Aries (March 20-April 19) — You may feel like you have to take everything as slowly and as carefully as if you’re walking through a minefield. Actually your situation is not nearly so dangerous, and you have a considerable margin of safety — if you make sure to filter out anger as a motive for action. Anything else will do: desire, love, ambition, or altruism. Just not anger, which is likely to be false; that is, incorrect and/or based on something that is not true. A boatload of activity in your neighboring sign Pisces is taking place in a kind of blind spot, and you can assume there are some elements of your situation that you are not aware of. Be mindful of that, but also trust yourself to make the right decisions, especially if you make a conscious effort to take the needs and priorities of others into account. If anyone disagrees with you, see if you can turn their opinion into usable information or a helpful suggestion. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Mars and Uranus in your sign are giving you a burst of energy and excitement about life: the rare sense that something new is possible in the world. These are the two most energetic planets, and they’re inspiring you to get yourself moving. You can set aside your previous plans and do something interesting, giving preference to what you’ve never done before. I don’t know what that brings to mind for you, though with your ruling planet Venus transiting your 10th house of career and reputation, you’re in a position to co-create something helpful, with the collaboration of others. You would, however, be the one to take the lead, such as by proposing an idea for something you want to see happen. Your intuition is working well, with Mars harmoniously aligned with Neptune, and this will help any cooperative venture. Make sure beauty as well as practicality factor into your schemes. Outside of work, take the lead on making social plans. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — You may take an odd or circuitous route to reach your current goal. That suits you just fine, as it’s rare that you prefer to do things the normal or expected way. By taking your own path to get where you’re going, you learn more, you have more fun, and you encounter surprise developments. Let this work in various life situations, and also try it when you’re roaming around on the ground. Experiment with taking different ways of getting places. Turn off the GPS and let yourself get lost. The world at the moment is way too heavily invested in its false certainty, which does not foster creativity in any form. It’s even terrible for things like science and engineering. Therefore, allow yourself to be uncertain. When you encounter a mystery, establish a relationship with it, rather than trying to solve it. Use your imagination rather than your rational mind. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — You’re not a showy person by nature; you’re more private and retreating. Yet aspects this week and indeed for the foreseeable future will draw you out of your shell and into the world. You may be called upon to reveal things about yourself that you might never ordinarily express to anyone but an intimate partner. You will be doing this for two reasons: one, someone has to; and the other, you can. Of all the people you know, you can afford to be not just transparent but truly revealing. As you experiment with this, you may encounter the extent to which your friends and colleagues are verging on frantic in their need to conceal who they are, how they feel and what they want from life. This is likely to make you all the more eager to go against your own seeming nature and burst out of your bubble even if you make people squirm. They have too many secrets. You’re doing them a favor. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You may feel like you can conquer the world this week, and you probably can, but why work so hard? You can more effectively take on one valued goal and get it done in a beautiful way, with feeling. In recent weeks, your chart has taken on the sensation of exploration more than accomplishment. You can allow your curiosity to lead you into interesting places, rather than needing desire to drive you forward. Your ability to motivate yourself will come in handy when you discover something new that you want to do, though it does not need to be the main event. Meanwhile, there are elements of your world, intimate in their nature, that are calling for a certain delicateness of approach. These may involve arrangements or negotiations of a financial sort, the exchange of confidential information, or erotic pillow talk. Take those things gently, and proceed as if you’re moving under water, or in a zero-gravity environment. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — You’re likely to be undergoing a review of your relationships now and for the next few weeks. This is a good thing, as looking back and evaluating personal experiences is rare enough to experience. So take the opportunity to consider what’s happened in your personal affairs, particularly going back about five years (though in some situations, much further). The central questions involve truth and veracity. Who has been real with you, and who has not? Whose word have you accepted as valid? Who demonstrated themselves worthy of your trust, and who did not? What secrets have you discovered from your distant past, and how have you been influenced by their coming to light? The information you’re seeking will come out in layers, rather than in a big burst. However, as Mercury begins to slow down again and station direct toward the end of the month, you’re likely to make an unusual discovery, and you will benefit from what is revealed. