Theme Intense times demand a compassionate response

Aries Some good news in the wind after a trying few weeks with head-winds. A new cycle is beginning - so cycle forward! Continue to work on health and well-being.

Taurus Making time for study is an opportunity for expanding the mind. If the opportunity is there take it and make it possible – and be creative with what study entails for you.

Gemini When home life feels too intense plan short two and fro journeys from home. There is nothing like a journey sometimes to help you unwind and contemplate new truths.

Cancer Experiment and see if you can improve any family ties through small but powerful means. It could be a kind thought or a ‘thinking of you’ card. Or simply a candle lit for their well-being.

Leo Security is obviously not just a material thing. So how can you strengthen your sense of security through practices which give you a sense of internal security and happiness?

Virgo There is more possibility now of articulating your life-direction – a compass point of possibility that directs you to a new course direction that is in your hands.

Libra It is your birthday-month. So it’s a time to renew your path for the coming year. It is okay to start out in retreat before you step forward into a new birth-year especially as there is still a lot happening internally.

Scorpio There is an opportunity to see more clearly what is going on dynamically in any group-activity you’re participating in. It’s also an opportunity to be futuristic in your planning.

Sagittarius The heat is being slowly turned down in vocational pots of hot water! Thankfully. The question is how can you capitalize on all this activity and move forward productively.

Capricorn It’s a time to stand up and be counted in a world that really needs every ounce of compassion. How can you make a difference in the world you live in? How can you inspire others?

Aquarius Not that anything is going to happen soon – but it’s always wise to have your affairs in order. It’s just another form of house-keeping. Healing friends can offer a helping hand at this time.

Pisces Friendships of all kinds are open for inspection. Sometimes people are like pumice – helpful for certain things but not for all things! It helps at this time to articulate to yourself more clearly what your needs for certain kinds of friendships actually are.
