Sagittarius

This is your month to shine! The sun in your sign trines Uranus on the 1st, and you may hear delightfully unexpected news about a child or creative project. If you’re not looking to have a kid right now, watch this date and take the necessary precautions! Alternatively, you might meet a new love interest out of the blue! Get out and circulate during the first half of December, and you may find just what you’re looking for. On the 3rd, any Sag’s who work in creative or medical fields may hear good career news. Friday the 13th will be just divine- Jupiter (your ruler!) in your money house will connect with Saturn and they just might bring rewards from whatever it is you’re working on. Alternatively, you may get funds from a source you never expected- an inheritance or bonus of some kind. The full moon on the 17th occurs in your house of partnerships, and you may solidify or break off a commitment at this time. On the 22nd, Venus goes retrograde in your house of income, and over the next few months you may review your work situation to see if there’s a way you can bring in more moolah. You may begin to look for a new job or perhaps review your business practices to see how you can optimize profits. On Christmas Eve, the sun in  this same income sector will sextile Neptune in your house of home. You may get a large sum for a home you’re selling, or perhaps you’ll buy a home and add to your net (and self!) worth. Alternatively, you may get income from work performed on or from the home. On Christmas Day, you may feel a bit torn- perhaps you feel like celebrating with your love or family this year but feel obligated to spend time with friends or a larger group due to Mars opposition of Uranus. Mars will remain in your friendship sector for 8 months, so get used it! The end of the month is feisty- the Sun, Mercury, and Pluto will all meet in your income house and square Uranus in your fifth house AND Mars in your 11th. You may find that a child or creative hobby is taking you away from your work or perhaps eating into funds. Why not lay low this New Years? You’ll have plenty of time in 2014 to branch out.

Scorpio

You’ve been working hard, but where’s the money been at? If you’ve been waiting for funds to roll in, this just might be the month. On the 1st of the month, the Sun in your income sector will trine Uranus in your work house, and you may get an expected raise or a bonus from a work project. The trend continues, with the new moon in this same sector on the 3rd. Friday the 13th is beautiful, with Jupiter in your 9th house of travel and broad horizons trining Saturn in your own sign. You may hear good news about a publishing project or travel opportunity, or if you’re applying to University you may get accepted on this day. The full moon on the 17th occurs in Gemini and your house of other people’s money. Money news may culminate on this day, or you may hear news about a partner’s income. Later in the month, the Sun moves into your 3rd house of communication and short trips. On Christmas Eve, it will sextile Neptune in fellow water sign Pisces and your 5th house of true love. You may get engaged on this day, take a romantic trip with your love, or perhaps enter into an agreement for a creative project. Alternatively, a sibling may announce a pregnancy! This month, Mars moves into your 12th house of endings where it will stay for 8 whole months, an unusually long time. You may have to deal with some personal demons (addiction, toxic friends/relationships) during this time. Alternatively, you may be putting in a lot of hours doing behind the scenes work for a project. On Christmas, Mars will oppose Uranus in your 6th house of work. You may hear unexpected (and unwelcome!) news about a job or work project. Additionally, on the 30th, the Sun will conjunct Mercury and Pluto in your communication/contract house and all will square Uranus in your work and health house, AND Mars in your 12th house. Be careful when you’re driving, especially since this all occurs around New Years Eve, when revelers will be out in full force! You may encounter problems on a work project, so brace yourself! This would not be a great time to enter into a new contract or work commitment. This trend will continue into January, so enjoy the first half of December! To read your 2014 horoscope, go here

Libra

After dealing with money all last month, you’ll be pleased to know this month sees you more focused on writing, communication projects, and travel. Early in the month, the Sun in your 3rd house will trine Uranus in your partnership house in compatible signs Sagittarius and Aries, and you may go on a short trip with your partner. You have great aspects, so if you haven’t planned it yet, please do! Alternatively, you may sign a contract with a new business partner or even pick up a marriage license!  Friday the 13th is a really lovely day, as Jupiter in your house of career will trine Saturn in your income house. You may receive a payout or bonus from a work project, or even get a new job with a great income! Sweet! The 17th sees you focused on travel or foreign partners, with the full moon in Gemini. You may finish a writing or publishing project, or perhaps learn of your acceptance (or denial) into university. This full moon is neutral, so it’s hard to tell whether the news will be good or bad. This month also sees Mars move out of your 12th house and into your 1st- GREAT news for starting new projects or initiatives. On the 22nd, your ruler Venus goes retrograde in your 4th house of home, so you may have to go back and fine tune housing or family issues for a few months. It’s ok- Mars will be in your sign for 8 whole months- much longer than usual! You’re in a good spot to achieve a lot if you put your mind to it. I’m not gonna lie- the end of the month is tough. The Sun will conjunct Mercury and Pluto in your home sector, and they will all square Mars in your sign and Uranus in your partnership sign. This aspect will continue into January, so keep up your antenna. To read your 2014 horoscope, go here

Virgo

This month sees you focused on your home and career. Early in the month, you may set the wheels in motion to change up your living situation. You may get a sudden offer on your current home, or you may come into funds to buy your dream house. Alternatively, you may hear news about a parent or childhood home. On the 3rd, your ruler Mercury in your contract house will sextile Mars in your own sign, and you may sign a contract. The 13th is also a great day, as Jupiter in your house of hopes and dreams will trine Saturn in your contract house. The 17th changes your focus, as there’s a full moon in your career house. You may get a promotion or new position, or even just some press for your work. This moon is neutral, so there’s no indication that you will lose a job, but that could always happen too. This month sees Mars move into your income house for 8 whole months. You may be spending a LOT of money in the next few months so you might want to freeze those credit cards now! On Christmas Eve, the Sun in your 5th house of true love and children will sextile Neptune in your 7th house of partnerships. You may get engaged on this date, or perhaps even discuss having a child with your partner! Singles should be sure to get out and circulate, you never know who you might meet- even on Christmas Eve! Christmas might bring to light financial issues, as Mars will oppose Uranus in your two money houses. Be sure you and a loved one are on the same page about money. The end of the month is tough for all signs. The Sun will conjunct Mercury (your ruler) and Pluto in your love and children house, and those planets will all square Uranus in your 8th house of shared resources and Mars in your income house. Love and money issues may really come to a head around this time- and this is an influence that will continue into January. To read your 2014 horoscope, go here

Leo

December is always a grand time for a Leo, as the Sun dances through your 5th house of fun and love- the house your sign rules! This month is no different, and early this month, you may hear (great!) unexpected news about a creative project, loved one, or child. It may involve travel, writing, or publishing so keep your ears open! On the third, you may hear news about a family member’s income, or perhaps you’ll get some money from work performed on or from the home. Adding to the home luck, the 13th is a gorgeous day, when Jupiter in your 12th house of closure will trine Saturn in your 4th house. The full moon on the 17th occurs in your house of hopes and dreams. Something important to you will culminate, or perhaps you’ll hear news about a friend. The big news this month is that Mars will move out of your income house and into your 3rd house of communication. Thank god, right? Mars has been making you spend money left and right! Mars in the 3rd will see you being a busy little bee. Emails, correspondence, local trips, errands…these will all be amplified for the next 8 months. You may have car issues so keep an eye out- make sure your oil is changed, tires are full, etc. Alternatively, a sibling might have a lot going on, or you will be in contact with them a lot. Christmas Eve will be a lovely time, when your ruler, the Sun, in your 6th house of work and health will trine Neptune in your 8th house of shared resources. You may get a bonus or raise at work, or even a new job with a better salary. Merry Christmas to you! Watch out for any travel on Christmas Day- Mars and Uranus will oppose each other on this day, causing problems getting from A to B. This will only be amplified by the end of the month. The Sun will conjunct Pluto and Mercury in your work and health house on the 31st, and all will square Uranus and Mars in your travel and communication houses. Be careful on the road (watch out for drunk drivers on NYE!) and watch your tongue with co-workers. Writing and communications projects may hit a snag. This trend will continue into January, unfortunately. To read your 2014 horoscope, go here

