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!

October 2013 Horoscope- Sagittarius

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.

Happy Birthday Leo- August Horoscope 2013

Happy birthday Leo, you dashing devil you.

As the month starts off, you might still be dealing with some drama you experienced at the end of July, as Mars in your 12th house is still squaring Uranus in your 9th. Got a lot of energy you don’t know what to do with? The universe appears to be blocking your efforts. Perhaps a vacation went wrong, or your publisher gave you (another!) round of laborious notes. Maybe your university just told you they messed up- you actually need to take two more credits next semester if you want to graduate on time…oops! Don’t worry dear Lion, things will ease up in a few days, and by the end of the month you’ll be ROARING again in no time!

The first bit of good news comes on Aug 3. Venus in your house of income and self-worth will sextile Mars in your house of closure, giving you some much needed relief from Uranus’s glare.

Later, on the 5th, the Sun (your ruler!) in your first house will trine Uranus in Aries, your house of travel and publishing. What a beautiful aspect! Whatever comes up will be unexpected and delight you. Perhaps you finally get around to planning that vacation, or that publisher finally agrees to publish your book! Even better, the following day, Aug 6th,  brings a new moon in your first house of self-image. Whatever you launch around this time will benefit you in an unexpected way. Your year will be full of new surprises and ventures, especially if your birthday falls within 5 days of Aug 6th, or if your ascendant is between 9 and 19 degrees of Leo. If you have any planets in your natal chart between 9 and 19 degrees of Leo, Sagittarius, or Aries, that part of your chart will be lit up as well.

Alas, you may encounter some difficulty on Aug 8th, when Jupiter in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn. Watch your health on this day, as these planets pose stressful aspects between your 12th house of hospitals and 6th house of health. I would not schedule an operation for this day. Conversely, someone at work who has been subtly sabotaging you for a while might finally pull out the big guns on this day and declare full on war! The good news is you have the good luck planet Jupiter protecting your 12th house until July of next year. While things might be unpleasant for a little while, the universe is just clearing things out for you to make an even bigger, bolder statement next year when Jupiter enters Leo, and the world will finally know your power!

Luckily, you can still make the most of your time until then. On Aug 15th, Mercury in Leo trines Uranus in Aries. Mercury is the natural ruler of your house of income and your house of friendships. An unexpected bonus may come your way, or the money you needed to fund your screenplay will come through. Perhaps a friend you haven’t seen in a while will invite you on a fun getaway and for once you’ll have the spare cash to get away!

On Aug 20th, a full moon in your 7th house of relationships brings a partnership matter to a close. Been casually dating? Now’s the time to make it official. Been rocky for a while? Maybe it’s time to cut those toxic ties. Alternatively, a decision may be reached in any legal matter, or a business partnership could solidify or fall apart. Leos between the degrees of 23 and 30 will feel this the most. Early degree Virgos will be hit as well.

On Aug 21, Jupiter in Cancer squares Aries in Uranus. Admittedly, this will be a tough time. Avoid traveling on this date, as I feel something could go wrong. If you are in the publishing or academic world, you may encounter delays from higher ups.

Luckily, the month ends on a strong note. Mars enters your sign on the 29th for the first time in two years, giving you energy to spare! Why don’t you finally start that creative project you’ve been thinking about? Mars gives you the drive, while Jupiter in the 12th will expand your creativity. Are you finally ready to kick that addiction or bad habit? Now’s the time as you’ll have motivation in droves.

On Aug 26th, Venus in your third house sextiles Uranus in Aries while the Sun and Mercury in Virgo sextile Neptune in your 8th. If you’re a writer, these are beautiful aspects! If the money didn’t come through earlier in the month, surely it will now. Just make sure you have all the facts before signing any contracts. Alternatively, you might plan a trip with a beloved sibling, or find romance while perusing the produce aisle! This would be an excellent time for travel, whether it’s a short distance or far!

The month ends on Aug 31 as your ruler (the Sun) in the 2nd house sextiles Saturn in your 4th house of home and family. A home loan may come through or you may get a good price if you are selling your house. Mercury will be signaling Jupiter on this day as well, indicating that everything will go according to your liking. It may feel like you are ending a chapter of your life, but we all need change to grow. Whatever you sign now will benefit you for a long time. You are clearing out the dead wood and will continue to do so for the next 11 months. Come July 16, 2014, you will be the star of the zodiac, so think of this time as your dress rehearsal!

* this was my first time writing a horoscope! If you like what you read, let me know and I’ll consider expanding the signs and months.
