ONE MONTH ASTROLOGY FORECAST The Starlight Solutions Forecast for Martha Stewart August 3, 1941 1:33 PM Jersey City, New Jersey September 30, 2004 - October 30, 2004 ASTROWORK info@astrowork.com www.astrowork.com Your Astro-Forecast begins on the next page. If the time period for an interpretation is, for example, given as "July 1, 2003 (June 15, 2003 to July 15, 2003)", then it starts in mid-June, reaches greatest intensity around July 1, and ends in mid-July. The first date listed is the time when the influence has reached maximum strength; we can call this date the "peak date". The influence starts on the beginning date, gradually increases in strength until the peak date is reached, and then it gradually fades out until the ending date is reached. An influence may last for as little as a week to as long as half a year or so. It is a good idea to look ahead in your Astro-Forecast Report for long-lasting influences, as you otherwise may not realize that it is in effect until you are already several months into the time period of the influence. Some people underline the dates of long-lasting influences with a colored pen to draw attention to them. You may also notice that the same interpretation shows up periodically during the year; this is not unusual. In some cases the beginning and ending dates of the 2 influences are the same; the only difference between the 2 interpretations is the peak date. This means that this particular influence has two peak dates instead of one. It is even possible for there to be three or more peak dates for the same astrological influence. To eliminate redundant interpretations, you may be informed that the astrological influence also occurred earlier and that you should refer back to the previous occurrence of this interpretation. You may be wondering what the funny abbreviations after the dates are. For example, you may see "Sat Conj Plu", "Ura Trine Nep", etc. These abbreviations are given for the benefit of astrologers and they show the astrological factor that is in effect. We hope you enjoy your Astro-Forecast. For the benefit of astrologers, some technical details are given below.

The power of a collective goal or ideal stirs you now, and you recognize that more can be accomplished by a group effort than by going solo. It's not that you're feeling especially cooperative, but you are energized by a group process. High-energy collaborative projects, team sports and so on, interest you now. You could be an active leader in such an endeavor, or simply add your energy to the whole group's. Sep 13, 2004 (Sep 12, 2004 to Oct 11, 2004) Sun 11th H. Your community, social circle, and/or world events are a focus for you now. Beware of how you impact others, and how your actions and choices ripple out to influence the world. Conferences or other gatherings that are related to future developments and/or shared ideals and interests succeed for you at this time. You may lead, facilitate, or organize an important group function. Sep 14, 2004 (Aug 20, 2004 to Oct 18, 2004) Ura Qucnx Plu Massive shifts in the world around you are impacting your life, and may be forcing changes that you could not have foreseen. You may be uneasily balancing the urge to hold steady and resist change, and the impulse to make some kind of radical move. Certainly adjustments and rerouting your direction and approach will be called for. You may find yourself at odds with the collective current, or disturbed by the impulses and energies of a different generation. Your ideals, beliefs, and lifestyle may be severely challenged, because the world you envisioned is not the one which you find around you now. Positive Potentials: Finding a balance between preserving what you value, and letting go of the known and familiar in order to adapt to unavoidable changes. Negative Potentials: Difficult and tumultuous transitions. Sudden, abrupt reversals. Remedies and Suggestions: Do not be heavy-handed, authoritarian, or extremely resistant to the adaptations you are being asked to make now. The more fluid and open your attitude, the less severe the challenge will be. Sep 22, 2004 (Sep 11, 2004 to Oct 7, 2004) Sat Qucnx Moon Right now there are subtle messages and clues about how well you are paying attention to your family, your emotional needs for belonging and support, and your inner life. If work ambitions, mundane responsibilities, and external demands are claiming too much of your energy, expect some kind of warning signal. Attending now to those places that are undernourished can head off a crisis further up the road. Positive Potentials: This is a good