SCORPIO (Oct. 22 – Nov. 20)
Count to ten before answering because just about every request, favor, or query is going to work your last nerve. It’s what happens when Mercury, planet of communication, is traveling through your opposite sign. Not only will people show a remarkable insensitivity to what’s going on with you, but they’ll be mulishly thick about it. Try not to get frustrated or exasperated. You’ll only meet with blank stares. Be patient and resolve to explain things twice. There are just certain times when the planets in their courses make people dull-witted. Thankfully the lights come back on and the clue phones start ringing on the 11th.
