Marvelous time for a Moondance

Your true self is not something you find, it’s something you remember.  Last week NASA revealed a galaxy loaded with billions of Earthlike planets. We are so not alone! We're challenged to see the bigger picture. That together, dancing in a big delicious milky way, we are magnificent stars.

“I don’t dig nature at all...I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can’t touch with decay.”  Bob Dylan

When you’re clear about your destiny, you stop chasing butterflies and do the work.  Clarity is with us again as Mental Mercury turns direct today!  Our destination this week is the Taurus Full Moon’s opposition to the Scorpio Sun, coming Sunday, November 17th, at 7:15 AM, PST.  

We all have a Darth Vader inside us.  A place where we have put on defensive masks to hide our wounds.  The job of Scorpio is to uncover masks, while the resourceful Taurus Moon illuminates the love inside.   

♡ Date Night:  Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo

Down to earth!  Date night isn’t very glamorous this week, but it has the potential to solidify your partnership.  The lovers are all about redesigning your busy-ness plans, exposing where you hide from each other.  Warrior Mars shows up with the blueprints under one arm, and the goddess of love holds the permits for excavating.  This couple is relentlessly determined to create a firm foundation to build a lasting relationship.  Digging deep will help you remember your love for one another, your most precious treasure.  This is work that must be done by hand.  

The Force of illumination is with you.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of November 10-16, 2013:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)

You don’t have to dig to find your courage, it’s right on the surface of your entrepeurneurship.  You have the self-confidence to weather this time of painstaking attention to detail, not your favorite thing, in order to excavate the errors of “my way or the highway” type thinking.  Therein lies your treasure.  The beginning of the week is a little foggy for you, but clarity comes through your intuition this Wednesday and Thursday.  It’ll be like making camp in a new territory.  Warm and fresh.  

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)

Don’t just dream sweet dreams of security in this chaotic world, get on your hands and knees, dig deeply enough to make room for the roots of a growing tree.  Otherwise it’s all just talk.  The Taurus Full Moon in your sign empowers you to be the smart one who sells all those picks, axes and wheelbarrows to the gold miners.  You get the steady income.  This is the rich kind of partnership you want to create!  You’ll feel a subtle but dreamy shift this Wednesday when the planet of visions turns direct and fills your friendships with a deep compassion and universal love.

 

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)

When you have a dream you can’t let go of, trust your instincts and do the work.  Conjure up some patience.  Under the revealing light of the Taurus Full Moon, your exquisite antennae are up and your sensors firing.  Material from memories are raw, not pleasurable, right now.  A wildness is stirred inside you.  The kind that flies from the fingertips of the sorcerer and magician.  Work your magic.  There’s some barbaric destructiveness involved in cutting a hole in that wall.  

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)

Healing takes the courage to dig up some rotten bits.  You’re our hero because even when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, you keep digging.  Even though you’re in your luckiest year (of a 12 year cycle), you know that doing the footwork is part of the miracle. Tuesday is a great day to broaden your horizons and make a strategic plan to get what you want.  Do you know what that is?  When you do, all the doors are opening for you without even a push.

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)

Like the strength of the relentlessly growing root that cracks the boulder in two, the Taurus Full Moon shines light on your strengths and splits open an obstacle to your career success. Look to your family values and conditioning for what keeps you grounded and what keeps you stuck.  Blast off comes this Wednesday afternoon when something surprising offers you more freedom.  Your spirits are lifted and you’re loaded with creative energy.  Don’t let some quivering nerves undermine your self-confidence on Thursday.  Without fear, you can revitalize your relationship.  

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

Right now your most deeply held beliefs are shining a clear light on your words, making the Taurus Full Moon an auspicious time to speak up.  To teach and write.  You’ll feel your spiritual direction and your commitment to others take a quiet but powerful turn beginning this Wednesday.  It’s as if the fog lifts on your hopes and wishes and you can see clearly now that you are not only magnificent, but powerful beyond your wildest dreams.  Intensity grows under those unfulfilled desires.

