Over the last few days, some old Obama era laws have been repealed or are in the process of being repealed, such as removing the regulations on birth control, enabling employers to not cover birth control for religious reasons, and proposing to repeal the Clean Power Act, which would result in an
On Friday October 28, 2017, news broke (or was leaked) that Special Counsel Robert Mueller would make public an indictment on Monday October 30th.
Meanwhile much teeth grinding is afoot in articles such as Salon.com’s speculation about the name/s on top of the indictment: Here’s Who Could Receive Mueller’s Indictment.
Of course, the easier thing for news hounds like you and me to do is simply
Think Halloween is scary? Try Saturn square Chiron!
November 2nd brings a hurtful square (the last of three) between Saturn in Sagittarius and Chiron Rx in Pisces. Rules and responsibilities can be painful, as you run up against extra pressure or restrictions. Fortunately, Mercury in Scorpio is trining Chiron on this same day, so you have an immediate point of release – talk about the issue, and be completely honest about it. Not only will you find empathy, you may uncover assistance or hidden resources.
The November 4th Full Moon in Taurus squares Ceres in Leo, suggesting challenges around nurturing, security and mother issues. Taurus wants to hang onto things, but Ceres is about the cycle of nurturing and loss. Results may not allow you to maintain what you have, but the Moon’s sextile/Sun’s trine to Neptune Rx in Pisces indicates that dissolution can open up new potentials. Events will flow as they’re meant to, so there’s no use trying to maintain the illusion of control. The opposition between Venus in Libra and Uranus Rx on the same day says that this ending/result will be jolting, and you may feel off-balance (initially).
Lack of security, or what’s missing/not enough, will be themes. But Neptune’s aspects do provide expansion (although not always in a predictable direction) and Uranus always clarifies. You’ll know exactly what you have left, and where you can go from here.
Aspects to Chiron Rx in your hidden sector suggest difficulties around long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Wounds that are not immediately visible may be triggered by hard rules or limits on how far you can travel/expand. Going deeper to research and discuss the issue can help. Too, you may have access to financial assistance or psychological support. At the very least, you can arrive at a profound understanding by talking about what’s hidden.
The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources suggests that culminations involving earned money, self-esteem or emotional security may trigger fears of not having enough, or not being able to give/nurture enough. Insecurities may be combined with neediness or grasping behaviour, in an attempt to “make” someone love you or control an outcome via what you can give. Venus opposite Uranus Rx in your sign ties these events to a relationship ending, surprise or abrupt reveal. You have limited control over this outcome (and over the other person). Take a close look at what you’re not acknowledging – calm acceptance of the nature of impermanence can loosen your grip just enough to take the edge off.
Aspects to Chiron Rx in your social sector suggest embracing vulnerable moments with friends, groups or your public image. Private financial concerns or hidden fears/boundaries can be tripped by an innocent interaction. You may feel exposed by what’s missing in your life. Open discussion with others can help, especially in a one-on-one context. There’s empathy and cooperation available to you.
The Full Moon in your sign can stir up domestic tensions involving children, domestic finances or disagreements with a partner over personal versus family nurturing. You may feel torn between looking out for yourself versus giving care and energy to those closest to you. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests surprising reveals or disruptions around health, daily routines or work – there may be something extra (to fix or take care of) that you hadn’t planned for. Being aware of the bigger picture can help. You may find that group or higher ideals mesh well with more personal concerns. Don’t be afraid to turn to others for advice or examples of how to deal; you may discover that you’re not the only one going through this.
Aspects to Chiron Rx in your career sector can trigger painful partnership issues, related to differing views of success, pressure to succeed or conflicting plans for the future. You could feel less than capable, or vulnerable when dealing with someone in authority. Competition with someone at work could trigger a sore spot. Fortunately, your recognition of practical solutions and details in your daily routines/work methods will work in your favour. Speak up about what’s bothering you, but do so in a way that shows you’re prepared to make improvements.
The Full Moon in your hidden sector suggests secret issues (related to work or health) may trigger open disagreements about nurturing. How you (or someone else) needs to be nurtured may be a point of contention. Health issues can be especially frustrating, but looking beyond the immediate issue to the bigger picture (or future potentials) can help. Believe it or not, this culmination can help you realize a future/career ideal, as long as you’re willing to allow events to unfold, even if the results don’t look perfect. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests social surprises may be part of the picture. You could attract what you want (attention, romance, recognition) in a very unexpected way, or attract what you didn’t expect. Too, the reaction of others may change your mind completely by revealing the truth about an unacknowledged desire.
