Week of: 11/9-15
Aries : I promised you a break, and here it is. This week, you get a week-long break from drudgery and routine. Now, this can show up in life in a bunch of different ways, and not all of them are pleasant. For your sake, and mine, too, I hope that the break manifest itself a in polite way. And if you aren’t given a break this week, then consider taking one of those “personal” days that I hear about from corporate clients. Of course, here at FGS World HQ, everyday is a personal day.
Taurus : “Alas, poor Taurus, I knew ’em well….” Actually, it’s really not such a bad week, but with the major load of planets stacked up in Scorpio, you are feeling great opposition from small-minded people this week. Best thing to do? Nothing flippant or too hasty. That could back fire. Perhaps if you were to take a moment to slow down and properly assess the situation, you would find that things aren’t so tough. Best be a bit careful with that “relationship situation” that is developing, too. You might want to stop and look before you leap.
Gemini : Good Mr. Mercury, that mercurial planet most often associated with your sign, is making a hasty trip across the sky which opposite from your sign. Is this a good thing? It can be, but you need to hold your cards a little closer to yourself and try to develop a poker face. Before you get excited about a card game, let me explain that this a strange week to be playing poker at that big casino in the sky. Great wins are possible, but, as always, the odds are stacked in favor of the house. The good news is that you are better able to figure those odds right now.
Cancer : There’s one minor problem this week, and it looks like it’s work-related. Okay, so you don’t have a job? Part of the gainfully unemployed sector? Just call yourself a “consultant,” that’s what I do. Now, for the rest of the hardworking Cancers, your good attitude can get you in trouble with some persnickety boss who has a devoted and possibly maniacal devotion to detail. This person will try to upset your week by pointing to apparent flaws in your carefully constructed plans. To abuse a few of the Bard’s words, “imitate the actions of the Leo, and party on.”
Leo : Poor Leo! As long as all that stuff is over in the Scorpio corner of the sky, it does you no good. Well, actually, it does do some good, but you are going to feel like everyone is asking just a bit too much of you this week. Of course, being the good Leo that you are, you can take on this extra burden. However, being the good astrology fishing guide that I am, I’d warn you about taking on too much of this load this week. In fact, my best directive to you is to learn to say “no.” Folks are just going to be asking you to perform impossible feats this week, and you can practice answering in the negative.
Virgo : In case you were wondering, and I’m sure you weren’t, but I’m going to tell you anyway, the original symbol for Mars was the Spear and Shield of that old warrior dude hisself. So much for our weekly lesson in mythology and symbols. Mars is still a main man for you this week, as he traipses through your sign. As the good Virgo that you are, perhaps you need to pay more close attention to some details because during this week, Mars is going to opposite Jupiter. In other words, look out for Sagittarius folks coming along, especially ones with gifts in their hands. Of course, that’s a reference to another bit of mythology….
Libra : You’ve got one thing to look out for this week: rash. Now, most folks would figure that I mean rash actions, as prompted by Mars in Virgo, your solar 12th House. But there is another meaning for this, too, it could be a heat rash. I realize it’s kind of hard to imagine a heat rash in the cool fall weather, but there’s a definite chance that something rash could break out. Maybe it’s just the wool clothing you’ve gotten out to match the weather.
Scorpio : It’s a lovely week in Scorpio Land. In fact, this is a great week. Of course, being the good Scorpio that you are, you are bit worried about “stealth birthday parties” and looking at your chart for this week, this paranoia is well-deserved. There is a hot little romantic number lurking in your corner of the sky, so you had better look out. Use your innate Scorpio sense and make an effort to find out about your Stealth Birthday information, too. Then the biggest challenge will be to act surprised when the Universe delivers you a wonderful birthday gift.
Sagittarius : There’s one of those lovely management axioms about life, one that typifies this week, which I’m going to use for you: “Inside every little problem is major problem struggling to get out.” Some famous author once quoted that in a writing workshop. I’ve got it in my notes some place, if I could only find them. Of course, that’s the same little problem you’re having this week, the material is there. but you just can’t seem to find it. Don’t let the little problems become big problems this week.
Capricorn : Okay, my fine Capricorn friend, relax. No, don’t get too relaxed, but do take a little time off. Not too much time, because in the yonder distance you can hear the beck and call of one minor emergency after another. Of course, the key word here is “minor.” There’s a famous ballad sung Charlie Daniels about a miner who saves the day, “Big Bad John.” You don’t have to be like this character in the song, saving every one else but getting sacrificed yourself. As the expression goes, “Don’t go there.”
Aquarius : After weeks and weeks, nay, even years, of prolonged activity, it’s time to chill. Take a load off. Take your boots off. Put your feet up. Of course, this is a hard objective to accomplish in an office setting, but you get the idea. Or the picture. Perhaps a little judicious surfing, perhaps a little idle time spent wasting away with a People Magazine would be good right now. Enough of this high – blown lifestyle of yours. Relax this week and let some one else worry about the details. In fact, you might want to stay home for an extra “personal day” this week.
Pisces : What a wonderful, lovely time you’re having. Or you’re supposed to be having. What ever. There’s one little problem and it has to do with particular individual, you know the one. I mean, other than that one person, your whole life resembles a well-ordered tacklebox: all the right lures are in all the right places. Or they are supposed to be, this week. If that one person is still bothering you, take a break from the usual daily chores and tend to your own tacklebox. You ability to restore order will amaze that one person.
