There are no planets changing direction this month, no Mercury retrograde and the only big aspect is a trine between Jupiter and Pluto. This aspect can expand our horizons and make substantial gains.
Dates to Watch:
Oct 3 – Mars Square Jupiter 9 Leo/Taurus. This is an excessive aspect. You are running around in circles, you want to accomplish a lot, but you can overshoot the mark and end up exhausted. Especially true if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 9 degrees of Taurus, Leo or Scorpio.
Oct 6 – Mercury Conjunct Saturn at 19 degrees of Libra. You are spreading doom and gloom today. Just because you’re depressed doesn’t mean the rest of us want to share in your pity party. Get a grip!
Oct 7 – Venus Trine Neptune at 28 Libra/Aquarius. This is the day to fall head over heels in love. It’s a beautiful aspect. It also rules the beautiful things in life. You may want to play music and go to an art gallery.
Oct 9 – Venus goes into Scorpio until Nov 2. The planet of sweet innocent love moves into the raunchy sexy sign of Scorpio. What will happen? I can’t mention it here ‘cause your virus protector will block it.
Oct 11 – Full Moon at 18 Aries. This is the culmination of the New Moon we experienced on Sept 27. What have you accomplished since then.
Oct 12 – Mercury Trine Neptune. Your mind is in la la land today. But it is a good day to daydream and visualize what you want to bring into your life.
Oct 13 – Mercury moves into Scorpio until Nov 2. Now is the time to go to the library and take out as many mysteries as you can carry. You want to figure things out and that is a better way to do it than to start prying into the motivations of your mother-in-law.
Sun Conjunct Saturn at 20 Libra. A serious day full of responsibilities. Just get the work done, this will be over soon.
Oct 14 – Venus Opposite Jupiter at 7 Scorpio/Taurus – Someone may try to trick you out of cash today. Outscam the scammers.
Oct 17 – Mercury Opposite Jupiter at 7 Scorpio/Taurus – This is a day when we want to spout out all that we know. We talk and talk, but everyone else is talking also so you can’t get a word in edgewise.
Oct 21 – Sun Trine Neptune at Libra/Aquarius – A pleasant day for a trip to the ocean or take a cruise.
Oct 23 Sun enters Scorpio until Nov 22. Now we get into Halloween season. We experiences things dying in nature to be reborn in the season of Aries.
Oct 26 – New Moon at 3 Scorpio. This is the start of a new month where we can become moody, jealous, secretive and suspicious. But it is a good month to try to get your Kundalini to rise.
Venus Square Mars at 21 Scorpio/Leo. Another sexy aspect. I got to get my mind outta the gutter, but it’s not me, it’s all of these Venus aspects.
Oct 28 – Mercury Square Mars at 23 Scorpio/Leo. I know you are trying to be calm and Buddhist-like in your life, but today you will be screaming and ranting at the first person who cuts you off in traffic or anyone else who crosses you.
Jupiter Trine Pluto at 5 degrees of Taurus/Capricorn. This is a great aspect. It is a very creative and foretells a lot of gains and progress. This aspect is favourable for research and law. This is especially good for you lucky folks with the ascendant or personal planets at 5 degrees of Taurus and/or Capricorn.
Sun opposite Jupiter at 5 Scorpio/Taurus. A fun day, have a party, get together with friends, don’t drink too much. (I love playing the Saturn parent)
Oct 31 – Venus Square Neptune at 28 Scorpio/Aquarius. You are confused about your love life, your finances and what you value and what you believe. You need a Guru fast!
OUTER PLANET TRANSITS
JUPITER is in Taurus this month and will stay in Taurus until June 2012. This month Jupiter is retrograde and is moving from 9 to 5 degrees of Taurus. Now is a time to re-evaluate our belief systems especially if you have the ascendant, Sun or Moon between 5 and 9 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio. This is a time to plan your future in a no-nonsense practical way.
SATURN is in Libra (structure, foundation, and responsibility) until Oct 2012. This month Saturn is moving from 19 to 22 degrees of Libra. If you have the Ascendant or any personal planets at 15 or 19 degrees of Libra in your natal chart, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. Libra rules relationships of all kinds and Saturn may ask you to take on more responsibility for how your relationships work.
URANUS is in Aries and will stay in Aries until 2018. This month Uranus is retrograde and will move from 2 to 1 degrees of Aries. Wanting freedom and a need to make radical changes will be felt by those with the Ascendant, Sun and personal planets at 2 to 1 degree of Aries. I believe in “cooperating with the inevitable”. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, go on a long vacation, move, or make some major changes in your life.
NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) Moves from 29 to 28 degrees of Aquarius this month. Neptune is retrograde and will stay retrograde all month. Neptune will move into Pisces in February 2012 and will stay in Pisces until 2026. A lack of focus, a sense of drifting or an inability to see a betrayal or disappointment until it's too late can be experienced by those of you with the Sun or Personal Planets at 28 or 29 degrees of Aquarius or late Aquarius ascendant types. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams and spiritual insights.
PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023. This month Pluto stays at 5 degrees of Capricorn. Everyone is feeling the urge to purge and to find his or her truth. Profound changes will be felt especially by those with Sun, Ascendant or personal planets at 5 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer.
Have a great month,
