On this All Saints” Day, a time to honor and remember the departed souls, the sun in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces form a magical trine in the sky that work like a pair of dimension scissors, cutting the fabric of reality to let the inspiration in from other realms. If you believe that your ancestors can lend a helping hand from beyond, why not just ask?
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may get off to a slow start, and perhaps your goal is the thing to blame — not quite big enough to enthuse you. See what happens after you raise the stakes.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In one mood, you”ll say, “No regrets.” In another mood, there”s a list of things you would do differently if you could. Both moods have their merits. The past needs to be examined, after all. It also needs to be released.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You”re considerate, and you love to please, but you”re also careful not to waste a lot of effort where it won”t be appreciated. You”ll have the biggest impact when your efforts are well-matched to the situation.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Go on and jot down those notes to yourself. You”ll be surprised by your own pen. Also, writing will help you mentally organize yourself even if you don”t save what you”ve written.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People making hysterical fools out of themselves may be in keeping with the shenanigans of the day, and you”ll laugh along with the others. You won”t feel complete until you”ve tended to more serious tones, too.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Congratulations: Today you are the solution. Of course, that means that in order to really shine, you need a problem. Open your helping heart and the perfect one will quickly show up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You”ll speak powerfully and confidently. Your ideas will be a hit, as long as you act on them. Be decisive. Follow through. Don”t ask for permission when you know it”s what”s best for all.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The one who should be in the starring role of your life is you. Someone else seems to be vying for the part these days. Yes, this person needs care and love, too — but save some for you! Healthy boundaries are the way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Stay buoyant. The others are counting on you to break the ice, crack a joke, make it fun. The heavy karma will work itself out in a hundred lighthearted exchanges.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It might not go according to plan, but it will all go better because you have a plan. Prioritize consciously before you get into your day, or you”ll wind up serving someone else”s priorities.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People will work for your approval, ask for your advice and make various kinds of attempts for your support. It is no small thing to be respected by your peers.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You”ve had to surmount a few difficulties to get here, and now the challenge you face is one of your own design — that”s what makes it worthwhile. This is harder than what others would have encouraged you to take on.
TODAY”S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 1). You”ll be packaging your skills differently and trading on them differently as well — just the change you needed to bring more money and satisfaction into your life. Your connection with nature is strong, and this will figure into the traveling you do in 2017. You”ll be celebrated for your talents in February and July. Aries and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 1, 22, 21 and 19.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: A Scorpio reader asks: “Don”t Scorpios get a bad rap with Halloween as their big holiday? A friend of mine had her cards read by a tarot card reader who said that the card most associated with Scorpio is the ”Death” card. Isn”t that taking it a bit too far? I”m not creepy or dark and gothic. Some people say I”m cheerful! Am I hiding my true nature or in denial?”
Neither. Western cultures attach such a negative connotation to death that it”s hard to see symbols of death as anything but a bad omen. I”m not saying that one should celebrate things to do with death, but there are cultures who do. The “Death” card in the tarot deck represents transformation — and death is the ultimate transformation. From the tiniest blade of grass to the biggest star, all things change into something other than what they are. Instead of thinking of Scorpio as the ruler of all things macabre, maybe it would help you to think of Scorpio as the agent of inevitable, natural and beautiful change.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Penn Badgley stars with Macaulay Culkin in the new comedy “Adam Green”s Aladdin.” The strongest influence in this “Gossip Girl” star”s natal chart is sizzling Scorpio, though his action planet, Mars, is in philanthropic Aquarius. Badgley has been made a member of the National Celebrity Cabinet by the American Red Cross.
