Overview

The November 29th New Moon in Sagittarius squares the Pisces South Node/Virgo North Node, and Neptune. New potentials are expanded by Neptune, but will also be undefined. The square to the Nodes adds significance – this won’t just be an intriguing/questionable new opportunity, it will be a major opportunity to move in the right direction. But you’ll need to tackle unresolved issues of illusion, deception or lack of focus before you can progress. Ultimately, the path forward involves picking out the genuine, precious details from the distractions. This Moon’s conjunction to Juno suggests new contracts, commitments and relationship power balances will be significant.

The square between Venus in Capricorn and Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx in Aries, also on November 29th, adds a jolt to these new beginnings. Rules around relationships, finances or values will be shaken, for better or worse. Uranus Rx and Ceres Rx suggest the surprising rebirth of a past issue. 

Technically, the Sun/Neptune and Venus/Ceres squares are exact on November 30th.

On December 1st, Chiron stations direct in Pisces, signalling intensification and progress around a painful issue. It’s time to move through it, which means it may hurt more (at first). Fortunately, Mars in Aquarius trines Jupiter in Libra on this day. Action and initiation will get you through the tough spots. This trine suggests right time/right place efforts that work in your favour. You won’t have to struggle. Since Jupiter rules the New Moon, December 1st would be an excellent day to get the ball rolling. 

Finally, December 2nd sees Mercury’s ingress into Capricorn. It’s time to define your ideas and focus your intent. Make it real, make it formal. Watch for my December 2nd post about this transit (including Mercury’s Rx in Capricorn). 

Aries

The New Moon in your sector of opportunities can bring expansive but elusive developments. A new contract, relationship ideal or chance to travel/relocate will need some work before it’s doable in the real world. Too, you may be urged to examine a fantasy/wild expectation in the clear light of day. Venus squaring Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx in your sign can abruptly change the rules in a career matter. An past incident impactingyour freedom and self-expression may come back to life. 

Chiron direct in your sector of secrets can be so subtle that you don’t even feel it. But Mars/Jupiter will reflect the public surge of optimism and progress in all relationships (romantic and platonic) that is connected to background progress around a hidden vulnerability or hurt. Mercury into your career sector gives your voice/thoughts structure, power and looking-ahead ambition. Formal discussions with those in authority may be featured. 

Taurus

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources can make relationship and/or financial developments confusing. On the one hand, it may be time to get closer, invest more, or pool your resources. But boundaries may be unclear, and power imbalances involving money or intimacy will be issues – ultimately, you want to make a decision that increases your confidence while keeping you focused on what you must do to make that happen. Venus squaring Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx suggests a surprising revisit/revision regarding travel, long-distance romance, legal matters, education or publishing. A hidden attraction or ambition may come back to life. 

Chiron direct in your social sector can draw your attention to what you’re lacking in the group, or how you don’t quite fit in. Mars/Jupiter offers a way through this, with a career opportunity – watch for a new job, interview or chance to impress others with your innovation at work. Mercury into your sector of opportunities can help you plan for the future or get more information about legal, travel, education or publishing issues. Formal discussions/inquires are encouraged in these areas.  

Gemini

The New Moon in your partnership sector can bring optimistic relationship developments, or a dreamy new attraction. But the details will need some hammering out. Domestic details, mutual expectations around commitment, or diverging future goals, may be issues. Venus squaring Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can throw in some surprising developments around intimacy and/or shared finances. Watch for an unexpected expense or sudden acceleration into deeper territory. A new relationship may move forward faster than anticipated. Fear of loss, or fear of losing control, could be sub- themes. 

Chiron direct in your career sector can signal progress around a difficult relationship with management, or feelings of insecurity about professional accomplishments. Mars/Jupiter gives you momentum, confidence and manageable risks. Take a leap of faith and you might just leap right over a frustrating professional doubt. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where your actions will be supported. Mercury into your sector of shared resources encourages discussions/research that venture into uncomfortable areas – stick to the rules, keep it structured, and you’ll be ok. 

Cancer

The New Moon in your sector of routine suggests unclear developments involving health, a co-worker relationship, obligations to others or your daily tasks. New information or commitments will have to be clarified. Diagnoses can be difficult to come by at first, and prioritizing/organizing will take extra concentration. It may be up to you to define your new role at work. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can add abrupt developments in a one-on-one relationship (romantic or business). A new attraction, or unexpected shift in how you and someone at work interact, can be exciting and confusing. 

Chiron direct in your sector of opportunities suggests progress in an area that’s felt out of reach or too risky. Mars/Jupiter says that if you turn towards what you know, or work on improving your domestic situation and shared finances (debts, taxes, loans, your partners finances) progress in these personal matters will reverberate outwards. Home improvements or financial assistance/innovations are supported. Mercury into your partnership sector encourages focused, productive relationship discussions. 

Leo

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression can introduce a chance to spend, show off, celebrate or experience a dreamy new attraction. However, care must be taken to separate the promise from the facts, or the unwise gamble from innovative progress. Overspending can be a risk. Business or personal contracts should be examined carefully – make sure the outcome will enhance your security and independence. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can add a curveball to the mix, as these new developments disrupt your routine or work environment. Disruptions can be exciting (for example, a surprising office romance or unexpected assistance) but can rattle you a bit, as an issue that you thought was long gone suddenly resurges. 

Chiron direct in your sector of shared resources suggests progress around sensitive/painful issues involving shared finances or intimacy. Mars/Jupiter indicates that verbal confrontations with a significant other can actually be beneficial, as you put your cards on the table and air your differences. The vibe is assertive, but not unfriendly. Competition can also spur you to push past what you’ve been avoiding. Mercury into your sector of routine adds focused solutions and concrete strategies to work or health issues, while helping you prioritize. 

Virgo

The New Moon in your domestic sector asks you to focus on and clarify what matters most. Family, romantic relationships or relocation/home issues can be uncertain, and you may feel the pressure of increased expectations. Look at where your commitment lies, and decide if the amount of focus is undermining or strengthening you. You may simply need to buckle down, ignore the distractions, and prioritize what you know is healthiest. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx adds a financial or emotional jolt – you may find that you care more than you realized, or have to spend more than anticipated. Too, the urge to impress/attract may come out of nowhere. 

Chiron direct in your relationship sector can ease you past a partnership sore spot or anxiety. Mars/Jupiter keeps you rolling with what you do best – practical, feet-on-the-ground actions that boost your security and confidence. This could mark a turning point where you decide to quite fretting and just do what needs to be done. You can capitalize on new emotional developments, or potential sources of income. Mercury into your sector of self-expression sees you planning for what you crave – structured communication and ideas can help you nail down what you want, or how to approach someone. 

Libra

The New Moon in your communication sector can bring a turning-point conversation or revelation. A contract, commitment or relationship is ripe to become your next, ultimate goal. Or, it may be time to let it dissolve. The key to understanding which will be movement away from what’s been undermining you. Obviously, you want to move forward. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx adds surprising partnership developments – what you thought was defined may be up for a change. Too, a hot new attraction can open up your concept of what’s possible.

Mercury into your domestic sector gets you focused on the bottom line – family discussions, mortgage/rental agreements or taking stock of your current situation. 

Scorpio

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources can open up a new emotional opportunity, earning potential or desire to spend. The urge to get more will be strong, but the consequences will not be clear (yet). New financial or work contracts are a possibility. Too, this could be an opportunity to go public with something creative or personal. Public results could expand more rapidly than expected. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can trigger a surprising flirtation, or unexpected contact/message that, along with the New Moon, shakes your security by helping you realize the truth about what you really want. Too, issues with siblings can present an unexpected turn. 

Chiron direct in your sector of self-expression can help you develop a more accepting attitude towards your lack of confidence, fear of being seen, or (alternatively) resentment about not being seen. Issues with children/pregnancy can also be sensitive. Initially, the pain associated with these areas may intensify, but Mars/Jupiter offers background, baseline support and forward momentum where it matters most. Someone close to you, or your access to a hidden well of faith, can carry you forward. Domestic changes are especially favoured. Mercury into your communication sector gives you an intellectual and communicative edge. You’ll have the exact words, insight and mental discipline to make sense of, and respond to, what’s happening. 

Sagittarius

The New Moon in your sign hi-lights a relationship, career or lifestyle issue. The next chapter is here, with a chance to grow into the future while saying goodbye to an old family or domestic issue. A relationship commitment could reach a turning point. Too, you could see an opportunity to grow your business, or move along a career path that’s more appealing. The trick will be to avoid falling back on old habits that involve carelessness, half-hearted attempts or lack of focus. Even if the goal is not yet clear, keep pushing forward and don’t allow inflated fears or expectations to undermine you. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx adds an unexpected expense, purchase or desire for attention to the mix. You may surprise yourself with how much you want this.

Don’t ignore it – you’re meant to confront, embrace and take the sting out. Mars/Jupiter gives you a shot of hope, with an encouraging conversation, friendship or ability to easily tackle the awkward discussions. If a painful conversation needs to happen, these influences encourage you to come out and say it. Mercury into your sector of personal resources can increase your financial and emotional savvy – facts and strategy are powerful tools to get what you need. 

Capricorn

The New Moon in your hidden sector can nudge you with a gut feeling, hint or private acknowledgement. Something will slowly start to emerge, regarding your next plan or how you should phrase a certain request. A newly emerging commitment/contract may be part of the deal, as changes are made to accommodate a new reality. Venus in your sign square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can trigger an unexpected attraction, or see you doing a 180 regarding matters of the heart. There may be a different way to get what you want. Too, this could be the time when you decide to shake up your public image, or spice up your appearance.

A public announcement or open acknowledgment of what was hidden are possibilities. 

Aquarius

The New Moon in your social sector opens a door regarding a friendship, future goal, group association or public cause. The initial steps may be shaky, as you question the wisdom of what you’re committing to. In some cases, this could be about dissolving what’s been undermining your security, and starting fresh. Forward means a total commitment to the new plan- no holding back, no backing out. This is about getting real and getting vulnerable, which (paradoxically) will enhance your security (if you do it right). Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx adds a surprising reveal about feelings/attraction/money. What develops on this New Moon may catch you off guard, but the end game can result in your enhanced passion and happiness.

Long- distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are favoured, as is fighting for a cause that’s fired your passion (or anger). Mercury into your hidden sector sees you working the next phase of your plan, already. 

Pisces

The New Moon in your career sector can widen your view of the future.

But first, you’ll have to clarify that fantasy or issue you’ve been avoiding. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx adds unexpected public meetings, attractions or changes in a friendship. An underlying theme may involve the return to a fear of loss, and a new way to deal with it.

Overview

November 21st kicks off Sagittarius season, as the Sun enters the sign of expansion, trust and inspiration. From November 22nd to 23rd, Mercury in Sagittarius defines the season with a hopeful sextile to Jupiter in Libra, and a focused conjunction to Saturn. Promises, big ideas or the sales pitch will be proven or denied. Saturn clarifies a commitment or narrows the field of vision. On November 26th, Mercury’s painful square to Chiron Rx in Pisces suggest that communication/ideas will reveal some bruises. But Mercury’s trine to Uranus Rx in Aries urges you to keep talking, looking ahead or considering alternatives. Don’t allow an unpleasant realization to shut you down. 

November 24th brings the first of three, ultra-powerful Jupiter/Pluto squares. Jupiter in Libra’s social ideals and expansion will create tension with Pluto in Capricorn. This tension will enhance the drive for achievement. The square is a crisis aspect, and crisis can push you to get what you want, or it can push you too far. Venus in Capricorn conjoins Pluto on November 25th, adding love, money and self-esteem issues to the mix. There’s potential for significant gain, but also potential for loss if you tip over into obsessive behaviour. 

Aries

The Sun into your sector of opportunities spotlights travel, education, legal matters, publishing or exploration. Aspects to Mercury in your opportunities sector will focus you on one opportunity or official statement/document. You may zero in on a specific path, or receive an answer. Too, an ideal can be crystallized or denied, depending on its validity. Unacknowledged doubts or unforeseen issues may bring up questions/unpleasant news, but Mercury’s trine to Uranus Rx in your sign encourages you to keep an open mind, no matter what the outcome. There may be an unexpected silver lining. 

