Horoscope for Week of November 16, 2009

Venus, the planet of love, moves into passionate Scorpio and squares expansive Jupiter.  We are in a dizzy mindset this week. Who knows what can happen? Dreams of love and fame may wind up on the cutting room floor or on the front pages. Wish upon a star but be careful of what you wish; Melodious can turn malodorous the morning after.

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Want to see how quickly a cheese or beef cake transforms into toast? Just wait and see what happens as you pursue your heart’s desire this week. Choose well lit bars, Ram, so you can clearly see who cruises by. Even then, scratch below the surface before you buy that first drink. You want to experience fireworks but do it with a rocket and not with a nickel firecracker.

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Bulls seem to be are keeping score with partners this week. Some of you may wonder if you are receiving as much as you are giving. (You may not think so now, but let the dander settle a bit before you let the fur fly.) Some of you may take a trip to the moon on gossamer wings, but be sure that the planets don’t deliver you just one of those crazy things.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
The temptation is to go overboard this week in any routine task. Variety may be the spice of life but avoid the urge to experiment now. Twins are usually fairly moderate but now the pull of the extreme will lead you close to the edge, even at work. You ache to take unnecessary risks but streaking through the office should not be one of them. It is chilly November, after all.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Fun can get totally out of control this week. So look before you leap. Crabs should temper their intake of alcohol or any other addictive additives. The landscape can shift and lead you astry. However, for those romantic souls who wear their hearts on their sleeves, a good forward pass can zero in on an appreciative receiver. Ah, but how far can you touch down?

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Lions are anxious to mend bridges with family. You have the impression that there can be a meeting of the minds. While hope springs eternal, it might be beter if you waited until next week before you pass out olive branches and release the doves. Your dreams and desires out weigh your sense of timing. Wait until timing tips the scales to your advantage.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Folks hang on your every word this week. Virgos sound almost sage-like and otherworldly now. Make good use of this burst of imagination and intuition and don’t waste your temporary cosmic gift on mere gab. Strike a stake in the heart of the opposition immediately! Alas, this verbal jolt soon passes and too soon, you’ll be back to easy listening muzac.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Libras anxiously finger their wallets this week. The urge is to spend, spend, spend but try to save, save, save instead. Even less than risky investments are a no, no, no now because you are investing with your heart and not your head. Check the market indicators. There is plenty of time to carefully examine the bottom line next week. Are you a bear or a bull?

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Expect to feel fits of frenzied panic this week. So much is happening and so many opportunities appear on your plate, you don’t know which one to bite at first. Sit back, review the choices and give yourself time to choose. Soon the landscape will solidify and you can better discern treasure from trash. Hmm, and yet aren’t you sometimes into trash?

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Archers feel especially magnanimous now. Tap the urge to become more involved in worthy community charities, but be sure that your efforts are put towards the greatest beneficial effect instead of dissipated, wasted effort, false starts and an ultimate lack of impact. By the end of the week however you are force with whom to be reckoned.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Don’t count on friends to be there when you need ‘em, despite their assurances of cooperation. The best that  Caps can expect now is a jolly time or two with more than enough grog to grog the memory. Eat, drink and be merry in moderation. Compadres are apt to leave you slumped in your messy, groggy pile as they head off to the next sordid adventure.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
You impressed your boss, but not in the way you think, Aquarius  Blame your over exhuberance for your corporate faux pas. Thankfully this event is transitory and your set back is only temporary. Pick yourself up off the bottom rung, dust yourself off and try kissing up the ladder again next week. Bosses have lousy memories these days anyway.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Adventure is in the air! (Do I smell something burning?) Expect the unexpected in any travel plans this week. Tie up loose ends - Pisces may want to reconfirm reservations and only travel with carry-ons. Even then, an item or two can go astray. However, if you travel with a friend, you will never be without a toothbrush or another set of underwear.

Evangeline Adams

Evangeline Adams is one of America's best known astrologers ... at least she was during the Depression and the years leading to the Great Depression. I can't help but think of Evangeline Adams now that we are in the Great Recession (or at least that is what they are calling it nowadays. As for me, I think it is more of a depression than recession.)

She was very accurate in her astrological predictions of the stock market. During the heady days preceding the depression she recommended buying into the market. But as she read the US birthchart and saw Uranus aspecting Jupiter she then warned of impending financial difficulties: "In 1928 and 1929... it behooves everyone to be extremely cautious in investment and money matters, and be prepared for this threatening configuration of planets". The stock market crash occurred in October of 1929.

Her background is remarkable - She was an advisor to presidents, celebrities and wealthy capitalists such as J.P. Morgan, Charles Schwab and Tallulah Bankhead. Beginning her astrological studies in Boston in 1887, her claim to fame was that she successfully predicted the Windsor Hotel fire in New York City in 1899. She moved to New York in 1905. In 1911 she was arrested for fortune-telling, and although the charges were dropeed, she gained great publicity as a result of the arrest. In 1914, Adams was again arrested for fortune telling in New York, but again was acquitted of all wrong-doing.

Many papers quoted the judge's decision that she "had raised astrology to the dignity of an exact science". Interestingly, she predicted World War II in January 1927 by examining the cycle of Uranus in the US chart. She said "the signs point to a war .... for religious, racial and political reasons, in 1942, 1943 and 1944".

