Lunations and Long-term Aspects

This month the New Moon is on October 7 in Libra, your 8th House of transformations, death and regeneration, shared resources, debt, inheritances and sex.  If your birthday is right around March 5 expect something to come along which is going to call for some adjustments or a change of course.  With Saturn and Mercury in Libra as well, those two will be contributing their energy to this lunation in a way that could bring news of or involvement with something like an authority figure, new responsibilities, or possibly a boundary issue or other restrictions.  Transformational changes are those which affect you at a deep and lasting level after which you don't see the world or some situation in the same way as you did before.

Venus and Mars are conjunct in fellow Water Sign, Scorpio, your 9th House of higher learning, legal matters, other cultures, relocation, beliefs and expectations.  There two, particularly in passionate Scorpio, carry strong implications with regard to your beliefs about male - female relationships.  It also indicates that interactions with members of the opposite sex with regard to the issues noted above will be more intense than usual.  Other issues which may arise include moving forward on money matters that relate to this house since Mars also rules action and Venus rules not only relationships but money as well.  Whatever is going on here is likely to stir a few things up with regard to those transformations.

Pluto is settled into Capricorn for the long haul with no further retrograde excursions back into Sagittarius.  Capricorn is your 11th House of group interactions, organizations, friends, networking and goals.  As the zodiacal roto-rooter, Pluto will be busy unearthing old issues in this part of your life which require attention.  If any of your affiliations are corrupt in any manner, you'll find out.  If any of your friends are using you you'll find out.  If you need some insider information with regard to attaining your goals, you'll find it out.  If any of your goals need to be eliminated or changed significantly, you'll find out.  So you can see that this should actually be a rather useful transit over the next several years which is more than some signs can say.  If your birthday is right around February 21 watch for an opportunity in one of these areas to come your way which may trigger the full effects of this lunation. 

Jupiter and Uranus are in Pisces, your 1st House of personality and outward expression where they are conjunct and also semi-sextile your Sign Ruler, Neptune.  Jupiter and Uranus have been known to bring windfalls so you can always hope.  If your birthday is right around March 16 - 19 this is even more likely to be significant.  The somewhat scratchy aspect to Neptune carries some irritations that could relate to your angels and demons in some way, i.e. your sources of enlightenment or conversely the ways you undermine yourself.  At any rate, be prepared for some surprises.  Also be aware that Pluto is in a loose but viable square to Uranus, which brings those suspicious friends or goals to mind as being an issue here.  Pluto is also in a sloppy square to Mercury, which, as you recall, is one of the lunar escorts.  This all implies you may encounter a significant personal revelation which is going to have considerable and lasting impact on you.

The Full Moon on October 22 is in neighboring sign, Aries, your 2nd House of finances, income, material possessions, needs, pleasures and things you value, including your self-esteem.  A Full Moon typically brings an ending or culmination and sometimes a shift to a different phase.  Transformations are still in-work with your beliefs and expectations up for review as well.  Taking action at this point is one of the things that could trigger that major personal issue which could well relate to ethics.  Committing to what you really believe in and taking action accordingly is highly likely.  Adjustments or a course change will be required, but ultimately to your benefit.  Also note that while Pluto was in a sloppy square for the last lunation, for this one he's putting you in the driver's seat, so to speak, where how you handle any issues with your friends, organizational ties or goals can turn the events associated with this lunation to your advantage.

Short-term Aspects

October 1:  You may become aware of something today which has been there all along yet you failed to see it.  This will have a profound effect on you.  Information about someone or perhaps a conversation with someone you know well may be inspiring or enlightening, opening your eyes to something you didn't see previously.  Ethics and living by your beliefs will come into play in some manner.

October 2:  Further involvement with this person will have an unexpected result which may take you by surprise.

October 3:  That Venus/Mars conjunction is exact today so watch for those effects as described above under the New Moon.  Mercury goes into Libra today, facilitating deep and profound thoughts about whatever is going on around you.

October 4:  Taking action on your beliefs or defending them may result in some significant changes.  Seek answers from your higher self.  Also watch your back, because someone may be trying to undermine you.  Make sure it isn't you.

October 5:  Information that provides some information that was previously hidden regarding an associate may surface today.  Your expectations may be shaken considerably by this revelation.

October 6:  Annoyances and irritations are possible, particularly regarding your beliefs and expectations which may have to change, like it or not.

October 7:  New Moon today as described above.

October 8:  Venus goes retrograde until November 17.  This tends to bring out the darker side of Venus, who's transiting your 9th House of beliefs, higher learning, relocation and legal matters.  You may not be aware of what is occurring until after the retrograde period is over.  Seeing your responsibilities in a new light or experiencing a hard lesson are possible at this time.  If you've done anything questionable, you're going to feel guilty.  If you're only thinking about doing something questionable, don't go there.

October 9:  Find some time to ponder who and what you really are and whether you're happy with that.  If not, this is a good time to make a few changes.  Seek enlightenment and you'll find it. 

October 10:  Insights and increased understanding may bring some irritations.

October 11:  Defending your beliefs may bring out hidden information in yourself or someone else.  You may also encounter some resistance if you're pursuing a goal.  There are important lessons to be learned so don't miss them.

October 13:  Your beliefs or expectations may be further shaken up at this time.

October 15:  More insights and incorporating them into your belief system are possible today.

October 17:  Something will have a transformational effect on you as you fully understand something you previously missed.  This increase in understanding will direct you toward a different course.

October 18:  You are very open to inspiration today.  Find some time to ponder what's going on around you, what you're learning from it and whether your course of action is the best one.  More adjustments to your beliefs or attitude are possible.

October 19:  Disruptions and disturbances are likely on the mental plane today as you gain further insights and revelations that change you at a deep and lasting level. 

October 20:  Mercury goes into Scorpio, bringing his communications skills and mental acuity to your 9th House of beliefs, higher education relocation and so forth.   More annoyances related to shared resources are possible.

October 21:  If you've been unpredictable lately you may discern today the effect it's had on others.  Take a close look at your beliefs and whether you manifest them or contradict them by your actions.

October 22:  Full Moon today in Aries as described above.  Continue to look at any inconsistencies between your supposed beliefs and your inner motivations.  If you have any self-defeating behaviors look at them very carefully.  If you don't think you do, look again.  Maybe your friends or goals can give you a few clues.

October 23:  The Sun goes into Scorpio, bringing more emphasis to your beliefs, legal issues, relocation and all 9th House matters.

October 24:  Taking action toward positive change is favored today.  Decide what you've learned the past several weeks and how you're going to use those experiences.

October 25:  A positive attitude shift is possibly along with the potential for a positive breakthrough.

October 26:  Expanding your understanding of something that's been bothering you is likely.  Watch for an opportunity to learn from someone else.  Remember that no life is ever wasted; you can always serve as a bad example.  Make sure you're not it.

October 27:  Another good day to incorporate your new insights and revelations into your core being and behavior.  If you regret any of your past behavior, accept your stripes and vow to move on.

October 28:  Mars goes into Sagittarius bringing his energy to your 10th House of career, reputation, public image and status.  This will be very useful for moving forward with this part of your life.  More changes and understanding which affects your beliefs or expectations is possible.

October 29:  This should be another day that helps you move forward in a positive way and maintain a positive attitude.
