Quite possibly this is the worst Monday you‘ve experienced in a long time. You don‘t want to face the world, share your skills, talk to your loved ones or do any of the things that usually bring you joy. You‘re in a fickle, frivolous mood that has you wanting to explore places like the mall, or the golf range instead of dragging yourself to the office. Expect to take some extended lunches or to blow off work entirely, but not only that you‘re blowing off friends, entertaining yourself with strangers more than spending time with people who know you. You want new surroundings, something different, but you‘re undecided about what exactly you want. Venus moves into Scorpio on Friday, which helps you figure out what you don‘t want, but does absolutely nothing for your weekend. You‘re still in that fog where you don‘t know what you want to do with yourself, and you don‘t know who you want to be around. Maybe just for this week it‘s okay for you to be the lone wolf. Ascendant: Sometimes we‘re all the wanderer.

Sometimes you see the world as a serious of puzzles, there are ones you do at work all the time, repetitive, simple tasks that you can handle without a lot of thought. There are ones within your friend circle that are sometimes easy to figure out depending on the friend, and sometimes more difficult if they‘re a deep, quality person you enjoy spending time with. Then there‘s your personal life and the people closest to you and sometimes the puzzles that come with these people are the most frustrating because pieces are worn, missing, or broken and no matter how hard you try you can‘t see the full puzzle for what it is. You have to learn to accept the flaws in order to reach happiness with these people. Suffice to say the work week is quick and effortless, but it‘s the evenings and late nights with your partner that is more difficult for you. The weekend brings Venus moving into Scorpio, giving you more desire to fix all the broken pieces so you can achieve a wholesome relationship. Ascendant: Sometimes it‘s not broken, it‘s just not what you envisioned

You know if you mother saw your house, desk, or office the first thing she‘d tell you do is clean it up. I realize it‘s an organized mess, but your creativity is on overload this week and if your boss is looking for pragmatic, concrete work you‘re simply not going to deliver. It‘s also suffice to say that when it comes to your love life you‘re not making any decisions right now because you can‘t let the creative bubble burst. You‘re desperate to hang onto this clarity, sharpness and articulate mind as opposed to shutting it down for practicality and common sense. This makes the week challenging as it‘s pretty imperative you get your day to day tasks done, and that you at least clean up some of the garbage in the office. Leave the array of post it notes and scribbles on napkins where they are, but all the fast food contains from the local Chinese place? Yeah, just trash those. In terms of people you‘re spending time with this week, I know you‘re choosing the people who fascinate and excite you, but remember your boundaries. Good clean fun doesn‘t lead to complications. Over the weekend you know a lot more about what you don‘t want because Venus moves into Scorpio and that energy is great for sorting out what is not helping your creativity. Stability might be a thing for another week. Ascendant: You‘re acting erratic and weird this week, but it‘s okay, most people are used to it.

If you could build a time machine and go back to a decade where people actually cared for others, where relationships were real and nobody ever said YOLO unless they were referring to some brand of ice cream, you‘d be happier. You‘re really sick of being in positions both at work and on the home front whereby what you think is a good start to a long term relationship is really just casual and that your skills aren‘t needed on a full time basis, or that what you are needed for is something anyone can do and doesn‘t speak to your compassionate nature whatsoever. You get it, there‘s a ton of "someone‘s gotta do it" jobs out there, but why does that someone always have to be you? On the home front you‘re simply not feeling the love. You feel ignored, a lot like a maid and less like a part of your own family than ever before. There‘s too much work and not enough nurturing. This continues into the weekend which feels a lot like Monday than Saturday and Sunday. Ascendant: You‘re all about doing what needs to be done, but this is too much.

