STARS WEEK 12 OCTOBER
October 12th, 2008

Shelley von Strunckel is a world-renowned astrologer. She writes for many high-profile newspapers and magazines around the world which include The Sunday Times in the UK, London Evening Standard (UK), Gulf News, Times of India, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post, and British and French Vogue magazine, among others. Shelley is referred to as “the thinking person’s astrologers”. She has a groundbreaking approach to astrology and her particular strength is explaining astrology’s cycles understandably.

ARIES

March 20 — April 18

You shouldn’t exactly ignore the problems that accompany Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which finally ends on Wednesday. Just do the minimum. That ensures you won’t be unnecessarily encumbered when Tuesday’s Aries Full Moon brings what are, ultimately, far more important issues to a head. These are personal, involve close relationships and the future, and could transform elements of your life that seem just plain stuck.

TAURUS

April 19 — May 19

You resist accepting that certain arrangements you care about passionately just aren’t up to you. Actually, however, letting go will free you to concentrate on less exciting, but as important, activities involving various complex arrangements – personal, professional or burdensome obligations. Get more involved now and you could reorganise these so that they not only suit you, you’re actually pleased with them.

GEMINI

May 20 — June 19

Theoretically, as your ruler Mercury ends its retrograde cycle on Wednesday, a confusing cycle ends. The past weeks have dredged up both long forgotten issues and those you’d regarded as unimportant, particularly when it comes to those people and activities you’re passionate about. So while things may be somewhat less chaotic, feelings will still be running high and there’ll be lots to learn.

CANCER

June 20 — July 21

For the past three weeks, your life’s been a jumble. But now that you’re looking back on what’s been discovered, discussed and dealt with, you’re stunned by what’s been achieved. Keep this in mind, because while there’s more of the same, this last gasp of drama is about turning mere promising plans into something spectacular – and lasting. Knowing that, you’ll smile all the way.

LEO

July 22 — August 21

Ordinarily you’d fight for what or who you believe in. But obstacles invite you to rethink both long-standing plans and existing commitments, even those you’re passionate about. While Tuesday’s Full Moon brings things to an emotional peak, events on the same day introduce options that you’ve regarded as unachievable dreams. Perhaps they once were. Now, however, they could become part of your life.

VIRGO

August 22 — September 21

Life’s complicated. Acknowledge that, and when you resolve one problem, to discover that it won’t fit with other, recently organised, solutions, you won’t worry. With your ruler Mercury ending its retrograde cycle on Wednesday, things begin to make sense. So examine the image of your life that’s emerging from the recent chaos and you’ll realise that, demanding as changes have been, you’ll be far happier.

LIBRA

September 22 — October 22

Mercury went retrograde in Libra in late September, and since then you’ve had an education, both in terms of hard facts – and patience. Efforts to force issues, even subtly, went wrong. Between Tuesday’s Full Moon and Mercury going direct on Wednesday, the tide turns. Still, since it may take weeks before calm is restored, the knack you’ve developed for withstanding upheavals will come in handy.

SCORPIO

October 23 — November 20

As you’re a bit of a control freak, this week’s chaos could make you anxious. But nobody has any more power than you. So let go, yet remain involved enough to keep up to date on developments. This is particularly important because in the run up to the Scorpio New Moon, on the 28th, the focus is on what’s going far more than the future.

SAGITTARIUS

November 21 — December 20

Chaotic as the past weeks have been, you’ve only experienced minor frustrations. You’re flexible about change – even disruptive developments – so have regarded setbacks as a chance to focus on other pursuits. Now things reach a turning point and, again, what others regard as a crisis rather excites you. Try to be sympathetic. But meanwhile, think carefully how these are best taken advantage of.

CAPRICORN

December 21 – January 19

Obviously you’d rather know exactly what you’re dealing with before you commit to anything. But you want reassurance, and during this week’s first half, it’s in short supply. Between Tuesday’s Full Moon and Mercury ending its retrograde cycle on Wednesday, sudden developments upend plans yet again. Still, by the week’s close, when calm’s been restored, you’ll realise just how worthwhile those changes were.

AQUARIUS

January 20 — February 18

Extraordinary ideas or offers come your way, but you’re unlikely to recognise them for what they are at the time. That’s partly because with Mercury resuming forward motion on Wednesday, confusion’s inevitable. Even more important, however, is that what appearing is a very real departure from what you’ve been thinking about, so could seem uninteresting or even unrealistic. That being the case, explore absolutely everything.

PISCES

February 19 — March 19

Concealed in this week’s chaos will be stunning opportunities, some the result of considerable efforts on your part and others complete – but welcome – surprises. But with Mercury ending its retrograde cycle on Wednesday, twists and turns influence everybody, and many must be dealt with urgently. Still, take time to focus on your own life and options, and what you discover could be miraculous.
