sleeve.

Horoscope
2009 Capital Pride Week
Heavenly Round-Up: The hostesses — and hosts — have it. It’s their time to shine and it would be best for the rest of us to give them the props they so richly deserve for all their planning, forbearance, flexibility and ingenuity in the face of the constantly shifting parameters of the day and the times. Bring a bottle, a bouquet or a box of chocolates to pay your respects to the individual and the undertaking alike. Get your dancing shoes on and make sure you have your calendar memorized. Give your all!
Aries: Less is sometimes more. This is not one of those times. You’re ready to talk and to listen and to reach out and to enfold. You’re ready to be in two places at once and you don’t even consider it a feat of strategy or planning. Show up early, stay out late.
Taurus: You’re not timid. You’re not reticent. You’re not averse. But you won’t be hurried and you won’t settle for less than the best. You have the right to your standards, and you would be wrong not to stick to your guns. Show the flag and wave it with spirit.
Gemini: Blessings and serendipity conspire to make this a four-star day. You’ve been saving up your wit and your charm. Just don’t spend it all in one place. This day will have many faces and the experiences will give it more than one shape. Revel in the atmosphere.
Cancer: You may not have your timing down. You may not have your game face on. You may not be cooking on all four burners. Even so, you have a certain elusive something that makes you as hard to resist as you are capable of adaptation. Use your chops with vigor.
Leo: Since you had your eyes opened so graphically, you have to ask yourself it you’re thinking of passing on your awareness — or if you’d rather keep your epiphany to yourself and pretend that you’re well within the boundaries of situation normal. Don’t delay at midday.
Virgo: You could if you would only let yourself. Write a blanket permission slip before you leave the house and keep it where you remember your resolution until you crawl home in the wee, small hours. Your taste and discernment could go either way this evening.
Libra: Why not? Just shrug and let it go. You could tie yourself up in knots struggling with the fine points, but you might find more satisfaction in getting on with whatever comes next. If you choose to live in the moment, the sky is the limit for your enjoyment factor all day.

Scorpio: Is this the time to hold back and query deeply? Or would it better serve your ends to allow the day itself to wash over and around you? Immerse yourself in whatever comes next and revel in the unlikely as often as it may occur. Smile for authenticity.
Sagittarius: Stop comparing apples and oranges as you move into your round of obligations and indulgences. Let your attachments float away and go wherever your impulses take you next. Don’t lose your phone or your head and you’ll come out richer for the experiences.
Capricorn: Was it something you said? Was it something you ate? Was it something you forgot? There are a million reasons why something can’t be perfect, but you have the strength of character to overcome the obstacles and get to a serene place within.
Aquarius: Silly you! Of course it behooves you to yuck it up and be a clown to forward your goals and your agendas. Comedy catches more appreciation than out and out alien behavior. So find the groove and go with the flow and you will be rewarded beyond your dreams.
Pisces: Uncurl and blossom into the best of all possible versions of yourself. Let the day unfold at your feet and know that every moment is for you. Share your secret celebrity with the chance-met acquaintance and new found soul-mate. You can have whatever you want.

Horoscope
June 4-10, 2009
Heavenly Round-Up: It’s hard to deny you’re between a rock and a hard place. On the other hand, you’ve been there long enough that you’re beginning to settle in and make yourself at home. Is this your intention? If you’d rather move along with getting your life back on track, then commit to making yourself uncomfortable once again. Remember you’ll only be as displaced as you were before you got used to feeling like a refugee from your own life. Spend a penny.
Aries: It won’t change your life from the ground up. It will change your life from the sky down. So stop staring at your feet and get ready for radicalization to fall from the heavens into your (hopefully) outstretched hands. Purchase only after Saturday and serious reflection.
Taurus: You’ve been here before, but not in the sense of reincarnation. It’s more like you’ve circled back to see what you can see the second time around. Good for you. Thoroughness counts and you’ll be getting high marks there. Reach out to a Pisces on Sunday.
Gemini: What!? Maybe you shouldn’t have blinked when you did. Maybe you shouldn’t have gone potty when you did. In any case, you’re not sure how you got into this crazy dilemma, and you’re even less certain as to how you’ll extricate yourself. Keep an open mind.
Cancer: You’re toeing the line you used to walk. It doesn’t make you angry. Rather, you’re confused and more than a little disheartened. Would a new vantage point yield a fresh perspective? Would distance give you the space to reformulate your approach? Ponder with a buddy.
Leo: Whoops, you did it again! And you’re not afraid to claim the act or own the consequences, either. Give yourself props for standing up and being counted. Give yourself hell for allowing the pickle to get as deep and complicated as it is. Give it all you’ve got to recover.
Virgo: Expect the unexpected. Expect it from an unseen direction. Expect it from a totally unsuspected source. Expect it to bring the unimaginable into your daily life. Expect to find your old paradigm dissolved in the new world order coming at you with the speed of gravity.
Libra: You fell for the gag. You believed the hype. You bought a pig in a poke. Now you’re looking around, as though waking from a fanciful dream. How will you treat your life to bring it back to what you choose? Who will you partner with to make everything right?

CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS |
Scorpio: It wasn’t your fault—for once. It wasn’t your intention, though you own the outcomes. It wasn’t necessary, but you couldn’t resist going the extra mile just to prove you had it in you. Great. Let it all go. You have other fish to fry, and a deadline to meet.
Sagittarius: In disgrace with fortune in men’s eyes? It happens. But you’re not feeling what others are seeing. Since you’ve kept all that judgment at bay, you’re freed up to get on with making all your fantasies come true. Maybe not gracefully, but eventually will do.
Capricorn: Timing is everything, right? You may need to release that preconception back into the wild, where it belongs. You can make your own best practices. You can make your own prompt responses. You can make anything you want. Allow the impossible Monday.
Aquarius: You’ve seen it all. You’re more jaded than you’d care to admit. You’re ready to throw up your hands and walk away from the mess, wholesale. But you could choose to stick around and revamp the process and the procedure to meet the needs of the future instead.
Pisces: It’s neither a bird, nor a plane. It’s your own spirit come to rescue you from obscurity and self-doubt. You’ve been bullied into a corner. Will you be flexible enough to slide out from under the heap of doo-doo to which you’ve been self-condemned? Plan ahead.
