Mars Enters Libra
Photo by Chevanon Photography from Pexels
Mars enters Libra on October 4th (12:21 AM EDT). Mars is supposedly weak and its opposite sign, because Libra is ruled by Venus. And it can be difficult to take direct, assertive action during this transit since there is an increased emphasis on weighing the pros and cons (which can degenerate into waffling) and waiting to see what the other person wants rather than standing up for yourself.
Mars can also be terribly passive aggressive in this sign: anger is expressed with sugarcoated barbs or projected hostility. “Everything’s fine” is said through gritted teeth.
But I find that this can be a very, very competitive placement for Mars. Libra is a Cardinal sign, which means there’s a drive to be first. That drive maybe expressed with more strategy and refinement than Aries but never underestimate this energy. Relationships and social strategies will have an increased undertone of competitiveness during this transit-it’s not your imagination. Flirtation and sexual energy will seem sweet on the surface, but underneath there’s a carefully disguised urgency to win.
You can work with this by reading the room before you act. Watch for the social cues and listen to what your partner wants. Then, act accordingly or assert yourself with a bit of finesse. You you can be polite but firm rather than screaming (to express your anger). You’d be amazed at how effective you can be when you mix a bit of sugar with that fire.
This transit is also excellent for encouraging partners to work together in a more balanced manner. They do something for you, you do something for them and it’s win-win. It’s about strategy.
But since Libra is the sign of balance it is also the sign of imbalance. That means there can also be a risk of actions veering to extremes. Meaning, you do nothing and then become frustrated at your inaction and do something that sends the scales crashing to the floor. Or, you do everything for someone and they do nothing in return. Pay attention to those moments that trigger imbalances; this will tell you a lot about where your energy is best spent and where you should walk away. The ideal Mars in Libra efforts are poised and precise.
Mars enters Scorpio on November 19th.

Pluto turns direct, and what’s next
Art by Sam Brown As you may have read in these pages and elsewhere, the outer planets travel retrograde for about half the year, every year so that’s not so unusual. This year Pluto turned retrograde (it appeared to travel backwards from our perspective on Earth) at 23 degrees back in April, and […]

October 3rd, 2019: Pluto Direct
Photo by Lukas Hartmann from Pexels
Pluto stations direct in Capricorn (20°, 2:38 AM EDT)
The excavation of corruption or what’s dead/ dying beneath the surface will speed up as Pluto moves forward. We’re on to the next round of potent deconstruction and transformation.
Pluto in Capricorn has been breaking down old rules and commitments by opening your eyes to what’s no longer valid. Pluto often brings what’s dark to the surface so it can be purged. As intimidating as this sounds, it’s really just about getting to the raw ,often hidden, truth. Sometimes what’s dying could be as mundane as outdated habits or the natural conclusion of a relationship. This is not necessarily corruption, it’s simply an ending whose time has come. In other cases, it could be more serious (like a reveal of abuses of authority or destructive secrets).
Pluto direct means new changes are incoming – keep them in perspective by looking at the reality (Capricorn) of what’s happening in your life.

Mercury into Scorpio and Mercury Retrograde

Mercury enters Scorpio on October 3rd. Communication and information will be slower- paced, more honest and more uncomfortable. Mercury in Scorpio digs down to the taboo truths.
In some cases, this can be a time of silence. Scorpio is the keeper of secrets and this transit could be about investigating what’s hidden. Things can be whispered behind closed doors and information can be gleaned by watching and listening. When words are spoken they will be strategic, often aimed at someone’s weak spot.
This can also be an excellent transit for psychological evaluation or finding hidden information that becomes a valuable resource. Note that Mercury is entering Pluto- ruled a Scorpio on the same day that Pluto stations direct- this will be a heavy day and if you’re not comfortable with what lies beneath the surface, you should prepare yourself.
Mercury will station station RX on October 31st; expect an even deeper excavation of hidden truths. As Mercury moves backwards through Scorpio’s shadows you will be looking behind and beneath. Taboos can be re-evaluated and the usual Mercury RX delays can be used to dig up what no one wants to talk about; the power of the spoken taboo is tremendous.
When Mercury stations direct (November 20th) you can move forward with the potent facts that you’ve uncovered. Mercury enters Sag on December 9th.
Here are the aspects Mercury in Scorpio will make (note that there is a Sun/Mercury conjunction on Nov 11th at 18 deg).
