Date Posted: 23:17:05 10/24/11 Mon All About Scorpio Of all that's been written about Scorpio over the years, an unfair portion of it has been worded to portray those born under this Sun sign as downright intimidating. It's as if simply getting to know them requires superhuman courage and a fully armed bodyguard! It's true that Scorpio folks aren't for the faint of heart. They're not shallow, they won't be manipulated and they'll never settle for less than what they really want. In the Scorpio mind, doing so would equate with giving up -- and that's simply not within their realm of thought. But even when not on a mission, a Scorpio is still sniffing out clues. They're born detectives always on duty, analysts who never stop digging for answers, investigators perpetually in search of information. A mystery is an invitation -- what's below the surface is simply irresistible to them. And speaking of irresistible, if you're attracted to a Scorpio (and vice versa), whether it's been 24 hours or 24 years, rest assured that they'll never cease to amaze, astound and startle you. Just when you think you've got them all figured out -- although you likely stopped laboring under that illusion shortly after you met -- they'll say or do something that will cause you to find them even more fascinating. They're loyal to a fault and perfectly willing to walk through fire for you ... but they've got a well-documented jealous streak, so don't play games with that emotion. Whether or not you opt to make the relationship legal, "Until death do us part" will always apply -- a Scorpio's love lasts forever! Your Starcast for October 23 - November 22 October 23: The Sun enters Scorpio The Sun joins Mercury and Venus in this strong Water sign, adding to the intensity of these times. You won't feel lukewarm about anything, which makes this a great transit to go all-out for what you want! Just be sure to consider others' needs as well as your own, or you're likely to become embroiled in messy power battles. Scorpio is a sign that loves to merge, so if you can find other people with similar goals, the power of two -- or three, or more -- will push you further than you'd make it on your own. October 26: New Moon in Scorpio Money is a big topic during this new Moon cycle, so plan on having a few financial discussions. The Sun and Moon oppose retrograde Jupiter in money-focused Taurus, while also forming a trine with powerful Pluto in achievement-oriented Capricorn. With everything happening today, practicality is the key word. Given the Venus-Mars square in this picture, don't expect everyone to be in agreement. Few signs are as intensely driven and powerful as Scorpio, so use this time to put everything you've got into furthering your goals and dreams. Work hard and exercise patience now, for at next month's full Moon, you'll have a chance to stand back and take a look at all you've accomplished! October 26: Venus squares Mars Whenever these two relationship planets, Venus (attraction) and Mars (desire), engage in a square aspect, someone is conflicted. Maybe it's you. Venus shows us our attractions, and when it's in super-intense Scorpio, we're drawn to people we view as deep and mysterious. Sometimes the person you like is not necessarily the person you desire -- it's just one of life's odd conundrums! This square can spice things up or cause problems; you're sure to see the direction in which it's leading you by the end of the week. October 28: Jupiter trines Pluto This aspect last occurred on July 7, when Jupiter had just entered Taurus. Now that this big planet is retrograde, these two connect once again, returning you to people who are ready to help you; take this opportunity to get a leg up the ladder in your business ventures. As you advance your plans, remember that since Jupiter is retrograde, you're laying the groundwork now for future success, so don't get pushy with anything -- patience and thoroughness are your friends right now. Perhaps most importantly, believe in yourself and others will, too! October 28: The Sun opposes Jupiter and sextiles Pluto The Sun connects with the powerful Jupiter-Pluto trine, so be sure to take full advantage of this powerful aspect! Oppositions such as the current Sun-Jupiter placement (which always takes place approximately two months into Jupiter's retrograde cycle) give us the chance to stand back and reflect, so take time to consider what's happened over the last few months. There are probably things you thought would come about, but didn't; at the same time, it's likely that ideas you hadn't previously considered now seem viable. People in influential positions can -- and will -- help you, so now is the time to showcase your confidence and talents! (Note that Jupiter turns direct on December 25.) October 31: Venus squares Neptune Earlier this month, when Venus in Libra trined Neptune, your heart opened up to new possibilities. Now Venus is in sensitive Scorpio, and no matter how much you want to connect deeply with someone, you'll need to be extra-cautious since certain people are not always who they seem to be! When Venus meets spiritual, idealistic Neptune in a square aspect, people often experience difficulty determining the difference between fantasy and reality. November 2: Venus enters Sagittarius Enough intensity! Love planet Venus leaves the deep waters of Scorpio and enters the most restless, nomadic sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius, making freedom, independence and having enough room to breathe your new top priorities. If you're in a committed relationship, this is a wonderful