The Difficult Season

By James Jarvis, M.A.

Aries 3/21-4/20
Torn between responsibilities on the job and your significant relationships? The smart choice is to focus on relationship—that’s where your energy is going anyway. Creating peace and harmony with others now will build support for your career goals.

Taurus 4/21-5/21
You may be feeling some dissatisfaction or lack of joy and purpose in your current work situation. Use the contrast of what’s missing to get clear on what would be ideal. Once you’re clear you’ll attract people that can help you get what you want.

Gemini 5/22-6/20
Are you having a hard time being patient with those who can’t keep pace with you intellectually? You are being challenged to learn how to be present, to the point and diplomatic all at the same time. Take a deep breath and just be here now.

Cancer 6/21-7/20
Maybe it’s time to examine how tough that outer shell of yours really is. You are being asked to reveal more of your vulnerability and sensitivity this month. See if your shell is preventing people from getting close or allowing them to nurture and care for you.

Leo 7/21-8/22
You’re caught between being authentic to yourself and the desire to be accepted by others. The thing to remember is you can have both. By not compromising yourself you are acting with integrity and that will be appreciated by everyone.

Virgo 8/23-9/22
Gut level instinct and inner knowing tells you that all is not as it seems. Your challenge is to pay attention to intuitive promptings even if they “rock the boat.” Use diplomacy and your ability to “listen” for the exact words that need to be spoken.

Libra 9/23-10/22
The new moon in Libra on 10/22 emphasizes the need for inner and outer balance. Are you getting enough time to “stop and smell the roses” or are you always on the go? Try to incorporate healing activities that expose you to beauty.

Scorpio 10/23-11/21
Have you been saying to yourself “it’s not fair?” Well, it probably isn’t, but no one will know unless you sort out how you are feeling. Know that bottled-up emotions make you highly reactive to others. De-charging through walks in nature will help.

Sagittarius 11/22-12/20
Your idealism is getting a dose of reality. Sometimes it can be depressing if your cherished ideals and reality don’t match up. This is an ideal time to re-assess and strategize to bring them more in sync.

Capricorn 12/21-1/20
Have you exhausted your emotional reserve? Even Capricorns have a limit to how far they can drive themselves before exhaustion sets in. It’s very important to put your emotional needs first so you can re-fill your cup with what nurtures you.

Aquarius 1/21-2/18
You have the ability to step back and get a broader perspective on your life. Take some time out to still your mind and you will find that new solutions to old problems will surface. New insights that break up old beliefs are the focus.

Pisces 2/19-3/20
The ability to see the best in those around you is heightened this month. Your job is to remind them of their beauty but not to rescue them if they can’t see it for themselves. Some sort of service work would be an excellent outlet for this energy.