Cancer

After a month focused on love, play, and romance, the universe is now turning your attention to your work situation. Early in December, the Sun in your work and health sector will trine Uranus in your career house, and you may get an unexpected promotion or job offer. Nice! The new moon that occurs just after this is telling me the exact same thing. You may start a new job or a new project that will bring you press or prestige. Alternatively, you could hire a new assistant, move offices to a fabulous new space, or see a new co-worker you like come to work for your company. On the third, Mercury in your 5th sextiles Mars in your 3rd, and you may sign a contract for a new creative project, or perhaps even pick up a marriage license or adoption papers. Friday the 13th is lovely, as Jupiter in your sign (yay!) will trine Saturn in fellow water sign Scorpio and your 5th house of true love. If you’ve been hoping for a baby or engagement, these are amazing aspects. If you’re single, go out this night! You just may meet the love of your life (or at least the love of your week). The full moon on the 17th occurs in your 12th house of endings. A chapter of your life seems to be coming to a close. Whether it’s in love, business, or friendship, don’t fret- Jupiter in your sign will protect you. Venus goes retrograde in your house of partnerships on the 22nd for a few months. If you’re in a relationship, you may still have some communication issues to work out. If you’re single or dating, that all may change over the next few months. On Christmas Eve, the Sun in your house of partnerships will sextile Neptune in fellow water sign, Pisces, and your house of travel. You may go on a trip with your love or perhaps do work with a foreign company. If you’re a writer or work in publishing, you may enter into a partnership at this time. Also this month, Mars moves into your house of home, where it will stay for 8 long months! You may decide to move or revamp your current space, or perhaps you’ll be seeing a lot of your parents for a while. On Christmas Day, Mars will oppose Uranus in your career house, and you may feel that all this focus on family is pulling you away from your career goals. Or perhaps it’s the other way around- your career goals might be pulling you away from the home. Things may come to a head at the end of the month, when the Sun will conjunct Mercury and Pluto in your partnership sector, and square the planets in your home and career houses. You may fight with a partner about your home or career, or perhaps you two are on opposite sides of the whole “marriage” thing. This trend will continue into 2014, unfortunately, so try to work things out civilly! To read your 2014 horoscope, go here

Gemini

What a lovely month to be a Gemini! This month is all about love and partnerships for you! Early in the month, the Sun in your house of partners will trine Uranus in your house of hopes and dreams. The new moon that occurs shortly afterward will connect these sectors as well! Both are in fire signs, which blend perfectly with your air sign! You may hear news about a partner or start a new chapter of your relationship (this goes for business partners as well!). Work matters go well too, as Mercury (your ruler!) in your work house will sextile Mars in your home house. You may get a gig working from home, or perhaps a job will need you to relocate temporarily. Gemini loves to be on the move! Even better news- on the 13th, Jupiter in your income sector will trine Saturn in your work sector. You may get a huge raise or bonus just in time for the holidays. The full moon this month on the 17th occurs in your own sign. Something close to your heart appears to be culminating. This is especially true if you are a Gemini between 20 and 30 degrees rising, or born between June 12th and June 22nd (or on the Gemini/Cancer cusp). On the 22nd, Venus will go retrograde in your house of other people’s money, and you may have to go back and review the details of a financial agreements or perhaps make some payments on the ol’ credit card. Alternatively, you may review your shared finances with a partner. On Christmas Eve, the Sun in this sector will sextile Neptune in your career house, and you may get a Christmas bonus from your company. Score! Alternatively, if you’re married or getting married, your spouse may have good financial news. This month, Mars moves out of your house of home and into your 5th house of true love where it will spend 8 whole months. This is a loooong time to be in one house, and luckily, it’s in your house of fun, love, and play. If you have kids, there will be a lot going on with them during this time. Alternatively, if you get engaged on Christmas eve (a possibility), you would spend this time planning the details of your wedding, as the 5th house rules love. If none of these apply to you, you might spend a lot of time on a creative project or hobby, or perhaps a lot of time dating around (I hear Tinder is big these days).  Watch out for Christmas day- Mars in your love house will oppose Uranus in your friendship house, and something may come up that affects your relationship or child. The end of the month is sticky too, as the Sun will conjunct Mercury and Pluto in your house of other people’s money, and all will square Mars and Uranus in your love and dreams houses. You may argue with your love about money, or perhaps the money for a creative endeavor will hit a snag. This trend will continue into January, so you may want to lay low this NYE.

Taurus

This month sees you focused on money, bull, and you seem to be in luck. Early in the month, the Sun in your house of other people’s money trines Uranus in your house of endings. You may get a bonus from a creative project (or if you work in the medical field), or perhaps a project coming to an end will net you a payout. The new moon shortly after this indicates a new source of income will arrive, perhaps out of the blue. On the 3rd, Mercury in your partnership house will sextile Mars in your creative house, and you may sign a contract to continue or begin a creative partnership. Alternatively, if you’re engaged, this may be the day you pick up your marriage license. Your luck in this arena continues, as Jupiter in your contract house trines Saturn in your partnership house on the 13th. The full moon on the 17 occurs in your house of income, and this may be the day a lump sum comes in for previous work, or perhaps you get a raise. Your ruler, Venus, continues to glide through your house of travel and publishing, but will go retrograde on the 22nd. You may have to go back and review travel plans or writing projects, or even religious or spiritual philosophies you might have. On Christmas Eve, the Sun in this sector will sextile Neptune in your house of hopes and dreams, and you may go on the trip of a lifetime. Alternatively, your screenplay or novel may get picked up! Also in December, Mars departs your love and play house for your work house for the next 8 months. You may see assignments and projects coming in like crazy- so much so that you can hardly catch your breath! Watch your health as well- Mars here can cause an uptick in sickness or doctor’s visits- probably because you’re working so much! Alternatively, you may begin a diet or fitness routine that sees you pumping iron daily in the gym. Good for you! Seems like a great way to start 2014. Christmas may bring up a work or health issue, as Mars in your 6th will oppose Uranus in your 12th. A work project may hit a snag, or you may have it out with a co-worker. Perhaps someone at your company is trying to undermine you. Alternatively, you may feel ill or a chronic health issue may come to light. The end of the year is tough for all signs. The Sun will conjunct Mercury and Pluto in your house of travel, and all will square Mars in your 6th house and Uranus in your 12th. Writing and publishing projects will not go well, nor will any travel plans. I strongly advise you stay local for NYE this year. This trend will continue into January, so hold onto your hat!