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — You may set in motion events far beyond what you’re able to perceive. It would be wise to assume your words and actions have both impact and influence, and act accordingly. While you don’t have control, you can be aware that your intentions and impulses ripple out through the world (meaning various forms of social networks, as well as on the subtle levels), and commit to being a source of good vibes. You can also serve in the role of translator. Many people have not quite mastered the skill of saying what they mean or meaning what they say. This may be from lack of precision, lack of understanding, or intentional misrepresentation. Give people the benefit of the doubt, and when in doubt, ask them what they mean by their words. You can do so without any emotional charge at all; if you’re even meekly uncertain, or if someone’s words may be taken a few different ways, politely ask for clarification and see what comes back. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — If your amorous desires are off the scale of “normal,” you might consider going with the flow. The Kinsey Scale (one through seven, straight to gay) needs to go in about five more directions, such as monogamous to polyamorous, attached to not attached, not curious to very curious, and so on. Lately, your relationship patterns may be outside of what is typical for your peers: you may want things they don’t have an interest in, or be curious about taboo subjects. You may also be in a position to help another person work out what seems like a complex situation, and your ability to assist will be seeing it in some of its underlying simplicity. Remember that your main role is to hold space open, not to fix anyone. Holding space mainly means listening without judgment, and offering your support and encouragement. It’s best to minimize your personal involvement with people you’re assisting this way, though that’s not always possible. Be gentle and do what you feel is right. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Mercury retrograde may be making an emotional or domestic situation seem larger than it is. Try not to be reactive, and say as little as possible. Instead, let people express their views, and allow the facts to come out. Some might argue that the facts don’t matter; only their feelings matter, which may be true for them. Gradually, you may need to present one specific idea at a time, which begins to complete the picture and reveal what is going on. But you don’t want to be forceful about this, and you would be wise to let things run their course. This could take two to three more weeks, and a deeper level of reality may not begin to emerge until Mercury stations direct later this month. The most significant things you can track are your own feelings and responses, which you don’t have to share with anyone. Just know what they are; be observant of yourself and of others, and watch the river of your responses and feelings flow. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — You’re often reluctant to express strong feelings or desires. You might not think so, though what you’re feeling on the inside does not usually match what you express on the outside. Is it worth putting all this energy into holding yourself down? Or do you prefer when others do all of the getting excited for you? Anyway, there would seem to be plenty you want to express. It might run the spectrum from sexual desire to anger; from some creative expression to wanting to go on an adventure. You’ll feel better if you get your emotions into physical form — get outside, get moving, get to the gym — though while these things will help, they won’t touch the deeper levels of your feelings. They will only get you a little closer. If you’re worried you might lose control of yourself, I suggest you skip that. You are surrounded by guardrails. You would be happier if you jumped one or two of them and went off-road for a while. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Venus in your sign will be offering you some reassurance, even if you might be feeling nervous about your finances, or unsure of yourself. You have the personal resources to turn any situation around: the intelligence, charisma and experience to get the results you want. Do your thing and be the voice of cool, calm reason. Strive to get your results one person at a time rather than trying to convince a group of anything. Remember that you’re what people trust in any situation, rather than a product, an idea or an organization. Trust is established one to one, and it emerges first from you being in accord with yourself. So, ask yourself questions if you must, though don’t take your doubts too seriously. There are answers, swimming around down there somewhere, and they will be informative. Yet you’ll still be in the same position of trusting yourself, which extends a hand for others to trust you. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Mercury is retrograde in your sign, and this is giving you an opportunity to unravel or undo a situation that is not working for you. Or rather, just let it happen. This is a better time to take a passive role than an active one. Observe slowly and carefully rather than coming to conclusions. There is plenty that you cannot see, including a point of benefit or assistance that is waiting in the wings. Let people and things come to you rather than you going to them; or if you’re the one who shows up, do so, and see what they have to offer. Ease back and allow, as much as you can. This will shift your orientation, and open you up to possibilities you would have missed otherwise. I suggest that observing and noticing what’s available be your primary occupation during Mercury retrograde. That, and tidying up promises you’ve made, and making sure you’ve fulfilled your end of any agreement. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — Chiron newly in your sign will take a surge of energy from Uranus entering your neighboring sign Taurus. These transits are directly related, as the two planets are traveling in parallel over a long phase of time — about 18 years (depending on what orb you use). Chiron is directing your inner awareness; Uranus entering Taurus is urging you to act on your personal truth. Altogether, you may experience a radicalizing effect that awakens you to a new sense of mission, purpose or reason for your existence. It would be fair to call this a liberating effect. Yet there is an issue you need to be aware of: humans don’t always respond well to freedom or opportunities to experience it. The main problem seems related to taking responsibility for one’s existence and for one’s choices. The prevailing theme of society right now is “you are a victim,” and it’s coming in from just about every direction. You cannot have it both ways, so you will need to choose one. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Uranus changes signs every seven years, and it does so Wednesday. Last spring there was a brief preview of this transit; it now takes hold for the next seven years, and becomes the primary feature of your astrology. While the stability and seeming predictability of Taurus may appear to be the least compatible with the revolutionary drive of Uranus, the two will provide you with motivation and courage to find out who you are. The essence of Uranus in your sign is reinventing yourself, so that implies finding out who you want to be. This does not happen all at once; it comes in waves and peaks, one of which is likely to commence early in the cycle. You can do your part by considering what you want, what you want to do, or what possibilities you want to explore. Give yourself permission to be different from who you were yesterday. Allow yourself the privilege to live outside the expectations of others who are not entitled to an opinion. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Amidst much other astrology, Mercury stations retrograde Monday. (This will be the first of three Mercury retrogrades this year.) Along with the Pisces New Moon, this happens in your 10th house, associated with your responsibilities and reputation. Several factors are urging you to make sure you take care of yourself before you take care of others. This is not one facet at the expense of the other, but rather your order of priorities. You may not be fully aware of just how much responsibility you have; certain circumstances are making it blend into the background. You may not know completely how much is being asked of you; it’s more than you think. If you’re feeling this but have not wholly acknowledged it, you could be avoiding or eluding certain duties. And you might feel some need to be less visible when you’re being called to be more visible. It would be better if you consider all of this rather than let it slide. Mercury retrograde will be working to get your attention. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Chiron’s change of signs two weeks ago has awakened you to certain necessities related to your professional obligations, including renewing your dedication to your calling. Yet for this, you must get out of the office, off of the internet, and into the real world of people, places and things. Yes, you will have plenty to do online, yet the balance piece is essential: the need for direct experience and in-person contact for your full impact, charisma and leadership to be felt by others. There may also be decisions you need to make, especially about how you present yourself to the public. You have been altogether too cautious in recent years, and would benefit from experimenting and shaking things up a little. This is not about being different for the sake of impressing anyone, but rather for the purpose of liberating yourself from what is too familiar, and from what you consider safe. You have little choice but to be unabashedly yourself. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — For many years, nearly all of your astrology has been coming from the angle of where you are affected by the world, rather than where you have an impact. The world’s changes have acted on you, and you’ve had few opportunities to make your mark on the planet. That’s about to change with the ingress of Uranus into Taurus on Wednesday. This, combined with many other factors, is about you opening up new territory in life, especially where your goals, aspirations and ideals are concerned. For a long, long time, you’ve considered things in theory, and wondered what would be possible if you could fully apply yourself. That time has arrived. This is partly about you discovering a new perspective on the world, but closer to the heart of your personal quest, a new perspective on your reason for living. You need the courage to dare, and to make mistakes. You are different, yet what distinguishes you comes from inside, not from appearances of any kind. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — You can afford to slow things down a little; this is time for a review of your relationships, your commitments, and your needs. Though life is not always a game of even-steven, this is a good time to ask whether those you’re involved with are aware of your needs, or are interested in meeting them. It’s time to ask whether you’re investing your energy into what you actually want; and whether you can see a potential desirable result manifesting. You need to bring the power of vision to whatever you do. That means using your mind to envision what is possible, and then envision the steps to getting there. It’s best to work from a potential destination backwards to the present, rather than taking steps without being sure where they lead. This may be the part that takes guts: looking through the chaos and fog the world is spewing out right now, and seeing better options. And then, whether anyone else seems to care or not, choosing consciously. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — When dealing with work-related subject matter this week, pay special attention to what is necessary and what is not. This will help you avoid solving problems that don’t really exist, or doing what ends up being unnecessary. It will help if you’re sensitive to resistance or any sense of being caught in a bog. That feeling may be subtle, so you will need to pay attention. Look at the clock and notice how long something is taking; is the intended result worth this much commitment? What is the intended result, anyway? Pay special attention to agendas, both your own and those of other people. If there is any kind of persistent disruption or delay, where is it coming from? Is it accidental, coincidental, or part of a plan? Rather than accuse anyone of anything, get the facts, and seek an understanding with people. You need your Libra negotiation and peace-making skills now more than ever. And remember, you’re a master of tying up the loose ends. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Uranus enters your opposite sign Taurus this week, which will be some combination of shocking, refreshing and awakening. Be open to the ideas of others. That doesn’t mean doing what they say, or accepting their opinions as true. Rather, it means sounding, feeling and being open-minded. Consider everything. It’s easy to dismiss ideas because you know they may not be 100% valid. Yet it’s only a little more effort to pause and find the useful bits among the ideas that others may bring to you, or the plans that they may have. The sign Scorpio ranges from zero all the way to 10 on the “easygoing” scale, and you could naturally fall anywhere along that line. The chances are you want control, and you’ll need to guard against the sense that you’re in some way sacrificing that if you listen to what others think. In reality, you will only gain influence by engaging others with dialog on their own terms. People will be happier if you include them in your decision-making process. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Current planetary movements reveal that you’re especially emotionally sensitive these days, a quality almost never attributed to those born under your sign. Yet it’s true, and you may find yourself contemplating whether you’re really doing the right thing in life — and whether you can change much at this stage of your existence. There are two sides to working out this equation: how you feel, and what you express. They may seem to be unrelated; and how you feel may drown out any desire to say or do much. Yet you might let the expression side take the lead. Amid much other astrology, Chiron is now in your 5th house of creativity and play. This is an invitation not to get hung up or bogged down in your emotional reality. Let it be what it is; it will take care of itself. Find some area that you consider to be a frontier, and push forward a little. Challenge some idea about who you are with tangible action that keeps you busy. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — You may feel like the pressure is mounting, and like you have little clarity to even determine what is necessary. That is a good sign; if you know you’re having difficulty making decisions or even evaluating your options, that’s far better than driving quickly in the rain and fog. Slow down and make a list of the basic facts and figures that you think influence or affect you. Then study and revise the list over the next few days, and evaluate each point. Is it true? Do you really want or need that, and does it really have an influence? Your perspective will change over the next three weeks of Mercury retrograde. Rather than being certain or conclusive, keep your possibilities open. If you notice you’re trying to convince yourself of anything, pause and take a step back; evaluate slowly, consciously and most of all, gently. Be sensitive to changes in your environment, inner and outer, that render certain previously valuable facts to now be irrelevant. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Venus is now in your sign or rising sign, which will seem to tune up this thing called “intuition.” Here’s a theory — intuition is really a response to what you feel, what you think and what you know, in approximately equal measure. Feeling means tuning in to a body sense that is deeper and calmer than an emotional reaction. It’s rarely that sense of totally certain, gung-ho, let’s go. Notice when you encounter resistance, whether inner or outer, and consider what it’s about. Take any opportunity to step outside your usual safe zone of what works for you, and try different approaches to matters related to work, your finances, or your family. It’s not so much that everything is up for re-evaluation. What is changing, though, is how you evaluate, and how you make your choices. Pay attention to new information that may present itself, seemingly out of nowhere, over the next three or four days. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — This week’s extraordinary New Moon in your birth sign is calling on you to appreciate all that is not ordinary in your life. At this time, very little is “as usual.” This is partly coming from the prevailing chaos and strangeness of the world. But mostly it’s the result of challenging influences that are entirely internal and self-oriented. You are currently experiencing a realignment with yourself. The recent ingress of Chiron into Aries is compelling you to be somewhat brutal about enforcing your values, which means investing your energy only into what directly matters to you. To know that, you have to think and reflect carefully, and listen to yourself when you say “this is important to me” about the same thing or few things every day. It will be too easy to con yourself out of what you want the most, though that would be impossible if you did not possess some sense of needing to sacrifice yourself for others. It’s not about them; it’s about you. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — Following a little turbulence in the past week, you may now be experiencing the welcome sensation of reaching familiar turf. There’s still a good deal happening, and you will probably soon need to head out once more into unknown territory. After all, a comfort zone is not meant for staying in permanently. You’d feel cooped up, as if you never ventured outside your physical home. In reality, it’s much more a place to return to after a long and informative adventure in the wilderness. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Compared with the past week, you should begin to feel significantly lighter as time progresses. There may still be some encounters to unpack; however, on the whole the atmosphere will probably seem a good deal more congenial. Try to make time for leisure and social activities if you need to get away from the usual routines, even if you enact only very basic changes. You might benefit from the fresh surroundings, and from coming out of yourself a little more, if only for an hour or two. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — During the next few weeks, you’ll have an opportunity to review your recent achievements and career moves, and tie up any loose ends, before moving forward to the next phase of fulfilling your goals. As you do this, make honesty your watchword. Be determinedly accurate in everything you say and do, as much as possible. Honor any promises; and when looking back, take a realistic view about how far you’ve come, including the substantial positives. This will stand you in good stead for oncoming endeavors. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Persevere in spite of whatever you perceive as blocking or hindering your path. The chances are any real obstacles are a lot less formidable than they seem. Fear exaggerates and can also create mirages, which is all the more reason not to let it dictate your actions. If you’re facing an actual puzzle at this moment, take it step by step, and if necessary get other perspectives on the matter. If, however, you’re looking at a potential tangle at some future time, first focus on getting there. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Be wary of assigning blame or ascribing meaning in any situation where the truth is not wholly clear, which means most scenarios. These days, where any challenge arises, there is a general tendency to look outward for explanations and solutions rather than inward. It may be worth deliberately taking the opposite approach for a while — begin by considering your responsibilities, and surveying your inner landscape. This should be useful in helping you overcome any difficulties and move onward. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — You may soon need to commence a process of re-evaluating how you conduct yourself in your most intimate relationships; in particular, whether and where you might hold back from sharing your truth with loved ones. It’s natural to want to give a favorable impression of ourselves that we think will be well-received; however, stuffing down feelings and thoughts invariably leads to trouble further down the line. You need to be wholly yourself all the time, with no compromises or half-measures. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — If your daily routine seems lately to be erring on the side of all work and no play, make an effort to fix that this week, even if only with small changes. Give yourself space to relax and stretch out, and more room for activities you know you’ll find fun, as well as anything you really want to try. Notice any sensations of guilt or fear you experience when doing so. Analyzing such emotions and releasing them will probably free up some energy. If you feel relief, that’s likely to be a sign of progress. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — At this time of year you can generally look forward to making some creative or innovative leaps; and right now the wind is decidedly behind you, especially for any endeavor that involves collaboration. The dynamic may become intense at times, and you’ll need people around you with whom cooperation involves mutual advancement, as opposed to everyone pursuing their own private agenda. Spend time with those who bring out your best qualities, and in a space where you can focus naturally. