This week we’ll take a more serious look at how the astronomical advent of Autumn can encourage us to make the most of the new fall season. I recommend that everyone start making their holiday gift lists now, so that all of those knitted scarves will be ready in time for white elephant parties.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22):
The Sun entered your sign on Saturday. Consider sharing the bounty of your birthday with a solid celebration this week. The Sun and Mercury in your sign later this week opposing Uranus can make for unexpected changes. Be open to new ideas and sudden disruptions, as they can open unexpected doors in communication.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21):
The Sun and Mercury will create a 90-degree angle with Pluto, your ruling planet, in the sign of Capricorn mid-week. Watch out for tests in your work and communications. This could be a tough time, but take it as a guide for improvement.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Relationships and work might face disruption and change this week. These frustrations are a great opportunity to examine your life and to see what could benefit from purposeful changes.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19):
This week could spell some major breakthroughs for you. Pluto is charging through your sign, and while things may have fallen apart or been stalled recently, there are improvements on the horizon.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18):
Be careful about your communications this week. While you may see everything that needs improvement as an opportunity to be of service, remember to be considerate in the way you present this “could-be-better” advice to others.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
This week may require a lot of you emotionally. Be aware that there are times when we all need to take a break from the hard work of daily life in order to reflect on the dreamier side of things. Be careful not to confuse the two.
Aries (March 21 – April 19):
Take the time this week to let the fire inside rage a bit. Focus on creating something new, or explaining your views and desire for change with a like-minded companion.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20):
This week is a hodgepodge for you. All I can say is that you should listen to your mother: This, too, shall pass. Let it roll off your back. Are you eating enough? Get some fresh air. Whatever you need, it’s there.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21):
With the new moon in your sign, this is an excellent time to write down your goals for the coming month. Consider making a calendar on your bathroom mirror with chalk pens to remind you of what you would like to accomplish.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22):
I recommend taking the time to freshen up your most important space, whether it’s your backpack, your car, your craft bins or your pantry. Figure out what’s needed and make a list for stocking up.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22):
Be wary of the warrior Mars traveling through your sign. This time can feel energized and competitive, which can be put to good use with ample caution as an accompaniment. Make sure your battles are virtuous!
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22):
School is really starting to eat up everyone’s life, so don’t feel down this week.
The new moon in your companion sign of Gemini is a great opportunity for planning ahead.
