Mercury trine Saturn (Oct. 21, 2024, 11:35 pm PDT)
Mercury in Scorpio trines Saturn in Pisces on October twenty first at 11:35 pm Pacific Time. Mercury symbolizes thought processes, studying, and communication, and when it meets with organized, severe Saturn in side, just like the trine, it’s time to arrange our ideas, streamline communication or expertise techniques, and delve into analysis or simply tackling troublesome components of a giant mission.
So, if there’s something that you simply’ve been laying aside beginning as a result of it simply appeared too formidable to work out the main points or collect details about it, put it off now not. This side can actually assist.
Mercury’s Sabian image at this trine is 14 Scorpio, Phone linemen at work. Getting in contact with any individual you haven’t spoken to shortly might have end result. And since Saturn guidelines authorities, this might be an acceptable time to have a delicate dialog together with your boss, or mother and father, or anyone else in your life who’s able of authority. We would additionally see points associated to the aftermath of these two large hurricanes, Hurricane Helene and Milton. That might be very a lot within the headlines, and particularly reconnecting companies in these actually hard-hit areas.
Solar sq. Pluto (Oct. 22, 2024, 7:15 am PDT)
On October twenty second at 7:15 am Pacific Time the Solar, at 29 levels 40 minutes Libra, makes a sq. side to Pluto in Capricorn. That is considered one of two squares the Solar makes every year to Pluto, and that is the final one which the Solar will make to Pluto whereas it’s in Capricorn.
Pluto, when it’s in side with the Solar, can have a manner of constructing us really feel unimportant. Something that we very a lot need to do may additionally out of the blue, throughout this side of Pluto, really feel as if it isn’t actually price doing. However when the Solar connects with Pluto, we have to take the chance to assert the angle that every of us is vitally necessary – and the issues we need to do are necessary – and that features you.
If you happen to’ve been placing everybody else first whereas the Solar has been in Libra for the final month, now’s the time for a bit course correction. As a result of for those who don’t get up for your self in opposition to the seeming indifference of Pluto, then nobody will.
Solar enters Scorpio (Oct. 22, 2024, 3:14 pm PDT)
Later the identical afternoon, on October 22 at 3:14 pm Pacific Time, the Solar enters Scorpio. The Solar in Scorpio shines most brightly on us after we are being 100% authentically ourselves. It is a time of yr after we acknowledge that nothing lasts eternally, that inevitably in the midst of our lives we are going to lose people who we love and that someday we received’t be round both.
We rejoice Halloween throughout this season, taking a playful strategy to considering issues which might be very disturbing and scary. Within the Mexican tradition, Dia de los Muertos, Day of the Lifeless, is well known. It’s truly two days, on November 1st and a pair ofnd, throughout the Scorpio season, and that is deeply rooted to pre-Hispanic Aztec rituals, tied to the Girl of the Lifeless, who allowed spirits to journey again to Earth to commune with members of the family.
So, on this vacation, you will note altars which might be constructed to those that have handed, consisting of choices, of photographs of the deceased, candles, bottles of mezcal and tequila, meals, sugar skulls, and vibrant marigolds. You will note individuals truly take lunches out to the cemetery on nowadays to spend time with their family members who’ve handed.
The Solar shall be in Scorpio till November twenty first, 2024, and it’s a actually beautiful time of yr to ponder the gravity of life. That as a result of none of us is right here eternally, it’s necessary to understand and rejoice the issues which might be necessary to us whereas we will. It is likely to be a time to go to the cemetery the place your family are buried and make a bit altar or a bit providing and take some flowers and consider them.
Venus trine North Node (Oct. 22, 2024, 7:37 pm PDT)
Venus in Sagittarius makes a trine to the Moon’s North Node on October twenty second at 7:37 pm Pacific Time. The Sabian image for Venus is 7 Sagittarius, Cupid knocking on the door. And I really like that Venus is impressed by magnificence or love, and the North Node symbolizes the targets for achievement and evolution that we set for ourselves that may appear fully unattainable, but when we attain out in a spirit of affection, Cupid knocking on the door, providing our inventive selves, providing love and sweetness, then we would truly discover that the targets symbolized by that North Node in Aries will not be so unattainable in spite of everything.
