      SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): &quot;There&#39;s nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it&#39;s going to be a butterfly,&quot; said philosopher Buckminster Fuller. I encourage you to make that your personal motto in the coming weeks, Scorpio. From what I can tell, you are capable of generating a transformation that will look impossible to casual observers. You have the power to change something that everyone said would never change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you resolved every last detail of your

      SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A 13-year-old girl shocked everyone by winning a plowing contest in England. Driving a 12,000-pound tractor and pulling a five-furrow plow, Elly Deacon did a better job than all of the middle-aged male farmers she was competing against. What&#39;s more remarkable is that she was a newcomer, having had less than a week&#39;s experience in the fine art of tilling the soil with a giant machine. She&#39;s your role model for the coming week, Scorpio. Like

      SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your anti-role model &mdash; the person you should be the opposite of &mdash; is the Scorpio warrior U.S. Gen. George Patton, also known as &quot;Old Blood and Guts.&quot; He once said, &quot;Practically everyone but myself is a pusillanimous son of a bitch.&quot; That&#39;s an attitude you should especially avoid in the coming weeks, since your success will depend on you seeing the best in people &mdash; even if they sometimes don&#39;t seem to warrant it. P.S.

      SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): &quot;Behind every face, there are a thousand faces,&quot; says film director Bryan Singer, who worked on two of the X-Men movies. He deals with professional actors, who specialize in revealing the myriad faces beneath the surface. But I think his assessment applies to lots of people, especially you Scorpios &mdash; although it must be said that you do have mad skills at hiding all the action going on beneath your surface. This Halloween, I urge you

      LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It&#39;s an excellent time to see if you can remove some of the neurotic twitches from your erotic itches. For example, you could use all your ingenuity to talk yourself out of the silly guilt you feel for having a certain idiosyncratic desire &mdash; a desire that, if acted out, would hurt no one, and that is therefore, by definition, healthy. Here&#39;s another possibility: You could invoke the full powers of your imagination as you free

      LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Were you ever a tiger in one of your past lives? If so, this would be an excellent time to tap into that power. If you have never lived the life of a tiger, would you be willing to imagine that you did? During the coming week&#39;s challenges, you will really benefit from being able to call on the specific kind of intelligence a tiger possesses, as well as its speed, perceptivity, sense of smell, charisma

      LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The sun shines brighter on my new home. The old place had resemblances to a cave and was surrounded by tall trees. My new space is surrounded by a wide sky and drinks in the solar radiance from dawn to dusk. As you might expect, my 15 plants need to drink a lot more than they used to. The watering ritual at the old house used to come once a week, but now it&#39;s every other

      LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is an excellent time to celebrate the pleasures of emptiness ... to extol the virtues of the blank slate ... to be open to endless possibilities but committed to none ... to bask in the freedom of not having to be anything, anyone, or anywhere. Are you smart enough to need no motto to live by? Are you resourceful enough to rely on nothing but the raw truth of the present moment? If so, you

Are you under the impression that your main reason for being here on Earth may reveal itself at some unknown time in the future, but not anytime soon? If you answered no to all those questions, congrats! You are more than halfway toward living a victorious life. But if

During this holiday, you have an astrological mandate as well as a poetic license to pluck the easy victories. So go ahead and solve the kinds of riddles that are your specialty. Arrange to be in situations where your perspective is desperately needed. Put yourself in the presence of people who think you&#39;re a gift to the human race, and subtly encourage

      VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There&#39;s a device on the market that claims to age wine very quickly. The makers of Clef du Vin say that by using their simple technology, you can &quot;accelerate the aromatic development of the wine&#39;s flavor and soften its structure.&quot; So dramatic is the supposed effect that &quot;one second of the device in the wine is equal to one year&#39;s age.&quot; I believe that you now have the metaphorical equivalent of this marvel, Virgo.

I triple dare you to imagine you&#39;re a genius at inspiring people to like you and help you. I quadruple dare you to drive overly stable people crazy for all the right reasons.

      VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I was listening to a sports talk show on the radio. The host had recently discovered Twitter, and was pleased with how many fans he had already accumulated. But he was not at all happy with the words &quot;Twitter&quot; or &quot;tweet.&quot; Too effeminate, he said. Not macho enough for a he-man like himself to use comfortably. In fact, he promised that he would never again refer to his Twitter messages as &quot;tweets,&quot; but would hereafter call

      LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your strategies are very close to working. The results you&#39;ve generated so far are almost useful, bordering on successful, and on the brink of being beautiful. My question now is: You won&#39;t stop here, will you? You&#39;ve already garnered a measure of recognition. You&#39;ve gotten a taste of victory over your old bugaboos. Will you be satisfied with these partial breakthroughs, or will you fight and kick and scratch to strip away the almosts and ascend

      LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The monsoon rains have not blessed eastern India with their usual downpours this year. In response, frustrated farmers have resorted to a radical ritual: asking their unmarried daughters to get naked and plow the fields. They believe that this will embarrass the weather gods into acting correctly. In general, I approve of being creative in making appeals to deities, but I recommend that you use a different approach. Rather than shaming them into providing you with
