Many of the trends of the past few months are still in effect. Most of the planets are still in the Western, social sector (and since last month in their maximum Western direction), and most are also above the horizon. Thus you still need to be cultivating your social graces and attaining your goals through co-operation with others. Career is important – more important than home and family matters now. Retrograde activity lessens this month as Neptune starts moving forward on the 11th.

Your health still needs attention, especially until the 22nd. Enhance it in the ways mentioned last month, and also through more attention to the kidneys and hips until the 22nd and to the colon, bladder and sexual organs afterwards. If there are health problems love issues are probably behind them. Do your best to restore harmony here as much as possible (it won’t be easy). Detox regimes are powerful from the 22nd onwards too.

There is more socializing with the family and from home these days, ever since your family planet moved into your 7th house on October 23. Old flames could be coming into the picture too.

There are two eclipses this month: a solar eclipse on the 13th and a lunar eclipse on the 28th. The solar eclipse seems to strongly affect you, so reduce your schedule around that time, and avoid risk-taking activities. The solar eclipse occurs in your 7th house of love and marriage, so the testing that we have been seeing all year is intensified even further. Tensions that have been building all year now come to a climax and much pent-up emotion is released. In many cases this indicates a breakup. Relationships that survived the past year and survive this eclipse will probably last forever.

There are dramas in the lives of friends and family members too. If there are problems in the home – hidden flaws – they reveal themselves now so that you can take corrective actions. Family members are more temperamental now, so be more patient.

The lunar eclipse of the 28th occurs in your money house and signals important financial changes and shifts. You need a new strategy and the eclipse will lead you to it. This eclipse – like every lunar eclipse – tests cars and communication equipment. Often they need replacement.

Your career planet Uranus starts to move forward on the 13th. Most of the planets are above the horizon (and also moving forward), and in a month you will enter a yearly career peak. Your caution in career matters is paying off now. You have mental clarity, a clear plan, direction, and plenty of gas in the tank to take you where you want to go. From the 16th to the 27th Venus, the ruler of your Horoscope, makes very wonderful aspects to your career planet, so there is success happening – and perhaps even promotion: you are getting on well with bosses and authority figures in this period. Sometimes the planets don’t bring an actual, literal promotion, but things happen that promote you in subtle ways on the inner planes. In due course you will see the ‘official’ side of it.

Mars, your spiritual planet, crosses your Mid-heaven on the 26th and will be there for the rest of the month and well into the next. This shows that you can enhance your career by getting involved in charitable and altruistic activities, which will help you make good connections and ‘burnish’ your image

Health is good and will get even better after the 21st. You can enhance your health even further through detoxing, giving more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs (until the 16th), and to the liver and thighs after that date.

Love is still very complicated, but you seem to be trying very hard. You are going out of your way to please friends and the beloved. Yes, you are more popular, but how lasting is all of this?

Most of the planets are still in the West and your financial planet is in your 7th house until the 11th. This means your fortune comes through others and their good graces and not so much from being such a smart business person. This is especially so in finance. Your affability and social connections open many doors now. There are opportunities for business partnerships or joint ventures until the 11th (these could have come last month too). You are still in a cycle for prospering with other people’s money – outside money – through borrowing, creative financing or attracting investors to your ideas. This has been the case for many months, but this month even more. As long as you focus on the financial interests of others ahead of your own, prosperity will happen.

Your 9th house is strong after the 21st. For many of you this is a more religious period, with religious and philosophical breakthroughs. For others this shows the lure of foreign lands; there are happy travel opportunities. Students seem successful in school.
