D  e  s  e  r  t     E  x  p  o  s  u  r  e  May 2005

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)—One of the deepest challenges humans face these days is having compassion for themselves. Belittling, minimizing or just plain not acknowledging the impact the transgressions of others has on us is not the path of light. We must care about our precious hearts and acknowledge our hurts when they happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)—You are in your element as life picks up speed, Gemini. You are always well equipped to adapt to changing circumstances and even thrive there. Life opens up and brings in new opportunities for shaking things up and breaking loose anything stagnant. You become more awakened and alive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)—It is crucial that you acknowledge the effects of others upon your sense of self and upon your sense of freedom to do what you want in life, Cancer. You are well aware of opposition that comes toward you, but you must listen to what you are hearing and take action to protect yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)—Ah, the beauty of your own soul is quite a sight to behold, Leo. You are a glorious being and now life presents the sweetest opportunities to you so that you come to realize this truth again. When we are granted the gift of knowing how beautiful we are, all life makes sense.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—This is a time of renewal for you, Virgo. In ways, you have completed your course and have a new view of life that is refreshing and holistic and calming. Your aptitude for thoroughness can lead you into such deep exhaustion that you jump with joy at the opportunity to simply feel hope and excitement at the possibilities you behold in the midst of a new beginning.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)—You are stronger than you know, Libra. All of your flexibility has led you into a deep awareness of your own convictions. You know how you feel about things and you sit strongly there now. This is the upside of considering all the other viewpoints you are exposed to. It motivates you in the end to hold a space for your own philosophical seat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)—We all benefit from the good that genuine emotional support offers to all those involved in the real exchanges. You are deep and therefore capable of holding space for others to be the same and to feel safe existing authentically with another human being. Is there anything better in life?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—While society dictates the virtues of shallowness, you say go deep! Who we are and what we are capable of is profound and seldom seen or honored. You go about your life inviting this forward in those lucky enough to know you. You evoke the loveliness to come to the forefront by simply loving people.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)—All we have to do is look out at the global picture to know without a doubt that unquestioned authority is a bad thing. You consider this now, Capricorn. You have the gift of knowing the power and the nature of authority more than others and so it becomes your responsibility to show us how to work with this energy in the highest possible ways.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)—Too much of even a good thing—anyway, whatever you indulge in now can turn sour if you go even just a bit too far, Aquarius. This is a great time to remember that getting up and out and even taking a walk around the block can shake off just about anything and clear the air and clean out your mind. The smallest actions have the highest payoff now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)—You know what you know and that is all you need to know now, Pisces. You are awakened from your tendency to merge and find yourself compelled to define yourself with sternness and clarity. You alter your world by demanding that what you know be respected and delineated and honored.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)—Even Aries need to slow down from time to time in order to take notice of what is in their space. There are energies interfering with you that only time out for quiet and contemplation will make obvious enough for you to see. Conscious awareness of the conversations you have in your mind will reveal the nature of any interference.
