DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

The Moon occults Pluto on Nov. 12 then Mars on Nov. 15. “Occult” means “to hide” so tread softly over this week’s minefield. If you just started dating then make sure you’re both on the same page. One of you may be looking for a good time while the other is much more serious. Get together and compare notes before someone gets hurt. Money is another hidden pitfall as a “friend” may be working to ensnare you. There’s no such thing as free money. The more generous the loan, the greater the number of strings attached. And finally power plays. You think you’ve sized up a situation accurately but the Moon’s occultations say otherwise. That easy target, coup, or takeover is better defended than you think and could result in you losing your shirt. Things are not what they seem – especially with Mercury turning retrograde on Nov. 16 – so calculate your risks and hedge your bets before proceeding with any of the aforementioned.
