Because people move and change, relationships will come and go. The mature view is to take comfort in the fact that if we're living right, at some point, we will all become fond memories. This All Saints' Day under the moon of the heart will focus our love especially on the maternal ancestral line due to a trine of Jupiter and Chiron.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The best people to be around aren't the ones who nag you to be different; they are the ones who make you want to be better by modeling a different way of being.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes you're the apprentice, and sometimes you're the master. To help another person give life to their dreams is a gift to you as well, and vice versa. The roles are interchangeable and equal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What you learn today will light your way. Tomorrow will be better because of it. If there's some waiting around or a little stress, it's par for the course. Life is on track. Things are getting better.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Many appreciate what you do. Not everyone. The ones who get it really get it. Those are the ones you're aiming your best efforts toward. Keep company with those who uplift.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll solve the problem by thinking less and feeling more. Imagine yourself as a coral-like receptor, with the ocean flowing around and through you. As you move in response, how can it be anything but right?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are a few dynamics at play that are no longer ideal for you, to say the least. You can always make a change. That's an option you have; you just have to decide to take it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To have an awareness of your shadow side is a start. But to know that your shadow is actually just the flip side of the best that's in you is the golden ticket to success.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don't underestimate the detrimental impact of too much seriousness. A deficit of fun is a drain on vitality. It may not be noticeable at first, but letting the levels get too low puts all that's good in jeopardy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You won't forget your manners. You almost never do, and that is among the reasons you'll be chosen for today's task, which calls for someone who can be reliably polite.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are a few options on the table, one of which seems particularly appealing if not for the fact that it will take a very long time to realize. Don't let that deter you. The time will pass no matter what you're doing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Nothing develops a person quite like traveling. And you needn't go far. Even a visit inside the next-door neighbor's house will fortify you. The important part is that you learn about others. Ask questions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If silliness is a skill, it's an important one. People need silliness. It takes a certain amount of confidence to risk being seen as foolish. And it involves an instinct for guessing what will make the other person laugh.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 1). You've weathered storms of all sorts, and now it's time to revel in emotional sunshine. Not one to let life overwhelm you, you'll make an exception in matters of love. Developments in your personal life inspire special events, travel and the integration of other families and friend groups. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 3, 33, 28 and 50.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: A Scorpio reader asks: "Don't Scorpios get a bad rap with Halloween as their big holiday? A friend of mine had her cards read by a tarot card reader who said that the card most associated with Scorpio is the 'death' card. Isn't that taking it a bit too far? I'm not creepy or dark and gothic. Some people say I'm cheerful! Am I hiding my true nature or in denial?"
Neither. Western cultures attach such a negative connotation to death that it's hard to see symbols of death (including the "death" card in a tarot deck), as anything but a bad omen. I'm not saying that everyone should celebrate things to do with death, but there are cultures that do. The death card in the tarot deck represents transformation, death being the ultimate transformation. From the tiniest blade of grass to the biggest star, all things change into something other than what they are. Instead of thinking as Scorpio as the ruler of all things macabre, maybe it would help you to think of Scorpio as the agent of inevitable, natural and beautiful change.
