The general horoscope
Two people meet in a doorway. Both step aside, then both step the same way, and for a second they stand face to face with nowhere else to look. Today the Sun crosses into Scorpio and meets Venus right at the door. Venus is retrograde, halfway through her backward walk, and this is the middle of it: the moment a want stands in full light and cannot pass for something else. Whatever you have been circling since early October, a person, a purchase, a promise made to yourself, shows its face. Give it a long look first. The Sun is also squaring up to Pluto, so the urge to settle the matter by force is strong. Settle nothing. The Moon, almost full in Pisces beside Neptune, sextiles Pluto, and the evening is soft enough to admit what you want without acting on it. Wanting is information. It is not an order. At the pond the frog sometimes meets the heron on the same narrow stone. Nobody moves for a while. No minute of the week is more honest.
