CANCER JUNE 22-JULY 22

Although you seem destined to go on feeding the thousand hungry mouths that are never satisfied and that give back little in return, Saturn in your 12th house is telling you to escape them all for a bit of welldeserved rest. Fortunately, the universe is poised this month to grant you a reprieve. However, even if you could step into a machine and beam yourself over to a hassle-free world for good, you could never be content just dangling your feet in cool water and taking tea and toast served by a gorgeous nurse. It does sound good, though, doesn’t it?

LEO JULY 23-AUG. 22

After what you’ve been through over the past few years, you should be accustomed to catastrophic changes in your relationships. The good news is that reversals can also work in your favor, as you will discover before summer kicks into high gear. With so much llth-house activity lighting up your solar chart, it’s possible that the life of freedom you have been yearning to lead for so long may finally become a reality in the snap of God’s fingers. Imagine: a day without crushing responsibilities. Then your biggest job would be to figure out what to do with yourself.

VIRGO AUG. 23-SEPT. 22

Opportunities that you could have sworn had long ago gone kaput could be resurrected suddenly through the positively divine intervention of aspects between your 6th house and an elevated Jupiter in your solar midheaven. In fact, this should be one hell of a successful month for your career. In the areas of health and home life too, the angels up above just may give you a break. If some people here on earth start to treat you like a diva, however, remember that you were born and bred to serve humanity. Don’t get a big head. You are still a Virgo.

LIBRA SEPT. 23-OCT. 23

Jupiter is now transiting your 9th house, which is truly one of the most beneficial things it can do for you in the course of its 12-year cycle. Your consciousness is lifted and your perspective grows. You find yourself imbued with creative inspiration and loving feelings toward everyone—even children who have been impossible to control. The most positive effect of this moment is that your rage level sinks to an all-time low, and for you that’s news. The trick will be to hold on to this feeling of serenity once the euphoria wears off. And don’t worry—it will.

SCORPIO OCT. 24-NOV. 21

B If a once-in-a-blue-moon chance to take a quantum leap forward ⅞⅛.' and make a revolutionary change in your living situation comes around, should you take it or should you pass? You’re not the type to draw “Get out of Jail Free” cards very often, but trying to improve your quality of life by raising the stakes of the game could put you deep in debt, and that would be stupid. One could argue that you already have everything you need, but a quick look at your horoscope reveals that when planets are transiting your 8th house you’re as hungry as a coyote. Maybe even hungrier.

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21

Despite the brave resistance you have been putting up to the ever growing pressure to deepen your commitments and increase your involvement in complex relationships, all your kicking and screaming can’t stop that very thing from happening. In your defense, however, it is tough to continue fighting for your independence when the people you are trying to avoid getting mixed up with (and controlled by) are the same souls who keep offering you lots of fun, fun, fun. But take this friendly little word of advice: look at the price tag.

CAPRICORN DEC.22-JAN.I9

l Some Capricorns have spent the last two years doting on babies or * ijr pouring out their hearts in bursts of creative expression. Unfortunately, many others have merely had their hearts broken. Although it may not be romantic, from now on good fortune will come in the form of work. Don’t groan. Your purse will be fattened substantially through Jupiter’s influence on your 2nd house, and the security you glean from regularity and consistency will stabilize you emotionally. You have to be healthy enough to benefit from all this, though, so please stop eating all that crappy food.

AQUARIUS JAN.20-FEB.I8

Be proud of yourself. Just a few months ago you were holed up like one of America’s Most Wanted, peering out the window and gathering the family around you for protection from a world that got scarier by the minute. Now you’re actually dancing again. It’s a blessing when you’ve got enough going for you that you can bet the farm on a life force which until recently seemed to be working against you. Although you certainly don’t want to blow your whole wad on a stupid gamble, you are ruled by Uranus, so what the hell?

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20

I There have been many compelling reasons for you either to go nuts from the pressure or to fold up your tent and quietly move off to some deserted place where the politics of living can’t defeat you. When you hang in there, though, your inner turmoil can vanish in the wink of an eye. Where you were once quivering with insecurity, you can now feel tranquil in the understanding that thoughts are merely evanescent shadows flitting across the screen of the human mind. Let’s hope that lofty notion helps you work out your father issue. You’ve got a whopper.

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19

With Freedom of such expression a and busy physical mind, mobility you mean need a to lot feel to comfortable you. speaking honestly and openly, and since you are the restless type, you have to be able to come and go as you please without fearing that somebody will give you a hard time about it. Even if, back before your liberation and enlightenment, you allowed yourself to become an attention-seeking, beaten-down wuss, those days are over. From now on there will be no need to account for every breath you take. Or very little, anyway.

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20

When capricious Lady Luck finally blows on your dice (and if she hasn’t already, you can bet the last dollar you’ve got stashed in the coffee can that she will), your faith in humanity, in your career, and most of all in yourself will be gloriously restored. A rather rare trine aspect between Jupiter and Uranus from your 2nd to your 10th house portends a surprising windfall. While today this event may trigger in you a blast of good-natured but manic generosity toward others, Saturn’s presence is likely to temper your zeal with a healthy fear of tomorrow.

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 21

Although you’ll never completely shed your breezy, easygoing demeanor, you are undergoing a strange transformation. Despite your uncanny knack for being able to dance your way out of danger and perform llth-hour magic tricks, a darker version of yourself is beginning to emerge as the ruler of your solar 8th house enters Gemini. In order to take greater control of your life you have to assume more responsibility. And as you become older, deeper, and wiser, you may even gain some sexual maturity. Heavens! Is Peter Pan reaching puberty at last?