time to slow down and LISTEN - to your body, your dreams, the women in your life, your children. Negative Potentials: You may be feeling "out of the loop", excluded or neglected in some way, or vaguely sad. Remedies and Suggestions: Attend lovingly to whatever aspect of body, soul, or your relationships seem to be needing a little help. Sep 22, 2004 (Sep 11, 2004 to Oct 7, 2004) Sat Conj Merc At this time you are concerned with seeing just what is - the immediate reality and truth of how things really are, not what you wish or believe or hope they will be. You are thinking carefully, deeply, seriously. It's hard for you to take anything on faith right now, and serious doubts may beset you. Communications tend to be on deep, difficult, or necessary but unpleasant topics. You are less communicative in general and you may find yourself withdrawing from social activities because you don't want to be distracted by superficial interactions, or you may be simply disinclined to participate. You tend to be more of a detached observer, analyzer, and quiet thinker right now. Positive Potentials: Increased ability to concentrate, focus on important matters, and work out the practical steps needed to achieve a long-range goal. Thoroughness and attention to facts. Good time for serious study, research, intellectual work, contemplation, mental discipline. Mature thinking. Negative Potentials: Gloomy thoughts, fearful or negative thinking from an inability to see the larger picture, pessimism. Overly critical of others, yourself, or anything that seems too idealistic, impractical, or not a sure thing. Narrow, rigid, or shortsighted thinking can lead to overlooking important possibilities or alternatives. Mental depression or preoccupation with problems. Worry. Remedies and Suggestions: It's important to maintain a sense of humor and a sense of perspective right now, as you tend to be skewed toward the worst-case scenario type of thinking. Don't hold yourself or others to strict, unattainable standards. On the other hand, forced gaiety isn't the answer either. Allow yourself time to think, read, meditate, or be by yourself if you wish to. Take this time to clarify, define, and work out your own ideas. Beware of how you speak to others now, as you may unintentionally deflate, discourage, or alienate them with your hard words. Orange, lavender, or lemongrass essential oil, used as aromatherapy, can be supportive and uplifting now. Sep 23, 2004 (Sep 22, 2004 to Oct 21, 2004) Ven 10th H. Cooperation and a focus on harmony and understanding benefits you professionally and/or enhances your reputation and public standing. Attending an important social occasion or festivity may put you in the public eye as well. A romance or beneficial friendship that begins as a business alliance could be part of the picture. You may also feel you are married to your career right now because quite a bit of your energy is invested there and/or you love what you're doing at the moment. Sep 23, 2004 (Sep 23, 2004 to Oct 8, 2004) Merc 11th H. World events, cultural and community affairs, or group discussions and plans are a focus for you now. You may teach, facilitate a group, or help organize and get the word out about your community activities. Intellectual interests, connections based on common ideas, or problem-solving in the context of a committee or group is featured. Sep 27, 2004 (Sep 15, 2004 to Oct 14, 2004) Sat Sxtil Nep This is not an especially glamorous or exciting time, but one that can yield much quiet satisfaction. If you are involved in a creative or artistic field, your focus is on honing skills, working out technical problems, refining your craft, and making tangible improvements that raise the quality of your product. Marketing or other practical aspects of your work also plays a part. If you are spiritually or devotionally inclined, you may begin or deepen your commitment to a regular practice or discipline, or you may want to do something real, practical, and concrete to actualize your ideals. An austere or simplified aesthetic appeals to you now. You want to get back to basics, to focus on essentials, and to be rid of distractions. Quiet times in nature are a fine way to reconnect with what is true and important to you. Positive Potentials: Bringing discipline, realism, and willingness to work into spiritual life or creative endeavors. Helping others with no personal advantage in mind. Building a solid foundation of goodwill, based on service. Negative Potentials: Because you are not in an extravagant or festive mood, you may disapprove of others who are wasting