I have past posts on the subject including one on predicting the stock market using astrology and one on the stock market horoscope. If you want to try predicting the stock market for yourself using astrology, consider the book Financial Astrology

Horoscope for the Week of November 9, 2009

Check your energy levels this week. Not only are you raring to go, go, go, you may send others fleeing in terror. Are you a supernova who bursts and dissipates or are you a steady force that moves mountains? Ask Mars which now squares the Sun.

Here is my favorite book on astrology and a "must" for anyone interested in learning more: Secrets from a Stargazer's Notebook: Making Astrology Work for You

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Can you seek fun and frolic alone or will you drag lovers along for the wild ride? It is up to you , Ram. You are in a very expansive and domineering mood and think that what you say, goes. How far will you really take things? That is the question. Remember that one person’s pleasure is another one’s pain. Of course some folks like it that way....

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
The focus is on home and family. Bulls putter around the house with a vengeance, creating dust, activity and domestic evolution. Did I say evolution? I meant dramatic change. While family pressures compel you to take certain actions, will those particular actions cause frictions in relationships? It depends on what type of friction you want. Ahem.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Chit chat at work will only get you into trouble this week. So if you can find an outside groaning board to pine to, do so. Otherwise button your lip and try to look at things and co-workers optimistically. There is nothing to be gained from complaining now anyway. Idle gossip takes on a frankenstein life of its own and walks the cubicles. Nice shoes though.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Count your pennies this week and be sure that you get exactly what you pay for. Crabs are tempted to join in the festivities but might find that after all the drinks are drained and the antics acted, they are stuck with the bill... and the clean-up. So continue to party hearty but keep an eye on the arc of the event. Make your exit early along with your wallet.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
You are forceful, compelling and quite a showpiece this week. At least you think so. Lions may not know when enough is enough. Strut and fret your time on the stage but recognize when the audience is ready for an intermission. You are brimming with great ideas that no one will hear if you can’t find a way to modulate the message. Roaring ain’t the way.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgins focus on what is going on beneath the surface and behind the scenes. And they are not afraid to talk about it ... incessantly. Don’t do that. Keep it to yourself. Before you try to root out any mysteries, take a step back and see if you are being motivated by the facts or paranoia. Of course some of us think that paranoia is simply having all the facts.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
You are probably one of the most sociable people around. And you don’t mind going out of your way in platonic relationships. But there are those who might take advantage of your good nature and your generosity. How much do you want to fund your friends’ jolly times? It is nice to be nice but try not to be a doormat. Draw a line and stay on your side.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
You are more ambitious than usual. But be discreet this week and try and focus on your career without making a spectacle of yourself. Scorps who can find strategic ways of working behind the scenes to get themselves well positioned will make more long term inroads than those who try to highlight their accomplishments publicly. Hire a press agent later.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Archers may feel compelled to scratch their itchy feet and travel but be sure to plan any upcoming trip very carefully. There may be some details that you have left out that will be crucial to finding your way or discovering new and important things. Keep a watchful eye out for shady characters. What you learn about them now will fill in all the details. Ah ha!!

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Hotsy totsy Caps have a fire lit under them. Or is it that they burn with passion? Whatever warms your heart, explore it this week. But while the temptation will be to mix friendships with love, it is probably a better idea to keep all your relationships separate, less complicated and ultimately happier. Who will you turn to for love advice otherwise?

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
If you feel pulled in two directions by the demands of a partnership, try not to let it influence your career decisions. Aquarians have a tendency to try and make all sides in an argument happy and in the process, create problems for themselves. So think of yourself - your needs, your desires and your plans. Hopefully those close to you will understand. If not, give them time.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
As much as you want to roll up your sleeves and be productive, the fates conspire to divert your attention to global, mind bending things this week. Pisces are apt to daydream and wander down detours. This is not a bad thing, usually. But the most important thing is to not get hung up on details that are just time wasters.You know who we mean....

A-Rod, Alex Rodriguez Horoscope

I was reading the New York Post and they reported on a series of paintings that ballplayer Alex Rodriguez has hanging in his house. One of them, with A-Rod as a centaur, was especially interesting. I wondered if Alex Rodriguiz is a Sagattarian? So I googled and found that he was actually born on July 27, 1975 in New York City. His birth time on all the astrology sites have it as time unknown so we don't know his house placements or rising sign.

But the answer to his birth sign is clear - In fact Alex Rodriguez is a proud, regal, generous, audience loving Leo sun sign. But as strong an appearance as he has, emotionally his Pisces moon makes him sensitive, intuitive and somewhat needy, emotionally. He also is compassionate with Mercury (the way he communicates and thinks) in moody Cancer. But he is a bit practical and conservative in love with Venus (how he expresses love) in Virgo. He is probably also a stickler for cleanliness. And yet, Virgo is an earth sign too so he has a robust sexual appetite. He has more earth in his chart with Mars in Taurus which means that he is careful in how he takes action. Taureans move slowly but deliberately and once he has mead ehis mind up, there is no changing it!

His outer planets - the more slow moving ones like Jupiter (which he has in Aries), Saturn (in Cancer), Uranus (Libra), Neptune (Sagittarius) and Pluto (Libra) are more generational and fit a wide range of people born at that time. He grabs opportunity (Aries) and has proven very lucky (Jupiter) in this area. But his problems and challenges (Saturn) can get him down and make his especially sensitive (Cancer). He learns from his failures though. Happy (Libra) surprises (Uranus) bring him into the social swirl (Libra) and can transform him (Pluto). And he gets his inspiration (Neptune) from outdoor activities - sports and anything that brings him into new, international circles (Sagittarius).
