Enjoy social events but don't overdo it. Avoid the health dangers of vices. Someone in your life, perhaps a relative or mentor, is facing a setback or illness. A vestige from your past may suddenly reappear. Handle change with grace since it is unavoidable. While work has been meaningful, today will also introduce something new and important. Co-workers and friends support you and make progress possible. In both work and life you will feel energized, ready to break new ground. Don't stretch yourself too thin though; learn to fix priorities and try to follow a work schedule.

You may feel like clearing your calendar of obligations starting today as Mercury kicks off an extended visit to Scorpio and your reflective, emo twelfth house—longer than usual because of a retrograde from October 24 to November 13. This should give you plenty of time to disconnect from your too-busy life and downshift to whatever speed is necessary. These next nine-and-a-half weeks are ideal for focusing on personal matters and letting others handle the "heavy analytical lifting." Pro tip: The more sleep you can get now—especially dream-rich REM cycles—the better.
