The Libra season was full of beauty and connection, along with a few mishaps — mostly mistakes of assumption. We assume people will behave as others we’ve known have. We assume people share our logic and process the world as we do. On the cusp of Scorpio season, it’s those who make fewer assumptions who will clearly see the advantages before them.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). What started as an exciting attraction has developed into something else, like a pursuit, a study, a project, a profound connection, or some combination of one or all. This isn’t the last time the relationship will transform.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Persist with what works and it will work even better. Success is a given, as long as you don’t change things up. Boredom is to be expected and worked through until you find new layers and dimensions that make it interesting again.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll custom-fit your efforts to the variety of characters who parade through your world, each seeming to need something different. You’ll be as flexible as your attitude. There are so many ways to give your personal touch.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Thoughtful communication will draw people in. You’ll have just the right words to convey your message, but more importantly, you’ll hit the tones that make it go down like a spoonful of sugar.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Lend a hand wherever you can. What comes easily to you is a challenge for someone close, and they are very adept at the thing you can’t do at all. This is what makes you such a fantastic team.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not a fan of the restlessness that comes with having too little to do, though having too much is worse. On days like today, when you hit that sweet middle zone, it’s important to remember your formula so you can repeat it later.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Knowing that everything has a season, you commit to this special moment as though there will never be another one like it, which, of course, there won’t be. Life comes to you with vivid sweetness.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You say “yes” to what is happening and these three letters will add up to the only word you need to start an alliance, begin the mission, inject the energy, and open the gates to tomorrow.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When people feel it’s safe to be their flawed, vulnerable, wonderful selves, interactions get easier. You figure out where to meet for the real connection, not the fragile kind that happens when two facades meet with a glue stick.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everyone resonates to a certain tone, and those who hit it cannot help but move the others who are primed to ring out at that vibration. This is why a slight shift in tone makes the difference between being chosen or not. In short: Attitude is everything.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There will be consequences for overstepping boundaries, however unintentional the breach. Since many boundaries are invisible, stay keenly aware of subtle reactions and err on the side of caution. At least heightened awareness makes life more exciting.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Insecurity wears the mask of arrogance. This is nothing to worry about, only something to spot. When someone is behaving as though they need more attention, consider giving it to them as a balm to ease the sting of vulnerability.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22). The beautiful challenges of the year will lead you to understand that you’re packing way more power than ever. Inside you is a host of angels, a squad of cheerleaders and an alliance of heroes just waiting to assist your valiant efforts. Go big — you’re unstoppable. More highlights: Soul-nourishing work. A growing inner circle. One victory tips off three more. Leo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 33, 28 and 5.
