I just read that five Western
Maryland counties are thinking of seceding from the Union. The question arises --Where will they go? My solution would be for them to
write a letter to David Cameron, CC the Queen and state that “it is unfortunate
that we had a misunderstanding a few hundred years ago, but all is forgiven and
would you please consider taking us back as colonies again. We promise to pay our taxes, especially on
tea. We will behave and not get so rowdy
next time.”
In other news, October is going
to be an unprecedented awful month! It is all because of the nasty Uranus/Pluto
square that will just not go away.
The New Moon on Oct 4 makes a square
to Pluto and opposes Uranus. A Lunar eclipse on the 18th squares
Jupiter in Cancer. Mercury turns retrograde on the 21st. The Sun is making difficult aspects to the
Uranus/Pluto square on the 1st and the 3rd and the big squeeze of Uranus and Pluto
moving ever closer to an exact square on Nov 1. Read more on this with Eric Francis
This month will be especially
difficult for those of you with personal planets or the ascendant at 9 to 11
degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Libra or Aries.
You will feel you are caught in a vice.
Dates to Watch:
Oct 1 – Mercury trine Neptune. You mind
floats into the ethers, you are very creative and artistic today.
Sun
Square Pluto at 10 Libra/Aries. This is the
first of the nasties. Expect a lot of
problems with countries and people locking horns.
Oct 3 – Sun opposite Uranus at 11
Libra/Aries. The second nasty. This one could bring surprises and more
revolutionary movements.
Oct 4 – New Moon at 11 Libra at 8:34
PM. Angry New Moon, opposite Uranus and Square to Pluto. 3rd
Nasty. Emotions get involved in the big
squeeze.
Oct 7 - Venus enters Sagittarius
until Nov 5. How can you love freedom
and want to be in a committed relationship at the same time?
This is the time to figure that out, if you can.
Oct 8 - Mercury conjunct Saturn. A day to get on a budget, clean out the
clutter and get serious about your life for a change.
Oct 10 – Venus square Neptune. Falling in love with love is falling for
make believe. Go ahead be stupid but
only for a few days.
Oct 12 – Sun Square Jupiter. You need self control today because you feel
like eating too much, drinking to much and spending too much.
Oct 15 – Mars enters Virgo until Dec
7. I like Mars in Virgo, he gets very
detail oriented and nitpicky. I checked
the validity of astrology once by doing the charts in the company I worked
for. All the accountants had Mars in
Virgo.
Oct 16 – Venus trine Uranus. A fun day.
You will meet interesting friends.
Oct 18 – Lunar Eclipse at 25 Aries/Libra
at 7:38 PM. The polarity set up here
with this eclipse is between your individuality and your creative
expression. Jupiter in Cancer is
squaring this eclipse which sets up an inner journey to understanding these two
poles.
Oct 19. Mars opposite Neptune. Are your actions in line with your greater
vision. Mellow out and think about it.
Oct 21 – Mercury turns retrograde at
6:29 AM at 18 Scorpio. He will be
retrograde until Nov 10. He will be
traveling over Saturn 3 times during this retrograde. Scorpios may be totally confused on which way
to go. Taurus won’t do too well
either. Wait until the retrograde is
over to make an major decisions.
Oct 23 – Sun enters Scorpio until
Nov 21. There is a reason that Halloween
falls in this period. This is the
Scorpio month that rules death, spooks, skeletons and all the dark underworld
stuff. Good month to do research and genealogy.
Oct 25 – Sun trine Neptune. Go on vacation. Get near the water and relax.
Oct 29 – Mercury conjunct Saturn. A good day to try to focus on the practical
aspects of life.
Oct 31 – Mars trine Pluto. Whatever you want, you can get. Pluto is powerful and is helping you in your
ambition and drive.
OUTER PLANET TRANSITS
JUPITER is in Cancer until July 2014. This month he will move from 18 to 20 degrees of Cancer. You will now feel enthusiastic and exuberant. A good time to expand your life with education and experiences. Look to the house in your natal chart that holds 18 degree to 20 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn. This is the area of your life that will experience this expansion.
SATURN is in Scorpio until Dec 24, 2014. This month Saturn is moves from 10 to 13 degrees of Scorpio. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets at 10 to 13 degrees of Scorpio or Taurus 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. Scorpio rules passion, sex and depths of all kinds and Saturn may ask you to take on more responsibility for how you control your rage and psychological expression.
URANUS is in Aries until 2018. This month Uranus is
retrograde and moves from 10 to 9 degrees of Aries. We all feel a need to
rebel; we want more freedom and want to make some radical changes in our
life. 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) is in Pisces until 2026 and is moving retrograde. This month Neptune is moving from 3 to 2 degrees of Pisces. 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 3 or to 2 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the
enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring
artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams and spiritual
insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out during the time
Neptune is in Pisces.
PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023. This month stays at 9 degrees of Capricorn all month. 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 9 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer.
Try to have a good month,
