| Aries — Communication will be difficult during this period especially if you insist on having your way. This is not a time to be headstrong and demanding or you will meet with great resistance and chaotic reactions. Try to develop more patience and connect to others in a more compassionate manner. Listen with an open mind and heart so that you can resist immediate reactions which interfere with communications. Keep your pioneering spirit while maintaining mindfulness. Taurus — Your nerves seem to be on edge and you have reactions that are not typical of you, so beware of those around you who might read your energy with some confusion. It is like you have sensory overload and cannot seem to settle down and get a grip on what is occurring. Rest and dietary disciplines are called for at this time to enable you to physically handle the stressors. Gemini — Too much is on your plate right now, so confusion and scattered attention are bugging your efforts. Try to organize your thinking in a way that can help you stay with your aims and goals. Remember to nurture yourself in ways that settle your nerves and keep you focused. Watch and observe how you get distracted especially by those who are not part of your plans for the moment. You can accomplish a great deal during this time but an extra focus is necessary. Cancer — You might find that your sensitivities have gotten the best of you lately and so you need to watch your sensitive reaction to others and make sure that you are not being so subjective in your observation. Learn to watch others with compassion and remove yourself from the equation. Your family will find many things to need right now, but you need to help them become more independent and solve some of their problems. Leo — Career demands and goals are causing you to feel more and more responsible for daily activities and organization. It is time for disciplines and structures to stay in place. This is a time where you can get overwhelmed with what has to be done around your work and career. You need assistance and you also need to guide that assistance to work for you and not against you. Control issues are very entangled in this process. You must remember to control yourself but not take control of others. |
| Virgo — Taking care of health, diet and daily activities will aid you in getting through this period of planetary activities. No grandiose moves on your part will eliminate the stressors so you will have to find ways to rest, settle down, organize your environment so that you can remain calm and purposeful in your activities. Boundaries and clarity will help you become more aware of staying within your own framework. You are service-oriented, but first, you must remember to serve yourself before trying to serve others. |
| Libra — Partnerships are iffy at this point, however, you have the energies to focus and complete many of your projects and aims in a manner that suits you and your needs. Money is an issue during this retrograde period. Watch your budget closely, you will come out the better for it. You will find that you gain energy when you discipline yourself to act independently without depending on a partner in relationships. You might do better than your friends during this period. |
| Scorpio — Watch your intensity during this time and don’t make things more difficult for yourself by buying into the chaos around you. Take care to use your intense psychic ability to figure things out and take action only when it benefits you and not to solve someone’s chaotic world. You have enough on your plate so that you can achieve the goals ahead for this month without worrying about someone else and how they can survive this cosmic circus! You can only accomplish your own goals, not someone else. |
| Sagittarius — Aim high and stay focused on what brings you joy in life. Don’t get distracted by other people’s drama and then find that you have not attained the goals you set for yourself. Watch your distractions, disciplines, and immediate environment so that you can get clues of how to move forward and keep your eyes on future movement rather than resenting the past and issues you can no longer solve. Worrying about something doesn’t accomplish much of anything. Again, aim high! |
| Capricorn — It is time to be practical and focused on your disciplines and planning for the future. You cannot expect others to be as practical and disciplined as you are so you don’t want to create problems because others are not following your demands. Let the consequences fall where they may and you keep your nose to that great Capricorn grindstone. Keep your focuses clear and steady without criticism and blame and you will feel a great peace with yourself. |
| Aquarius — You are learning some hard lessons these days around friends, intimate relationships, and the way you have handled your routines and goals. It is mind-boggling what you have achieved in your humanitarian influence, but you must focus on your personal life and start claiming responsibility for your daily needs. Fill in what is missing and be creative in the future as to your needs and survival issues. There are some life lessons in relationships these days, so pay close attention and tend to what is needed. |
| Pisces — Paying attention to survival needs will be important during this retrograde period, i.e. health, work, communication, etc. This is also an important time to look at your budget closely and see what you need to make plans for the future. There is a resistance to looking closely and analyzing each step you take. This time you are going to be forced to do so or there will be consequences in the future. You cannot afford to be idealistic at this point in your life. Dr Gwynne Mayer |