Aspects to Chiron in your sector of opportunities can see you questioning recent expansions, in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters, publishing or ideals. Your faith may be tested by extra responsibilities (in the areas of work, daily routines or health) that make you feel incapable or flawed. However, you’re not doing everything wrong. You just need to adjust to a more stringent routine. Open, honest discussion about the issue can help, and can add some juice to your creativity and appeal. Maybe others need to hear about your insecurities.
The Full Moon in your social sector suggests culminations/results involving friends, groups or the public can heighten feelings of insecurity. You could feel challenged to provide appropriate nurturing (for another, or yourself). Doubts can increase your feelings that there’s not enough for you. The Venus/Uranus opposition indicates that career and domestic disruptions will be part of the picture. A desired outcome at home/with family may bring more than you bargained for. Give yourself some breathing room (and perspective) by looking up and out. This is a new area that you’re exploring, and you’re moving in the right direction. Look beyond feelings of inadequacy, and allow yourself to dream of positive outcomes.
Aspects to Chiron in your sector of shared resources can trigger sensitive issues around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Not having enough to share/spend, or dealing with someone’s refusal to share/get close can be painful. But discussions with those closest to you (involving family, a domestic partnership or domestic finances) can help you work through some of the difficulties.
The Full Moon in your career sector, square Ceres in your sign, suggests results around career/future goals that hi-light tension around what you’re trying to nurture. This could be self-nurturing or your efforts as a parent. A new job, job search or issues with success/ambition can push you into smothering overdrive, or challenge your ability to provide. The Venus/Uranus opposition adds in sudden announcements/conversations/goodbyes. What you learn could completely change your mind about what you want. If in doubt, look deeper or go behind the scenes. A close relationship or sources of shared income may have more for you than you realize. It might be time to pool your resources or admit to something you’ve been holding back.
Aspects to Chiron in your relationship sector suggest painful partnership issues involving domestic responsibilities. The weight of family obligations could emphasize relationship insecurities, but rather than shutting down, consider an open, deeply honest discussion. The responsibilities won’t go away, but your partner may be more empathetic than you think. And, an agreement can be reached.
The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities suggests a conclusion involving long-distance travel, education, legal matters and publishing. The results will trigger hidden fears of loss, insecurities about motherhood/nurturing, or refusal to let go and accept that a new chapter is starting. The Venus/Uranus opposition can add some financial or security jolts to the mix – unexpected expenses or gains can be equally disruptive, as you scramble to maintain a balance. Watch for subtly shift partnership issues to help you out- releasing old fears/controlling tendencies and replacing them with acceptance and forgiveness (or self and others) can sooth you.
Aspects to Chiron in your sector of routine suggest the reveal of flaws or weaknesses involving health or daily work. A conversation or understanding may hi-light what you can’t fix, or where you can’t quite deliver. However, further discussion and research can reveal deeper value in your existing work, or some workarounds that enhance your security. Discussions about finances still have some positive potential, even if you don’t achieve everything you’re hoping for.
The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources delivers a conclusion around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Results may call for you to give up some control (although you never had full control) as someone else has a say in what you share or owe. Fears of loss (involving friends or groups) will be quite public. Uranus Rx opposite Venus in your sign will emphasize the unexpected aspects of this Moon – watch for a complete reversal in a relationship. Surprises can involve an ending or (in some cases) a delightful gift. Whatever comes your way has been building for awhile, even if the final outcome seems to emerge from nowhere. And there is room for gentle growth and expansion, although it won’t be in an obvious direction. The value of what you share or want may be abruptly clarified.
Aspects to Chiron in your sector of self-expression can trigger insecurities or feelings of failure, as you encounter limits in your efforts to succeed/impress. Creative work, performance or a new attraction can be areas where you’re reminded of what you can’t have, or where you’re not appreciated. However, the trine to Mercury in your sign suggests that open discussion about what’s happening may work to your benefit. You’ll have profound insight into the situation if you observe what’s happening and analyze your reactions/feelings. This insight will enable you to craft a compelling argument or story. Even if things don’t go your way, there’s still room for healing discussion.
