Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):
With the outer planets and Mercury going retrograde, your life may seem like a slow-motion movie montage. Are people from your past suddenly coming back into your life? Perhaps life has felt overwhelming, and you crave more time for projects or more certainty in your career. Despite our best efforts, we can't control everything, especially the timing of life's turning points. Doesn't it give us some relief to know there are forces of nature operating on our behalf? Magic exists in the unknown variables. Lean into uncertainty to find it there.
With the Sun in mercurial Virgo until September 22, life feels more like a quirky comedy than a soap opera. Find humor in strange encounters and revel in novelties. Mars in peace-loving Libra tempers your inner fire, making conflicts seem less attractive. Use your powers of perception to negotiate instead of debate.
Virgo is a sign related to service, fueling your inner urge to contribute. This influence encourages reflection on how you can focus your talents and gifts. With an open mind, consider fresh possibilities. With several trine aspects in earth signs mid-month, you can ground your desires into action steps. It's a fertile time, especially the New Moon on September 14. Communication is a keyword with Mercury retrograde until September 15.
The equinox on September 22 helps you prepare for a new season. As the Sun moves through Libra at the end of the month, you are letting go of anything you don't want to bring into your next solar year. Celebrate your successes – any moment that filled you with joy, made you feel alive or left you with deep satisfaction. Create time for daydreaming and begin imagining possibilities.
