Yet another romantic monthly horoscope.
From the Practical Astrology mailing list (not posted on this link):
Love life alert! If your sun sign is Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, or Pisces, there is still eclipse-related love life energy in the air. This can potentially last all the way through the coming solar month. If you have been desperately hoping for love life news and haven't heard any, don't give up yet. Continue to keep yourself open to the possibilities, so you don't miss an exciting opportunity.
For some Taureans, the planetary emphasis on getting back to a peaceful routine will be complicated by the fact that they have fallen madly in love at some point during the last couple of months. We should all have such problems! For a smaller percentage of Taureans, this will be the month when the astrological gods of Unexpected Romance will visit in a happy way. If you happen to be one of these lucky Taureans, I in no way want to discourage you from using your non-work hours for making mad passionate love with the new object of your excited affections. In fact, if new romance is out of the question because you're still permanently ensconced in your old romance, I still don't want to discourage you from making mad passionate love with the object of your old affections. There are plenty of angles between the romance planets this month, giving you no excuse for ignoring your sensual side. All work and no sensual pleasure makes for a grumpy sign of Taurus and no one wants a grumpy Taurus. There's absolutely nothing wrong with showing up at work wearing a business suit and a contented glow. Fortunately, the planets agree this month, so enjoy.
Hi Scorpio! This month, I'm going to sound the last call for Jupiter bell. By the time the sun leaves your sign in November, Jupiter will as well. Therefore you've got another month or two of Jupiter power on your side, which can be deployed, if you choose, towards making some sense of your love life. Things have been a bit strange in that sector of late, perhaps, but you've still got time to make a big push to reach your goals in the romance, creativity, and child-related areas. Indeed, these concerns represent your most fruitful areas of focus this month, as the inner planets in Libra aren't going to do all that much to help you, slumbering as they are in your solar 12th house. Neptune and Pluto and Saturn haven't been of much use to Scorpios here lately either. So concentrate on the fun stuff while you've got the chance, and leave the dreary home, income, and career aspects out of the picture. When Jupiter enters Sagittarius at the end of the year, you can concentrate some efforts on bringing in more dough, but until then use your power for purposes of upping your enjoyment and pleasure in life.
Flipping over to her ThirdAge posts, here's one on eclipses:
Well, all of us–you and I and everyone else–are in the early stages of an approximately two year cycle designed to bring changes in some area of our lives. All of us are actually always in the midst of one eclipse cycle or another. It’s part of the cyclic nature of life. You can find out what area of your life is scheduled for change during this cycle by looking for your sun sign in the chart below:
Taurus and Scorpio: Changes in love and friendship, creativity and children
That’s a pretty incomplete list, but it will give you a rough idea. To me, it’s exciting that there is always at least one area of our lives targeted by the universe for growth.
Geological effects aside, one of the things that intrigues me about eclipse cycles in human affairs is that they illustrate the often seemingly backwards nature of the way the universe can work to improve our lives. They seem to work on a two steps backward, three steps forward principle. I vividly recall one eclipse series I went through in my financial houses in which at the beginning of the cycle my income went down, upsetting me greatly. By the end of the cycle, I had received a big unexpected windfall and was making more money than I ever had. During another eclipse cycle highlighting my love life, I endured a breakup at the beginning of the cycle. By the end I had a much better boyfriend. I’ve seen eclipses work with the same pattern (backwards then forwards) in other areas of my life.