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Remember that ultimately you have free will. Your life is not a pre-programmed course, laid out by some divine hand or by movements from the past; you can change direction pretty much whenever you see fit. This, of course, entails responsibility — for understanding the situation, and for making appropriate choices, as well as mending any mistakes. Be cautious of any temptation to give up some measure of your liberty; ultimately you need to be in control of your life, and anything less is inadequate. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — Although much of the action and tension of our present era is happening in your sign, you’ve played host to Pluto for long enough that you’re likely better able than most to cope with the rolls and pitches. That said, if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, reach out and ask for help. You may be strong and resourceful, but you are not superhuman, nor are you expected to be. Check in with loved ones occasionally, and make sure you take the time and space you need to refresh and restore yourself. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Being human necessarily limits one’s perspective; the alternative would probably render us effectively unable to function. That said, this week you may well have an opportunity to broaden your point of view in some ways. Keep an open mind if you are challenged in a discussion or by an event, and do your utmost to give genuine consideration to the ideas of others. In any conflict where values are at stake, aim to take the high road. At the very least, you stand to gain useful wisdom. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Pay close attention this week to any indication that you’re expected to follow a specific route, or take a particular point of view. This may well involve a situation that’s more complex than it appears at first sight, and you will likely therefore need the space to determine what you actually think or feel. Be wary likewise of automatically taking a polar opposite perspective in the spirit of rebellion; the key here is to carve out your unique path, which may take more effort but is necessary for aligning with reason. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — Chiron’s return to Aries on Monday might well be the first clear signal you’ve had that it really is a new year. A number of factors in your life that may have seemed stuck should now be easier to release, and you will probably feel a lot lighter, and more like yourself. Embrace your sense of freedom, and of joy in the beauty surrounding you. Chiron is here to help you understand that you are not a narrow being, but a great soul who can grow and expand, potentially into all the corners of the universe. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Persons of a determinedly rational worldview can be knocked for six when inevitably finding that the heart and soul have ways of asserting themselves. The last seven years with Uranus barreling through the most delicate realm of your being may have had something of a similar effect. Chiron is a much gentler teacher, though it would certainly be wise to keep your recent lessons in mind; you will gradually be guided into a fully integrated relationship with the deepest and most profound parts of yourself. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Your understanding of what real friendship means is likely very different from what it was not so long ago; you are learning to invest your time and energy mainly in people who would honor the value of such gifts. Chiron will likely afford you the opportunity to refine your knowledge still further, through associating with a broader variety of people or an entirely different set. You can help this process along by venturing into unfamiliar spaces when the chance arises, with an open mind and a sense of curiosity. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Recently you may have been experimenting with potential changes to your career path, even if outwardly maintaining the status quo. Yet it would seem a quiet revolution has been building within you all this while, and you are ready to try something else. If you find your current course restrictive and especially if it’s no longer stoking your passion, it’s time to break for freedom. This could happen within your present role, but more likely either that will have to expand significantly, or you need to take on something altogether new. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — One of the challenges Western civilization faces at present is that former cultural tenets have been swept away with nothing much currently to replace them. While on a collective level we gradually forge new paradigms, individually and on a daily basis many people need help. During the next few years, you are likely to be (or become) someone others turn to for guidance, thanks to your insight and your grasp on certain issues. If you’re prepared to listen and learn also, your wisdom could well prove useful on a much wider scale. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Remember as often as you can to hold space for yourself: your feelings, your desires, your needs. You are embarking on a phase of deep self-exploration, not necessarily in a contemplative way but more likely through specific encounters. Each of these has the potential to teach you something fundamental about who you are, and who you are becoming. Pay attention to the messages from your body and your emotions, and avoid judging them; instead, allow yourself just to be, without complication. