Taurus: You don't mind change, just as long as it doesn't happen to you. Despite the fact that the Universe has gently being trying to change your mindset, ala Pisces in Uranus, you aren't willing to step out on that ledge just yet. As a result, you've experience a set of odd circumstances in the past year. Strange physical symptoms appeared out of blue, affecting your bones and your feet, give you grief, then disappear as mysteriously as they came. Its not all in your head as your doctor believes, but in your soul, as your inner self struggles with your physical self to pay attention to your spiritual needs.

Argh. Actually happening.

 Even those who have paid attention are a bit confused, because the spiritual journey is not like a trip to the beach, which has a beginning and end point. There is no beginning, there is no end, and life is exactly what you want to make of it. What do you want to make of it? In June Venus and Mars enters your sign, nudging you to put down some strong financial roots of your own. There is nothing wrong with seeking the spiritual through material means as long as you handle it correctly.

Scorpio's sounds like one long "nope, you don't get love after all" fest. How rotten is this?

Scorpio: In late February someone pops out of the blue and strikes a romantic spark in your heart, though duties and responsibilities keep you from immediately pursing this cutie. In March you find out you is one of pack that is pursuing this person, which only kicks up your competitive nature. In March, however, you find yourself separated from this person by either unusual circumstances or distance, and the hope of a lasting romance becomes a fond memory. If it is a move from your current locale, you find yourself in your new situation at odds with the people and the clime. In April you find yourself moving from place to place, and without a secure home base you feel very unsettled. In May, a younger person's actions set you on edge. You find yourself treading carefully the rest of year, but Scorpionic stealth and cunning carry your through. In June, money issues takes up most of your attention. Have you overspent, Scorpio? In July money issues settle down, but you find yourself having to put a younger person in their place. However by September, things should be worked out nicely. In December, Venus comes into your sign to point the way to a long lasting relationship.

Taurus (April 19- May 20)
Your ambitions are rarely kept secret.

LOLJen sez: O RLY?

This is one of the reasons why people may compare you to the rock of ages. You know what you want and you go for it.

Hahahahahahah NO.

Your ideals for what you desire are beginning to beg for a little reform. Perhaps you have come to a situation in which a deep change is demanded of you and you are hesitant to do it.

You have a big vision which you are now putting your mind to. It's an odd combination of old and new that will give your vision the strength to endure -- but you must be ready to let it take on a life of its own.

Scorpio (Oct. 23- Nov. 22)
The desire for peace is one way to deal with the shadow material inherent in the past. What is blocking your sense of safety and the feeling of belonging that you desire?

 Your suspicions are correct that something bigger than you had previously thought is going on. Whatever fears you experience can be looked at like stuck ideas that prefer to stay put and not grow. One way to battle this feeling is to become as aware of your surroundings as possible: seek out the old stories, talk to people who have known you for a long time -- they have endured for a reason and they may provide you with the clues you need to refine your sense of harmony with your environment.

I got a bunch of astro-books and want to do some reviews sometime when I'm not likely to be dragged off the computer soonish. Good stuff to come.

Anyhoo, mostly posting a quick one to comment on the Planet Waves weekly that just came in e-mail:

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
You must be impeccable about how you present yourself in professional situations. You could, at the moment, convince anyone that you have anything. Yet then you would have to demonstrate your skills and be seen for who you are. The point is this: at the moment, you believe in yourself, and you can see that you really do have a long-range plan that is finally starting to seem plausible, and like its time has arrived. Be bold about your intentions and your aspirations, and I don't suggest you hide them from people you look up to. You have credibility and an enormous wealth of goodwill to draw upon. Now is the time to trust yourself; you've waited long enough.

Hah. I dod not have ANY kind of plausible long-range plan. It's been bugging me for years that I can't figure one out! Fail!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
It looks to me like your mind is on fire, like you have so many ideas you will never get them all done.

Same old, same old...

 First slow down; there is a weird kind of illusion that you're under and it's pushing you to go faster than you need.

Also same old, same old. I like to call that illusion, "oh crap, I only have what, a month and a half?"

Second, try to think in some terms other than strictly linear. Look for one good idea and go with it: I mean the real gem. You may need to express some of your ideas on paper, so you can see what you've got to work with. It will be easier to evaluate them that way. Once you find the special pearl, many of your other concepts, plans and schemes will find a home. What you need is that one, very strong organizing principle to have some perspective. And you will.

Well, I will probably be working on that "on paper" thing around these parts as I plan for my talk.

"Scorpio—Other peoples’ nervous breakdowns set you on edge. When did you become your brother’s keeper? Surprise, Scorpio! The Universe is calling on you to perform service to your family and friends. You may wonder what makes you so special. I’ll tell you. Your innate strength makes you best suited right now to prop up some shaky situations. Consider it an honor that the Universe recognizes this in you."

God, that's how it goes every bloody year.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
From the look of your chart, I would reckon that some kind of spiritual earthquake is happening, pushing you to awaken to your belief either in some supernatural power or your own higher power. It's about time. Remember that just because you believe something does not make it right, including right for you. I suggest you go beyond belief and find that deep place of faith in yourself and in the world. When you do, you will see what was missing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
You are often cast as a person of deep sentiments and unusual passions. You are also a person of ideas, and that quality is about to take over your personality for the foreseeable future. It starts with a big splash over the next few weeks, where you seem to develop an obsession with solving a particular problem. You have the right idea. The trick will be keeping your credibility; or rather, building it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Top 6 reasons to leap off the end of the diving board, through the portal to 'The Land of No Return' and into the deep end, where you can no longer pretend to be able to touch the floor, but where life, though messier and less able to control, is totally real: (6) The worries of waiting and anticipating are far more crippling than actually doing the thing you fear to get started. (5) All the familiar doldrum traps on this 'safe' side of the portal will remain mind-numbingly exactly the same as they've been until you cross the threshold. (4) The increasing social pressures from friends, colleagues or like-minded individuals are beginning to become too much to resist. (3) Full disclosure, taking things to the logical extreme, not settling until it's all said and done, and other such 'Land of No Return' strategies will ultimately align you with your highest integrity. (2) Contrary to your reputation as slower than molasses in January, your patience with sitting on your hands has definitely worn very thin. (1) You can't avoid it forever. If you don't willingly step toward it, it will eventually find you—one way or the other.

