March 21 – April 20

Halloween could be an exciting night for you. Pick out a costume that expresses your dark side. You need to find more constructive and creative outlets for your aggressive urges. A Sagittarius is into role-playing with you all night — and into November! Then it’s time to pick another game.

April 21 – May 20

Put money worries aside for now, Taurus. You have always been good at living on less when circumstances demanded it. Barter services for goods just to put you back in touch with the “struggling artist” in you. Humility is your greatest asset right now. A Capricorn loves you for your body, not your money, honey.

May 21 – June 21

The moon will be close to Neptune on Halloween in your adventurous ninth house. Think about dressing up and taking on a whole new sexual persona with a Cancer. You have the power to reinvent yourself as a lover. Go for it!

June 22 – July 22

Venus finishes up a stint in your house of drama this week. You may get involved in a high school kind of experience with an immature but sexy person. Try to channel your youthful spirit into something slightly more productive. An Aquarius doesn’t scream as loud, but is certainly a much more subtle and satisfying lover.

July 23 – Aug.22

There’s no need to get all hot under the collar about a judgmental relative’s sniping comments. Take criticism as a catalyst, but don’t take it to heart. A lot of forces are forcing you to grow up fast. A Scorpio wants to lure you back into a magical world of make-believe.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Your ruler Mercury joins the Sun in your house of communication this week. You should definitely put ideas into words, put pen to paper, write those e-mails and press “send.” In other words, communicate, communicate, communicate! You are very tapped into culture right now, and should connect with stimulating thinkers. A Libra finds thinking about you very stimulating!

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

You need to get the concrete parts of your life together before you start worrying about the hypothetical. How is your money situation? It could be a lot better if you put some effort and energy into it. An Aries is an asset, not a liability, in your life.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

The Sun, Mercury, and Venus all in your sign this week will put you at the center of the action. Wear costumes (and not just on Halloween). You need to show the world just how multi-layered you are, honey. Another Scorpio wants to have an evening of multiple lays with you.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

An Aquarius could enter your life and turn it upside down around Halloween. Do not look a “gift whore” in the mouth, sweetie. Accept the good fortune that comes to you even if it messes up your schedule. Lust won’t wait.

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

The moon will be close to Neptune in your money house on Nov. 1. Do what you must to get your finances in order, and don’t take any big risks with money. A material purchase won’t fill an emotional need. Buy some time with another Capricorn instead.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

The moon close to Neptune in your sign on Halloween could make you afraid of the dark — yet drawn to it, too. Embrace and face your fears, darling. You are entering into a scary but fruitful period in your love life. Don’t resist change. A Pisces can’t resist you.

Feb. 19 – March 20

Magic is all around you, so don’t you dare sit home even one night this week. You should be the queen of the party circuit; get your outfits ready! A Cancer worships you. You need to get more comfortable on your throne, baby.
