Star Catcher: Astrology for the week of November 7, 2014

SCORPIO (WATER) OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 21 After Sunday, your thoughts turn to personal matters and this is the time for making a concentrated effort toward implementing a few changes you have been considering for quite some time. Nothing major, as even a modification here or an adjustment there will go far to improve your quality of life. Past insecurities are fading as you move on and gain more self-confidence. Financially you are keeping your head above water but it may take a little longer before you can make your nest egg grow. HINT: Take some time to share a thought or two with a sibling. SAGITTARIUS (FIRE) NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21 You find it difficult keeping things to yourself and are always ready to share your thoughts and views, but this week is the time for counting each word as if it cost money. Not everyone who smiles in your direction is actually happy for your success, so take a step back and pay attention. The middle portion of this week is perfect for relaxing at home with family and close friends. Upcoming events will put a dent in your savings and this is the time for cutting back and putting as much as you can aside. HINT: Time spent with a Leo is just what you need to jump-start your battery. CAPRICORN (EARTH) DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19 Once again you find yourself pressed for time and if you really wish to accomplish anything, you will have to be super organized and be prepared to ask for help, if necessary. At work you are respected and admired for your honesty, your willingness to share and most importantly for your vast knowledge. Take a moment to listen to a younger colleague. With a little guidance from you, this person will soon become one of your most valuable team members. HINT: Don't overdo! That spurt of energy you feel will soon disappear unless you dole it out carefully. AQUARIUS (AIR) JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18 You finally have things under control and after weeks of working overtime you can begin to take a step back and enjoy some time off with family or close friends. You have a lot on your mind and slowly, but surely are beginning to turn your dreams into reality. When speaking to a water sign remember that, although this person sees thing much differently than you do, you will do well to listen and learn. HINT: Wednesday and Thursday are perfect days for brainstorming with your partner and/or mate. Together you make a formidable pair. PISCES (WATER) FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20 You talk a lot but say little and only those closest to you are privy to your innermost thoughts and emotions. One person in particular has never let you down and any time you spend together leaves you looking forward to your next meeting. Young members of your family continue to be on your mind and this week you will have the opportunity to do something special for one of them. Before making any further financial commitments, take a step back and try to see the big picture. Money spent now could be better used for something else in the coming months. HINT: Try to relax and walk away from the tension and drama in the air. ARIES (FIRE) MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You have the opportunity this week to make a big difference in the life of someone special in your life. So make time in your busy schedule to arrange a meeting. You won't be sorry! Professionally you have the feeling that no matter how hard you try, you are treading water and don't seem to be getting far. The truth is that this delay or setback is just what you need in order to re-examine the situation and to double check your facts. HINT: Your relationship with an earth sign is far from boring and if things get too heated up this week, perhaps putting a little space between you will cool things down. TAURUS (EARTH) APRIL 20-MAY 20 A great deal of thought and effort will be spent discussing your plans and ideas for the future with your partner and/or mate. Although you are not ready to put all your cards on the table, you can, however, shed some light on the path you are contemplating. You will be pleasantly surprised by the reaction and results you receive. No time like the present to plan an informal party for a few of your closest friends. Nothing elaborate this time, just some sturdy food with old friends, and what could be better than that? HINT: Good week for taking baby steps career-wise rather than jumping in head first…unless, of course you are made an offer that simply cannot be refused! GEMINI (AIR) MAY 21-JUNE 21 A lot is going on in your life at the present and you may find it rather difficult juggling your personal obligations with your professional commitments. This week it is going to have to be business before pleasure. Pay close attention to money and finances on Monday and Tuesday and watch where you leave your phone, wallet and keys. When travelling close to home try to give yourself enough time to arrive without rushing. HINT: Your relationship with a Sagittarius is becoming more interesting as you both discover just how much you have in common. CANCER (WATER) JUNE 22-JULY 22 Don't let past insecurities hold you down now. You are in a far stronger and safer place than you were then both financially as well as emotionally, and when in doubt trust your intuition. Sometimes your heart says code red when your mind knows it is only code blue. So relax and move on. You have so much to do and the only way you are going to get everything done on time is to be super organized and start checking items off one by one. HINT: Friends and family living far away would love to see you and although there is nothing you would like better than to hop on a plane and visit, unfortunately you have neither the time nor the money just yet. LEO (FIRE) JULY 23-AUGUST 22 Not the best week to begin a diet or exercise program, but if you insist then be patient and persevere. It may take a few more weeks until you are really ready to settle down and stick to a weight loss program. Financially things are much better right now and soon you will have the cash you need to make a purchase or two you have been wishing for for moths. When talking with a water sign remember just how sensitive and caring this person is. HINT: Thoughts turn towards home and family this week and now is the perfect time for inviting them over for a home-cooked meal. VIRGO (EARTH) AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22 When dealing with young members of your family you may have to take a step back in order to understand just what they want. Although you could have a different plan in mind, this is the time for letting them spread their wings. After all, it was you who taught them how to fly! Financially you are a bit over-extended right now but in the coming weeks all will be settled and back to normal, so relax and trust yourself. HINT: The middle portion of this week is a perfect time for enjoying the company of your partner and/or mate. Lately you two have discovered more and more reasons for sharing ideas and plans. LIBRA (AIR) SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23 This is the week for rolling up your sleeves and not only getting work done, but even more important, for sitting down with the money people to discuss your finances. Although you are moving forward as planned, there are still a few ways you can cut corners and every penny saved now will be well worth the effort in the months to come. HINT: Someone special in your life doesn't wish to interfere with your plans but would love to see you. Nothing will happen if you leave early or even take a day or two off to go visit.
