General horoscopes are always meant for entertainment purposes only. For a more accurate view, read your Sun sign, Rising sign, and Moon sign.
ARIES The lunar eclipse in your sign on October 8th lets you know if you’ve been making the right or wrong decisions. You reap what you sow, and you can’t avoid the consequences. If rewarded, keep going down the right path, and more will follow. On the 26th, Mars enters your career, goals, and life path sector, and you become more ambitious and focused on your goals. You can take a goal and create a plan of action, then take practical steps to achieve it in a timely fashion, and nothing can deter you. TAURUS The Mercury retrograde (appearing to move backward) will enter your work sector midmonth, and you can have all sorts of work problems. Coworkers are more difficult, your work environment becomes unbearable, you mess up on a work project or have to do one over again, or you feel that you don’t want to do the work you’re doing anymore and need out. Don’t make any rash decisions right now. Wait until your heightened emotions and passions have waned, and you have a cooler head to make a decision. GEMINI When the Mercury retrograde (appearing to move backward) begins, it’ll start in your work sector, so in the beginning of the month, you might feel like throwing up your hands and walking out over terrible coworkers, botched projects, or misunderstandings. Keep your cool and give it some time. Things improve later in the month when the Sun and Venus enter your work sector on the 23rd, and a solar eclipse occurs in this sector that same day. A great new opportunity can be presented to you, or you create one for yourself. CANCER You can focus on work this month with Mars in your work sector for most of the month. You work hard, you have focus, you pay attention to the details, and you can make the sacrifices you need to make to get work done. You’re also better at taking orders this month, as long as no one is breathing down your neck while you’re working. Just make sure you’re giving yourself enough time off as well, otherwise you could work yourself to the bone and start suffering from the overexertion physically. LEO Mars enters your work sector on the 26th, and you end the month focused more on your work than anything else. You want to get organized, make lists, sort through the details, and figure out what you need to do when. You can get through lots of smaller projects, and should break down bigger projects into smaller ones to make them more manageable for you. Try not to take on too much though, otherwise you’ll overwhelm yourself and get in over your head, which will come out as lethargy or illness. VIRGO Your ruler, Mercury, will retrograde (appear to move backward) in October, and you don’t like that anyway because it makes you feel all off, but this also mostly occurs in your money sector, so it can also cause some financial problems for you. Make sure you prepare beforehand by getting your ducks in a row and having some money saved up and put away. Wait to make important financial decisions until late in the month when you’re not so concerned and have a solar eclipse on your side. LIBRA Mercury will retrograde (appear to move backward) in your money sector early in the month, which throws off your finances and makes it difficult for you to make good financial decisions. Then Mercury retrogrades in your sign October 10th - 25th, and everything gets thrown off. You want to scream, but it won’t last forever. You have the chance to turn around your finances quickly with Venus and the Sun entering and a solar eclipse occurring in your money sector October 23rd. SCORPIO You start the month off on the wrong foot with Mercury turning retrograde (appearing to move backward) in your sign October 4th - 10th. Every little thing goes wrong, you have a hard time understanding people, you get into fights, you say the wrong thing, and you have a hard time getting a grip on anything. Know that it’s only temporary, and you’ll get the chance to right any wrong later in the month with the Sun and Venus entering and a solar eclipse occurring in your sign October 23rd. SAGITTARIUS You question yourself and your dreams in October, feeling that things aren’t going the way you want, or that a new block is some sort of sign that you should give up. This isn’t the right time for you to give up though. This feeling is likely temporary, and you need to just take a step back and not make any big decisions right now. Wait until later in the month or next month, and have some patience. That can be hard with Mars in your sign most of the month though, but you should believe in yourself. CAPRICORN You focus a lot on your career and goals this month, especially because Mercury will retrograde (appear to move backward) in your career and goals sector October 10th - 25th. You have blocks, delays, have to do things over again, make bad impressions, have misunderstandings with bosses or mentors, or feel that you’re going in the wrong direction. You find renewed energy for your dreams later in the month, and with Mars entering your sign October 26th, you have the drive to go for it. AQUARIUS Mercury will turn retrograde (appear to move backward) in your career and life path sector October 4th - 10th, and you have problems with your career to start the month, feeling that things aren’t working out like you want them to, and the new things you try flop. You’re frustrated, but things turn around for you later in the month with the Sun and Venus entering and a solar eclipse occurring in your career and life path sector October 23rd. You can start a new goal or make the most of a new opportunity. PISCES Mars is in your career and life path sector for most of the month, so your ambition and drive is high, and you’re enthusiastic about your goals. You do what it takes to succeed, and you try your best. The lunar eclipse on the 8th occurs in your money sector, so you can be rewarded financially for your work if you’ve been smart, or punished if you’ve been reckless. You’re also more sensitive and can have shaky confidence if you find out someone thinks poorly of you, which impacts your ability to do a good job. Tune them out.
Another Batman villain! Today I'm diving into Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face. I should note that I have a little thing for Tommy Lee Jones. Even with that gruesome half-face.