resources or time. Remedies and Suggestions: This is an excellent time to begin a yoga practice or to study metaphysical, spiritual, or religious areas in a serious, thorough way. Find a teacher you especially respect. Follow up on your impulses to "do good" for the world in some way. Sep 29, 2004 6 PM(Sep 28, 2004 to Sep 30, 2004)Ven Trine Moon You're in a sweet mood and are a soft touch, especially for people you care for. Your family, children, home, or long time friends give you the most pleasure now, and you'll want to be with them. Sharing food or other forms of nurturing makes you happy. You may not feel like working or pushing yourself too much now. However, bringing flowers or treats into your workplace gives you satisfaction. Sep 30, 2004 9 PM(Sep 30, 2004 to Oct 1, 2004) Merc Sxtil Plu You are interested in complexity, depth, the mysterious, the hidden, or the primitive, whether you are looking for the secrets of lost civilizations or probing a thorny psychological problem. What you read, watch, think about or discuss is apt to contain these elements. You can also be quite a convincing speaker but beware of overstating your case. Your words are potent now. Oct 1, 2004 9 AM(Sep 30, 2004 to Oct 2, 2004) Ven Sqr Sat Feeling deprived, excluded, lonely, or distant from the people who love you may occur now. It could be a cooling off period in a relationship, or a critical moment that tests its strength. Tending your hurt feelings without indulging in self-pity or one-sided blame is important. You may also meet obstacles or self-doubt in regard to some creative project you're in the midst of. Try to work on the flaws or weak aspects of it without considering the whole endeavor a failure. Take a break! Oct 2, 2004 6 PM(Oct 1, 2004 to Oct 4, 2004) Mars Sxtil Plu Your passion, zeal, and inner courage are intensified now, making you enormously effective. You are super-motivated and can tackle tough challenges with confidence. You may take something old and completely re-do, re-make, revise, or renew it. Your creative power is flowing! Oct 3, 2004 3 PM(Oct 2, 2004 to Oct 4, 2004) Ven Sqr Ura Some tension between being independent and being close or intimately involved could arise now. A need for some personal space or an urge to temporarily disengage and go off on your own may be part of this, or a friend or partner may express those needs. A last-minute change of plans, or some other unexpected event, challenges your ability to stay connected; a sudden break or a quick beginning to a new friendship or romance is equally likely. Oct 3, 2004 9 PM(Oct 2, 2004 to Oct 4, 2004) Sun Sxtil Sun This is time of flow and ease of expression. You feel energetically supported and your offerings to the world are welcomed. Relationships with men are highlighted and are apt to be mutually beneficial. Oct 4, 2004 5 PM(Oct 4, 2004 to Oct 5, 2004) Merc Sxtil Sun Clear thinking and an easy flow of communication make this a good day to present your ideas in writing or in person to take an exam, to learn something new, to initiate discussions or conduct a meeting. The pace of life is quickened and everyday business flows smoothly, especially casual interactions. Oct 6, 2004 10 PM(Oct 6, 2004 to Oct 7, 2004) Merc Trine Jup Your mind is positive and you are thinking in broader terms at the moment. Your intuition and sense of future trends is keen. Commercial ventures and transactions, communicating to a wider audience, teaching or learning, and making sound decisions based on seeing the bigger picture is the focus now. Send and receive inspiring messages. Oct 7, 2004 6 PM(Oct 7, 2004 to Oct 8, 2004) Merc Oppos Mars You may be challenged to defend your ideas, plans, or methods at this time. Thinking on your feet and rapid responses will be necessary, and a few hot words may be exchanged. Certainly you can elect to keep a cool head and avoid unnecessary verbal confrontation, but it will take some effort now. Wear soothing, cool colors like blue or lavender, and avoid red! Oct 7, 2004 6 PM(Oct 6, 2004 to Oct 8, 2004) Sun Trine Jup Your best self shines forth and you radiate an expectation of success, which can open many doors for you at this time. You are drawn to the people, places, ideas, or information that can profit you the most, and whatever comes to you now is apt to be of benefit. Extending yourself, widening your comfort zone, reaching out, and acting on your intuition enables you to make the most of this fortuitous moment. Oct 8, 2004 (Oct 8, 2004 to Oct 22, 2004) Merc 12th H. This is a period to observe, reflect, and consider the whole picture, or facets of