time to do something new and adventurous. Are you single? Get out among people that actually do something! Ideas for activities could include joining a travel club or enrolling in a language class. November 2: Mercury enters Sagittarius Isn't it refreshing to meet people who tell the truth? As long as they temper their honesty with tact, what they say can be extremely helpful. When communication planet Mercury travels through such an outspoken sign as Sagittarius, plenty of benefits are inevitable -- and of course, nothing beats this placement for sheer enthusiasm and optimism! However, some people may have a tendency to say way too much during this transit, so expect some statements to be followed by retractions and explanations! You'll get the most out of this time by thinking before you speak. November 9: Neptune turns direct Neptune, retrograde since June 3, finally turns around in Aquarius and heads toward Pisces, a sign it will occupy for the next 14 years. Hopefully you used the retrograde period to revisit your biggest goals, and are now able to not only envision the future you desire, but ready to take steps to turn those dreams into reality! Neptune reminds us to strengthen our spiritual foundation and invest energy into achieving our dreams. For extra insight, check the house in your natal chart through which Neptune is currently transiting. November 10: Full Moon in Taurus To understand why the full Moon's influence is so strong -- and why it inspires emotions to peak -- you only need to watch the Moon's forceful pull on the ocean's tides. Each year as the Sun transits through Scorpio, the full Moon is in Taurus, the sign that rules money and values ... so, of course, right now you can expect to feel strongly about anything to do with finances. You may encounter other people whose values oppose yours, so part of this time will consist of seeing how you conduct yourself when your paths cross. Make sure you know how to stand your ground, but be just as aware of when you're being overly stubborn! In general, this is a good time to do something that helps you feel materially comfortable, whether it's investing, creating a savings plan or purchasing items with lasting value. And finally, because Neptune is changing direction during this full Moon, make sure you know where your money is going. Don't be in denial or in the dark about anything relating to your financial life! November 10: Mars enters Virgo As Mars enters the hardest working sign of the zodiac, you'll naturally feel quite motivated, possessing enough energy to make great strides toward your goals. This transit particularly favors progress on any health-related issue, so take advantage of this time to get fit, lose weight or learn to meditate. Virgo is also a sign that rules service, so if you've been considering a volunteer project, choose a cause close to your heart and lend a hand! Examine where Mars is traveling through your birth chart for plenty of helpful and fun ideas. November 16: Mars trines Jupiter Mars in analytical Virgo always wants to do everything perfectly. Right now, you're in all likelihood feeling very conscientious, and all your hard work will be rewarded with this supportive aspect to generous Jupiter. You have people in your life who believe in you and are your best cheerleaders, so let them be the wind beneath your wings. Your abundance of energy and confidence will propel you toward your dreams and goals! November 20: Sun squares Neptune As the Sun travels through investigative Scorpio, you're like a private detective who'll stop at nothing! Whether you're trying to find a job, a house or a new love, you're extra-determined right now. But with the Sun's challenging square to nebulous Neptune, not everything will be revealed, and you may need to make decisions without knowing all the facts. Watch out for dishonest people, as well as information that's too good to be true. This aspect is perfect for boosting your imagination, so get to work on creative projects: Make a vision board, write in your journal or put together a playlist of your favorite songs. Enjoy the Sun's transit through Scorpio! AstroLesson: How to Prepare for a Mars Retrograde Period Since Mars enters Virgo -- the sign in which it will turn retrograde on January 24, 2012 -- during the current solar period, this is an ideal time to discuss how to prepare for this important transit! Mars represents action, movement and desire; whenever you get your plans in motion, you're activating Mars energy. As Mars transits through the 12 Sun signs, as well as through the houses in your birth chart, it activates themes represented by those houses. Virgo is a sign that loves goal and plans. Efficient, analytical and careful, Mars in Virgo is practical at its best -- and overly perfectionist at its worst. But no matter what, Mars in Virgo is unafraid of hard work, and it likes to get the job done the right way the first time. Hopefully you know your own chart well enough to see the house (or houses) that contain Virgo. With Mars's upcoming retrograde period (January 24 - April 14, 2012), this is where you'll spend a great deal of time as Mars transits through Virgo between November 10, 2011 - July 3, 2012. Since you're armed with advance information about this long transit, use it to your benefit! Choose a project related to the house in your own chart where Mars will travel through Virgo, and be sure to give it your all. Just make sure you leave plenty of room to revise during Mars's retrograde period -- this way, in late spring and early summer, you'll make tremendous progress!