Venus in your career sector triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square. A professional relationship could heat up, with an intense confrontation between personal ideals versus professional status. Ambition, competitiveness and your relationship with authority will impact your professional image. There’s potential for success, if you handle these energies carefully and remain as balanced as you can. Too, a partner’s success can feel threatening. 

Taurus

The Sun into your sector of shared resources shines a light on private issues, or areas where you don’t have complete control. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy may be hot-button topics, and aspects to Mercury in this sector can trigger serious discussion. Financial or emotional matters may demand clarification of details and boundaries. Consider how confronting certain realities can help you move ahead in your daily life. External events/comparisons with others can draw your attention to what’s lacking, but creative/unusual ideas can throw a surprising solution at you. Watch for a last-minute reprieve or crazy idea that just might work. 

Venus in your sector of opportunities triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square. Travel, education, legal matters, long-distance romance or publishing can be exciting but stressful. There may be a massive push to move forward in these areas, but you maytake it too far. Balance new developments with daily realities, and moderate enthusiasm with common sense. Use extra caution with legal matters or causes/crusades – avoid getting locked into a power struggle, or launching yourself at a more powerful opponent. 

Gemini

The Sun into your partnership sector hi-lights faith, shared beliefs and mutual growth ina relationship. Aspects to Mercury in this sector make joint goals, your approach to romance/children/commitment, pressing topics – it may be time to clarify exactly what each person hopes for. Too, there may be a reality-check answer or ultimatum. Discussions can reveal insecurities or clashing ideals about a future goal. Rather than allowing uncomfortable words to shut the discussion down, keep talking and searching for alternatives- there’s room for both partners in areas that you may not have considered.  There may be touchy discussions in a business partnership, but pressing forward with a more detached approach will help. Fresh contributions from others can deliver solutions. 

Venus in your sector of shared resources triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square. Shared finances or physical/emotional intimacy can be areas of dramatic gain, intense passion, or extreme overindulgence. A new attraction can enter obsessive territory, or an existing relationship can experience a surge of renewed life. Too, expectations of what someone else wants may be inflated. There’s opportunity for lucrative investment, but you can easily lose control and spend far more than you should. The temptation to go all in (financially or emotionally) will be strong. Just make sure you’re fully aware of what you’re getting into, and how much you can afford. 

Cancer

The Sun into your sector of routine spotlights health, self-improvement and work matters. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can help you organize and upgrade. Prioritizing facts, tasks and new information is supported, as well as a diagnosis or verbalized/written obligation. Discussions and information may feel restrictive, but you’ll also know exactly what you have to do, and others will know what you can do for them. A step-by-step approach can help you deal with big-picture developments that overwhelm you. Your calm expansion can also get favourable attention from those in authority, while enabling progress for a developing career path. Support your future by making the most of your present. 

Venus in your relationship sector triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square. An intense new relationship can dramatically expand your domestic situation, or an existing relationship can challenge you with a leap of faith. Positive developments can feel overwhelming. The urge to move things along ASAP will be powerful, but if you push, you’ll likely trigger resistance or power struggles. Change has arrived in your personal life, and growth is guaranteed. But how you handle this will spell the difference between success or failure. 

Leo

The Sun into your sector of self-expression may emphasize a desire, indulgence or new attraction. Performance, play or children/pregnancy may also be themes. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can see you getting serious and defining your intentions, even as you receive playful or encouraging information. Too, you may receive an answer that clarifies what you’ll receive for your efforts. Financial or emotional insecurity can undermine your confidence, or result in some hurtful exchanges. Too, you could end up saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Try to rise above the uncomfortable moment and keep your eye on the future – there are more possibilities waiting for you, if you have the confidence to keep looking. 

Venus in your sector of routine triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square. Health, work or co-worker issues can bring a mix of hopeful and stressful developments. There may be a rush of good news or more work, but you feel overwhelmed and unsure how to prioritize. Too, you may enthusiastically take on more obligations than you can handle. Watch the line between personal and professional, with co-workers. 

Virgo

The Sun into your domestic sector hi-lights family, home business, relocation or domestic improvements. Aspects to Mercury in this sector suggest signing/finalizing home documents, divorce papers, or other legal matters involving family. Too, Mercury can help you clarify and prioritize domestic obligations and/or future plans. Discussions with a partner can stir up hurt feelings, but if you keep exploring alternatives (especially involving shared resources and intimacy) you’ll see a light at the end of the tunnel. 

Venus in your sector of self-expression triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square, turning up the heat on a romantic or financial issue. Your desire for more, to be seen/appreciated , or to feel special, can result in some exaggerated risks. There is potential to get what you want (including attention) but you may also get more than you bargained for. Before you spend, demand or put yourself out there, make sure you’re prepared for what you’ll get.  

Libra

The Sun into your sector of communication can push you to speak out or pursue the truth. Sibling issues may also be in the spotlight. Aspects to Mercury in this sector will urge you to prove your words/qualifications, or someone else may present a formal statement/verbal commitment. Mercury’s sextile to Jupiter in your sign enhances your intuition, inspiration or desire to learn. Not everything you hear will be favourable, and you may have to deal with unpleasant, practical details. But others can keep things moving forward via an inspiring collaboration or partnership. 

Venus in your domestic sector triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square. Opportunity, luck or expansion has brought you to this point – you want to move up, but you’re colliding with issues involving family or the past. Efforts to improve things at home/in your personal life can bring rewards if you find your centre – it will be easy to lose your perspective and overdo it, as you push too hard for a certain outcome. 

Scorpio

The Sun into your sector of personal resources may hi-light a financial or self-esteem issue. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can narrow down your earning, budgeting or emotional options, while clarifying your values. Here is what’s essential to your survival. You may have to deal with unpleasant news in the form of a rejection, or dent to your confidence. Nonetheless, know that you’re hooked into progressive changes (in you work or daily life) that arehelping you get more of what you need.

Venus in your communication sector triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square, suggesting dramatic statements, intense conversations or revelations. News/discussions can be passionate and compelling, while giving you hope that a dream or background potential will see the light of day. Just make sure that promises are in line with reality, and watch out for all-or-nothing statements. Leave room for some compromise, or a Plan B.  

Sagittarius

The Sun into your sign brings you to that once-a-year moment when you take stock. Has your trust been rewarded? Have you backed up your promises and truths with solid evidence? The Sun gives you power, but it’s the power of awareness. What’s up for this year? Aspects to Mercury in your sign almost immediately push you to a conclusion or commitment – you’ll know what’s viable, what you can deliver, and what needs more work. Mercury can signal an announcement, official document, fixed goal or serious discussion. Some ideas or discussions may be coloured by painful issues from the past, or uncomfortable domestic issues. But you’ve also got your eye on a fresh avenue of expression or exciting future development. 

Venus in your sector of personal resources triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square, bringing a tremendous push for satisfaction, attainment and security. There may be something you have your eye on: a new source of income, an expensive item or a relationship need that must be met. You can get what you want, but step carefully – the “must have” vibe can result in some obsessive or extreme behaviour. 

Capricorn

The Sun into your hidden sector hi-lights what’s unspoken or undeveloped. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can clarify a secret, unacknowledged issue or vague hint that you’re having trouble pinning down. There could be a quiet conclusion, as you secretly shut a door on the past. At the same time, know that what’s being clarified is also supporting your career and future goals. Some behind-the-scenes issues may result in public discussions that are hurtful. Sibling issues can be touchy. However,  the wheel is turning in the right direction, and that’s forward. All developments are pushing you towards the future, as you create a brand new life for yourself. 

Venus in your sign, conjunct Pluto, triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square. You’re being gifted with a significant moment of gain. Your personal or professional image is looking good, and there’s a chance for you to achieve and attract, while gaining influence over others. A new job or promotion is possible. Use this gift wisely, because the shadow side includes manipulating or dominating others – the careless use of Pluto’s power alwaysresults in an unpleasant backlash. 

Aquarius

The Sun into your social sector spotlights friendships, your place in the group, or your desire to make a difference in the big picture. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can signal a serious discussion with a friend, or a realization that a friendship is over. Boundaries and maturity may be issues, and discussions cut to the heart of your emotional insecurities. Too, Mercury can bring a public announcement/speech, or clarification of group activities. Keep looking forward and considering new options, especially if a door closes. There is more for you to see, do and contribute. 

Venus in your hidden sector triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square – pay attention to an overlooked or secret desire, attraction or goal. What you really want, but are not publicly acknowledging, may be driving your desire for escape/exploration. Too, developments involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing can intensify an urge that you’ve been avoiding. 

Pisces

The Sun into your career sector shines a light on your future and professional image. Aspects to Mercury in this sector suggest a crucial discussion with management, the crystallization of your authority, or enhanced focus/pressure at work. Mercury’s square to Chiron in your sign suggests discussions/information about career can trigger doubts about your qualifications or ability to succeed. Too, official discussions/an interview may not go the way you’d hoped. However, know that you’re also hooked into something that can lead to more income, or new/innovative ways of enhancing your security. If something doesn’t work out, there’s a better opportunity coming up. 

Venus in your social sector triggers the Jupiter/Pluto square, suggesting an intense new attraction, drive for social recognition or increase in your public impact. What happens publicly will be driven by private or unconscious ideals. New social connections can draw your attention something that you want to achieve or transform. As you interact with others, watch for attempts to dominate or manipulate.

Overview

November 14th’s Full Moon in Taurus opposes Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio, adding more intense shadings to the usual Taurus drive for security. Confirming abundance or shutting it down (being shut down) may involve some uncomfortable dynamics. Fear of being cast out, or the need for self-sufficiency at all costs, could be issues. Lilith’s presence adds urgency and exposes true motivations. 

November 17th sees Neptune Rx conjoin the Pisces South Node – Neptune stations direct on November 19th. Past and karmic issues reach a peak, as you’re urged to look to the future. Whether you’re letting go or making a potential real, the Virgo North Node is your goal- fix it, improve it and get a handle on the particulars. On November 18th, Mercury (the North Node ruler) in Sagittarius brings you a choice as it squares Neptune and the Nodes. A key person, conversation or piece of information will draw your attention to a lie, crisis of faith, or pervasive fantasy. The choice you make will be a crucial part of your next step (if you decide to take that next step). How to decide? Get focused and separate fact from fiction. You can do it – the red flag is a longing for “the way things were” or a resistance to looking at the details.  Tackle what you’re avoiding – take it apart, piece by piece. 

Aries

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources urges financial or emotional commitment. Results may leave you feeling prosperous or isolated/denied(depending on your chart). You’ll commit to letting go of what doesn’t belong to you, or working with something that’s going to increase in value. Buried issues involving intimacy/manipulation may be part of the mix.

Neptune and the South Node in your hidden sector can signal a time-is-ripe moment to release an addiction/delusion, or carry a dream forward into the real world. Mercurywill offer big hopes (involving travel, legal matters, education or publishing) but make sure what you hear or read can be applied on a practical level. There’s a chance to go big, or reach a wider audience, but the details must make sense. For some, the choice may consist of going public, or keeping it hidden, once and for all. 

Taurus

The Full Moon in your sign brings you to a turning point, involving relationships, public identity or personal values. Whether you cut someone/something out of your life, or commit to preserving and building up what you have, there’s no turning back.  In the process, a partner’s unacknowledged side could be revealed. 

Neptune and the South Node in your sector of groups can finalize a friendship, group association or public cause. There may be a choice between romantic versus platonic, or the group versus your personal goals. Mercury will push you to look closer, or engage in an intimate discussion. If you don’t like what you see or hear, you can always back away, but you can’t pretend that it didn’t happen. Your path forward involves having the courage to explore what you really want, while separating facts from the false leads. 

Gemini

The Full Moon in your hidden sector can solidify a background potential or desire. Something of real value may be tucked away, right beside you. Too, an uncomfortable work issue can come to light, and you may have more involvement in it than you realized. 