things that you normally minimize or ignore. You may be getting messages from your intuition via dreams, feelings, or strange sensations that you would be wise to attend to. You also want to mull over and digest the information that comes to you now and are thus disinclined to come up with a ready answer or quick repartee. Your silence or reticence could be misinterpreted, so make it clear that you are thinking things through. Oct 9, 2004 3 AM(Oct 8, 2004 to Oct 10, 2004) Merc Sxtil MC Clarity, objectivity, and a smooth flow of communication makes this an excellent time to reach a decision and/or tell others of a decision you've come to. Ideas come flooding in now, too, and you're able to assimilate all kinds of new information. All learning, teaching, or intellectual activities are favored. Oct 9, 2004 7 AM(Oct 8, 2004 to Oct 10, 2004) Sun Oppos Mars A battle of wills or simply the stress of an overly pushy, ambitious, hurried approach can make this an unpleasant time, even if you "win" or achieve what you wanted to. Strong ego drives are activated now, and it would be best to moderate yourself if you don't want to arouse antagonism. Aim for your personal best rather than competing with others. Vigorous sports can be a good expression for strong energies that need to come out, but beware of over-exerting yourself. Oct 11, 2004 (Oct 10, 2004 to Nov 2, 2004) Sun 12th H. You're in the background now, quite possibly by choice. You may need extra downtime, or be a little fuzzy and diffused. This is a period of rest, and physical and emotional replenishment, not the best moment to press forward. Oct 11, 2004 1 PM(Oct 10, 2004 to Oct 12, 2004) Ven Conj Ven Your power of attraction is strongly magnified today, and you may draw a special friendship, romance, or other gift into your life. This could be the beginning of a beautiful new love or the time to reestablish the heart connection between yourself and a beloved. Intimate sharing, pleasure, and simply being in love is what matters to you. The beauties of flowers, the earth, and all of your senses are intensified. Visit a garden, perfumery, or chocolatier. Wear shades of rose, pink, or soft greens to heighten the effect. Oct 11, 2004 3 PM(Oct 10, 2004 to Oct 12, 2004) Sun Sxtil MC The force is with you, go for your personal best! Father figures or those in a position to help you further your aims are encouraging and receptive to what you propose. Back up your words with action, follow through with a solid effort, and expect success. This is an ideal time to express what you really want, to show some style, and let the world know who you are. Oct 12, 2004 12 PM(Oct 11, 2004 to Oct 13, 2004) Ven Sxtil Asc A pleasant, affectionate, relaxed, or courteous attitude eases your interactions now, and may open doors or help lighten troubled situations that you've been working with lately. You can attract what you want and need, rather than pursue it forcefully or do it all yourself. This is an excellent time to go out on a date or ask someone for a favor, because you make a decidedly positive impression at the moment. Oct 13, 2004 4 AM(Oct 12, 2004 to Oct 14, 2004)Merc Sxtil Moon Conversations with women, with family, and with people you are especially close to or have a long history with are going well now. By listening as well as sharing your own experiences and feelings, you deepen your rapport and connection. Telling stories, reminiscing, and discussing what is in your soul can be very rewarding. You are likely not only to hear, but to understand. Personal letter writing or journaling would also be fruitful activities. Oct 13, 2004 4 AM(Oct 12, 2004 to Oct 14, 2004) Merc Sqr Merc Intellectual bantering or a difference of opinion may create some friction now, but you can gain objectivity and another way of seeing something. You may be restless, curious, and in need of intellectual stimulation, or feel a bit overstimulated and nervous. You don't need caffeine! Slow down a little, especially in traffic. Oct 13, 2004 7 AM(Oct 11, 2004 to Oct 14, 2004)Mars Sxtil Sun Your positive, outgoing, action-oriented, "yang" energy is stimulated now. You won't want to be contained or sitting still for long periods; vigorous sports, outdoor adventures, and physical expression are indicated instead. You are the favorite for any competitive activity you're engaged in, and you're apt to make whatever you do now a race or contest! Oct 14, 2004 7 AM(Oct 13, 2004 to Oct 15, 2004)Merc Qucnx Sat You tend to see road blocks and obstacles, or come up against skepticism and doubt from within yourself or from others. Listen to the