SCORPIO: October 15-21

On a late summer day in 1666, scientist Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree in his mother’s garden in Lincolnshire, England. An apple fell from a branch, plummeting to the ground. A half-century later, he told his biographer this incident inspired him to formulate the theory of gravity. Fast-forward to 2010. Astronaut Piers Sellers got on the space shuttle Atlantis carrying a piece of Newton’s apple tree, taking it along as he escaped Earth’s gravity on a trip to the International Space Station. By my astrological omen-reading, now is a great time to undertake a comparable gesture or ritual. Update your relationship with an important point of origin.