And curiously sufficient, the Aries North Node symbolizes going out on our personal, following our personal particular person path. Effectively, the South Node continues to be transferring by means of Libra and means that we have to put behind habits of placing different individuals first continuously. So, Venus does symbolize relationship and that’s necessary, however it additionally celebrates simply pure love and pleasure of the world and sweetness. And as we attain out to these issues, and Venus in Sagittarius actually loves the outside and animals, any alternative that you simply get across the twenty second of this month to get pleasure from these issues, to get pleasure from that a part of your atmosphere, the nearer it brings you to the North Node in Aries.
If we really feel nourished by magnificence and our enjoyment of the bodily world, then we stand on a a lot stronger basis to maneuver ahead within the course of non-public progress.
Leo Final Quarter Moon (Oct. 24, 2024, 1:03 am PDT)
And now the Moon Report, and it begins with the Final Quarter Moon in Leo on October twenty fourth at 1:03 am Pacific Time, at 1 diploma, 24 minutes Leo and Scorpio. The Final Quarter Moon is the time to take remaining motion on targets that we’ve initiated throughout the earlier New Moon – on this case, the New Moon photo voltaic eclipse in Libra on October 2nd.
Objectives which might be set throughout an eclipse can grow to be profitable, typically spectacularly so, however normally don’t play out in precisely the way in which that we had deliberate. The Solar and Moon at this Final Quarter, the Moon in Leo and the Solar in Scorpio, are additionally related with Mars in very late Most cancers, which is near the Moon, and Pluto on the very finish of Capricorn.
Just like the current Aries Full Moon, this can be a excessive rigidity, risky Final Quarter Moon chart. The friction that we see in a chart like this may be motivating, however with this configuration enjoying out, we are going to actually need to be aware to maintain our cool and to restrain our feelings from getting the perfect of us.
Lunar Section Household Cycle
That is the Final Quarter part in a lunar part household cycle that started with the New Moon on July twenty eighth, 2022 at 5 levels, 38 minutes Leo. Look to that space of your chart to attempt to refresh your reminiscence about what may need been necessary to you at the moment and what you have been attempting to provoke.
The First Quarter Moon on this cycle was on April twenty seventh, 2023. That might have been a time for taking an preliminary motion within the course of these necessary New Moon plans. The Full Moon within the cycle was on January twenty fifth, 2024, and revealed in nice readability what it was that we planted on the New Moon – we don’t at all times know – or we plant seeds hoping that they are going to flip into one thing particularly, however till the Full Moon, we don’t actually see how they’re growing, how these concepts and plans are taking form.
Now, on the Final Quarter on this cycle, it’s time to make the final motion. And that is motion that’s based mostly on what we all know, what now we have skilled and seen all through this lunar part household cycle that started again at that New Moon in July 2022. This cycle has been in regards to the spirit of Leo. About creativity, about asserting your true character and attempting to encourage others and produce pleasure to the world and to the individuals round you. So, that is time to evaluate, are you doing all the things you may in that regard?
Void-of-Course Moon durations
Let’s have a look at the Void-of-Course Moon durations for this week.
On October twenty first, the Moon in Gemini trines the Solar in Libra at 2 pm Pacific Time. It’s Void-of-Course for 1 hour 50 minutes, after which it enters Most cancers at 3:50 pm. A Void-of-Course Moon interval that begins with the Moons trine to a different planet brings a present. And the present right here is the power to speak and socialize in a significant manner with individuals near you.
Gemini and Libra are each air indicators. And they’re indicators that wish to get along with the opposite individuals in our lives and simply discuss issues over. Have you ever been staying in touch with the individuals in your life who’re necessary to you? That’s one query to ask at this Void-of-Course Moon interval. And if the reply isn’t any, possibly that is the Void-of-Course interval to interrupt that behavior, for those who’ve gotten right into a behavior of not being fairly as social or reaching out to individuals. Now’s the time to succeed in out, and it’ll in all probability be warmly obtained. And you may have a look at it as the start of a brand new behavior.
On October twenty third, the Moon in Most cancers opposes Pluto in Capricorn at 9:47 pm Pacific Time. It’s Void-of-Course then for 37 minutes, after which enters Leo at 10:24 pm. The Moon in an opposition to a different planet because it begins a Void-of-Course Moon normally says there shall be a chance to get consciousness of an current sample and infrequently it comes by means of our observance of one other or different individuals in our lives and seeing one thing that they do this out of the blue makes one thing go off in our personal heads and we predict, oh, possibly that’s one thing I’ve been doing as nicely.
