This newsletter comes out monthly; the fee is $22. per year. I think it makes a great gift for those who appreciate Astrology. All times are calculated for the East Coast.
September 30 - October 2 Think carefully before speaking. Mercury in Scorpio and Mars in Leo are in a challenging aspect which can speeds up your mind, too much. You may find yourself speaking out abruptly. Mercury is also in an awkward aspect to Neptune in Aries which means you might not have your facts right. And one more: Mercury is in a challenging aspect to Pluto in Aquarius forming a “T square configuration “ with Mercury and Mars. When I say challenging, I’m being a nice Libra. What I really want to say is “difficult.” There’s a tendency to be reactive and defensive rather than responsive. Try not to say something that would escalate the conflicted energies that are rampant now. Currently relationships suffer. One of you must be the careful responsive one to taking things lightly and listen rather than arguing. Although arguing can be healthy if there’s plenty of respect in the relationship. But this might not be about your mate, it could be your boss or the news or someone speaking out in your daily coffee bistro?
October 1 - 3 Looks to me to be a rugged time pout there in the world and inside if we react to what the news is telling us. Maybe they’re told what to tell us and it might not even be accurate? Mars in Leo is opposite Pluto. Whenever Mars is in a difficult (challenging or awkward) aspect to Pluto, Mars, or Uranus life is not easy on this planet. Mars opposite Pluto is very competitive, rough, crude, and nasty. Could war escalate even more? Yes. Or it could be earthquakes. Prayers are welcome!!! There’s so much espionage taking place that we do not know about. Maybe good we don’t know? I don’t think so.
October 1 – 4 Another challenging aspect is taking place. The Sun in Libra is opposite Saturn in Aries which feels like stalemate to me. The energy is stuck and we’re waiting. This feels like world affairs keeping us on edge if we choose to see it that way?
October 3rd, Venus in Scorpio turns retrograde at 3:16 am until November 13. Turning your loving energy inward to appreciate yourself rather than looking outside yourself for attention and affection is where it’s at. This you know. Will be interesting to observe how this unfolds. No need to defend yourself when you know what is said isn’t true about you. Some individuals do what Louise Hay used to say, stand in front of the mirror and say…that “I love and accept myself exactly as I am in the here and now.” Some days this comes in handy and it may not be something you need but you may have a niece or nephew that could use this tool for building self-love. For some it might be a starting point to recognize that we are ALL children of the Creator, the Divine Source of Life itself.
October 4 – 7 Mars in Leo is in a positive aspect with Uranus in Gemini. You’ll have an extraordinary amount of energy and enthusiasm. Use it well. If you’re over 75, like me don’t overdo it. No need to go bungie jumping. This aspect does enjoy extreme sports. I have noticed that people drive faster when this aspect is in gear.
October 7 – 9 This known as a time of frustration. Mercury in Scorpio is in an awkward aspect to Saturn in Aries. You may notice it’s hard to express your thoughts. You find it easier to write to find your clarity. We need more information to formulate a conclusion. It seems like everything is on hold and most of us don’t feel patient at all.
October 10 The New Moon takes place at 11:40 am Another new cycle begins = another chance for humanity to wake up and recognize our unity in the family of humankind. The Sun and moon are conjunct (means it’s super dark and night to get a good view of the stars) at 17 degrees of Libra. The air sign that dreams, breaths, wishes for peace and harmony in the world, in our family and in all our relationships. Please let there be treaties signed that are kept! Dane Rudhyar interprets 17 degrees Libra ‘s symbolic image this way: “A retired sea captain in uniform watches ships sail away.” Vicarious or mellow participation in life. Transfer of activity from physical to mental; or self-involvement in the past.” The New Moon in a positive aspect with Jupiter ushers in high spiritual energy. It’s about taking chances with a new business that you want to succeed in the long run. It also is a good time to expand an existing business. High minded principles matter. Duh Personal relationships are challenging because Venus in Scorpio is in a hard aspect to Mars in Leo. Many will find that egos clash and challenge the relationship if the foundation is not based on respect and commitment to work through whatever comes up, even if it means going to a therapist or a mediator.
October 12 – 15 YAY!!! The Sun in Libra is in a positive aspect to Jupiter in Leo. The New Moon kicked off this energy for us to enjoy. Being playful and not taking life too seriously is what this aspect says. Stay high minded knowing that somehow someway all is well. Pray for the earth and all humanity, as you know, we need it. Don’t permit yourself to be caught up in the fearful news being projected at us.
October 14 - 16 Mars in Leo is in a superfine aspect with Saturn in Aries bringing in stability and patience with whatever you’re focused on. Saturn brings blessings when it’s in a good aspect to another planet. Mars is action, desire, and energy galore. We can get things done. Productivity is at a high point. Because Aries and Leo are fire signs Keeping the energy moving forward makes a huge impact. I’m thinking of group involvement and organizations holding meetings to keep all involved inspired and motivated! This is the time for positive action!
October 15 Pluto turns direct at 10:41 pm. Pluto has been retrograding since May 6. As you may recall Pluto is in Aquarius which I translate as “Power to the People!” We shall see our prayers, efforts and the many signed petitions making an impact. Pluto remains direct until June 2, 2027. This might be the predicted “Golden Age” settling in. We’ve all heard so much about this. The old crumbles and the new high energy takes over with Love. Issie (Isabel M. Hickey the famous Boston Astrologer) I studied with always said, “In order for there to be a breakthrough first there must be a breakdown.” She was right, again.
