​This month seems about trying to make decisions.

Masks have been with us all along.

The Druids, the Greeks, the native people of every country use them to be someone else for a while. Every profession has a language that validates the perceptions they perceive to enhance the dialogue.

We tend to retreat when we can’t decide.

Moods make us love and hate what is uncomfortable, but also create new hats to make us laugh.

Changing our inner monologue is a great achievement. It leads to being able to make a choice.

​So much activity, even for you is agitating. Luckily your home front is actually more comforting than last month. The full moon on the 5th is also an eclipse. Your unconscious need to expand your insight is very promising. Your ruler, close to earth and dancing backward is about finding cash and self-worth. Prance in the moonlight

It is the Taurean time to understand Uranus. The lightning bolts may be made of cactus rather than peonies but as flowers are your greatest love, you can use the power of prickly things. Illumination revelation, two words for Uranus.

The world is dreaming more than ever before with this unaccustomed isolation and confusion. Those dreams can point us to the power of sustaining the necessary. Choose this time to observe your intuition.

With this planet, the truth is the only choice, but how you express it is key.

And about anger, here is something to ponder:

Your ruler is being a bit of a trickster. You need to grow eyes at the back of your head. Opportunity for unusual ways to satisfy your need for security. To release some energy you may have some altercations, this will remind you of the discipline and consistency that you are so good at.

In Memory of my friend Judy Drucker, Impresaria.The angels new companion.

Music is the magic that transports us to another dimension. Like the poem “If”, If you can dream, and not make dreams your master; then to “hold on” is a snap.

The essence of truth is feeling with logic. We feel melody and beat and harmony and the hearing brings levity and light.

There are approximately 100 musicians in a symphony orchestra. Wind, string, brass and percussion are the categories. There could be a correlation to the elements, air, water, fire and earth.

As a fire sign, which brass instrument appeals to you? Saxophone, French Horn, trumpet, or cornet? The timber of metal is inspiring. You will be the puppet master. The old rules are dissolving and the needs of many will be there for you to orchestrate. Listen intently.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and is associated with unconditional selfless love.

Charity’s definition is Christian love of ones fellows. The word comes from caritas (dear one) and before that, the Greek agape. Agape is used as a form of affection but also as the most selfless love of others. How can we resolve the individual entitlement of today’s barrage of information with this concept?

It is true we must have self-love to give love away to others, and we practice prayer, meditation, yoga, hypnosis, LSD therapy to attempt self-love. Freud may have invented individualism but the USA popularized it. The love of celebrities are our gods. A celebrity may offer skin care advice, health advice, political advice and financial advice. This is indeed a different situation than the Gods of any era may have subscribed to.

Facts are an illusion you appreciate. Gut instincts are more to your liking. Seek out folk dancing, choral practice, or tag team bungee jumping. You may be a sign of endings but without you, there are no beginnings. Keep everybody off kilter and jolly. Whom do you admire, the Kardashians or Molière?

Is all the drama about the fear we have of not understanding? The world stage is filled with a negativity of everything. The earth is dying, the politicians and CEOs are going to combust. Our health is being ruined by all sorts of chemical and organic waste. Our devices tell us every variable that cannot possibly be in existence at once.

No wonder many embrace the mantra of nothingness.

But we still love light, beauty and knowledge. We will prevail as we are reckless creatures, with a soul. The first step in Native American belief is “to learn to be alone.”

Their mandalas often feature birds of prey.

Be here now. Ram Dass coined a reliable mantra. The only constant is change. More than most, you feel this. You duck and weave with talent. Sensing the brain as the servant to the heart. Entitlement is not for you, even if you think so. Be with groups, but don’t follow them.

You move like lightning but dislike drizzle. The major planetary activity is sitting in a pool of murkiness. As intellectual clarity is your life purpose, you are left with exploring the vagaries of mayhems. Your castle needs TLC. Make sure electricity is grounded. There is pleasure in minutiae.

Belief vs safety. We are seemingly being watched endless because we need to feel safe. Is this an illusion? Believing in safety is similar to believing in fate. It doesn’t really make sense.

Nevertheless with the amount of cameras and face recognition, “1984” is in the world today.
Was “The Prince” correct? Is it better to be feared than loved?

There are two ways of fighting: by law or by force. The law is open to interpretation and perhaps a checkbook. Force can be subtle, as in spying.

As a ruler you are in your element. Hopefully a benevolent one. Believe in your gifts. It is so easy to disregard them. Many find it hard to complement or say they appreciate you, but know, that they do. The physical body will erupt if you can’t believe. Nurture your skin, knees and teeth.

It is the season of the witch and warlock. Where is the wise man? The shaman takes pain away.

What is the strength of the wise woman? Is it about, after a certain age, the insight that has been collected has less passion for experiment? How often do we hear that, we must stay engaged? The energy of others gives and takes away, any control we might care about. Death can devastate those left behind. It is a karmic completion. After years of acceptance we can be aware of something special that comes in the void. Halloween, Samhain is the time to remember acceptance. The cosmic rays and invisible atoms and particles will eventually provide us with reconnections.

Invite those who are in another realm to visit. Make sure the malevolent stay away. Decisions must be made. You are the transformer. The need to desire has enhanced your compassion. Examine your thought patterns. See Vivian Leigh in “Gone with the Wind”. A very fine Scorpio. Be aware and remember “change” is imminent. If you let it, self examination is your most powerful weapon.

Truth is a slippery, silly, and illusionary concept. It can only ever be evaluated by a moment in time that influences the collective. The feather tips the scales, and lies are hurtful. The concept of voting has consistency and many variables, we all need to feel we have some control.

History has shown us how many variables there are to the powers that be. Saturn ate his children. Richard the Third may or may not have killed the princes in the tower, but Shakespeare needed to keep Elizabeth the First happy.

Purpose on the other hand is magnificent. And the passion of purpose is the best. We can always justify our version of the truth. The trick is in remembering it.

Astrologers often say Venus rules self worth. In Roman days, the currency was libras. Balancing the scales is elusive. How much is your self worth, worth? Decisions are a commitment. If a train is coming at you, you move off the track. Your hearth is being attacked. Reassess where and how you live. You can always change your mind...

Mercury, the Trickster is the God of the moment. He poses dilemmas and answers questions with questions. He is trying to equate or tame Uranus, the God of evolving communications.

How to equate fear and freedom? Are we better protected? We live in a time of escalated rules and suspicion. Supposedly to protect our freedom. As our collective communication is filled with polarizing points of view, it is almost impossible to not feel paranoid. As the tv show “Person of Interest” displays, we are being watched and analyzed in greater and greater measure. We denigrate the process in other cultures, Sharia, Islamic law of retribution, or Chinese reproduction rules. CCTV is everywhere in Great Britain. It would seem that this rolling wave of too much information is suffocating.

Nerves can be smoothed over by talking. Be sure and find time to listen too. Do not try to figure everything out. The merry-go-round is a lovely analogy of the nonsensical that is a constant. Believe there will be solutions to what is seemingly a morass of murkiness. The focus is on you, enjoy it!