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

Would digging seem like dirty work to you if you knew you were about to strike it rich?  The Scorpio Sun is illuminating your house of resources, the home of Taurus the tortoise.  It’s step by step out of your brilliant intellect into the depths of your soul’s desire.  Nothing else will content you now.  You’re trudging through the detail work now, all in preparation for putting your dreams into action beginning early December.  You’ll be tempted to exaggerate the seriousness of some events, but don’t.  Watch for a kicker this Wednesday and Thursday when your relationships get all fired up!  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)

The Scorpio eagle has landed!  You’re ready to dig up the bulbs that bloomed this year, splitting them into two, planting them again for double the flowering in 2014.  The flower is the enlightenment of the plant, as the bird is the enlightenment of the reptile.  You are the enlightment of deeply buried treasure, the ancient artifacts unearthed through your powerful drive to embrace your passions.  Reconciliation is in the air, especially Tuesday.  Take a risk.  Say it out loud.  Be the first to say I love you!

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

You know that design can be a funny word, especially when it refers to how life looks rather than how it works.  The Taurus Full Moon on November 17th is pulling you to the slower pace of a wise observer who knows better than to dig up a plant just to see how its growing!  Solutions will seem to fall out of the sky for you this Wednesday and Thursday.  You’re in no mood to compromise but you’re willing to take a radically different look at an old problem.  

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

No-nonsense mood starts your week, and you’re not backing off from confrontations.  The security of having money in the bank helps you sleep at night, but the challenge for you dear Capricorn is to dig into your dreams, even the ones you judge to be impractical.  Dig at their roots instead of just hacking away at the leaves.  What do you truly want?  Under the Taurus Full Moon you can prosper, but the thing that sets you free is to believe that anything is possible.

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

The light of the Taurus Full Moon shines on your family, your roots, and brings to a culmination certain ambitions you’ve had.  You are the great explorer of human needs, and right now you are called to the descent into the depths of your heart.  It may seem recklessness on your part, but digging into the endless abyss of your true Self is actually courageous.  A little hurt may get blown out of proportion this Thursday so stay with the big dose of generosity of spirit that you’ll feel.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

Time to excavate those politicians who have dug their feet into the sand and no longer listen to what’s being said. They’ve taken up too much space in your head.  Your ability to communicate what’s truly needed is like a shining light on the stodgy patriarchal beliefs holding us back.  Sunday and Monday are your days to fire up that stunningly accurate intuition and draw down healing to smooth over those relationship wounds.  Big ol’ wet Neptune in your sign turns direct this Wednesday, putting practical feet on dreams you’ve been dreaming since June.  You’re in the best position to teach that everyone is your mirror.  

Venus in Capricorn loves wealth

We wake Sunday morning to the aftermath of the Scorpio Solar Eclipse (4:49 AM, PST) having reclaimed spring’s forfeited hour.  This New Moon initiates a month of deepening your heart’s desire and claiming your own power.  See where your fear is lying in wait or being outright vicious and call it out.  It’s a riotous crowd of insane ghosts who’ll dissolve easily in the light of reason.   

Love leads the way to money.  Venus begins a very extended stay in Capricorn this Tuesday, November 5th, which will last an unprecedented 5 months!  The goddess of love will have a lazy retrograde period before leaving Capricorn on March 5, 2014.  Venus loves wealth and often brings it with her when she visits one of your solar houses (see below), and this is especially true while she’s on the ambitious mountain tops of Capricorn.   No matter what your Sun sign, creating wealth from career is now the focus of her love.

“Money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.”  Nelson Mandela

Don’t sign on the bottom line yet!  Messenger Mercury’s retrograde period will end next Sunday, November 10th.  Meanwhile his mercurial ways are still tying knots in our communications and wiring.  

♡ Date Night:  Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo

Want a stable, sober, committed relationship?  Strike it up now while the planetary lovers are in divine harmony (until December 7th).  You need to be with someone whose values and integrity you admire.  Likely, you will solidify a friendship with someone you already know, perhaps through your work.  In any case, you will co-create something successful for your careers and/or the way in which you can be of service to others.  Not particularly glamorous, but very sure-footed.

