Aquarius
You desperately want to fit in to a group and belong. Unfortunately, you are fated to always set yourself apart and be mistrustful. Social groups do not receive you warmly because of your superior stance. Your karmic path is to feel pulled between a need to belong and for freedom of original thought. The first step towards evolving for you may be as simple as admitting that you feel like an outsider always looking in -- and that deep down you are lonely and unhappy. This may be hard for you to do because you have likely developed an elaborate facade based on the idea that 'being different is cool' and that you are somehow better than everyone else. Or you may be so frustrated trying to function in groups that you have become a follower -- seemingly content to stand back stage. Realize that someone that sees things in a different way can be a valuable contributor to a group -- breaking up the group think and making sure everyone's freedoms are respected.
Pisces
You have difficulty overcoming past experiences that left you hurt or fearful. This residue of painfulness stays with you -- you are unable to get beyond it and learn from the experience. Your karmic path leads to reacting defensively with oversensitivity -- never being able to examine what went wrong and how you could have improved the situation. Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to overcome feelings of paranoia, suspicion and isolation. By accepting your fate less defensively you can turn these traits into assets to balance your personality. Realize that because you cannot learn from past experiences you are open to experience immediate reality more genuinely. By turning the fear around you may find that you can be more 'present' in the moment than others.
Aries
You have a desire to be challenged and experience life to the fullest and yet you are afraid of being hurt by a hostile environment. You may go through life feeling that you will never get want you want -- usually because you never ask for what you want. You are afraid to exert your will because you feel that this alone will result in some harm coming to you. You are either shy and withdrawn or the opposite -- headstrong and in everyone's face. Either way it is fear of failure or even rejection that causes you to react as you do. Your eventual frustration with your own powerlessness can result in an inner search. In an attempt to get beyond your own exterior and understand your will and motivation you will need to overcome your deepest self doubts.
Taurus
You associate security with material gain and have a deep fear of poverty. You either overvalue or undervalue your possessions and assets. Unconditional love is difficult for you because you always expect some compensation for what you give. You usually achieve the trappings of success and yet you are never satisfied. You always want more and more. Your frustration over the inability to buy what you feel you never had may result in your complete rejection of material things. Either way it is a case of all or nothing with you. If you are able to gain understanding that you are actually trying to buy love you could use your skills of accumulation in a more constructive, healthy way.
Gemini
You have difficulty communicating what is on your mind -- usually because you fear being humiliated and doubt your own intelligence and mental capacities. You may try and compensate for this by working very hard at studies. You are deep and intellectual under the surface -- but often what you present is either intolerance and quiet or being over talkative. This usually is because of a fear of new ideas, even your own. If you examine your own motivation closely you might find that you use these things to avoid situations that might require a new outlook. In order to overcome your feelings of isolation you might try to connect more with your own motivation. You could find that your own ideas are completely acceptable, even valuable.
Cancer
You dislike feeling dependent on others and yet you constantly need reassurance because of your own feelings of insecurity. This struggle to be independent and yet be secure can motivate an attempt to buy security. You may have issues with nurturing and also your family responsibilities may be great. You will never feel completely secure however, no matter how much you acquire. This in itself will enable your evolution if you allow it. Once you reach the realization that neither people nor material gain will make you feel secure you can start developing security within yourself. The most difficult thing to realize is that this can be accomplished without the help or support from others.
Leo
Because you undervalue yourself you are afraid that no one else will value you either. And yet this is what you desperately want. Popularity is your goal -- and yet your own inferior attitude continuously sabotages your achieving it. If feelings of jealousy and the inability to act spontaneously don't push people away than it is the cold and callous facade you've developed to protect your own vulnerability. Romance, creativity and children may be an issue in your life too. Your challenge is to connect to and find value with your own core self -- reaching through all of those outward layers you have developed in protection. If you are really able to value yourself you have the chance to recaptured a child-like sense of joy which may have been missing from your serious adult life.
Virgo
Your obsession with perfectionism and order can leave you feeling frustrated and in a rut. You have an almost compulsive attention to detail which may have been learnt from a parent or authority figure. Often times you discourage yourself and others from trying new things simply because they won't be done the way you think they should be. Your karmic path is to always feel trapped within the lines and yet afraid to color outside of them. Fear is the basic motivation behind this desire for order -- it is the only way you know of controlling your environment. If you are capable of overcoming this fear -- letting go of control -- you have a chance of developing an imaginative side where your practicality could become a valuable asset.
Libra
Trying to find in others what is lacking in yourself often results in pain and disappointment. Somehow you always seem to end up with a partner who doesn't quite understand you, who limits and hinders you. The partner you choose may also be somewhat older or have a conservative outlook on life. As a result you may move from one bad relationship to the next, or stay in one relationship and take the role of martyr -- never realizing your true motivation. If you come to terms with the fact that you may not want to fully connect with another -- out of your own fear of intimacy -- there is potential for growth and understanding that you have the capacity of fulfillment within yourself. Your relationship can be source of suffering or of personal growth -- the decision is yours.
Scorpio
Fear of emotional rejection and personal inadequacy result in your trying to overcompensate either financially or sexually. This fear also can manifest itself through self-fulfilling prophesy. You fear being taken advantage of, this is the energy you put out and as a result you often find yourself involved with people who take advantage of you financially and emotionally. On the surface the problems seems purely material but is actually emotional -- and it is this fact that you are usually in denial about. You might try coming to terms with your motivation and stop blaming others. Through self awareness you can break the cycle and you could find yourself not only healing yourself but also those around you.
Sagittarius
You can be so rational and intellectual that it is as if you've got tunnel vision. You manage to reason away any magic right out of your life. Your overall outlook on life is serious, and you may feel that life or God will punish you if you do not watch your step. Through fear and denial against your inner self you can become rather forlorn -- believing in nothing, always cynical and critical. Through disillusionment with authority -- and the subsequent need to establish something new -- can come the development of your own very powerful intuition. If you are in a negative or hopeless situation try to remember that this is part of a greater process -- one that will, if you let go of the fear, result in an evolution.
Capricorn
Success at any price seems to be your motto. The price you usually pay is never being able to relax and enjoy life. Your nose is always to the grindstone -- and amazingly, it seems that you do it all to benefit others. Because you are so persistent you usually achieve your goals and find yourself in positions of authority. But shouldn't you examine the cost? If you want to ever evolve you might try answering this question -- 'Why am I working so hard all the time?' Your family and friends have probably been asking you this for so long it no longer registers. And you might have pushed the answer so far down because the truth just might blow your entire do-gooder image. The answer is fear -- that's right, your need to control your environment so it never gets a chance to control you. You might want to explore your relationship with your mother as well. Who you are isn't bad -- in fact you can make wonderful things happen. You should just be honest with yourself about the motivation.
