« Hear and skim present notes right here
Hi there Invisible Good friend, April right here, and the date as we speak is October thirtieth, 2023. Welcome to Episode 206 of the Huge Sky Astrology Podcast.
This week, Venus trine Uranus makes Halloween extra thrilling with each tips and treats. The Solar opposes Jupiter, Venus opposes Neptune, and Mercury opposes Uranus. Saturn turns direct, and the Final Quarter Moon in Leeeeoooooo favors bringing artistic tasks to the end line. Plus, I reply a listener query about how two folks’s charts point out their helpfulness to one another in enterprise.
Venus trine Uranus (Oct. 31, 2023, 5:51 am PDT)
The week begins with Venus’s trine to Uranus, on Oct. 31 at 5:51 am PDT at 21.36 Virgo and Taurus. As I stated, this mixture brings each tips and treats to our Halloween celebration – tips being symbolized by Uranus, treats being symbolized by Venus. This can be a pretty side for relationships as a result of it type of renews our curiosity and pleasure in {our relationships}. It’s additionally a very good side for making or managing cash and particularly developing with new concepts for doing that.
New pursuits will typically present up when Venus is in good side to Uranus. And the Sabian symbols for this mixture speak about figuring out what you stand for and the way that may really enhance relationships. The Sabian image for Venus is 22 Virgo, A royal coat of arms. What do you stand for? What’s your motto? What symbols do you employ to symbolize you in your life? And the Sabian image for Uranus is 22 Taurus, A white dove over troubled waters. So between that and the truth that we now have a beautiful flowing trine side between these two planets, it does counsel to me there’s a risk to clean over any current troubles with the folks near us.
Solar opposes Jupiter (Nov. 2, 2023, 10:02 pm PDT)
On November 2nd at 10:02pm Pacific Time, the Solar in Scorpio opposes Jupiter in Taurus at 10º 30’ of these indicators. The Sabian image for the Solar is 11 Scorpio, A drowning man rescued. And the Sabian image for Jupiter is 11 Taurus, A lady sprinkling flowers.
Each symbols are about caretaking. We see a person being rescued from drowning. We see flowers being maintained by a lady who waters them. The Solar in Scorpio, which is dominated by Mars, is type of a primary responder, and it does wish to rescue the defenseless. It additionally loves a makeover. It likes to take one thing that’s an entire mess, or seems prefer it actually ought to be thrown out, and make it into one thing helpful and delightful.
Jupiter in Taurus at this opposition is a bit more about holding issues going and wholesome and delightful. The opposition speaks of the steadiness between the 2. Holding issues going in order that they don’t get to some extent the place they need to be rescued.
Venus opposed Neptune (Nov. 3, 2023, 3:06 pm PDT)
Venus opposes Neptune on November third at 3:06pm Pacific Time at 25º10’ of Virgo and Pisces. I believe I’ve stated earlier than that Venus and Virgo has very excessive requirements in relationship. It typically enjoys giving issues its best effort, and being of service, and so forth.
Neptune in Pisces is extra about assembly folks the place they’re. Whereas Venus in Virgo is at all times seeking to see how issues will be improved, Neptune in Pisces is about having fun with them, appreciating them, and accepting them, roughly, as they’re.
The opposition side is one that appears for steadiness between these two. It’s about honoring your expectations for your self to do your best, to provide your greatest effort, however figuring out that some days you’re going to be able to a greater effort than you might be on different days. And in terms of Neptune in Pisces, it’s great to take folks as they’re, to understand ourselves and be forgiving of ourselves, however there’s something to be stated, too, for not letting ourselves utterly off the hook. And Venus in Virgo is nice for coming alongside and saying, properly, possibly you would be a bit extra diligent with that, or attempt to deliver your self as much as a considerably larger stage.
Typically talking, it is a corrective side. In {our relationships}, or in terms of cash, we would have an awakening about one thing that’s lacking, or has gone awry in a relationship, or in our monetary issues. And the opposition side says it’s not too late to make some adjustments.
Saturn stations Direct (Nov. 4, 12:03 am PDT)
On November 4th, at 3 minutes previous midnight, Saturn stations to show direct at 0º30’ Pisces on the Sabian image 1 Pisces, A public market. Saturn has been retrograde since June seventeenth. It turned retrograde at 7º12’ Pisces, so now that it’s transferring direct, it’s going to cowl the identical territory initially that it did between March seventh and June seventeenth.
Saturn’s retrograde instances are good for introspection about what you wish to obtain and why you wish to obtain it. It’s typically a time after we’re out of step with folks in authority, whether or not it’s a boss or a father or mother. As a result of throughout these instances, we’re actually trying inside and seeking to ourselves for a way of authority.
Saturn, turning direct, says that it’s time to start to maneuver ahead once more with our profession efforts. The Sabian image, A public market, evokes a crowded area, together with a crowded market, and there may be typically the necessity to promote with the intention to make ourselves stand out. However there may be room for us to face out, significantly if we use Piscean strategies.
So, community, being nice with others, exhibiting consideration for what others want. And real curiosity in what they’re as much as. And most of all, by transferring in a path that’s really in tuned with what’s vital to you, not simply the factor that’s going to earn you essentially the most cash or get you essentially the most standing.