“If women didn’t exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.”  Aristotle Onassis

The Force of wealth is with you.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of November 3-9, 2013:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)

November 12th is a time of testing for plans you initiated last June.  You’re having something akin to a roto rooter clean out the childhood conditioning clogging the pipeline to the transformations Pluto wants you to make in your career.  Your path to farsighted leadership gets an empowering solar flare.  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your solar house of career and ambition beginning November 5th.  This is her home, so you’re in for wealth, status, and success through recognition of your talents.  

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)

The Taurus Full Moon coming on November 17th marks an emotional turning point for your year.  Can you let go of your comfort zone in order to feel life more profoundly?  To intuit your way directly to your heart’s true desire?  You want the facts, yes, and you want to put your goals to the test of time.  But, there’s a “new you” being formed that wants to express herself with more passion.  Beginning November 5th, you don’t have to worry about where the money’s coming from.  You’re in harmonious trine with Venus in Capricorn who’ll be spending 5 months in your 9th solar house of travel and the higher mind.  This is the house of the scholar.  Long journeys for pleasure will work out beautifully for you.  You will have high ideals about love, but don’t try to convert your mate to your opinions.  

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)

Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your 8th solar house of corporate partnerships and inheritance beginning November 5th.  This is the same house where Pluto is now calling you to transform through your prophetic abilities and the alignment of your powerful will with what you truly want.  Money comes through paying close attention to the bottom line in deals you’ve made with others.  There’ll be discoveries that may carry intense emotional responses, but will ultimately benefit you financially.  Just be careful about making financial gain the motive for your actions.  By the end of this week the whole zodiac will be in water and earth signs, making it hard for you to catch your breath.  The exception is fiery Uranus. Lightning bolts are your friend and jolt you into the fresh air of sudden epiphanies.

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)

Closeness grows and relationships prosper.  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your 7th solar house of partnerships beginning November 5th.  Happy marriages are made here, and you’ll enjoy a popularity and public relations talent that can help you sell anything to anyone!  Next you can set your sights on November 12th when Generous Jupiter in Cancer (the reason your whole life has opened up in abundance since June 24th!) is solar powered in your house of romance and creativity bringing you more good fortune and success.  If you have any legal schmegal stuff pending, it will turn in your favor.  

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)

Sunday’s Eclipse in Scorpio may call you to make an important long-range decision, perhaps involving parents and/or home.  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your solar house of work and health beginning November 5th.  Working conditions will be very harmonious, and your health is excellent.  Investing artistically and socially in your work brings wealth;  for example, hosting an Open House is an excellent way to bring financial gain.  The idealism and flexible thinking that is your transformational treasure (see last week) needs a breath of fresh air now that most of the zodiac is in earth and water signs.  Your fire gets it’s only fuel from Uranus, so expect things to change suddenly and for the better.

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

If ever you wanted to create a great work of art, now is the time.  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your solar house of creativity beginning November 5th.  More than ever you are a lover of life, loaded with a sparkling effervescence!  (just right for the holidays!)  You attract love and romance as well as the wealth necessary to launch a new project successfully.  With most of the planets now in earth and water signs, your life has a flow and ease that’s remarkable.  Whatever you need will seem to appear on your doorstep without much effort on your part.  Yes, dear Virgo, you don’t have to work so hard!

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

You’ll have to take deeper breaths to keep up your oxygen with most planets in earth and water signs.  It may not be a steady flow, but you can rely on flashes of inspiration and ideas out of the blue.  November 12th puts your ideas to the test of authenticity.  If they ring true to your Calling, they get a solar powered boost of enthusiasm and deserved optimism.  Venus (your muse) in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your solar house of home and family beginning November 5th.  You’ll likely beautify your home, and/or it will be a source of wealth and income.  Working from home in order to improve your career will bring success.  Steve Jobs had Venus in Capricorn in his 4th house of home--Apple was created in his garage!  Need I say more?

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)

Your sense of what’s ahead is prophetic, and your immediate future protected by spiritual forces (angels that you know are there!).  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your solar house of communications beginning November 5th.  Money through media, computer sciences, and/or writing will be the place of financial success for you.  Watch November 12th for glorious good fortune when Generous Jupiter in Cancer gets solar powered by your Sun in Scorpio. This initiates a time of mental clarity, excellent powers of reasoning, and the self confidence to your ideas into the marketplace.

