Our astrological wonder woman GREAR SHINES with this month’s horoscopes… As usual, I’ve left in all of the wonderful grammatically magical Grear-isms so that you can catch the full meaning of her unique way of communicating. Tell your friends because a year from now we see this column THRIVING.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIBRA!

Lovely Libra do you feel lighter? I bet you do. Saturn has been in your sun sign for the past two and a half years. On the fifth “Sat” will finally sit in Scorpio. They too will have their near three year Saturnian stay. Saturn is about restrictions, discipline but also integrity (the high side of this serious authoritative energy). With that said, now that he’s moving out of your first house, where do you think he’s heading? Well, he has to go somewhere. Yes, right into your second house of finances (earned) and values. Be mindful of your spending and your caring.

There’s work to be done (itn’t there always?) in this area. Closely examine what is of value to you; reassess and reassign. Or, simply rid yourself of it! Our lovely Abiola has a cool Feng Shui video up speaking to de-cluttering. For you this month, this is absolutely necessary. The scales are all about measuring, finding the balance, exacting the ratio of matters. Clutter is never a comfort zone for any sane Libra, anyway.

Holding a garage sale or an online sale of things you’re going to discard looks promising. Travel is shown auspiciously; but not before you de-clutter. Our recent full moon in your opposite sign: Aries, should have given you the charge to have already begun the clearing process.

There could be an admirer. Someone you least expect or a stranger. If they are a Pisces, all the more noteworthy.

#onetoponder: As a Libra, look closely at how the word “Library” is spelled. Have you ever wondered why there are scales engraved outside of nearly every courthouse? See the yin/yang symbol in your mind’s eye right now. How do you see that image relating to the scales? How do we say “book” in Spanish? Out of all the signs why is yours the only one whose symbol is not that of an animal or a human? If you know the answers to these queries already, good. If you don’t. Ruminate on it. You’ll be spellbound. The “spell,” in ‘spellbound’ given in this context here, not to be taken lightly.

All in all, a loving month for you. Enjoy, InJoy, and Share its sweet loving rays. <3

Scorpio

On the fifth Saturn enters your sun sign. It will enter and remain…for the next two plus years. Each sign gets their [sat] turn; it’s leaving Libra. Saturn’s energy is very restrictive. But there’s a high side to all energetic spheres. The high side of this one [Sat urn] is discipline and integrity. With that said, despite Saturn’s heavy most oft burdensome intrusion, use it to your advantage. It’s a good time to heal your body, exercise more, eat better.

Authoritative figures may really come for you during this period! They’ll just be drawn to you–now you’ll know why. Don’t lose your head. Stay Cool. And if you’re one yourself, don’t [unconsciously] take out on others what Saturn is puttin’ on you. Be cognizant of why you’re handling any situation [or any person] the way that you are. And correct it.

Certain long-standing connections could come to an end. Don’t see closure as a fail, see it as having run its course. Remember, your sun signs rules beginnings and endings. You can teach us all how to honor both.

There are major planets (not just Saturn) that’ll be stationed within the sting. It’s imperative that you clear away all lingering leftover luggage from the past. ‘Just focus on the essentials–what matters most. In this reflection you may feel prompted to write: Do it! It can stand to be your greatest accomplishment ever.

This month, don’t take on too much. Help others in small doses. A vocational opportunity is shown; and money. Play a game of chance! The Full Moon this month will shine light on an ending and or a beginning. Be Aware. Cozy up to an Aquarian (one that’s receptive…they can be very d e t a c h e d) this month; mucho auspicious energy here between you two.

Sagittarius

Finish projects. Or, just “finish” period. Or…it’ll finish for you. An ending of some sort is shown. Especially in the areas of: a group, job, organization, or a person with an Aquarian sun, ascendent or moon… Anything (or anyone) you were contemplating cutting ties with–do so. Or they’ll do so–by expelling you. If you’re not the Saggie that this is applicable to, good. But still…be alert. You are fire sign. Think of the element of fire. Fire doesn’t sit too well with its air (oxygen) being swiped away. No, you prefer to do the swiping and expelling. Hence the term, “You’re Fired!”

Many partners are shown this month. This could be matters of law or matters of romance or both. Either way exercise keen discernment. Wield that powerful perception the cosmos endowed you with.

A Capricorn you work with or one that wants to work with you or, WORK YOU, romance is shown–but short-lived though. With our cosmic next door neighbors, romantic pairing can be a challenge.

This month’s star-forecast also points to self-work at home. A Sag friend of mine once recommended an exercise [one that worked for him]: Sit or stand (whichever is more comfortable for you) in a mirror, stark naked, with all the lights out, just a candle burning. Speak not. Just stand there and study yourself–inwardly and outwardly. It’s intense. But worth it. You’re likely to be very surprised at your findings. A healing observation.

Capricorn

A wave of isolation may come over you. Don’t feel sad about it. Try not to ever feel “sad” about your sadness, feel analytical instead. It is in this analysis you can transform sadness to enlightenment. Assess your goals. Reassess your ambitions. Restructure them. Like your Saggie neighbor, this month is the perfect time to embrace the solitary state. Heal.

Engage an older foreigner in delightful discourse. Elect to play sports with pals versus argue; or a fight could break out. It won’t be pretty. Mars is shown here. Or simply steer clear of them till November. Smile.

Transform. A new you is highlighted.

Aquarius

Career matters look up. If you’ve planned well and implemented that salient plan of action, the harvest is here. Well deserved. Note: You can take on much more responsibility in said area. Be patient with authoritative figures on the job and elsewhere. It’s not worth it. By month’s end, this terse contact could lessen considerably. Again, patience.