Neptune and the South Node in your career sector say that now is the time to make an adjustment regarding career versus personal life. Home, family or a domestic relationship are crucial decision points, as you take your next steps into the future. A job or career goal may end, or you might make the shift from working for someone else to self-employment. Mercury says that a significant person has important information that’s crucial to your decision, but don’t get confused between what you want for them versus what you want. Don’t allow their agenda to blur the issue. 

Cancer

The Full Moon in your social sector can push you across the line regarding a friendship, your public image or a public launch/cause. It may be time to wrap things up or confirm that you’re in this for the long haul, by solidifying what you stand for. Personal agendas involving jealousy or the desire to be seen/appreciated may be at the root of things. 

Neptune and the South Node in your sector of opportunities can signal a turning point involving legal matters, long distance issues, education or publishing. Disillusionment, or the struggle to make a belief real, may be themes. Too, it may be time to put something into writing or publicly declare your ideas, and Mercury will push you to walk your talk. Deciding issues could involve daily routines, work or health matters. The challenge will involve bringing the big picture down to earth and making the details fit into your daily life. 

Leo

The Full Moon in your career sector signals a culmination regarding your relationship with those in authority, your career path or position at work. How much you’re valued may be an issue, and deeper motivations involving resentment or the need to be seen/respected for who you are, will be important. 

Neptune and the South Node in your sector of shared resources pushes you to get real about shared finances or an intimate connection. Debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances will need to be clarified, quantified and entered into the spreadsheet. Conversations about physical/emotional intimacy might happen, with facts that you’ve been avoiding. What’s crucial for your security and self-esteem will be key. Mercury urges you to think bigger, but the trick is expanding what’s real, rather than more secrets, escapists habits or addictions. Another choice may involve letting a pleasurable but undermining situation go. 

Virgo

The Full Moon in your opportunities sector can bring an announcement, confirmation or ending regarding travel plans, legal matters, education or publishing. A theory, or something you’ve put faith in, can be made real. Or, you may discover that it has no value after all. The honest but unsightly words that no one wants to hear may be part of the deal. Too, events may push you to come out with a potent declaration. 

Neptune and the South Node in your partnership sector signal a major relationship shift. A meeting with someone new, or a change in an existing relationship, will be part of you wrapping up old illusions/anxieties about partnership. Finally letting go of what was never meant to be, or releasing undermining worries and guilt, can move you along the path towards recognizing precisely who you are and what you have to offer. Self-improvement (always a concern for you) will be an issue, as will clarifying your future. Mercury can trigger an important conversation with a partner, involving your shared futures and domestic hopes. The key will be clarifying what you each want, and facing any discrepancies head on. For some, this may involve the reveal of a lie or secret. 

Libra

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources suggests an all-or nothing situation regarding debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. There will either be a complete investment or total shut down. Self-preservation, recognition of your true desires, or getting to the heart of what makes you a survivor may be issues. 

Neptune and the South Node in your sector of routine can shift gears with a health or work issue. There may be a job ending, departure in your workplace, or need to release certain habits that have been impacting your health. There’s a need to apply current information to something that’s less obvious – your intuition, or what’s developing in the background. Mercury can bring a key person or conversation as catalyst – watch for an increase in your awareness of what’s beyond the surface.

Scorpio

The Full Moon in your partnership sector, opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in your sign, raise the relationship stakes. A partnership turning point should be very clear – absolute ending or solid commitment. Key issues will be your need to be your powerful self, even if it makes others uncomfortable. Someone may project their deepest fear and desire onto you. Too, if you’ve been expressing distorted versions of BML (vengeance, emotional destruction) those behaviours will be illuminated.

Neptune and the South Node in your sector of self-expression says it’s time to let go of the romantic/creative dream, or go public with it. Issues with children/pregnancy may also be hi-lighted. Something deeply personal and desirable may be on the line, and Mercury asks you to speak up/clarify. However, financial and security issues can muddle things – look carefully at new and unproven sources of income, or how you’ve been expressing your needs. Make sure everyone hears exactly what you’re saying, and the fine print is not being overlooked. Be especially careful when signing documents. 

Sagittarius

The Full Moon in your sector of routine illuminates a background issue involving health, work and/or unacknowledged gender dynamics. Sexual politics may be a stronger feature in your daily life than you suspected. Too, what’s stirred up can reveal an untried improvement or workaround.

Neptune and the South Node in your domestic sector intensify past and family issues. You’re meant to confront and release, or (if appropriate) find a way to carry something from the past into your future.  A more disciplined, professional outlook can help you get control over domestic issues or entrenched habits. Mercury in your sign offers you a choice – stick with what you’ve always done or move forward and upgrade your professional image/career/job prospects. An opportunity for growth may present itself, but you’ll have to separate the facts from the wishful thinking. 

Capricorn

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression can put you or your accomplishments in the spotlight. A romantic or creative result could make you proud and enhance your confidence. There may be a launch or promotion. But if there is an ending or denial,  you’ll know exactly where you stand. Public expressions of jealousy, or not fitting in with the group, may be issues.  

Neptune and the South Node in your communication sector can finalize an ongoing conversation, situation with siblings, or efforts to make something official. Watch for a significant shift in your thought process as you let go of an idea or push to make it public/take it further/find proof. Mercury can stir up hope and doubt in equal parts – the trick will be discerning what you suspect from what you imagine. A secret or overlooked piece of intel could be instrumental in turning it all around. 

Aquarius

The Full Moon in your domestic sector can solidify a family issue, or see you closing the door on the past. Too, a relocation or decision about your future may take shape. Tensions at work, or regarding your professional image, may be part of the package – resistance to your power, difficulty fitting in with the establishment, or gender politics, may be troubling issues. 

Neptune and the South Node in your sector of personal resources can mark a significant shift in your earned money, or what you need to feel secure. It may be time to address an imbalance between material versus emotional/spiritual satisfaction, whether this means making do with less, or pursuing a new line of emotional and financial abundance. In some cases, there may be a push to take a relationship to a deeper level. Mercury offers you choices via the opinions of others, or your place in the group. A friendship or group activity can offer an important message regarding your next step – stick with old definitions of security (and fear) or take a chance and move deeper into what can ultimately be more enriching. 

Pisces

The Full Moon in your sector of communication brings a turning-point conversation, answer, official document or decision. This will be the results of an ideal, philosophy, law or distant issue, brought down to earth. It may be time to respond to an uncomfortable but crucial matter that many are fighting against. 

Neptune and the South Node in your sign mark a turn of the tide for you. What’s been building or lingering will now recede, or move forward. This could involve a relationship, identity or career issue. For some, there may be a fated meeting with someone who will play a major role in your future. The overall theme is taking what you hope for/dream about, and translate it into solid facts. If it can’t be itemized and upgraded, it’s not going to last. This isn’t very romantic or spiritual, but there comes a time when the dream has to manifest. Mercury gives a choice regarding your future focus – look to the past (and keep it alive) or turn towards the horizon. Mercury square Neptune and the South Node in your sign can create a crisis of faith, as you wonder what to believe. Someone in authority can be a catalyst for this. When in doubt, remember that your path forward is about making it better and making it real.

Overview

There’s a major energetic shift this week, as three planets change signs.

November 9th sees Mars’ Aquarius ingress. Actions, anger and passion may become more detached, or focused on breaking away from constricting rules. Mars in Aquarius can trigger the fight for a social cause, or an unexpected burst of innovation. Venus enters Capricorn on November 11th, adding focus and savvy to relationship, financial and self-esteem issues. Proven value and traditional expressions of love and beauty will be emphasized. On November 12th, Mercury heads into Sagittarius, broadening the scope of communication and ideas. All theories become possible (but not proven), and expansive promises will grow.

This is a mixed bag of influences – something for everyone. We’ve got Air, Earth and Fire, Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed. Even if you don’t feel each transit individually, you’re certain to feel an overall change in the atmosphere as different themes take precedence.

Aries

Mars into your social sector can introduce new friends, group activities or social causes. The mood is active, with the possibility of conflict with others. Good for trying something outside the usual, or interacting with those outside your regular social circle. Venus into your career sector encourages social ambition. Strategic career relationships will be important, as will polishing your professional image. Venus can give you a favourable shine, especially to those in authority. Mercury into your opportunities sector can open up the lines of communication regarding travel, legal matters, education or publishing. There may be a rapid download of new information/ideas. Teaching, studying and gaining a wider audience for your words is favoured.

Taurus

Mars into your career sector can pump up your ambition to move forward, or move out of a constricting role. A job search can be revitalized, but use a bit of caution when dealing with those in authority – your edgy attitude may not be appreciated. Venus into your opportunities sector focuses you on a particular desire – long distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing may offer something that you really want. Mercury into your sector of shared resources can trigger discussions/information about debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Sensitivesubjects are best approached with an open attitude – consider a new angle, and work on dropping knee-jerk judgements. There may be more to discover or discuss , but you’ll never know if you shut down before the conversation starts. 

Gemini

Mars into your sector of opportunities can see you charging into brand new territory. Travel, education, legal matters, publishing or exploration are all ripe for action. Freedom to move and (possibly) fight for something will be themes. Venus into your sector of personal resources can see you getting serious about a relationship or financial matter. There’s potential for increased intimacy or financial assistance and you’ll be ready to focus in order to achieve a desired result. Mercury in your relationship sector can keep the conversation flowing between you and a partner. All one-on-one relationships should receive a friendly boost, with more for both of you to say, and new interests to share. If you’re single, this transit can open your eyes to a new relationship approach, or new attraction. 

Cancer

Mars into your sector of shared resources can stir up conflicts that come at you unexpectedly. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy can feel edgy. But Mars can also stir up added passion and innovative ways to handle your finances. The main challenge with this transit is that the tremendous energy will not be totally under your control – someone else may be calling the shots. Fortunately, Venus into your partnership sector improves all one-on-one connections. Attractions can solidify into real potential, and existing partnerships can achieve stability, if you look at the reality in front of you. Venus asks you to focus on what you can control (your ability to compromise and be an adult in relationships), even as Mars stirs up things that you can’t control. Mercury into your sector of routine can keep you busy with more work tasks/work conversations, added fixes/improvements or information about your health. Mercury can also be a breath of fresh air if a particular problem has been frustrating you – watch for inspiration or helpful conversations. 

Leo

Mars into your relationship sector can trigger passion or disruption in an existing partnership. Your partner’s freedom to be themselves may be an issue. New attractions, or any new one-on-one contacts, are likely to be a bit edgy. Venus into your sector of routine can improve issues with co-workers, health and daily tasks. You’ll find it easier to attract to the assistance you need, and the results of your work/improvements can also attract a financial boost. Mercury into your sector of self-expression can lead to some flirtatious moments, while boosting your confidence and creativity. Excellent for inspiration that’s put into words.  

Virgo

Mars into your sector of routine can keep you busy with added obligations, tasks or medical issues. However, you can also discover innovative approaches and solutions that keep you on top of your game. The key will be trying it in a different way, or actively pursuing a different fix. Venus into your sector of self-expression can help you solidify a new romance, creative project or desired goal. Your confidence can also increase, and this will all depend on your ability to focus on what you want. Get real about a desired goal and apply some practical strategies. Mercury in your domestic sector indicates more discussions with family, or more information pertaining to a relocation, home business, rental or mortgage agreement. Keep your eyes open for new, more positive options. Especially helpful for breaking free from ingrained family issues. 

Libra

Mars into your sector of self-expression can trigger a hot new attraction, or push you forward to show off what you’ve got. This transit stimulates your creativity, social sparkle and urge to celebrate, all while giving you the initiative to do it your way. Venus into your domestic sector can increase your desire to decorate or purchase – you’ll be looking at items that create a sense of domestic beauty and status. Family relationships can also improve, as long as accepted traditions are followed. Mercury into your sector of communication opens the door to new contacts and fresh ideas. This can be a busy time, with a rush of emails, phone calls and brief meetings. Possibilities and hopes will expand.

