The Sun aligns with Eris, helping us focus on our individual roles within our respective groups. With both planets squaring Jupiter in Capricorn, we're challenged to balance our personal ambitions with collective goals.
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Wondering where you really belong while climbing the ladder of success can be confusing. Making new friends who can help your career is important – not to replace old friends, but all the better to help them with your new advantages.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): To find yourself, you first have to be lost, or at least to feel lost. Assisting others who are more clearly lost will help you get your bearings. You're seeking new ideas, but you should look instead for old ideas that are new to you.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): Someone in your group of friends wants to be more than friendly. That could even fulfill a longstanding desire, but any such fun will likely disrupt your common group of friends – maybe for the better, but probably not. Think first!
CANCER (June 21 – July 22): Making useful connections can leave you feeling a bit out of your element. Your partner may feel more like a drag on your new opportunities for ascension, but is actually helping you to stay grounded and real.
LEO (July 23 – August 22): There are always better ways to do any task. Of course, you do your best. Learning from experts and peers can help you make your best even better. Feel free to argue respectfully in order to draw out more information to work with.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Your queer community could be a rich source of creative opportunity. The question, really, is how you choose to play. You can fit in eros, arts, hobbies, and sports in ways you'd never imagined. Effort is required, but will be amply rewarded.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Your primary relationship provokes interesting questions about what type of family grouping you come from, what kind you seek, and what kind you replicate despite your best efforts. Your roots could offer assets you'd never imagined.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Imagine yourself a labor leader, and write up your demands for better conditions. Now, with or without a union, what can you do yourself to improve working conditions? Diet and hygiene could make a good starting point.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): As an independent thinker, you may have trouble with teamwork. Think pragmatically about what others offer and how you can mesh with them most effectively. Your playful instincts and strong sense of initiative work best when balanced by a practical focus on shared goals.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Your hard work makes you a more important part of your community than you realize. By continuing your efforts on behalf of community aims, and setting aside your personal ambitions – just for now – you can become an effective power behind the scenes.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): You can gain amazing spiritual insights by spending time with sports, children, and other sources you might normally consider too simple to heed. Don't complicate things with intellectual analysis. Real spiritual insights are inevitably very simple.
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Everyone has unique ideals of friendship. Yours are clashing with those of some of your best friends. It could be a learning experience rather than a real problem. Let go of the drama, and it could deepen your friendships.