Aries

You’ve been through the ringer lately, Aries, and 2014 will bring more of the same. Luckily, MOST of December is looking divine. You may hear unexpected news early in the month, when the Sun in your house of travel trines Uranus in your own sign. You may go on a fun trip, or plan one! Any travel plans begun after the new moon in this sector on the 3rd will be steeped in good fortune. Alternatively, if you’re writing a screenplay or novel, you may hear good news about it now. Also on the 3rd, Mercury in your house of shared money will trine Mars in your work house, and you may see a Christmas bonus come in. Yay! The good news continues on Friday the 13th, when Jupiter in your house of home will trine Scorpio in your money house. You may get the funds to buy a new house, or perhaps work performed from or on the home will net you a profit. The full moon occurs on the 17th in Gemini and your house of contracts, and luckily Gemini is an air sign which blends nicely with your fire sign. You may hear news from a sibling, or sign an important contract. Alternatively, you may purchase a car, or your current vehicle could finally call it quits on you! Venus in your career house goes retrograde on the 22nd, and you may have to review your job or career aspirations over the next few months. On Christmas Eve, the Sun in this sector will sextile Neptune in your house of endings, and you may end a job or project you’ve been working on. Alternatively, you may get some press for a creative project or medical discovery you made. The big news this month is that your ruler, Mars, will move from your work house into your 7th house of partnerships for 8 whole months. You may find that most of 2014 revolves around your significant other (or a business partner)! Watch your tongue on Christmas, as Mars will oppose Uranus and you may have a fight with your boo. The end of the month is tough, and (as usual) your cardinal sign of Aries is right in the thick of it. The Sun will conjunct Mercury and Pluto in your house of career, and both will square Mars in your partnership house and Uranus in  your own sign. You may hear jarring career news, or perhaps start a new job that wasn’t what you thought it was. Alternatively, your marriage may hit a snag or you fight with a partner over wedding plans. This trend will continue in January, unfortunately, but should pass by February! To read your full 2014 horoscope, go here

Pisces

Are you looking to make the big leagues? This month brings big career news for you, fish. Early in the month, the Sun in your career house will trine Uranus in your income house, and you may get a new job with a big salary to match! The new moon shortly afterward continues this trend, and you may start a prestigious new job that brings you moolah in the year to come. On the 3rd, Mercury in fellow water sign Scorpio and your 9th house of travel will sextile Mars in your partnership house, and you may sign an agreement or contract for a novel or other writing project- perhaps picking up an agent or publisher. Alternatively, you could go on a fun trip with your boo! The luck continues on Friday the 13th, when Jupiter in your house of fame, love, and creativity trines Saturn in your house of travel and writing. This would be a fine time to go out of town or get some publicity for a creative project. The full moon on the 17th occurs in your house of home, and you may sign a new lease or hear news about a family member. Venus goes retrograde in your house of friendship and hopes and dreams on the 22nd. You may review love matters to make sure you’re following your true path, or a relationship with a friend may go through changes. On Christmas Eve, the Sun in this sector will trine your ruler Neptune in your own sign. A wish close to your heart may come true on this day. The big news this month is that Mars leaves your partnership house and moves onto your money house. Oy. Mars in your shared resources house indicates that expenses may go up. Watch that credit card! Mars will spend 8 months here, so get ready! On Christmas Day, Mars will oppose Uranus, and you may feel fuzzy on financial matters. It’s time to get real about your finances, fishy- I know you don’t care about money, but we all need to get our affairs in order. The end of the month is tough, as the Sun will conjunct Mercury and Pluto in your house of hopes and dreams, and all will square Mars and Uranus in your money houses. Longterm projects may hit a snag. January brings more of the same, so get ready to deal with this influence into 2014! To read your 2014 horoscope, go here

Aquarius

What a fun month to be you- this month is all about fun and wishes coming true! Early in the month, the Sun in your house of hopes and dreams will trine Uranus in your house of contracts and communication. You may sign on the dotted line, or hear great news from a sibling. Or, you could just go on a fun local trip or get an email or letter that excites you. On the 3rd, Mercury in your career house will sextile Mars in your money house, and you may see a bonus come in from your job. Nice! The luck continues on Friday the 13th, as Jupiter in your work house trines Saturn in your career house. You may get a promotion or new title, or just a healthy pat on the back from VIPs. The 17th sees a full moon in Gemini and your 5th house of true love. Wow! Gemini is a fellow air sign so you should love whatever comes up! You may meet a new love interest or make it official with a current beau. Maybe you discover that you or your partner is pregnant! There’s always a chance that you break up with your boo, but if you do, know that it’s all for the best. On the 22nd, Venus goes retrograde in your 12th house of endings. You may review a love relationship to make sure it’s what you want out of life. On Christmas Eve, the Sun in this same sector of endings will sextile Neptune in your income house. You may finish a project that nets you some funds, or perhaps start a new creative or medical position that increases your net worth. The 12th and 2nd houses are often highlighted with an engagement or marriage, so this is a possibility as well. This month, Mars moves out of your credit card house and into your travel house. This influence will last for 8 whole months! You may do a lot of traveling in the next 8 months, or perhaps work with foreign clients or on a writing or publishing project. On Christmas, Mars will oppose your ruler Uranus in your 3rd house of transportation and communication. Any travel this day might encounter difficulties- so prepare for plan B! The end of the month is tough for all signs. The Sun will conjunct Pluto and Mercury in your house of endings, and both will square Mars and Uranus in your travel and communication houses. You may be dealing with personal demons, or perhaps learn of a secret plot against you! Any contracts you’ve signed may cause issues for you. Alternatively, a health issue may come up that you have to deal with. I strongly advise you to lay low over NYE! This trend will continue into January, but don’t worry- there’s lots of good stuff to look forward to next year. Take a look at your 2014 horoscope here

Capricorn

Capricorns are lucky in that the end of the calendar year corresponds to the end of your personal year. Indeed, it seems that something will be coming to an end this month. Early in December, the Sun in your house of endings will friend Uranus in your house of home. You may decide to move, or hear unexpected information about a family member. On the 3rd, Mercury in your house of hopes and dreams will sextile Mars in your travel house, and you may go on the trip of a lifetime, or perhaps hear good news that involves foreign clients or writing projects. Friday the 13th is a beauty as well, as on this day Jupiter in your partnership house will trine your ruler, Saturn, in your house of hopes and dreams. You may get engaged or get a new business partner on this day. The full moon on the 17th occurs in your house of work and health, and a job may come to an end. Watch your health, as you may feel sick around this time. Venus is currently in your sign, and it goes retrograde on the 22nd. Love relationships may transform over the next few months. Venus also rules your career house, so you may go back and review matters of these nature as well. The big news this month is the movement of the Sun into your sign a few days before Christmas! Now and in to January, you appear to be launching new initiatives. On Christmas Eve, the Sun in your sign will sextile Neptune in your house of contracts, and you may sign on the dotted line. Alternatively, you may hear big news from a sibling, or perhaps treat yourself to a new car for the holiday! This month also sees Mars move out of your travel house and into your career house. For the next 8 months (yes 8 whole months!) your career will be on fire! Christmas might be touchy, as Mars will oppose Uranus in your house of home, and your home and career needs may be at odds. The 10th house also rules marriage, so you may have a wedding to plan or a lot going on with your spouse! The end of the month is chaotic, and your sign is smack in the middle of it. The Sun will conjunct Mercury and Pluto in your sign, and all will oppose Uranus and Mars in your home and career houses. You seem to be going through a profound career transformation, especially if you were born between December 30th and January 8th, or have Capricorn rising at 11 degrees. This trend will continue into January. Read your 2014 horoscope here.

