An Initiator Where The Grass Seems Greener...

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming week, you can generate a lot
of good karma for yourself by being an initiator. That's why I advise you
to never sit back passively and merely watch what's unfolding, but rather
formulate a vision of what you'd like to see happen, set your intention to
make it happen, and then plunge into action with brisk aplomb. Halloween
costume suggestions: fire-starter, seed-planter, fertility god or goddess.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Medical insurance is out of reach for 46
million of my fellow Americans. Our country is at war in Afghanistan and
Iraq as well as with a ghostly omnipresent foe known as terrorism. Our
national debt is stupendous, our stock market has plunged, and many
companies once thought to be towers of strength have failed. Meanwhile,
right next door, Canada has universal healthcare and a budget surplus. Its
banks are solvent and it's embroiled in zero wars. Am I jealous? Of course.
Am I planning to emigrate? No. I'm going to stay here and keep agitating
for goodness and justice and beauty. After evaluating your astrological
omens, Sagittarius, I suggest that you do the equivalent in your own life:
Stand your ground as you work to fix the flawed situation you've been
given; don't flee to where the grass seems greener. Halloween costume
suggestions: an elder statesman, wise crone, or charismatic teacher.
