Sun Sign Predictions

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

 

It’s the weirdest thing. Like you stepped into another realm, but you’re not sure you meant to. It’s a kind of dream where you know the language, but when you speak no one understands you. Disorientation peaks on November 15th. Don’t fight or deny it. Investigate. It is what it is. You may feel at sea, but your boat is seaworthy. On the 2nd, pay full attention to a significant other whose love reminds you what is important. As disorienting as you feel at the moment, you look pretty good from the 7th on. It doesn’t seem to get you what you want from the 19th to 23rd, but there are surprises on the 25th. Love soldiers on, but romantic delusions from the 23rd through 27th get you nowhere.

 

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 20

 

If you aren’t doing the right thing by your people, it’s likely you’re doing the wrong thing. Stand up for, and by, your friends. Right action that champions truth is your mandate, even if it costs you something. Misguided intentions on November 8th – 11th lead you to say what you don’t mean. Apologies go a long way to making your situation easier from the 11th – 14th. Contemplate the meaning of life from the 16th to 20th. An irritating secret comes to light on the 19th. Clear the air. Look for Jupiter, (shining, not twinkling) in the western sky after sunset. It’s your ruling planet, and after the 21st it’s predisposed to granting you a boon, especially from the 26th to 29th.

 

Capricorn: December 21 – January 19

 

Expectations are many. But you know there is no one person who can save the world or even your world. We like to think of ourselves as singular, and therefore in charge of our destiny, but it’s truly one world and everything and everyone is connected to everything and everyone. Take comfort in this profound truth. Do not shoulder the burden as if you are the only one. On November 2nd celebrate in the simplest of ways your good fortune to be alive in this world with all other living things. It’s all relative. Ponder truth and lies on the 8th to 15th and avoid schemes and scams. All that seemed lost before the 16th struggles to be found from the 19th through 26th. Keep an open mind, but don’t be naïve.

 

Aquarius: January 20 – February 17

 

The truth seems plain, but there is always another perspective. It doesn’t alter truth, but it can challenge assumptions. Don’t assume you know something you only really think you know. Do the research. On November 1, 6, 10, 11, 15, 19, 23 and 26, you are challenged in the best way by the best people and the most worthy of circumstances. Resist the urge to disconnect emotionally. Engaging with these challenges will give you the opportunity to discover the kind of wisdom that can only come from experience. On the 17th, affirm your commitment to life. The best thing about life is clearly living it.

 

Pisces: February 18 – March 19

 

Irony is everywhere. Everything that has a front has a back: the greater the light, the darker the shadow. You know this. Maybe it was a Pisces who invented irony in the first place. Don’t let it frighten you. We do the best we can and rarely do we feel it was good enough – but it is. It’s all you can do, in fact. The rest requires a good wind and perhaps grace. Trust your inner wisdom, even in the face of other people’s judgments. You are especially brilliant on November 11th through 14th, and on the 25th. Be proactive about your health now and for the next six months. Everything you do to make yourself stronger and more resilient is a good investment. Don’t be afraid to work hard.                                                           

 

Aries: March 20 – April 19

 

The person you’re with – be it your true love or the person at the check-out counter – is as real as you are. S/he has the same capacity to experience life as you do. Take responsibility for how you affect others in the simplest most elegant way: be kind. It will come back to you 10 times 10 over the next six months. Don’t trust superficial social interactions to show you the truth of people’s feelings. If you are patient and give people time to reveal their deeper feelings, they will. You don’t have to stifle yours, neither is it necessary to overdo the expression of your feelings. We are connected by underground rivers that our hearts can navigate better than our minds.

 

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

 

The world is tense. Whether it applies to you or not is another story. On November 1st through 5th, consider all your relations – the two leggeds as well as the four leggeds, not to mention the winged ones and ones with gills. What makes you a part of this planet is that you are alive. So be it! From November 8th through 15th use spiritual wisdom and do what you must. Pace yourself. Your energies will be needed over time. On the 16th through 24th, everyone has a gripe about how you do this and that. Concentrate on your significant other. What you give will return to you in kind. If you’re single, see what you can scare up from the 25th through 30th. Whoever you find won’t be exactly as they seem.

 

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

 

Generally, you set your life up with lots of wiggle room. You have recently entered a phase when there is none. Either you are in or you are out. You either want to be intimate – to give and receive with another, to learn trust and risk yourself – or you don’t. Daunting as it may sound, life has never been more interesting. You have lots to learn and lots to say. Express yourself in words, music or handiwork, even when it feels impossible. If you can’t sing – write. If you have no words – draw. Just keep in the flow. The suffering of the world weighs heavily on all the minds and hearts of its inhabitants. Let your contribution be your ability to tell the story – your own as well as others.

 

Cancer: June 21 – July 21

 

Some say that the urge to purge is good – clears energy that blocks the flow of life. Simple truth is that clearing out dead weight is part of the flow and doesn’t require ‘time out’ from life. It is life. This month requires you to look deeply into the issues of relationship and home. If it’s time to move, maybe there is someone who wants to live with you. Or maybe the possibility of moving back home looms and it’s not what you want. Be easy. Life really unfolds as it will, our job is to ride the waves and remain open-hearted and courageous. Best days for inspiration are November 9, 11, 14 and 25. The rest of the month is about getting on with what has to be done.

 

Leo: July 22 – August 22

 

Apply yourself to the task at hand, be it ditch-digging or writing the great Canadian novel. It’s your effort that makes the difference. Observe your impulses from November 1st through 5th, and gain valuable insight about your ambitions, as well as who supports you and who drains you. Behind every successful person are inevitably a host of others. Choose your team with care. Love comes perilously close to the rocks from November 8th to 15th, and especially on the 19th through 23rd, if you insist on having it your way. You have the stronger will, but love cannot be free when will is what holds it fast. It’s like the old poem says, “Love isn’t love till you give it away.” The one you love is like a bird. His or her heart shuts down in captivity. You understand this more easily from the 26th through 29th.  

 

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

 

You’re off the hook in the big scheme for the moment. The daily ups and downs will always seem big to you, but what is required now is that you stand by your muse. Communication enriched with authentic expression of feelings works well from November 1st to 9th. Anything less is annoying and will bear no fruit. Support and empathy comes to you out of the blue from the 11th to 14th, and again on the 25th. Let it in. There is always something new to learn about people you think you know well. Unplug from the web of the mind between the 18th and 23rd and connect with the web of creation – the turning of the wheel of the year: darkening days, naked trees and broken flowers. Renewal is born of respect for nature and her cycles.

 

Libra: September 22 – October 22

 

It’s a new cycle for you. So much is expected and yet there is an undertow pulling from below or behind. Libra doesn’t get it. Make priorities on November 1st through 5th. Make sure they include time for romance, art or children from the 8th to 15th. If you feel pulled under, the thing to do is acknowledge the past and then move on. Romantic frustration is intense from the 19th to 26th – partly because insisting that your dream comes true exactly the way you want makes it hard for you to enjoy the goodness that actually surrounds you. Be surprised and grateful on the 25th when something good comes your way that acknowledges how wonderful you are. Don’t anticipate – it will not be what you expect.
