HOROSCOPE
The Dealer Moon Life will start like a card game today. At the beginning, all the cards are shuffled into a terrible mess. Then each person is dealt his or her own little part of the mess, and throughout the game the players sort it into as best an order as they can. The Virgo moon of order, analyzation and calculation will be a most cordial dealer.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are so many explanations of things that are crude, mean and unintelligible that when you land on an explanation that is simple, clear and enchanting it will not only answer a question; it will begin a path.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You pretty much learned the thing: took the test; got the grade. Now what’s the next step? Knowledge on its own isn’t worth much unless you can put it to good use.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your life will be better because you strive to live as fully as you can in the current so-called reality without taking it so seriously as to believe it to be the only reality there is.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t be able to plan the exact action steps that will take you where you want to go, because you won’t know them until you’re already in action. Move and suddenly the next move (and the next and the next) becomes logical.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The thing you most need to do today is probably the same thing you’d like to avoid because it’s either uncomfortable or risky or it could lead to a rejection. Do it first so you can get it over with and be proud of yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While you’re usually destination-oriented, in regard to today’s journey you set out to travel both everywhere and nowhere as you find there is so much knowledge and wisdom to gather within a small circle.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Which way would you take this if money were no object? That’s the way you need to move it today, as a few things are likely to happen. First, it won’t cost as much as you thought. Second, benefactors will volunteer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Finish what’s on your list, celebrate and then rest. The celebration doesn’t have to be anything big; a small ritual will do. Don’t skip that part, because it’s as important to the cycle as work or rest.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are many forms of self-sabotage to be alert to and to stamp out before they have a chance to foul you. For instance, starting too many projects at once is a form of procrastination, as it delays the completion of all goals.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today you’ll get valuable external feedback and you’ll have the chance to make a course correction that leads to spiritual riches. This is the kind of wealth that can never be taken away.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Once again it’s time to veer off of what you’ve been taught. This isn’t disobedience so much as an expression of your individuality. You can’t leave your footprint on this earth if you walk in another person’s tracks.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want to grow quickly through an awkward beginning stage of learning. In this way you’re like a child trying to act older than his or her years. There’s no pressure to do too much too fast. Savor the innocence.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 26). No matter how thoroughly you plan it out, your year will be dotted by exhilarating and unpredictable circumstances. Next month something lovely, shiny and new will replace what breaks. Love will inspire your creativity and stimulate your desire for personal accomplishment. Bonus money in February and August. Sagittarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 4, 30, 15 and 50.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I’m a Pisces born March 11, 1964, in New Orleans. I lost my husband five years ago. He was a Cancer. I’m currently in love with another Cancer. It seems every major relationship in my life has been with a Cancer. (And oddly enough, these Cancers have had serious relationships with a Pisces!) Will my current boyfriend marry me? Should I marry him if he asks? We’ve been dating almost two years, but he’s never been married. And he has yet to even mention the word marriage, even though he says he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. My husband asked me to marry him on our first date! These two Cancer men seem to be exact opposites when it comes to commitment.”
They’re not so opposite. Both made a serious commitment to you. The big issue you are facing with your boyfriend may not be marriage so much as cohabitation. Sharing a home is a big deal for middle-aged Cancer bachelors. Unless you are religiously opposed to moving in together, my advice is to suggest this to your boyfriend as a next step. If you live well together for one year (and I can’t see why you wouldn’t) then your boyfriend will have no resistance to the idea of getting married.