Mercury opposes Uranus (Nov. 4, 2023, 9:07 am PDT)
Afterward November 4th at 9:07 am Pacific Time, Mercury opposes Uranus at 21º26’ Scorpio and Taurus. Mercury is on the Sabian image, 22 Scorpio, Hunters beginning out for geese. And Uranus is on 22 Taurus, White dove over troubled waters. Now, aren’t these two very contradictory symbols, each involving birds?
It’s about discovering steadiness, as all opposition elements are. Mercury in Scorpio is kind of targeted, even a bit bit obsessive typically when it units its thoughts on doing one thing. Scorpio is dominated by Mars, and this is without doubt one of the indicators the place we don’t are typically tremendous talkative, however after we do communicate, it may be very a lot to the purpose, and that may be interpreted by others as a bit bit aggressive.
Uranus in Taurus, then again, is on the diploma of a dove, image of peace and presents the promise of utilizing phrases to clean over battle. Now, typically after we wish to resolve a battle, it means initially being very easy and never pulling any punches. And typically emotions can get damage, however typically it’s essential to clear the air.
I’m questioning whether or not it will deliver a extra tranquil tone to the information, particularly referring to battle within the Center East. By the point you take heed to this, the scenario may have modified quite a bit anyway. However even when this doesn’t, this implies that the important thing to resolving battle in our personal lives, in our personal private relationships comes all the way down to listening to each side within the battle and being keen to provide you with modern options. Which is what Uranus is excellent at, and that’s the place the potential for decision and peace may come from.
Final Quarter Moon in Leo (Nov. 5, 2023, 1:37 am PDT)
And now for the Moon Report for the week of October thirtieth. It begins with the Final Quarter Moon at 12º39’ Leo, on November fifth at 1:37 am Pacific Time. The Moon is on certainly one of my very favourite Sabian symbols, 13 Leo, An outdated sea captain rocking. And the Solar is on Sabian image 13 Scorpio, An inventor experimenting. The Final Quarter Moon level, in fact, is some extent of vitality and of motion. It’s the time within the lunar cycle the place we now have much more consciousness about no matter it was that we conceived on the New Moon. And now we have to make one last push to achieve some type of purpose that we set forth for ourselves on the New Moon, which was that Photo voltaic Eclipse in Libra.
The Final Quarter Moon level is in fact, sq. Solar, because it at all times is on the Final Quarter, however the Solar remains to be in a conjunction with Mars, so the Moon is squaring each of these factors -and the Solar and Mars are opposed Jupiter, and Moon is sq. Jupiter. So there’s loads of vitality to encourage us to wrap issues up.
This may be about ending, significantly, artistic tasks that have been begun on the Libra Photo voltaic Eclipse. The Solar’s Sabian image right here, An inventor experimenting, is an emblem of innovation and being keen to strategy issues in a recent method. And with the Final Quarter, it at all times feels a bit bit that we’re pushing by some type of obstruction. And Uranus guarantees that doing issues in a brand new method is the way in which to interrupt by the place we now have been caught.
It’s a very energetic Final Quarter due to this T- sq. with the Solar, Moon, Mars, and Jupiter. However the Moon’s Sabian image speaks, simply because the Final Quarter Moon does, of reviewing, of considering issues over earlier than we act. Not appearing impulsively. The First Quarter Moon is the one the place we act very instinctually. It’s the purpose the place we are saying, I don’t know precisely what I have to do, actually, a couple of specific scenario, however I’m simply going to do one thing. I’m going to observe my instincts. The Final Quarter is that point of holding again, taking a look at what we all know in regards to the scenario thus far, and solely then appearing in a extra thought of method.
That is the Final Quarter Moon in a Lunar Section Household Cycle that started on August eighth, 2021, on the New Moon at 16º14’ Leo. At the moment, one thing was initiated, one thing started. We conceived of an concept, maybe. It wouldn’t have been clearer than precisely what it was. Often, we are able to solely determine it actually in hindsight. Then 9 months later at that First Quarter Moon on Could eighth, 2022 at 18º23’ Leo, some type of motion moved this matter ahead, whether or not consciously or considerably unconsciously. On the Full Moon at 16º40’ Leo, on February fifth, 2023, we noticed the larger image, every little thing was totally illuminated. And now on the Final Quarter, it’s time to make that last push on no matter was begun in August 2021.
So return, look by your journals, look by your appointment diaries, and take a look at to determine what has been unfolding over this Lunar Section Household Cycle.
Void-of-Course Moon Intervals
Let’s have a look at the Void-of-Course Moon durations for this week. On October thirtieth, the Moon in Taurus trines Pluto at 4:35 am Pacific Time. It’s void in fact then for about three and a half hours, after which enters Gemini at 8:08 am Pacific Time.
As they wish to say, gradual and regular wins the race. And that’s true when the Moon is in Taurus. We don’t essentially transfer actual shortly over this two and a half day interval, however by simply steadfastly transferring little by little, piece by piece, it’s potential to win the race. And on this case, with the trine to Pluto, the gradual and regular strategy is what’s going to result in extra management and extra of a way of energy over our personal future.
