Aries
Is there a quick exit you can take when you’ve done what you can to get out of something you don’t want to be involved in? Okay, so no quick exit. Some really serious thinking must be done. Love matters obsess you lately. You see the place but it’s hard to get there.

Taurus
You find yourself rising to the occasion and actually managing to make it through some pretty tough-to-take events. But of course, you are a lot stronger than you realize and though life seems so incredibly hard, especially at the moment, it is no match for a superhero like you.

Gemini
It’s coming time to let the piece finally be cut away. It’s been dangling for far too long and it’s becoming a problem. Let it go so that the two can grow individually stronger. You’re not doing anyone any favors but keeping it there — it just tangles in everything.

Cancer
Work has you at sixes and sevens — but you’re glad to have something to keep your mind off that which you cannot bear to think about. Maybe it’s time to downsize to keep the worries at bay. You can always upsize again when things calm down, right?

Leo
It’s a time for beginnings and endings — a time to celebrate those who are hitting certain milestones and others who are just starting out. Acknowledging these stages is as important as living through them. Life will continually surprise you and those close to you. It’s a beautiful thing, really.

Virgo
A memory of an old love keeps you from letting go and getting on with your life. That person, you must accept, doesn’t exist. The memory is powerful, yes, but it has been animated in your mind — the reality will always be different. Perfection is unattainable unless you change the definition.

Libra
Reaching out to grab someone who is in danger of toppling over the edge could help you solve a fear you have buried beneath the surface. You can’t make things ride a steady wave of happiness or success — but you can learn how to surf when the waves aren’t steady and how to tread water and avoid the sharks.

Scorpio
You get tangled up in the idea that if you can’t do something great you shouldn’t do it at all. The truth is, of course, that you can do things halfway and do them well. Greatness may be the ultimate goal - but maybe compromise and goodwill will do for now.

Sagittarius
Contacts and communications are jammed this week. Translations are necessary. A project you started weeks ago and abandoned could use some attention. It’s like riding a bike. Baby step back to the beginning. Think of it in stages. If you aren’t where you once were, that’s okay.

Capricorn
Once you let go of something be satisfied with your choice to do so. Don’t bog down in past actions you can’t change. You made the right choice and did so with your heart. What could be better? Besides, you have a whole new life waiting for you on the other side.

Aquarius
Re-examine your career choices and get yourself unblocked. You place strong obstacles in your path which keep you off the grid. You have many skills and once you put them to use you’ll have more to work with in terms of money and freedom. Begin to realize your lifelong dreams.

Pisces
There is more than one way to skin a cat. Think outside the box and choose different tools — you have many at your disposal and many friends who will help out when the going gets rough. You must resist the urge to isolate yourself because you feel unaccepted by the mainstream.
