For All Signs It is striking that two planets, Mars and Jupiter, will be entering the sign of Libra this week. Mars, the original god of war, moves into Libra on the 26th. Jupiter, planet of generosity and expansion will move into Libra on the 24th. The pair in the sign of Libra represents considerable effort given to the condition of peace and harmony. Partnerships and sharing will be significant in the news. It’s interesting that this planetary arrangement travels together until one week beyond election day.
Aries The next few weeks focus heavily on the “others” in your life and the state of your relationships. Renew and share energy with your partner, business associates and close friends. Rather than pressuring others to your point of view, working toward win-win solutions is more beneficial.
Taurus This week particularly favors relationships to family and lovers. If you need a favor, this is definitely the time to ask. You may be enjoying adding beauty to your home or workplace. Next week give special attention to who comes into your life and note what messages they bring.
Gemini This week marks the beginning of a powerful shift of attention in your life. Wonderful things are beginning in connection to children, romance, and creative enterprises. You will soon be feeling happier and more vibrant than any time in the recent past.
Cancer This week presents more than one request for help or service to the multiple people in your life. Do what you must and look forward to next week. Someone of significance crosses your path. S(he) brings opportunities to learn and expand your territory and connections.
Leo Unexpected twists of schedule and events press you to adapt to circumstances this week. Persevere and look forward to the week that follows, specifically around the 5th of October, when many of the small annoyances you feel melt into a sense of “rightness.”
Virgo A favorable opportunity to express yourself creatively begins the week. Things move on from there and you can see a way to improve your income. There is only one word of warning. You may be unusually impulsive in your excitement over the positive news. Watch your tendency to spend too freely.
Libra You have three planets, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter, moving into your sign now. The shift in energy may be a rush. Mercury/Mars will emphasize communications, short distance travels, and contracts. You will make multiple decisions soon. See next week for a full description of Jupiter’s transit.
Scorpio Over the next six weeks, life will work more smoothly if you let yourself be led by the “signs,” circumstances, and people around you. It will not be a time to attack in anger or initiate new ideas, but to respond to what comes your way.
Sagittarius Now is the beginning of a brand new focus of attention. It involves tapping into a much greater network of connections. Along the way, there may be activities concerning children or a lover. Fresh creative enterprises are blossoming everywhere!
Capricorn There is major activity occurring in your home and career sector over the next two weeks. New opportunities are moving onto your radar screen. Consider using the internet to expand your territory. Your career is on the rise, but it has been slow. Stay with it.
Aquarius This week you finally get a “go ahead” on a career opportunity which will have slow, but steady growth with application of effort. Next week brings a pat on the head from a person of moderate power. Travel plans for either this week or next should flow smoothly.
Pisces This is the beginning of a long positive streak in your financial world. Your resources expand considerably through the sale of property, inheritance or gifts from others, investments, or possibly insurance payoffs. Use this “unearned income” wisely.