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Even now, in our supposedly enlightened times, people enter and stay in relationships for all sorts of reasons other than love. Security, emotional or financial, is a major driver; as is social pressure to be part of a couple. As a result, much energy is spent on keeping the partnership together at all costs, and honesty — with oneself and others — is often compromised. Chiron’s arrival in your opposite sign will likely strengthen your capacity to practice honesty with loved ones, and help you to foster healthy connections. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You may have heard the argument that altruism is not really unselfish because it is beneficial to the giver as well as the receiver. Besides this missing the point, I would suggest that acts of kindness are no less salutary if performing them gives one a boost; at any rate, they are better for the world than acts of cruelty or indifference. Don’t be afraid to show compassion, or to do anything helpful that also nourishes your soul. There is nothing wrong in making other people’s paths through life a little smoother.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — If there’s one factor in the human experience that’s near-universal, it’s that life rarely goes according to plan. We can have all kinds of noble and wonderful ideas about what we’re going to do, or be, and then we hit snags or find that we need to do something entirely different. Often, though, this is the kind of event from which you can learn invaluable skills or lessons, and through which you come to know more about who you really are. You may well find your true capabilities are far greater than you believed. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — Restrictions stemming initially from parents and authority figures have a way of getting under one’s skin from an early age, and can be tenacious in clinging on through the years. Chiron is now offering you a way to unhook some of the most challenging material that has plagued you, and embrace a potentially much more liberated life. Everything you were prevented from doing, through fear or guilt or stuffy people wagging their fingers, is within your grasp. Make a wish list and start with whichever item leaps at you hardest.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — What do you want to know? What gets your curiosity going? These are questions you may wish to consider now, because soon you’ll have an opportunity to explore specific topics in depth for their own sake, in a way you previously might not have been able to. Your mental focus is about to become a force to be envied. Make sure you direct it in accordance with your higher aspirations, and not into a rabbit hole of questionable sources and disinformation. Your success will be in proportion to your efforts. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may find yourself re-evaluating your relationship to material goods and resources, which up to now has arguably been somewhat uneasy in places. Perhaps you occasionally ask why you can’t seem to make certain resources work for you, or why you never seem to be properly rewarded for your considerable efforts. Chiron is here to help you make some necessary changes in this area, which begin with certain adjustments to your internal landscape and to particular thought processes that do not currently ‘spark joy’.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — Astrological weather for the next few days is likely to be edgy for just about everyone, though some may be able to burn that energy as fuel or ride with the tide. Don’t forget to go easy on yourself, as well as on others, and try to keep a grasp on the astute and pragmatic aspects of your mind. That said, amid the turbulence, you will probably have at least one profound flash of insight, which could lead to inspiration and possibly a new understanding of your current purpose. Notice also if a theme appears to be repeated. This may be especially relevant. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Uranus is now in the final degree of Aries before it re-enters your sign for its seven-year stay. This may well be something of a restless time for you, as you prepare to stretch and grow in all the ways you’ll be encouraged to. Stay in touch with your sense of fairness in dealings with others, and do your best not to let impatience govern your actions. Instead, notice where the tension is excited most, which could offer valuable information on where specifically you need to aim. This is coming from a deep stratum of your psyche; to grasp its language may bring considerable healing. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Do your best to avoid taking part in any quarrels that don’t immediately concern you. Distractions and diversions tend to come in thick and fast these days, so that it can take skill to deflect them all; it’s especially easy to find oneself drawn needlessly into an argument. Yet you likely know exactly where you really need to focus your efforts: what you are working on is of profound importance, and speaks to your highest purpose and goals. Keep close to your inner guidance, and surround yourself with people whose presence is congenial and nourishing to your soul. