♈ ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
Are you still hoping to heal from psychological wounds that you rarely speak about? May I suggest that you consider speaking about them in the coming weeks? Not to just anyone and everyone, of course, but rather to allies who might be able to help you generate at least a partial remedy. The moment is ripe, in my opinion: Now is a favorable time for you to become more actively involved in seeking cures, fixes, and solace. Life will be more responsive than usual to such efforts.

♉ TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
"The delights of self-discovery are always available," writes author Gail Sheehy. I will add that those delights will be especially available for you in the next few weeks. In my view, you're in a phase of super-learning about yourself. You will attract help and support if you make it your quest to explore mysteries that have eluded your understanding. Have fun surprising and entertaining yourself, Taurus Make it your goal to catch a new glimpse of your hidden depths every day.

Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be? How can you guide yourself to be in a position where you know exactly what you want pretty much all the time? For more clues, tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.






♊ GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
Gemini novelist and philosopher Muriel Barbery says, "I find this a fascinating phenomenon: the ability we have to manipulate ourselves so that the foundation of our beliefs is never shaken." In the coming weeks, I hope you will overcome any tendency you have to manipulate yourself in such a way. In my view, it's crucial for your mental and spiritual health that you at least question your belief system—and perhaps even risk shaking its foundation. Don't worry: Even if doing so ushers in a period of uncertainty, you'll be much stronger for it in the long run. New, more robust and complete beliefs are on the way.

♋ CANCERIAN

(June 21-July 22)
In her book Mathilda, novelist Mary Shelley (1797–1851) has the main character ask, "What had I to love?" And the answer? "Oh, many things: there was the moonshine, and the bright stars; the breezes and the refreshing rains; there was the whole earth and the sky that covers it." I bring this to your attention in the hope of inspiring you to make your own tally of all the wonders you love. I trust your inventory will be at least ten times as long as Mathilda's. Now is a favorable time for you to gather all the healing that can come from feeling waves of gratitude, even adoration, for the people, animals, experiences, situations, and places that rouse your interest and affection and devotion.

♌ LEO

(July 23-August 22)
Our memories are always changing. Whenever we call up a specific remembrance, it's different from the last time we visited that same remembrance—colored by all the new memories we have accumulated in the meantime. Over time, an event we recall from when we were ten years old has gone through a great deal of shape-shifting in our memory—so much so that it may have little resemblance to the first time we remembered it. Is this a thing to be mourned or celebrated? Maybe some of both. Right now, though, it's to be celebrated. You have extra power to declare your independence from any memories that don't make you feel good. Why hold onto them if you can't even be sure they're accurate?

*

No one knows you better than you do, but maybe I can help you dig up even more self-knowledge. I'm certainly not an omniscient guru, but I do have some skill at inspiring you to be in intimate contact with your inner teacher. Listen to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.






♍ VIRGO

(August 23-September 22)
In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth in a spacecraft. His flight happened to be the first time that NASA, the agency in charge of spaceflight, had ever used electronic computers. Glenn, who was also an engineer, wanted the very best person to verify the calculations, and that was Virgo mathematician Katherine Johnson. In fact, Glenn said he wouldn't fly without her involvement. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I believe the coming months will be a favorable time for you to garner the respect and rewards that Katherine Johnson got from John Glenn. Make sure everyone who needs to know does indeed know about your special aptitudes and skills.

Wouldn't you love to learn more about who you really are? What better adventure is there than learning about your soul's code? The greatest fun you can possibly have is to be completely yourself. For more hints, listen to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.






♎ LIBRA

(September 23-October 22)
According to an Apache proverb, “It is better to have less thunder in the mouth and more lightning in the hand.” If you act on that counsel in the coming weeks, you will succeed in doing what needs to be done. There is only one potential downfall you could be susceptible to, in my view, and that is talking and thinking too much about the matter you want to accomplish before you actually take action to accomplish it. All the power you need will arise as you resolutely wield the lightning in your hands.

I hope the oracle above provides you with the inspiration you need to do what you've got to do and change what needs to be changed. But if you need more clues -- if you'd like to get further inspiration for your quest to become your best self -- listen to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE, where I go even deeper in exploring your mysteries.






♏ SCORPIO

(October 23-November 21)
To encourage young people to come to its shows, the English National Opera has offered a lot of cheap tickets. Here's another incentive: Actors sing in English, not Italian or French or German. Maybe most enticing for audiences is that they are encouraged to boo the villains. The intention is to make attendees feel relaxed and free to express themselves. I'd love to give you Scorpios permission to boo the bad guys in your life during the coming weeks. In fact, I would love it if you were extra eloquent and energetic about showing your true feelings. In my view, this is prime time for you to show the world exactly who you are.

♐ SAGITTARIUS

(November 22-December 21)
"If we’re not careful, we are apt to grant ultimate value to something we’ve just made up in our heads," said Zen priest Kosho Uchiyama. In my opinion, that's a problem all of us should always be alert for. As I survey my own past, I'm embarrassed and amused as I remember the countless times I committed this faux pas. For instance, during one six-month period, I devoted myself to courting a woman who had zero interest in a romantic relationship with me. I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, because I'm concerned that right now, you're more susceptible than usual to making this mistake. But since I've warned you, maybe you'll avoid it!

Would you like further inspiration as you scheme and dream to make the most of life's sometimes puzzling opportunities? Are you ready to raise your commitment to understanding who you are and how your energy is best expressed? Listen to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.






♑ CAPRICORN

(December 22-January 19)
Capricorn author Asha Sanaker writes, "There is a running joke about us Capricorns that we age backwards. Having been born as burdened, cranky old people, we become lighter and more joyful as we age because we have gained so much practice in wielding responsibility. And in this way we learn, over time, about what are our proper burdens to carry—and what are not. We develop clear boundaries around how to hold our obligations with grace." Sanaker's thoughts will serve as an excellent meditation for you in the coming weeks. You're entering into a ripe new phase of embodying the skills she articulates.

*

What exactly are you looking for? How would you describe the experiences you want more than anything else? What's your purpose here on earth? It's possible my EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE could give you additional help in figuring out more of those mysteries.






♒ AQUARIUS

(January 20- February 18)
As author Denise Linn reminded us, "The way you treat yourself sends a very clear message to others about how they should treat you." With that advice as your inspiration, I will ask you to deepen your devotion to self-care in the coming weeks. I will encourage you to shower yourself with more tenderness and generosity than you have ever done in your life. I will also urge you to make sure these efforts are apparent to everyone in your life. I am hoping for you to accomplish a permanent upgrade in your love for yourself, which should lead to a similar upgrade in the kindness you receive from others.

♓ PISCES

(February 19-March 20)
You have at your disposal a prodigiously potent creative tool: your imagination. If there's a specific experience or object you want to bring into your world, the first thing you do is visualize it. The practical actions you take to live the life you want to live always refer back to the scenes in your mind's eye. And so every goal you fulfill, every quest you carry out, every liberation you achieve, begins as an inner vision. Your imagination is the engine of your destiny. It's the catalyst with which you design your future. I bring these ideas to your attention, dear Pisces, because November is Celebrate Your Imagination month.
