Do the gods play musical chairs?

It’s madness to play games with Pluto, even musical chairs with the stars.  He has everyone dancing in circles, but instead of removing one chair Pluto adds one, and calls it “transformation.”  If you sit in it, the game goes to a whole new level.  

Early Sunday morning Venus goes home to Libra for a 24 day rejuvenation, after being away on the zodiac circuit for 2 years.  Think about the relationship choices you were making in August, September, and November, 2010.  You’ll be revisiting those decisions now from a new perspective.  

Soap boxes and 76 trombones are coming out for the finale. Sunday evening Mental Mercury joins Mars in jump-to-conclusions Sagittarius.  Outspoken and honest, you may finally know where political candidates stand.  

Venus has ordered a sensuous feast, complete with chamber music, for the arrival of the  Taurus Full Moon on Monday (12:50 PM, PDT).  This Full Moon is a progress report.  What needs to be pruned and discarded?  What needs to be nurtured and fed?

Saturday, Pluto draws down your powerful ambitions, adds an intense emotional responsibility, stirs in a challenging relationship, and tops it off with lightning bolts of surprise opportunities.  

The Force of doors opening is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the week of October 28, 2012...

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
The goddess of love graces your relationships with harmonious, enjoyable companionship for the next 4 weeks.  For you Venus is in the house of happy marriage, and even if this is not in the cards you’ll have fulfilling and happy times with others.  The pace of your communications goes into hyperdrive along with loads of physical energy.  Look to Monday’s Full Moon in Taurus for a progress report.  It’s gonna be a big rush to Saturday’s grand challenge to stay grounded in your own truth no matter what.

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)
When Venus enters her home in Libra today, she brings a bit of flirtation into your workplace along with her characteristic justice and fair play.  Since Taurus shares rulership of Venus with Libra, you have four weeks ahead of harmonious relationships.  With her hair still on fire, the Moon gratefully chills out in Taurus Sunday evening (10:03 PM, PDT) after an emotional 3 day run through Aries.  This is a quiet evening before the storm.  This Thursday’s tension between four heavy-hitting planets is going to look kindly on you.  

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)
It doesn’t get much better than having the goddess of love in your house of romance and creativity!  You’ve got four weeks ahead of creative self-expression, smooth moves in romance, and making fun out of every encounter.  There is so much on the information highway Wednesday that even with the multitasking Gemini Moon you can’t keep up emotionally, so cross things off your list.  The Gemini Moon makes an exact pairing with Jovial Jupiter Thursday evening at 6:18 PM, PDT.  Your feelings are buoyed by optimism and positive thinking right through the transformative challenges on Saturday.  

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)
You’re in for four weeks of happiness and harmony in your home and family relationships.  Venus moves to Libra today, beautifying your personal surroundings and adding to the family piggy bank. The Taurus Full Moon Monday (12:50 PM, PDT) asks you to evaluate what you need to let go of and what you need to feed and nurture. Venus adds an extra dose of her graceful calm on Wednesday evening, but make no mistake, she’s got a growing taste for something different.  The Moon in Cancer on Saturday is the trigger for a potentially explosive challenge to the status quo, but you’re in the driver’s seat with lots of controls.  

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)
Venus in Libra is going to let you know how much you are loved, and you’ll feel like writing a song about it.  If you have a speech to give, or have hopes of landing on the front page, the next four weeks are your time.  Your challenge in these days of rapid fire changes is to find shelter from the storms in the affection of loved ones, and to just sit and enjoy it from time to time.  Like the spirit of villagers gathering at the ancestral well, you take a drink of the creative spirit that unites your past with the present moment.  

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)
Venus leaves your sign Sunday morning for the intellectual skies of Libra, and your house of money and resources.  The goddess of love will encourage you to surround yourself with beautiful things.  For the next four weeks you’ll be the sparkle in social events.  Big energy builds up as you move toward a crossroads on Saturday.  Time for a new direction.  A quantum leap in consciousness.  This is the celestial version of musical chairs.  No one will be in the same place when it’s over.

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)
Ah, Venus, your muse, has come home to fill your heart with warmth and your life with good times.  You’re a magnet for love!  Four weeks of making good impressions by your innate ability to understand the feelings of others.  Venus in Libra stands in an opposing face to face confrontation with Uranus in Aries (the home of Warrior Mars) on Thursday afternoon (exact at 3:05 PM, PDT).  This is the classic stand off between Venus and her mythic lover, Mars.  The integration of the opposites.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
For the next four weeks you’ll find yourself to be an invaluable caregiver for someone in need.  Venus’ move into Libra Sunday morning stirs your devotion to those you love and supports your charitable, rather selfless, giving.  At the same time you get a booster shot of Pluto’s primal power behind your actions.  Make sure you point yourself in the direction you want to go in.  Saturday’s edgy tension is a challenging grand cross pointing toward a spiritual solution.  Choices are clearly laid out, decisions must be made.

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)
The goddess of love moves into your house of friendships for the next four weeks.  People are going to enjoy your loving, affectionate company and seek you out.  The Moon lifts off into Gemini’s land of multitasking on Wednesday at 11:41 AM, PDT. “Think it over what you just said ...” is your motto for this week.  Help arrives Wednesday evening with Venus’ graceful manners bringing order out of chaos.  Clarity arrives Saturday like the clear skies after a storm.  Opposing forces have to find middle ground.

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)
Justice and fair play get a boost from Venus’ move into your career house Sunday morning.  The goddess of love acts as a muse for your artistic talent, and bestows wealth and improved status in your partnerships for the next four weeks.  Saturday’s the day to take it to the limit one more time!  If you’ve been waiting for someone to show you a sign--this is it!  An edgy grand cross between Uranus, Moon, Venus and Pluto calls you to see things differently by shaking up everything that’s familiar.  

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)
As the week begins, you’ll feel like pushing the river even though it’s uphill all the way.  You just have so much energy you’ll think the impossible is possible.  You’re in for consciousness-expanding experiences for the next four weeks.  Venus’ move to the intellectual skies of Libra harmonizes beautifully with your ideals.  Let the world’s beauty challenge you to a new perception of what’s possible.  Your inner scholar is called to a new philosophy of life.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Venus in Libra begins calling you to a greater intensity of emotion and involvement in your relationships for the next four weeks.  Let the depth of your love bubble to the surface, like fresh air through your heart.  On Wednesday the Moon, newly in Gemini, makes a stressful squared angle (12:28 PM, PDT) with foggy Neptune who’s sailing dreamily through Pisces.  Vision or delusion?  Saturday’s culminating challenge to change your perception, your favorite fastly held beliefs, is made easier for you by the Cancer Moon’s gift of spiritual harmony.
