This may well be the strangest week of your life, which is saying a lot for a Scorpio. But it will lack nothing for intrigue, surprise turns of events and entertainment value — if you can keep a little detachment and give people space to work out their stuff. There is, however, one thing not to compromise on, which is integrity. Family Focus: Learn about your own psychology from how children behave.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 12
(The Day of Sensual Charisma) | Get Your Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You seem to have the ability and desire to express your emotional needs in relationship to a group of people. Better yet, it looks like you can do so fairly, in alignment with some higher philosophy or guiding principle that you aspire to. Yet how do you know where the line is between ‘assertively contentious’ and ‘simply speaking your truth’? Stay in touch with your humanity (empathy), your responsibility for your emotions and the idea of cooperation, and discerning the difference should be easier.
Written in the Planets
Although Venus — one influence on emotions — moves into the more restrained sign of Capricorn today, we’re still drawing toward an emotional and energetic peak. That would be Monday’s Full Moon. For some, the instinctive response to heightened emotions or confrontation is to withdraw and avoid. Yet other factors in the sky indicate that allowing some form of emotional flow (especially around any secrets, sexual themes, financial questions or a sense of loss) could be quite healing. It might help to seek some creative or artistic outlet for that release; anything you’d consider to be a process of ‘documenting’ counts. With Mercury entering Sagittarius today as well, you may notice that a sense of the big picture emerges to help you along — but keep the details in view, too.

Remember that Capricorn is a cardinal sign, which implies expression. Capricorn is devilish, earthy and feminine. Venus in early Cap is Aries Point territory, which magnifies and amplifies. People with strong Cap in their charts “fancy themselves conservative” but this is in the style of having wild sex with your socks on so you’re not really naked. Just take off your socks and remember not to fold them. Throw them onto the floor and keep going.
Bugger. The secret’s out 😉
