YOUR ASTRO COCKTAIL- WEEK OF OCTOBER 12, 2010

This may seem like a "mousey brown" week right from the get go. Serious minded Saturn meets up with Mercury lending to situations that require structured thought and no nonsense attitudes. Mid week the Moon goes in to the sign of Capricorn and that sets off another play between Saturn and Mercury once again putting a damper on things as some of us must now deal with authority figures and power monger, bossy bullies. Is there any hope this week or should we all just go back to bed and hibernate until next week? Go back to bed. Once the Moon moves out of Capricorn it will enter the sign of Aquarius and that will square off with both Mars and retrograde Venus both traveling through the sign of Scorpio. Stubborn attitudes and lovers quarrels along with financial upsets are all possible. Hey-Don't shoot the messenger. I only report the Astro News. You have to take the good with the bad. Use the creepy energy of this week to your advantage by tackling b******* that you have let go and wrap up loose ends. If you fight or argue with someone you can make up with them next week when you have a nice Full Moon to work with which helps conclude things that need resolve.

For a top shelf blend of some cosmic advice also read your rising sign if you know what it is. Remember that the stars and planets are there to be our designated emotional drivers when we need to find our way through life.



Even though you are hurt by a certain situation make sure that you don't top it off with feelings of anger. No doubt that you have been through the ringer over the past few months but I assure you that you are coming to the end of a problem. Get your last few digs in and then make it a point to move forward. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Seven of Cups advising you to let go of unrealistic attitudes and getting stuck in the "what could have been." Time to move forward.


You will have the opportunity to find out who your friends really are this week. With your ruling planet,Venus now in retrograde you will be inclined to review a recent situation and see more clearly what is up. Play your cards close and keep a watchful eye on things because an opportunist will be exposed giving you the confirmation that you need to move forward. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Ace of Cups (reversed) showing change,alteration ,erosion and instability in a relationship. Inconsistency is the main cause of discontent.


Intrigued yet? Someone may be bending over backwards trying to get your attention. You have been so caught up in your day to day activities that you may not have noticed that you are being sought after. Who knows? Maybe it is the butcher, the backer or even the book maker ( triple 9's for me if you please). In any case the Venus retrograde may be bringing you back the opportunity to be in the lime light this week. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Two of Wands (reversed) advising you to use restraints before making an important decision. Careful that achievements don't turn out to be ultimately unrewarding.


This may be a tough week emotionally for you because of all of the planetary things going on like Saturn and the Sun both squaring off with you and Pluto opposing you. Duck under the covers this week and remember: Things don't happen to us but rather we let things happen to us. Stop being a soft touch and don't allow others to call the shots for you. Being in control is sexy so start cracking the whip. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Judgment Card (reversed) letting you know that delays are frustrating but remember that everything is in Divine order. Procrastination isn't a good idea right now because someone feels like you have alienated affection toward them. Make the first move and offer the olive branch and then go stir a Martini with it.


Here there and everywhere seems to be your theme this week. With so much on your mind make sure that you don't put yourself on overload. There is nothing worse than a burned out babe that is working strictly on auto pilot. Even though Mars in Scorpio is telling you to go,go,go, retrograde Venus is saying "Later 'cause I have a headache. Contemplate your moves before signing off on any important financial decisions. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Seven of Wands showing that success is finally ready to take over because you have overcome obstacles and challenges. Surmounting overwhelming odds works to your advantage in bringing about victory and successful negotiations. Keep an eagle eye on the financial fine print.


Have you been really busy lately or has it been that you may have crossed that perfect Virgo line and possibly wound up taking a walk on the wild side called disorganization? Important papers need your attention and the people who have been waiting for your return calls may now be getting ready to send out a search and rescue for you. Paperwork sucks but it still need to get done. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Page of Pentacles (reversed) telling you to get back to your priorities and stop letting a rebellious, illogically thinking person distract you. Time to get back to the "real world."


If you are trying to figure out what a certain someone is thinking you first have to put yourself in their place. Your Libra scales need balance and seeing a situation from both sides gives you a better perspective as to what is going on. Someone around you may be having financial difficulties and could wind up asking you for a loan. Never lend out more than you care to lose. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Page of Swords letting you know that your perception is right on target concerning a certain situation. Someone is watching and waiting to see if you "blink" first ( only if your contacts are bothering you-Right?)


The truth always wins out. A recent misunderstanding may soon be resolved once all the facts are on the table. A business deal looks good but the financial package needs to be put on steroids. Don't settle for less than what you want or deals that promise to pay out down the road. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Moon (reversed) pointing to a minor deception so you can take care of it before any damage is done. Pay attention to who is trying to take advantage of you. They are sure to make a mistake.


You are blessed to have such good friends to talk with but there are some things that you should keep to yourself. A recent "blip" in a personal relationship is better off not being broadcast to the birds on the wire. Someone's sympathetic opinion may wind up offending you once the dust settles. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Nine of Swords showing some concern over a quarrel. Anxiety doesn't look good on you so stop frowning and losing sleep over something that has an eventual resolve.


All work and no play makes Capricorn very happy on pay day but it does nothing for your social life. Time to get out and have a little fun and also stimulate the economy by spending some cash on yourself. Don't create an imbalance in you life by getting stuck in old, rigid patterns and stop taking on the work load of others. You're spoiling them. Your splash of tarot for the week is the High Priestess (reversed) advising you not to be shortsighted. Acceptance of superficial knowledge is not your "bag" so ask questions if you don't like what you are being told.


Don't let any recent aggravation with a partner cause you grief. Sometimes it is better to walk away from a situation rather then stand there and argue with an a******. If the "same old same old" keeps repeating itself like a bad burrito then get to the root of the problem once and for all and then move on. Don't be swayed by guilt. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Knight of Cups (reversed) alerting you to a subtle, tricky, deceptive fraud, sly and cunning person who may be trying to swindle you. ( Sounds like it describes everyone's "ex" )


I know that it is a Venus retrograde but if financial and romantic decisions are called for than take your time and weigh out all possibilities before committing to anything. You might be surprised to see an unexpected boost in your popularity as everyone now seeks you out. Someone who has been playing the waiting game with you will soon find out that you are the one to call the shots. There is nothing like a window of opportunity to let you really see how timing is everything. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Queen of Swords (reversed) telling you that a narrow-minded bitchy type may try to hide some pertinent information from you. Don't let a jealous person undermine your plans.
