Libra (September 22-October 23)
How is your home improvement project coming? Now is the time to knock down walls, pull down old curtains, pull up old rugs, clean out closets, and generally get the show on the road. Perhaps rent a Dumpster or get a deluxe ticket to the local transfer station. Don’t worry if you lack the plan or the funds to finish the job—start with starting the job and you will clear the energy sufficiently to let the funds, the plan and the time come in. I see the image of making things not only bigger from the inside, but substantially better. This astrology lasts throughout the year, but the coming week or so (preferably this weekend) is unusually magnificent for starting projects that get greater-than-possible results. The issue is precisely one of how you use, arrange, organize, and work within physical space. Try making some small adjustment and see what happens.
Scorpio (October 23-November 22)
A loved one may seem like he or she is on an adventure; and if it happens to be with someone else, take the chance to do all that introspective stuff that you know you need to do. If it happens to be with you, make sure you get some time to yourself the next couple of weeks (and I extend this idea to all who are born under Mars-ruled signs, including Aries and Capricorn). We are in the final weeks of a rare Mars retrograde. There is something deep in your psyche that is striving to heal itself, to mend and join with itself. It is surely possible to do that in a sexual context with another person, but the more meaningful journey at this point will be allowing the hemispheres of your own mind to mend and heal into one unity. You need to see the opposite viewpoints you have about yourself, review your agreements with yourself, and see yourself from both sides of the mirror.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 22)
You may not feel like you need to do any financial restructuring, but in a few weeks it will be obvious why this will benefit you. But closer to the point is some deep question that has arisen where your values are concerned. You seem to be caught in a maze where you feel certain things at certain times, and then you turn a corner and it’s as if all those things were suddenly no longer true. You might value the quest for perfectly unnecessary real estate (or purchases) one minute and unmitigated altruism the next. The two seem to have no meeting place, and worse, they may be at odds. Plus, at the moment you have so many ideas about life it’s impossible to tell what is really true, what is meaningful, and what is real. I suggest you dance with the confusion for a while. Soon enough, you will discover an organizing principle around which to make your decisions about what counts and what doesn’t.
Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
This must be an intense moment of anticipation for you: If it’s not, meditate and tune in, because the planets are moving, in particular, Pluto. The world is vibrating with the approaching shift of Pluto into your birth sign. Even the slugs on the political slime trail in New Hampshire and Iowa have been talking about change, change, change. For you, this is a moment of release from a kind of vacuum that you don’t necessarily know you’ve been in. You are likely to discover that the spell breaks and you can suddenly feel yourself existing, living, breathing, and changing. But not quite yet...the moment has not arrived. The planets depict you in your chrysalis, stirring to life, but not quite at the moment of cracking open the case and emerging in your new form. Yet it is only a matter of days, and you know one thing at least—after so many changes, you are still alive.