November 2013 Monthly Horoscopes- Leo, Virgo, Libra

Leo

The Sun joins Mercury and Saturn in your house of family and home this month, and seeing as it’s the start of the holiday season, the timing couldn’t be better! The big news this month is the solar eclipse in this same sector on the 3rd. Unlike last month’s crappy new moon, this eclipse is nicely angled to other planets. Mars is sextiling from your 2nd house of income, and Pluto is sextiling from your 6th house of work assignments. If you are planning to buy or sell a house, or if you work in real estate, these are really excellent aspects. Additionally, any work performed from or on the home gets a positive boost. Saturn will be conjunct the eclipse, giving stability to whatever venture you begin. It’s not ideal that the eclipse happens during Mercury retrograde, but luckily Mercury goes direct on the 11th- welcome news for any Lions experiencing delays on the home front. On the 12th, Mercury will trine Neptune in your house of other people’s money, and funds might come in the shape of an inheritance or home loan. Even better, the following day, November 13th, the Sun in the 4th will trine Jupiter in your 12th house of closure- an excellent aspect for closing a deal on a new housing situation. I’d save any key initiatives for this day. One thing you’ll have to contend with is Jupiter’s retrograde on the 7th. Over the next few months, you may have to re-do any creative or health work you’ve been tending to, just to make sure you’re getting it all right. Also, watch out for the 6th when your ruler, the Sun, will conjunct Saturn. This could be a somber time for some Lions, especially those whose birthdays fall around Aug 6. Venus spends the month in your 6th house of work and health and trines Neptune on the 8th. Funding for a work assignment may come through or perhaps you’ll find a lower rate on your health insurance through the new health exchanges. Watch out for the 15th, when Venus will conjunct Pluto in your work house- this could be a healing influence, but Uranus in Aries will be squaring both planets so make sure you keep your eyes open in regards to any travel that comes up. There’s a full moon in your 10th house of career on the 17th. Think back to any discussions set in motion by the solar eclipse in this sector back in May- developments may culminate now.  Jupiter is nicely angled to the full moon, so you should like what you hear. Perhaps a promotion is in order? A few days later, on the 19th, Mars in your income house will also sextile Jupiter, so your salary may get a bump along with your title. Why don’t you use your new funds to buy the family turkey this year? Bet your mom would appreciate it!

Virgo

This month sees you scurrying around like a busy little bee, as the Sun joins your ruler, Mercury, and Saturn in your 3rd house of communication. Emails, correspondence, and errands seem to pop up like crazy- and here you were thinking Thanksgiving would be a vacation! The eclipse in Scorpio on the 3rd takes place in this same sector, and is nicely angled to Mars in your sign, and Pluto in your 5th house of true love and creativity. This is a great time to sign a contract, and anything you hear about a sibling should be blessed with good fortune. The eclipse will be conjunct Saturn, which is known to be a planet of limitations, however in this instance, I think Saturn will be like a strong set of muscles helping you implement whatever action you wish to take. However, I would wait until November 12th to initiate anything. On this day, the Sun in the 3rd will trine Jupiter in your 11th house of hopes and dreams, giving you the best luck of the month. Additionally, your ruler, Mercury, will have gone direct again by this time. Welcome news for many virgins who may have felt a little topsy-turvy over the last few weeks. In other news, Venus spends the month in  your 5th house of true love, adding a little oomph to your love life. Mars is still in your first house, giving you drive and energy in spades! Sounds like a pretty sexy month to me! When Venus sextiles Neptune in your partnership house on the 8th, you may even feel like a school kid in love again. Just watch out for the 6th, when the Sun will conjunct Saturn and you may find yourself with your foot in your mouth (again). Also, Jupiter goes retrograde on the 7th for a few months, forcing you to review any longterm goals and make needed changes. On the 15th, Venus will conjunct Pluto in your partnership sector. You may reach a turning point in a relationship. It should turn out alright, but with Uranus in Aries squaring the pair, it’s likely that money will part of the conversation. The full moon in fellow earth sign Taurus on the 17th falls in your house of travel and broad thinking. If you applied early to college or university, you may hear back on this day, or perhaps a publishing or writing project will come to an end. Jupiter in your house of dreams and longterm plans is nicely angled, so you should hear good news. A few days later, Mars in your sign will signal Jupiter in the 11th, giving another punch of luck to the situation. Hopefully you will have exciting news to share with your family by the time Thanksgiving rolls around. One day to watch out for is the 25th, when the Sun moves into your 4th house of home and squares Neptune in your 7th house of partnerships. You may squabble with your partner over a home or family issue, or you may squabble with a family member over your partner! Because the Sun and Neptune are both in mutable signs, and because you’re also a mutable sign, you’re likely to feel this influence most (along with Pisces, Sagittarius, and Gemini). Oh Virgo- how do you always find yourself in the middle playing mediator? Make a bargain with your partner- Thanksgiving with your family this year, and with theirs next year. Better yet, why not gather both families together and make a new tradition in a new location? Mexico perhaps? Sounds like a good solution to me!

Libra

You’ve been extra focused on money for the past year, Libra, and this is because of Saturn’s entry into your income house last October. Things may have felt tight, and unfortunately, Saturn is here to stay for about another year and a half. The good news is that there’s an eclipse in this sector on the 3rd, and it’s beautifully angled to Mars in your 12th house and Pluto in your house of home. Perhaps you’re looking to sell your house for a profit, or begin a job as a real estate agent. Your prospects are looking great for both of things things. Alternatively, any work you do from home should bring in extra funds this month. You may not feel the full effects until next May, when there’s a full moon in this same sector. A great day to initiate any money making schemes is the 12th, when the Sun in the 2nd will trine Jupiter in your house of career. You may get a bonus or raise, or even a new job with a new title! Mercury will have gone direct by then (on the 11th) so you’ll be in the clear to start any major initiatives. Venus, your ruler, spends the month in your 4th house of home. Any hardships you’ve been experiencing on this front should be smoothed over. One day to keep an eye on is the 15th, when Venus will conjunct Pluto in the home. Generally, Venus is a healing planet, but sometimes a conjunction can end up having harsh effects. Additionally, Uranus in your house of partnerships will be squaring the pair, so you may have some trouble on the home front or with a spouse. The full moon on the 17th falls in your house of other people’s money. There may be a chunk of money going in or out, but because Jupiter in your career house is nicely angled, I think this will end up in your favor. Two days later, Mars in your 12th house  will gently ping Jupiter in your 10th, and you may hear more good news about your career. This is especially true for anyone in a medical or creative field.  On the 23rd, your ruler Venus will sextile Saturn, and your home and income houses will see a boost. Sounds like the perfect time to host Thanksgiving at your place!

