The moment of truth has arrived. A luminous full moon in Sagittarius puts our feelings in the spotlight, and we just can’t avoid spilling the beans. The barrier between our thoughts and our verbal expression has officially dissolved, and it might get messy if we aren’t careful.  Suppressed emotions don’t always come out with the greatest clarity…and then there’s the fact that tact is not Sagittarius’ strong suit. We recommend some advance editing before you deliver any speeches, slam any doors, or press “Send” on a lengthy “where do you see this relationship heading?” email.

In fact, if you can wait until Version 3.0 of your emotional processing, all the better. First, scrawl out your raw expression in your journal…and, please…don’t leave this lying around where your love interest could find it. Get that therapist, cool-headed friend, or personal guide on the horn, STAT, so you can sift through and distill your core truth. By the end of the week, you’ll be ready for that heart-to-heart. Whether you’re entering, exiting, or improving the state of your relationship, it’s possible to do this all with love–as long as you’ve had help from a great editor.

Who else is addicted to “The Real Housewives of (insert city)”? There ain’t no shame in our game about it. So, we were tuned in full throttle this Monday to watch the New Jersey season unfold.

Let’s just get the spoiler out of the way right now: Danielle is a Leo.

What other sign would be so hopped up at the thought of fame, living vicariously through her daughter’s walk down the runway?

“I’ll be with her every step of the way,” said Danielle, who couldn’t turn down a chance to pose for a photo taken by the ex of NY Housewife (and Taurus) Kelly Bensimon.

Honestly, we feel for her daughter. The girl is what, 14, and already she’s being steered towards overemphasizing the importance of her looks. She seems like a grounded, smart, girl who has to be her mother’s mother.

Oh Danielle, stop being such a vain Leo,and embrace your more regal qualities. Stop making your daughters sit in as advisors on your crazycalling. Carve out your own niche instead of trying to turn them into cash cows in eight-inch heels.

We seldom get this fired up about reality stars, but we hate to see two bright, beautiful girls forced to grow up so quickly because their mom is so immature. Danielle’s antics this week exemplify the shadow side of the Leo woman. We do hope she can turn it around and stop the drama addiction her sign falls prey to. But, from the previews, it looks like more clashes with Tauruses Teresa and Jacqueline, Pisces Dina, and Virgo Caroline. Hell hath no fury like a Leo woman scorned!

The Sun enters restless, flirtatious Gemini this week giving us a case of wanderlust (wander + lust). Whether single or spoken for, our eyes are sure to be roving. Hey, we’re only human. Looking isn’t the same as cheating, now is it? That’s the $20,000 question this week. It may be time to draw some looser lines in our relationships so that we’re not suppressing our natural urges to appreciate a finely chiseled, Grade A specimen that passes by our line of vision.

For the single souls out there, mastering the art of the hookup could be the most fascinating game. How far is too far? Should you order a la carte or return to the buffet of a “friends with benefits” relationship? Gemini’s energy is spontaneous but can also be a bit shortsighted so it’s important to do some additional planning before, say, hopping in the sack with a key business contact.

For those wondering where best to draw the line, read up on Oxytocin, the bonding hormone that is released when a woman it all hot and bothered. If you’re gonna play the game, you might as well know what the biological rules are.

It’s a hands-on kind of week, as a new moon in Taurus amps up our sensuality. The power of good-old-fashioned romance is not to be underestimated. Save the bump n’ grinds for the “Sex in the City 2” premier, and opt for the unbeatable basics: kissing, handholding, slipping perfumed notes into bags and briefcases. We’ll all be craving affection, whether single or spoken for. Pampering ourselves with pedicures, hot stone massages, and hair treatments can keep that hunger from getting too great (and thus making us needy or overly touchy-feely on dates). Mercury, which has been retrograde in Taurus since April 18, turns direct again this week, dissolving stubborn communication blocks in our relationships. It’s been tough to see eye-to-eye for many couples and getting locked in righteous indignation has been an issue. Now, we’re able to vocalize feelings without blaming or drowning out our honey’s diverging opinion. Agreeing to disagree dissolves tension immeasurably.

Romance and finance do not make the happiest of bedfellows this week, but their coexistence is unavoidable. With the practical Taurus sun squaring lovestruck Mars in Leo, wining and dining could come with a high price. It’s time to hash things out honestly with our lovers du’jour.  What can you both truly afford at the moment? Who pays for what on dates? It’s been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. While we want to spoil and be spoiled, if credit card bills and debt is the price we have to pay, it’s not worth it. Create space in your relationships for economic transparency. People fall on hard times, or have to tighten their belts. Be creative. You can still enjoy luxurious dates on a budget. Creatively thinking up new ways to generate income as a couple can be a truly bonding experience this week.

This past weekend, I found myself sucked into the MTV wasteland of “Jersey Shore.”  Since moving to Seattle a year ago, I’ve been missing that East Coast slang, and hey, if it had to come from reality fame whores named Snooki, The Situation, and JWoww, well, I was willing to take it. Being as it was January 2nd and all (and perhaps the fact that Domino’s Pizza had yanked their ads), I was assaulted with commercial after commercial for home fitness equipment. The Bender Ball, created by a trainer with the convenient name of Leslee Bender, claimed to target the “extension” and the “flexion” of abs.

On a flight to Miami yesterday, I was indulging in my customary habit of reading Us Weekly to distract myself from the jitters I always get when the plane takes off. The cover story was about Scorpio Josh Duhamel. Not even a year after his marriage to Fergie, an Atlanta stripper has come forward insisting he spent a wild night with her.

