Sagittarius, the Archer

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.

October 2013 Horoscopes- Scorpio

The Sting of the Scorpion

Did you know that when food is scarce, scorpions have the ability to slow their metabolism down enough to survive on only one insect a year? Perhaps you’d heard that researchers discovered they were able to freeze a scorpion overnight, only to watch it thaw out and walk away the next morning. Your sign is a survivor, Scorpio, and it’s known for its ability to navigate the dark side effectively. This skill will come in handy this month, as the new moon in the darkest part of your chart, the 12th house of secrets and closure, will be harshly angled to Uranus in your house of work and health, and Pluto (your ruler!) in your house of communication. You got a taste of this last month, but because this month is powered by a new moon, things will get even messier. You might be having problems at your workplace, or having it out with an underhanded co-worker. Or maybe YOU’RE the underhanded co-worker, and your mis-deeds are finally biting you in the butt. Alternatively, you might be having transportation or health issues. If your issues are work or health related, they should be resolved by the 18th, when a lunar eclipse in your 6th brings things to climax. Know your chart? See if any planets or points fall at 25 degrees of Aries. If so, keep an eye on that area of life. Luckily, the beginning of the month starts off on a better note. On the 3rd, Mercury in your sign will trine Neptune in Pisces in your 5th house of true love. Pisces is a fellow water sign that blends beautifully with yours, and things seem to be going swimmingly in your love life. When the Sun moves into your sign near the end of the month and signals Pisces in the same way (on the 26th), things will get even better. Watch out for the 13th, when the Sun in your 12th house will square Jupiter in your 9th. Travel or education matters will go wrong on this day, or you may have problems with a publishing or broadcasting project. Also, we need to talk Mercury for a second, cause this little bugger is causing problems all month. Not only will the stinker be going retrograde on the 21st, but he’ll also be conjuncting Saturn in your sign TWICE- on the 8th and the 30th- which could cause problems with your money or friendships since Mercury rules these areas. Things should straighten out next month when Mercury goes direct on the 12th, although you have to deal with Mercury hitting Saturn in your first house of self one more time on the 26th of November. Saturn in your first house has been putting pressure on you since October 2012, and will continue to do so until 2015. October born Scorpios are finally coming out from under Saturn’s glare, but those born in early November are currently feeling the burn. Don’t fret- although it can feel rough now, any changes you’re going through are ultimately for the best. Mars enters your friendship house on the 8th, so you can expect lots of activity in that area all month. On the 20th, Mars will oppose Neptune in your 5th, making for some uneasiness surrounding love and friendship. You may have gotten friend-zoned (we’ve all been there), or perhaps you were the one who had to break the news to a lovestruck friend that you just want to be pals. Alternatively, a creative project may go awry this day. Luckily, on Halloween, Mars will trine Pluto (your ruler) in your house of communication, smoothing things over.

September 2013 Horoscopes- Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

Virgo 

Happy birthday virgin, it’s your time to shine! A new moon in your sign on the 5th is beautifully angled to Jupiter in your house of hopes and dreams, suggesting that any  ventures you begin will benefit you for a long time to come. This is extra true if your birthday (or a planet in your natal chart) falls between 8 and 18 degrees of Virgo. Your ruler, Mercury, moves into your second house of income on the 10th, giving you an edge in all matters relating to finances. Be careful on the 9th, when Mars in your 12th house of secrets squares saturn in your 3rd house of communication. You might say something you don’t mean (or do mean, but regret saying). Another day to watch out for is the 16th, when your ruler Mercury in the 2nd squares Uranus in your 8th house and Pluto in your 5th. Love and money won’t mix, and Mars in the mix in your 12th suggests a secret (yours or your lover’s) will be exposed. A full moon in Pisces on the 19th brings your partner front and center. You might make it official or break it off, but with Mars in the 12th just make sure you’re not in a toxic relationship! With Pluto going direct on the 21st, love matters will definitely become more clear. One more day to look out for is the 20th, when your ruler Mercury squares Jupiter in the 11th house. If you lent money to a friend, don’t expect it back. As my dad always says, never lend out anything you can’t live without, because you probably won’t get it back (he has a Scorpio moon, can you tell?) Luckily, the month ends on a high note, with Venus in your 3rd house (Scorpio) beaming lovingly at Jupiter in your 11th. You might get a new car, hear wonderful news about a sibling, sign a contract, or perhaps just take a romantic trip out of town. Sounds like a good time to me!

