This week we see the sun move from balancing, lawyer-like Libra into mysterious, transforming Scorpio.

Thursday, Oct. 21: A stressful, challenging day with at least one surprise awaits. Patience is more than a virtue – it’s a must. “My Fair Lady,” the film, was released Oct. 21, 1964. Starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn, it went on to win best picture in 1965. The play is a perennial favourite at the Shaw Festival as well.

Friday, Oct. 22: Pluto figures in the best and worst of today. Willpower and feelings work together to fix a snag at work or with a health matter. Louis Riel, Metis spiritual leader and revolutionary, was born Oct. 22, 1841.

Saturday, Oct. 23: Welcome to the Scorpio season, our yearly opportunity to get in touch with the powerful Scorpionic energy of renewal and transformation. Scorpio’s symbol is the Phoenix. Scorpio’s motto is “I transform.” Pluto rules Scorpio. We all have areas of life that need pruning or reinventing – and when the sun is in Scorpio, we can become intentional about what we want to change in our lives – and then take the necessary action. Today would be the 96th birthday of the great, late-night talk show host, Johnny Carson, born Oct. 23, 1925.

Sunday, Oct. 24: Forward-moving Mercury is in Libra, in perfect harmony with the moon in Gemini. Good news regarding formal relationships will be easy to digest. Happy birthday number 35 to Aubrey Drake Graham, better known simply as Drake, the most successful singer-songwriter of the 21st century.

Monday, Oct. 25: The moon moves from lively Gemini into her home sign of Cancer this afternoon, but not before a sexy and generous connection with Mars in Libra. And once in Cancer comes a perfect harmony with the sun in Scorpio. It’s an emotional and lazy end to the day today. Katie Perry celebrates birthday number 37 today. She has sold over 11 million albums and 81 million singles since her first hit, “I Kissed a Girl,” in 2008.

Tuesday, Oct. 26: Venus in Sagittarius gets a challenge from Neptune in his home sign of Pisces. The thing with both Neptune and Pisces is that events can be magically wonderful and mysterious or dreadfully painful and addictive. Sometimes both. And sometimes at the same time. Oct. 26, 1984 was the first screening of “The Terminator” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. It was written and directed by James Cameron, who grew up in Niagara, in Chippewa, Ont.

Wednesday, Oct 27: Neptune has more magic on tap for us today with a perfect alignment with the moon. Powerful feelings may be overwhelming to the point of confusion. But the final result will be wonderful. While he first came to fame in “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” many love him most for his portrayal of Basil Fawlty in “Fawlty Towers.” Today, John Cleese turns 82.

Next week, we see Mars leave Libra for Scorpio.
