Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, October 14th:

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoC until 12:24pm EDT. 

Monday very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 2:56am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday (Oct. 12th) on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday (Oct. 15th ). This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.

How can we get the most from this opportunity? By allowing ourselves to go deeper as we investigate our fear-based thinking or self-defeating behaviors. As best as you can, commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.

If we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more deeply, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 12-17 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).

Also, Monday very early morning, a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 3:38am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Thursday (Oct. 10th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday (Oct. 17th). What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.

Coming into focus now: the relationship with a father-figure (or other important males). We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.

We may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us — the “something” could include attitudes.

This fear may also lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with exactly what’s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.

We may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.

If you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-24 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio).

Monday at 12:24pm EDT, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words …

In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two and a half days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉

Tuesday, October 15th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day (see Monday early afternoon for details).

Tuesday early morning: our instincts and need for enjoyment are strong. We feel the need to stay grounded in our body (preferably while surrounded by and enjoying nature or beauty), and the need for deeply, empowering connections. As best as you can, balance these needs by getting in touch with what you truly want and what motivates you: Is it deeper emotional connections or earthly pleasures? A need for peace and physical pleasure? A need to merge? All of the above? What if you let yourself enjoy others in mutual pursuit of any shared values? What if you let yourself enjoy life 5% more than usual?

Tuesday late afternoon: Slow down a little and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. Rushing will backfire right now.

Tuesday evening, a harmonious Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. This aspect supports imaginative thinking and the ability to connect our day-to-day mind with our intuition.

We pick up on what is going on with people, and can flow with that, as we can sense how our words land. This heightened sensitivity to subtle signals also opens us to metaphysical or spiritual concepts, visual arts, poetry — and to commercial messaging from advertisers and marketers.

Do you have any of your personal planets or Ascendent in 13-20 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces or Cancer? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

Also, Tuesday evening, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach.

Wednesday, October 16th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 10:30pm EDT (see Monday early afternoon for details).

Wednesday early morning, we are invited to make some internal adjustments… We may want to enjoy some luxurious pleasures, while feeling at the same time a desire to have an adventure of the mind and soul.

Wednesday at 4:36am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 18 hours until 10:30pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday early morning until the late evening ahead of time.

Wednesday late morning, we are invited to make some internal adjustments: We may want to have some peace and quiet, while at the same time, feeling the need to connect with others. What might be required to achieve a balanced mental and physical approach right now?

Wednesday at 10:30pm EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Saturday morning. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂

Thursday, October 17th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Wednesday late evening for details).

Thursday very early morning, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections?

Thursday until 2pm EDT, is your last chance to sign up for Thursday’s FORECASTING FORUM (if you are not already a Star or Super Star Member). If you want to join live, please know that registration closes an hour before the live event begins. If you register after 2pm EDT on Thursday, you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the live event.

Please note that we’ll talk about the third Mercury Retrograde phase of the year in Scorpio (starting Oct. 31st) See top of the page for more details.

Thursday afternoon: we feel enthusiastic and social, and seek connection on a mental level; we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them.

Thursday evening, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward emotionally deep, transformative connections; we are asked to bring awareness to our motivations when connecting and relating to others — are we after superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.

Friday, October 18th:

Friday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Wednesday late evening for details).

Friday very early morning, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward being responsible and building something that will last long-term.

Friday early morning, we are required to make some adjustments — and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

Friday early afternoon feels a little uneasy. Again, we need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire for accomplishment, on the other, our need to make connections and exchange information.
We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.

Friday afternoon, we are invited to balance our desire for sharing and gathering information with our desire to go beyond learned knowledge and tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow and expand mentally, physically or spiritually.

Friday late evening, at 10:14pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 8.5 hours until 6:43am EDT (Saturday morning). Use this intuitive time to enjoy a nice feeling of social ease, coupled with an ability to connect harmoniously with others; allow whatever is shared to be beneficial for both parties.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late evening until Saturday morning ahead of time.

Saturday, October 19th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoC until 6:43am EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until next week, Monday early afternoon (Oct. 21st). With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: we like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.

Nurture yourself and others, but remember: Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it — otherwise we might start resenting others for draining our energies. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday, Oct. 21st).

Saturday late morning, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues.

Saturday afternoon, brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security.

Saturday early evening, an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 6:21pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from this Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday evening (Oct. 22rd). This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it. It’s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren’t on “automatic”… we have to go after them, realize them.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 17-24 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Scorpio (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)

Sunday, October 20th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Saturday morning for details).

Sunday morning, we have a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you, and your loved ones.

Also, Sunday morning, we may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others. This could create some tension or oppositional behaviors — so, as best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care, doing your best to take care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to stay grounded in reality.

Sunday late morning, an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 9:58am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from this Thursday evening on; it will be strong until next week, Tuesday (Oct. 22nd). This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values and financial affairs: We are more able to get to the bottom of what needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for how we are handling things.

On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments in other people’s resources. There’s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly — do the “due diligence”. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to “take” it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-18 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces or Virgo ? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Also late morning, on Sunday (around 11:20am EDT), Mars reaches 10.5 degrees of Libra, where it will form a square with the degree of the Solar Eclipse that occurred back in July 2nd. We are at a turning point.

Observe how this plays out for you today: What are you looking to nurture? What adjustments or creative solutions might clear the way for you to move forward powerfully in your one-on-one relationships (business or personal)? What needs to change?

Watch for important insights and developments today. Our direct experience is our most valuable resource, especially if we allow ourselves to take in helpful feedback from others.

Sunday early afternoon, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.

Sunday evening, we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors… As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.

Sunday late evening, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to expand our horizons and learn more about life, other cultures, religions, philosophies, etc. — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body and what already feels familiar.

And…

A heads up for next Monday (October 21st): the Moon remains protective, nurturing in Cancer until 12:29pm EDT. In the morning, at 8:39am EDT, the last Quarter Moon in almost 28 degrees of Cancer becomes exact. As well as, at 8:39am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 4 hours until 12:29pm EDT. At 12:29pm EDT, the Moon moves into attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 23rd). And, in the afternoon, a harmonious Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 3:40pm EDT; we started to feel this aspect from Oct. 19th on; it will be strong until Oct. 23rd. More about all the details in next week’s forecast 🙂