Scorpio

Mars into your domestic sector can stir up family conflicts, renovations or breakdowns around the home. The theme will be breaking away from the past, so the positive side to this could be a relocation (literal or metaphorical) that disrupts ties with outdated habits. Even some simple renovations can inject fresh energy. Venus into your communication sector helps you put the best things into words, while allowing you to recognize the value of certain promises, compliments, or new contacts. If you need to communicate something in a way that charms or convinces, this is your transit. Mercury into your sector of personal resources suggests optimistic conversations or ideas about money/personal values. New sources of income, discussions about salary or attempts to communicate what you need, are all favoured. 

Sagittarius

Mars into your sector of communications suggests fighting words – you may assert your opinions, especially if an ideal or future inspiration is on the table. Too, someone else may toss a revolutionary new idea in your lap. It won’t be a smooth ride, but it will keep things interesting. Sibling issues may also flare up. Venus into your sector of personal resources gets you focused on what you need, financially and emotionally. And your chances of attracting what you need improve, as long as you employ strategy, realism and focus. This transit can clue you into what has real value, and what should be avoided. Mercury into your sign gifts you with even more opinions than usual. Combined with Mars in your communication sector, the next month will give you plenty to say. New ideas, contacts and ideals will push your buttons, and you may do some button pushing yourself. Great if you need to promote something, but know that it will be very easy to get sucked into verbal battles (especially on social media). It would be a shame to waste all this energy – pick your causes wisely. 

Capricorn

Mars into your sector of personal resources can trigger spurts of income, or spending. Mars can also gift you with innovation about how to earn more, and increased motivation to go after what you need. Venus into your sign blends well with this Mars position- Venus can attract desirable and lucrative situations/people, so what you want is right in front you. And Mars is positioned to help you do something about it. Mercury into your hidden sector sharpens your intuition and creativity. Background issues, secrets, gossip and unexplored potentials are areas where you can learn more. 

Aquarius

Mars into your sign says it’s go time for a background potential or issue that’s been simmering over the past month. Your energy, ambition, passion and possibly anger will be on the rise. There’s something you’re considering pursuing, and the warrior planet doesn’t visit your sign every day. Make good use of the extra fire in your corner. In contrast to Mars, Venus into your hidden sector can see you holding back (or keeping secrets) where an attraction or personal desire is concerned. It’s appropriate to keep something on the back burner for now, while you suss out its true value. Mercury into your social sector can boost interactions with friends and groups. You may reach out and contact friends, or make some new contacts. This influence is also supportive of a public forum for your opinions.

Pisces

Mars into your hidden sector can damp down your motivation, or redirect it towards a background issue. Energy may be lower, or you may find it easier to deal with less structured issues. Personal freedom and down time may be at the top of your list. Venus into your social sector could make downtime difficult to come by, as this transit can attract people to you. Friends and groups can provide positive, stable experiences. Mercury into your career sector can bring more meetings, professional contacts and work discussions. A job search can receive an injection of new leads/interviews.

Overview

Easing forward from the Scorpio New Moon (discussed in last week’s horoscopes) Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune Rx in Pisces on October 30th, and the Pisces South Node on October 31st. As ruler of the Virgo North Node, Mercury’s aspects suggest an integration between past and future. There’s an almost effortless flow of ideas, conversation or understanding, that pushes you in the right direction. The Scorpio Sun continues the flow on November 1st as it trines Neptune, and November 2nd, when it trines the South Node. November 3rd features a quietly supportive sextile between Mercury in Scorpio and Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) in Capricorn – the genuine idea, promise or answer will have the power to change things. 

October 30th to November 3rd are crucial days. Developments may not be dramatic, but they should be unmistakable. Whether you’re working with a future potential, or letting something go, there will be no struggle to make it happen. If it’s meant to be, things will fall into place and you’ll feel the profound truth in your gut. 

Venus in Sagittarius squares Chiron Rx in Pisces on November 4th, and trines Uranus Rx in Aries on November 5th. Venus/Uranus is the sparkling, new potential. Social, financial, creative or self-esteem issues receive an infusion of healthy risk and inspiration. But Venus/Chiron is there to remind you of the discomfort or embarrassment if you go too far. Nonetheless,  a harmonious aspect between Venus and Uranus encourages you to try something new. And Mercury’s trine to Chiron Rx (November 6th) presents added insight, or the ability to craft an apology, if things go wrong. If you look deeply enough and keep your ears open, Chiron’s sore spot should not catch you by surprise. 

Aries

The Sun and Mercury in your sector of shared resources can ease you along the path to deeper knowledge. Understanding about yourself or another can unfold, as secrets come to light and issues from the past are gently released. Discussion about shared finances, psychological processes, dreams or intimacy can be helpful in bringing a matter into the light, or getting real about a buried issue. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of opportunities will nudge you towards something new and enticing, even as background fears or vulnerabilities whisper in your ear. The trine to Uranus Rx in your sign is quite positive for matters involving long distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing. There’s risk, but even more reward. 

Taurus

The Sun and Mercury in your partnership sector suggest moments of harmony, open communication and smooth rapport. Heavy subjects can be explored easily. In some cases, a goodbye could be gently finalized. The one-on-one relationship could be platonic or romantic. Contacts with the public, or efforts to expose your work to a wider audience, are favoured. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources can trigger insecurities or painful moments involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. However, watch for a hint that things are moving in the right direction. Moments of sensitivity, or taking things a bit too far, can ultimately clear the way for progress, especially if you use the Mercury/Chiron trine to broach uncomfortable subjects. 

Gemini

The Sun and Mercury in your sector of routine suggest smooth developments regarding work tasks, career, or health matters. Ideals blend with reality, your contributions at work are appreciated, and long-range goals/dreams are easily integrated with your daily life. Solutions and improvements, on a personal or professional level, can also unfold nicely as you progress towards healthier, more productive habits. 

Aspects to Venus in your partnership sector can open up potentials (in a new or existing relationship) while triggering moments of caution. A fresh attraction, new social scene or urge to experiment can liven up your love life, but this may clash with some professional issues. Use caution if mixing business with pleasure – your professional image could be impacted.

Cancer  

The Sun and Mercury in your sector of self-expression can encourage open communication with a new romantic interest, or inspiration (and a receptive audience) for creative work. You can connect the dots between a distant hope that you haven’t acted on, and the immediate facts. In some cases, there may be a release of something unrealistic. If so, the ending should be almost painless. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine can encourage you to try something different, (or keep trying) regarding a health or work issue. A frustrating co-worker relationship, medical issue or ongoing task can leave you feeling ineffective, but don’t give up- exploring other alternatives or considering an unusual approach can work in your favour.  

Leo

The Sun and Mercury in your domestic sector suggest quiet times at home, by yourself or with family. Thoughts/discussions about the past, or emotional/financial issues can be productive, increasing your sense of control over issues that are difficult to confront. Progress in domestic finances or relocation is favoured. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression can urge you to take a romantic or creative risk, even as you have doubts about making yourself vulnerable. Putting your heart or wallet on the line may have some consequences, so move forward with caution. However, know that there are exciting opportunities for you to explore.

Virgo

The Sun and Mercury in your communication sector add juice to your ideas, inspiration, and daily communications (especially with a partner). Empathy and insight can increase, while Mercury (as ruler of the North Node in your sign) indicates that a project or lifestyle improvement can progress smoothly. The key will be accepting and working with the insight and instinctive hints that you’ll be gifted with. 

Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector can open the door to progress in a family situation or domestic partnership. Change will trigger some fears, especially if someone steps outside their comfort zone, or sensitive partnership issues are triggered. Nonetheless, know that you’re on track, and you have all the emotional and financial resources you need. Home improvements are also favoured. 

Libra

The Sun and Mercury in your sector of personal resources can open your eyes to powerful but subtle ideas about earned money, sources of income or discussions about your baseline needs. If you need more money, support or security, let others know. Daily routines, tasks or health issues are favoured. These energies can also help you see past immediate issues and into the less obvious facts. 

Aspects to Venus in your communication sector can add some excitement to romantic/flirtatious communications. There’s an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and say something you wouldn’t normally consider, even as this triggers anxieties about saying the wrong thing. Too, a partner/potential partner may reach out unexpectedly. 

Scorpio

The Sun and Mercury in your sign gift you with added compassion, insight and magnetic communication. Your usual powers of perception are more potent, as you effortlessly say the right thing in a creative or romantic scenario. Excellent for making an intriguing first impression, hooking someone with the power of your words, or promoting your work to a wider audience. These influences can also help you manifest a personal goal. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources can increase your urge to spend or take an emotional risk. There’s nothing wrong with treating yourself, but be aware of the line between feeling good and going too far. Use Mercury in your sign to look closely at reasons why you might take something too far. Too, Mercury/Chiron can open the door to a healing conversation or apology. 

Sagittarius

The Sun and Mercury in your hidden sector can reveal some important background insights, but much of this may take place on a subconscious or dream level. Nonetheless, pay attention to gut feelings, hints or suspicions, especially where career and home life are involved. Something you overhear can give you an important clue about your next step or future plans. 

Aspects to Venus in your sign add charm and sparkle to your public image and physical appearance. Excellent for getting out and showing off, or upgrading your look. This is all about expressing your individuality. Moments of vulnerability will be connected to issues from the past/childhood, or a family situation. Don’t allow old patterns to undermine your new confidence. 

Capricorn

The Sun and Mercury in your social sector help you forge a deeper connection with friends or groups. Empathy and understanding can flow both ways, and public events are likely to be nostalgic. Excellent if you want your words or work to resonate with others. Too, you’ll find it easy to connect with a variety of people.

Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector can encourage the development of background changes or a private dream/attraction. You may feel a gentle pull to move in an unusual direction, or aim for something that only you understand. For now, it may be best if you keep this to yourself -going public can lead to misunderstandings or increased vulnerabilities, especially if don’t feel fully confident yet. 

Aquarius

The Sun and Mercury in your career sector can encourage supportive discussions with management, or developments that are more in line with your newly emerging financial and emotional needs. A gentler approach to work and future goals may be necessary – something that makes you feel secure, rather than drained. Discussions and information can open the door to an approach that goes beyond the scramble for survival. 

Aspects to Venus in your social sector can introduce you to someone new and exciting. Whether the potential is romantic or platonic, it’s sure to catch your interest. Too, an existing friendship or group activity can take an inspiring turn. However, watch for moments of insecurity or jealousy – these can undermine an otherwise happy moment.  Rather than questioning if you’re good enough or ready for this, why not simply take it as it comes? 

Pisces

The Sun and Mercury in your sector of opportunities, trining Neptune Rx and the South Node in your sign, give you a clear path to develop your dreams or ideals. Travel, exploration, education, legal matters or publishing are possible areas to investigate ordiscuss. Looking further and considering new options can open the door to beneficial connections with others. 

Aspects to Venus in your career sector can urge you to branch out professionally, pursue a new job offer or explore a new career path.  An unusual approach, or slightly risky twist to your professional image, seems tempting. And there is room to impress others. But the square to Chiron Rx in your sign cautions you to pay attention to a key area where you might undermine yourself. You may be underprepared, or are not considering an important issue. Before you take the leap, make sure you’re aware of your vulnerabilities. Mercury’s trine to Chiron in your sign can help you step back from the awkward issue so you can gain more insight.

Overview 

Mercury enters Scorpio on October 24th, and makes a superior conjunction to the Sun on October 27th. This will illuminate Scorpio-flavoured information, which usually involves something hidden, intimate or uncomfortably true. This aspect is a culmination in the Mercury/Sun cycle. The last conjunction, which took place on September 12th, 2016  in Virgo (when Mercury was Rx) was a beginning. 

This unavoidable understanding of Sun/Mercury will inform the Scorpio New Moon, on October 30th. This fresh chapter will unfold quietly, as internal illumination guides events in a new direction. This New Moon is about what you know in your gut, even if no one else gets it (yet). 