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Remember that things are not always as they appear at first glance, and that often hidden agendas or motives can exist, sometimes without the understanding of the person who holds them. This is not an invitation to general suspicion. Merely, if you’re presented with an offer or request, even one that seems innocuous on the surface, check in with your intuition. If something feels strange or out of place, dig around a little and see what emerges; the resulting information, regardless of its nature, may help you understand many facets of this situation a little better. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Be ready to take the high ground in any dispute with a partner or friend. That means listening earnestly to the other party’s argument, trying to empathize with their point of view, maintaining calm where possible, and responding with compassion and reason — which is by no means the same as acquiescing if you cannot do so truthfully. If you notice fear or jealousy taking hold, pause to analyze that material. Don’t judge it; simply acknowledge its existence as a potential driving factor. All this may not gain victory for your position, but it will earn you respect. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Go easy on yourself just now, and try to take any agitation of mind, especially relating to self-doubt, with approximately a handful of salt. Above all, don’t allow it to prevent you from continuing to carry out an essential long-term project. The benefits of this may be somewhat hidden from your view at this moment, but they are being palpably felt by others — or they will be. If faith is not forthcoming, grit your teeth and use determination instead, adding stubbornness where it’s needed. Within a week from now, the pressure will almost certainly have subsided. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — You have the capacity to be a force for calm amid the storms of the week ahead, in part because you’re nicely situated at present to channel your energy constructively, including through creative arts if you’re involved in that. Additionally, you bring much-needed maturity and diplomacy to the table. Don’t be surprised if others turn to you for reassurance, compassion or a listening ear, and be ready to offer such help should it be requested. You will almost certainly learn something useful in these encounters, which could guide your own healing and growth process. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Tolerance may be a useful watchword to keep in mind at present. Many people, regardless of their political or moral viewpoints, tend to have difficulty tolerating specific qualities in others. The point of view that everyone is unique, or that there is always some common ground to be discovered, has gone out of fashion, replaced by identifying people with social demographics, with statistics or with abstract ideas. In the week ahead, which many will find tense and some even chaotic, you might do well to remember that we are each different, and yet also all part of the same species. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Acting with entire transparency seems like an impossible standard to obtain at this particular moment; yet it’s one you would do well to aim at. This doesn’t require you to make pointless disclosures to strangers; rather, it initially involves awareness of your personal motives, and then being clear about them where there is an ethical requirement to do so, which includes willingness to listen to any responses you might receive. Be the straight arrow that flies swift and sure in any wind; embrace your passion for truth. This is the side of you that shines brightest. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — One of the problems with our current socioeconomic system is that human beings are not technically viewed as having intrinsic worth; rather, our importance is tied to what we can do. This may be one reason why people are so competitive: feeling one’s significance to be greater than someone else’s means that at least it’s higher than zero. Starting with the premise that everyone has inherent value by virtue of existing would imply a very different culture; yet this idea is fundamentally true. That includes you. Once you recognize this, you will feel much lighter in your mind. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It is not possible to cover every eventuality with strict rules or with statistics. There will always be exceptions, hence the facility for laws to be altered and to allow for individual freedoms. It could be argued that the various permutations of the Golden Rule at times transcend everything else. Grant yourself the right to choose your independent path, irrespective of whomever this might offend — and remember that some people are very ready to be offended. Your existence is more important than anyone’s social norms, comfort or sense of certainty. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Lately, in the service of your mission, you’ve had to confront certain old fears. They might not seem familiar at first glance; they may appear as if they have brand new faces; yet these are more than likely to be the very same you’ve dealt with previously, only wearing different masks. If you notice this, it’s a positive thing, because it means you’ve beaten these adversaries before and can do it again, and more thoroughly. Take courage. You possess more gifts and resources than you realize, and this time you’re working from an excellent vantage point, armed with useful information. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.
