Horoscopes (May 17-24)

TAURUS: April 21 – May 20 The next thing has just arrived. This looks like it's going to be a very interesting ride. Before it's over more than one person will be dancing attendance on you, and/or whatever it is that you're peddling. You just might wind up on top of the world, or wherever you've always wanted to be. Don't get too involved trying to figure out how all of this will unravel. Right now it's your job to show up and do what's expected. In no time at all I am willing to bet that what seems like it might be better suited to lesser mortals will turn out to be your ticket to something incredible.

GEMINI: May 21 – June 20 You seem to be torn between what makes sense and whatever it is in you that just wants to say f----it-all. Too much blood on the tracks has made you reluctant to trust the voice that put you in this position. I have no idea what to tell you but I will say that we never know where love, and abundance, and inspiration are going to come from. You might also consider this; sometimes it works best not to be too sensible. If you stick with what's safe you will be free to go along with the way things are. If you are willing to take a chance, this could turn into a total miracle.

CANCER: June 21 – July 20 People who think they know more about your problems than you do are full of advice. As you listen to them spout off, stay clear about the fact that their opinions are a reflection on them; they have no idea what it takes to live your life. Lots of things are about to get rolling. You've come a long way and what got you this far is looking for something else to do. This time it has to have something to do with you. And there are questions that relate to where to place the emphasis. Outer things are bound to need less attention as you crank up the vision behind the dream.

LEO: July 21 – August 20 Too many people to please, combined with the thought that you've made yourself indispensable, has turned your perfect life into something else altogether. Others, and their expectations are getting to be too much. It could be circumstances, but one thing's for sure; you have to find a way to find yourself in all of this. There is evidence that the bigger part of you has had it. If you're hassling yourself for being selfish, or caving in to the fear that other people won't be able to handle it, consider the virtues of giving yourself space to look at what YOU want for a change.

VIRGO: August 21 – September 20 Between the stuff that’s been going on and the stuff that’s come up in the last few weeks all of a sudden there are a million choices to make. Diversifying ones options only gets messy when we don’t know what we want. You’re pretty clear about this. Whatever form it takes, you want it to be easy, and fun, and profitable! Others keep telling you not to expect too much. While it’s always good to be realistic you’d be stupid to let anyone put a damper on all of these possibilities. As long as you stay clear about your motives, you can’t lose at anything right now.

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20 This is a big check point. In the next few weeks you're going to have to decide if you have enough to go on to justify moving forward. With a good amount of evidence to suggest that all systems are 'Go', all the facts aren't in. You may have to sit on your decision till the Solstice. In situations like this everything hinges on your motives. This would be a good time to study closely, the things that make you choose one path over another. For some reason your health is a huge focus. Take heart. You have 9 lives. Your body is robust enough to handle anything.

SCORPIO: October 21 – November 20 Recent history suggests that you're doing everything you can to keep your head above water. The fact that those close to you are less supportive than usual could be fogging up the picture. The desire to be somewhere else thumps away in the background. Knowing what needs to happen next is at the mercy of time and the actions of other people. You aren't necessarily into being so totally involved, but it looks to me like it's part of the deal; at least for now. If it doesn't look the way you thought it would, relax and know that this part of the story is meant to loosen you up.

SAGITTARIUS: November 21 – December 20 The way it looks you've finally figured out how to make this work. I don't know how much you've had to compromise, but you're about to see that for yourself. If it has paid off I am willing to bet that the next few months will present you with a raft of opportunities and a chance to come out from under whatever's been holding you down. As life begins to perk up you will wind up in the same coordinates with people you haven't seen in a dogs age. Regardless of how things ended at your last meeting don't let the past interfere with the chance to reconnect on your own terms.

CAPRICORN: December 21 - January 20 Stepping back far enough to see where things went wrong is always useful. Coming down from another one of those battles with yourself, the idea that other people had anything to do with it is still ringing your chimes. No matter how it looks, or what is going on, there's only one person here. The idea that it's people, places, and things that have been driving you nuts obscures the fact that they have only been standing in to give that aspect of your consciousness a chance to get over itself! Buckle up; the awful truth is about to require more from you than you ever imagined.

AQUARIUS: January 21 – February 20 The long awaited dream is coming to life. This doesn't have to be too far out of this world. For many of you, what is ready to come into being is a simple sense of reward for the weight that you've had to carry over the last few years. if you have children they are in high focus right now, for one reason or another. What is also a possibility is the thought that your deeper creative urges are coming out into the open for the very first time. The revolution in consciousness that is waking you up to your truer visions will soon be begging you to drop the bullshit and do what you love.

PISCES: February 21 – March 20 If you think too much it'll disturb the need to remember that you are better off when you come from a place of total trust. The forces that weigh you down are numerous. David and Goliath themes are epic. Worry and fear aren't much help in these situations; neither is blind faith. You have this all figured out on some level - getting to that level? That's the trick. Part of everything involves having all your ducks in a row. You are already clear on that score. The bigger part of what's about to happen rests inside a deeper kind of faith, and the strength that got you this far.

ARIES: March 21 – April 20 You have enough confidence for ten people. What happens next depends on hanging on to just enough of it to find the courage to start over. Too many things have sprung up to make you more than ready to re-evaluate everything. If others are at fault, or if they somehow have forced long standing issues to come to a head, know that they just triggered things that needed to happen anyway. The long term plan looks like it can go as far as you want to take it. If you've come this far, now it's about the company you keep and the extent to which you keep walking your talk.
