ARIES  Mar 21 - Apr 20 

There are different states of mind and of course there are different modes of consciousness - at this time you are in at least some measure of the state of rationalizing consciousness in contradistinction to the intuitive mode of consciousness including "poetic" states of awareness and creativity.  Cognition is the state wherein we know that we know, that is in contrast to having "hunches" or thinking - but not knowing - that this or that state might be the truth.  And in that vanity the accompanying facts are usually wanted on the table in the clear light of day.   One casualty of the cognitive state of consciousness is to try to frame things in black or white terms as if there were no possible grey area or grey constitution.  This is the deliberate state where there is very little room for zombie-type automatic behavior - in other words, the actor knows what he or she is doing or unfortunately, may have to be told same.  In communications definitive thought and speech will be required or expected.  Anything comatose or dreamy, that is less than fully awake and aware, certainly may not fit the circumstances or situation at this time.  Life may ask you to use deliberation at this time and to be more definitive in your decisions and communications.  At the same time though it would behoove you to avoid becoming egotistical as your mind may be tempted to trump your soul based sensitivities currently as the ruler of your character. Using discernment, constructive discrimination and analytical identification would be good but those same "hard nosed" facilities should not repress your emotional attunement to others.  At this time your social role may seem to be or become more clearly defined and therewith you may be able to get a clearer insight as to your self-identification, that is what you are and what your "role" in life might be, including a clearer understanding of what your vocation involves.  Certainly this is a time when life may ask you to exercise responsibility and reliability.  Understanding that one's personal existential (life) dynamics must operate on the reality principal, which principal expresses that one cannot incorporate "everything" into one's life regardless of desire - in other words, living means including or incorporating activities and drives in general such that some "other" drives may have to be excluded in order to allow for the necessary time and energy of those things that are most important.  Of course this also means prioritizing as well as excluding - and those functions obviously imply the need to choose in the sense of fully processing choices.
TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

There is likely to be some degree of confusion in your life now and you may be strongly influenced by unconscious desires.  You may even feel a bit drained due to being pulled down by unconscious drives or quests that are taxing your conscious mind against it's own will.  Activities that you engage in now may take on an element of secretiveness and may even operate in a mode of seclusion.  There may be a need to disguise identities in a manner that maintains your privacy.  If you are a little troubled by a confusion of purposes now then do not be worried that you will miss out on anything because you are not quite able to take deliberate conscious action, rather accept this as a time when life is subtlety introducing a change or two into your life so that your familiar frame of reference is only temporarily "suspended."  Try to relax and accept a little necessary change.
GEMINI  May 21 - June 21


You may experience this period as brings an element of confusion into your working life or career.  This will likely not be the best time to try to make a cognitive, non-intuitive decision and that may be simply due to your not seeing all the elements that should be ultimately considered.  In respect to your working life or career, deception may come into play and thus it may be important to be careful, based on what is only apparent, not to make conclusions too quickly - that is, what is indicated to you may not be the ultimate reality.  If you begin to feel, at moments, a little lethargic or even discouraged about the substance and nature of your work, it is best to ease up a bit and try to relax, let go a bit and get more rest at present - it is not very likely a time in which you will benefit by pushing yourself to an unusual degree, regardless of extra incentives to do so.   Self-identity, perhaps as a result of factors in your working life, as opposed to your more personal life, may become an  issue, so it may be important to keep in mind that what you do is not necessarily your personal essence and therefore equations as to who you are may be falsely drawn at this time if you do try to define yourself through your career or working life.  In respect to your general perception of the world and particularly where decisions are attempted now, it may be best to use your intuition, especially where "logic" or the "rational" perspective regarding decisions doesn't seem to be very facilitating.  In other words your subconscious mind or your intuition may have more significant bearing on what is anticipated in respect to your future.  
CANCER  June 27 - July 23


You will be inclined to explore mystical and spiritual things at this time - the "emphasis" will be on learning.  There will be a tendency to think in idealistic terms and others may find you somewhat distracted now as your imagination may "remove" you to a degree from your immediate surroundings.  You may tend to view things in a more philosophical way now and may see yourself in what you would project to be your ideal state in the future.  Your imagination may take flight at this time by projecting itself in a foreign, exotic country and so there may be some urges to travel now.
LEO  July 24 - Aug 23


Experiences now may test your sense and understanding of your notions of belongingness as you may experience some confusion in respect to who you have either formed bonds with or may have attempted to do so.  If you have identified with another at this time only to be left with a sense of confusion in terms shared common ground and resources then pull away for a time so that you might independently gain greater clarity through your own insight rather than through the lenses of others vision.  It would also be a good time to examine, in your consciousness the motivations behind involvement with others now and that may also pertain to shared assets or resources.  The issue of trust is likely to arise now and it may be more important to use your intuition rather than the messages or feedback that you gain from others with whom you share common ground currently.  Sharing a group identity may be less important now than maintaining your own identity and integrity.  The issue of ownership may bring confusion now in relation to others with whom you share resources - it might be best to make no assumptions and to not make conclusions on the surface level - a clarified and cognitive understanding in respect to common assets in relation to others with whom you relate is probably the best policy at this time as it would tend to counteract any underlying assumptions that may have served to hide other’s motivations left unrecognized.  Real honesty is imperative now.  If you feel that another is crossing his or her boundaries with you then it is probably best to withdraw your engagements with them at this time.  Clarification of your role in a group situation or partnership is important now.  A feeling of a temporary loss of personal identity may occur now, including the inadvertent absorption of another's value system, as opposed to your own – withdrawal, meditation and isolated reflection may serve to help you become self-reoriented.  Be very careful now in respect to any type of physical intimacy as what is presented to you motivationally may not be the truth.  This can otherwise be an idyllic time where you transcend yourself and identify with others in such a manner than you place their needs before your own - but be your own gatekeeper therein and be certain of the motivation and agenda of all parties concerned.
VIRGO  Aug 24 - Sept 23

It is advisable not to believe everything that you are told at this time, in fact you might want to filter everything that comes from others now through a mental reality test.  This means that it would likely benefit you, by virtue of protection, to use as much analysis, rationality and logic in respect to what is indicated to you, in any form, by others who you encounter now.  At best there will be a mild, harmless confusion but at worst you could be intentionally deceived.  Take a second look now, at both what others present or indicate to you and at your own perceptions.
LIBRA Sept 24 - Oct 23


At this time you will likely feel more optimism and inspiration, in relation to things in general.  Your mood will likely be a little elevated and you will be more prone to find humor in your daily experiences.  This is a good time for planning, as your vision of the future is probably more accurate than usual and you are more goal oriented now.  You are also more likely to initiate activities now and to act in a more independent manner.  Self-directed learning may come into play at this time.