This trine takes place in Earth indicators, so there may be some sense of completion of sensible issues, issues about work, or about cash, or some bodily undertaking that you just’re attempting to perform.
On November 1st, the Moon in Gemini squares Neptune at 5:36 am Pacific Time. It’s void in fact for about 9 hours after which enters Most cancers at 2:30pm. This can be a mixture and a Void-of-Course Moon interval that’s actually about getting out of our heads and into our hearts, our spirits, understanding not simply with the thoughts, which the Moon in Gemini is excellent at, but additionally understanding instinctually and soulfully. The Moon in Gemini is at all times about articulating. And when it squares Neptune, we’re attempting to articulate issues that we really feel deeply.
And on November third, the Moon in Most cancers opposes Pluto at 8:28 pm Pacific Time. It’s void in fact for nearly 4 hours, after which enters Leo on November 4th, simply after midnight at 12:21 am. This can be a replay of the month-to-month opposition that we’ve been having between these two, which for the second is commonly starting the Moon in Most cancers Void of Course interval.
The query is, are we getting higher at changing into a bit extra goal and accountable for our emotions and our responses? The Moon in Most cancers is all emotions and the Pluto in Capricorn may be very emotionless, so that is about persisting in being form to robust characters who oppose us, or accuse us of being too delicate and that type of factor.
Listener Query: Synastry in Profession and Funds
On this week’s listener query, Listener Carrie asks, “When one particular person has a major impression on somebody’s profession or monetary stability, which homes and planets do we glance to for clues? For instance, my Midheaven and Pluto sit within the second home of somebody I help professionally. What different proof would possibly I discover?”
Properly, Carrie, thanks for that very insightful query. This can be a query that brings us as soon as extra into the realm of synastry, a way which compares the planets of two folks in a relationship and the way they impression each other’s beginning charts.
I answered a query from listeners Suzanne and John about synastry in romantic relationships again in Episode 127. So people who find themselves curious about exploring these sorts of relationship dynamics would possibly particularly get pleasure from going again and listening to that episode. Right here, we’re going to simply concentrate on synastry associated to profession and monetary stability.
We would discover all types of chart connections with individuals who impression our careers and vice versa. The homes of the chart which might be carefully related to funds are the second and the eighth. Venus is the planet related to earnings and belongings. Pluto tends to be related with wealth typically.
Now typically we are saying that the second home signifies what you may have and the way you earn for your self and supply in your safety. Whereas the eighth home is extra about how we obtain assist from or by others. For instance, somebody with Mars of their second home within the beginning chart may very well be very motivated about incomes their very own earnings. Possibly be very entrepreneurial, very pushed, really, on this space. Somebody with Venus within the eighth home would possibly nonetheless be a tough employee, however would possibly discover themselves primarily supported sooner or later by a associate, or by residing on investments, or inheritance, or authorities assist.
It’s protected to say that if another person’s planets When you fall in certainly one of these two homes of your chart, they’re more likely to have some type of impression on the way you earn and purchase extra, or serving to you acquire assist. So the instance you gave is a very good one. Your Midheaven, which symbolizes your ambition, status, and persistence, and Pluto, which is the planet of wealth and energy, are getting used to assist improve the earnings or prosperity of the particular person you help professionally. Your personal status, which is symbolized by the Midheaven, is tied up with this particular person in order that no matter certainly one of you does has the, has the potential to have an effect on how the opposite is perceived on this planet. Pluto may be very highly effective, however this type of connection can even develop into a bit bit sophisticated. There must be a really clear understanding between the 2 of you about every particular person’s expectations and what they hope to realize from the connection.
Planets in a single particular person’s chart that make elements to the opposite particular person’s Venus, specifically, are crucial as a result of Venus guidelines cash and belongings typically. You would possibly have a look at one thing like one other particular person’s Saturn being in a troublesome side to your personal Venus and count on that to imply that there might be battle and presumably a way of being judged or confined within the space of cash, earnings, or self-worth. That may very well be, however additionally it is potential that the Saturn particular person helps the Venus particular person be extra accountable and prudent and purpose oriented in terms of cash.
In order that’s cash. Now, for profession, look to the tenth and sixth homes, in addition to Mercury and Saturn. Search for profession connections with individuals who join along with your Saturn or tenth home, otherwise you with theirs. Saturn connections can really feel oppressive. It actually relies on the opposite planets concerned. However, Saturn can even lend self-discipline and perseverance. In order for you somebody that can assist you along with your profession, search for somebody with planets that fall in your tenth home or connecting with Saturn. Simply watch out that they’re not attempting to steal the highlight from you or undermine your confidence.
Now, the sixth home is related with the office and may be vital in a relationship between individuals who work collectively or who serve each other. An instance may be somebody whose Solar, Moon, Mercury, or Venus falls in your sixth home and possibly turns into your administrative assistant or is any person who offers you your haircuts or manicures or facials or massages. Mercury is particularly about doing enterprise with others. So somebody whose Jupiter, for instance, a really lucky planet, is close to the identical diploma and signal of your Mercury, can assist you suppose larger for your self and develop your horizons.
