Astrology forecast for Oct. 24-Nov. 6
By Cortney Litwin/Staff Writer
A trio of Scorpio planets-Sun, Venus, and now Mercury, after the 31st-stir up passion, intrigue and a desire to explore the mysteries of, well, whatever or whomever you’re exploring. Neptune, the planet of illusion, causes fantasies to run amuck.
But on the positive side, Neptune also heightens spiritual connectivity. Just be sure to double-check your facts in the material world.
Romantically, the partner you have on a pedestal may suddenly grow feet of clay after Neptune retreats by the second week of November.
The New Moon on Nov. 4 heralds a deepening of intimacy-or an obsession. Use the powerful Scorpio influences for personal transformation.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your Mars ruler in the amicable sign of Libra and benignly influenced by dreamy Neptune is sure to bliss-out even the most bullheaded of rams. Also, pay attention to your intuition. The New Moon awakens your passion and brings an emotional release.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The need for a true soul connection in romance spreads an aura of idealism and increased sensitivity over sensible bulls, which could lead to a misunderstanding in a relationship, if you don’t keep one foot on the ground. The New Moon also highlights unions.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Your Mercury ruler moving into Scorpio on Oct. 31 urges you to play detective to uncover the truth in a personal matter. A secret, or a seemingly innocent deception, may backfire around Nov. 6. The New Moon highlights a new health regimen.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Starry-eyed Moonchildren need to swallow a teaspoon of practicality where a romantic partner is concerned, who may promise more than he/she can deliver. The New Moon also activates Aphrodite and highlights a burst of creativity.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The urge to create the ultimate home environment may find you redecorating or remodeling, and throwing a glamorous dinner party as well. Just watch out for an overly needy family member. The New Moon also highlights your home life.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You’re just exploding with new ideas with all the Scorpio influences, as well as the New Moon, activating your mental energies. Communication is the key to success. A short trip for pleasure may also be in the stars.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your Venus ruler dancing with the Sun emphasizes romance, but dreamy Neptune clouds a relationship issue. Venus is still retrograde, so the past may intrude on a present relationship. The new Moon materializes a new financial venture.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
How can you go wrong with the planets of creativity, love and communications in your sign, along with the New Moon? Just watch out for Neptune’s illusions in the relationship department. However, Neptune can also send you on a life-changing spiritual journey.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Lots to be said for delving into your subconscious now, so pay attention to emotional insights. Intuitive hunches can set you on the path to personal fulfillment. The New Moon stirs up the past as well as your dreams, which can be quite informative.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
With your Saturn ruler socializing with talkative Mercury, communications can lead to a successful outcome around the 31st. The New Moon indicates friendships, and group activities assist you in whatever you desire to accomplish.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
“Go for it” should be your motto, with your Uranus ruler turning direct Nov. 4. Stop procrastinating. The New Moon as well as other Scorpio influences will bring increased energy to your career. Just don’t let your boss undervalue your abilities.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Let your natural spiritual abilities take flight. You have a surplus of planetary energy, including the New Moon, to assist you in connecting to your “higher self.” Let your dreams and intuitive hunches guide the way. A long-distance trip may also be on your path, soon.
