We cannot change the nature of the addict or the addiction. We can help to change the old lie "Once an addict, always an addict," by striving to make recovery more available.

Aries Some spiritually important life lessons are coming your way through the arenas of your children\affairs or creativity. Keep your eyes, ears and mind open for whatever comes your way. Practice asking about other people and how they are doing. Notice your surroundings and how it makes you feel. Be aware. Rams have a tendency to power their way through situations without pausing to notice a thing. While you may get things done that way, not a lot of inner growth can occur when you're ramming the place down. Sit back, listen and if you don't like what is being said, pray to hear at least one thing you could use. Wisdom doesn't have to come from your mistakes alone, you can also learn something from mistakes others have made, just listen.	Taurus Ahh, my brave and stubborn bulls. There is only one way for you, it seems, the hard way. It really doesn't have to be so hard; you just need to stop resisting. Any sort of change or new thing that comes your way you tend to fight even if it doesn't apply to you. There are some things you just have to accept and deal with and this is your lesson this month. If one course of action isn't working try another way, otherwise you'll be bouncing off the wall. All that stress and uncertainty could mean you've forgotten about your higher power. Let it go! Acceptance is the solution. If a situation is completely intolerable get out of it. If you can't affect a satisfactory solution then walk away. There are some people, places and things that are unmovable and if you're the only mobile link…	Gemini Many of you are on a strange slippery slope. Mercury went direct in July but its repercussions are still being felt. Restless, bored, irritable-sound familiar? How about the only company you like to keep these days is with yourself? This is all leading somewhere but you need other people to help you find it. Being a Gemini myself, I can say with some certainty that something you can't put your finger on is bothering you deeply. I think our symbolic images, Castor and Pollux, were raised by wolves or swans or something and when they feel weak they drop back from the herd until they feel better again. It is the old "never let them see you sweat" routine. It works sometimes but right now we need to see your depth and how you handle situations that baffle you. Get out of your head and get involved with something or one day you'll turn into that grumpy old person the neighbor kids are scared of.
Cancer Never pray for wisdom, patience or tolerance because you will have to work to get it. In the same manner, you can't pray for faith unless you want it tested. I do believe the higher power has quite a sense of humor and does like to mess with us if we get too whiny or impatient. Buck up and deal with it, it is gonna be okay in the end. All the pouting, crying and thrashing around in the world isn't going to change anything. You can ask yourself how much of this situation have you caused and make some adjustments there. If this is an "out of the blue" problem that is totally out of your control, spend a time working on it, with it and through it. If it is happening there must be something you need there. Easy for me to say, it is true, but someone needed to say it to you.	Leo Grumpy, reality based Saturn is still plodding through your sign throwing cold water on any pipe dreams you may be harboring. As a result you may feel stuck and bored too. This is a good time to take a look at your dreams and figure out what path you need to achieve them. When I talk about dreams, I mean more than a "good paying job" or a "happy relationship", what excites a passion in you, what would make you jump out of bed in the morning, what could you do that would make you feel fulfilled. If you don't know, then use the time to find out. The dream may seem impossible but given the right energy and the best direction, it could actually happen. This entails a certain risk to your ego and maybe some hard concentrated work but anything is better than treading water while you wait for something to come to you. You are ruled by the sun, let it shine.	Virgo Finally there is a bit of contentment in your life and you don't have to fight your depressed inner person to get up in the morning. Keep it up! What plans you make now will really come to fruition later this year or early next year so keep at it. Some of you have figured out that making peace with your past is one way to enjoy today and that's a lesson we all could use. If you feel you are still fighting with your current status and situation talk to someone with more experience and make a course of action, step by step. This will be your much needed road map to get you out of a stagnant situation. We live in a remarkable time and you happen to be a remarkable person so be brave and bold with your plans. Moving those things out of your head and onto paper or another's ear will lighten you up a lot-SO GET AT IT.
