(Oct 22 - Nov 21)
You start early this month to remove anything redundant and unnecessary (read: unprofitable) from your schedge, business operation or lifestyle. If something routinely costs more but never pays for itself, it's as good as gone. You make surgical cuts, removing every ounce of fat from your thoughts, life, relationships and business endeavors. You're systematic and attach no emotion to this endeavor. It's a tough job and you are the most qualified person to handle it. Naturally, the superheroes in your life that reliably do more than they're asked to do and bring more in than they absorb are home free. It's only the loose screws that end up in the dustbin. It had to happen, and this month is it. For many of you, this time of year includes employee reviews. If you're afraid of losing your niche, remind others how hard you're trying and how many tasks you're managing for a rather stagnant salary or commission. If you can't wait to escape a job or relationship that feels like a tight, narrow, airless coffin, get out there and start looking for alternatives, like yesterday. For those extra smart Scorps who've already made the connections and started the dialogue, congratulations! You have a wonderful head start.
Venus's retro phase begins March 6 and ends in mid April. This strongly suggests that a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering will take place during the retrograde. I get the image of backroom deal making. It does suggest that you'll make life and career changing plans that may catch a number of colleagues completely by surprise. You're very good at covert operations and stealth, and certainly have the advantage in any spy versus spy activity. Your carefully selected coterie of close friends wouldn't dare reveal a thing about you without checking with you first. Most of them know from experience that it's always best to refer the questioner directly to YOU.
The 8th is seminal. Things become very clear. You fully understand what you're dealing with and how long a situation is likely to continue, with or without you. This helps you determine the timing of you next big decision. Somehow, you manage to keep a Potemkin village propped up, looking real and successful, while creating an entire other world in its shadow. This is why you are so admired, feared, adored and whispered about. You do the impossible, right in plain sight, but manage to distract others' eyes away until you're ready to roll. You control the entire scenario, start to finish, and quietly chuckle to yourself once you've pulled off another stunning miracle. It is amazing, isn't it?
The 10th is important. Crucial paperwork, signatures and data come in. A milestone is reached, with several more to follow. You systematically collect information until you are prepared for any conceivable possibility. That could be as soon as the end of this month (best case scenario, of course).
The 11th through the 15th are pretty fabulous and hint at good times to come. Although you feel temporarily sidelined by the global economic flu bug, you will appreciate your blessings even more when they return with a flourish - and they will, either the last quarter of this year or early next year. The 18th is bitchy. You're moody, broody and not very funny. Larry, Curley and Moe could show up en masse at your front door and you'd snap, "WHAT?!" and quickly slam the door.
Luckily for everyone involved, you emerge from this Heathcliff syndrome on the 19th. You're back to your buoyant, never say die self. Chief Motivator In Charge, you offer hope, hype and whatever to those that peek in your office door. Your workload intensifies during the remainder of the month. You can't avoid this because the word is out: You're incredible at your job. This sparkling image is well deserved. Some of you, however, try to duck and weave, missing calls for your services, guidance, expertise, undivided attention, by hopping the first plane to anywhere. Won't work. Remember: You have a mobile phone. Other than a few bloopers on the 27th, the remainder of your month is rewarding, hardworking and positive.
