For All Signs In the early part of 1997 Jupiter and Uranus began a 13-year cycle that represents renewed hope for the New World, the global outlook, and the manifestation of the Aquarian Age. For individuals, it brought a new beginning, the conception of a fresh idea. Between now and May the positions of these planets suggest that this is a time to clarify more specifically how we want that new beginning to manifest. We may be asked to “prove” its value in some way, or to expand the idea to appeal to a greater population.
Aries Life will work more smoothly if you let yourself be led by the “signs,” circumstances, and people around you. It is not a time to attack in anger or initiate new ideas, but to respond to what comes your way. Do your best thinking and planning now and be prepared to take action after January 19. Meanwhile watch your temper and in particular, do not respond to gossip or unverified stories.
Taurus A new beginning of late May through July of 2001 now arrives at a decision point. You may be questioning its value. In order to make the best decision, think deeply and go back to the beginning. Perhaps you have gradually drifted from the original inspiration and need to reconnect. If you deem it worthwhile at the core, then a sacrifice of effort is now required if you are to continue.
Gemini Focus attention on taking unusually good care of your health during this period. There may be stresses on skin, muscles, bones, or teeth at this time. Listen carefully to your body and do not press beyond its boundaries. Incoming news concerning partner or financial resources may be less than optimistic at this point, but it is mainly a message that one must work harder to accomplish the goals.
Cancer Circumstances beyond your control may interfere with plans and interactions concerning partners, whether business or personal. Small sacrifices may be needed in order to maintain the relationship and smooth the waters for the future. Meanwhile consider how best to merge your outer activities with your inner spiritual life.
Leo Now is the time to give yourself a push from the backside and reinvest in your daily self-improvement program. It would also be worthwhile to focus on streamlining your routine operations so that they will become more efficient and easier to accomplish. Do not allow friends or associates to discourage your forward motion. Seek your own counsel.
Virgo You may run into details of organization that must be attended before you pursue your greater life goals. Forward motion is slowing due to small nuisance projects that must be done. It may require a couple of weeks or more, but you can handle it. Beware of distracting yourself from your important tasks with minor, time consuming operations that really have little value in the scheme of things.
Libra Now is the time to revisit a career or work initiative which began in May through July of 2001. It may very well have changed form since the inception. If you are to continue, you will need to find ways to adapt and cooperate with the changes. Look for practical and realistic means of application of the original idea. This may involve research or additional education. Don’t give up.
Scorpio Issues concerning joint resources may be a source of concern this week. These include shared time, money, energy, and/or sexuality. Though your concerns are real, you are inclined at this time to be over-reactive. Discussions will go better if you can remain in the present and avoid dragging up old history. Hold onto your perspective. Things look altogether better next week.
Sagittarius Give special attention to the lead paragraph, Archers. Jupiter is your planetary ruler and its position has particular significance to you at any given time. The advice holds true for several months. There may be one nearby who is willing to offer assistance or help in some way, if you ask. It is possible an unexpected door may be opened which will allow you to expand your horizons.
Capricorn You conceived some fresh ideas concerning your work and/or your health regimen early last summer. Those beginnings are at a turning point at this time. Additional work and possibly more education are needed now if you are to carry the project any further. You may need to educate others on the value of the concepts. Think carefully about what is needed and tackle it.
Aquarius Early last summer you resolved to make a new start concerning children, a lover or a creative enterprise. At this point you may be tempted to give in or give up because you are fatigued. If a short rest is possible, then take it, but don’t assume this is the end of the story. After a breather, return in your thoughts to the original inspiration and search out ways to make it more congruent with what you need now.
Pisces Love life, creativity, and romance may be on hold temporarily, due to circumstances beyond your control. Meanwhile this is a favorable time to pour energy into household improvements. Tackle the room or the closet where everything accumulates. Redistribute unnecessary belongings to others or to the trash bin. You can let go of sentimental attachments to things or people without regret right now.
