PLANETARIUM MICHAEL LUTIN

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21

Relationships are complicated even under ideal conditions, but they get more dicey when people who are normally cool and laid-back start getting possessive. That's just what can happen when the asteroid Ceres in your sign opposes Juno in your solar 7th house. Uncertainty about the future can make even highly conscious people act all clingy and insecure. Be real, though. If you're living on an emotional fault line, is your home life likely to be peaceful? Knowing you, you'll deny everything.

CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19

While you may still be dealing with the last few degrees of Chiron's transit of your sign, take comfort in your extensive support network of glass-half-full people, who will help drag you out of your darkened cave. Your ruling planet's retrograde motion in your solar 8th house can make you feel less than alive. That is precisely why you need to listen to those who have lived through it and can laugh about it now, even if you can't yet.

AQUARIUS JAN. 20-FEB. 18

,V Provided you have developed a sensitivity to other people and have learned to negotiate relationships, both business and personal, you should be squealing with delight over the professional opportunities that lie before you and the financial windfalls that are set to drop in your lap. There's a hitch, though. Try as you might to deny it, Chiron's approach toward your sign is giving you the heebie-jeebies and causing you to wobble from elation to despair. Whatever you do, do not try to control anybody now—other than yourself.

PISCES FEB. 19-MARCH 20

When you're distracted by 9,000 other things, work can be a total drag, and it doesn't help much to be told that doing your job can anchor you during emotionally turbulent times. Still, it's true. Even the crummiest menial tasks will sharpen your focus now. As the ruler of your solar 12th house begins moving forward in Pisces, you've got more adrenaline flowing than a big-league slugger on steroids. While it is impossible to determine the source of this hormonal rush, one thing is certain: you're out of your cotton-pickin' mind.

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19

Only an Aries can go bitching and moaning through the jungle of life and make it across without a scratch. And what a jungle it is. Those close and dear to you should cut you slack if you're erratic, forgetful, and generally wacky. You've had just about all you can take of Chiron in your midheaven. Between your desire to run away to an island where the idiots at work can't find you and a touch of performance anxiety, the strain has been great. Until the planetary pattern improves, remember this: regular sex can be a fabulous outlet.

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20

The house seems different now, doesn't it? When a planet stops moving at the bottom of your solar chart, you can't help thinking about the past anytime you're at home. The holidays you spent there, the people who sat around the table—even your parents come to mind. Before you get too weepy, though, open up to the people who are in your life today. They can bring you back into the present, where you need to be. Take note: there's someone nearby who can dry your tears and coax you into bed.

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 21

You're usually such a casual person. Although you've been involved with control freaks, you need your freedom and you're able to grant it to others. In fact, you always have your side relationships (not necessarily sexual) that help relieve the stress of being with just one person. The asteroid Juno is making you unusually possessive, however, and it's unclear if there is real competition or you're just in an insecure period. Two things are apparent: work is certainly cooking, but your communication skills are way off. Why are you scared to talk?

CANCER JUNE 22-JULY 22

Love life is good. Your heart is open. Kids are well, and you have a healthy outlet for your creativity and your need

to express affection, sexually and otherwise. That's due to Jupiter in your solar 5th house, which helps relieve the pressure of dealing with a lingering former relationship and the financial burdens imposed by it. Uranus direct in your 9th house, meanwhile, lets you travel to new places or explore high levels of consciousness, even without drugs.

LEO JULY 23-AUG. 22

Try not to slam people over the head when they tell you to lighten up and have a sense of humor. When Saturn stops ■* moving in your sign, you're angry, busy, trapped, and loaded down with responsibilities you're scared you can't handle. You can and you will—mainly because there's no way out. Besides, with Uranus going direct in your 8th house, there are a million chances for you to vent your frustrations via liberating sexual behavior. It would have to be in secret, naturally, since you're still so determined to appear normal.

VIRGO AUG. 23-SEPT. 22

When Ceres enters your 4th house, the unconscious urge to mother people is so strong that if you're not careful you'll wind up in the maternity ward next summer. Also, Saturn in your 12th house gets you yearning for intimate connection, which makes you a target of everyone from needy narcissists to scruffy hitchhikers. You have to be emotionally generous, however, to loved ones who come and go and think you should always be there with open arms. If you're hot for the glamorous and unstable, what else can you expect?

LIBRA SEPT. 23-OCT. 23

You love the excitement of freelance work, so don't sweat the fact that it cannot be totally secure right now. In fact, say good-bye to all the fiscal agony you put yourself through last year. The money picture always gets brighter when Jupiter enters your 2nd house. Munificence can be dangerous, though, especially when Saturn is in your 11th house, increasing your vulnerability to people even as it reduces your ability to relate to them. Try to restrain yourself when panhandlers give you that lost-dog look.

SCORPIO OCT. 24-NOV. 21

What in the world has come over you? You seem to be getting bolder by the minute these days, exchanging your habitually guarded demeanor for the naked expression of your feelings. In fact, with Uranus going direct in your 5th house and Jupiter transiting your sign, you're whistling "Anything Goes" and probably revealing a heck of a lot more than a glimpse of stocking. Creatively, this is the moment to uncork your genius. One word of caution: with Saturn going retrograde in your midheaven, just don't get yourself arrested.
