Moon Alert

Some people might think that you are spoiling for a fight today and perhaps you are. One thing is certain; you have lots of mental energy to engage in debates with others. Small wonder that you attract people to you who are ready to argue! “Mrs. Hudson, the game is on!”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