The Full Moon in your partnership sector presents a relationship culmination that may trigger a crisis around your career or future goals. Nurturing professional ambitions will clash with personal issues. The Sun in your sign trines Neptune Rx, taking the edge off any harsh or disruptive results. Forgiveness, healing, compassion or gentle romance are possibilities, and the Venus/Uranus opposition promises a surprising reveal. What comes to light may shift the balance in a partnership, or reveal an unexpected attraction. Open yourself up to whatever happens, while releasing expectations of what should happen.
Aspects to Chiron in your domestic sector (including the square to Saturn in your sign) suggest some painful moments at home/with family. This will involve your extra responsibilities – you may need others to step up (but they can’t) or you may be dealing with some difficult family history. Responsibilities may involve care of a sick family member. It’s up to you to be the adult and shoulder the extra burdens. Fortunately, your instincts or knowledge of something behind the scenes will help you out. Tap into what you sense, or pay attention to what nobody is openly discussing.
The Full Moon in your sector of routine suggests results involving health, daily routines or work will challenge your efforts to expand/learn more. Something bigger that you’ve been nurturing will either alert you to what you’re doing wrong, or how your immediate obligations don’t allow you to go any further (for now). The Venus/Uranus opposition indicates that abrupt social endings or surprises (involving friends, group associations or your public image) will be involved. There could be a conflict between your efforts to gain attention/explore versus obligations that are tying you down. Rather than struggling to do it all, try letting go of one of two things that aren’t top priority. Releasing a bit can give you enough breathing room so you can exhale fully.
Aspects to Chiron in your communication sector can trigger painful conversations or realizations. Background fears may hinder your ability to speak openly. Or, you could be reminded of an old failure/weakness that triggers immediate insecurities. You may have difficulties being heard or understood. However, there is plenty of room for you to speak, despite these insecurities. You’ve got an audience- all you need to do is let them know what you’re thinking. It can be helpful to openly discuss your worries, as others will be empathetic.
The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression continues the theme of doubts around open expression. Results involving creative work, performance, a new attraction or children/pregnancy can stir up private fears of loss, or worries about your ability to provide/nurture. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests career or future goals/ambitions will also be involved, as an abrupt readjustment between work and home occurs. Acceptance may be the last thing on your mind, but an open attitude to what’s in front of you can help. Listen and speak with no judgements, and consider if this new path has more to offer. Public speaking and promotions can still work in your favour.
Aspects to Chiron in your sector of personal resources can emphasize a financial shortfall or intensify feelings of insecurity. Rules/limits/judgements involving friends, groups or your place in the community could be the trigger, as you struggle with fears of not having enough. Or, not feeling entitled to having what you need. Planning for the future can help, as you discuss career options/future goals, or map out a strategy to address the areas where you feel weakest. Discussions with those in authority can bring relief.
The Full Moon in your domestic sector suggests endings/results at home or with family will stir up some tension with a partner. Disagreements over nurturing or childcare may be raised, and a discrepancy between what they can give versus what you need will be hi-lighted. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests a surprising announcement or conversation will be part of the picture. Despite the tension, there’s room for growth and understanding, and you may actually have everything you need already. Pay attention to the ongoing shift in your financial and self-esteem requirements. Your security requirements have changed. Watch for opportunities for financial assistance from work, or a chance to earn in a more creative, satisfying field.
Aspects to Chiron in your sign can stir up insecurities related to career, your professional image or dealings with those in authority. Rules or heavy responsibilities can see you questioning if you can handle the burden. In some cases, the responsibilities may be too much; you’ll have to judge if this is something you’re meant to shoulder, or if you should move on. Talking to a guide/mentor, or exploring the bigger picture can help you gain perspective. Too, education, foreign issues or publishing can be areas of release and healing.
The Full Moon in your communication sector can present an answer, final decision or announcement that stirs up insecurities around work or health. Shortfalls in health care or efforts to nurture another will be revealed, and your approach to work/routines may be challenged. The Venus/Uranus opposition adds in unexpected developments with debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. A surprising about-face or change in financial status can rattle your security. However, harmonious aspects to Neptune in your sign suggest there’s plenty of room for forgiveness, release and growth. You may be able to transcend these events, as you discover that the big ending was not such a big deal, after all. What seemed vitally important may be anti-climactic, or less serious than anticipated.
