For All Signs On Oct. 13 we experienced a new moon eclipse in Libra, sign of balance and relationships. The presence of Jupiter, Mars, Sun and Mercury in Libra even more dramatically emphasizes the need to focus on the areas of partnership and sharing. Many of us will be searching out the best ways to achieve fairness and equality in our significant relationships. Surely political and global attention will be focused in this arena as well.
Aries Early in the week relationships will be fun and easy. Love and social life are accented. Later in this period you may be feeling a conflict with a significant person. Now is the time to bring out your best negotiation tools and practice on creating win-win solutions.
Taurus Relationship circumstances may seem strange and vaguely manipulative this week. Watch the tendency to leap in an attempt to prove how much you care about another. Step aside from the temptation to pressure another into the same trap. Keep intense feelings honest for best results.
Gemini You will experience a shift of focus this week from relationships to work on the self. You will feel the need for self-improvement in some area. It is possible you will experience this as simply a desire for greater order in your environment.
Cancer This is the week that bridges two eclipses for Moon Children. You may feel with much more intensity than is usual. Do your best to avoid taking action on feelings until the dust settles. You could be overreacting, so take your time.
Leo Early in July you began a project of self-study and self-improvement. It may have had a spiritual component. From last July to next is a time of depth work on self-knowledge in preparation for the emergence of your new identity in the fall of 05.
Virgo You are in a temporary physical dip, so do your best to eat what your body wants, take your vitamins, and get plenty of sleep. You may have intense feelings concerning a member of the family right now. Give yourself a break from unhappy feelings. Go to a funny movie.
LibraYou have so many things on your platter that there is a danger you will disregard those who are significant in your life. Do your best to acknowledge your distraction and give others as much patience as you need for yourself these days.
Scorpio Continue to remain cool regarding controversy and remain in the background when it is nearby. Life feels intense now. Do not allow yourself to be drawn into sticky relationship situations in which one of you must “prove” your love to the other.
Sagittarius Focus every bit of tact and diplomacy you have on maintaining positive relations at work. Avoid allowing anyone to drag you to the “dark sided” attitude. It is difficult to maintain a sense of trust in that environment right now, but fearful feelings only generate more fear.
Capricorn You are continuing to pour energy into a relatively new career endeavor. At present it appears that your original vision may be changing directions. It is possible career issues are interfering with your primary relationship. Spend time with your partner.
Aquarius Your big heart is especially soft this week, and you may be volunteering to help others by sharing resources. This is good as long as it is by choice. If you feel manipulated, it is not in your best interest to allow it. Give freely what you want to give and leave the rest to others.
Pisces Favorable news comes your way concerning investments, loans, or gifts of value that come from other people. You may be called upon to make decisions quickly. Contracts are highlighted. Activities involving travel, education, the law, or publishing are favored.
