Heart of the Fall ~ the Season of Scorpio

October 26th, 2014 Comments off

All Signs
The Sun has moved into intense Scorpio as we enter the heart of the fall season. Mercury has just gone direct (phew!) and the pace of our days gets back on track. Mars slips into Capricorn encouraging us to work hard, and Hallowe’en is right around the corner (the ultimate Scorpio holiday!). Many of us feel the need to go inward and reflect on this past year. It’s a time to consider our current wants, needs, and aspirations. This is an excellent opportunity to think about how to implement strategies that will help us achieve our goals (even subtle changes can have lasting effects). We emerge from this time feeling stronger and more optimistic about the coming year ahead.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It’s a meaningful time for you, Aries. At a deep level changes are taking root and altering the way you see this world. You’re eager to reshape your path in subtle ways and you’re more in touch with your long-term goals now. Relationships with others can offer you an incredible vehicle to learn more about yourself and what you want out of life. Give some thought to your value systems and those of others (it’s ok to be different). Don’t twist yourself into a pretzel to meet the needs of others if it isn’t working for you. What are the connections and relationships you want to invest in?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might have to go more than half way when dealing with others this time, Taurus. If you feel low-energy, gear-down a bit and play it close to home. Repairs, redecorating projects, as well as crafts and hobbies around the house are comforting and rewarding now. Intimate gatherings with loved ones and close friends are nourishing for you. Joint financial decisions or areas where your responsibilities are intertwined with others are likely to arise. You’re in a good place to be diplomatic and consider everyone’s point of view. Trust your instinct now!Lucky days:

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re eager to get busy and hone your craft now, Gemini. It’s not so much a time of wild ideas as it is a time of being practical and seeing how things can play out in real time. You’re ready to examine and refine all your techniques and procedures. (Your inner perfectionist is coming out!) It’s likely that your work environment or the day-to-day activities on the job front improve somehow. This is a good time to throw your hat in the ring for a job or position that you’ve been eyeing. Dinners out, social engagements, and industry parties are calling your name.Lucky days:

Any type of amusement or recreation, travel, or festivities would be great for you. (An early winter vacation anyone?) If you can’t get outta Dodge, then get crafty in your own backyard. Art projects and hobbies will relax you, and you’re likely to produce a lot now as well. Romance and love affairs can be fun and exhilarating! This is also a good time to take the initiative and push an intimate relationship to the next level!Lucky days:

Embarking on an exercise program is easier to do now. You’re getting more in touch with yourself and that also means your body. Home repairs, craft projects, or family game nights get you into your groove. Call up your friends and have them over!Lucky days:

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re feeling more courageous now, Virgo! I’m sure you’ve thought things through, but before you jump out and stake your claim, be sure to reinforce your key relationships. Bounce your ideas off friends and family, as well as community members, coworkers, and peer groups. You will learn a lot and thus be better prepared. (You like to be prepared don’t you?) Romantic relationships can be intense and powerful. You’re eager to understand your partner better, especially through lovemaking. You’re more likely to be the hunter or huntress now, than to sit idly waiting for someone to find you.Lucky days:

You’re shrewder now about how you spend your precious time and energy, and how you invest yourself emotionally. Relationships, friendships, and new acquaintances can grow and blossom now. You’re willing to put the right energy into the right connections!Lucky days:
