Scorpio
The Phoenix: (Oct. 23 — Nov. 20)
You may be the pivotal force for good or ill in a drama of several people. How you handle yourself, what you say, and the expression on your face will help or hinder an important situation. Maintain calm and do not overreact, lest others expand the disturbance.
For All Signs: Multiple aspects this week suggest the information floating about is neither clear nor accurate. Much of what we hear will be confusing, out of context, disorienting or just flatly deceptive. There has never been a better cosmic setup for negotiation and information breakdowns. This applies everywhere, so give careful thought to what you are communicating and ask others to confirm what they understood you to say. Gossip may be rampant, but we are wiser not to participate in its circulation. This is clearly a good time for healthy skepticism and double-checking.
Aries: You will likely experience a need to go back and review financial history. Be alert to the probability of errors. You may make them, or alternatively, you may discover and correct them. Forgotten bills may return to haunt you. Your thoughts drift back to previous love affairs.
Taurus: Right now the front row factors in your life are all about the “other(s)” in your sphere. You and your partner(s) may be experiencing challenges in the relationship or with others. Family and/or property concerns may feel cumbersome. Life is complicated.
Gemini: Aspects suggest that you may be looking for a quarrel or an intellectual scuffle. Use caution with this energy. If a genuine debate is in order, then you are clearly “up” for it. But if you refuse to hear the other, then you are probably going overboard. Whatever angers you is more related to your past than present circumstances.
Cancer: Although most of the other signs are experiencing general turmoil, you are in a relative state of peace. It may fall to you to be a good listener and supporter to all the others. Travel, legal interests, education, and publishing are favored activities.
Leo: Necessary expenses (not of the “fun” type) may develop this week. You could be having a blue mood. It is one of those times when we become aware that our loved ones can never know or understand fully what is inside of us. This is an existential dilemma that everyone encounters now and then. It will pass.
Virgo: You may feel as though you came from another planet this week. Communications may be misunderstood, snarled, or lost altogether. It would be very easy to lose your temper in the midst of this turmoil. Compensate by speaking clearly for yourself and listening very carefully to what the other tells you.
Libra: You may be concerned about financial resources. If you have made errors in the past concerning accounting or debts, they are likely to reveal themselves during this month. You could be feeling isolated right now. Perhaps quiet is what you need in order to handle dilemmas.
Sagittarius: You are in an especially open frame of mind at this time and likely to share whatever you have to offer with others. Your spirits are high and you have a need to be social. You are interested in whatever feels luxurious, looks beautiful, or tickles the senses. Going overboard would be all too easy!
Capricorn: You may be taking a sober look at one or more relationships. Even the very closest friends cannot know each other from the inside. Sometimes we forget this fact and need to become aware that we are actually separate beings, helping when we can. Sometimes our energy is too low to be there for one another.
Aquarius: This is one of those times in which you may want to stop the world and exit for awhile. Circumstances surrounding your partner are confusing and you may be feeling personally responsible. You are not. Sometimes things just are what they are and it is no one’s “fault.” This is a difficult Mercury retrograde. Just hang on until the end of the month.
Pisces: The Pisces Fish may be swimming in both directions and getting nowhere fast this week. Incoming information is particularly complicated and iffy. Don’t trust it until you verify. And don’t let it carry you off in a funk because it is likely inaccurate. Concentrate on getting plenty of rest. Your physical cycle is in a dip.