SUN This was super easy - Libra! When Two-Face was Harvey Dent, he was a lawyer - that's Libra or Sagittarius. I went with Libra because he's so vacillating, that's Libra all the way (I should know as a vacillating Libra!). He can't make up his mind so he has to flip a coin. It's the fairest way to make a decision, and Libra is so concerned with being fair. To bring in the Sagittarius energy, I'd say his Sun is in the 9th house. The Libra Sun-9th house combo screams lawyer, and with the 9th house, shows he's intelligent, looks at the big picture, and very tied to his own beliefs. Screw everyone else! This would make him an Aquarius rising, which is interesting because he has an unusual look with his half-scarred face. MOON I'm going with Gemini here. Gemini is known for being a two-faced sign (not meant as an offense to Geminis!) because it's a dual sign. The symbol for Gemini is the Twins, and Gemini is known for having several faces. It would also give him more air energy, an air triad actually, which I feel he has. Air energy makes you live in your head, detached from feeling. With an Aquarius rising, that would put his Moon in the 5th house, making him theatrical and wanting attention (like the Joker with Moon in Leo! it strikes me that villains want attention a lot). MERCURY Since Mercury doesn't travel very far from the Sun, his Mercury can only be in Virgo, Libra, or Scorpio. Since he comes up with such vile plans, and seems to have a bit of a temper, I'd go with Scorpio. That would also make him more obsessive, dark, and have an unrelenting mind. Mercury would be in the 10th house, which makes him focused on his goals (killing Batman), always planning and trying to be realistic with his plans (to kill Batman). Also shows using words in your career (like a lawyer trying to convince people of his case; in The Dark Knight, Harvey is good with words). This would also make his Mercury conjunct Batman's Scorpio Sun. VENUS I'm thinking Leo for Venus, for the same reason I chose the sign I did for the Joker: Leo would put his Venus in the 7th house of open enemies, the enemies you know about, like Batman. It also shows an affinity for Batman, his enemy. In Two-Face's case, the Leo Venus would also add to his need for attention. MARS I put his Mars in Aries or Aquarius because of the scarring on his face. The face is ruled by Aries/1st house, and the Sun rules the self. If his Mars is in Aries, it's opposite his Sun, which can show the violence involving his face. If his Mars is in Aquarius, it's in his 1st house, which again can show the violence with his face.
I'm analyzing my first villain! Since I'm a Batman fan, I thought it would be a good idea to analyze some Batman villains this month. Of course, Joker had to be first, the greatest foe of Mr. Bats. Let's dig in!
SUN Okay, in the 1989 Batman film with Jack Nicholson playing the Joker, at one point in the film he says that he's a Pisces. I don't think they meant that, but it actually makes a lot of sense to me! Pisces rules illusion, delusion, fantasy - doesn't he seem like he lives in his own crazy world that he's always trying to drag us into? Also, his past is very foggy, his memory is zilch. In the comics, he has various origins; in The Dark Knight film, he's constantly telling different stories about his life. This is very Pisces, this fluidity, and the fog of his past. I'd put Neptune opposite or square his Sun as well to add to that effect. I like his Sun in the 8th house because he's so dark. The 8th house is naturally ruled by Scorpio/Pluto, and is an emotional water house. I also wanted to take into consideration synastry between the Joker and Batman since they seem so tied together. We usually compare charts for people to see compatibility, but linkages aren't only indicative of romantic or familial relationships. You can also see ties with your enemies. We often hate the people who remind us so much of ourselves, right? I wrote with Batman that I think he's a Scorpio 12th house Sun - Scorpio naturally rules the 8th house, which I think is the house the Joker's Sun is located, and the 12th house is naturally ruled by Pisces, which I think the Joker's Sun sign is. See the link? That would show a connection. I also like his Sun anaretic, because anaretic Suns can have a hard time being who they really are. They're very adaptable, and that would be double the case for Joker with his Sun in Pisces, a changeable mutable sign. MOON & RISING Joker is very look-at-me, desperate for attention, always wanting everyone to see what evilness he's done. How Leo! Leo is the sign ruling theatrics - Joker is pretty theatrical, wouldn't you say? He doesn't just do evil, he does it big, grand, for all the world to behold - Leo all the way! The Moon is what you need to feel emotionally safe and secure, and Leo can be pretty needy when it comes to attention. If Joker's Pisces Sun is in the 8th house, that would also make his a Leo Rising. That makes sense to me, as he wants to makes himself look like a clown, and I feel like clowns are ruled by Leo, and the rising is how you come across. This would be his Moon in the 12th or 1st house. I'd go with 12th house, because he seems like he has a deep well of emotion, but he tries to hide it by being so cruel. This would also be a tie to Batman because I believe Batman would have a 12th house Sun. Joker's Moon in Leo would be quincunx his Sun in Pisces, again fitting because quincunxes are erratic energy, difficult to get control of, so with Sun quincunx Moon, it can show someone who has a hard time controlling themselves, is all over the place, erratic and frazzled. MERCURY Mercury doesn't travel far from the Sun, so his Mercury would be in Aquarius, Pisces, or Aries (though not Aquarius if his Sun is anaretic). I like it in Pisces and the 8th house along with his Sun, as he has an active imagination (Pisces), with a cruel, dark mind (8th house). VENUS Venus also doesn't travel very far from the Sun, so I'd put his Venus in either Aquarius or Aries. An Aquarius Venus would make him very aloof when it comes to other people, unfeeling with a lack of connection. An Aries Venus would make him selfish with other people, putting his own needs above everyone else's. I think I'll go with Aquarius, which would put his Venus in the 7th house, which rules your open enemies, the ones you know about. He does have a special place in his heart for Batman, his open enemy, which would be shown by Venus in the 7th house. MARS I like Scorpio in the 9th house for Joker's Mars. Scorpio is unrelenting, as the Joker is, violent and dark, one of the signs of war. The 9th house would go to his loftier goal or trying to change the world to fit his own views. It would be square his Venus, making it difficult for him to show affection, and square his Moon, showing the temper. It would also make his Mars conjunct Batman's Sun, showing his aggression toward Batman. JOKER CARD The Joker card in the playing deck correlates to the Fool card in Tarot, which is linked to the planet Uranus. Uranus is the planet of the wild, the unexpected, just like Joker. I'd guess he has Uranus conjunct one of his personal planets to add in that Uranus unpredictability. |
