Astrology: October 22 – October 29, 2016

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The Sun leaves Libra and you can immediately feel the constraints coming off. That doesn’t mean it’s all plain sailing. All the emotions you have been damming up under a veneer of politeness will now have to be siphoned off, or worked through in some creative way, before clarity comes.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
In a couple of days, the Sun will move into Scorpio and you will find yourself face to face with the complexity of emotion. A simple life grounded in understanding, is very different from a simple life grounded in denial. With Venus in Sagittarius, truth is important. Work at integration.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)
Slowly, after a period of letting-go, there’s a little glimmer of interest in relationship and connecting again. As the Sun moves into Scorpio on the 24th, so you will find yourself ready to take another look at emotions that proved a little too wild to ride last time around. Equanimity is possible.

CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)
The Moon begins her week waning in Cancer. Not only is she waning but she is pointing at the need for you to go out into the world at large and make your mark. It is odd timing. The moment isn’t ideal. You need to take your stand anyway. Your principles must override circumstance.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
The Sun moves into Scorpio on the 24th. As it does, you are moved from a place of relaxation and ease, to one where you will need to be a little more alert than usual. Large and obvious challenges are easy for lions. Small, well-armoured ones with stings are far trickier. Be on your toes.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

It’s a relief to you when some of the social veneer slips and what’s really going on in people’s hearts and minds comes to the surface. You aren’t any more comfortable in the role of perfectionist than others are in their designated straight-jackets. Enjoy the shift into messy authenticity.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
The Sun leaves Libra early this week. You won’t have too many feathers ruffled as it goes into the mysterious watery territory that is Scorpio. You still have mighty Jupiter and dexterous Mercury to keep you company. Continue working on ways to broaden your horizons, in your way.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
The Sun arrives in your sign in two days. Scorpions aren’t traditionally endeared to sunlight. They like shadier places. Still, the Sun will fill you with energy. It will motivate you to let go of the brakes and get on with projects and relationships you have had in mothballs. Get on with life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
There’s something about Sagittarians that engenders happiness. Venus is assisting you in this by turning up the dimmer-switch on your charm and joviality. Fortunately, Saturn remains present, as still as a rock, making sure you don’t lose your footing in the glow of your own luminescence.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
As the Sun moves into Scorpio on the 24th, you will feel like the logjam that has been besetting you, quickly and silently releases. Procedural red tape is finally removed and you can get on with business. Pluto will continue to hold you accountable. Misuse power and you will know it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
As you make your way incrementally towards feeling utterly at home with yourself, you are asked to take on a whole lot of other people’s needs. Adjudicating in other people’s dramas can be an energy consuming thing. Keep your wits about you lest you lose yourself. Embrace change.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The friction that you have felt lately has somehow rubbed you up the right way. In responding to it, you have had to be innovative. As the Sun moves into Scorpio, the friction will go away and you will find yourself in more of a flow. Continue to uproot old patterns that no longer serve you.
