Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The stars are sprinkling celestial love all over you, Scorpio. Think of it as a sparkly birthday gift just for you. Though Mars will be in retrograde from this week until January, you can wisely spend this time planning for your next big move. As long as you don't make an ass of yourself at the upcoming company holiday parties, you should be ready for a corner office in the New Year.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Plans for the future may be moving slowly this week, but that's okay. Mars, that fiery planet of forward-movement, is taking a little catnap. With next month looking bright, bold and beautiful for you, now is the perfect time to rest up. Daydream, work on your goals, prepare yourself for the next stage in your evolution. And, you know, literal naps are nice, too.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Ah, romance. If you're single the upcoming holidays will be a grand time to meet someone new. This week, though, you might just want to do some push-ups or get a mani/pedi. You know, primp for the upcoming loving. But if you're attached, look forward to difficult issues between you and your lover. Take this time to hash things out and have real, honest, intimate discussions.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Fierce Mars has been helping you out at the office all month, and the VIPs have been noticing. But this week, with Mars in retrograde, you may experience delays, deadline changes, or just a general slow-down. Don't bang your forehead against that fuzzy grey cubicle wall. Even if Mars is kicking up his heels, you can still kick ass.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Van Gogh was largely despised during his lifetime, so just because your art may not be hanging on museum walls doesn't mean it's not valid, provocative, or genius. This month your muse will be speaking loud and clear, so turn off Vh1 and spend some time letting those creative juices flow. Just not all over the sheets, now.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
You're a bit of a bad-ass, aren't you, Aries? You like it loud, rough and immediate. Of course, your sparkling wit and social zest makes everybody want to give you what you want. So don't freak out this week if things aren't going quite as full-throttle as you'd like. Your bad-boy ruler Mars goes retrograde on the 15th. Things will be slow, soft and sensual. Not so bad, right?
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Did you share your blocks in preschool? (And by "share," I do not mean bashing other little kids over the head with them.) If you didn't, hopefully you've learned the fine art of collaboration since then, as the stars predict good things for those who play well with others. They have some fabulous working partnerships in mind, but I can think of a hundred other ways you can play well with others, too.
Gemini (May 21-Jun. 21)
Do you make new friends, but keep the old? With Mars in retrograde, you'll be hearing from old friends this week. Don't dread it like your high school reunion, Gem. The stars say these old friends may bring you some grand financial opportunities or cool career tips. I'd avoid get rich schemes that involve "meet me in the alley out back and bring cash," however.
Cancer (June 21-July 21)
You can change your sign from "crab" to "social butterfly" this week, Cancer. Though you're sometimes a homebody, now is the time to put on gilded wings and flit about town. The stars predict your social fluttering could lead to partnerships, both of the money-making and the love-making varieties. With your good luck, probably both.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)
Mars slows things down this week, Leo, and will cause slight delays in travel, long-distance communication, studies or legal dealings. Though you normally like to live life at a breakneck pace, take any slight delays as a blessing: it will give you time to review your plans and make sure you've got them right. I know, I know: you're always right the first time, but it never hurts to double-check, does it?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 21)
You're a natural leader, Virgo, but with Mars in retrograde this week, you may have to work extra hard to get people to hear your rallying cries. Thank God you're so charismatic and convincing. Don't be frustrated if people don't think you're a prophetic genius within five second of meeting you. Give 'em an hour. They'll come around. (Shots of Tequila might expedite the process).
Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)
Keep on working, Libra. This week is an ideal time to ask for a raise. But, you must ask. You can't just mentally stew about how you're worth so much more than they pay you. The first half of the week is best for having the big talk with the big boss. As for the rest of the week, you'll continue your grand quest for a job that makes you happy. Godspeed.
