From indoor plumbing to Wi-Fi, amenities that were once unimaginable are amazed but a short while before being relegated from the category of miraculous invention to one of common necessity. The trine of Venus and visionary Neptune favors innovation, which is made easier by those who take a step back to marvel at modern life.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Take a moment to assess whose problem you’re worrying about. Do you have control over the outcome? If not, it’s not your problem. Focus on what is most helpful, relevant and in your jurisdiction.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Mahatma Gandhi suggested, “To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.” If this is the case, you’ll do more today than would ten thousand bowed heads.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your priorities are different than they’ve been in recent times. These are just the first signs that a larger shift is coming. You’ll love the new you you’re so mindfully creating.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Question authority, even your own, and especially when you’re directing it toward yourself. Is your inner boss using an appropriate tone? Is it helpful, constructive and kind? Take any and all issues up with the HR department.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In all things, make your intentions clear and avoid setting up expectations you can’t or won’t want to fulfill. It’s better to do little and promise nothing than to get mixed up in something that will make next week stressful.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A pep talk in the mirror might seem like overkill on an average day, but this is no average day. Once you convince yourself of what you have to give, you’ll give a little something to each person you meet.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The first rule to improving self-control is removing temptation. To expect yourself to dance around the very thing you’re trying to abstain from is somewhere between silly and cruel. Either way, it’s ill-advised today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This day has potential to count big-time toward your goal. How are you monitoring your progress? Decide early on so you can check in on your results a few times during the course of this highly productive 24-hour period.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Did you share too much? Well, it’s done, so it doesn’t matter except in that it might inspire new rules for the future. Just remember that vulnerability typically brings people together, so chances are, you’re closer now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Seems you’ll have to break some norms to do what you want to do. It feels less risky when you already have people around you who support who you really are. It’s a good day to ask, “Who’s on my team?”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your superpower today is the ability to read the room. You’ll look around and assess what people are thinking, feeling and wanting, and you’ll use this information to get your best possible outcome.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). New and challenging circumstances have a way of inciting unhelpful mental chatter. This is what Buddhists call “monkey mind.” For clarity, subdue the noise with deep breathing while you calmly observe the scene.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 20). Paradoxically, by editing your routines, possessions and ambitions down to heartfelt essentials, life gets amplified. This is the most vibrant you! You’ll meet a fun challenge that’s perfect for you, and gain recognition and reward. A sense of belonging and harmonious relationships will be the treasures of 2020. Leo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 18, 33, 27 and 41.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Music is powerful. When a beat is laid down, the mind and body start to keep track of it, counting without realizing, feeling without a verbal narrative, moving involuntarily. Use the wonder of music to your advantage these final days of the harmonious Libran sun. There are so many options to try. For instance, have you ever worked with binary beats? It’s worth a YouTube search. These are rhythms scientifically calibrated to have different effects on the brain. There are tracks arranged to induce a calm state, others tracks meant to invigorate (some say this works as well as caffeine but without the jitters). There’s music to help you exercise more vigorously, love more soulfully, worship more enthusiastically, grieve more effectively and even music to make you learn faster. Fortune favors a deep dive into music in the early week.
The Scorpio solar journey begins Wednesday by honing in on areas of complacency, especially in relationships. While it’s nice when people get along, have similar sensibilities and can come to a general consensus, there’s also such a thing as too much agreement. When the whole group agrees, one has to wonder if it’s because individuals are afraid to disagree. Is dissent being punished in some way? Or is one person doing all thinking?
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Whether the Amazon producers knew it or not, the upcoming release of the second season of “Jack Ryan” within two weeks of John Krasinski’s solar return is some business astrology. Sun and moon in Libra indicate that Krasinski, who is one-half of the internet’s favorite couple, is a romantic who operates at his best while in a supportive relationship. Mercury, Venus and Uranus in Scorpio signals passion and intuition.
