Michael Lutin tells Scorpios that home, for now, is wherever they are

SCORPIO

24 - NOV . 21

Did you ever in a million years think for one second you'd be entertaining domestic arrangements of the sort you're involved in? The keytrading alone is mind-boggling. The planets are presenting you with a strange sort of security. On one hand you don't belong anywhere, and on the other you seem quite amazingly to be at home everywhere. Uranus in the 4th house always brings very crazy-making family dynamics. Luckily, Jupiter is also there for the rest of the year, so, nutty and insane as life appears, you are getting a kick out of it.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21

The great thing about Jupiter, your ruling planet, going direct in your 3rd house is that it gets you away from home, which at this point could easily turn into Grey Gardens. Your new, upbeat, friendly, social, networking attitude is healthy and revitalizing, even if it is superficial. With Pluto in your sign for the next 10 years, though, what else can you do? Frankly, nobody really wants to see you running through the streets, screaming and tearing your hair out. This is a much better way to influence people, and isn't that the point?

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19

You'll be delighted to hear that, thanks to Jupiter and Uranus, you're due to receive.an unexpected windfall, even though with you money tends to go out as fast as it comes in. Neptune, which is giving a last gasp as it leaves your sign forever, is raising your consciousness in spite of you, moving you away from the absurd trappings of this world. Wouldn't you just know, however, that right when everything is turning around for you financially and it's raining Krugerrands, you stop giving a damn about any of it.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18

If you swallow pop lore, you probably believe that Aquarians are all the original wild and crazy guys. Not so. Though they may secretly deviate by wearing strange ties, hats, or underwear, people of your sign make every effort to be responsible members of society, just as if they really were earthlings. You aren't, though. You all belong to the planet Uranus, which rotates on its axis almost upside down. As that planet now changes direction in your sign, it is your cosmic duty to turn the lives of everyone around you inside out. Show no mercy!

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20

You must believe that God puts you where you are and gives you what you have for a reason other than that you have been good or bad. To stay sane when Jupiter and Uranus are in your 12th house and your own ruler, Neptune, is in your 11th, you should throw yourself into some work or cause that you are dedicated to. Not only will this distract you from your longtime wish that the world would hurry up and end already, but it will actually move people and help make a real difference. Are you in the mood for all that, though?

ARIES

MARCH 21 - APRIL 19

If you haven't quite found yourself yet, take heart. When Neptune finally leaves your 10th house in February, you may no longer be nearly so interested in pursuing the glamour that has eluded you. Besides, as the ruler of your 11th house goes direct in your house of humanitarianism, life will be a whole lot more fulfilling if you devote yourself to saving the whales, rescuing rabbits from cosmetics companies, and things of that nature. Personal relationships? You'd love to care about someone else exclusively, if only you weren't so darned busy.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20

It's pretty understandable why you've been disenchanted with the world of business. Too often the bigwigs who have all the power are the very ones who lack vision. Once in a while, though, somebody at the top actually comes through and encourages you to go a little wild. As the rulers of your 9th and 10th houses move forward in your midheaven, someone is likely to push you over the line, and little old straight, conservative you is going to go public and blow everybody's mind with something totally outrageous. The fallout should prove very interesting.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 21

As Jupiter moves forward in your 9th house, try to picture your mind as a magnificent bird that has been locked up in a cage far too long. Now open the door of the cage. Go ahead. The bird won't bite. Because Neptune is not quite out of your 8th house yet, there may still be something holding you back from taking that magical leap into the air that would leave the whole crowd breathless. Can you imagine the first time a bird ever took off and flew? Well, then, are you a skylark? Or just a turkey?

CANCER

JUNE 22-JULY 22

Oh, what a hot month this is going to be, and that doesn't just mean fancy-dress balls and elegant fund-raising dinners. Your escapades will raise eyebrows all over the place. In fact, certain shocked onlookers (probably Virgos) will be fanning themselves and calling for their smelling salts while secretly getting a vicarious charge out of your worst antics. With the ruler of your 8th house and Jupiter both in your 8th house, why are you even bothering to try to convince people that you're just that typical, normal, quiet person next door?

LEO

JULY 23 - AUG . 22

It's certainly not that you have to make concessions to the world, and even if you did, that wouldn't necessarily be an admission of weakness or guilt, would it? When Jupiter and Uranus transit your 7th house while Neptune is still in your 6th, if you're going to heal any wounds, you've got to reach out, be big, show how warm and generous you can be, let people know you appreciate their support, and encourage their independence. If you are a married person, act like one for a change. It won't kill you. Just the opposite, in fact.

VIRGO

AUG 23 - SEPT . 22

Virgos have not had the most scintillating personal lives lately. Even in business, many leads have gone nowhere, and many members of your sign have squirmed at their desks with an I-guess-this-is-my-lot attitude. Rejoice. A whole new work thing is sure to rekindle the old spark and reignite your love for what you do. With planets going direct in your 6th house, there's a definite buzz at work. Will you singlehandedly bring back disco? It's doubtful. But when you're healthy and busy, you are happy, no matter how much you bitch and moan.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 23

Isn't it great when people come together for some good old-fashioned fun and everything flows smoothly? That's the kind of evening Libras dream about, especially now, with Saturn in your 7th house. Do there always have to be ugly confrontations? Not this month. Jupiter and Uranus could provide easy, spontaneous fun, and you never know what the creative issue might be from such happy circumstances. In fact, isn't that how babies get conceived? Note to married Libras: If you're having a secret affair with an Aquarius, it's no secret.
