HOROSCOPES

- by Rose Marcus

Mercury has just ended retrograde but will continue in Scorpio through the first week of December. Mars has just entered Scorpio and will continue in this sign through the start of next year. Keeping motivation going strong, both transits continue to keep us digging deeper for the gold. If you haven’t gotten a handle on it yet, you will soon enough.

The sun in Sagittariu­s, starting Friday, sets everything to do with the upcoming holidays into fuller swing. It’s likely to be quite a profitable weekend for businesses that cater to the season. Jump-start your holiday shopping or get your entertainm­ent fill however it suits you best. The moon in Scorpio marks Saturday night as the better pick for getting your sexy on.

Do you feel an emotional undercurre­nt building? Have a sense that there’s something in front of you that you can’t quite see but that you know is there? Mars is on a tension buildup with Uranus in Taurus through Sunday morning. It’s an edgy, excitable, unpredicta­ble, even volatile combinatio­n. Emotions, action, or reaction can come on sudden and strong. Saturday night’s sleep could be unsettled. Essential-services personnel should prepare for a busy night.

Mars in opposition to Uranus can bring the action to a breaking point or facilitate a breakthrou­gh. Venus conjunct Jupiter in Sagittariu­s adds volume and value, reward and/or cost.

Venus enters Capricorn Monday afternoon; Tuesday delivers a new moon in Sagittariu­s; and Neptune ends retrograde on Wednesday. These transits keep the week on a smooth rollout and set up a pleasant social backdrop for USA Thanksgivi­ng.

ARIES

March 20–April 20

Mars, freshly into Scorpio, will keep matters to do with finances, trust, and rebuild initiative­s on the front burner through January. Stress, uncertaint­y, and/or excitement escalates to Sunday’s full steam ahead. Mars hits a breaking point with Uranus; the Scorpio moon triggers the power play and emotional intensity; and Venus/Jupiter puts the money, the value, the newsworthy, and matters of heart into full swing.

TAURUS

April 20–May 21

You’ll now hit a much faster go, perhaps unexpected­ly so. This is due not only to Mercury being done with retrograde but Mars building toward a strike-flint trajectory with Uranus on Sunday. Anything goes. A breaking point can be reached; someone or something could cause you to react in some extreme way; the exceptiona­l could make your day. Venus/Jupiter makes it big, not small.

Monday/Tuesday moves along a smooth-running track.

Venus in Capricorn (starting Monday) helps you regain control, set better boundaries, and gain better results.

LIBRA

September 23–October 23

The workweek ends on a social and upbeat note. Saturday night through early Sunday, the moon in Scorpio could unleash an emotional flood. Venus/Jupiter put more of everything on the increase and the go. Mars/ Uranus can surprise you (or shock you) with something out of the blue. To the plus, it could produce a great brainstorm or breakthrou­gh. Monday/Tuesday, you’ll accomplish well.

SCORPIO

October 23–November 22

Freshly into your sign, Mars will tenant Scorpio through the beginning of next year. Building an opposition to Uranus to Sunday, and joined by Venus/Jupiter pumping it up, the start of this breakthrou­gh transit has quite a kick to it. Regarding a conversati­on, money matter, health issue, or important relationsh­ip, Saturday/Sunday can produce a game-changer moment. Monday/ Tuesday, keep it rolling well.

SAGITTARIU­S

November 22–December 21

The weekend sets you or it into action, perhaps in some overthe-top, take-flight, or go-the-distance way. It could be the game, the heat of the moment, a brainstorm, something new or completely out of the blue that overtakes you. There’s no way you can hold it back or back down. Take the ball and run with it!

CAPRICORN

December 21–January 20

An irresistib­le urge or obsession can get the better of you. A shakeit-up or spice-it-up could do the trick quite nicely this weekend.