On October 25th, Venus in Sagittarius squares Neptune Rx in Pisces, expanding relationship and financial expectations beyond the bounds of reality. The potential for disappointment is increased as the yearning for something/someone better takes hold. But Venus also makes a sextile to Jupiter in Libra, exact on October 26th. The mutual reception between Venus/Jupiter, and the harmony of the sextile, suggest there’s something to work with. Once you get past the fantasy or urge to let everything go, you’ll find real potential for future growth. The Venus/Saturn conjunction (October 29th) will follow with a confirmation, restriction or ending. This dose of reality will deliver results based on your previous focus and intentions. 

October 29th also brings a sharp square between Uranus Rx in Aries and Mars in Capricorn. The hard left turn or outburst can shock you. Capricorn rules and plans will be shaken, and Mars’ initiative can shift or snap. Accidents are a possibility, or violence. So are actions that you later regret. Therefore, your best bet is to move carefully and think twice before you react. At the same time, know that clinging to something that’s being forcefully wrenched away will only make things more difficult. This this is not the time to restrict someone’s actions, or deny the fact that change has come. 

Aries

Aspects to Venus in your opportunities sector can increase your longing for something that transcends the usual. Romance, adventure, travel, exploration, legal matters or education can be key areas. But before you take that leap, look very carefully at what might be obscured. Secrets, unacknowledged fantasies or lies of omission can be troublesome. Nonetheless, there is potential for a positive exchange with another, that could lead to more. Venus/Saturn will deliver a reality check in the form of an official rule, law or restriction on expansion. While this aspect may limit your freedom, it can also enhance your focus on a distant goal. 

The Sun and Mercury, in your sector of shared resources, can spotlight what’s been hidden or denied. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy can be sources of uncomfortable but illuminating information. What you unearth will be involved with the New Moon’s beginnings, even if this new chapter is something only you are aware of. 

Mars square Uranus Rx in your sign suggests you may challenge authority, or have to react quickly as established rules/goals are shaken (especially in career matters). 

Taurus

Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources can present multiple reasons to spend or share more. And some of those reasons may be perfectly valid. But overspending, or ignoring personal boundaries, is a risk. Carefully prioritize what can help you, or benefit someone else. A careful approach to debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy can boost your health, happiness and daily routine. And when you encounter the Venus/Saturn conjunction, you’ll be prepared to pay the bill, acknowledge the boundary, or confront personal limits. 

The Sun and Mercury in your relationship sector can spotlight a key partnership issue around commitment, truth or secrets. What you discuss/uncover will inform the New Moon, as you and an existing partner move towards a deeper level of honesty. For some, an intimate conversation can launch a relationship with someone new. 

Mars/Uranus can trigger surprising events involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Actions/reactions will be based on what you can’t see or haven’t anticipated – use extra caution when travelling, as this can be an accident-prone influence. 

Gemini

Aspects to Venus in your partnership sector will greatly enhance the romance, indulgence and mixed signals in relationships. Developments may seem too good to be true, and while you’ll have to make sure your ideals line up with what the other person can offer, there is potential for real growth. A new attraction is not a complete fantasy, and joint goals in an existing relationship can benefit you both. Venus/Saturn will keep you on track (and clarify exactly what the other person wants) with a commitment or line that can’t be crossed. 

The Sun and Mercury in your sector of routine will spotlight a work or health issue that must be attended to. A deeper reality involving a co-worker, work tasks, or diet/exercise/medical issues will come to light, and will lead to the New Moon’s fresh start. Whether you’re starting a new job, new routine or new health regime, know that you have all the information to do it right. 

Mars/Uranus can deliver a jolt in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. A sudden expense, surge of temper or passion can leave you feeling out of control. You won’t have control over everything, but you can be consciously aware of your next action, rather than overreacting.

Cancer 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine can bring moments of indulgence, forgetfulness and the urge to slack off. Diets can go out the window, and organization can suffer. However, you can also experience a general sense of ease and contentment in domestic issues and your daily routine. The key is to relax and enjoy the things that are working well, without forgetting about your obligations. Venus/Saturn will confront you with those obligations, and your focus will snap back to the basic necessities. Venus/Saturn can also confirm a result, depending on the effort you’ve put into work or health. 

The Sun and Mercury in your sector of self-expression can hi-light information about what you really want, or trigger a moment of creative/romantic inspiration. The New Moon will build on this, possibly introducing a new romance, passionate conversation or hoped-for news. 

Mars/Uranus can trigger some relationship surprises, in the form of sudden arguments, disruptive actions or unexpected competition. While the challenge/surprise may come from someone else, you decide how you react.  

Leo

Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression can enhance your urge to take a romantic or creative risk. Celebration can easily slide into overindulgence. There’s potential for creative inspiration, fun introductions or positive promotions for what have to offer. You’ll sound good, no doubt. But be wary of promising what you can’t deliver, or reading too much into what someone else says. Venus/Saturn can confirm what you’ve been hoping for, or clarify that there’s more work to be done.

The Sun and Mercury in your domestic sector can trigger a significant conversation with family, or it can illuminate buried issues from the past. Too, issues around relocation, renovations or home business can be clarified. This will lead into the New Moon, as a new domestic chapter begins, fuelled by your deeper understandings. 

Mars/Uranus can disrupt your routine, throw extra work at you, or trigger some surprising medical issues. Stress reactions or accidents are a possibility, so take extra care and allow yourself some breathing room . 

Virgo

Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector can lead to some confusion/disappointments in a domestic partnership or family issue. Inflated expectations may be the culprit, but if you dial it back on the big dreams you’ll find that domestic growth is moving in the right direction. Love, security and general contentment can flourish. Home improvements, or the growth of a home business, are also possibilities. Venus/Saturn can define domestic roles, a home purchase or family commitment. Too, you could reach the finish line regarding a family commitment. 

The Sun and Mercury in your communication sector can illuminate a truth or deliver an intensive conversation. This will lead to the New Moon’s gift of deeper insight. Whether it’s a romantic relationship, a sibling or career issue, you’ll feel in control of your favourite thing – information. Now you’ll really understand what’s going on, or you’ll know the best way to deliver your message. 

Mars/Uranus can stir up some restlessness regarding creative work, romance or children/pregnancy. Watch for a sudden impulse to make it happen, especially if this is a personal goal you’ve been working towards for awhile. Too, the unexpected could hit you in one of these areas. You may be tempted to take a risk or push things further.

Libra

Aspects to Venus in your communication sector can deliver dreamy promises, flirtatious remarks or inflated hopes. The words may be beautiful, but watch for mixed messages and don’t count on everything that’s said. However, Venus’ sextile to Jupiter in your sign insists that there is potential, within reason. A new contact or job opportunity can benefit you, once you get past the smoke and mirrors. Venus/Saturn will ground you with a firm commitment or definite focus. The answer or outcome may not be everything you’d hoped for, but there’s still something to work with. Watch for an official contract or solid piece of information. 

The Sun and Mercury in your sector of personal resources can deliver important information/realizations about earned money or personal values. A discussion or urge to dig deeper and research can clarify what will deliver the most value. This will feed into the New Moon, which can see you changing the way you work, earn or handle your relationships. Nothing dramatic, just a gradual shift in habits that can increase your sense of security. 

Mars/Uranus indicates possible disruption in a relationship or your home life. Watch for minor breakdowns around the home, or unexpected repairs. Too, a partnership could move in a surprising direction, due to an argument or sudden break for freedom.

Scorpio

Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources can increase your urge to spend, pamper yourself or dive into a romantic attraction. It will be easy to lose yourself. After the initial rush, tune into a background potential or hope that is for real – it may be something completely different, and quieter. Venus/Saturn will deliver results and/or restrictions, on spending and emotional issues. If you’ve wandered down a wrong path or forgot about the need for increased discipline, you’ll be reminded. Too, Venus/Saturn can deliver an emotional or financial opportunity that’s the result of your hard work and focus.  

The Sun/Mercury and New Moon in your sign are excellent for starting something that rewards quiet concentration and deep honesty. This new chapter may not be flashy, but it will be real. You should feel a calm sense of clarity, as you understand exactly what you have to do. The outcome may not be visible just yet, but if you trust your gut on this one you’ll move in the right direction. 

Mars/Uranus can trigger angry, challenging or disruptive discussions. Verbal attacks may come out of nowhere, or new information could be dropped into your lap. Your temper may be short and diplomacy will be a challenge. Use caution with work communications. 

Sagittarius

Aspects to Venus in your sign are enhancing your social appeal, ability to connect with others, and your desire to overdo it (or conversely) give up. Before you dive in or decide that it’s not working, know that a moderate, grounded approach will produce something real. Others are paying attention. Venus/Saturn in your sign will deliver the confirmation, define your authority, or clarify what you have to let go of (so you can focus on what has real potential). Public image, relationships and physical appearance may be impacted. 

The Sun/Mercury in your hidden sector can enhance your intuition, dreams and instincts. Pay attention to what you suspect, because the New Moon will gently nudge you along a certain path. The path will not be clear, but you can feel your way along if you trust a new understanding that’s unfolding. 

Mars/Uranus can trigger unexpected expenses or a sudden change in your income pattern. You may have no choice but to react, especially if you feel your security is threatened. Then again, you may feel the urge to take a financial or emotional risk. Make sure you have something in reserve if it doesn’t work out. 

Capricorn

Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector can expand a dream, fantasy or addiction. It will be easy to veer off in the wrong direction, or build something up that has no basis in reality. However, at the core of the dream is potential for real growth – the restless urge to expand beyond what you have is a clue that there’s more out there to pursue. Maybe a new career goal, or job opportunity. Venus/Saturn will help you decide if you want to dedicate more energy to this, or let it go. 

The Sun/Mercury in your social sector can hi-light a friendship, group association or your relationship with the public. A conversation, introduction or realization can take things deeper than expected, and the New Moon will open a door to something that can gradually expand. Especially positive if you are trying to reach an audience, meet new people or promote your work. 

Mars in your sign square Uranus can see you impatiently jumping into something, or cutting the cord. You may have reached the end of your tolerance, or you could react abruptly to someone else’s challenge. There’s no doubt you’ll be motivated, but use caution before you burn any bridges. With this influence, there’s no going back. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Venus in your social sector can cause some temporary confusion with a friendship or group association. The lines between romantic and platonic may be blurred, or boundaries/goals in a group may be unclear. Too, you could question a social cause – is it really for you, are you making a difference? Financial considerations could be an issue. There is something worth sticking with here – your faith is not misplaced. Venus/Saturn can clarify the intentions of others, or your next move. Even if the results are not everything you’d hoped for, these interactions will have opened a new door that won’t be closed. Keep moving forward. 

The Sun and Mercury in your career sector spotlight a goal, conversation with management or issue with your professional image. The information you receive will be invaluable, and will inform the New Moon’s new chapter. Watch for hints about a new job, change in professional direction, or more insight into how you can maximize your financial growth.

Mars/Uranus can bring bizarre actions/reactions that come out of nowhere. A challenge, outburst of anger or left turn can catch you off guard. You may surprise everyone (including yourself) with your next move. Issues may involve news, emails, conversations or developments with siblings. 

Pisces

Aspects to Venus in your career sector (including the square from Neptune Rx in your sign) can briefly undermine your faith in a career path or job search. You may feel like giving up. Conversely, you could latch on to an opportunity that has more style than substance. Use caution with professional relationships, as blurry boundaries can negatively impact your professional image. Whether you’re feeling disillusioned or confused, know that there is an opportunity here you can build on. Venus/Saturn insists that focus in the correct direction, and a sober, careful approach to professional relationships, will deliver results. If Venus/Saturn delivers a hard reality check, learn from it and move on.  

The Sun and Mercury in your opportunities sector can reveal your next step forward, via an emerging ideal or new course of knowledge. The New Moon will build on this, and the trine to Neptune Rx in your sign suggests there’s ample room for growth (plus a chance to expand on your dream). Areas of possibility may include travel, exploration, education, legal matters or publishing. 

Mars/Uranus suggests surprising social actions (involving friends, groups or your public image) can impact your stability. Others may push you in a direction you’re not comfortable with, or you could take a risk that may or may not pay off. Before you act, consider the consequences, which will be very public.

