OCTOBER 2019 55
the Sun spend time in Scorpio. You may
have strong feelings about the direction
your life is taking. If you are unhappy
about what’s been happening, you
can review your priorities and recent
decisions to see if you should make
changes.
Saturn (your ruling planet) and Pluto
are guiding you through a personal
transformation. Saturn will be in your
sign until March 21, 2020, and then will
return briefly from July 1 to December
17, 2020, before settling into Aquarius
for a longer stay. Pluto will remain in
Capricorn until 2024. If you use this
time wisely, you can become a person of
considerable authority.
Power days: 1, 10, 15, 19, 20, 25, 28.
Goal for this month: Always meetdeadlines and be punctual.
AQUARIUS SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
Your life is rather hectic now, as
a variety of issues, large and small,
require your attention. You wish there
were more hours in the day, but you
have to get things done in the hours
that you have. Although you like to
be independent, this is one time when
you can ask for help. If your work or
business seems to be taking too much
time or effort, just look around and you
are likely to find willing helpers.
If you examine the calendar, you can
probably schedule at least some of your
activities to take place when you aren’t so
busy. Next month or even next year may be
a better time to do the activities that don’t
absolutely have to be done right now.
Avoid heavy lifting and other
physically strenuous jobs, especially on
October 7, 12, 13, 20, 21, and 27. You
could enjoy relaxing with supportive
friends and mentors on October 8, 16,
19, or 28. Keep the arrangements simple.
Power days: 1, 9, 15, 19, 23.
Goal for this month: Work on
relationships that you cherish.PISCES SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
Lovely Neptune, your ruling planet,
is retrograde in your sign, and Uranus
is retrograde in Taurus. Although this
need not cause serious problems, it can
slow your progress or bring delays.
Communication, computer issues, or
mail delivery may be affected. You may
feel burnt out or deeply tired. This is a
good time to focus on rest, meditation,
reading, and other quiet activities. You
really need to get away for a while, and
preferably by yourself. Avoid crowds of
all kinds. Stay away from bars, rowdy
clubs, busy malls, and other places
where people may become disruptive or
disorderly.
If your work, family obligations, or
business needs feel even more tedious or
overwhelming than usual, your body is
giving you a strong signal that you need
to slow your pace. Pay attention to your
instincts and gut feelings. Don’t waste
any time analyzing the situation. Pack a
small suitcase and go on a retreat. Even
just a day or weekend at a nearby spa or
resort can refresh your body, mind, and
spirit. You’ve earned a nice long rest!
Power days: 9, 13, 19, 20, 23, 28.
Goal for this month: You are
emotional by nature, which can add
stress to your life. You need to include
some form of relaxation, such as yoga,
music, reading or meditation, in your
daily schedule. P
