Neptune Direct; Illusions Fade: Socializing is a live performance. Social media is more like a digitally distributed performance that allows for retakes until you get it exactly perfect. Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, will now change direction reminding us that what is on the surface may be very different indeed from what is at the core.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

Friends want to influence you. Ultimately your leisure will be the most satisfying when you choose your own pleasures instead of accepting the ones that are imposed on you. You’ll be glad you were assertive in this regard.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

Don’t waste time in stringing and restringing your instrument or you’ll never get the chance to sing the song. Strum what you have and harmonize accordingly. Just because a thing is a little off doesn’t mean it won’t work.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

You can’t help what other people say but you can ignore it. When bad behavior gets a big audience, it sends a mixed message to the one who committed the misdeeds. You’re careful not to pay attention to things that don’t honor or require your attention.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

There’s a point in which knowledge is not useful, and maybe even wasteful as it clogs the arteries of emotion. What helps the situation won’t be knowing more but feeling more. Receptivity is an art, and you’re a masterful artist.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

You’ll tend to what matters. Knowing what falls into this category is the tricky part for most people, but not for you. You have a sense about what you need most now and what is going to have lasting impact. Opportunities await.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

Your first instinct may not be the one that’s for the highest and best, but maturity has you pausing to consider the other answers instead of rushing in or jumping to conclusions as a younger person might.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

It’s better to figure things out for yourself now. You might make mistakes, but those will be your lessons, and they are far more valuable than what you’ll achieve following someone else’s prescription.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

You’ve already seen a fair share of outcomes on the tried-and-true route. Boredom could cause you to take a novel path. Not knowing what to expect is the thrill that sharpens your senses and quickens your reflexes.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

You were born with qualities and traits, but they are far less significant than the ones you made. You are once again deciding who you want to be, and it will be so much fun exercising your right to create yourself.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

To be able to give generously to those you love is a luxury only affordable to those who have extra. Whatever quantity you have extra of, you give it abundantly and thereby know what it’s like to feel rich.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

It’s far better to go solo than to be in bad company. When you’re alone, you have options. You can survey the room and figure out who looks interesting to you and where you’d most like to fit in.

SAGITTARIUS

(November 22 to December 21)

Good things, when taken to excess, become bad things. There’s a certain range to stay inside of now and it’s wide enough that it shouldn’t be a problem for you, as long as you are aware of the limits.
