Week of November 20

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19) Settling for less is stupid. You know this better than anyone. Levels of hypocrisy fool us all into taking the low road. If this isn’t exactly the way you want it to be, don’t talk yourself into thinking it’s all you can expect.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20) The urge to split isn’t a bad thing. And there’s more than one way to take off. Being yourself is the only thing that matters and you can do that anywhere. Give your self permission to be who you are. You’re loved ones won’t have a problem with it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This’ll end when you let it go. Fear keeps you here. As the operative force, it will only create more of the same. Trust that your heart’s desire won’t put you in the poorhouse. You’ll be better off if you follow it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You should know better than to rush this. The tendency to give everything more credit than it deserves is a reflection of your lack of self worth. This is not what it’s cracked up to be. If you jump on it, you’ll sell yourself short.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take it easy. This is no time to be cracking the whip. Get into things that let you be creative and hang out with people who make you happy. The energy you get from lightening up will infuse the rest of your life with inspiration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) In dire need of a new perspective, you’re stuck in more ways than one. Getting out of the box would help. If a trip to who knows where seems frivolous, know that there are valuable lessons to be gained whenever we change the scenery.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Taking on other people’s stuff weighs you down. You can’t make what they have to deal with themselves any easier. If this is about trying to appear like a nice guy, stop needing to prove it; you’re already too nice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) The sense that it’s too late to change your life is crazy. You’re itching to fly away from this but your security trips deny the possibility. What a shame; if you can’t let that stuff go you’ll miss a major opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) After playing the savior, you’re wishing that someone would come along to save you. Luckily the space is opening up for you to save yourself. More time to relax is part of this. Lighten your load and get back to things that have meaning.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Breaking free is at the top of your list right now. Stuck doing the same old thing, you’re wondering how soon you’ll be out of here. Energetically you’re already gone. Be patient. This will be over soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Before you invest in anything, make sure it’s what you want. There’s no sense putting all your eggs into things that have no substance. If this looks good, ask yourself if it’ll still have value, or be there for you when times get tough.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) You worry too much. With all your troubles, you’re missing the point. Life always reflects what we put into it. If things feel tough, obsessing over it will only make it worse. Stop with the negativity. It feeds on itself.

Your money concerns are major. You’re so tied up in the system you’ve gotten trapped in it. This is all the result of thinking more is better. It’s time to simplify and go back to basics. Keep only what you need and sell the rest.