The Moon in Most cancers desires to nourish and domesticate, however it’s not at all times good at letting go. And we see that particularly because it’s connecting with Pluto, which provides an analogous message. Moon in Most cancers has hassle letting go as a result of Pluto desires to retain the sense of energy that it has. So, at this opposition, if that has been a sample for you, even to a small extent, set the intention in your thoughts to concentrate and to note while you’re exhibiting these qualities, while you’re holding on a bit too tight just like the Most cancers crab with its claws, acknowledge it, ask your self why, and consciously attempt to make the choice to let go of the necessity for energy. Realizing we aren’t in command of very a lot, and the perfect we will do usually is to be in command of our personal minds and our personal hearts.
And on October twenty sixth, the Moon in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus at 1:04 am Pacific Time. It’s a pleasant lengthy Void-of-Course Moon, for 7 hours and 43 minutes, earlier than it enters Virgo at 8:47 am. It is a fairly lengthy Void-of-Course Moon interval. It’s taking place when most of us right here in the USA are sleeping for at the very least a part of this. And what I take into consideration these sort of Void-of-Course Moon durations is it’s necessary to place this into the vault of our unconscious minds and set ourselves off to sleep with the thought of breaking a sample and initiating a brand new behavior.
, you may think that Leo is at all times the lifetime of the occasion. However there are many actually shy Leos, and none of us must really feel obligated to be the star of the present on a regular basis. When the Moon in Leo is connecting with unpredictable Uranus, we get the permission to let any individual else shine for some time with the power of the life affirming Solar.
So, in case you are in a behavior of attempting to face out on a regular basis, or pushing your self to be sociable while you’re not significantly within the temper for it, right here is a chance to interrupt that sample in favor of 1 that’s a bit extra natural, the place you take part in issues while you actually really feel strongly drawn to take action, and while you don’t, you sort of let your self off the hook.
Mars sextile Uranus (Oct. 24, 2024, 5:13 pm PDT)
Mars in Most cancers makes a sextile to Uranus in Taurus on October twenty fourth at 5:13pm Pacific Time. Mars is on the Sabian image 27 Most cancers, A storm in a canyon. So, we at all times know when there’s an interplay between two such flamable planets as Mars and Uranus. Even when the side is a optimistic one, like that is, the sextile, we all know that we will see sudden, sudden, on this case emotional, outbursts as a result of Mars is in Most cancers.
So, now we have to bear in mind and aware going into a side like this with the intention to use the invites and alternatives {that a} sextile suggests. Right here now we have a chance to make use of the friction and volatility of Mars and Uranus in a productive manner. You would possibly need to deal with a mission round your house or some sort of crafts. Bake a pie. However be very cautious and aware throughout this timeframe, as a result of accidents are a bit extra more likely to occur when Mars and Uranus are interacting, as a result of persons are transferring. They’re usually transferring a bit too rapidly, and possibly not fully being attentive to their environment.
That is a side although that does lend itself to nice inspiration within the work that you simply do. In something the place possibly you’ve been feeling a bit bit stale and needing some inspiration, you would possibly very nicely see it coming your manner throughout this side.
Mini-Lesson: Discovering Cash within the Beginning Chart
On this week’s mini lesson, I’ll be supplying you with a fast overview of discover cash in your beginning chart.
Oh, cash. I’d say that after profession and relationship, cash might be the most well-liked subject that my purchasers ask about. And it’s intently associated to the opposite two subjects. Like each dimension of astrology, you may actually get into the weeds on this one. Complete lectures, books, and readings are dedicated to this subject. However what I need to supply as we speak are simply actual fundamentals.
The primary planet that’s associated to cash is Venus. And the 2 homes of the chart which might be essentially tied to cash are the 2nd and eighth homes. The home that Venus is in and any planets which might be within the 2nd or eighth homes are additionally a giant a part of your cash story. And the planets that rule the indicators on these two homes are actually necessary as nicely.
Let’s break these instruments down and offer you a method for contemplating the necessary subject of cash in your beginning chart.
Venus and cash
First, Venus. What does it present us? Its placement within the beginning chart by signal, home, and side to different planets inform us about your disposition towards cash, the way in which that cash involves you, and whether or not that course of tends to be simple or troublesome, nice or disagreeable. If Venus is in one of many indicators during which she’s very robust, Taurus, Libra, or Pisces, you could have a particular benefit in relation to cash. Now, that doesn’t essentially imply you’ll earn extra, or handle cash higher. You would possibly take cash a bit bit with no consideration, and never work as arduous to get it.
