Happy Halloween! I was thinking about the "big picture" and how we all reside under the same big sky. Things that affect us personally affect countries and cities and people in power. They also affect us. The key for a person or a country is - do some of the planets traveling overhead now make a connection with the planets in the birth chart. For the US, (and probably lots of people - I know for a fact that Donald Trump's bell is being rung, not only by Democrats in Cong

You have a day of optimism and hope, so much so that you can cheerfully say something designed to offend anyone! You are be-bopping along, hoping that others will accept your words as constructive criticism and adhere to the same high ideals you espouse. The old guard, the rigid authorities are not amused by any spark of individualism. Nevertheless, you persist, feeling in your gut that not all is as it seems. You are optimistically determined to get to the bottom of thin

Particularly for those with the Sun or planets in early degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Libra and Aquarius, the siren call of freedom may exert an extraordinary magnetism today. The freedom to turn your life inside out has t he sam intensity as a lineup of planets in Scorpio today - planets that involve your core identity, you intuition, your communication and your styyle of making relationships. Whew! That is a lot of planets! You feel the pull, the intensity, but may not be

Today is a day of contradictions. The moon is in sunny Libra - an emphasis on seeing the beauty in all things and on harmony. The sun is in deep-diving Scorpio, intense and looking for what is REALLY true. So you may feel pretty optimistic - but is your optimism based on true perceptions or are you seeing thing through rose colored glassed. Maybe you are ready to look at the world in colorized Cinemascope when it really resembles film noir. You may not WANT to see things t

Today is a mixed day. Relationships seem to respond well to a glamorous image and conformance to society's rules. But you chafe a bit. Maintaining the image is a bit of a strain, because it is hard to be content with the usual routine. You long for new horizons. Once again, you are wanting to have it all, but fear you cannot incorporate your new yearnings ad maintain the old structure of your life. Secrets and puzzles emerge with a little work. It's a bit of a challenge

Today sees us walking a tightrope between the needs of others and our own need for love and recognition. You can fully grasp the issue, and today you have the ear of the authorities in control on your side. Or at least, you know how to appear to win their approval. Seek love and joy in your creations by all means, and never forgot the need to have compassion for others in a broader sense. To be truly free, you need to grant the same freedom toward those you meet.

Today is a day of intense contradictions. You have one foot firmly planted in freedom, liberation and change while the other foot is just as firmly set with the authorities and rules you grew up with. Can you integrate your new desire to add something new, more edgy, more YOU into the Picture? Or is that too risky? Because the known and predicatable seems so much more practical? It is a conundrum, for sure. If you have recently plunged into the risky, the unknown, you m

Those born during the last ten days or so of the signLeo (or withLeo planets) are ready to play and allow themselves the freedom they need to create. They are ready to put that new freedom to use in a fun way and are emotionally grounded enough to do so. You want to act today, not wait. And you may feel quite optimistic about your actions. You may still be wondering if you can have the freedom, the liberty to pursue your passions, without losing your identity - what you hav

Don't you feel too smart for this? You can't put the genie back in the bottle. You are changing, and it isn't always readily obvious to others that you have an updated identity. So you have the challenge of developing new boundaries, new understandings of who you are. The Universe is on your side today. Intuitively, you feel optimistic. The experience you have gained over time and cosmic forces are combined to help you manage your image in a way that is consistent with t

Things are starting to come around. You may have steered your craft past your comfort zone, but you are beginning to get the hang of how things work in this new territory you are in. You are starting to establish a structure that supports you. Emotionally, it is a more experimental, spontaneous and playful day. You might be a bit more likely to take a risk than on other days. It is time to be yourself. You have earned it. Especially true for those born early in the signs
