A New Moon in Scorpio is coming to a town near you this Friday. Stillness, power, passion, and focus – this is what we have to work with this month. November is all about passion and connecting in your heart and gut level to your goals and dreams.

Scorpio by Josephine Wall
Enter Scorpio (October 23 – November 21). How it happened, nobody knows. Somehow, Scorpio got the rap of being the Big Sleaze in the Zodiac as well as being the sign that is represented by death (or more specifically, Scorpio represents the Phoenix which is the ancient symbol of death and resurrection). But it you think about it, it all makes sense. Why? Just look around you! The beauty of autumn that was brought in by Virgo, and sustained by Libra, eventually meets its demise during Scorpio’s reign. The last leaves fall onto the ground leaving bare, bleak trees in a sea of cold and grey. Even still, there is a beauty and mystery in bleak November; it is also known as being one of the most magical times in the year, when the spirits are “closest” to the Earth.

Libra by Josephine Wall
Enter Libra (September 23 – October 23). Fall has already arrived, the leaves on the trees have changed colour and the days are getting colder and shorter; charming and likeable Libra has just stepped in. Modern-day astrologers often view Libra as the most generous sign in the Zodiac because it represents the “Zenith of the Year”, when the harvest of the spring’s hard work is finally reaped.

Virgo by Josephine Wall
Enter Virgo (August 23-September 22). Of course, true to form, this mutable Earth Sign wants everything to be perfect for you. That’s why the leaves on the trees change colour in September – they’ve been green all summer long – and to a Virgo, that’s a bit boring. Virgo has also turned down the heat just enough for you to enjoy a beautiful stroll in the park with a light sweater. A Virgo says, “Bring on the Indian Summer!”

Leo by Josephine Wall
It’s the middle of summer – one of the hottest times of the year. If you thought it couldn’t get much warmer, Leo (July 23 – August 22) has entered the scene and cranked up the heat. With that being said, it’s not surprising that Leo is a fixed, fire sign. Since fixed signs come along as the season is already underway – Cancer was cardinal; the kick-off of the season – Leo’s represent going deeper. At the same time, being fixed means it’s difficult to let go.

Law of Attraction (def’t:) a term used widely by those of “New Thought”. Refers to the idea that thoughts influence chance. The LOA argues that thoughts – both conscious and unconscious – can affect things outside the head.
I have a tip for everyone keeping in mind the Law of Attraction principle. People may scoff at it, but the idea is really simple (and in some ways, you are a fool if you don’t think it has any credibility. Sorry to be blunt). Think about it: if you keep dwelling on the negative, you are going to experience it. Thinking negative thoughts creates negative feeling which resonates negative energy. The same thing happens with positivity.
A simple way to condition yourself and practice the LOA is by changing your passwords. Everyone has accounts: e-mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Formspring et al which require both usernames and passwords. Change your password to something significant to you. Maybe it is a goal, a dream of yours, an aspiration. Maybe you want a new job (this happened to me!) so change your password to reflect that. Maybe you want a new car. What kind is it? Change your password to that. Maybe you have a secret crush? Who is he/she (I bet they’re cute!) Put their name as your password (I admit that does sound borderline creepy…)
The idea is that every time you type in your password you will reflect on that desire. Thought is an important thing. It can send out energy into the universe about that exact thing, and the more time you type in that password – which people tend to do frequently on a daily basis – the more it will get out there.
Try it out! (Besides, it’s better than “password123″ or “lame33″ or whatever the case may be).