Surprisingly, individuals with Venus in her historically troublesome indicators, Scorpio, Aries, Virgo can usually do very nicely financially just because they concentrate on it extra and work tougher to develop Venus’s qualities.
Your Venus signal reveals the way you strategy the topic of cash, what you worth, and what you’ll be apt to spend cash on. For instance, Venus within the signal of Gemini would possibly favor having a number of streams of earnings. It in all probability desires the most recent iPhone. May mortgage cash to siblings. Venus in Most cancers would spend cash on their residence and household, or household patterns will be intently related to cash. Venus in Sagittarius is more likely to spend cash on journey training or out of doors actions and is commonly far much less serious about cash itself than the liberty that cash should purchase.
Now, the home that Venus is in signifies areas the place you entice cash. If Venus is within the first home, that might be your character, your appears, your private magnetism. Within the eighth home, monetary help might come from a associate to an amazing diploma. Within the sixth home, you would possibly magnetize job the place you’re nicely preferred and earn good cash.
Within the fifth home, possibly the humanities, gaming, funding, jobs associated to youngsters. Within the third, possibly tech or communication work.
The Second Home
Past cash itself, the 2nd home Signifies safety, and a daily supply of earnings is a giant a part of that. The signal on that home cusp reveals the way you behave about cash, your outlook about it.
And planets in the home present what you could have, that persons are prepared to pay you for. With the Solar within the second home, possibly it’s your management skill and creativity. When you’ve got Saturn there, it’s your government skill and arduous work. Uranus in that home, it will be your ingenuity.
The signal on the cusp of every home is like an ascendant for that home – the way you come throughout on this space of life and your common strategy. With Sagittarius on the cusp of the second, for instance, the emphasis is on optimism, the large image, and the power to finance adventures and freedom. Aries on that cusp, there’s an entrepreneurial spirit, a aggressive edge, and a bit little bit of impatience. Virgo on that cusp can be serious about cash, get pleasure from analyzing it, and possibly be fairly prudent with it, however may additionally are inclined to get a bit bit stressed about it.
The enjoyable comes when the signal on the cusp of the home is at odds with planets in the home. Sagittarius on the cusp of the second is likely to be freewheeling and beneficiant, however then Saturn within the second home, vulnerable to worry about cash.
Most cancers on the cusp can be security and financial savings oriented, however Jupiter then within the second would like to take monetary dangers.
The planet that guidelines the signal on the cusp of the second home tells extra in regards to the messages we take heed to about cash. With Pisces on the second home cusp, the normal ruler of that signal, Jupiter, turns into crucial, bringing a bit further luck on this space of life. If Jupiter have been to be, say, in Libra, that good luck in all probability comes by means of partnership or social contacts basically. If that Jupiter have been within the ninth home, you would possibly do very well incomes cash in publishing, journey, or academia.
The Eighth Home
Subsequent, the eighth home, which symbolizes different individuals’s cash, particularly your associate’s cash.
In case your Venus, or the planet that guidelines the signal in your second home cusp, are within the eighth home, your associate performs a giant position in your monetary safety. And as as to if or not that’s useful or comfy, look to the points Venus, or the second home planetary ruler, make too different planets. Simple points are inclined to make this a passable association, whereas arduous points can imply there are conflicts about this dynamic in your relationship.
Other than companions, the eighth home guidelines specific professions, like accountancy, property planning, or banking, in addition to authorities packages of help, like unemployment, incapacity, or welfare. Planets on this home might present a propensity for getting cash, attracting cash, in these methods.
Typically, what I hear from purchasers who’ve very troublesome planets like Mars, Saturn or Pluto within the second home is that they face specific challenges in incomes cash, saving cash and feeling safe about their funds.
These with troublesome planets within the eighth home usually report feeling that they don’t get sufficient assist or help from the opposite individuals of their lives.
Now, ideally, we like to see side between the planets that rule the indicators on the second and eighth homes as a result of that signifies movement between your belongings and different individuals’s belongings or cash.
A conjunction sextile or trine between these planets will be nice. And I’ve even seen individuals do fairly nicely with these two planets in opposition. Though this will typically point out dramatic shifts between good monetary instances and more difficult ones. There are different fascinating methods to discover cash within the beginning chart, however most of them come again to those necessary symbols and components of the chart.
I’ll embrace a cheat sheet within the present notes that you would be able to obtain that offers you a number of key ideas about Venus, at the very least, within the chart, that will help you start to untangle the cash messages in your chart.