Oh god, yes.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
You seem intent on protecting your purity in some way, while you may feel that others are equally intent on corrupting you. Isn't this fun? Could you see the situation working in the other direction, with you as the naughty influence? If you think in terms of an energy relationship, however, there is something else happening, which is that something in your life is trying to balance itself out. You can't live with your head under the covers forever, and you can't pretend you don't feel actual desire. It's not all someone else's doing and feeling; you exist in a relationship to the world, and it has a relationship to you. Instead of resisting, I suggest you listen. You will learn something, and by that I mean something useful.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
Yours is the original sign of dancing on the edge, flirting with the edge and ultimately, diving over. At the moment, Pluto (the modern ruler of your sign) is fractions of a degree from entering Capricorn till 2023-2024. This is likely to have you feeling like some enormous change is at hand, and that is the truth: it is. Yet Pluto in Capricorn represents such a long phase of history, and one so crucial to the human family, that it's impossible to separate your own evolutionary process from that of the world. You may indeed be one of the people called upon to participate in significant developments on our planet. If you were, would you respond? What personal goals would you be willing to give up? What changes would you be willing to make? And where would you see yourself fitting in, ideally? Here is a clue: you've been thinking about this for years.

Here.

"No one will really breathe before November 5, so don't be surprised if you find yourself gasping for air during the next seven days or feeling as if you are moving through molasses at the speed of light. We are in a hugely liminal state that for some is overwhelmingly intense. No matter who wins (and it's impossible to predict the outcome despite Obama's many point lead), the next seven days are going to be among the most passionate and purposeful days you have ever experienced. Just about everyone recognizes or has a sense of how significant the consequences of this election will be. It carries a multidimensional time signature that merges past, present, and future, for as individual choices coalesce into collective intention through the fulcrum of the voting booth, we not only choose the next president, we also set the course for Planet Earth.

Yes, I know I sound dramatic — I mean to. Because November 4, in addition to being Election Day in the United States, is also the first of five Saturn/Uranus oppositions over the coming two years — five contacts that will change the world. Saturn represents existing cultural structures, Uranus signifies the principle of revolution, oppositions symbolize tension, and the ensuing confrontation between these forces results in the failure of the status quo. A failure because, as necessary and stabilizing as Saturn may be, change is inexorable. It is the nature of things. And no matter how well-prepared for it we think we are, the one thing about this particular shift-signature is that it will surprise and challenge even the most fluid and flexible among us. Maybe not all of us on the same day, but sometime in the coming two years, most if not all of us will be humbled by waves of unstoppable transformation. Of course, we don't need astrology to tell us something's got to give. But astrology is a succinct way of talking about the complex forces at work in our culture, as well as our psyche, personal and collective.

For the last several weeks, this column has looked at the historical implications of Saturn/Uranus and also tried to point out groups of individuals who may be experiencing this first opposition quite keenly. For those of us who didn't feel the immediate shock or have yet to feel the aftershocks of the financial tumult or who aren't having this opposition triggering other volatile personal circumstances, the opposition will still have a dynamic impact. Whatever the particulars — a new friendship, a new romance, a divorce, or a decision to change your career — what will be at work in all our lives is an unstoppable creative urge to break free from any situation that enslaves, confines, or restricts. Use this power wisely. And when possible, respect the needs of others to be as absolutely free as thee."

Eeeeek. Man, I'm already tired of being scared.

Taurus: "Friends who share a common history have the potential to offer the guidance you are searching for. I'm not suggesting you follow another's advice. I'm simply advising you to listen closely to those who know you and love you."

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
Once again, you have the idea you want to take a chance, and the feeling that it's necessary to do so. You are making the commitment to yourself. I suggest you be explicitly clear about what that commitment is, in words and in feelings. Despite your deepening understanding of yourself, there seems to be an obstacle in the way. Is it a physical obstruction, or is it an idea? Is one mocking the other? I suggest you consider the conceptual level first. It is the easiest to work with and the one most likely to contain both the problem and the solution. If astrology means anything, the real issue involves faith. You seem to be stuck on the idea that the mighty cosmos is inert or unresponsive when it comes to providing you with what you need. I do know this feeling and I know how annoying it is.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
Whose approval do you need, and why do you need it? You seem to have a lot of ideas about what you must accomplish first in order to be acceptable to people who don't actually have much influence in your life. This is distracting attention you could be devoting to your friends. It's also blocking your view of how much you've achieved in the past two or three months, and from the fact that you do need a rest. I know a lot is happening in your world, but make sure you take some time in a space where you are totally alone and allow yourself to forget it all; and remember who you are on the deepest levels of reality. You may notice, once you get there, that there were many feelings you were dealing with temporarily, but not quite facing or processing. Now is the time, and your life will still be there a few hours later when you return to your other reality.

Huh. The Scorpios are instructed to NOT have sex this week or they will get an STD. OY. Taurus is perhaps even scarier this week, though not for that reason:

It's major decision time this week, so dig a little deeper than usual. This decision may change the rest of your life (or at least the rest of your summer), so try not to base your choice on fleeting factors, like six-packs and six-pack abs. Get a spine and make the grown-up choice, ya big wuss.