Libra

Rest. It’s a good thing. A new moon on the 5th in your 12th house means that this month may see you laying a little low. Read a book, take a bath, and drink some wine. You have cosmic permission to recuperate and retreat. Because this new moon is so beautifully angled to Jupiter in your 10th house, Libras in a creative profession have a great edge. This would be a great time to finally write that novel you’ve been thinking about. You may not feel like anyone thinks you’re anything special right now, but trust me- important people are watching you and your time will come soon- perhaps even next month! Your ruler, Venus, moves into your 2nd house on the 12th, suggesting now’s a good time to focus on your earning power. Time for a new job? A full moon in your 6th house of work on the 19th might make this a real possibility. Just keep an eye on your health, as you may feel run down around this time. Mars moves through your house of friendship all month and squares Saturn in your income house on the 9th. Money matters might be discouraging at this time (what’s new), but by the end of the month (9/26) your ruler in the 2nd will smile at Jupiter in the 10th, suggesting that you’ll finally get the money and title you deserve. I’m not gonna lie- mid month will be tough for home and partnership matters. On 9/16, Mercury in your sign will oppose Uranus in your partnership house and form a t-square with pluto in your house of home. Yikes. Mars will be fanning the flames from the sidelines like a drunk asshole at a football game. Remember that whole book/wine/bath advice? Yeah, this is a good day for that.

Scorpio

A new moon on the 5th ushers in a fun-filled month of social gatherings. Been planning a trip? This moon is wonderfully angled to Jupiter in your 9th, making it a prime time to travel with friends. Applying to the college or grad school or your dreams? Do it now and make the most out of these gorgeous aspects! On the 9th, Mars in your house of career squares Saturn in your sign. Things may not go according to plan on the work front. Adding to the work stress is the t-sqaure mid month (9/16), when your ruler Pluto in the 3rd will t-square Mercury in your 12th and Uranus in your 6th house. Yikes! Communication with co-workers will be stressful and you might feel like you’re underperforming. Luckily, your ruler, Pluto, goes direct on the 21st, and any slowdowns you’ve been experiencing should speed on up. Also, on the 14th, Venus in your sign will trine Neptune in your house of true love, making love matters melt any work worries away. Even better- the full moon on the 19th in your house of true love crystallizes a matter close to your heart! Is an engagement on the way? Venus will conjunct Saturn in your sign, and sextile your ruler, suggesting this is a  real possibility. Enjoy!

Sagittarius

Look at you, big shot! A new moon on the 5th might see you get that long-deserved promotion or perhaps at least some fancy press. Jupiter, your ruler, in your house of other people’s money, tells me you’ll get a nice big fat bonus to go with it. Things might get busy, as mars in your 9th will bring lots of travel. Be careful on 9/9, when mars squares Saturn in your 12th house of secrets. Something could go wrong on a trip. Additionally, mid-month could get a little tricky on the friendship and love front, as mercury and uranus oppose each other and square pluto in your house of income. Luckily, you aren’t in the direct line of fire so you may escape unscathed. Be sure to lend a shoulder to cry on for your not so lucky zodiac pals- Aries, Caps, and Libras, and to a lesser extent Cancers and Leos will feel the heat from this one. On the 20th, friendship and money don’t mix, as mercury in your house of friendship will square your ruler in the 8th. Alternatively, a friendship might go through a radical transformation. A full moon on the 19th will bring a home related matter to conclusion. Are you buying a bigger, better house with your newfound wealth? With Venus in your 12th house trining Neptune in your house of home earlier this month, you may be bidding a bittersweet goodbye to a beloved house. It can be hard to let go of the past, but it’s all for the best. Pluto goes direct on the 21st in your house of income, making money money matters more straightforward.
