All Signs
A Mercury retrograde announcement. (And I apologize for not mentioning this earlier.) Mercury will be retrograde from Nov. 9 to Nov. 29; however, the buffer dates - before and after - (to use if spending big on a car, computer or cell phone) are Nov. 1 to Dec.17. Forearmed is forewarned! Meanwhile, Monday is Thanksgiving in Canada, and we have so much for which to be thankful. But lo! What news from yonder modem breaks? This week we must guard against manipulation and guilt trips! We must stop trying to please people who are never satisfied! We must avoid those who always hog the spotlight! These are important warnings. Meanwhile, we wait until others discover our greatness. (Have you noticed that no matter how cynical you get, it's impossible to keep up?)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Remember to get more sleep this week. Meanwhile, you have the advantage of being able to see your closest relationships with more objectivity, an influence that occurs only once a year. Use this to see the role you play in your closest relationships so that you can improve how you act. On Monday, Venus moves into your House of Partnerships to stay for four weeks. A priceless blessing! This is the best influence you can have for all relationships - love affairs, relations with partners, coworkers, even your enemies! This means in the next four weeks you'll express your affection for others; and you'll understand their needs. It will also be easy to make the peace with someone.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You will accomplish a lot this week because you're motivated to do so. (Motivation is everything!) This is why you're gung-ho to work hard and to work smart. On Monday, Venus joins the team, which means you'll enjoy excellent relationships with bosses and coworkers. In fact, financial favours might come your way. (This is good news!) Admittedly, with Mars opposite your sign, you will be easily annoyed with someone. And now that Mercury is opposite your sign as well, it will attract ex partners back into your world, or your dreams, or flitting through your thoughts. (Actually, one can see why being annoyed with someone might happen.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a fun-loving, playful time for you, which is why you want to be out there visiting people, places, restaurants, playing fields, gyms, watering holes, and stores plus, enjoying short trips and vacations. You want stimulation and fun! In fact, on Monday, fair Venus enters the most romantic part of your chart, which will encourage new romance, love affairs, pleasure outings, playful times with kids and creative activities. You will feel that there's no need to pretend to be what you are not. You're happy in your skin. Admittedly, you're keen to work hard; and when Mercury retrograde swings into action, it will create delays and problems in your job. But not yet. Enjoy the good life!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Home and family continue to be your focus; and you might deal with a parent more than usual. Do something to make your home look more attractive - then invite someone over to see what you've done (and how clever you are). As Venus changes signs on Monday, it will improve your relations with parents and family members. It will also make you want to do something to enjoy your home more. Your playful spirit will be aroused, and you'll want to pursue mental activities for their own sake - board games, reading, and fun hobbies. You don't have to justify anything with a practical motive - just please yourself. You might begin to have flashes and dreams of old romances. (Funny how memories can soften the sharp edges of things.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might be a bit tired because your busy pace is exhausting! Short trips, visits, errands and appointments keep you on the go. Fortunately, starting Monday, you'll be blessed with the ability to appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings - something that so often eludes us. You'll find it easy to be charming with everyone. In fact, you might make money from your words through writing, selling, marketing or acting. Admittedly, home life is a bit chaotic; and as this month progresses, relatives from the past might end up on your doorstep. Stay tuned to your deeper, private values and ethics because this will keep you sane.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You've been thinking about money, cash flow and earnings this week -- how to improve them or save what you have to the best of your ability. Fortunately, this is an excellent week for financial negotiations and business transactions! Even borrowing money shouldn't be difficult. You might also spend money on art objects and beauty. You might notice that your communications with others are a tad aggressive. You'll be quick to speak up and state your opinions. You're ready to say what you mean and mean what you say! Be aware that as the month progresses, goofy mistakes, missed appointments and transportation delays will start to increase. Yes, it's that time again - but the last one for this year. (Whew!)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
On Monday your ruler, fair Venus moves into your sign to stay for the next four weeks. Bonus! This will increase your desire to relate to others, and will also make you charming and diplomatic. (Another bonus!) It will promote good times with friends; and encourage vacations and doing anything that you enjoy because Venus always ranks pleasure above work. You'll attract people to you - romantic or otherwise, and this will please you. Meanwhile, with the Sun in your sign now, you're empowered! And Jupiter at the top of your chart makes you look successful! Admittedly, you're spending too much, even as you tell yourself this. Unfortunately, cheques in the mail are late. Similar delays to financial matters might plague you. Argh.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Mercury is now in your sign, and as the month progresses, it will slow down, and attract people from your past back into your world, including ex-partners and old flames. If you don't meet these people in person or on-line, they'll pop up in your dreams and your thoughts. Meanwhile, with Mars in your sign, you have energy to burn! You will surprise even yourself at how much stamina and perseverance you have. Travel opportunities will appeal; however, with the Sun and fair Venus hiding in your chart, you are surprisingly content to be low key and just take it easy. Make an effort to express your views to others. Your mind is busy and it needs to be occupied with useful projects. Ideas?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your popularity will continue to grow because Venus enters your House of Friendships on Monday attracting friends and groups, and promoting parties, social outings, good times and a shared enjoyment of the arts. Any situation where you deal with groups settings (like a business conference or an organizational meeting) will be favoured by Venus. You will get along with others. In fact, for some of you, a friend might become a lover. Welcome this blessing over the next four weeks to get along with others so smoothly and in such an enjoyable way. Meanwhile, you can excel doing behind-the-scenes research and digging for answers to questions and solutions to old problems. "Eureka!"
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
On Monday, Venus moves to the top of your chart creating favourable circumstances for your business and professional life. This means that bosses, parents and people in authority will admire you. (It's smoke and mirrors - but it's real.) For example, you will probably be asked about how to make something look better - such as design, layout work, office redecorating or PR work. It could be a page, a room, but people want your advice even if this is not related to what you do. Meanwhile, relations with authority figures are so cozy, you might have a flirtation with a boss or begin a romance with someone more established. (Marrying rich is one of life's laboursaving devices.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Travel plans and any opportunity to expand your world will appeal to you now because you need a change of scenery and you want a chance to learn something new. Basically, you want to expand your world! As Venus changes signs on Monday, it will increase your chances for pleasure trips and opportunities to see art exhibits, pristine nature or anything beautiful that stirs your soul. You might enjoy concerts, museums in other countries or art galleries where you live. You will also be attracted to new people who are different from your experience. A romance with someone "unusual" might begin. As Mercury retrograde nears, run-ins and/or memories of parents and bosses from your past will occur. This could be pleasant - or not.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Issues about shared property, taxes, debt, including money from the government, mortgages and loans are all on the table for your sign at this time. Fortunately, because Venus is just moving into this part of your chart, you are favoured! Venus will encourage government employees and institutions to open their purse strings in a way that will benefit you financially. Venus will also make romantic relationships more affectionate - and more memorable. Expect opportunities for fun and pleasure because both Jupiter and Mars are encouraging adventure and playful times for you! Get out your dancing shoes! Oh yeah!
