Escape the noise of daily life and enjoy some time in nature. You are in the mood to meditate, to seek inner peace. Your mother, or a maternal figure, may require your care. All aspects of life will be improved as you attend to domestic concerns right now. You're in a partying mood, interested in being active, creative and in the company of others. Expect an invitation or sudden desire to see a movie or play or go to a sports game. You confidently set your own rules now. Be level headed in this moment of exhilaration and don't get carried too far from reality.

Your philosophical side wakes up in a big way today as wounded healer Chiron backs into trail-blazing Aries and your ninth house of education, travel and philosophy. The asteroid has been retrograde in Taurus since August 3, but during the final part of this cycle (until January 6), you may start to systematically ponder the "deeper meaning" or "greater lesson" in events that befall you for the rest of the year. Questioning your personal beliefs is challenging, but it's the most direct path to a richer understanding of your life. When it returns to Taurus next April 14, these discoveries could direct your career path.
