Read for your rising sign

The end of October this year has an auspicious astrological configuration. A grand water trine containing half the planets in our solar system. This configuration is a good time to reflect on the archetypal expression of water in the birth chart. That’s because water is reflective and emotional. Reflecting on one’s emotions is not an easy task and can often feel like playing a game of cat and mouse. But a little self directed empathy is just what this grand water trine can offer us all as we slide into this wet fall and unpack our emotional baggage.

Here are some questions, based on your rising sign, that would be good to ponder. You may even be surprised at the answers you find and like the tree lets it last leaf drop to the ground, don’t fear dropping what no longer serves you.

Aries

What is something that for better or worse you may need to admit about yourself that other people in your life knew all along?

Taurus

What can you do with others that is a true authentic creative expression of your own inner being?

Gemini

What if you had all the money you ever needed but still had to work, what would you choose to do?

Cancer

Is there a difference between what you tell others your purpose is in life and what you tell yourself? If there is a difference then contemplating that space between those two truths is your homework for reflection.

Leo

What belief do you have about other people that is actually reflective about how you feel about yourself?

Virgo

What is something you can do to support others, you get nothing material out of, but also brings you joy?

Libra

What does your feeling about work reflect about your relationships? If that doesn’t spark contemplation, try this question: What is a belief that I have about money that says something about my work in the world?

Scorpio

First start by defining what the word “success” means to you. Then try and imagine life as the complete opposite of this and ask yourself, “is that what I so feared?”

Sagittarius

If you could be liberated from one worldly desire you currently strongly hold what would it be?

Capricorn

What’s one thing that brings you great pleasure but if it didn’t it would actually make your life easier. Mediate upon that one thing and the role it plays in your life.

Aquarius

What is something you believe about money that you know came from your parents? Now ask yourself if that is actually true.

Pisces

What is an emotion that you have spent your life running from. What would happen if you now turned and faced that emotion?
