Q Scopes
We're entering a seriously challenging phase with a square between Saturn (in late Virgo) and Pluto (in early Capricorn). This week, the Sun entering Scorpio negotiates that square, offering insights in how to transform crisis into opportunity. Reach deep into yourself, and do your best to be compassionate. This can be a last chance to solve big problems before they move into a new stage.
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Your ability to analyze problems at work can help push you ahead, but your own personal charisma may be necessary to put you over. If the problems are starting at the top, subtlety rather than a brazen, direct approach will help.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Creative challenges of recent years hint at difficulty coming up at work. Lessons from one can be applied to the other. Your partner, or another close friend, has insight to help see what those challenges are.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20): Sex is about more than fun, games and technique, but what the heck! It doesn't hurt to focus on those details now and then, especially now. A change in your exercise routine could help!
CANCER (June 21- July 22): If you're having any problems at home, talk about them now! Solutions may be hard and difficult in coming. Be patient with that, but for now be satisfied with sharing information and getting better insights.
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Your current financial problems are only temporary. In the meantime, examine your priorities and look for changes at work that could make your efforts more effective. Right now a new look at household economy could save you a bundle.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Tough times are challenging your creativity. Be willing at least to explore, perhaps to embrace, ideas you wouldn't normally consider. Radical changes are in the air and you need to be ready to adapt.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): You're entering a period of great challenges and changes that will force you to reevaluate your identity vis-a-vis family and community. Be clear about your own core values, and ready to let go of superficial expressions or tokens of loyalty.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Your darker visions of the future may be exaggerated, but still contain valuable warnings. Discussing them with friends can help you get a more realistic perspective. As your vision will get darker, it's more important to keep those chats for realistic grounding.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Consolidate recent gains in your career. Focus your eye on economy and your resourcefulness will bring rewards. Heed your gut instincts, especially where danger is concerned. Nightmares may be exaggerated, but they're still informative.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Approaching a major career peak, you're about to find challenges – not just to your ambitions, but also to your very sense of self. Insights from good friends may seem harshly critical, but can prove very valuable.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Sexual frustration could be a key to deeper needs. You may want to consult with an authority, or focus instead on your career. Performance in the public sphere can enhance performance elsewhere.
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Solutions to relationship problems will soon crystallize and/or be solved in the bedroom. Consider carefully where you want to be with your partner in 20 years. A long talk about matters yet unsaid will help.