voice of prudence and caution, and do not attempt to press forward. Instead, pull back and see the flaws that can be worked on. Focus on repairs, strengthening weak areas, cleaning up and refining your presentation. Beware of letting negative voices dampen your spirits, however. Oct 14, 2004 (Oct 9, 2004 to Oct 19, 2004) Jup Sxtil Plu During this time you have the opportunity to connect with people and/or ideas that can vastly improve your life or significantly further your cause. Sharing information and power, being exposed to transformational teaching or healing methods, or bringing a powerful message to others is emphasized. Working in harmony within a group, an organization, or for the benefit or your community is favored now. You can make meaningful changes or contributions that are deeply satisfying. Educational, professional, spiritual or philosophical growth and development are featured. Positive Potentials: Remarkable improvement, growth, and positive developments in all arenas. Turning around a difficult, thorny problem through faith and positive action. Important alliances with wise, experienced, or powerful people. Negative Potentials: You may have to deal with an old, outstanding legal or personal problem, but with good will and positive action these can be favorably resolved. Remedies and Suggestions: Take advantage of the opportunities to educate yourself, meet people outside of your usual social circle or little world, and ask for the help you need. Be willing to offer something and meet others halfway, and you'll be amply rewarded. Oct 15, 2004 9 PM(Oct 15, 2004 to Oct 16, 2004)Merc Qucnx Ura Making or hearing comments that provoke controversy, feeling unusually impatient with others' slowness, impulsive movements or a sudden change of direction can challenge you today. Beware of acting out of nervous haste or tactlessly blurting something out that you can't take back. Instead, consciously slow yourself down, breathe deep into your middle, and relax the tension in your head or jaws - then proceed. Oct 16, 2004 8 AM(Oct 15, 2004 to Oct 17, 2004) Ven Sqr Jup You may find it hard to stay on task today or to do any unpleasant, demanding work. Tendencies toward excess extravagance, self-indulgence or laziness are amplified now. On the plus side, you can enjoy yourself quite a lot, especially around people. You're generous, playful, good-humored - even lucky! Oct 17, 2004 2 PM(Oct 16, 2004 to Oct 18, 2004)Ven Qucnx Mars Sexual tension or disagreements with people of the opposite gender arise now. You may want more than the other person is able or willing to give, or one of you may want togetherness and collaboration while the other prefers to be more independent. Compromises, adjustments, and working with the differences can bring about a satisfying balance, but it can be difficult to acquiesce when desires are so compelling. In any case, encounters with a definite erotic tone are part of the picture. Wear soft shades of pink, rose, or light green to ease dissonant tendencies. Oct 18, 2004 11 AM(Oct 17, 2004 to Oct 19, 2004)Sun Sxtil Moon You enjoy being around both men and women at this time and, in fact, you need to be with others, especially those you know pretty well and trust. Having a sense of familiarity and comfort in your surroundings and interactions boosts your confidence. Everyday relationships are supportive and warm at the moment. Oct 18, 2004 11 AM(Oct 17, 2004 to Oct 19, 2004) Sun Sqr Merc You are apt to be busy, moving around a lot, and interacting with people on the go. You have quite a bit of mental energy and may be restless if you have to be stationary for too long. Lots of ideas are being batted back and forth. Conflicting views and opinions serve to clarify your own thinking. Seek compromises on inconsequential matters. Oct 18, 2004 12 PM(Oct 17, 2004 to Oct 19, 2004) Merc Sqr Plu Your conversations and interactions take on an intensity you normally wouldn't expect from casual encounters. You or another person may reveal something very personal and private, or bring up deep topics that are rarely discussed. Very strong views, bordering on the fanatical, or thoughts expressed with a lot of emotion may stir up resistance. You can be keenly insightful now, but beware of forcing any kind of agenda onto those around you. Oct 19, 2004 4 AM(Oct 17, 2004 to Oct 20, 2004)Mars Trine Jup Enthusiasm, confidence, and verve infuse your efforts now, almost guaranteeing a positive outcome. Your instincts, as well as your sense of direction and timing, are excellent! Risk-taking, engaging and inspiring others to support you, and