For All Signs The Jewish High Holy Days began on Sept. 27 with Rosh Hashana and conclude following ten days of prayer with Yom Kippur on Oct. 6th. This significant period of judgment and repentance marks the New Year in the Jewish calendar, based upon the lunar cycles. It commemorates the beginning of the world of humankind and celebrates the Maker with ceremony and meditation upon the quality of our thoughts and deeds. It marks a time of cleansing, forgiveness and renewal of spirit. If only all in the world could borrow from that model, it could save the planet.
Aries Even though your ruling planet, Mars, is now in direct motion, its position suggests that you are wiser to be still and quiet. Until the end of this year, life will work more smoothly if you let yourself be led by the “signs,” circumstances, and people around you.
Taurus Venus, your ruling planet, has entered the 7th house of relationships and has favorable aspects through Oct. 22. She brings improvements in clientele, social life, and partnerships. This is a good time to ask for a consultation if you need it.
Gemini This is a good week to keep your mouth zipped. No matter what you say, it may be misunderstood and someone could be offended. This is particularly so with lovers, children and authority figures. Aspects are difficult for travel, education and the law.
Cancer In a symbolic way you are asked to be the healer of another. The problem is that you have already been wounded in battle and you cannot trust what this “other” may do with your kinder acts. Look for a way to extend the open hand without giving away the store or becoming a martyr.
Leo There is a major disagreement in your environment, perhaps a struggle between coworkers and the authorities or the “rules.” Whether or not you wanted the job, it is probably yours to negotiate and help the factions to avoid coming to blows.
Virgo You are particularly sensitive this week. This could manifest in difficulty with allergies or other hard-to-define physical discomforts. You may be easily wounded by misunderstood comments of others. If you experience this, make an effort to ask for an explanation.
Libra You may find yourself as the arbiter in a major disagreement between two opposing factions. Fortunately negotiation is one of your better assets. Property and/or family issues may be prominent; it is your responsibility to help resolve an issue that began in July.
Scorpio Although you would like to move forward in a significant relationship, there is something just below the surface that keeps you from doing so. You are sensing a mental or emotional issue of your own, although the “other” may have it as well.
Sagittarius The greater cycles indicate you are in a favorable period. This particular week is a quiet one in which you may enjoy the fruits of your labors and your social life. You may be the only zodiac sign with a reasonably good horoscope this week.
Capricorn Circumstances at this time have reached a crucial turning point in a long struggle between you and another. The solution is to forgive, but you cannot have control over anyone else in this situation. Be conscientious about stepping aside from ego skirmishes.
Aquarius You likely will be getting mixed signals in the areas of travel, education, the law, and/or church activities. Some will tell you what you want to hear, but when you dig to the bottom line, you may find the facts have been rearranged just enough to mislead you.
Pisces The focus of attention for the Fish is on the subjects of finances in the territory of debts and debtors, insurance, and investments. There seems to be interference and misunderstandings in any of these areas. Sexual life and intimacy fare much better.
