The stars are well aligned for a weekend of costumes, sweets, and treats. If Halloween isn’t your thing, there’s no shortage of ways to indulge—and if it strikes your fancy, you can still play dress-up (wink, wink!).

You’ll get an extra hour to sleep on Sunday, but the day has plans even if you don’t. The transiting Cancer moon is in the mood for a bit more action than Saturday will deliver. Still, it should be a relatively smooth move-along.

After two-plus months in Libra, Mercury now makes a quick two-plus-weeks sprint through Scorpio. Mercury in Libra tackled the balance beam of social politics, relationships, and money matters. To November 20, Mercury in Scorpio will keep a finger on the pulse of what’s weak or flawed, what’s missing, and what’s most lucrative. Both the sun and Mercury in sharp-eyed Scorpio are especially adept at locating what’s key and essential for us to know and to grow. They call for a fuller commitment to the desired and necessary turnaround. Yes, it’s the right time for a power play.

On Monday, Venus and Mars in Virgo begin a new work-it-out and self-improvement chapter. This is an auspicious transit for the start of a new job, health regimen, or training program. There are repairs, upgrades, and adjustments to be made; something unfinished to tend to; a refining and healing process to get through. Set yourself to task or be forced. Either way, mid-March completes the first quarter of this two-year syllabus.