taking action to realize a big goal are favored. Oct 20, 2004 9 AM(Oct 19, 2004 to Oct 21, 2004) Sun Qucnx Sat You may feel somewhat diminished or discouraged now, perhaps from a rejection or other disheartening event. In any case, no quick or immediate satisfaction is likely now. It's best to slow down, conserve your energy, and simply get to work on what needs to be done. Rather than blame the world for thwarting you, attend to your immediate obligations. Do something to organize and bring order to your environment or practical affairs. You'll feel better if you can make some concrete progress, no matter how small. Oct 21, 2004 11 AM(Oct 19, 2004 to Oct 22, 2004)Mars Oppos Mars Your energies run hot and you could risk driving yourself too hard and burning yourself and others with too much passion or anger. Minor annoyances may feel like major aggravations; unexpressed frustration or hostility may erupt into the open; pushing, hurrying, or forcing things can lead to trouble. Slow down and cool down on every level: take the pedal off the metal, consciously slow your movements, drink or immerse yourself in cool water, avoid people and situations you know have the potential to rouse your ire. Observe how touchy and aggressive your ego tends to be right now, as if every thing that doesn't go your way is a personal affront, and have a good laugh at yourself ! Oct 21, 2004 5 PM(Oct 21, 2004 to Oct 22, 2004)Merc Sxtil Ven Communicating affection and appreciation come easily to you today. You speak personably and pleasantly now, making even casual interactions sweet. By overlooking superficial differences and focusing on harmonizing and understanding, you build bridges between yourself and others or between two parties who have been at odds. This is also a wonderful time to send flowers, write a love letter, or to discuss matters of aesthetics and personal style. Heavy topics will wait for another day. Oct 21, 2004 (Oct 20, 2004 to Nov 13, 2004) Ven 11th H. Friendship is a significant focus for you during this cycle. Promoting close relationships in your community, creating bridges between people and between various organizations, or making your little part of the world more beautiful and friendly would be gratifying for you now. Artistic, musical, or literary friendships and alliances are favored. Differences and discordant tendencies between people are minimized during this period. Oct 22, 2004 10 AM(Oct 21, 2004 to Oct 23, 2004) Merc Conj Asc You initiate contact and take the lead in discussions, meetings, interviews, or classes. Openly sharing your ideas and information, or being a messenger for some kind of news, is featured. Mentally sharp and alert, this is a good time to learn or gather information you'll need later. Oct 22, 2004 (Oct 21, 2004 to Nov 11, 2004) Merc 1st H. Your physical and mental energies are quickened now and you prefer to be mobile and making contact with the world rather than anchored to one location or task. You're ready to share your thoughts on a variety of subjects, and you do this well at this time. Making presentations, negotiating and discussing options, and getting your point of view across in a clear, direct manner are emphasized. Oct 22, 2004 9 PM(Oct 22, 2004 to Oct 23, 2004) Merc Sqr Sun Opening up lines of communication, actively initiating discussions, and conducting business over the telephone, by email, or through the written word is the theme of the day. You are clear and factual, and probably more chatty than usual. You may be inundated with phone calls or be running around a lot as well. It may be hard for you to sit still. A busy day! Oct 22, 2004 11 PM(Oct 21, 2004 to Oct 23, 2004) Sun Qucnx Ura Minor shake-ups, mishaps, or aberrations from your normal routine require you to be on your toes, or you could feel restless and create a stir yourself. You're less compliant, obedient, and patient with arbitrary rules. If you can, break your usual patterns in small ways, like dressing less formally or showing some eccentricity. Oct 24, 2004 (Oct 23, 2004 to Nov 26, 2004) Mars 12th H. You may be needing more downtime, recuperation or recovery from a period of intense activity and outward focus. Working alone on some private passion could be just the medicine you need. Or, you may not be motivated, and feel like doing nothing. This is, indeed, a resting time, good for incubating dreams and projects but not the best moment to launch them. Oct 25, 2004 12 AM(Oct 23, 2004 to Oct 26, 2004) Mars Sxtil MC You take a proactive, assertive, and eager attitude toward challenges and your ambitions. You could impress