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

Put stickies saying “great adventure is just around the corner” where you can see them constantly.  There’s a heaviness of responsibilities in your environment right now, but it will lift dramatically by December 7th.  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your 2nd solar house of money and resources beginning November 5th.  This is a time of wealth and financial benefit, especially through partnerships with others.  Resources related to the arts, such as creating or buying a work of art, are your place of success.  You’ll use money to surround yourself with the comforts of life.  

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

The Scorpio Eclipse deepens friendships and brings someone new who can help you.  The zodiac is loaded in your favor with strong pathways for security and success, especially around November 12th.  Can you imagine week after week of good hair days?  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your solar house of self-expression beginning November 5th, beautifying you and your self-esteem.  Personal grace and friendliness improves business, marital, and romantic opportunities.  These are a source of wealth and happiness.  If you have talent in music or any art form, it will be a source of income and success.  

 

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

Pay it forward!  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your solar house of hopes, dreams and wishes beginning November 5th.  Even though you’re not ordinarily shy and retiring, Venus here will encourage your love of quiet and solitude.  Money spent altruistically, helping the downtrodden and poor, will be soulfully satisfying.  This is an incubation period and not one in which you actively go out and get what you want.  But this is going to shift significantly by December 7th, so for now rest your traveling bones and indulge your mind with some good reading.  Keep your ideas on note cards.  You can shuffle them into form later.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

Whatever you’ve had brewing in the cauldrons of your mind since October 21st, will get forward momentum November 10th.  Because your beliefs are strengthened by the test of honesty, you overcome your innate sensitive shyness.  You’re especially outgoing and optimistic.  November 12th is the high water mark for your month when Generous Jupiter in Cancer opens his cornucopia of creative ideas and they fall out into your romantic life.  The need for adventure is stirred and your mind travels in time and eternity.  Venus in Capricorn will spend 5 months in your solar house of friends and groups beginning November 5th.  The goddess of love adds more warmth to your friendships, to kindnesses given and received, and a wonderful chance to actualize your dreams.  

As light approaches, shadows deepen

Flames of revolutionary transformation flare up again, while Jupiter in Cancer sends a call to arms for the spiritual warrior in all of us.  Fight the good fight that is always within.  

Feel the pull?  A centrifugal force that’s pressing you into the outer realms of expanded consciousness.   Like being on the Tilt-A-Whirl at the circus that stretches you into an exhilarating experience even though your habit is to hunker down and hold on tighter to the safety bar.  Raise your hands in surrender and scream your way into a revelation.

What happens when the god of lightning breaks the chains off your prison doors, while the lord of the underworld shakes the splitting earth you stand on and shows you the buried treasure?

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”  John F. Kennedy

Another day for Atonement.  Friday at 3:30 am we have the 4th of 7 pinnacles in the long term Revolutionary Transformation of Uranus square Pluto.  It’s a high water mark for a change in consciousness, a quantum leap in toppling patriarchal dinosaurs in favor of cooperative connections of universal oneness.  Claim your treasure and walk out into the light of revelations.  

The depths of your Soul are stirred so vigorously that small winged bits of your true Calling flutter to the surface just in time for the New Moon Eclipse in Scorpio Sunday morning.  New skin.  New intentions.

“The highest revelation is that God is in everyone.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

♡ Date Night:  Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Virgo

Even though Mars is a mighty warrior, he’s not fast enough for his goddess of love.  When an stable earth sign like Virgo meets a fiery adventurous sign like Sagittarius, its the restless adventurer (Venus) who must reel in her immediacy to have the solid grounding Virgo (Mars) can bring.  Think of a volcano.  Your date night is set to be quite explosive and transforming.  

The Force of revelation is with you.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of October 27-November 2, 2013:

(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)

Pluto delivers the treasures you need to your 10th house of career and ambition; a highly developed willpower, farsighted leadership.  The restricting chains of obstinacy want to be broken now in order to allow you more freedom of self-expression.  Unusual scientific and intuitive talents are waiting to be freed up by discipling your restlessness.  Your chance to leap into a new beginning this week comes through your psychic sensitivity to what is unseen by most.  Expect intense emotions to accompany your revelations.  

