Your Weekly Overview October 24th – October 30th:

An air of mystery and a measure of control—there’s something so powerfully seductive about those qualities now. From Monday, October 24 until November 12, expressive Mercury may hit the mute button as he joins the Sun in tight-lipped Scorpio. But let us not forget: Words are not the only way to get a point across. For the next few weeks, it’s the pregnant pause, the flashing gaze, or the heat of body language that will speak volumes. And are you prepared to pass that loyalty test? Trust is a must with Mercury in this somewhat suspicious position…but don’t expect anyone to extend the benefit of the doubt. We’ll have to show and prove and pledge our allegiance if we want the keys to the kingdom. If it’s worth it, work it!

The workweek wraps on a fiery note as combustible Mars and radical Uranus crash into a complicated square (90-degree angle). Tempers may flare as egos and ideologies duke it out on the world stage. With polarizing presidential politics getting more and more insane, think carefully before opening a can of worms in a professional environment. With Mars in corporate Capricorn and Uranus in militant Aries, a discussion about candidates could be crushing to an important deal—as could be overly personal revelations or “locker room talk.” There’s a time and place for everything. If you tout your beliefs in an appropriate forum, this transit can inspire some eye-opening dialogues.

Cupid is getting serious on Saturday as romantic, artistic Venus snuggles up to stable Saturn in Sagittarius. Love for the long-term? This soul-baring cosmic confab can inspire some no-holds-barred discussions about the future. A romantic attraction, alas, is not enough to power the mill. Saturn calls for shared values, common goals and a compatible future trajectory. On a more mundane note, how strong is your Halloween costume game? Aesthetic Venus and architectural Saturn may add some sartorial steam to your vision. What can you do with chicken wire, paper mache, LED lights, feathers…or maybe a revamped thrift store piece? The gauntlet’s been thrown down, and Saturday’s crafting could take our 2016 masquerades to an otherworldly level!

Sunday’s new moon in Scorpio could be absolutely alchemical. Want to turn a leaden aspect of your life into pure, shimmering gold? Get the ball rolling on those transformational efforts. Real change takes work—it never just happens overnight. But this is a NEW moon, so it’s all about jumping off the starting block. We have until May 10, 2017—the date of the full moon in Scorpio—to break out of restrictive habits and replace them with rituals that give us life. And with this new moon sitting at a close degree to strategic Mercury, operating from a clear-cut plan is the way to win. Mercury is also a social butterfly, so forget about struggling alone to make change. Join a support group, online and in real time, to champion each other’s rise from the ashes!