If it doesn’t. Create anew.

An obsessive romantic hold could grip you this month. Either it on you or you on it. Yes, I know, one would be hard-pressed to ever find the Water Bearer obsessing over another human being. But an aspect is showing exactly that for you this month. The signs Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Libra are noted. Be informed.

Taking an online class by month’s end on astrology could give some sage insight to exactly what occurred the weeks prior.

There could be a move–change of residence. The fullness of family, for better or worse, is also noted. Let love carry you through. Play a game of Chance.

Pisces

There’s a surge of energy to find a job. Spend this great burst of chi wisely. Seek one that fills your heart, not just your wallet. Most Pisces are very creative and charming; allow these great attributes to lead you to fulfilling your passion even in the vocational arena.

Working on solitary projects this month is wise. A favorable settlement shown; and or, a Libran and or Scorpion love dispensed your way.

A friendship could be at risk of ending. Or some kind of heated exchange. Mind your mind and monitor your words. Can’t avoid the inevitable, but we can wait out certain transits till sane currents are restored. Sane currents. Sane discourse.

There could be a move or a distant trip. If you gamble, follow your heart always, but I’d take a break from playing games of chance this month…’cept for the end, things look $wimming again, near the Full Moon, for playing the numbers.

Aries

Take great care to secure finances and relationships. Loss is shown in both areas. Do a lot of studying, researching to thwart this. Traveling to a new place can assist in some significant way as well.

Tame the sweet tooth. Try not to overindulge with sugars; or, that sweet co-worker.

Taking a spiritual workshop or class some time this month is a favorable undertaking.

Taurus

If applicable: Have a love affair! This is a highly romantic month for the bull. Be sure to have fun. Put yourself in social settings often. Accept the invite. Do not hide this month in the house.

New Romance. New business. New Money…all highlighted. Word is Bond. You’re usually good at keeping your word. This isn’t the month to slack on this powerful Taurean virtue.

You as well, play games of chance. Only when you “Feel” it.

Tip: Take a workshop on massage therapy.

Gemini

Send Freya a kiss of love and warm gratitude and take a risk. Not a silly one, but a solid one. Yeah, I know “solid” and “risk” should never be posted in the same sentence. But you’re the twin, who better to get the concept of irony than you?

Question of the month: What excites you?

Healthy excitement. Do it. Embody it!

Suggestion: Visit a Nursing Home. Ask who doesn’t receive many visitors, see if it’ll be okay to sit and chat with that elder. Engage them sincerely. Watch what you glean. Try to refrain from sexual relations till month’s end. If you’re already celibate–good.

Chances are, you won’t feel like compromising too much this month within your love relationship anyhow; perfect time to abstain.

A power-struggle of some kind is noted. A bully on the job? A pal? Gemini is so playful and social, loves to interact, but you may have to temporarily morph into the higher octive of yourself, you airy cousin: Aquarius, and d e t a c h.

“I rather be single and sane versus coupled-up and crAzy.” ~GYT (something I’ve mouthed to a Gemini client who just couldn’t see themselves being alone)

Cancer

Fellow Cancerian and popular talk show host Wendy Williams speaks to how she loves to craft. If you are the same, this month, your skill set is heighten. Stellar work produced. You can even market it. That’s if… you can part with the items. I know how Cancers (Taureans too) love their things; especially things they made from scratch with their own hands.

If designing, crafting, is not your thing normally. Give it a try. When you create you activate the divine cord within. Point in Case: Wendy Williams once said on her show how she has to do it [crafting] to prevent from doing drugs.

Hence, there’s something very powerful about healthy creating. Create with an older person and or children. In fact, astro-fact, you may find yourself taking on a more parental role this month to others other than your offspring.

Consume apricots (if dietary possible). You’ll feel neighborly or more neighborly than usual. A good thing. Choose the company soberly. Such a busy month, especially the beginning and middle; take care to relax near its end.

You too, power struggles at work. Can you put in for a mini-vacation? Anything to dodge the foolishness.

Leo

Our very own lovely Leo herself has a Feng Shui video up speaking to not just cleaning up but cleaning out. Embrace that minimalist lifestyle. Start now. This is the month that’s astro-dictating you to.

There’s a move. Mentally or physically or both, a move is shown.

You too may find yourself taking care of an elderly person. Relish the moment. They come with loads of wisdom.

Venus is just about coming outta your sun sign. She’ll be in your second house for a minute. You can potentially increase your earnings by selling what you about to clean out.

Leos you all tend to enjoy Libra company as well as when the sun is in Libra. And I know why. Air and Fire have high tolerance for the other. And I also think it’s the “L” that leads both nomens. L is an upside down 7, the divine prime number. L is also Love.

Virgo

You’ve analyze it, I know. Analyzing is what you do best. Sometimes it seem like that’s what you do solely. Your belief system. Study and re-study it. Take a class if you must.

Where Venus is stationed for you this month, you could attract much love. One of those admirers may be the very one that facilitates the study group or workshop.

Transform.

Lighten up. Try to have fun. This may be difficult for you but this month allow fun to top the priority list; yes, even above work. Remember, all work and no play makes Jane (or John) a dull gal.

Work looks bright too–still, reach for the fun. Do the work. But do the fun too!

Busy bodies are shown in the home corner. Possible yard sale or a lot of traffic: folks dropping by without phoning first. This typically doesn’t sit well with a Virgo; if it does–fine. If not, be aware they don’t mean harm, it’s just how the cosmos are aligned. Their movements above affects us below–whether we’re conscious of it or not. In short, be kind to the visitor that neglected to call first. Smile