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)

Your treasure lies in the depths of your quest for a higher spiritual identity which comes through searching the inner reaches of the mind.  Yoga and meditation are powerful ways to access your heightened intuitive and clairvoyant abilities right now.  The restricting chains (habits) of simply dabbling in the cosmic soup of the collective consciousness are breaking now.  Make a commitment even though your ego says it’s not practical!  Your chance to leap into a new beginning this week comes through Scorpio in your 7th solar house of relationships. Intense encounters provide you a closer look at the role your need for emotional security plays in choosing your partners.

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)

You have asked to be changed at depth.  Your treasure lies in the depths of your 8th solar house of transformation and rebirth.  Your powerful will combines with prophetic abilities to allow you to see the subtle play of energy patterns behind all events, producing insights into the new physics.  The restricting chains of over stimulating your active mind want to be broken now.  Lightning flashes reveal an open-mindedness unhampered by tradition. Your chance to leap into a new beginning comes through your house of health and healing asking you to set new intentions for a healthy diet.

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)

Your treasure lies in the way you allow your life to be changed through the partnerships you make.  You want to learn to be more cooperative and to share equally, which your profound insight into other people enables you to do when you chose to do it.  The restricting chains of resisting authority and routine responsibilities want to be broken in order to free your driving ambitions and your unusual style of leadership.  Your chance to leap into a new beginning on the Scorpio New Moon Eclipse comes through your creativity and romantic attractions.  This is a fertile time to birth a new life for yourself.  

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)

This is a time when your work greatly improves because of advanced techniques and progressive ideas that put you ahead of the times.  Let yourself be an idealist.  Be flexible, depart from orthodox beliefs that hold you back.  Your chance to leap into a new, progressive attitude requires you to drop judgement, especially where family or co-workers is concerned.  You can’t be happy and right.  Your health is good, both physically and mentally.  You have a positive attitude and healthy habits, but too much seriousness.

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

Your treasure lies in the depths of your creative power, which can be expressed through profound works of art, intense love experiences, and fostering the growth of your talented (even genius!) children.  Your challenge is to exercise detachment from the material world and let yourself be inspired from higher levels consciousness. Look for lightning flashes that open up your telepathic “knowing” of the mysteries beyond the physical plane; of death and rebirth.  You know that the only true thing anyone can say about the past is, It’s gone.  Your chance to leap into a new consciousness requires refusing to allow the emotional leftovers of childhood to influence your thoughts.   Be curious and ditch anything that smells like monotony.  

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

Your treasure and your transformation lies in your deeply rooted heritage and your powerful connection to Mother Earth.  You are mining for gold with your ability to know her secrets, to join with the beauty of nature all around you, to know that everything is alive and speaks to you.  The god of lighting wants to free you from partnerships that inhibit your freedom and independence, and fill your life with exciting unions and inspiring friends. Your chance to leap into a new beginning comes through your ability to hold onto your resources, contain your creativity, and let it “cook.”  Own it.  Your business ability brings you material comforts and security.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)

The whole zodiac tilts in your favor, making you very powerful and your opinions strong.  Your treasure lies in the depths of your penetrating mind.  You will not compromise your beliefs unless undisputed facts are put in front of you.  Originality of thinking, mental resourcefulness, help you solve scientific puzzles.  You are able to use unusual healing techniques to be of great service--or just to fix your neighbors computer!  Your challenge is to suck it up and accept the routine hum drum of life.  Life will dish up enough excitement on its own.  The Scorpio New Moon Eclipse in the wee hours of Sunday morning are your chance to reset your confidence and believe in yourself.  

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

You’re in the midst of a transformation about money and the driving ambition to accumulate it.  You have a great resourcefulness and insight in this area, and now you can expect some inside information that helps you.   You know that money is energy and abundance takes many forms.  Flashes of lightning blast through your house of creativity, putting you on the stage or onto an ingenious artistic expression.  You're under a bohemian influence and prone to the socially unconventional.  It inspires you not to the gypsy life, but to color outside the lines!  You’ll feel extremely sensitive and reluctant to say what you feel as the Scorpio New Moon Eclipse builds toward early Sunday morning.  Let yourself withdraw and listen to that deeper Voice.  