Scorpio

This is your month to shine dear scorpion, as a host of planets glide through your sign. The Sun joins Mercury and Saturn, and there’s a solar eclipse on the 3rd at 11 degrees Scorpio. If you were born around November 3, this will affect you most, although all scorpions will feel some effects. Note that eclipses can take up to 6 months to take effect. The eclipse is sextiling Mars in your 11th house of hopes and dreams, and your ruler, Pluto, in in your 3rd house of communication and contracts. It looks like you’ll be initiating a new venture that is very important to your identity, possibly a work project of sorts, and you may be signing a contract. Saturn in your sign will be conjunct this eclipse, bringing stability to whatever you begin, although it likely won’t be easy. Be careful not to initiate any ventures early in the month while Mercury is still retrograde. If you are signing a contract, wait until November 12th, a lucky day when the Sun in your sign will signal Jupiter in your 9th house of travel and publishing. Watch out for the 6th, when the Sun will conjunct Saturn in your sign and you may hear some jarring news. Additionally, Jupiter turns retrograde on the 7th. You may have to go over any publishing, writing, or broadcasting projects for revisions over the next few months. Venus spends the month in your house of communication and contracts, and you may find you suddenly have the gift of gab. Just watch out for the 15th, when Venus will conjunct your ruler, Pluto. This could be a great influence- Venus is a lucky, healing planet- but conjunctions can bring surprises, and this one is squaring Uranus in your 6th house of work. A full moon falls on the 17th in your partnership sign of Taurus. Jupiter in your 9th house of travel is nicely angled, so you should hear good news around this time. You might get engaged (on a trip perhaps?), or call things off, but trust that all will be for the best. 2 days later, Mars in your 11th house of friendships will sextile Jupiter in your 9th, and you may end up traveling with friends. Why not head to Vegas for a little pre-Thanksgiving jaunt? Next month will see you focusing on work and money, so go get your kicks in now!

Sagittarius

After a turbulent month that saw you focused on socializing and friendships, this month has you resting and recuperating. Hopefully you have a few days off over Thanksgiving to be low key and take some time for yourself. The Sun joins Mercury and Saturn in your 12th house of recuperation and closure. There’s a solar eclipse on the 3rd in this same sector, and it’s nicely angled to Mars in your house of career and Pluto in your house of income. Any Archers in a creative profession, or a medical or institutional field, should see profits coming in from any new venture. In general, ventures now will be behind closed doors. Don’t worry- your time to shine will come. Save any initiatives until after Mercury goes direct on the 11th. The 12th would be best, as the Sun on this day will trine Jupiter in your 8th house of other people’s money and you could come into some unexpected funds. Venus spends the month in your second house of income, which is even better news for you wallet! Watch out for news on the 15th, when Venus will conjunct Pluto in this sector. You could hear good news, but with Uranus squaring both planets, you might have a large expense related to a child or creative project.  The full moon on the 17th falls in Taurus and your 6th house of work and health. Take your vitamins and eat your vegetables- this is the prime time of year to get sick, and we don’t want that! Jupiter will be nicely angled from your 8th house, so I suspect you will hear good news- perhaps a commission from a client will come in, or you’ll land a new job with a stellar bonus structure. Two days later, Mars- which has been revving up your career sector all month- will sextile Jupiter in your 8th- even better news for money and career! Alternatively, you might have a deep conversation with your spouse (if married) and be thankful that you’re closer than ever. What a great way to spend the holiday! Just watch out for the 25th, when the Sun- which will have moved into your sign- squares Neptune in your 4th house of home and you may have an argument with a family member. Silly Sagittarius- always remember, wine + politics + family members don’t mix! We all know you have big opinions, so maybe just pour yourself another glass and let the other person win this battle.

Capricorn

A lot of people tend to spend Thanksgiving with their families, but not all of us are lucky enough to have family nearby. What better alternative that to gather a bunch of friends together and hold a Friendsgiving? This month you’re in the perfect position for just that, as a host of planets, as well as a solar eclipse, are in your friendship sector. The eclipse takes place on the 3rd, and it’s nicely angled to Mars in your 9th house of travel and Pluto in your own sign. You might go on a trip with friends, launch a publishing or broadcasting project, decide to move abroad, or even begin your dream business. Because this eclipse is conjunct to Saturn, your ruler, whatever you launch should be blessed in legitimacy. What great news! If you do initiate something, wait until the 12th. Mercury will have gone direct the day before, and on this day the Sun will trine Jupiter in your 7th house of partnerships, suggesting that perhaps your love with join you on whatever adventure you begin! Venus spends the month in your sign, giving you charm in spades. Been thinking about chopping off your hair or updating your wardrobe? DO IT  (just don’t forget to wait until after November 11th!). Keep your eyes open on the 15th, when Venus will conjunct Pluto in your sign. I think you will hear good news this day- possibly regarding a love interest or career opportunity- but Uranus in your 4th house of home will be squaring both planets, so you may have a few kinks to iron out. There’s a chance some bad news will come up, but I have faith that Venus will protect you. The full moon on the 17th falls in fellow earth sign Taurus and your 5th house of true love. You might just get married or engaged, or perhaps you find out you have a little one on the way! Jupiter in your 7th house of partnerships will be looking on lovingly, so it wouldn’t surprise me one bit. There’s always a chance you’ll break up, and if so, trust that it’s only because there’s someone out there who is better for you! This full moon is too beautifully angled for this not to be the case. On the 19th, Mars- which has been revving up your travel sector all month- sextiles Jupiter in your partnership house. If you do get engaged, I suspect it might happen on a trip- perhaps a Thanksgiving trip? With that eclipse earlier in the month lighting up your house of hopes and dreams, this is a definite possibility. House of hopes and dreams indeed!

Grammia virgo

Money can’t buy you love. So say The Beatles anyway. I advise you keep that in mind this month, as your financial situation might get a little wonky. Luckily, the month starts out on a nice note- your ruler, Mercury, is in your 3rd house of communication (the house mercury rules!), and on Oct 3rd, it will trine Neptune in your 7th house of partnerships. Communication with your sweetie will be divine on this day. Alternatively, any contract you sign to form a new business partnership will be swimming in good luck. Unfortunately, the good vibrations come to a halt on the 5th, with a new moon in your income house. This new moon will be opposing Uranus in your house of other people’s money, and squaring Pluto in your house of true love. Perhaps you and your love aren’t on the same page regarding a financial situation, or your child has a large expense. Alternatively, funding for a creative project may suddenly go awry. This isn’t such a new influence- Uranus has been sending you surprises in your money sector for 2 1/2 years, and Pluto has been drudging up issues regarding love, children, and creativity since 2008. The two planets have been squaring each other since June 2012, forcing you to confront any issues you have with love and money. They will continue to do so until 2015, so you may as well start listening. They know what they’re talking about. Coming back to this month, on the 13th, the Sun in your financial sector will square Jupiter in your 11th house of hopes and wishes, and the funding for a long-term goal could hit a snag. As if that weren’t enough, your ruler Mercury will conjunct hard-knocks planet Saturn twice this month in your communication house- once on the 8th and once on the 30th (and again next month- argh!). If you didn’t sign a contract on the 3rd, for the love of all that is good and holy please don’t do it now. If a contract isn’t on the table, you might instead have issues with a car or sibling. There’s always the chance that instead of bringing bad vibes, Saturn could bring stability to a contract, so if you have to sign something on the 8th you might be able to get away with it. However, because Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st,  you definitely want to avoid the 30th. Since Mercury is your ruler, its retrograde is extra frustrating for you. You may find a project close to your heart needs to be re-configured, career matters seem sticky, or perhaps your car suddenly has a host of problems. You don’t need me to tell you that you shouldn’t even think of buying a new car or taking a new job until Mercury turns direct. Next month, on November 13th, Mercury will resume forward motion at the same time the Sun in the 3rd house will trine Jupiter. Give your final word then. You might be wondering if this month brings ANY good news. Well- it does! On the 10th, Venus in your 4th house of home will trine Uranus in your 8th house of other people’s money. A home loan may come through, or you may be the recipient of an inheritance. Perhaps your home  life will go through an epic transformation that you didn’t anticipate. The lunar eclipse in this same financial sector on the 20th makes an influx of cash a real possibility.  Just make sure you avoid moving or signing contracts when Mercury turns retrograde on the 21st! Mars enters your sign on the 8th giving you tons of energy and drive. This is a fortunate aspect that only comes along every 2 years. Unfortunately, you may find yourself beating your head against the wall once Mercury goes retrograde. The energy of Mars + the delays of retrograde = frustration. Sweat it out at the gym, Virgo, and breathe. It will pass. Specifically, it will pass after November 12th, when Mercury will go direct and you’ll still have Mars in your sign. On the 20th, Mars will oppose Neptune in your 7th house of partnerships. Neptune has been transiting this house for a while, casting a fog over your partnerships. This dreamy planet doesn’t play very well with aggressive Mars in your sign, and you may find yourself in a confrontation with your significant other on this day. Luckily, on the 26th, the Sun in your 3rd house will trine Pisces in your partnership house, bringing communication back to a manageable level. Even better, on the 31st, Mars in your sign will trine Pluto in your 5th house of true love, making for one helluva sexy Halloween. Why not make scary, sexy!