Overview

Venus enters Sagittarius on October 18th, applying the Sag themes of growth, optimism and adventure to relationship, financial and self-esteem issues. This is a next-step influence, with new possibilities on the horizon. This transit is given extra sparkle due to Venus’ mutual reception with Jupiter (ruler of Sag) in Libra (ruled by Venus). Relationship growth is a biggie, and not just romantic relationships. All mutual exchanges can benefit. 

October 19th sees the conjunction of Mars and Pluto in Capricorn. External action meets internal transformation, for a truly powerful union. What manifests will be a direct result of your conscious actions. The last conjunction between Mars/Pluto occurred on November 10th, 2014. The next conjunction will happen on April 26th, 2018. Each conjunction brings results of what began (roughly) two years before. You may start a new chapter that builds on your efforts from the past, two years. Or, you may experience a demolition, and have to start fresh. The opposition between Mercury in Libra and Uranus Rx (on October 20th) follows with a shock of information/understanding. The surprise can motivate, liberate or upset you. 

October 22nd sees the Sun’s ingress into Scorpio. The season of deeper waters and undeniable truths will help everyone process the upheaval from the 19th and 20th. Scorpio season urges us to look inwards and (if necessary) withdraw in order to heal, understand, regenerate. 

Aries

Venus into your sector of opportunities can attract, in the areas of long-distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing. The key will be your desire to consider new possibilities. Growth in partnerships will be hi-lighted. 

Mars/Pluto in your career sector draws your attention to ambition or ruthlessness. A line will be crossed regarding your dealings with authority, or your expression of authority. The turning point will conclude one career chapter and propel you into a new one. The true power dynamics of a situation will be revealed – your self-aware actions could harness this energy, or you could be overwhelmed by it. Meanwhile, Mercury opposing Uranus in your sign can trigger a clarifying conversation/realization in a business or romantic partnership. The balance between you and another could shift in a surprising direction. Too, there could be a sudden reversal as someone does the complete opposite of what was previously discussed. 

The Sun into your sector of shared resources will activate issues around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. It will be your choice to examine or ignore the deeper truths behind these issues. Some of what’s hidden may be uncomfortable, but this could also be about getting closer to someone. 

Taurus

Venus into your sector of shared resources can increase physical/emotional intimacy, or put a positive spin on debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances. The urge to acquire more, share more or get closer can sweeten an existing situation, but watch that expectations/spending don’t exceed reality. Adjusting the balance around how you give, or ho much you want to share, may be an issue. 

Mars/Pluto in your sector of opportunities suggests wrapping something up in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters, publishing or exploration. At the same time, a new door to the future will open. Initiative or anger can fire up an ideal, belief or adventure, but use extra caution if you’re travelling or dealing with legal issues. Unchecked Mars/Pluto can be destructive. Mercury/Uranus presents a sharp discovery/conversation about work, co-workers, or health. Issues may conclude abruptly as you get your answer or solution. 

The Sun into your relationship sector turns the spotlight on partnership issues (romantic or business). Attached or single, your awareness of the exchange between you and another will increase. Themes will include authenticity, possessiveness and the reality that lies beneath the surface of the one-on-one dance. 

Gemini

Venus into your relationship sector sweetens an existing partnership. Too, someone new and intriguing could catch your eye. In general, you’ll feel ready to expand your concept of what partnershipshave to offer. You may be more in the mood for a playmate than a serious commitment, but this attitude can freshen up an existing relationship that’s grown a bit stale. 

Mars/Pluto in your sector of shared resources indicates a turning point around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. A positive situation can intensify, when passion and commitment uncover new strengths. Good for investing, financially or emotionally. Then again, if you’ve mishandled your resources or are not happy with a relationship, this can be a finish line/time to pay.  Mercury/Uranus indicates that the deeper Mars/Pluto eruption may trigger a public announcement or revelation. You could be ready to take a risk and say what you really feel, or your words could be in the spotlight. 

The Sun into your sector of routine emphasizes work, health and daily obligations. The reality beneath your routine will be an issue – going through the motions versus a commitment to authentic, empowering habits. 

Cancer 

Venus into your sector of routine can make things a bit easier for you in the areas of health, exercise, work or daily obligations. Others may help you, or be more receptive to your assistance. Too, you could feel an increased sense of optimism around a diet, exercise or medical issue.

Mars/Pluto in your relationship sector insist that it’s up to you, even if a partner seems to be making all the demands. Your actions will be key to moving a partnership further/deeper, or ending something. Use focus and discipline to deal with any power plays or anger.

A sudden decision may change the course of your future, and your family’s future. Overall, this energy is uncompromising, which is why you need to adopt a tough, boundaries-are-set attitude. 

The Sun in your sector of self-expression hi-lights what you want to create. Whether it’s a new life (children), artistic work, more romance or overall pleasure, this time of the year asks you to consider what might happen if you intensified your efforts/observations in these areas.

The structure of your daily life can reach a point of completion due to your hard work, or it may be time to tear it down and start over. The quality of your work, on yourself or for others, will be crucial. In some cases, a power struggle with a co-worker may come to a head. Mercury/Uranus follows with a snap decision, surprising conversation or rush of clarity. The light may be harsh, but the truth will be liberating. You may decide to jump into something brand new, or sever ties. 

The Sun into your domestic sector spotlights home and family. Domestic issues are always rooted in the past. You don’t have to go digging, but an awareness of what’s really going on can help you make strategic decisions, and consciously respond rather than running on automatic pilot.   

Virgo

Venus into your domestic sector encourages home improvements, home expansion and a desire for positive family relationships. This influence won’t erase all domestic difficulties, but your expectations and perspective will broaden, which can help you rise above some tensions. Your urge for more security, harmony and happiness will increase, and that’s the first step towards making it happen. On a different note, watch for an increase in purchases – some may be necessary, and some may be indulgences. 

Mars/Pluto in your sector of self-expression keeps the momentum going, regarding personal desires. Romance, celebration, creativity, or issues involving children/pregnancy can become areas of increased intensity and ambition: there’s something that you really want, and you may achieve it, or turn a corner and refocus your efforts. On the surface it may appear to be a “nice to have” but it means much more than that. Mercury/Uranus can push you to make a sudden decision regarding money or emotional security. What’s essential will become clear, even if it’s unexpected. 

The Sun into your communication sector can increase the flow of emails, phone calls, discussions and brief meetings. This can be a busy time, with an emphasis on the authenticity of information that’s being exchanged. 

Libra

Venus into your communication sector can sweeten exchanges with others. Contacts will be friendly, hopeful or flirtatious, and the mutual reception with Jupiter in your sign suggests that the time is right to reach out and contact those who can benefit you. Even if you don’t have a specific goal in mind, you never know who might cross your path. 

Mars/Pluto in your domestic sector draws a line between the past and the present. You may see the results of a major domestic change, or it may be time to launch an overhaul of your home and family life. Too, conflicts with family can reach a peak. Mercury in your sign, opposing Uranus, can trigger your no-turning-back moment. A snap decision, relationship change, or clarifying conversation will leave no doubt as to where you’re going next. 

The Sun into your sector of personal resources shines a light on earned money, values and self-esteem. Who and what appears to have increasing value in your life will becomeimportant. Can you continue and go deeper with the relationship/job/habit, or is it time to amputate? 

Scorpio

Venus into your sector of personal resources can draw your attention to new sources of income, new goodies to buy, or more time where you feel loved and appreciated. Indulgences, spending and earning may appear straightforward on the surface, but a prominent theme/habit is actually connected to a background hope or potential that’s quietly growing. Consider if you’re feeding an ideal, dream or addiction. 

Mars/Pluto in your communication sector can indicate the results of a concerted push for information, an ongoing discussion/argument, or your attempts to make yourself heard. A difficult truth can come out, or you may find yourself pushing relentlessly to win an argument. The next chapter could involve a new ambition/plan, fuelled by your determination. Issues with siblings can reveal some heavy truths. Mercury/Uranus continues the truth-telling, with a flash of insight or disruptive revelation. Secrets or facts that were overlooked may be key.

The Sun into your sign says it’s your season. Overall, this solar energy means you have some increased power at your disposal – other transits hitting your chart can support or undermine this. As your birthday approaches over the next month, use this opportunity to take stock of the past year, and the one coming up. No matter what else is happening in the sky, your priority will always be absolute authenticity, within yourself and in how you relate to others. This is your source of strength. 

Sagittarius

Venus into your sign ups your charm, optimism and magnetism. You may not win the lottery, but you can certainly attract positive financial and relationship situations, just by being yourself. Social expansion, and connecting with the right people at the right time, is emphasized. You won’t have to think about this – just step out and follow whatever path looks interesting. 

Mars/Pluto in your sector of personal resources brings the results of financial and emotional developments over the past two years. The effort you’ve put into saving, reconstructing your relationship to money, and creating solid support systems, can bear fruit. Too, if you’ve been ignoring the unmistakable signs that you need to change your financial habits and personal values, you’ll reach a point where the undermining of your security must be stopped. That may mean a relationship or job ending, or confrontation about money. Either way, the next chapter will involve your energy and ambitions, focused on building up your resources. New sources of income and self-esteem are available, but you have to take action. Mercury/Uranus can trigger a surprising meeting, discussion with friends, or abrupt change in public image. 

The Sun into your hidden sector can nudge some background issues, dreams or hidden yearnings. It can be easy to overlook these quiet whispers – tuning into them will take more effort, but you could uncover something valuable. 

Capricorn

Venus into your hidden sector can see you pulling back a bit, regarding strategic social or career relationships. Some may be put on hold, others may be up for your deeper consideration. Right now you are in a growth phase – accelerating towards the future. Some will support you, but others won’t be aligned with this new future you’re creating. The Sun into your social sector emphasizes this trend. It’s a general influence, but if you pay attention, you’ll notice a pull to observe others and note whether or not they show up for you when you need them. 

Mars/Pluto in your sign can deliver the results of a two-year ambition or project (personal or career). These results can show you that you’re on the right track, or that you need to scrap it and start over. This aspect puts your motivation and (in some cases) anger at an all time high. You may be challenged, or you may do the challenging. You’ve got some serious firepower at your disposal, so act cautiously. If these energies are mishandled, destructive anger can be directed at you. 

Mercury/Uranus can dish up some surprises involving home or work. A sudden announcement or change of plans can alter your future course

Aquarius

Broadening your social circle, or interacting with people who open your eyes to new truths are possibilities. 

Mars/Pluto in your hidden sector may be felt as a background push to manifest a dream. If you’ve been actively trying to make something real, this aspect could deliver results. Or, it may be time to step away from something that is no longer valid and actively set about creating a new framework. Mercury/Uranus can add to the momentum with a sudden announcement/change of plans, in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. 

The Sun into your career sector hi-lights your future goals, and the authenticity of your current work. Pay attention to that deeper feeling of truth (you feel validated by your work) or the sense that your energy is being drained. 

Pisces

Venus into your career sector can be very good for your relationships with management, your professional image, job search or professional relationships in general. You can attract positive attention, but know that this is also about deeper potentials unfolding. One relationship in particular could bring more to the table. Professional contacts may seem light and fun, but you can receive significant wisdom, assistance and support if you’re open to this.  

Mars/Pluto in your social sector marks a result or ending involving a friendship, group activity or your public image. Results will be based on the need for evolution in your social life, and how responsive you’ve been to this. In some cases, a simmering conflict with someone, or with a group, could finally emerge. The next phase is about your public actions, designed to build new connections between you and the collective. Mercury/Uranus can churn up some unexpected information, or an abrupt change of heart,  involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy.

Overview

October 11th brings a hopeful conjunction between Mercury and Jupiter in Libra. Ideas about ethics, fairness or relationship possibilities will grow. New social contacts, contracts and potentials for compromise will be floating around, but the October 13th square between Mercury and Mars in Capricorn follows with some disagreements. October 14th brings a calming sextile between Mercury and Saturn in Sagittarius, but then we see a darkly edged square between Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn on October 15th. 

