ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

Plans for an eventual escape with someone close and special to you takes on added importance over the next few weeks. Aries not have deeper feelings about a certain someone but can also find ways to spend more time with them. So let your imagination take control as to what you can do or say to enhance your love life and live large.

TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)

Balance will be everything now, Taurus. Your obligations at work need to be wrangled so that you leave time and attention to partners. You can achieve this by carefully planning out projects and prioritizing. There may be some things that you can put off. But don’t put off connecting with those who are especially important to you.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)

Is it possible to have too much fun, Gemini? I guess you will see. All of your amusing pastimes may begin to pile up and eventually you will need to decide which are the most fulfilling and which are simply too much work. Parse through what is most important to you and share it with someone close to you. Partying is much more fun with a group.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

There will be times when family and domestic projects require your full attention. So when that happens, try to focus on the essentials, Cancer, and decide what is best for you in the long term. As the week progresses, however, you will find more time for relaxation and fun. So pace yourself and see where it all leads.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

Thinking through a particularly detailed situation will take time and care, Leo. That is why, as the days progress, you find greater calm and comfort in staying closer to home and cocooning. Make your surroundings perfect for you. That may mean planning a renovation, moving a few pieces of furniture around or inviting friends over.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

Planning for your financial future can lead you to a new and more independent position. Your confidence soars, Virgo, as you find your footing in a range of important life matters.  So focus on what is most important to you and what you need to do to make these things happen. By next year you should be on top of the world.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

How can you become even more influential, Libra? You can find more of the answers now as you are able to expand your vision of the future and ascertain which path you need to take. The secret to your success may depend on what information you cull and whose advice you take. Gather everything you can and ruminate on it before you act. Then act up!

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

There is so much going on it may be difficult to break through the static, Scorpio. But you will find inventive ways to manage through the fog and make meaningful inroads into your future successes. Reach out and move into new social circles. You impress some fairly impressive people. Then decide how to press them.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

If you find yourself especially intuitive, Sagittarius, that is because you probably are. So delve into your soul and listen to what your inner voice is telling you. It can lead you into new and exciting avenues that enhance your life and make it more exciting. The secret is to calmly pull back and take it all in meditatively. Then decide.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

Not only are you more popular, you find ways to attract more people and interesting activities. So see where life leads you, Capricorn. Find ways to expand your social circle and let it take you to places where you’ve never been before. Somewhere along the line is someone who can figure prominently in your life for the long term.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

You may want to spend more time thinking about your long term plans, Aquarius. What do you want and need to achieve, especially in your career? There are opportunities to explore and powerful people who can help you. All you have to do is figure out the “what” and all of the rest falls into place. Concentrate. Concentrate.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20-MARCH 20)

This is the time for expansion and exploration, Pisces. Your mind is open and ready for new stimuli. So choose from the many ways to make that happen from travel to study to general outreach. Get out of your routine and enjoy everything that life has to offer. The world is on your doorstep. Either invite it in or step outside.

Halloween Cakes That Predict Your Future

Atlas Obscura writes about fortune-telling cakes. I have to admit that I never heard of them! Fascinating ---

 

On one recent Tuesday night, I texted my friend Katie and asked her to come over to make some fortune-telling flatbread. When she showed up, wary but game, I explained a bit more. We were going to bake a dumb cake. The name, by the way, isn’t meant to describe a poorly-thought-out pastry. Instead, it was the main event of a baking ritual conducted by young, unmarried women across the United Kingdom and North America from the 1700s up to the mid-1900s. Universally, the goal was the same: to discover the identity of their future husbands with what one encyclopedia called “a dreaming bread.”

Dumb cakes were once part of an enormous tradition of soothsaying foodstuffs. Rings hidden in cakes and mashed potatoes could reveal who was next to be wed, while an apple peel tossed over your shoulder might very well fall into the shape of the first initial of your future spouse. These traditions took place on the liminal, celebratory days of the year, when mystical or seasonal change was nigh: Halloween, Christmas Eve, and solstices, for example.

But making dumb cakes wasn’t often considered a fun party game for a group. Instead, it was more like a spooky, complicated sleepover game, such as “Bloody Mary,” the ghost-summoning ritual conducted with a mirror. But instead of seeing a gore-covered spirit, these duos or trios of girls hoped to see their future husbands in a dream.

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

How hot can you be Aries? Pretty hotsy totsy, I would say. Let your animal magnetism guide you into delicious love liaisons now as your ability to attract anyone you want is strong and compelling. But try to be choosey. There will be many to vie for your attention but only a select few who are worthy of you … or maybe just one person in particular.

TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)

Relationships become more intense and close now. The past few months may have been a time of isolation and distance but this can now be bridged and overcome easily, Taurus. There will be times when this closeness can feel confining but it can also feel comforting at the same time. Find ways to achieve a fine balance and make your life more meaningful.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)

Pour yourself into your work, Gemini. You can tackle anything and everything no matter how detailed or expansive. Focus on the task and see if you can also find willing helpers who help you move things forward more quickly. You find that not only will you feel much more accomplished but also free to then pursue more creative avenues.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

Cancers with a great idea make it happen on the big stage now. You seem to have so many great ideas that they cannot be contained. While it will be hard to prioritize, you manage to do so fairly easily. So don’t think small when things loom large. Make your personal, artistic statement loudly. You never know who needs to listen.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

Domestic issues hit a hot and high note, Leo. Everyone wants your attention. What will you do with all of the familial frenzy that demands your participation and strategy? Think carefully first and act carefully second. Then have a big gathering and invite everyone to join. This can be the start of something emotionally fun and fulfilling.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

You find yourself in the epicenter of the conversation, Virgo. If you have been nurturing some personal ideas, it is time to let them out. You now communicate with passion and will forge a connection that influences others and makes change happen. Let your voice be heard loud and clear. If not now, then when? If not you then who?

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

If you ever wanted to make significant inroads into your fiscal security, this is the time, Libra. You have the ability to hyper focus on what needs to be done and to find the right advisors to lead you in the right direction. While it is an auspicious time to concentrate on your goals and timeline, you should also take strategic action to make plans a reality.  

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

Step out into the center stage and shine, Scorpio. People naturally gravitate to you and you manage to command all attention. Whatever you have been planning to do for a while, now has the capacity to move forward. You may be surprised at who is available to help you. It may only take a small effort on your part to shake up your life.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

There is a lot of magic going on behind the scenes, Sagittarius. The secret to your success will be to discover what it is, who is creating it and what you can do with all of it. Have fun as you explore the unknown and give back to the universe as you proceed. You never know where you will wind up at the end of this fabulous personal journey.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

There will be friendships and connections made this week that can have profound impact on your future direction, Capricorn. Nothing can prepare you for the fascinating and passionate people you meet. But you have to get out there and mingle within your comfort level. Nothing happens if you don’t make it happen. But also expect happenstance.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

Building towards your future professional goal never seemed so clear and easy as it is now, Aquarius. That is because all of your pre-planning is ready to go, go, go. You now just have to take the first step. But for those who are still in the planning stage, it is also a great time to refocus your efforts and readjust your path. You now know how.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

Pisces are ready to explore the world and increase their vision. If you are ready to venture out safely, do so. If you need more time to consolidate your feelings, find ways to broaden your horizon from home. There will be many ways – both inside and outside – for you to refresh perspectives, discover new and exciting folks and otherwise blossom.