Hope you have some ginger ale handy this month, cause you may get carsick on this wild ride. Let’s get the bad out of the way, shall we? The new moon on the 5th in your 3rd house is one jerk of a hostess. She’s opposing Uranus in your 9th house and squaring Pluto in your 6th. Travel is not ideal this month, nor are writing or speaking endeavors. With the 6th house in play, a health issue could come into the picture. Alternatively, you may be fighting with co-workers. Contracts could go awry, siblings could cause problems, or you may suffer transportation breakdowns. Your work and travel houses have been fighting since October 2012. You may have been struggling with whether your values match your job description, and communication breakdowns with co-workers have probably been likely. You have a few more years to sort out your feelings on this, cause these planets will continue to fight until 2015. Complicating matters this month is the fact that Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st in your house of home. Issues surrounding the house and home will go fuzzy and stall. Promise me you won’t commit to a new lease during this time! As if retrograde weren’t enough, Mercury conjuncts Saturn in your house of home twice this month (the 8th and the 30th). Eek. Saturn is a serious planet that can cause hardships and limitations. Mercury is a communication planet, so you can see these aren’t ideal conditions to commit to a housing situation. Mercury rules your houses of income and long-term goals, and retrograde will cause you to review and change matters of these nature, so I’d wait until next month to see where things stand. There’s always a chance Saturn will actually be beneficial- it could lend stability to your venture- but with that wonky new moon and Mercury retrograde, I personally wouldn’t take any chances. You can look at apartments, but don’t put anything in writing until November 12th. In fact, on November 13th, the sun in your housing sector will trine good-luck Jupiter, so that will be a great time to move forward. This month however, on Oct 13,  your ruler (the sun) in your communication house will square Jupiter in your 12th, so you should pretty much avoid contracts of any kind all month. Some good news for your love life- Venus moves into Sagittarius and your 5th house of pleasure and love on the 8th, sure to make for a romantic time. On the 17th, Venus trines Uranus in your 9th house of travel. You might find sudden sparks with a foreigner or while at university. Alternatively, you might have a flash of inspiration for a publishing or broadcasting project. The eclipse in Aries at 25 degrees on the 18th will bring this same house into focus, and a matter regarding publishing, education, or travel will peak. Just watch out for the 20th, when Mars in your 2nd house of income will oppose neptune in your house of other people’s money. Mars is the aggressor planet and neptune likes to smoke ’em peace pipe, so these two go together like Zuckerberg and the Winklevii twins. Go over any financial dealings with a fine tooth comb, as Neptune likes to conceal details. Halloween brings good news on the money front, as Mars in your income house will trine pluto in your work house- an excellent aspect for raising your salary at your current job! Sounds like a happy halloween to me!

Did you score a career triumph at the end of last month? If you did, expect the finishing touches to be put on on Oct 3, when Mercury in your work house will trine Neptune in your career house. You may tie up any outstanding paperwork at this time. Good thing too cause the new moon falls shortly after, on October 5th, in your house of true love, and my is it a doozy! It’s opposing Uranus in your house of hopes and dreams and squaring Pluto in your 8th house of other people’s money. You may fight with a lover over money, or funding on a creative project could go sour. Alternatively, you may be struggling with whether or not you want that best guy (or girl) friend of yours to be something more…can your relationship go from platonic to romantic? One particular day to keep an eye on is October 13th, when the Sun in your house of love and creativity will square Jupiter in your house of income. Again, money is in the picture- you may have to spend a bunch on a child or creative endeavor, or perhaps your love isn’t bringing home his share of the bacon. This is not a new influence, as Uranus and Pluto have been in a square since June 2012. You may have been trying to get funding for a long term dream, or perhaps a friendship is going through a transformation. Whatever is going on, expect it to continue to morph and change over the years until 2015. You may have some resolution on the 18th, when a lunar eclipse in Aries falls in this same house of hopes and dreams/friendship. A project or commitment close to your heart should culminate at this time, especially if you have a planet or point at 26 degrees of Aries. Alternatively, a friend may make a big announcement. Moving on, your ruler, Mercury, is set to cause all kinds of problems this month. Mercury will conjunct Saturn on the 8th and 30th in your house of work and health. Saturn has been moving through this sector since October 2012. It can often be a relief when Saturn changes sign. It takes 2 1/2 years to move through each house, and by the end of the transit most people are ready for it to move on already! You previously had Saturn in your 5th house, which can be a real bummer. The 5th house rules love, creativity, and most importantly FUN, so you may have felt a little somber at times. Now, Saturn is in your 6th house, which isn’t much of a picnic either! I certainly hope Saturn isn’t bringing to light any medical issues, although that can certainly happen (I discovered a long-term medical issue when Saturn transited my solar 6th house). Most likely you are feeling an increased pressure at work. When I had Saturn transiting my natal 6th house, I found myself working full time and going to grad school full-time. I worked all day and night, including weekends, and for about 9 months it seemed I barely had time to brush my teeth! Mercury conjunct Saturn could manifest in a few different ways, as Mercury is both your ruler and also rules your 4th house of home. You or a family member may fall ill, or a work project could go off the rails. To make matters worse, Mercury will go retrograde in your work house on the 21st, and won’t go direct until November 12th. Mercury retrogrades always affect you the most since it’s your ruler. You may have to re-do work that you thought was finished, or you may encounter staffing or office changes on the job. Alternatively, you may wish to examine your health routines to make sure you’ll doing all you can to stay healthy and fit. If joining a gym is on the agenda, please wait until after Mercury goes direct to make a commitment. Same goes for any job hunting. Any commitment you make at this time will need to be revised, as you’ll find the conditions won’t be what you were hoping for. Now for some good news- Venus moves into your house of committed partnerships on the 8th, injecting new love and life into a romantic relationship. Whether you’re newly dating or been married for a decade, this is sure to put a little pep in your step. Even better, on the 17th, Venus will trine Uranus in your 3rd house of travel and communication. You might say “I love you” for the first time, or perhaps receive a hand-written poem from a lover. Although it’s a little close to Mercury retrograde for my liking, this could be a wonderful time to take a short trip to a nearby B&B for some romantic relaxation. One day to watch out for though is October 10- on this day Venus will square Neptune in your house of career. Work demands may trump pleasure on this day, or perhaps your boss scolds you for taking time off to be with your boo. Home matters will get an energetic boost when Mars moves into this area on the 16th. You might decide to move or do renovations, or perhaps you have family visiting from out of town. On the 20th, Mars will oppose Neptune in your career house, once more pitting your personal house against your career house. You might be so focused on home drama that you’re neglecting work obligations. Luckily on the 31st, Mars will trine Pluto in your house of other people’s money, and a home loan or re-financing option may come through. Alternatively, you could receive an inheritance you didn’t see coming, or a family member comes into a windfall. Happy Halloween to you!