I’m not the type who wants to believe bad things about celebrities–especially not Fergie, whom I love because she’s a self-made (re-made) Aries woman who got married in her mid 30s and can hold her own in front of millions of people. She’s confident enough to piss her pants onstage then bounce back with a hit called “Big Girls Don’t Cry” (one of my karaoke favorites). He couldn’t do this to…her…or could he?

My mind went over to Josh Duhamel’s star sign, naturally. Upon recalling the fact that he is a Scorpio (November 14) I noticed my own indictment forming. (Sorry Scorpios–you DO have a reputation here). Having many beloved Scorpio men in my life, I realize that this is unfair. Still it comes up quite often in our readings…are Scorpio men notorious cheaters?

The answer is both no…and yes. Scorpio is the sign of extremely extreme extremes. They can be loyal to a fault, hanging on to the memory of an ex for decades after a breakup. One-on-one relationships appeal to them as they like to get intensely entwined with a mate. Still, they need the freak factor to be strong in their relationships. Otherwise, the chances of them straying for a “meaningless romp” here and there increases significantly. Aries (like Fergie) are known for putting on a blushworthy sexy show but can be shockingly prim behind the scenes. (Look at Ramstress Mariah Carey.) A Scorpio ex of mine once popped in his favorite porno to spell out his wishes. Unfortunately, our fantasies did not align and the relationship promptly ended.

So can a Scorpio man remain faithful and monogamous? Absolutely. Yes. But if you’re the type who wears miniskirts in public then swaddles herself in a granny robe when you get home, the odds are not stacked in your favor. You’ll have to tend to your sex goddess to keep him intrigued. Sign up for that pole dancing class (irritatingly trendy though it may be), forget to wear panties on date night, and be ready to take a tantric retreat in Thailand on a moment’s notice.

Not up for all that “extra” work? Well, you might want to try a simpler sign. Otherwise, you could just find your man in the tabloids before you’ve had a chance to say “honeymoon.”

Do you see the number 1111 in uncanny proportions? This phenomenon actually started for us AstroTwins right after September 11th. We were both living in New York City when the towers fell and had just started writing our first astrology column for “Teen People” magazine. In the wake of the tragedy, New Yorkers had little choice but to grapple with questions about mysticism, mortality, and what happens to the soul when it leaves the Earth plane.

Almost daily we would glance up and see 11:11 or 1:11 on the clock. Our microwave would have stopped at 1:11. The address on the Time Warner building where “Teen People” resided was 111 51st St. Meetings would be in Suite 111 or 1111 so many times that we couldn’t help but give pause.

We started doing research. There was no Google back then, but search engines turned up some fascinating sites like nvisible.com and others that talked about “lightworkers” and the link between 2012 and 11:11. We’ve compiled some of that info for you in this article: http://tinyurl.com/as1111

Since today is 11/10 and tomorrow is 11/11 we thought we’d direct you to this information. Hope you find it as fascinating as we do.

Neptune–the planet that governs secrets, hidden agendas, psychological healing, and spiritual growth–ends an elusive five month retrograde this Wednesday. Issues we’ve been sorting out behind the scenes are ready to be discussed openly. There’s nothing more inspiring and uplifting than a true survivor story now. If you’ve been to hell and back, stop condemning yourself for “mistakes,” and start seeking group support, or celebrating the strength you’ve built through the experiences. These lessons have not been in vain.

Divinely timed with the cosmos is Rihanna’s candid interview with Diane Sawyer. scheduled to air on “Good Morning America” (ABC) this Thursday, November 5. The Barbados-born singer is a Pisces, the sign associated with Neptune, so we expect this interview will be an especially potent one. She will reveal publicly (for the first time) the details of her violent relationship with Taurus Chris Brown.

Countdown to celebration! Only three more days til’ Saturn exits Virgo ending a restrictive phase that began in September 2007. We’ve all plowed through Cosmic Boot Camp since then, being forced to address the sloppy areas in our lives and fine tune them with the precision of an Air Force One pilot.

Yes, Saturn in Virgo is all about the details. Its lesson was once of great importance: through structure there is freedom. Through simplicity there is room to appreciate luxury. On October 29, Saturn will move on to Libra (check back with us then and we’ll tell you all about it). Saturn in exalted in Libra, meaning it’s at its most powerful station of all the signs. This phase lasts until October 6, 2012, marking a period of growth through beauty, relationships, peaceful accord, and strategic alliances. Though Saturn’s lessons are never easy (think of them as growing pains), they’ll be a lot less intense than they were these past two years.

In these final few days of Saturn in Virgo, make sure you take the following lessons with you into the next phase of growth. Here’s the nugget of wisdom for each sign:
Aries: getting on a steady routine with assignments and work

Taurus: removing dramatic antics from your love life

Gemini: understanding the importance of a well-kept home; standing still!

Cancer: communicating clearly and openly (especially with siblings and coworkers)

Leo: budgeting, owning your power over money

Virgo: initiating projects, asserting your vision, letting yourself dream big!

Libra: healing from psychological pain instead of sweeping it under the rug

Scorpio: networking, expanding your circle of contacts, working with a team

Sagittarius: adding structure to your career; playing “The Man’s” game; healing daddy issues

Capricorn: being unabashedly honest about your vision and feelings; not having to fit into society’s approved image of who you should be

Aquarius: Allowing intimate feelings to melt your logical defenses; investing in yourself for the long-term; healing real estate troubles

Pisces: Maturing your vision of a romantic relationship.
