Storytelling Moon
The story changes the experience. If the experience isn’t what you want it to be, maybe there are actions that could alter it, moving things in the environment, using different people, cutting ties, making new deals... but before you go drastic, the entertaining Leo moon suggests you change your story about it and go from there.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re really good at processing what’s offered to you. You do it quickly, based on priorities you’ve established and re-established along the way. But don’t go on automatic mode today. Something will need more attention.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The others came in at a different time, an earlier time, and they have the advantage of already knowing the space. Other than that, they don’t have anything extra that you don’t have. Don’t be intimidated. Go for it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Emotionally healthy people don’t often find themselves in the middle of drama. Though you’re a fan of excitement, you’ll take the peace of health over the cheap thrill of drama any ole’ day.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Trust, hope and passion. These are the things that you’ll be cultivating, building on and banking on in the weeks to come. See them as the important commodities they are.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Stars smile on your negotiations. Better arrangements can be hashed out with very little compromise because each party needs the same kind of change. How fortuitous!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s never “just business.” Business and finance are woven with emotional threads. It’s never “not personal” either, if it’s a person who is acting or a person who is affected. Today calls for extra sensitivity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What rituals are involved in your daily life that keep you on the path you want to be on? And what rituals take you off of the path? That second question may be a harder one to answer, but the answer is worth more than gold.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You care, and you believe. It will lead you to an exclusive and coveted position. It will help you understand what needs to happen next and why it matters.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Inactivity is not always the same thing as rest. Sometimes it’s just being stuck. Anyway, this is no day for it either way. Move. You’ll find the excellent route soon after you start walking.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People who have already decided are not very good candidates for hearing what’s new and exciting. It’s why you’ll put off a decision in favor of first hearing all that’s being offered.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a gift for putting yourself in the other person’s place and really understanding what it’s like to be there. That’s why you’ll sort out the conflict that others couldn’t seem to unravel.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are loyal by nature and it’s why you need to do more research up front to make sure you’re getting into a situation where you’re going to be loyal to the right people.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 3). A surprising turn of events happens this month. You’ll be mentored by one who sees your enormous potential and can help you realize it. More highlights: a spontaneous trip that leads to love, a bargain catered just to you and the chance to perform before your colleagues and raise your position. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 33, 38, 25 and 17.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I used to be so driven to succeed. All through my 20s and 30s (even in my teens!) I thought I was going to be someone special in my field of work. I had courage and kept moving forward. I caught a few good breaks and had some minor financial successes. But I feel that for the most part my colleagues have done so much better than me. Now I’m in my 40s and I don’t have much to show for my decades of drive. I still live paycheck to paycheck, with hardly any savings. And I’ve lost my confidence. The thing I keep thinking over and over in my head is, what is the point? Do you have any advice for a disheartened Virgo?”
I advise you to start writing your memoirs. Many people wait until their 60s to do this, but you should do it now because you are forgetting who you are. You’ve lost touch with the moxie that brought about your past victories, however modest you now believe them to be. In the swirl of a midlife crisis, the hardest thing for driven Virgo to remember is that happiness is not about getting what you want, it’s about wanting what you got.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Pop star, The Voice judge and designer galore Gwen Stefani exemplifies Libran artistry. With her sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus all in Libra, the two robust forces of her natal chart are relationships and art. With her personal life increasingly a source of intrigue, Stefani is likely to lean into her Neptune in Scorpio, to protect the privacy of those nearest and dearest to her.