Did a dream close to your heart come true last month? Hopefully it did, and hopefully you had fun, cause this month, it’s time to get down to business. There’s a new moon in your 6th house of work on Oct 5th, indicating some changes in your job are on the horizon. You might get a new work space or assistant, or perhaps change jobs entirely. Unfortunately this new moon is opposed to Uranus in your 12th house of secrets and closure, so you might not like whatever changes are coming. To top it off, Pluto in your 9th house of broad horizons is squaring both the new moon and Uranus. You could be struggling with whether or not your work matches your value system, or you might have problems with a foreign client. If you have to travel for work, these are really not good aspects, and I advise you push your trip to November if you can. Another alternative is that you may be feeling like you’re underperforming at work. Perhaps you put your heart and soul into a project that totally flopped.  Or maybe you’re dealing with some underhanded co-workers or bad working conditions and unsure of how to move forward. One day specifically to watch out for is October 13th, when the Sun in your work sector will square Jupiter in your house of communication. A contract might fall apart, or you may get into a disagreement with a co-worker. Pluto has been tearing through your house of values and beliefs since 2008, and Uranus has been in your house of closure since 2011. Since June of 2012, these two planets have been in a wrestling match, pitting these two houses against each other. Your value system may be undergoing an overhaul, and you might be digging deeply within your psyche to find out exactly who you are. You might want to do yoga or start a meditation practice, because this is an influence that will last until 2015. Another area of your life that seems to be under fire is a close relationship, either in business or love. Saturn has been in this sector since 2012, putting the pressure on this relationship to see if it can stand it. April born Tauruses are finally feeling some relief, but early May bulls are in the thick of it. In a few months, later-born Tauruses will feel the glare as well. You might be in the process of getting married or starting a business partnership, and things could feel serious (and seriously lacking in fun!). Alternatively, the cracks in an existing relationship might be showing, and they could turn out to be too large to repair. If neither of these apply, you may just be feeling run-down or lacking enthusiasm, or stuck in a situation that you won’t be able to get out of until Saturn moves out of orbit. A few days where this pressure might be activated are on the 8th and 30th, when Mercury in this same sector (Scorpio) will conjunct Saturn (it will happen one more time, on November 26th). Mercury rules your houses of income and children, so you may be fighting with a spouse about money or your child. Alternatively, you could feel you’re not getting paid enough by your employer, or you might be having “creative differences” on a work project. When Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st, you will have to go back and review any of these issues. Things might not get sorted out until next month, on Nov 12th, when Mercury goes direct again. I would urge you not to take a new job or get married while Mercury is retrograde. Mercury retrograde obscures facts and reality, and you may find out later that the job or relationship does not work out in your favor. Perhaps the conditions at a new workplace aren’t what you thought they’d be, or a new partner shows a side of their personality you didn’t know about and don’t like . I have ignored this advice on several occasions- once taking a new job and another time moving into a new apartment- each time knowing it was Mercury retrograde but thinking that I didn’t want to pass up what seemed like a good opportunity. Neither time worked out well for me! Both the job and living situation turned out to be awful and stressful, and it took me a long time to get out of both. So proceed at your own peril! Sometimes you don’t really have a choice, and you have to go through a bad situation to get to a good one, but just know that any agreements you enter into at this time will need to be re-done later. Venus (your ruler!) moves into your 8th house of other people’s money on the 8th, and you may hear good news about a partner’s income, or about a loan or tax refund. Just watch out for the 10th, when Venus will square Neptune in your house of friendship and money matters could go wrong. The 17th however, should bring great news, as Venus will trine Uranus in your 12th. You could get an inheritance you didn’t see coming, or perhaps money from a creative endeavor will come through. The lunar eclipse on the 18th will fall in your house of endings, and a project or relationship may come to a close at this time. The universe is asking you to clear out the old to make way for the new. Next month, there will be a full moon in your sign, and Jupiter will be in a good angle, so things will work out for the best. Mars moves into your house of true love and creativity on the 16th, and you may find matters of these nature get a turbo charge. Interested in baby-making? This is a great time to make like bunnies and get on it! Any creative projects will get a boost as your imagination seems to be on fire! Watch out for the 20th, when Mars will oppose Neptune in your house of hopes and dreams. These two polar opposite planets are in two polar opposite houses, and the lines between friendship and love may get blurry. You may find yourself suddenly crushing on someone you thought was just a friend, or perhaps he’s the one suddenly looking at you differently! If you’re looking to turn it into something more, the 26th is a great day…the Sun in your house of relationships will trine Neptune in your house of friendship, and you may wonder why you didn’t get together sooner! On the 31st, Mars in your love house will trine Pluto in your travel house. This is a great day for travel and romance, or for working on a creative project like a novel or screenplay. Why not make it a horror movie? It is Halloween after all!

Bonus September 2013 Horoscopes- Venus and Saturn Conjunct North Node

The symbols used in Western astrology to repre...

On September 18th and 19th, Venus will conjunct Saturn and the North Node in Scorpio, a rare event that won’t happen again until 2026 (Saturn and the North Node will conjunct exactly on the 26th).

The North Node is a fated point, and it’s considered a spiritual teacher. Its lessons are ones we need to follow in order to be truly happy and fulfilled in life. Its opposite point- the South Node- represents the natural habits we’re born with which we need to overcome in order to reach our full potential.

While the North Node in the natal chart points to the area the individual needs to work on throughout their entire life, the transit of the North Node offers temporary lessons in every area to everyone.

What does this particular transit mean for you?

Aries

Events transpire that allow you to let go of your need for financial independence. You don’t have to go it alone- it can be wonderful to be part of a team. Combining your income with another will lift you both. In doing so, you may find your income rises on its own as well.

Taurus

It’s time to give yourself to another emotionally and physically. If you have been avoiding commitment, now is the time that you will merge. Why not take your new union on vacation?

Gemini

Now’s the time to pay attention to the mechanics of situation, not just the big idea. Routine can be necessary for success. Pay attention to the details, get your affairs in order, and you will come out on top.

Cancer

You don’t always need to be one of the crowd. You’re allowed to stand out and shine on your own. Take a risk and bet and yourself. You’ll have a fan club in no time. Bonus- you might meet or commit to the love of your life.

Leo

Who needs to live up to stranger’s expectations, when you have a loving family supporting your every move? Release your need for control, and you just mind find everything goes your way.

Virgo

You’re learning to stop, look, and listen. You thought you knew all the answers, but now it’s time to get your facts straight. No one likes a know-it-all, and your message may have gotten lost with your aggressive delivery. Slow down and keep that tongue in check.

