Neptune’s Time Warp: Neptune, preparing for next week’s retrograde, dreams forward and backward at once, pondering links of history and destiny. Destiny is like DNA. As interesting as it is to decode, it operates the same regardless of what is known about it. Ask questions if you must, but the answers we seek will be revealed through our actions, not our questions.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
Human concerns may be an infinitesimal point in the cosmic immensity, but a single feeling can feel as heavy as the whole universe inside one person. Forget about scale. If it’s a big deal to you, it’s a big deal, period.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
The stronger stance is always the most compassionate one. Even so, compassion can come in many forms including tender, practical and even stern.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
No need to wait until you have the most comprehensive and up-to-date information because no one else has it either. You’ll learn by doing. Until you apply yourself, you won’t know what you know.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Your project has great significance to others, perhaps fulfilling a wish of one who came before or providing a vicarious thrill for someone who can’t duplicate your success. This is not a burden; rather, it’s extra motivation to succeed.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
You’ve no interest in hollow encouragement. It takes effort to see another person’s talent, and it takes creativity to imagine potentials. These qualities will be woven into the sort of support you give and receive.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)
Pleasant surprises are still surprises. Today you’ll prefer not to be startled any which way, and the precautions you take to guard your leisure and protect your bubble of coziness will make this a relaxing time indeed.
CANCER (June 22 to July 22)
You don’t have to do it all alone. There are many who would be happy to guide you. The trick is in posing the right questions. But even the wrong questions will get you a little closer to what you need, so just ask.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Your feelings are interpretations of events. The events themselves are not good or bad and have no feeling at all until you make one inside you. You can remake feelings inside you too, which you’ll do today.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)
Worry, like the late afternoon sun, can give a long shadow to even very minor things. Conversations with the reasonable and competent will steer you away from unhelpful and distorted perspectives.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 23)
Thinking is harder than it looks, which is why it’s so easy to get lazy and let others do it. Not today. You’ll apply intellectual vigor to stay on top of business and find better deals and arrangements for you and yours
SCORPIO (October 24 to November 21)
When you don’t get what you want the first time, it’s not a sign that you should give up. What’s worth having may come with the price tag of several failed attempts.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21)
It’s good to know that change is coming, though you dislike having change sprung on you at the last second. The excellent communicators who let you know what to expect will win your loyalty.