superiors with your vigor, as you are willing to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes. Opportunities to advance your standing or achieve a desire come to you now. Green light! Oct 25, 2004 5 AM(Oct 24, 2004 to Oct 26, 2004) Ven Sqr Moon You need pampering and tender loving care right now, not because you aren't well but because you simply crave it. Indulging yourself with treats, sweets, shopping, or whatever gives you comfort may be hard to resist. This is a good time to schedule a massage, hairstyling appointment, or a play date with your kids or a very good friend. However, try to avoid being too needy or demanding with them. Oct 25, 2004 5 AM(Oct 24, 2004 to Oct 26, 2004)Ven Sxtil Merc Pleasantries, humor, and a light touch sweeten your interactions today. You have an extra measure of tact and charm when talking on the phone, writing letters, or meeting people and you tend to veer away from controversial or unpleasant topics. Your mind may be pleasantly lazy. Light romantic comedies, "fun" fiction, and a break from serious striving appeal to you. Social or cultural events are favored. Oct 25, 2004 9 AM(Oct 24, 2004 to Oct 26, 2004)Merc Qucnx Jup Community or world events, long-range trends, or a desire for wider contact with the world occupies your mind right now. You may feel the urge to make travel plans, to attend a cross-cultural event, or simply to move around more. It may be harder for you to sit still for a long period, or engage in tedious or exacting mental work. You could overlook critical details. Break up your day with humorous interludes, a long distance phone call, or by emailing your faraway friends. Oct 25, 2004 1 PM(Oct 24, 2004 to Oct 26, 2004) Ven Conj Nep Love yearnings, especially for an idealized or romantic or spiritual kind of love, are awakened now, perhaps by a film or some other artistic image. You need and respond strongly to beauty, aesthetics, the arts, the ocean, poetry, music. Your tender side comes to the fore, too, and you might be moved to adopt a stray dog, cat, or needy person. You may confuse pity with personal attraction or be especially indulgent with people, also. Oct 26, 2004 8 AM(Oct 25, 2004 to Oct 27, 2004)Merc Qucnx Mars You may be challenged to defend your ideas, plans, or methods at this time. Thinking on your feet and rapid responses will be necessary, and a few hot words may be exchanged. Certainly you can elect to keep a cool head and avoid unnecessary verbal confrontation, but it will take some effort now. Wear soothing, cool colors like blue or lavender, and avoid red! Oct 26, 2004 7 PM(Oct 25, 2004 to Oct 27, 2004) Ven Trine Sat Worries and pressures are eased now, especially if you've been overworking and neglecting your friends. You can lighten up a bit, relax, remember how to smile. You may seek out someone who is a bit older than you or a reliable long time pal to spend some time with. Your money sense is quite sound at the moment so if you're considering a purchase or investment, this is an auspicious day to do that. Oct 27, 2004 5 AM(Oct 26, 2004 to Oct 28, 2004) Sun Sqr Plu An encounter or incident (whether you are a witness or a participant) may force you to look at something you would normally avoid, and you may have unusually strong feelings about it. Buried emotions and old scars may come up. If so, it's an opportunity for you to gain awareness and to relinquish old grudges, and to make peace with yourself. Something that has been hidden or in the dark comes up now. Oct 27, 2004 9 PM(Oct 27, 2004 to Oct 28, 2004) Merc Sqr MC Intelligently organizing, planning, or taking care of correspondence would be wise now. The more uncluttered and systematic you are, the more good ideas, decisions, and directions can emerge. Speaking with a parent or elder and getting their perspective, or working something through with them, is also useful now. Oct 28, 2004 11 PM(Oct 28, 2004 to Oct 29, 2004) Ven Trine Ura This is an excellent time to meet new people, to try on a more daring, updated, or unconventional style, and to break out of your usual social circle. Improvise, be spontaneous, and don't be afraid to show your eccentricities or unusual taste. You can wake up and reinvigorate a love relationship that's become too predictable or stale. Loosen up and remember what it's like to play! Nov 1, 2004 (Oct 5, 2004 to Dec 12, 2004) Sat Sxtil Sat Patience, perseverance, and holding firm are called for now.

Think in terms of building a base. Nov 15, 2004 (Oct 5, 2004 to Dec 12, 2004) Sat Sxtil Sat This astrological influence (Sat Sxtil Sat) also occurred on Nov 1, 2004 (peak date).
