All Signs
This week the Sun joins Mercury, Venus and Mars in the sign of Scorpio, which means the whole world is having a Scorpio hit. This has many implications but one is that Halloween this year will be a "big deal." The last time we had four planets in Scorpio at Halloween was 2006 (yes, I know the Sun is not a planet). Scorpio is the most intense sign in the zodiac. This means people will feel very zealous wherever Scorpio occurs in their own chart. (It will be different for each sign.) Read on to find out where you might be a tad obsessive-compulsive in the next month. (But first, I must dash off again to wash my hands.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This heavy Scorpio hit is occurring in the very part of your chart that is the home of Scorpio! (Whaaat?)The intensity and collected focus that affects everyone will be double for your sign! "Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!" You will feel passionately intense about everything -- including sex. You will also be passionately involved in discussions about shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance matters. But in the bigger picture (and there is always a bigger picture, isn't there?), you will have a strong desire to improve yourself. You want to become a better person. You want to become the best you can be, no matter how old you are, or where you live, or what you do. The BEST you can be!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It's unusual to have four planets opposite your sign. This opposition draws your focus to partnerships and close friendships. Basically two things are taking place: (1) You'll need more sleep than usual in the next month because you feel easily exhausted (that's because the Sun is as far away from you as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy). (2) Co-operate with others! Form working units. All kinds of partnerships can help you. Experts (lawyers, accountants, counsellors, or astrologers) can help you get a better grasp on your relationships. Be receptive to others because their feedback and direct assistance will benefit you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're on a get-organized kick! You want things to run more smoothly at home and at work. In fact, you will enjoy trying your hardest to make this happen in your life because, after all, who benefits more than you? Start by giving yourself the best possible chance to do this. Get cleaning supplies, tools, paint, shelving, file folders or whatever it is you need to do a great job. After all, since you're motivated to do this in the next month, why not get the best results? (Make hay while the Sun shines and all that.) Romance with someone at work will begin for some of you. All of you will feel physically invigorated with your health.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Time to par-tay! The next month is all about love affairs, romance, parties, vacations, movies, sports, the theatre, and any fun diversion. "Vegas!" Make sure you set aside time to socialize with others. If you're romantically interested in someone, go ahead and make the first move. If you're already in a partnership, do something romantic to rejuvenate the relationship. Chocolates, pistachio nuts, flowers - whatever. Show your main squeeze that you're thinking about them and you care. Sports events will be hot! The bottom line is this: The next six weeks are all about being yourself. Feel free to do what YOU want to do.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
One moment you're accepting an award and the next, you're cleaning the bathroom. In the month ahead, you'll be more involved with family. Visits with relatives are par for the course. (Visits will go both ways -- they come to see you -- you go to see them.) Naturally, this creates increased activity at home. Some of this chaos is due to decorating and renovating, while some of this bustle is due to family businesses as well as family get-togethers. Not only is this an ideal time to exchange ideas, it's a good time to discuss home repairs. And yes, conflict will arise as well. Bummer. (George Burns was right: "Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.")
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Time to get busy! We're talking very, very busy. Short trips, reading, writing and studying, increased time with siblings and relatives, plus running mucho errands and, all the while, talking to everyone keeps you on the run for the next month. (Gasp.) Your daily pace is accelerating! Just accept this. Don't fight it. Get your rest. There is an upside to all this activity. For starters, you are confident and unusually assertive. In addition, it's awfully sweet to discover how much beauty, and indeed love, there is in your daily world. People really care for you! Gosh, golly, gee and all that. (Life is good.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
In the month ahead, you'll be thinking a lot more about your money, your cash flow, your earnings, and your future savings and security ("I don't want to be a bag lady!") plus your possessions, including major expenditures and future purchases. Wise Librans are setting intentions about attracting wealth and attracting money. ("Bring it on!") I think this is an excellent idea because our beliefs about things affect how they manifest in our life. And anyhow, at this stage in your life, you're setting off on a whole new journey of reinventing yourself! So, why not raise the bar with your financial expectations? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! (Money is so handy when you want to buy things.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Well, it's all about you, dear Scorpio. Because the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all in your sign, this is an unusually powerful time for you. Furthermore, a celestial fluke puts Venus in your sign (with the exception of a few weeks) until January next year. Major bonus! This is a wonderful time to contemplate and evaluate what really matters to you. You will arrive at a keener appreciation of your value system, and not only what things are important to you but also what people are important to you as well. When this is over, you'll be more confident about facing what you know you have to do. (Some of this will involve letting go.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Different influences are occurring right now that trigger self-introspection, spiritual exploration, and an appreciation of your own solitude, especially outdoors. (Ah, I see you -- riding bareback on an Arabian stallion on a pristine beach in Sardinia.) Essentially, you are looking for some inner truth. Things at home and where you live are pretty good. It's true, you're doing a bit of a balancing act between the demands of others and your own time. But what you really need is a chance to pursue self-discovery. Ironically, for some of you this will attract a secret love affair. (Double your pleasure, double your fun?)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You're becoming more popular! You're in demand. Everyone wants to see your face. Friends, as well as groups, clubs and organizations plus sports and athletic get-togethers all want a piece of you. In one way, this is flattering. But it's also exhausting. You don't like to be hounded. You're careful about maintaining your boundaries. (It's just who you are.) The upside is that a friend could become a lover. (Strong possibility.) Tension with someone is also likely. (Bummer.) This influence will last for at least six weeks, but your romantic influence will last until January of next year! This is a good time to think about your hopes and dreams for the future. Why not share these ideas with others to get their feedback ?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This heavy concentration of four planets in Scorpio is a bit at odds with your sign (as it likewise is for your opposite sign Leo.) It's a T-bone effect. The result is you are easily annoyed with others and a bit quick to dig in your heels. If you're aware of this, it won't consume you. In fact, the same energy that makes you impatient with others can also rev your engines and make you feverishly attack anything you want to achieve. (That's how to channel the energy that's occurring this month.) Make it work for you instead of against you. In other words, use it to help yourself. Romance with a boss or someone older, richer, or more worldly is also likely. (Trip to Hawaii?)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're longing to blow this pop stand. You so want to get out of town and see new places and faces, and hear fascinating tales. If you can travel anywhere in the next six weeks, by all means do so! This same desire to expand your world applies to your need to get a better education and learn something new. You want an adventure! Sign up for a course. Go back to school. Talk to people from different backgrounds and other countries. Do whatever you can to broaden your experience of the world. Romance with someone from another culture is likely. You're also excited about publishing, the media, medicine, and the law. Relax -- some thrills and chills are sure to come your way in the month ahead.