The blend of energies involving Mercury suggest dynamic, fast-moving conversations. Optimism can quickly shift to anger, and the urge to say the right thing can change to defensiveness. But tension also means opportunity. If you handle these shifting energies calmly, you can make your point, learn something essential or win an argument. This could be your grace-under-pressure moment, as you balance your responses to the mood of the moment. You’re always in control of what you say or decide. Or, you could bolt to either end of the Libra spectrum: outright hostility or complete passivity. 

All this builds to the October 15th/16th Aries Full Moon, conjoining Uranus. The flash of clarity will be harsh for some, liberating for others. The Mercury/Pluto square will directly inform this Moon, as the subconscious is illuminated and the unspoken truth is revealed.   

Aries

Aspects to Mercury in your relationship sector bring passionate discussions and arguments with another person. Business or romantic relationships will give you lots to talk about, and some of that will be edged with tension. Mercury/Jupiter can present new relationship possibilities (or introduce you to someone new) while the squares to Mars and Pluto will trigger competition or disagreements about authority. Saturn quietly confirms a larger perspective and acknowledgement of what’s ethical/legal. 

The Full Moon in your sign conjoins Uranus Rx, triggering an inevitable but surprising conclusion. You sensed this was coming, but it can still hit harder and faster than expected. Whether there’s an exit or hot turning point that plunges you into something new, your need for freedom will be paramount.  

Taurus

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine can make for some lively discussions with co-workers, or bring a rush of new tasks/information that keep you scrambling. Mercury/Jupiter can present an optimistic solution. The squares to Mars and Pluto will challenge your ability to multitask, do your job, or attend to obligations. Extra demands on your time can involve health issues. Saturn adds background reassurance in the form of financial or emotional clarity. Even as daily routines are whipped into dust devils of activity, you can anchor yourself if you’ve taken care of some less obvious essentials. 

The Full Moon in your hidden sector can trigger something in your blindspot. You may have been so busy with things in that corner that you didn’t see this coming. A revelation, unexpected reaction or “Aha” moment will clarify – this could be the piece of the puzzle that you didn’t know was missing. Too, an ending or abrupt exit could be featured. 

Gemini

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression can be exciting, encouraging and a bit risky. Mercury/Jupiter urge you to put yourself out there, romantically or creatively. But the squares to Mars and Pluto suggest an innocent comment can uncover much more. Tension (sexual or otherwise) will be based on fears of losing control versus desires to win/conquer. Saturn can keep you balanced with an existing relationship – there’s support or confirmation from someone, so don’t question what you already know to be true. 

The Full Moon in your social sector suggests a surprising public display, or abrupt reactions from friends/groups. This can be your moment to take a stand or grab the spotlight, but the public vibe will be volatile. 

Cancer

Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector can fire up some emotional family discussions. Mercury/Jupiter suggests new plans for expansion, or future possibilities (relocation, home improvements, travel). Family get-togethers may be featured. The squares to Mars and Pluto indicate arguments in a domestic relationship. Disagreements may appear to be about one thing (on the surface) but will actually reveal much more, if you’re paying attention. Saturn suggests that, despite any tension, day to day activities and responsibilities can proceed smoothly.

The Full Moon in your career sector can catch you off guard with a career matter (job ending or unexpected opportunity). A sudden change in future goals, or abrupt results involving authority/rebellion against authority, may be issues. 

Leo

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector can get the conversation started, or gift you with a brilliant idea. Mercury/Jupiter give you the ability to sell, promote or convince, while opening your eyes to new alternatives. The squares to Mars and Pluto suggest external challenges to your words, or anger/power struggles that fuel your passion to get your point across. Work or health matters can be triggers. Too, you may be introduced to some challenging new people who are catalysts for bigger changes. Saturn points to set plans or information involving a new romance, creative work or issues involving children/pregnancy. There’s something you can count on here. 

The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities can open things up in the areas of education, long distance travel, legal matters or publishing. The unexpected may be just what you need, even if it consists of an ending or change of plans. Freedom to step into the unknown, even if you’re not ready for it, will be a theme. 

Virgo

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources can boost your confidence, your spending and your desire to have more. Mercury/Jupiter suggest new sources of income, or the confidence to raise your prices/demand more from a relationship. You’re worth it. The squares to Mars and Pluto can add an edge to your expectations, and you may be pushed to defend yourself. You won’t be backing down, especially if you sense that someone is not appreciating what you have. Saturn urges you to look to what you’ve already accomplished/built. 

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources can rip the curtain back on a financial or intimacy matter. Debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances may reach a turning point – it could be time to pay it off or confront the issue. Physical/emotional intimacy can suddenly begin, end or deepen. Overall, this Moon will be about shaking loose security habits that have kept you stuck. Too, you may feel the unavoidable urge to shake things up yourself. 

Libra

Aspects to Mercury in your sign can motivate and disrupt you. Mercury/Jupiter brings the big idea, the brilliant new contact or surge of optimism, but squares to Mars and Pluto suggest challenges on the domestic front can leave you feeling a bit rattled. Too, a relocation, home repairs or family discussions can put you under siege. Saturn suggests reaching for as much calm as you can – there should be some plans or assurances that you can nail down. An official document or discussion may be the one thing that remains steady. 

The Full Moon in your relationship sector can abruptly accelerate a partnership. A ending, new beginning or final point of tension will be out of your hands, as someone else makes the call. Mercury/Pluto will trigger the uncomfortable discussion, or force you to look at the issue you’d rather avoid. The energies can be a mix of revealing and exciting. Whatever happens, rest assured there will be no ambiguity – your appropriate response will be clear. 

Scorpio

Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector can stir up background issues, but the time will not yet be ripe for going public. Mercury/Jupiter suggest a growing potential or hope, while the squares to Mars and Pluto indicate external arguments or anger will be based on secrets, unconscious motivations or something you’re not privy to. You don’t have all the information yet. A discussion, document, new contact or issue with siblings can be especially contentious. Saturn urges you to stick to an ongoing plan of self-sufficiency and focus – there may be some minor good news with finances. 

The Full Moon in your sector of routine can hit you suddenly with work or health results. This culmination will be dependent on past changes (or avoidance of change) involving diet, exercise, medical issues or work tasks. But the outcome may still catch you by surprise, as events accelerate more quickly than anticipated. Results are likely to be less disruptive if you’ve paid attention to the need for change. 

Sagittarius

Aspects to Mercury in your social sector keep you busy with others, and social interactions will be a mixed bag. Mercury/Jupiter suggests a meeting with someone who can help you, or a fascinating new contact. Too, good times with friends may be featured. But the squares to Mars and Pluto can throw in some disagreements or buried hostilities. Public events and group activities can keep you on your toes, with a blend of opportunity and action. The sextile to Saturn in your sign insists that you can build on whatever happens, no matter how disruptive – watch for indications of future developments. Use your authority and focus to keep it together.

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression can push you to take a risk, open up or reach for something/someone you want. You may get caught up in the moment, and it will be easy to push things too far. Use a bit of caution.  A new romance, creative/artistic work, public event or celebration may be involved. Issues with children can also catch you by surprise. 

Capricorn

Aspects to Mercury in your career sector can set you up for success, but also a few challenges. Mercury/Jupiter suggests a career opportunity, encouraging discussion with management or positive public announcement. The squares to Mars and Pluto in your sign indicate that you’ll also feel the need to push this situation to the limit. Whether you’re exercising your power, feeling competitive or challenged, know that a little force goes a long way. Saturn adds background stability with the knowledge that certain things have already fallen into place – you don’t need to force it. 

The Full Moon in your domestic sector can bring an exciting conclusion to a family or relationship issue. A move, changes at home or next chapter in a relationship can hit suddenly. Or, you may feel some urgency as you push things along. Breaking from the past can be a powerful motivator. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities can open up something new in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Mercury/Jupiter urge you to explore and consider the unusual as new developments catch your attention. The squares to Mars and Pluto can trigger arguments, challenges or the urge to plow forward, but the root cause will be in the background. There’s a chance to capitalize on something beneficial here, but stay aware of hidden motivations or subconscious anger. Saturn indicates that you have social support or encouragement. Too, Saturn can help you gradually solidify a public cause or ideal. 

The Full Moon in your communication sector suggests a snap decision, surprise conversation/announcement or revelation. Issues with siblings can hit unexpectedly. Although this has been building for a while, the results may change your mind or shock you. A random contact may thrust you into a brand new chapter.    

Pisces

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources can trigger some deeply sensitive, but ultimately productive, conversations and information in the areas of finance or intimacy. Mercury/Jupiter can bring news of a major expense/investment involving debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances. Discussions about physical and emotional intimacy can hold some exciting possibilities. But the squares to Mars and Pluto can push the conversation into deeper waters, and more may be revealed that you had anticipated. However, the deeper you go the more you’ll learn. Saturn hints that some of what’s revealed will hold the seeds for future plans. 

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources can trigger a break for freedom, or a break that rattles your security. Finances can be unpredictable, and impulse spending can snowball. Relationships can be extremely touchy – keep your expectations light and try to avoid knee-jerk reactions.

Overview

October 5th features an enthusiastic square between Mars in Capricorn and Jupiter in Libra. Ambition and focused passion will be expanded by Jupiter’s optimism and opportunities. This is a bold, powerful energy that encourages success. But it’s lacking sensitivity.

 On October 7th, Mercury enters Libra, adding more information, new social contacts, and balanced discussions to the mix. However, this day also features a square between Pluto in Capricorn and the Libra Sun, which is decidedly unbalanced. The initial social discussion or contact (courtesy of Mercury) may be quite challenging, as compulsive power plays, jealousy and domination keep things interesting. Combined with Mars/Jupiter, October 5th to 7th will be a lively time. There’s potential to accomplish much, but you’ll have to stay sharp and walk the fine line between compromise and sacrifice, ambition and ruthlessness. 

On October 8th, Saturn in Sagittarius squares the South Node in Pisces and North Node in Virgo. A square to the Nodes is a pressing issue that must be resolved, because it’s blocking the path forward (North Node). Rules and focus will be pivotal issues. The task will be different for everyone, depending on their charts. But in general, the theme is focusing on the correct area by choosing to release what’s been undermining you, and develop what has real potential. A block or delay is a clear sign that you need to pay attention to a Saturn issue. Are you acknowledging your responsibilities? Are you doing the necessary work? Are you confronting the truth? Saturn in Sagittarius is about learning and then manifesting those lessons in a productive way. 

Aries

Mars and Pluto in your career sector square Jupiter and the Sun in your relationship sector. Mars/Jupiter pump up the excitement, passion and/or competition in a partnership, while Sun/Pluto can reveal a more ruthless energy. Developments in your career/professional image/business partnership can be positive, as you push to make things happen. But be aware of power struggles. Fortunately, Mercury into your relationship sector increases your ability to compromise.

Saturn in your sector of opportunities squares the Nodes, suggesting that travel, education, legal or publishing rules/limits will be key. You’ll be urged to get specific, get real or make it work in your daily environment. Too, small details may have to be viewed in a larger context. Health may be a concern. 

Taurus

Mars and Pluto in your sector of opportunities square Jupiter and the Sun in your sector of routine. Mars/Jupiter can be motivating and energizing, but can also increase your workload (or the expectations placed on you). Sun/Pluto suggests tensions with co-workers, or struggles dealing with an unbalanced workload, while Mercury into your sector of routine indicates an exchange of information, or discussions about what needs to be done. A discussion can trigger your awareness of an imbalance, but can also hold the solution. 

Saturn in your sector of shared resources squares the Nodes, urging you to focus on a financial or intimacy issue. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or personal boundaries must be addressed if you want to develop something that’s important to you. A new romance, creative/artistic project or issue involving children/pregnancy might not move forward until you deal with some uncomfortable truths. 

