Behind the ‘Scopes sample

These are Michelle Piller’s “Behind the ‘Scopes” break-downs for the week starting March 23, 2009 (the last week for which these were offered free).

Overview

Spring has sprung! Whether you can feel it in the temperatures or not, a new solar year has begun. That, combined with a New Moon in pioneering Aries (this Thursday), will help you set some new aspirations for the next twelve months. Venus, the love goddess, is still retrograde, so try not to set anything major into motion just yet, lovebirds. Think of this week as a time to plant the seeds of what you’d like to see come to fruition next month or later. Right at the top of the week, your intuition will be on target, so listen up.

  • Sun in Aries: …a new solar year has begun.
  • Moon conjunct Neptune (Monday): Right at the top of the week, your intuition will be on target, so listen up.

Aries

Ah, now you are coming out of your annual hibernation. Though your dream life is still quite active, you’re ready to shake off the drowsy slumber of the past few weeks. The Sun and Moon are meeting up on Thursday, pointing you out as the cosmic pet this month. Use this very unique time to make a wish and bask in the knowledge that new life is infusing your indomitable spirit. The downside is that you may get a bit too turned on by your awakening sense of personal power, and march over everyone else’s feelings. Just let your highest self shine.

  • Sun (ruler of Leo, Fifth House of Love and Creativity) in Aries, First House of Self: …you are coming out of your annual hibernation.
  • New Moon in Aries (Thursday), First House of Self: …make a wish and bask in the knowledge that new life is infusing your indomitable spirit.
  • Sun square Pluto (co-ruler of Scorpio Eighth House of Sex and Transformation): …you may get a bit too turned on by your awakening sense of personal power, and march over everyone else’s feelings.

Taurus

Your annual jaunt into the dream world has barely begun, though you can likely feel yourself being pulled into your unconscious now. This is where a lot of the action will be for you over the next few weeks. If you hold the vision of what you want to bring about, you’ll find yourself in a new place by the time your birthday rolls around. Past lovers and crushes may impose themselves on your sleeping state, but it gives you a chance to incorporate their best qualities into your life, and to forgive them for messing you up in the past.

  • Sun and Venus retrograde (Taurus ruler) in Aries, Twelfth House of Unconscious and Endings: Past lovers and crushes may impose themselves on your sleeping state…

Gemini

Opportunity may come knocking in the guise of a former flame or a new soul mate. Do you cozy on up or smile and keep walking? You know how much you love to engage both Twins in a never-ending debate — and this will be highlighted on Wednesday. So, will yourself not to second-guess anymore. Truth be told, the best course of action is platonic action — unless you’re both in agreement that it’s a temporary tryst. Of course, should it blossom into something long-term later, bravo. But even you, time-traveler that you are, have no way of knowing that yet.

  • Venus retrograde (ruler of Libra, Fifth House of Love) on love axis sextile North Node: Opportunity may come knocking in the guise of a former flame or a new soul mate.
  • Mercury (Gemini ruler) on anoretic degree of Pisces (Wednesday): …will yourself not to second-guess anymore.

Cancer

If you can discipline your mind to quit playing its favorite fear factor game on you, you’ll find a tremendous amount of sexual and transformative energy to work with. You’ve got so much to teach, and still more to learn. None of this has gone unnoticed at work. The only thing to watch out for is how much is too much. Your sense of personal power is increasing exponentially, even if you’re unaware of that. So be careful of what you’re putting out there this week. It may come across as hostile to your loved ones. Shocking but true.

  • Jupiter in Eighth House of Sex and Transformation quincunx Saturn retrograde (ruler of Capricorn, Seventh House of Partnership and co-ruler of Aquarius, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation) in Third House of Mind: If you can discipline your mind to quit playing its favorite fear factor game on you, you’ll find a tremendous amount of sexual and transformative energy to work with.
  • Mercury, Mars (co-ruler of Scorpio, Fifth House of Love and Creativity) and Uranus (co-ruler of Aquarius, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation) in Ninth House of Higher Education: You’ve got so much to teach, and still more to learn.
  • Sun square Pluto in Seventh House of Partnership: …may come across as hostile to your loved ones.