I think Astrology is cool. There, I said it. And I believe myself to be a stable, down-to-earth person who isn’t outlandish and has great judgment (or so I hope… buuut I’m pretty confident). A few years ago, I got hooked on Astrology – mostly because of its uncanny accuracy. It started when I was doing my own chart, followed by the chart of family and friends around me, and was surprised to find how accurately their personality matched their signs. Signs, I say. You may think I am strange but it is true that we have more than one sign – we have many.
Here is a challenge for anyone who thinks Astrology is bogus. Maybe you don’t feel very connected to your Sun Sign. The fact is that your astrological profile includes more than just the sign under your birth date. The Sun Sign is just the tip of the iceberg. Your Sun Sign has become most common in mainstream media because it’s easy to figure out. It describes your basic nature and personality traits that remain constant throughout your life. In other words, it is the image or light you shine out into the world and comes from that innermost, truest part of you.
However, you also have a Moon Sign. This is the inner you that only close companions get to experience. Maybe it’s the private you that reveals itself behind closed doors, after you have put on something a bit more comfortable (let’s say jogging pants and your baggiest sweatshirt. Not very chic, but whatever). In addition, your Moon Sign is the part of you that acts on instinct, is unguarded, and comes out in a crisis. In everyday life, the Moon sign is what you fall back on to restore your sense of emotional security. The Moon Sign is calculated a bit differently: it depends on the date and time of your birth. For people who say that Astrology is dumb because a person born the same day can have the same Astrology profile, you’re wrong. The Moon sign can change and be under two difference signs in the same day. To check out your Moon sign, click here: http://www.lunarium.co.uk/moonsign/calculator.jsp
If that wasn’t complicated enough, you can find out your sign in Mercury (how do you communicate?), Venus (how you deal with love and romance?) as well as Mars (what makes us tick, fired up or angry?) For example, I am a Virgo but I have a Moon Sign in Scorpio. So whereas I am slightly a mixture of those two signs, in a way, the way I communicate and love can be influenced by other signs as well. Combined, this makes your astrological profile and it is more personal – and detailed – than some might think.
Try it on yourself and your friends. You might be surprised. And if you are a non-believer, when you check out your horoscope the next time, try to pay attention to both your Moon and Sun sign readings. Incorporate them together and see if you can find a deeper meaning.

The Summer Solstice has approached. The days are getting longer and hotter. Are you starting to feel the heat? Maybe after a long week at the office you can’t wait to unwind at home and engage in some of your favourite summer activities. Or perhaps after a day at the beach you are craving your favourite spot on the couch with your remote control or favourite book. Whatever the case may be, Cancer has entered the scene (June 21 – July 22) and the crab rules the Fouth House of the Zodiac, also known as the ‘House of Family and Home’. This house represents the effects of our earliest experiences and of the nurturing that we receive as children, in addition to the way that this anchors and guides the rest of our lives.
Cancerians harbor a strong sense of family and longing for community: you empathize, you offer understanding. As fiercely protective individuals, anyone lucky enough to be within a Cancerian’s inner circle enjoys a secure sense of comfort and belonging. Cancer’s stereotype is that they are often moody. Perhaps this is because they are a water sign associated with the moon, a combination that leads to shifting moods and deeply felt emotions. I read a quote Cancer which made me laugh, “Crabby? You? Only in the morning. Before lunch. All day Tuesday and most of Sunday. Leap years. At high altitudes and low barometric pressures.” And just like their symbol of the Crab, although they may sometimes appear like they have a shell on the outside, inside they are really loving and kind. But aren’t Crabs the least bit fabulous? Of course… think of Princess Diana. Or consider Julius Caesar – this Cancer emperor married Calpurnia, romanced Cleopatra – and kept boys on the side!
Cancers in love, well let’s just say they can be cute. They love with all of their hearts, and can be sentimentalists who still write love letters (…see what I mean by cute?) However, as much as Cancerians want companionship – it can also often times freak them out. I heard some good advice for Cancers on the topic of dating, “Not all frogs turn into princes on the first kiss. Try sticking it out a little longer. Keep kissing.” The strong and silent type is what will catch a Cancer’s eye. He or she provides a Cancer a cozy harbour from disappointment or emotional uncertainty – and maybe a little pampering won’t hurt, either.
Happy Birthday, Cancer! You’re not so crabby after all