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

Oh dear Capricorn you, more than any other sign, have been undergoing a period of intense self-awareness while developing your powerful will.  You’ve been able to hide your innermost self, being somewhat a loner and aloof, until now.  There is so much more to you than you’ve manifested, until now.  Your treasure comes through your amazing survival techniques, that powers your initiative.  One outlet for your energy could be working with advanced forms of technology, very favorable for you.  Flashes of lightning shine a new light on your home and family situation.  Ready or not, you’re moving on!

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

Psychological understanding and mysticism are the cutting edges of growth and transformation for you now.  You have such easy access to unconscious material that its like bees, the messengers of the gods, are buzzing ‘round your head right now.  This is clearing a channel so that you have telepathic intuition about those you love.  Your challenge is avoid being preoccupied with problems, and instead use your intuitive powers to offer hope amidst the chaos of the world.  Lightning flashes through your third solar house of communications freeing your thinking from the influence of others.  Your mind may be restless, causing you to jump to conclusions.  So stay open.  Write.  Give your insights practical feet.  The New Moon Eclipse in Scorpio, coming at the end of this week, brings recognition and puts you in the public eye.  

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

You have been attracting powerful friends who join you as co-creators in helping humanity.  You’re growing through the successful partnerships you’re establishing.  Its your cooperation with them that  brings you a wealth of personal knowledge.  You have unusual talents for making money, and a challenge to curb impulsive or abrupt spending.  Flashes of bright light abound in your second solar house of resources,  giving you unique insights into the use, and waste, of our natural resources.  The Scorpio New Moon Eclipse coming at the end of this week opens a window for a broader world view seen through your heart, not your head.  The universe is prompting you to go deeper into your spiritual values and let your mind travel!

Goodbye Libra, hello Scorpio.  Tuesday the Sun joins Mercury in Scorpio at 11:09 PM, PDT. Having made cooperative partnerships in Libra, we now plume their depths in Scorpio.  What is hidden below the that calm surface?  What does she know but doesn’t reveals?

♡ Date Night:  Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Virgo

He said _ _ _, she said _ _ _.  The need to win the argument can lock you in a rutted old problem that has nothing to do with now.  Try a little tenderness, which won’t come easily with the Moon in fiery, dramatic Leo and the Sun in silent and deadly Scorpio.  Fire and water.  If you can stand the heat without boiling over, you have a chance for steamy romance with a new depth of feeling.  But you must stay the course.

“A writer should have this little voice inside saying; Tell the truth.  Reveal a few secrets here.”  Quentin Tarantino

The Force of honesty is with you.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of October 20-26, 2013:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)

You're not going to drown in the plethora of feelings that inundate you now, but it might feel like you are.  When the Sun dives into Scorpio’s deep and secretive waters this Tuesday, it may add more confusion about what you really feel than you’re used to. Especially since it’s on top of Mental Mercury’s U Turn that has you retracing your steps, your least favorite thing to do!  As an Aries you never look back, which is the charm of your aggressiveness, and the reason you never stay angry or resentful--a lesson you could teach Scorpio!

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)

The push-me pull-you juggernaught of self will is being put to the test.  Are you still defending certain secrets, or are your honest convictions gaining in strength?  When the Sun moves into Scorpio this Tuesday just before midnight, you’re invited to delve into this conflict.  When your anxiety is up, you’ve chosen self will.  When your vitality is up, you’ve chosen honestly.  Tune into the tenderness of Wednesday’s Cancer Moon and feel your way into the place where your safety lies.  Reason and responsibility, your usual tools, are greatly heightened through the end of the week.

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)

Who opened the dam?  A flood of memories and their accompanying feelings wash in with the Sun’s move into Scorpio this Tuesday, just one day after your muse (Mental Mercury) does a U Turn in your house of partnerships.  They’re all up for review.  Their may be some backlash from having spoken out too quickly.  Even though your words were honest, they were delivered without having all the facts.  This is the lesson Scorpio can teach you.  Be your curious self, but keep stirring your brilliant ideas until they “cook.”  That’s where the alchemy is.  

