♏ SCORPIO

(October 23-November 21)
Your anti-role model -- the person you should be the opposite of -- is the Scorpio warrior, U.S. General George Patton, also known as "Old Blood and Guts." He once said, "Practically everyone but myself is a pusillanimous son of a bitch." That's an attitude you should especially avoid in the coming weeks, since your success will depend on you seeing the best in people -- even if they sometimes don't seem to warrant it. P.S. It may be OK to think of yourself as "Old Blood and Guts" if and only if you dedicate your ferocity to the service of smart love and ingenious collaboration.


No one knows you better than you do, but maybe I can help you dig up even more self-knowledge. Listen to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

SACRED ADVERTISEMENT
In the Greek epic The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men become stranded on an island belonging to the sorceress Circe, who uses her magic to transform the men into pigs. Later, though, she changes them back into men—only they're younger and taller and better-looking than before they were pigs.

Tell an analogous story from your own life: an experience in which you were turned into a pig for a while, and became a more beautiful version of yourself when the spell was broken.