Gemini

Mars and Pluto in your sector of shared resources square Jupiter and the Sun in your sector of self-expression. Mars/Jupiter can increase your passion, urge to play, celebrate, spend or indulge. Sun/Pluto can trigger deeper issues involving overcompensation, or fears of losing what you want. Mercury into your sector of self-expression can introduce a surface conversation/flirtation that triggers deeper compulsions. 

Saturn in your partnership sector squares the Nodes, bringing a personal or professional relationship to a turning point. Decisions involving career/family or work/personal life will be featured. Now is the time to decide if your future goals/commitments match theirs.   

Cancer

Mars and Pluto in your partnership sector square Jupiter and the Sun in your domestic sector. Progress in a domestic partnership can be significant, as relocation, plans for the future, or domestic expansion take a leap forward. Part of the progress may involve an argument that pushes one or both people off the fence. Mercury into your domestic sector can open up family/partnership discussions, but Sun/Pluto can stir up fear of change mixed with the increasing awareness of an imbalance between partners. Don’t avoid uncomfortable discussions – the time is ripe to address them. 

Saturn in your sector of routine squares the Nodes, bringing a health or work issue into the spotlight. An obligation to yourself or someone else needs to be identified, quantified and discussed. This could involve a medical test/diagnosis, signed document or work discussion.  

Leo

Mars and Pluto in your sector of routine square Jupiter and the Sun in your communication sector. Mars/Jupiter can pump up enthusiastic promises and assertive declarations. Mercury into your communication sector increases the flow of intel, new contacts or opportunities to discuss.  But Sun/Pluto adds an element of defensiveness – someone may challenge the validity of what you’re proposing, or you may find it difficultto present solutions/compromises. 

Saturn in your sector of self-expression squares the Nodes, urging you to get serious about a personal goal. New romance, creative/artistic work, or issues involving children/pregnancy may be up for a reality check. Themes could include available financial resources, or the work that’s needed to manifest emotional and financial security (or independence). 

Virgo

Mars and Pluto in your sector of self-expression square Jupiter and the Sun in your sector of personal resources. Mars/Jupiter can present a financial opportunity, or an impulse buy. There may be a big, unexpected purchase. Too, you could suddenly decide to throw caution to the winds and take a romantic or creative risk. Mercury into your sector of personal resources gets you thinking/talking about what you really need, while Sun/Pluto can increase your determination to go after it. Emotionally or financially, you won’t be in the mood to compromise. 

Saturn in your domestic sector squares the North Node in your sign/South Node in your partnership sector. A domestic partnership or family issue could reach a turning point, where you must decide on the your focus and responsibilities. A relationship could turn a corner, and an ending or new chapter will depend on you developing a facet of your identity/personal goals, and what this means to those around you. One domestic responsibility could be particularly irritating or disruptive. A partnership could end, but you will have seen this coming for awhile. 

Libra

Mars and Pluto in your domestic sector square Jupiter and the Sun in your sign. Mars/Jupiter can give you a significant surge of energy, ambition and optimism, in a career, relationship or lifestyle matter. This is an “all systems go” influence, and domestic/family changes (such as relocation or shifts in family dynamics) can lead to something positive. Mercury into your sign fine-tunes your already significant compromising skills, but Sun/Pluto suggests those skills will be challenged to the max. A power play, challenge or compulsion can throw you off balance, while amplifying your urge to make something happen. 

Scorpio

Mars and Pluto in your communication sector square Jupiter and the Sun in your hidden sector. Mars/Jupiter suggest background or unacknowledged potential/assistance can fire your passion, your argument or your desire to get your point across. Mercury into your hidden sector suggests instinct and suggestion hold more value than logic, since all the information has not yet been revealed. But Sun/Pluto may urge you to come out and say it anyway – be aware of deeper objectives that are triggering the conversation. A document, email or decision will be rooted in something you can’t see. 

Saturn in your sector of personal resources squares the Nodes, putting on you on notice that a financial or emotional responsibility must be attended to.  Your self-sufficiency, savings or discipline will be the keys in developing something personal and taking it further. Issues involving a new romance, public performance or children/pregnancy may be emphasized. 

Sagittarius

Mars and Pluto in your sector of personal resources square Jupiter and the Sun in your social sector. Social expansion, issues with friends or group activities will be high-energy and exciting. You may have a chance to plunge into something new, or you may meet someone who opens new doors for you. Mercury into your social sector increases the amount of new contacts, but Sun/Pluto suggests that not everything may be friendly. Social ambitions will be emphasized, but watch for undercurrents of domination, or unacknowledged jealousy/competition in a friendship. On the positive side, this combination of influences is excellent for pursuing a personal goal/ideal, or making changes with a public impact. 

Saturn in your sign squares the Nodes. A career or domestic situation may reach a minor crisis point, as you’re pushed to make a decision about past versus future. Your next step in your professional life may involve a reality check – the time is ripe to focus on a future goal that’s an upgrade, not a lateral move. 

Capricorn

Mars and Pluto in your sign square Jupiter and the Sun in your career sector. Mars/Jupiter heightens your professional or personal ambition, and your confidence. An opportunity to impress others could present itself, or you’ll be pushing for growth in a newly developed area. Mercury into your career sector can open up discussions about a job search, your current job, or it can trigger discussions with those in authority. Sun/Pluto suggests some dealings with authority may be tense, but ultimately this can be a very productive time when you break through a limit, or show others that you’ve got what it takes. But use some caution – avoid inflaming a power struggle by refusing to compromise or back off. There will some resistance to your efforts, so use strategy rather than brute force.

Saturn in your hidden sector squares the Nodes, suggesting a background or unacknowledged issue will need to be confronted. Issues around travel, education, legal matters, legal documents, official statements or getting your words out to a wider audience may be blocked until you wrap up something from the past, tie up loose ends, or focus your energy.  

Aquarius

Mars and Pluto in your hidden sector square Jupiter and the Sun in your sector of opportunities. Mars/Jupiter can boost the instinctive pull in a new direction – long- distance travel, education, exploration or legal matters are areas that offer new possibilities, even if you’re not 100% certain what lies ahead. Mercury into your opportunities sector can see you discussing/considering new options, but Sun/Pluto can produce tension as deep-seated fears or odd compulsions are stirred up. For some, there may be difficulties with justice, ethics and fairness. 

Saturn in your social sector squares the Nodes, pinpointing an area of tension or choice in a friendship, group activity or public issue. You may need to decide who to trust, who to get closer to, or where to draw your boundaries. Being selective involves identifying who supports the ideals that are most important to you. Too, a recent mission or cause may reach a turning point, where you decide whether to let go or make a deeper commitment. Finances could be a deciding factor. 

Pisces

Mars and Pluto in your social sector square Jupiter and the Sun in your sector of shared resources. Mars/Jupiter can increase your desire to invest, spend or give more, perhaps on a whim. Financially or emotionally, you may be ready to dive right in. Mercury into your sector of shared resources suggests discussions/documents around intimacy or shared finances, but Sun/Pluto is a caution to stay aware of deeper motivations, or a shift in the balance of power that may result with a financial/emotional exchange. Whether you’re getting closer, incurring a loan or receiving assistance, the exchange will not be even. 

Saturn in your career sector squares the South Node in your sign, North Node in your partnership sector. Career/future choices, or decisions about your authority, will be the themes. It may be time to make career shift, leave an unsatisfying job, or get serious about your future goals. Failure to attend to these responsibilities can delay your personal development, or cause tension in a relationship. Too, a new relationship may be a catalyst for pushing yourself further in these areas.

Overview

September 26th sees a fortuitous union between the Sun and Jupiter in Libra, which points to developments during September 30th’s New Moon in Libra. Jupiter’s influence increases hopes, future possibilities and goodwill. Nothing is set in stone at this point, but it can certainly feel good. Social aspects (platonic and romantic) should receive the most significant impact, so use this week to reach out and see what others have to offer. Increased receptivity and cooperation can create progress in an area that you wouldn’t usually consider. Note that this Moon features a questionable inconjunct to Neptune Rx, so there is a risk of overestimating. But there’s also a nice sextile to Saturn in Sagittarius, lending support to realistic efforts.  

September 26th also sees Pluto in Capricorn stationing direct, and September 27th marks Mars’ Capricorn ingress. Forward movement of Pluto’s total metamorphosis, combined with Mars’ immediate actions, mean significant progress. Mars is the visible manifestation (via initiative, effort, passion or anger) of Pluto’s evolution, and Capricorn gives this energy structure and focus. Train your sights in the right direction and apply sustained effort. 

Note the disparity between Jupiter/Libra’s buoyancy and Pluto/Mars/Capricorn’s more solitary, serious vibe. One may be favoured over the other, depending on your situation.  But ideally, a blend of both (social optimism underpinned with grounded focus) will deliver maximum results. 

Aries

Sun/Jupiter and the New Moon in your partnership sector can open up possibilities in a one-on-one relationship. A romantic or business partnership can start off on a buoyant note, with big hopes for the future. Or, an existing relationship can move in a positive, growth-oriented direction.  

Pluto direct and Mars into your career sector see you primed for decisive action. They will assist you with authority, whether you’re exercising it or dealing with someone else’s.

Taurus

Sun/Jupiter and the New Moon in your sector of routine can bring more work, but also a positive spin on how to handle your obligations. Co-worker relationships can improve, or new work dynamics can open your eyes to fresh possibilities. Watch for improved cooperation in your daily work routines. New health regimes or medical information can be positive, or at least increase your enthusiasm for self-improvement.

Pluto direct and Mars into your sector of opportunities will increase your confidence and motivation to step into new territory. If you’re feeling the urge to explore, go for it.

Gemini

Sun/Jupiter and the New Moon in your sector of self-expression can be uplifting and exciting. New romance or opportunities to play/celebrate/create are possibilities. You’ll be ready to enjoy yourself to the max, or take a risk that you normally wouldn’t consider. There’s potential to create something that lasts (especially if a relationship is involved) but make sure you don’t overdo it in the moment. Save something for later. 

Pluto direct and Mars into your sector of shared resources can help you get a grip on money issues (debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances).  A debt could be paid off, or you could reach the point where you’re ready to confront financial issues.

These influences urge decisive action and a fearless approach to what’s hidden. 

Cancer

Additions to the family, a bigger home, home improvements or improved family relationships are possibilities.

Ongoing changes with a partner can move to the next level, and a decisive push (or disagreement) may get the ball rolling.

A new business partnership that begins around this time should feature tons of dynamic energy. 

Leo

Sun/Jupiter and the New Moon in your communication sector put you in the path of good news or fortuitous contacts. Too, if you want to convince, sell or impress, now’s the time to say it/write it.

Any new social or professional opportunities that come your way now are worth looking into.

Scorpio

Sun/Jupiter and the New Moon in your hidden sector suggest something fermenting in the background. A glimpse of future possibilities, or a sense of more to come, can unfold quietly.

Pluto direct and Mars into your communication sector can uncover some vital information, or push you to speak up about an issue that’s been simmering for awhile. Watch for an increased sense of determination, assertiveness or anger, about what you want to communicate. If there is anger, try to focus your energy on getting your point across rather than attacking someone else. Relationships with siblings can experience a flare up. 

Sagittarius

Sun/Jupiter and the New Moon in your social sector open a positive door regarding friendships, group activities or your public image.

Aquarius

Sun/Jupiter and the New Moon in your sector of opportunities can present something new and untested in the areas of travel, education, legal matters, publishing or exploration. This is your moment to step out and take a chance in a brand new area. Something as simple as taking a course (on a whim) or trying a new restaurant could lead to much more.

Pluto direct and Mars into your hidden sector can stoke the fires of a background ambition or larger life change.

Trust this, and allow Mars to trigger your instincts about what’s next.   

Pisces

Sun/Jupiter and the New Moon in your sector of shared resources can lead to expansive moments of intimacy, or financial assistance. You could discover more in a relationship or financial situation, but the inconjunct to Neptune Rx in your sign advises a bit of caution: there’s also a risk of overestimating what someone wants to give, or what you’re able to spend. Use extra caution when dealing with debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances. Allow things to develop without pinning all your hopes on one area.