Libra Venus, your ruling planet, goes retrograde from your 12th house of unconscious to your 11th house of friends. What road blocks you have set up for yourself in the area of emotional contacts may become clearer with the help of a friend. What sort of people do you attract and are attracted by and why? What are your expectations of others, what do you think you have to offer someone? Take a look at it all right now as it may hold the solutions to some of your basic issues in that area. The more open you are about these things the easier it will be to fix them. One aspect is very important, how much of yourself do you deny or hold back on in order to be loved by someone else? Life is a continual discovery of self and when you block that, pain ensues. The more yourself you are, the more appropriate types of partners come your way. Maybe the bottom line is that we need to love you until you can love yourself.	Scorpio Some of you have finally disentangled yourselves from the problems and issues of others so you can take the solo journey of self discovery. That intensity you are so famous for can serve you well, for it will lead you through the nooks and crannies of your complicated mind. What you believe and why you believe it, who you love and why you love them are all questions that, when finally answered, will lead you to the "AHA" moment of revelation. In the end all we really have is ourselves and our higher power so work in that area is never ever a wasted effort. You have some challenging aspects that have been in place for the last 16 months but you should be used to them by now and have figured out how to be okay doing without a few crutches. This is a powerful time so be brave and keep it up.	Sagittarius Pluto is in your sign and it is opposite Mars, so don't be surprised if you are feeling a bit crabby. Do you even know what is bothering you or is it some free floating anxieties? It is important with the energy available to you that you get to the bottom of it now. Perhaps you need to shake up your world a bit and try something new in your career area. Sagittarians are naturally adventurous and if you have nothing exciting to look forward to it can color your world and mood. This would be a great time for some classes or discovering a new mode of life style. Bottom line is that if you aren't moving forward, you aren't going anywhere and you can't go anywhere unless you have a direction. No there's something to work for.
Capricorn Life on life's terms, yuck. If you have abandoned whatever sustains your sanity and soul it is time to get back to it. Humans, no matter how saintly they may be, will always disappoint each other because, well, we're human. So, this means you need to find something, outside of yourself that you can count on. Sure, you can power your way through this life and getting your way by any means possible but that rarely makes you happy because others aren't happy. You can go solo and avoid any involvement at all with anyone but then you are lonely. So the secret is finding that center of security in yourself where you know you are both lovable and loving and that there is a power greater than yourself you can toss those things you can't control to. For Capricorns, the scariest act of all is the famous leap of faith. You will eventually find it when all of your usual machinations fail but if you're smart you'll do it before you've run out of ideas.	Aquarius Some of you have experienced some sobering events that have brought you back to the place you call "home". Neptune in your sign is messing with your head and giving you all sorts of crazy ideas on what would finally make you happy. Stay grounded and above all avoid bitterness and blame. It is one thing to be funny and quite another to be mean spirited although both keep others at arms length. If you are lonely it may be because you've chased some of your supporters away but with some honest amends you could get them back. There are others of you who have leapt whole-heartedly into a support system that can sustain you until you feel yourself again and you are the lucky ones. You are smart and lovable and if you remember that whatever it is you are going through will pass. When all is said and done whatever wisdom you've accrued will be helpful to someone else.	Pisces Uranus is in your sign disrupting your life and shaking the very foundation of your security. It has been there for awhile so many of you have already gone through this. You later Pisces are probably going through it now. First, assess the damage and second do not retreat, rather latch on to your support system. Whatever has passed from your life is gone and what will come in will be better. You need to focus on whatever positive is still in tact so you don't get overwhelmed by depression and self-pity both of which cannot and will not work for you. You may need to take a stand with someone and say, "I don't deserve this" before moving on with your life. Sometimes the best thing we can do is to push back, don't be mean, just firm. You'll feel much better in the end by standing up for yourself and serve as a wonderful example for other gentle souls.

GIVING UP INSANITY

... where alcohol has been involved, we have been strangely insane.

Alcoholism required me to drink, whether I wanted to or not. Insanity dominated my life and was the essence of my disease. It robbed me of the freedom of choice over drinking and, therefore, robbed me of all other choices. When I drank, I was unable to make effective choices in any part of my life and life became unmanageable.

I asked GOD to help me understand and accept the full meaning of the disease of alcoholism.

FACING OURSELVES

... and Fear says, "You dare not look!"

How often I avoided a task in my drinking days just because it appeared so large! Is it any wonder, even if I have been sober for some time, that I will act that same way when faced with what appears to be a monumental job, such as a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself? What I discover after I have arrived at the other side—when my inventory is completed—is that the illusion was greater than the reality. The fear of facing myself kept me at a standstill and, until I became willing to put pencil to paper, I was arresting my growth based on an intangible.