Sometimes you do believe that dreams can come true. November is always a month of change for you, which leads into December, a month of personal spiritual discovery and appreciation for the magic that exists in the world around you. You don‘t find the need to escape to another world because the holiday decorations are out, you‘re brainstorming gift ideas and turning up the charisma on both the work and home fronts. You‘ll be out shopping this week when you‘re not toiling away at work, often times going above and beyond the call of duty because you know that sometimes that‘s what it takes to be considered awesome and a valuable team player. You might want to toot your horn this week and call yourself the most valuable team player, but that might actually be accurate. Towards the weekend you‘re moving your focus from gifts for co-workers to gifts for friends, family and children in your life, attempting to find both inexpensive, but memorable and special gifts. You‘re not always about luxury, especially when it comes to other people, and the times you have splurged on yourself you‘ve come to regret it. Ascendant: Be savvy, mate.

You sometimes envy those around you, not because they‘re harder or smarter workers but because they‘ve got a streak for creativity and frivolity that you don‘t simply possess. They can brainstorm ideas that you can‘t fathom. Most of your ideas come from practical assessments of risks involved. You‘re not always one to take big risks but when you do, it‘s because you feel passionately about the project you‘re working on and you‘re convinced it will work out. Sadly though, you‘re apt to fail when it comes to financial risks, and gambling has always been a particular weakness of yours. This week you‘ll be listening to the wonderful ideas of the people around you, playing devil‘s advocate when necessary but gaining a personal passion for an idea that might actually come into fruition more than other pipe dreams you‘ve had. When Venus moves into Scorpio on Friday you‘d rather skip the weekend and get started on the project, but you‘re forced to spend a couple days in your pajamas acting like a kid a few days before Christmas, anxious to open your presents. You can rest assured that this project will take time, and that Rome wasn‘t built in a day. Ascendant: Slow down enough to be practical

No kidding you don‘t want to go to work this week. It‘s very obvious that work doesn‘t know what to do with you, but vice versa, you don‘t know what you want to do with it. It stands to reason, however, that spending any further time in unemployment limbo won‘t help you do fundamental things like pay bills, so it‘s technically in your best interest to go to work, do the jobs they give you, even if you find them degrading, boring or below your pay grade. If it‘s doing the fundamental thing of bringing money into your life, that‘s all that matters. In the meantime, you need to figure out what kind of work you‘d prefer doing, dream a little, brainstorm a bit, and really get down to the nitty gritty, because, let‘s face it, every job has its boring, menial, below the pay grade tasks associated with it. Unless you‘re the boss, in which case other people can do the menial tasks for you and you can pick and choose what you want to do. By the end of the week, Venus moves into Scorpio which amplifies your anger towards the way your life is. You don‘t just have the indecisiveness on the work front, but on the home front as well, trying to determine whether to say or go, if the situation you‘re in is the one you want to be in, and most of all, whether there‘s more out there for you in the great wide unknown. Over the weekend you‘re aggravating yourself with these ponderous questions, trying to solve the age old puzzle: where do I belong?Ascendant: Are you sure you want to find out that you‘re not living up to your potential?

You‘re having the most productive Monday ever, the only that slows you down is having to wait on other people to finish their work so you can continue kicking ass and taking names. Seriously, you‘re like the Chuck Norris of work. In other news, it‘s like all you know how to do is your job, which is a shame because when there is no more work to do, you power down like an AI (artificial intelligence) robot, instead of transforming into a normal human being that knows how to make small talk and drink coffee. Sometimes you don‘t even like coffee, possibly some specialty protein, vegan, ginseng drink that serves to fuel your alien/robot body, but definitely not something the rest of us are used to. If you manage to make it through the week without raising the eyebrows of everyone you work with I will be surprised, and I might offer you $10.00 off a reading, because you might need it. Come the weekend you‘re confused about this silly little thing called love, even with Venus in Scorpio you‘re feeling cautious like love is the enemy, it‘s that thing forcing you to be vulnerable and weak and you simply cannot allow anyone to see the chinks in your armor. Sometimes you have to get over yourself and let people in, let them see the flaws, otherwise they‘re going to keep throwing captcha codes at you and wondering why you‘re so good at solving them because hey, it usually takes me (a real human) three or four times with some of them.Ascendant: Don‘t forget to be yourself, the true you.

