YOUR STARS

Flavour of the Times - The Scorpio new moon is the signature for November and with it comes deep, dark and intense energy. Its pagan and other-worldy overtones perfectly sets the scene for Halloween. I suspect that things such as the current complex political realities may come home to roost with a vengeance, with some strong consequences of decisions that have been taken in the period leading up to it. I guess with Guy Fawkes’ night upon us, conspiracies might involved...

SCORPIO

October 24 – November 22 Venus is accompanying the new moon in your sign this month. This could be about money, values or love and sex. Either way, it’s not at all trivial but of course that’s why you might even relish delving into it all. Alternatively, you might fear to tread in those footprints because you know that some deep emotions are being stirred. Perhaps now is the time to own up to what you feel deep down? SAGITTARIUS

November 23 – December 22 You might find it hard to just shake off difficult feelings and thoughts this month and for a while at least it will feel as if there is nowhere to hide or escape to. The lesson here is to accept that you may have to engage with things like some emotionally intense situations that you often prefer to run away from. Look them straight in the eye and be brave! CAPRICORN

December 23 – January 20 Getting to the nub of the problem is a good activity for this month. There is nothing superficial about Scorpio as a new moon, so don’t be afraid to dig deep to see what’s going on under the surface. It will probably explain a few things that have been confusing you and may surprisingly, be a relief, and not as bad as you feared. AQUARIUS

January 21 – February 19 This month could really challenge you, depending on how much you think you can just think your way out of difficult situations. November is a lot deeper and more emotional than that, so it’s a matter of feeling your way around in the dark and trusting to something other than your intelligence until you find something substantial to hang onto and guide you. But delicious too, eh?

PISCES

February 20 – March 20 Pisces is flighty but Scorpio is definitely not! Paradoxically, Pisceans tend to float with the currents of the moment so the big blast of intensity that this month threatens, may freak you out a bit. Whether you can keep paddling along on the surface or whether you get dragged down into the whirlpool will depend on how much you can learn to detach yourself. ARIES

March 21 – April 20 With Jupiter retreating out of your sign you may not be feeling all that positive. In fact your natural forward motion may feel impossible and set-backs everywhere. A feeling of things just generally falling apart will take some shaking off. All this may bring up deep stuff from the past that you thought you’d left behind, so try to take a step back to consider all this. TAURUS

April 21 – May 21 Sensuality – that’s the word that describes the flavour of this month for you Taureans. The new moon has your planet Venus next to it at the beginning of the month, suggesting all sorts of possibilities - for love or money, very likely. I’d love to see what happens on 8th when you will experience the full moon in your sign! Could be the last thing you’d expect, though! GEMINI

May 22 – June 21 Mars in your sign is still intent on chucking so much stuff at you that you hardly know which way to turn, but the intensity that this month brings will probably set your priorities straight for you. This is complicated by Neptune, the planet of delusion muddying the waters, so indecision is likely to rule. Not your month really but one to be negotiated, nonetheless.

THE ASTRO-GUIDE

CANCER

June 22 – July 23 Relationships are set to get deep and complicated this month. Not that this can’t be a bit of a sexy and emotionally juicy time as well, but the sensualities of the month may not serve you as well as you hoped, and they could leave you feeling hurt and let down. The only way out is in, as they say so try not to walk away from all this as there may be rewards waiting for you if you persist. LEO

July 24 – August 23 Deep emotional diving may not suit you but there really is no option this month. It’s as if the gems deep inside the cave are waiting for you but you have to go and get them and do the work. Let’s face it – you do tend to want things to come to you effortlessly, don’t you? The trouble is that this month they won’t and you will have to make the effort. VIRGO

August 24 – September 23 Emotions are messy aren’t they, Virgo? They tend to disturb the nicely organised world you prefer to live in, but every so often you do need to be reminded that not everyone lives like you and this is one of those times. You can’t organise yourself out of this one, but watery chaos now can be very instructive and teach you something much more profound. Follow it. LIBRA

September 24 – October 23 After last month, November is going to feel a bit alien to you. There’s not a lot of help out there for you to rely on and you may be thrown back on your own resources, something you are rather uncomfortable with because partnership is so important for you. It’s only temporary, of course, but it could feel lonely for a while.
