Scorpio The Phoenix (Oct. 23-Nov. 20):
You are up for an entire change of lifestyle and cleansing of the critic who plagues you. Your career is becoming unworkable in your life, so a new education is on the horizon. If you accept these changes as positive, your ego will not feel so pounded by the critic.
For All Signs: Saturn is squaring Pluto in the zodiac at this time. This square continues its influence through 2010 and beyond. It represents a demand to eliminate unnecessary and/or dead structures in our lives. It calls for breakdown of any structure with hidden damage, followed by rebuilding its integrity. Its darkest aspect generates a type of paranoia in which we distrust anything or anyone that we cannot see fully. At worst, there will be rightist accusers from all directions. As individuals we must not allow our minds to run rampant with fear at this time. Change is scary to most of us. In the paragraphs that follow, I will describe how this square will affect us individually. Read both your sun and ascending signs. Those who are born early in their signs (21st to 26th) will feel this energy from the beginning.
Aries: Your career demands an overhaul. This may come via reorganization of the hierarchy, or moving the workplace. You may be given a different job or at worst, no job for a time. Don’t fight it. Think about how you can change to adapt.
Taurus: Any misdoing in the legal and ethics department in life will likely be brought to exposure. If you are clean, stay that way. You may not be thrilled with changes in the workplace at the moment, but you really cannot afford to leave.
Gemini: Issues concerning debt, insurance, inheritance or family resources are under pressure. If you are of childbearing age, you may be pressured to make a difficult decision. It is best not to get pregnant for now.
Cancer: Downsizing is a good idea for you, but your partner may oppose this option entirely. Seek a trusted friend or counselor to help you negotiate a solution to the issues facing each of you now. A separation in an unseasoned relationship could be helpful now to regain perspective.
Leo: Your work and daily routine are being overhauled. The pressure is on in the workplace and among co-workers. If you are not happy with this situation, consider learning a new trade or skill that will help you redefine yourself. Pour considerable energy into self-help and self-improvements.
Virgo: It is possible you are wanting to start a business or develop a creative enterprise. The economy is not going to recover rapidly, so keep your investments small at the beginning and invest more on positive results later. Circumstances may be forcing a decision on the subject of whether or not to have a child.
Libra: Changes in family circumstances may be causing you to rethink yourself or to adapt to an altered identity. It is better to see those shadows and deal with them upfront. Otherwise they may bite you in the you-know-where.
Sagittarius: Your income will be coming from a different source. It is possible that the Powers That Be may reduce your hours or your salary. Consider developing skills and resources in another field over the next couple of years.
Capricorn: This square is tied to your identity and your career. Its manifestation depends on your stage in life. At this time you may take on a career challenge greater than ever. On the other hand, if you are older, you realize it is nearing time to let go of the reins.
Aquarius: Over the next couple of years you may be spending time traveling or working on a new education. Issues of ethics and morals are presented for your consideration. Any leftover demons or secrets from earlier in your life may surface for cleansing.
Pisces: If you have a business with clientele, you can figure that their access to funds is diminished in general. You need to think about offering new services or products that cost less (both to yourself and your clients). Keep a careful eye on investments.