Leo

The great connections you’re making with others (including your mate, if you have one) foster an inner sense of security that, in turn, helps you make important changes in yourself. Keep your heart and mind open for a fateful encounter this week. Though destiny is in the air, this is no time to rush anything. Simply take note that the stage is being set for something grand down the line, and it’s bound to have a major effect on your closest relationship. Sometimes a person comes into our lives, and we look back later and think, “Uh huh, that’s when the adventure began.”

  • Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius, Fifth House of Love and co-ruler of Pisces, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation), Neptune (co-ruler of Pisces, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation), Chiron, and North Node in Aquarius, Seventh House of Partnership: …great connections you’re making with others…
  • Mercury, Mars and Uranus (co-ruler of Aquarius, Seventh House of Partnership) in Eighth House of Sex and Transformation: …important changes in yourself.
  • Venus retrograde sextile North Node: Though destiny is in the air, this is no time to rush anything.

Virgo

If Love were a menu from which you could place your order, the Universe has printed up one just for you. Ah, but what to choose? In a sense, you already know what the healthiest selection would be for you, but alas, nutrition is rarely the first factor in any decision — even for someone as health-conscious as you. Making a crucial decision may not come easily this week, so try not to box yourself into any corners. Let an inner sense of destiny guide you without making any proclamations or commitments just yet. You’ll know when you’re ready.

  • Mercury (Virgo ruler), Mars (ruler of Aries, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation) and Uranus in Pisces, Seventh House of Partnership: If Love were a menu from which you could place your order, the Universe has printed up one just for you.

  • Mercury on anoretic degree of Pisces (Wednesday): Making a crucial decision may not come easily…
  • Sun and Venus retrograde in Eighth House of Transformation: Let an inner sense of destiny guide you…

Libra

Though you have big romantic dreams for the future, the reality of the present — as well as the past –continues to exert its influence. No wonder you’re feeling vaguely drained. With all of the physical energy welling up within, you’d do well to swim off your anxieties and let the water carry them away … or sit in a sauna or hot tub with your partner. You’re in a curious place, where new influences and people are coming into your love life, yet the past is still being thrust in your face, like a gigantic mirror. Face it, dear one.

  • Jupiter in Aquarius, Fifth House of Love quincunx Saturn retrograde (co-ruler of Aquarius, Fifth House of Love) in Twelfth House of Unconscious and Endings: Though you have big romantic dreams for the future, the reality of the present — as well as the past –continues to exert its influence.
  • Mars (ruler of Aries, Seventh House of Partnership) in Pisces, Sixth House of Wellness: With all of the physical energy welling up within, you’d do well to swim off your anxieties…
  • Sun and Venus retrograde (Libra ruler and ruler of Taurus, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation) in Aries, Seventh House of Partnership: …new influences and people are coming into your love life, yet the past is still being thrust in your face, like a gigantic mirror.

Scorpio

Even sexy Scorp has no desire to spend 24/7 under the blankets (even if you’re lucky enough to be sharing them with someone), but it’s as if your impulses keep you cocooned at home. You haven’t become a shut-in; you’re actively re-filling your creative well. And this is strongly linked with an urge to share your enigmatic self with a lover. Seen in that light, staying out of the public eye makes sense right now. If you’re single, you might consider giving a second look to a co-worker you brushed off once upon a time. Acting on that erotic impulse? That’s another matter.

  • Jupiter and Neptune (co-rulers of Pisces, Fifth House of Love and Creativity) in Fourth House of Home quincunx Saturn retrograde: …your impulses keep you cocooned at home.
  • Mercury (ruler of Gemini, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation), Mars (Scorpio co-ruler) and Uranus in Fifth House of Love and Creativity: …you’re actively re-filling your creative well.

