Madame G guide to the stars WEEK OF OCT. 28

Print

It’s your birthday — maybe. Madame G welcomes the Scorpio Sun into the fray. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, ancient agrarian humans believed the veil was thinnest around Halloween. The Celt’s Samhain was the celebration of summer’s end and marked time for communication not only with the divine, but also the dead. This week, listen close; your spirit’s speaking.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The winds of change are in the air. As a hot-tempered fire sign, you want things NOW, if not yesterday. Internally, you’re afraid of running out of steam because your attention is limited. From the outside looking in, you’re demanding. Other’s may see you as the boy/girl who cried wolf. Remember, if the house isn’t on fire — it’s not an emergency. Breathe in, namaste.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

What a funny world we live in. One moment you’re headed toward a clear-cut path, the next moment you’re propelling down a 90-degree cliff. It’s a bit rough on the landing. But once your feet hit land — what a rush. You did it. Sometimes the life we live is much better than the one we imagined, “Oh, the places you’ll go.” Enjoy the ride!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Have you seen any trick-or-treaters? Hopefully they’re avoiding clowns. As an air sign, you’re more sensitive than most. You may even enjoy the joke of dressing as a clown yourself. Don’t get sucked into the trap. This isn’t the time for making outlandish political statements. Often when crowds are most riled up, they’re at their most dangerous. Be smart, good luck!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re a feminine water sign, like Scorpio. But where Scorpio’s emotions run deep, like still water, you’re a raging tempest. Cancers are the most likely serial killers, according to the FBI. Committing crimes of passion both fierce and unplanned. You’re a force of nature. Consider your actions. What legacy do you want? It all starts with controlling yourself. Peace!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Feeling sentimental is natural this time of year. Perhaps you’ve come across the photo of an old friend who’s passed or the trinket of a favorite pet, now deceased. Whatever the case, let it all out. Don’t carry it alone. Call your friends, daughter, and mother. Let them know how much you love them. Make a beautiful sculpture from the items and live, laugh and love. Smile!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Have you heard? Your heart is speaking. As a practical earth sign, you don’t really like all this “phrew-phrew” stuff like emotions. You’re not heartless. In fact, you have a lovely emotional side. You’re just ever practical. You get things done right the first time. Madame G suggests you don’t get too preoccupied with reality. Allow yourself to dream and enjoy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

What’s the good life? You enjoy the finer things in life. This may mean you also enjoy a clean house, good food, and exercise. Sometimes, this involves lots of money. But not all that glitters is gold. Consider what makes you happy now, and seek that out. Is it the company of good friends? Maybe you enjoy tailgating with a friend and a beer. Do what makes you happy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Happy birthday Scorpio. Do you wear opal or topaz? This depends on your birthdate. Unlike the 11 other signs, Scorpios are symbolized by three daemons (scorpion, eagle, and phoenix). You’re a complex group. You even have two ruling planets: Pluto and Mars. This complexity has positives and negatives. But like all things in life—it’s what you make of it. You will!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Hello! Your soul is wandering again. What does this mean for you? Restlessness is solved by action. You don’t always have to leave for an extended period of time. Take a drive up to the mountains. Breathe in the fresh air. Trade your expectations for appreciation and you’ll notice the blessings and adventure flow in. Be bold! Smile.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your heart is a wonderful gift. But you’re stubborn and prone to hiding your heart under rubble. What you don’t do could harm the ones you love. There’s an old fairy tale — a horror story really — about a shriveled heart unused to love — and it kills its one true love. First, you must love yourself. Then you may love others in a way that doesn’t hurt them. Love is vulnerable strength.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re a good soul on a mission. Don’t lose heart. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again. That doesn’t mean try three times and it works. Often, you’ll need to try 10 times before you see a result. Consider Pareto’s principle or the law of the vital few states: “Roughly 80 percent of the effects come from 20 percent of the causes.” Do your best and put your best foot forward.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Hello sensitive water sign. Like your fellow water signs (Scorpio and Cancer) you’re also ruled by emotion. Unlike their larger personalities, you’re more like a sweet kid-sister tagging along with the big kids. Don’t let this bother you. It’s a sign of maturity. Jim Rohn said: “Maturity is the ability to reap without apology and not complain when things don’t go well.” You’ve arrived.
