THE DREAM ZONE |
with Lauri Quinn Loewenberg My mother died in '98, but the last few months I've dreamt that my sister and I are near our mother's open casket, digging her grave by hand—when Mom sits up, but she's very weak. We both jump up and I grab her shoulders to support her. My sister yells at someone to get a doctor. I look at my sister and tell her, "I told you she wasn't dead! She's going to be OK."

ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
As Mercury enters Sagittarius Saturday, you'll think more clearly, perhaps focused on travel plans you thought would never firm up. Tuesday, a new Moon in Libra, your opposite sign, will have you figuring out how to include your favorite companion in the trip. Don't force the issue. Simply drop a few hints about great restaurants, awesome shopping and spectacular views, and within a short period of time you'll have them carrying your bags. Love: adventurous; Career: the speedy Knight of Swords in my tarot deck says you move up; Health: take more Vitamin C.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Thursday to Saturday you'll feel mellow and grounded, as Moon in Virgo trines Mars in Taurus. Mars is still retrograde, but bulls won't mind catching up on projects in their own sweet time. I chose a Taurus card in my tarot deck for you. It's the five of Disks, called "Worry." It looks like the inner workings of a clock. You can be all worked up, or "worry" the situation; that is, plan for it. Streaks of gold, shaped like pen nibs, pierce the metal gears. Writing—that's key. Love: can be challenging; Career: you have many options; Health: holding up nicely.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
What's your costume this year? You could go as Siamese twins; Minneapolis and St. Paul; Jeremy Irons in Dead Ringers; Gemini novelist Thomas Mann (note the double "n's" in his name and the double letters in his book titles, i.e., Buddenbrooks; The Magic Mountain). Or go as the Olsen twins, swathed in bo-ho (if you're skinny enough). The Nine of Swords ("Cruelty") with Mars in Gemini, tells me you have enough to handle just being you, so a T-shirt, jeans and a clever mask should suffice. Love: throw 'em a curve; Career: don't explain; Health: socialize.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
Repeat after me: "I will not stay home on Halloween. I will go to the party." You already have a costume: It's that little shell you wear. On the other hand, you could augment it with something they won't expect, like a large, honking clown disguise. You can paint your face so nobody knows it's you. Then, when everybody calls to gossip about who was there, you can pretend you thought you were hilarious, too. Love: the Ace of Cups in my tarot deck says you'll find love if you go to the party, since the New Moon's in Libra that night; Career: hot; Health: vibrant.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)
On Sunday, Mercury, the planet of thought, enters your fellow fire sign Sagittarius, so you should feel a lot better, mentally. With Saturn in your sign, and Mercury in Scorpio, things have probably seemed cloudy and uncertain, but life's about to move ahead briskly, allowing you to focus on projects and relationships. Speaking of love, this weekend the Moon in Libra, sign of marriage and partnerships, takes you to a party where you unmask a delicious treat. Love: don't underestimate that clown in the corner; Career: about to swing your way; Health: stretch.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Moon in Virgo Friday trines Mars in Taurus, bringing you lots of fun if Halloween starts early for you and your friends. Do go to the party—or parties—through Monday, because the new Moon in Libra, sign of relationships, could hook you up with a soul mate masquerading as Paris Hilton or Bill Clinton. I, personally, would avoid Osama bin Laden, but then, everybody needs love: to improve your chances, don't wear a grass skirt, beer-keg baseball cap, black socks and sandals; Career: sorry, they don't have your sense of humor; Health: skip the candy corn.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
You're the "host" for Halloween this year, since Moon's in Libra through Monday. The Two of Swords in the tarot is a Libra card, showing a woman in a blindfold holding two crossed swords against her chest. It's a card of peace, cessation and, to some extent, resistance. You may have been guarding against a relationship for some time, but are now ready to let love in. If so, I recommend a small mask, just across the eyes—so a potential soul mate can see your welcoming smile. Love: take a deep breath and say "Yes"; Career: motivation is renewed; Health: stay open.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
You're in good company: horror novelist Stephen King is a Scorpio. Scorpio is the sign of death, the occult and Halloween (it always falls near the start of your sign on the calendar). A psychic reading (I chose the "Debauche" card, with Venus in Scorpio) tells me you could fall under the spell of a masked seducer as you're out trick-or-treating. Congratulations! Oh, and with a new Moon in Libra over the weekend, you may discover a surprise beneath the disguise. Love: don't say "boo"; Career: humming along; Health: let your psychic intuition be your guide.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
Mercury, planet of thought, enters your sign on Sunday, clearing up murky thinking for a while (it backs up again into Scorpio temporarily on November 26 and on the 14th goes retrograde). Between now and then, you'll gallop up the miles unobstructed: traveling, daydreaming, making money and spouting philosophy. This weekend, while the Moon's in Libra through Monday (when it becomes new), you've got a good chance of meeting a soul mate while out trick-or-treating. Love: a psychic hunch tells me you'll be thrilled; Career: move it and shake it; Health: upbeat.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Today (Thursday) through Saturday evening, with Moon in Virgo and trining Mars on Friday, you'll feel "up." That should put you in the mood to hunt for a costume and companion for the Halloween party. Monday, the new Moon's in Libra, hinting at a sudden relationship. And don't forget to take advantage of the sextile between the Virgo Moon and Jupiter today. Along with the Virgo card in my tarot deck called "Wealth," it signals renewed success and abundance for you this week. Love: you could go as Cupid; Career: deals a good hand; Health: fine-tune it.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
The weekend is up in the air as Moon's in Libra (sign of relationships), for a charmingly pleasant Halloween. It all culminates in a new Moon (still in Libra) on Monday night, so you could find romance disguised as Frankenstein or George Bush. (And you thought you couldn't love a Republican!) My cards tell me you're going to travel this month, and the seat next to you will be taken by someone you meet at a party. (Let me know if it happens. We'll go on Oprah together.) Love: kiss that frog; Career: they'll call you back; Health: ask for toys or money, not sugar.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Halloween should be fun, when the new Moon in Libra unmasks an unexpected love interest. Live it up until Wednesday, when Moon's in Scorpio. Unfortunately, it opposes Mars in Taurus, so things could be gritty midweek. With Moon also squaring Neptune, your planetary ruler, it's kind of a double-whammy. May I suggest hiding under the nearest reef (the following day brings several positive aspects) until the turbulence blows over? Love: don't let the disguise fool you; Career: if you don't take it personally it will work out; Health: keep it simple.