Sagittarius

Tremendous creative energy is bubbling away beneath your surface. If you don’t have a satisfying outlet for it at work, find another way — perhaps through a hobby — to unleash your potential. Hey, you never know if one of your pet projects will yield a few extra dollars down the road. The great thing is that your creative instincts are linked to your love life. If you think of yourself as a vessel, you have greater capacity to hold love now. It’s not necessarily a favorable time to start something new, but do reflect on what your best relationship would look like.

  • Jupiter (Sagittarius ruler), Chiron, Neptune and North Node in Third House of Mind; Mercury (ruler of Gemini, Seventh House of Partnership), Mars (ruler of Aries, Fifth House of Love and Creativity) and Uranus in Fourth House of Foundation: Tremendous creative energy is bubbling away beneath your surface.
  • Sun and Venus retrograde in Aries, Fifth House of Love and Creativity: It’s not necessarily a favorable time to start something new, but do reflect on what your best relationship would look like.

Capricorn

Tiff for two and two for tiff. An explosive outburst may offer temporarily relief, but it will ultimately set you back with loved ones. It may feel as though internal pressure is squeezing you, but bear in mind, that’s how diamonds are formed from coal. Though you’re married to concrete reality, a mental trip to fairyland would help restore your turbulent mind right now. Besides, you’ve got the smarts to take an abstract idea and make it real — another reason to tune into the subtle dimensions. If all else fails, blow off some steam by taking a good long walk.

  • Sun (ruler of Leo, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation) in Fourth House of Home square Pluto in First House of Self: An explosive outburst may offer temporarily relief, but it will ultimately set you back…
  • Mercury, Mars and Uranus in Third House of Mind: …a mental trip to fairyland would help restore your turbulent mind right now.
  • Mercury conjunct Uranus: …you’ve got the smarts to take an abstract idea and make it real…

Aquarius

Hopeful for the future and haunted by the past, yours is a challenging path. Romance would be fine, but for you it exists more as a concept or idea than the actual nitty gritty. Free spirit that you are, you’re in no rush to jump on the relationship bandwagon. People sense your grounded wisdom and flock to you in droves. Yet, it’s rare that you connect deeply with someone who’s really on your wavelength. Most of your energy is being applied to bringing home the bacon. And that’s about as close to sexy as you care to get right now.

  • Jupiter in First House of Self quincunx Saturn retrograde (Aquarius co-ruler) in Eighth House of Sex and Transformation: Hopeful for the future and haunted by the past…
  • Sun (ruler of Leo, Seventh House of Partnership) and Venus retrograde in Third House of Communication and Mind: Romance would be fine, but for you it exists more as a concept or idea than the actual nitty gritty.
  • Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune and North Node in Aquarius, First House of Self: People sense your grounded wisdom and flock to you in droves.
  • Mercury (ruler of Gemini, Fifth House of Love and Creativity and ruler of Virgo, Eighth House of Sex and Transformation), Mars and Uranus (Aquarius co-ruler) in Second House of Income: Most of your energy is being applied to bringing home the bacon.

Pisces

Interfacing with the material world is not your area of expertise. Connecting to the unseen realms: now that’s a whole other story. So, your job is to find a way to bring that magic from your inner life into the everyday world and to share it with your partner, if you have one. If you don’t, your imagination will do as a temporary replacement for a real-life romance. And there we have it: the crux of the issue. Living in a fantasy often feels easier for you than relating to a flesh and blood mate. Busted, Fish.

  • Mercury (ruler of Virgo, Seventh House of Partnership), Mars and Uranus in Pisces, First House of Self: Connecting to the unseen realms…
  • Saturn retrograde in Seventh House of Partnership opposite Uranus: …find a way to bring that magic from your inner life into the everyday world and to share it with your partner…
  • Jupiter (Pisces co-ruler), Chiron, Neptune (Pisces co-ruler) and North Node in Twelfth House of Unconscious: Living in a fantasy often feels easier for you than relating to a flesh and blood mate.
