This has been and will continue to be an ideal time to act like a student in every phase of your life.

Amazingly, this is a year when you can generate unpredictable magic as both a student and a teacher.

We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope that you’ve been working hard to upgrade your skills in the art of relationship. Have you taken any workshops or read any books that have helped you become a better lover and collaborator? Have you meditated on cracking open the secrets of inspired and inspiring sharing? Even if you haven’t done much, there’s still time to accomplish miracles. Through the end of December, you’ll continue to attract cosmic luck whenever you break any bad old habits that have hurt your ability to give and get the best from your intimate alliances.

I hope you’ve been capitalizing on the fact that this is the Year of Well-Earned Luck in Higher Love. It has been over a decade since your romantic evolution has been as ripe for rapid progress as it is now. Remember, for best results, keep your priorities screwed on straight: Always focus more intensely on the pleasure of giving the beautiful love you have to offer than on your hunger for the love you have always wanted to get.

We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope that by now you’re at least midway through a transformation of your relationship to family. That might mean you’re leading a revolution to reinvent your family of origin. It might mean you’re making decisions about how to shape the family of your future. It could involve you working hard to ensure that you have a close-knit group of people, not necessarily related to you biologically, to serve as a reliable source of emotional sustenance. Or all of the above.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Libra. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. So let me ask you: Have you been practicing discernment as you’ve explored the mysteries of variety? Have you been trying a host of different alternatives, but without dissipating your focus? The danger is the opportunity; the opportunity is the danger: In the next six months, you’ll either refine your intelligence or waste your intelligence as you experiment with combining things that have never before been combined. You’ll either embody the archetype of the promiscuous dilettante or the archetype of the versatile master of improvisation.

I mean, you will always be the zodiac’s master of transformation; you’ll always thrive on going through ceaseless, deep-seated shifts that would terrify most of the other signs. But if you’re taking advantage of this year’s cosmic opportunities, Scorpio, your eruptions of abracadabra! are being buffered by a profound grace. Your experiments in turning lead into gold and garbage into treasure are proceeding with a generous-spirited poise. Now you’re ready to take it to the next level of relaxed elegance.

I hope that by now you are cashing in on the fact that this is the Year of the Supercharged Libido and the Spiritual Orgasm. Not only do you have extraordinary reserves of physical energy available; you also have access to what amounts to a kind of metaphysical lust, whose primal power can enable you to smash long-standing mental blocks and break on through to the other side of anything you want to break on through to the other side of.
