Don’t let a too-emotional outlook take you off course, Sag. Bonaventura Peeters – ‘Fortified Harbour’ c1646 {{PD}}

You and the Collective may not be getting along well this coming Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Sagittarius; is it because you feel that going along with the program may mean you’ll lose your individuality, or is it because it seems that what the group demands precludes you exercising your creativity in the most genuine way possible? In either case, what you think you know about both Collective energy and your own creative options may be an illusion based in emotion, so before you go into full blown escapism or sabotage in protest, re-evaluate–what you may find is that your true power lies in and through relationships, finances, and your ability to negotiate these, specifically because successful interaction with either money or people requires that you recognize the autonomy and integrity of each; with people the benefits of treating them with respect are obvious, while with money, a thoughtful stance means you send your assets to causes and put them behind ideas that represent your ideals, what truly matters to you–and you’ll glean unexpected benefits from such behavior. Take the time to take a second look at what it is you believe about your reality, and then put your energy behind people, money, or both. Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

Gierymski Studio in Munich c1870 {{PD}}

You may go on a creative bender this coming year, dear Sag, through to your next birthday, but this attempt to translate a primal, generative energy into your life scenario may cause a great deal of conflict. It’s something you must do; but you must also be prepared for the way expressing yourself will bring the past, in all its technicolor sturm und drang, to glorious life once again. Relationships could be tough and others might not ‘get it’, making for a potentially lonely year. Understanding how difficult this will be is a good start; knowing that what will eventually emerge from all this will be, in some real sense, your masterpiece, should help you see that the struggle, and yes, pain, will be worth it. Facing those buried issues and claiming your strength, wisdom, and your own Self-respect will gain you the respect of others, and will clear the path to that seminal creative moment–so what are you waiting for? Happy Birthday, Sagittarius, and good luck!

Fernand Khnopff – ‘I lock my door upon myself’ 1891 {{PD}}

Sag, it looks to me as if the feelings you feel this coming year, through to your next birthday, may be contrary to (and judgmental of) your natural inclinations, as well as those things you want to accomplish and be. This internal strife may lock you in place and make it very difficult for you to aim successfully for what you want. The most effective approach may be to ground communications and thought in instinct, and by acknowledging things you might otherwise overlook. It’s what you don’t know about or recognize as important that might trip you up this year; focus the mind on facts, real-world circumstances, and effectively dealing with barriers, and you may strike a note of genius in implementing your Will and in taking action that gets you where you want to go. Happy Birthday, dear Sagittarius, and good luck!

Joining the group can be fun, Scorpio. Boki and Hekili (Kahekili Keeaumoku II) with two unidentified chiefs on the sloop Kamchatka 1818 by Mikhail Tikhanov.

You’ve got some big decisions to make this coming Solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Scorpio, decisions about being Yourself, about going your own way or reconciling yourself to a place in the group, about originality, about Self-respect, about matters you’ve been ignoring, about personal rage at the way you’ve been treated, about what you can do to break away from what ails you, and about how you can gain a complete sense of freedom that allows uncensored expression. That’s a lot to handle, but here are some pointers: don’t confuse just doing whatever you want whenever you want with freedom–they’re not the same; the key to gaining respect from others is to have respect for yourself–and don’t confuse this with reverence for yourself, a humorless stance that takes the Self very seriously; remember that the past is past; recall that you don’t lose who you are by cooperating or being part of the group; and know that things always go better when you face them directly, rather than putting them off and waiting for them to sneak up and catch you at a disadvantage. If you refuse to be wobbly and instead really apply yourself this year, Scorpio, you can make some amazing progress, and learn not just about who you really are, but successfully show others who you are, too. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

Charles West Cope ‘A Night Alarm: The Advance!’ 1871

You’re entering what in some ways may be a deceptively quiet period, dear Scorpio; deceptive because once you emerge from the cottony-dark meditative quiet you’ll be forced to deal with all those issues you’ve been turning away from, just hoping they’ll disappear. Nobody blames you for not tackling them–and knowing they’re ahead needn’t disturb the contemplative state you can enter and enjoy for about 3/4 of the coming Solar year, through to your next birthday. This can be a highly productive time, as your internal world finds its spiritual center and organizes around it–or it could be a period when you wander, lost, hoping for rescue or an obvious signpost directing you . . . where? That’s really the crux of this: that you need to take this time to look inward, come to know yourself in the present, and then choose the course you want to follow when you re-enter (in a sense) the world, because when you do, some serious matters of relationship, rage, and Self-respect will surface–and you need to be ready. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!

Life’s been tough for you lately, Scorpio, but you can put down that sledgehammer now. Utagawa Kunisada ‘Father and Son Members of the Forty-Seven Rônin’ c1850 {{PD}}

Does it feel like someone finally took those lead weights off your ankles, dear Scorpio, or is it more like you’re climbing out of a box? Or maybe it’s like you’ve been kidnapped, made to wear a hood and break rocks with a sledgehammer, and now at last you’ve been released, and are just getting your first glimpse around and breathe of fresh air. No matter what, the pressure, one way or another, is easing, restriction is lifting, and the need for serious, nose-to-the-grindstone effort is morphing into a kind of unexpected strength and bravery to both stand up for yourself and to investigate and handle those things that, up ’til now, were too much for you to deal with. You’re off in a new direction, Scorpio, and many of the things that were holding you back have fallen away–now’s your chance–don’t be afraid to shape your life the way you want it to be. Happy Birthday, and good luck!

A yoke is really a tool that allows you to get twice as much done. Pisanello {{PD}}

Is that the proverbial yoke of oppression you’re wearing, dear Scorpio, or are you just super-disciplined and super-goal-focused right now, with no time to look up from your Herculean labors to flirt or play or even enjoy what you’ve built? You may see-saw between these two viewpoints all through the coming Solar year, through to your next birthday, and one thing’s sure: that won’t be fun. It will be up to you to consciously step back and inject a little spontaneity into things, no matter how unnatural that may feel to you at the time; maintaining a sense of freedom, no matter how big a burden you’re carrying, and no matter how willingly you’ve taken this burden on, is vital to your mental and emotional health, and to your ability to accomplish, as you won’t get anywhere if you believe you’re being buried alive. So, keep your focus on your choices and your ability to have an impact; those will keep you aware of your true freedom, and so keep you sane. Happy Birthday, Scorpio, and good luck!