October 17-29 Personal relationships are really being tested right now especially if the theme has been jealousy and possessiveness. Some think this means love. It does not. That is fear of abandonment stemming from another lifetime and activating in this lifetime. It may seem it simply takes over and is blinding. Venus in Scorpio is in a challenging aspect to Pluto in Aquarius. If your partner has many friends who feel the same about humanitarian causes of course, they will meet lots of interesting people. If the relationship is not based in respect, commitment and trust then watch out for jealousy will slam you and could ruin the bond you have. Many abusive relationships reflect what I’m saying here. The positive expression of this aspect is being creative artistically and or musically.
October 19 – 21 Idealism fades while Venus in Scorpio is in an awkward aspect to Neptune in Aries. I have noticed and probably mentioned before that idealism can be a set up for disappointment. It often sets up unconscious expectations. As you may remember Swami Satchidananda, the opening speaker at the original Woodstock Festival saying, “No expectation no disappointment.” I learned from experience this is a fact
October 21 – 23 The Sun and Venus are conjunct in Scorpio. This offers us a deepening of trust, respect and love in a personal relationship. There is a chance for forgiveness to occur and then the relationship that was suffering can be restored. With Venus conjunct the Sun there’s a natural kindness not actually natural to Scorpio. This aspect brings generosity and harmony out of the ashes and death of the old way of being. We’re ready!!!
October 23 - November 22 The Sun enters Scorpio at 5:38 am and remains here until November 22. Thank goodness Scorpio is naturally suspicious. We need that right now…about our world. Scorpio energy is about transforming the old letting go of the past and shifting one’s perspectives. It’s time for the transformation of the collective consciousness to shift big time.
October 23 – 26 Confusion is the theme at this time while the Sun in Scorpio is in an awkward aspect to Neptune in Aires. Be very careful of what you take in, the media is being infiltrated by manipulation of AI or something else. It’s probably impossible to know what’s real even more so than right now! I’m typing this September 25 Remember I said this!! Thank goodness for Scorpio’s natural instinct to be suspicious.
October 24 - November 13 Mercury now turns retrograde at precisely 3:13 am. You know by now this is NOT the time to invest, sign a contract, buy a vehicle or house, etc. It’s time to go within and contemplate, read, meditate and relax. I think Mercury is trying to teach us something about being so busy that we don’t make time for reflection.
October 25 Venus turned retrograde on October 3 while in Scorpio. Today Venus moves back into Libra which as you know brings about the desire for peace and harmony. Venus remains in Libra until November 3. At that time Venus will go direct at 7:27 pm while still in Libra. If you can follow this, you’re really something. Even I am confused. Venus will be back in Scorpio December 4 ready to aspect Pluto again, then Neptune. Same challenging aspects that were going on mid-October are being activated now.
October 26 Are you ready for another Full Moon? It ought to put things in perspective from the New Moon of October 10 when we started this cycle about personal relationships and the desire for peace and harmony. The Full Moon takes place at 12:12 am with the Moon conjunct Chiron in Ta**us opposite the Sun and Venus in Scorpio. Stuck belief systems such as prejudice will block our forward momentum. We need to face our collective past, forgive and make restitution where it is necessary. Love needs to lead the way for forgiveness to be extended and accepted. This is an intense time for all because we are connected and influenced by each other’s belief systems. Old wounds must be healed. How many more wars will be fought to show us war is a sickness? Do you notice that more children go missing where war is active? We have to protect the children! The Sun and Moon form a “T Square configuration” with Pluto in Aquarius. Here’s another indicator of living out old prejudice in the here/now. Hatred is deeply harmful and toxic for everyone. We’re all a part of each other, not separate! This Full Moon activates with Uranus and Neptune too, which is not good for world harmony, not at all. An old memory has recently surfaced from junior high school years. My friend who I would hang out with after school had a “maid’s room,” next to heir’s. I always wondered why it was the only room in their luxurious home that never was pained and was old mint green and just did not fit in with the rest of the house. Her name was Chritine. She was a seemingly a happy Afro-American who was thought of as a lower-class servant. In those days, 1963 that was the charade being put on for us. I wonder what she thought back then? Even Christine’s bathroom looked old and ugly. My friend’s parents never thought to fix it up?
October 28 - 30 Your mind will be sped up again as it was September 30 – October 2 while Mercury in Scorpio was in a challenging (difficult) aspect to Mars in Leo. This can be nasty as it was at the beginning of the month. Mercury’s retrograde motion is why this is happening again. Things said impulsively reveal deeply judgmental negative thought forms. Observe this sorry state of prejudice our collective unconscious still holds. Think carefully before you speak. Your mind sped up affects your nervous system. It may find you acting out with impatience and agitation, if you’re not aware of this aspect and yourself.
October 29 – November 2 Sorry to end on a sour note. The Sun in Scorpio is in an awkward aspect to Saturn in Aries. The energy doesn’t seem to flow with ease. You can’t make things happen your way. Pushing forward with persistence won’t work. You’ll need to change gears and focus on something you didn’t plan on to avoid agitation within. Let’s aim for peace today rather than making more money.
November 1 This is when we put the clocks back one hour. It’s Sunday, time to put clocks back at 2 am or before? It’s almost mid-term Voting Day, the long talked about day. I’ve been getting so many emails for the last 3 months about this. I already applied and was approved for an absentee ballot. YAY !
First, I'm not involved with Sun sign horoscope readings, like you see in the newspaper. Those kinds of readings are vague, general and could apply to anyone. You know this. I enjoy researching your chart to learn about you. That means I need your birth date, time of birth (within 4 minutes if possi...