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)

Big ideas are topped with a layer of tenderness.  Your best days this week begin Wednesday evening and last through Saturday morning.  Thursday you get out the broom to clean up the negative spill over of a series of crisis turned to opportunities.   A big cornucopia of peaceful, easy feelings opens wide on Friday afternoon and pours out the good karma of giving and receiving help from others.  Pain dissolves in a deep pool of connectedness.  

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)

Saturday is your lucky day when a bright light breaks the darkness of the past.  You are determined to create something new and different, especially in the way you express yourself.  The Scorpio Sun is a drag!  Refuse to be bogged down in it’s messy cauldron of power struggles.  Your way out is through Venus in fiery Sagittarius who counsels you to be frankly outspoken and to hold on to your ideals.  Say what you wanna say even if others think you’re too idealistic for a world in which dishonesty may often seem more profitable than honesty.

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

The Scorpio Sun winks at your Virgo intensity of purpose and makes light of your secrets. When Messenger Mercury (your muse) makes his U Turn Monday, you allow yourself to simply take out the eraser and make your mistakes disappear.  They were written in #2 pencil anyway!  Never meant to be lasting.  Your appetite for life takes a lucky turn Thursday down the street of generosity.  Your healing hands have a tender touch.  Lay them on everyone you meet.  Wear your “Free Hugs” sign on your chest.  

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

You’re used to debating with yourself, and now it takes on an unusual but helpful intensity. You’re determined to get to the bottom of things.  Under the Scorpio Sun, with Messenger Mercury making a U Turn in your house of resources, you ferret out those secret treasures that you’ve been afraid to show-off.  Fear of conflict may be a strong deterrent, especially when someone’s words fall out without love.  Don’t fall for the fear and let your most honest words disappear.  With so many planets in hold-it-in water signs, the god of lightning quick insights is your best friend, and Venus in fiery Sagittarius helps you tell it like it is!

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)

We want to see you be brave, be above board.  Tuesday begins your birthday month, and your personal New Year.  Memories bubble beneath your calm surface in spite of yourself. Messenger Mercury in your sign has sharpened your language and your intuition for the past three weeks.  Now he takes you into the even deeper realms, where you’ve hidden treasures from your own self.  Retrace your steps back to September 29th.  Shine a light on your past resentments.  Forgive.  It’s all a perceptual game anyway!

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

In a time when so much is happening behind the scenes, you listen only to the words of love and honesty.  With the Sun’s move into secretive Scorpio this Tuesday, you’ll feel the 180 turn in direction as a confusing messy bog of words left unsaid.  Not your natural style!  However, the need to rethink your words and add in a better filter will be the gift for you from Scorpio.  You already know how to keep a secret, you just don’t value the concept.  Your wisdom knows that words kept on the inside, with no sunlight, let the shadows win.

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

As the determined step by step Mountain Goat, you see nothing to be gained by retracing your steps.  Yet that’s what is called for beginning this Monday when your thoughts naturally turn over a rock or two.  What have you missed that’s right under your feet?  Did you misread a signpost?  You’re accustomed to climbing your way to your highest ambitions, but with the Sun’s move into Scorpio this Tuesday you need to feel your way through.  You question your purpose, even if it seems to take your from your goal.  

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

The tensions are building inside you, but you don’t want it to show.  With the Sun in secretive Scorpio beginning Tuesday, your gut reactions burn with an intensity that’s initially uncomfortable but leads you to the truth.  Let you compassionate concern for the world’s troubles take a back seat to your own desires.  This is not selfish dear Aquarian, you’re one of the great masses you want to help.  What if you trace your actions back to September 28th, and look for the places you lost your truth?  What or who got under your skin?  Say what you want to say, even if you don’t think you’re heard.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

A harmonious time of the year starts for you this Tuesday when the Sun shines in Scorpio. Your face lights up with the truth of who you really are.  Notice your feelings Thursday, Jupiter’s traditional day of thanksgiving, opens a lucky portal for you.  Let your honest opinions fly free!  When the Scorpio Sun shines his light on Visionary Neptune (in your sign) at 3:40 PM, PDT, your spirits are lifted to spiritual truths that make you downright brave.  Let your words fall out.
