All Signs

The Fall Equinox occurs on Tuesday heralding the first day of autumn. On Saturday, we have a Full Moon in feisty Aries! (Be patient on Thursday and Friday to avoid nasty exchanges.) But the big news is that this week the Sun moves from task-oriented Virgo to gracious, pleasure-loving Libra, ushering in four weeks that will encourage everyone to socialize more and seek the company of others. We'll all place more emphasis on personal comfort, as well as our appearance both personally and in our surroundings, especially at home. We'll feel a stronger interest in the arts, poetry, music and fashion. Many of us might be more inclined to watch legal dramas and read books about court trials. This is because the sign of Libra has domain over haute couture and the law. Look how well dressed lawyers are! Obvious. I rest my handbag.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week the Sun moves opposite your sign to stay for four weeks. This happens once a year, and it means you'll get less energy from the Sun because it's now as far away from you as it can get all year. Ergo: You'll need more sleep. Fortunately, this polarized position of the Sun will give you better objectivity in seeing your closest relationships in action. You will observe how you deal with others, which is a blessing because after all, for a relationship to be successful, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you. This is timely because on Saturday, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year will occur, which could create tension between you and others in the last few days of this week. Be observant, patient and understanding.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are a sensuous, tactile sign who loves your creature comforts: Good food, good wine, good sex, and a nice place to live. But when it comes to work, if it's something that interests you, you swing into action! This is what the story will be in the next four weeks because the Sun and Mercury will motivate you to be as productive as possible! Get ready to roll up your sleeves and be hands-on with whatever you're doing because you intend to be efficient and effective. You'll also be forthright and persistent in your communications. Be patient with coworkers on Thursday and Friday before Saturday's Full Moon. Don't let the wheels fall off your project.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Lucky you! This week the Sun moves into the most playful part of your chart to stay for the next four weeks, which means it will be fun city for you! Vacations, sports events, social outings, the theatre, the arts, playful activities with kids and any chance to express your creative talents will be rewarding. Romance will also be favoured. (Woot!) Admittedly, Thursday, and Friday might trigger some tension before Saturday's Full Moon. Be patient, (especially Gemini parents with their kids). You're keen to work hard to make money now, in part because you're spending it. Fortunately, relations with coworkers are warm and cozy. In fact, a work-related romance will begin for many of you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This week the Sun is moving into the part of your chart that represents home and family, which means in the next four weeks, you'll have a stronger focus on home and dealing with family members, especially parents. Family discussions will take place along with home repairs. However, on Saturday, the Full Moon could create problems with parents and older relatives. (You might feel this tension building up on Thursday and Friday.) Do what you can to keep the peace but keep in mind that with fiery Mars in your sign, you might be part of the problem! Fortunately, romance and relations with kids are blessed.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The tempo of your days is accelerating and suddenly, you're busy! Short trips, errands and appointments are just some reasons you're slammed. Some of you are writing, reading and studying more as well. Meanwhile, you're keen to redecorate and make your digs look more attractive. You also might entertain more. Be aware that Saturday's Full Moon could introduce an accident-prone influence for you that might begin as early as Thursday. Therefore, pay attention to everything you say and do to avoid regrets. Enjoy schmoozing! Step out with pizzazz! Wear an action figure pin on your lapel.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It's interesting to note: Your focus on money, earnings, cash flow and possessions will be heightened in the next four weeks. Meanwhile, Saturday's Full Moon could trigger disputes about shared property, or something you own, or someone's demands about your belongings or your assets. (This tension might even begin midweek before Saturday's Full Moon.) Fortunately, with fair Venus in your House of Communications, your words will be smooth and charming, and you'll handle whatever arises with Virgo finesse. Competitive sports and physical activities will also appeal. Take time to enjoy the beauty of your everyday surroundings.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This week the Sun moves into your sign to stay for four weeks. (This happens once a year giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year.) The Sun will attract favourable situations and people to you, which means you rule! However, on Saturday, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year will take place, and this might create tension between you and those who are closest to you. This angst might begin on Wednesday or Thursday. Your best ally will be patience - a patience that keeps you above sinking to the level of anyone who taunts you. George Bernard Shaw said, "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Fair Venus moved into your sign about 10 days ago. It will stay there until the end of October, when it goes retrograde, slipping back into Libra for a month. On December 4, Venus will return to Scorpio to stay for the rest of year. This is a lovely blessing for you because it will attract money, beauty, pleasant occasions and social connections into your world. Without any effort on your part, you'll appear more charming and witty. "Tra la, tra la, it is to laugh." Not only will you attract beautiful things to you, you'll also attract romance! This is a delightful blessing that sweetens your life in every respect. Travel will come your way as well as chances to explore avenues in publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law. Lucky you!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Because the Sun is now in your 11th House of Friendships, you're looking at a popular month ahead! Your interaction with younger people will increase; and friends as well as groups and organizations will want to see your face. In fact, the next four weeks are an excellent time to define goals and bounce your ideas off of others to get their feedback, which could be helpful. However, Saturday's Full Moon might create tension with others, including your kids as well as romantic partners. (You might feel this tension beginning on Wednesday or Thursday.) Take the high road. The view is better. Admittedly, disputes about inheritances and shared property might arise but you can handle these with your irresistible breezy, friendliness.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be at the top of your chart. This happens once a year, and it means (symbolically) that you're being cast in the spotlight of the Sun and it is flattering! (Even if you don't do anything different.) This means if someone approaches you to take on increased responsibilities or a promotion of sorts - say yes! You won't have to do anything special to please them. It's the power of great lighting! Admittedly, Saturday's Full Moon will introduce tension between you and authority figures and perhaps a family member. (This angst might begin midweek.) Keep your cool and demonstrate grace under pressure to respect family bonds.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Keep your wits about you this week because two unusual events are occurring. First, the Sun is moving into an adventurous part of your chart, which makes you want to spontaneously do whatever pleases you. You might want to escape or travel somewhere or broaden your horizons in some way. On Saturday, the Full Moon will introduce an accident-prone influence for your sign, which might begin as early as Wednesday. These two influences - your impulsive, carefree attitude combined with an increased likelihood of accidents should give you food for thought. Be careful. Treasure your well-being. Meanwhile relations with authority figures are fantastic. Plus, you're prepared to work hard. Great combo!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In the next four weeks, you might encounter disputes, difficulties and challenges with shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt or insurance issues. (All that red-tape stuff.) On Saturday, these issues might come to a head forcing your hand in some way. Be careful. Fortunately, everything related to your job is excellent. Furthermore, travel, education and romance are also beautifully favoured. Personally, you feel playful and daring, which is why competitive sports will appeal. A saucy new romance might also be on the horizon. Your passions are more intense in the next four weeks. Be aware of this knowing it's nothing you can't handle.
