GEMINI
Its not your duty to compensate for others shortcomings. Its nice that you want to help out, but at the same time, you shouldnt feel its your responsibility to pick up the slackespecially if theyre not even aware that theres any slack that needs to get picked up.They might, in fact, need a serious wake-up callwhich means letting them take the flak for the slack they let slide. Step aside, Gemini.Your job is to do your joband let other people do (or not do) theirs.What happens next is, rightfully, out of your hands.
CANCER
You want out, get out. Just own your own reasons for leaving, even if theyre selfish or unflattering. The alternatives are uglier: manipulating the situation so that the other person becomes a villain and you, a victim.Thats not really the case here, if youre honest with yourself, and its hardly fair to anyone involved in or privy to the situation. Owning your feelings or being selfish doesnt need to make you a villain; it just makes you human. Distorting the situation to avoid responsibility for that is actually far more malicious; please avoid doing so.
LEO
Treat the disease, not the symptom. Dont let short-term solutions that make everything nice for now cloud your judgmentthose will come around to bite you in the ass a little further down the line. Find a resolution that takes the big picture into account. Even though that might lead to more conflict and uncomfortable situations now, its better for all concerned in the long run. Swallow your pride, ignore your discomfort, and do the right thing right away, even if it involves conflict and unpleasantness.These issues need to be resolved anyway, sooner or later.You should know that sooner, in this case, would be far betterand ultimately less painfulthan later.
VIRGO
Jealousy in more than the mildest dose is not flattering. Nor is making yourself unbearable, creating rules or generally making your partner or friend less than he or she could be.You need to back off and remember your role is to be supportive, not restrictive, and magnanimous, not vindictive. If you really cant trust your companion enough to let yourself be those things, youre in the wrong relationship. Its better you figure that out now before you become someone youd have trouble being friends with. Get out, if you have to, or let yourself be the trusting, generous friend I know you can be. Anything in-between would probably be a waste of time.
LIBRA
Whats right is right, regardless of the crap being thrown at you. Dont let the disapproval of misguided strangers cramp your style, and certainly dont allow someones poor judgment to change who you are, even temporarily. While its okay to take others perspectives and opinions into account, youre far too susceptible to making broad alterations based entirely on avoiding others condemnation or scorn.This week, stand strong in yourself and the choices youve made.That doesnt mean being stubbornly inflexible in the face of great resistanceit does mean, however, not bending to the slightest breeze.
SCORPIO
I cant stand wearing rings. Sometimes, I forget this and end up buying myself onewhich soon enough joins other neglected rings that Ill almost never wear. Even though this is a longestablished preference of mine, somehow it can still occasionally slip my mind, or I can convince myself that this one will be different. It wont. If you find words like those echoing in your head, deny them.You know who you areat least in this particular case. Fooling yourself will almost certainly be a waste of time, energy and even money, and will ultimately end up being a review of a lesson you quite simply already knew.
SAGITTARIUS
Being consistently real and frank is frequently more work than just saying what people want to hear. If youre a complex person, most of the time youll have mixed feelings about a person or situation, and of course it takes more effort to clearly describe those varied, layered emotions than it would to just let them think something more unequivocal. However, certain people really deserve more than an artificial black/ white scenario; a more nuanced and authentic response is in order, even though it involves more effort from you.Take the time to fill them in on the big, complicated picture this week.
CAPRICORN
You do know better than most everyone else. But dont get cocky.You still dont know everything, and you can always learnif youre open to it. The most surprising thing is that youre more likely to get insight from someone whos actually relatively clueless overall than from a fellow expert, whos unlikely to offer anything new. Out of the mouths of babes may very well be this weeks theme. Listen to those you might usually dismiss. They are clueless, and much of what they say will probably be rubbish. Its your job this week to be compassionate about that, and to tease out the pearls of wisdom you could discover no other way.
AQUARIUS
It feels good to get all caught up on the things youve been slacking onwhether thats washing the dishes, doing your homework or making the kinds of romantic gestures that keep sparks flying. Life intervenes sometimes, and makes us put some of this stuff by the wayside while we attend to crises or other problems that have cropped up. But its important to pick it back up the next chance we getif we dont, someone will notice.This week, you have time and opportunity to pursue (and perhaps even conclude) neglected tasks. Dont squander it.
PISCES
While you wish you could be loved for all your faults (affectionately dubbed foibles), thats just not the case.The fact is, most of your less endearing traits are something to be tolerated, not celebrated. People will put up with them because you have so many stellar qualities, but dont expect them to put you up on a pedestal for all the things you do that dont really make you shine. Holding out for some ideal person wholl simply love everything about you is foolish and foolhardy especially when there are people who love enough things about you to patiently put up with the rest.
ARIES
Its okay to slack off and have some fun when theres an unexpected cancellation or opening in your scheduleor you break up with someone, or lose a job, etc However, its all too easy to submerse yourself entirely in purposeless playtime and not get anything constructive done. Start being more proactive.You have a lot of shit just simmering on the back burner. Pull some of it up and see if you can get somewhere with it.You have so many ambitions and usually so little time.This week, dont spend any surprise extra moments concocting new goals instead, pursue some of your longstanding ones.
TAURUS
Where theres smoke, theres fire. So goes the saying, anyway. However, dont imagine a raging forest fire when its just a lit match. Sparks fly all the time, and sometimes they smolder a little before they go out.You could, of course, spend all your time hoisting a fire extinguisher and putting things out before they ever get going. But I can assure you that nothing is more likely to keep sparks from flying in your direction.You have a choice here:You could be the loving life of the party, in which case youd have nothing to worry about, or you could be the wet blanket whose jealousy or paranoia keeps anyone from having fun. It should be obvious which is the preferable paradigm.astrology@gmail.com.
