Inner Space–May 2015

by Eric Francis

Aries (March 20-April 19)

Focus on your family and home and everything else will fall into place. If you build your life from the foundation up, you will know you’re on solid emotional ground, and your confidence will reflect itself in every other aspect of your life. Before you invest too much energy worrying, remember that you are safe and strong within your own soul.




Taurus (April 19-May 20)
You can afford to push your luck, because you’re so in tune with your sense of mission and with the knowledge you possess. Indeed you are a reservoir of wisdom, though it’s going to spring from the inside out. You don’t need to seek the reassurance of others, or to have them second-guess you. Be aware of where you stand with yourself at all times, and you cannot go wrong.




Gemini (May 20-June 21)

When Mercury stations direct in your sign on June 11, any doubts you may have will vanish as if they never existed. Until then, they might be convincing or even paralyzing—but don’t fall for that illusion. There’s no such thing as a problem that cannot be solved. There are no honest questions that don’t have answers. You will be told everything you need to know.




Cancer (June 21-July 22)

If you find uncertainty rules your mood until the Sun enters your sign on June 21, I suggest you question whether that’s really true. Currently you’re being granted a kind of inner vision that’s allowing you access to deep intuition. Tune into that and you will teach yourself a great deal; then as the solstice approaches, you will light up your world with passion and grace.




Leo (July 22-August 23)

How would you feel if you had no secrets? I reckon you would feel liberated, honest, authentic, and alive. Concealing anything about yourself, whether justified or not, consumes energy and makes you question yourself. Yes, it seems easier to live behind a veil, though any experiment requiring bravery will be rewarded handsomely—if only with the abundant courage to try again with confidence.




Virgo (August 23-September 22)

You can live as if you have a legion of angels guarding you—because you do. Yet for that to matter, you must be open to their gifts and their blessings, and listen to the wisdom they offer you. So listen carefully and know they will not only guide you away from danger, they will guide you toward love and abundance.





Libra (September 22-October 23)

You’re standing in the midst of astonishing resources, in the form of your colleagues, your community, and, most of all, the rewards of your work. There’s clearly money in the stars, though you have available even greater rewards for your efforts at making the world a better place. One of them is clear confirmation that you can indeed guide yourself and others to freedom and sanity.




Scorpio (October 23-November 22)

You are in professional leadership mode, and from the look of your chart, you could inspire a whole forest to burst into song. Your success and positive outlook are proof of what is possible, and people are looking to you for just that kind of guidance. Remember, more than anything, you are providing an example to others—one that will shine out like the Sun.




Sagittarius (November 22-December 22)

You know what’s true, and you know what’s possible—anything at all. Step into your broadest horizons and begin some new bold experiment. You can only do this if you believe in yourself with the absolute confidence of the true Sagittarian that you are. You’ll only know for sure if you try—and you seem destined to do just that, in a rather grand style.




Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
Your emotional intelligence is at a peak right now. This will confer on you a form of perception that sometimes seems supernatural. Of course, you are a wholly natural phenomenon, which includes your instincts and your intuition. Take that as far as you can, trust your knowledge, and imagine that you really can see the future. Vision is perception, and it’s also the ability to build your life.




Aquarius (January 20-February 19)
You may be given the opportunity to solve problems you thought would never go away. Seize the moment and apply your brilliance and clarity to whatever puzzles you, particularly if it’s been lingering for a while. This may feel like unraveling a knot, or it may feel like working out a complex equation. Summon your streak of genius and it won’t let you down.




Pisces (February 19-March 20)
All your work will pay off, so you can afford to do it joyfully and with faithful expectancy. Go lighter on the effort, and depend more on subtler qualities like cooperation, goodwill, and your distinct ability to manifest a winning idea out of thin air. When in doubt, ease off on trying. Instead, focus your observational skills, ask others what they think, and make bold decisions.
