ARIES HOROSCOPES

Everyone knows that it's the hand that rocks the cradle that rules the world, but it's equally true that women have often been the power behind the throne for centuries. So what happens when these women decide to act for themselves? It's something we'll all find out on October 8th when Jupiter in Cancer forms a sextile to Venus in Virgo. This is when you realize that you don't have to wait for the man in charge – whether he's your superior, client, or politician in Washington DC – to recognize your merits; it's more like the man in charge is looking to you if he wants to stay in power. It's not every day when Jupiter in the maternal sign of Cancer exercises its authority, but given its sextile to the feminist sign of Virgo, there's about to be a major wake-up call for some of these boys who think they're men. But this won't be embattled, retaliatory, or demeaning. Just simply women reminding the opposite sex of the enormous role that they play and how the world couldn't function without them.
