Post-11/11

Most days we don't wake up with a profound sense of the human condition, which is seemingly to be drawn out of nothing, engulfed in infinity and uniquely aware of it. Yesterday's 11/11 Scorpio new moon opened a window to fresh spiritual horizons and touched on our utter and extreme insignificance. Still, this life is yours to do something with.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The wonderful thing about being assigned work you don't want to do is that your efforts to procrastinate will lead you to accomplish dozens of less-offensive tasks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your influence is significant, and yet it is also limited. All journeys come to a point at which there is nothing more to be done that will affect the outcome and you must gracefully surrender to the fates.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While part of you asks, "What am I doing with my life?" the bigger part of you is living it moment by moment, responsibility by responsibility, day by day. Right now, that part of you can do without all of the pondering.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Freud suggested there are no jokes. An Italian proverb says, "He who jokes confesses." Listen to the humor today, as it will reveal the serious and secret heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have power you're not using. You can get leverage if you angle yourself right. What you need is perspective. Detach and rise up for the bird's eye view. If you can't get there alone, reach out to someone on high.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The experts agree that happiness usually can't be caught in a chase or nabbed in a pursuit; rather it's the byproduct of a journey that has very little to do with personal gain.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While learning choreography it's quite normal to go left when you're supposed to go right or bumble a step or two. But when you dance to your inner choreography, there are no mistakes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You only have so much patience. One person requires more of it than the rest. You'll have enough if you dam up all the other drains and demands on your self-control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you know your strengths you don't have to boast them. The one drawing a lot of attention to what he supposedly does best may indeed feel insecure on the subject. Your awareness and compassion are called for.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you're looking, you can usually find someone doing the job better, faster, prettier and getting more money for it in the process. However, no one is doing exactly what you do. Hone your unique offerings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The action itself isn't so different from yesterday's, but your approach is changing everything about how you experience this, and how effective you are at it, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes compartmentalizing feelings is like trying to catch weather in a jar. Puffy white clouds, lightning bolts and sunny blue skies exist as part of a system. They don't want to be contained.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 12). You respect tradition but don't always follow it. This is your year for recognizing the need for creating personal rituals that speak specifically to your heart. Your relationships will be enhanced by your spiritual and creative explorations. March and May will be the most profitable. August brings a move. Sagittarius and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 32, 1 and 19.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "This might sound like I'm joking, but I'm really not. I feel like I spend my whole life rolling my eyes. My husband says something stupid; I wait until he leaves the room and then roll my eyes. I roll my eyes in traffic, in stores at unhelpful clerks, when my child is acting spoiled and when I talk to my mom on the phone. I feel like a petulant teen. Help! Signed, Eye-rolling Cancer."

Eye rolling is disrespectful and it is passive-aggressive. It is indicative of an attitude of defeat. Eye rolling is an act of defiance one takes because one feels powerless to do more. The reason eye rolling is associated with teenagers is because teenagers are still children, old enough to want more from the world, but still powerless to take matters into their own hands. Use your Cancer intuition and creativity to solve this one. Every time you roll your eyes, ask yourself what other actions you would like to take. Replay the scene in your mind and see yourself responding in various different ways until you find one that you think you would like to try in real life the next time you come to a potentially eye-rolling trigger.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Ryan Gosling has several highly anticipated movies coming out in the next few months, including "The Big Short" with Brad Pitt, Christian Bale and Selena Gomez. The Scorpio has been in show business since childhood, but his co-parenting role with Eva Mendez will be his most satisfying job of all. Four natal Libran planets promise that relationships are the true joy of his life.