Libra

Time to put on your big girl pants and stop relying on others. You’re perfectly capable of supporting yourself, so why don’t you? Quit with the drama already and stop making excuses. Focus on the here and now, and try to see things as they are.

Scorpio

Co-dependant no more. There’s no need to fear your own power or decision-making capabilities, and you don’t need anyone else to validate you when you can validate yourself. Put on your own oxygen mask first before helping another with theirs, and you may end up with  a more balanced relationship.

Sagittarius

You gotta have faith, the faith, the faith. The universe is telling you that you can’t control everything. Let go, and trust that the details will fall into place without you micro-managing. Focus on the big picture and use your imagination- there’s only so much you can do.

Capricorn

Let go and trust that everyone else is as capable as you. You may have appointed yourself the Ultimate Diva in Charge, but other people don’t appreciate being ordered around. Collaboration is key now. You can achieve way more with others than by yourself.

Aquarius

Events transpire to bring you out of your bubble and into the public eye. Sure, your bed is cozy, but you need to take your rightful place at the head of the boardroom. You can’t win if you don’t try, and pushing yourself to achieve more will bring the emotional benefits you so crave.

Pisces

Trust in the bigger picture and release your need to grasp all the details. Open your mind and anything is possible. Slow down, take a yoga class, meditate, or do what you need to do to quiet the voices in your head. Only then will you reach your full potential.

October 2013 Monthly Horoscopes- Aquarius

September proved to be quite a moneylicious month for you, and October 3rd seems to put the finishing touches on whatever money-making scheme you were cooking up. Mercury, which for you rules other people’s money, is in your 10th house of career, and on this day it gives a friendly ping to Neptune in your income house. If you were waiting on funding for a business or other venture, it may hit the bank on this day. Enjoy it while you can, cause now I gotta ask you to strap on your seat belt- this ride’s about to get bumpy. October 5th brings a new moon in your travel and publishing house that’s harshly angled to Uranus (your ruler!) in your transportation house and Pluto in your house of completions and secrets. You might experience some serious breakdowns while traveling, or a contract might go awry. Did you experience any setbacks in this area in mid-September? The same axis is activated, so it may be a continuation of that issue. Pluto has been in your 12th house since 2008, drudging up mental issues and perhaps messing with your health. This is an odd placement for an Aquarius- your sign is light and airy- you love a good mental discussion, and you’re all about hanging out in groups. The 12th house is dark and asks us to retreat and recuperate- to dig deep into our psyches. You’re stuck with Pluto here until 2023, so embrace what he’s asking you to do. Additionally, Uranus, your ruler, has been zinging around your 3rd house since 2011. Writing and communications projects may have gone through ups and downs, or perhaps a sibling has been all over the place. A lunar eclipse in Aries on the 18th will highlight this house, and a contract may be completed at this time, or perhaps you finish a big writing project. Alternatively, you may find yourself purchasing a new car. Know your chart? Look for any planets or points at 25 degrees Aries. This is an area that will be illuminated for you. And don’t forget to read the horoscope for your rising sign! Your rising sign is just as important as your sun sign, and you should always read for both. Don’t know your ascendant? I recommend going to Cafe Astrology to get your full chart. You’ll need your exact birth time. Moving right along…the Sun in your house of travel will square Jupiter in your 6th house of work and health. A publishing project could go awry, or you might have an issue with a foreign client. Speaking of work, you’ve had quite a go of it since October 2012, when Saturn entered your career house. This month, Mercury travels this same house and conjuncts Saturn twice- on the 8th and the 30th, and goes retrograde on the 21st. Since Mercury rules your 8th house of other people’s money, as well as your 5th house of love, creativity, and children, you may experience delays or set backs in these areas. Luckily, on the 26th, the Sun in your career house will trine Neptune in your income house, and a bonus or raise may come your way. More good news- Venus will enter your 11th house of friendships on the 8th. Sparks may fly with a friend, or perhaps a pal will set you up on a fun date. On the 17th, Venus trines Uranus in your 3rd house. You might find unexpected love on a short trip with friends, or even at the super market! Make sure you’re out and about on this day! Mars enters your 8th house of other people’s money on the 16th, so keep an eye on your credit card. The good news about Mars in the 8th? Your sex drive will sky rocket. Even better, on the 31st, Mars will trine Pluto in your 12th house of secrets.  The interplay between these two ferocious planets in your most mysterious and sexy houses means you might want to stay in this Halloween. In bed that is. Grrar.

October 2013 Horoscope- Sagittarius

It appears you’re wrapping up a home-related issue. Did the full moon last month complete a move? If so, your aspects continue to be good in the first few days of October. Mercury in your house of completions trines Neptune in your house of home on the 3rd, so you might be finishing up some last minute paperwork. A new moon on the 5th is proving to be quite a headache for all signs this month. For you, the new moon occurs in your house of hopes and dreams. It’s also the house that rules friendships. Normally this is an excellent place for a new moon- it’s full of happy light energy- anything is possible! Unfortunately, this moon is a real ball buster, opposing Uranus in your fifth house of love, children, and creativity, and squaring Pluto in your house of income. You might be suffering from unnecessary drama in a relationship or fighting about money with a friend, lover, or child. Sagittarius is known for being vocal with their opinions- perhaps you’re getting called out on your tendency to dominate conversations. Another option could be that you’re finally striking it out on your own-perhaps starting your business or deciding to write a novel- instead of falling back on job after job working for “the man.” New endeavors take time, so take any difficulties in stride. None of these are particularly new influences. Pluto entered your income realm in 2008 and has seen to it that you don’t get complacent in money matters. Your financial situation has probably gone through massive ebbs and flows. Additionally, Uranus has been stirring up all kinds of trouble in your 5th house since 2011. Perhaps you got unexpectedly pregnant, or have found yourself falling easily in and out of love. Since June 2012, these two planets have been in a screaming match with each other, bringing these matters to a climax. Luckily, Venus moves into your sign on the 8th, giving you charm in spades. On the 17th, Venus will trine Uranus in your 5th house of true love, making for a sexy fun time with a special beau. If you’re single, you might meet someone out of the blue. Coupled up Sags might be surprised by a romantic gesture from a loved one. This is also a great time to upgrade your wardrobe or appearance- just make sure you do it before Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st. Mercury will be in your 12th house, so you may have to go back and address a previous health or mental issue. Because Mercury rules your 7th and 10th houses, issues with your spouse or employer may come up. Watch out for the 13th, when the Sun in your friendship house will square Jupiter (your ruler) in your house of other people’s money. You may have problems with the financing of a long-term project, or perhaps you’ll have to lend money to a friend. The lunar eclipse on Oct 18th sees a love or creative project come to a climax. You might break it off with a honey or on the flip side, get engaged. Alternatively, you might discover or announce a pregnancy! Mars enters your career sector on the 16th, giving this area a boost of energy. You may get some press or be extra busy impressing VIPs. Watch out on the 20th, when Mars will oppose Neptune in your house of home. Mars stirs the pot, while Neptune casts a fog, so things could get confusing. You might be so busy at work that you’re overlooking things on the home front. The end of the month- Halloween specifically- brings good news, as Mars in your career house will trine Pluto in your 2nd house. You might end up with bonus or raise. Happy Halloween indeed! Just watch out for the Pluto/Uranus square  going on between your 2nd and 5th houses, an influence that will go into November (and ebb and flow until 2015!). You may argue with your love about money, or perhaps find that a child is costing you a lot of money.