That‘s classy, your boss called everyone else out on a job well done, and forgot to mention you. You‘re used to being forgotten, shoved aside or skipped over, but when it‘s so close to your birthday, and the holidays are invading all the shopping centers and whoever gets you the cheesy box of chocolates that doubles as a holiday gift for your birthday, you can‘t help but get a little crabby . . . and loud. Expect to spend the week speaking up for yourself, reminding people you exist, reminding them that they can still buy normal boxes of chocolates to give you as an actual birthday present, they don‘t have to choose the holiday decorated ones. People can learn to be decent around you, because you‘re standing up for yourself, putting up boundaries and telling people how you want to be treated. You‘re doing the best you can at work, and struggling through responsibilities at home because the humanitarian in you took on a little more than you can chew with side projects and hey it‘s a you thing, people get used to it. When Venus enters Scorpio over the weekend you‘re learning how to finish projects and not take more on. When people ask if you can do more, the answer is no, instead of maybe, or you‘ll see what you can do. You know at this point and the answer is nope! Ascendant: Learning to stand up for yourself is important

You‘re taking a step back this week because you feel like you‘ve done it all, been there, done that, seen it, achieved it, and you need a moment to refocus to figure out what next. It‘s an amazing thing to see people not only making goals for themselves but constantly reaching those goals. You‘re looking back on past achievements, marveling at how far you‘ve come in the short time you‘ve occupied Earth, and wondering how you‘re going to outdo yourself, or what will bring you the highest form of happiness at this juncture in your life. Some of you may feel the need to leave the work force, heading to early retirement, spending more time on hobbies and passions. Others may want to drastically change their career, others might be heading back to school to learn more. Whatever journey you end up choosing, you will do it this week. When Venus moves into Scorpio you spend the weekend troubleshooting your plan for practicality, resourcefulness and viability, tinkering and tweaking it until you have something sound. Ascendant: When one adventure ends, another begins

You are the proverbial sloth this week, preferring to hang up the skates and crawl into your nice warm bed and dream until your dreams come true. You realize as much as everyone else that if all you ever do is dream your dreams will never come true, but you‘re not keen on making a go at this getting up, eating something, getting dressed and heading off to work thing. You‘ll need a good dose of caffeine and something to keep you motivated throughout the day and you‘ve all but exhausted your muses recently. The world is bleak, storm filled land without many possibilities. Your pessimism doesn‘t win you any favors this week, because you‘d rather sulk, complain and dodge work more than anything else. You‘ll likely do enough to keep the job, but when it comes to after work and your interactions with family and friends it‘s simply impossible for you to be coherent, or cheerful, or even helpful. You want to go back to your cesspool of personal sludge and host a pity party until sun breaks through the windows and you‘re forced to believe in the world again. The weekend is a blessing because it means you don‘t have to wear pants all weekend and you can eat as much pie as you want. Be careful when it comes to your loved ones, they don‘t like you when you‘re channeling your inner Eeyore. Ascendant: We get it, life is just okay, there are always clouds.

You‘re not always sure if you‘ve got it made, but sometimes it certainly feels like you do. The week starts off with more creativity than you can fathom, pushing even you to the limits of your imagination. You wish work was like this more of the time, where you can be yourself, dream bigger dreams, and live in your own little world without people constantly questioning it. It seems that for the most part, people want to live on your side of the fence for a change, and you‘re okay with letting them believe they can be part of your world. Come the weekend you‘re turning up the heat in your relationship, focusing on doing the things you love instead of depriving yourself of the basic necessities. It‘s okay if you need to build a skating rink in your backyard so you can ice skate all winter if that‘s something that makes you happy then don‘t be ashamed about doing it. You need to learn how to bring the fantasy world inside your mind to the real world you live in on the outside. It would really help you function like this every week instead of once in a while when planets align properly and energy is favorable. Ascendant: Learn how to feel like this all of the time, not just some of the time.
