Astrology Forecast for Mon. Oct 2nd – Sun. Oct 8th, 2017<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.astrologercoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/750_500_csupload_52782237-300x200.jpg\")
Last week for me was all about spiritual and emotional healing and growth. This quote from Viktor Frankl resonated with me: “The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity \u2014 even under the most difficult circumstances \u2014 to add a deeper meaning to his life.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBefore we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\nVery last chance to sign up for my FORECASTING FORUM, this\u00a0Friday at\u00a012pmPT\/\u00a03pm ET\/8pm BST (London-time).\u00a0Please note that we will look at Jupiter changing signs from Libra to Scorpio on Oct. 10th\u00a0and\u00a0moving through this powerful sign until Nov. 2018,\u00a0in relationship to our own birth charts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIf you would like to join live, you must register at least an hour before the live event starts (before 11am PDT\/2pm EDT) — if you register after that time you will receive an mp4-video presentation of this event.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOther than\u00a0booking a reading<\/a>\u00a0with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s\u00a0only $24\u00a0for the 90-minute webinar.\u00a0To\u00a0register now, click here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis week’s headline items:<\/strong>\u00a0the Full Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Pluto’s energy remains exalted all week (its station phase ends on Oct. 10th). There will also be four\u00a0Moon VoC phases<\/a>: Monday late morning (for a little over 3 hours), Wednesday very early morning (a little over 13 hours), Friday evening (almost 1.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (12 hours).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMonday (Oct. 2nd):<\/strong>\u00a0the Moon remains infreedom-loving, forward-thinking\u00a0Aquarius\u00a0until 10:26am EDT.\u00a0With this Moon placement, we often feel emotionally detached; when we do connect to our feelings, it’s typically from a cerebral, intellectual place. We need a cause or project that resonates — preferably one where we can connect with like-minded people.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFor the next couple of days, we’ll tend to be more eccentric or experimental; future-related issues like politics or education call to us now, as do unusual or even esoteric subjects like Astrology, UFOs… indeed anything from outer space. Our scientific approach to things leans on originality and ingenuity; we definitely love being unconventional.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe increased value we place on personal and emotional independence could make us come off as indifferent or cold in one-on-one interactions. That said, we can still be friendly and kind, provided we aren’t pushed into doing something conventional or unethical.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMonday at 7:13am EDT,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for a little over 3 hours\u00a0until 10:26am EDT. Use this intuitive time to fulfill your need for future exploration — and allow for others to contribute new perspectives.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAs 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 Monday morning ahead of time \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMonday at 10:26am EDT,\u00a0the Moon moves into creative, sensitive\u00a0Pisces,\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until Wednesday late afternoon.This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBut… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIt’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTuesday (October 3rd):\u00a0the Moon remains in creative, sensitive\u00a0Pisces\u00a0all day\u00a0(see Monday late morning for details).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTuesday mid-afternoon,\u00a0a harmonious Venus\/Pluto aspect\u00a0becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Saturday.\u00a0This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well.\u00a0Work we’ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning and strategy — as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession.\u00a0If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets,\u00a0you might just meet the “love of your life”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOne thing is for sure — relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThose of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in\u00a014-20 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Virgo, Capricorn\u00a0or\u00a0Taurus\u00a0will be most blessed by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio\u00a0(Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWednesday (October 4th):\u00a0the Moon remains in creative, sensitive\u00a0Pisces\u00a0until\u00a04:40pm\u00a0(see Monday late morning for details).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWednesday at 3:19am EDT,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for a little over 13 hours\u00a0until 4:40pm EDT. We are pulled in two quite different directions:\u00a0On the one hand, we experience a desire for inner silence, emotional oneness, and the flow of creativity through us.\u00a0On the other hand, we want to explore our belief structures and how they relate to the outside world.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWe may therefore feel anxious or restless; as best as you can, slow down, acknowledge what is, know that all is well in each “now moment”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nUse this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. 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 Day ahead of time \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWednesday at 4:40pm EDT,\u00a0the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced\u00a0Aries,\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until Friday evening.\u00a0Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIf you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Thursday afternoon).\u00a0Click here to watch my Full Moon video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nWednesday late evening,\u00a0a somewhat challenging Sun\/Neptune aspect\u00a0becomes exact at 11:09pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Thursday night.\u00a0This aspect feels “internal” — inner unease and awkwardness — and we need to make a choice. Given that it is an internal issue, we need to develop an inner awareness, if we\u2019re to see what needs adjusting.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOur energy tends to be unrealistically directed — and our sense of self may actually change as we learn that we have wrongly assessed important situations. Our self-trust could takes a hit at this time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDue to our high ideals, we may take on more than we can physically handle — if we start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at the overall direction we are taking.\u00a0Do your best to rest and have quiet time alongside your interactions with others.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIt is also worthwhile to look for how our ideas are being received by others: Can we involve them in creating\/realizing our dreams? Perhaps we are not sure whether we want to keep dreaming our dream privately, or share it with others… As best as you can, slow down: where there is spaciousness, there is flow; where there is flow, there is effortless creation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDo you have your Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a011-13 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces\u00a0(the Sun rules of Leo; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAlso,\u00a0tomorrow\u00a0(Thursday\u00a0all day) and\u00a0Friday before\u00a02pm EDT,\u00a0is your last chance to sign up for Friday’s FORECASTING FORUM.\u00a0Please note we willaddress Jupiter’s journey through Scorpio in relationship to our own birth charts. If you want to know how this is going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOther than\u00a0booking a reading<\/a>\u00a0with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s\u00a0only $24\u00a0for the 90-minute webinar.\u00a0To\u00a0register now, click here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nIf you would like to join live, please keep in mind that\u00a0registration will close an hour before the live event begins, if you register after\u00a02pm EDT\u00a0on Friday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThursday (October 5th):\u00a0the Moon remains in\u00a0pioneering, fast-paced\u00a0Aries\u00a0all day\u00a0(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThursday early afternoon,\u00a0a Venus\/Mars alignment in 19 degrees of\u00a0Virgo\u00a0becomes exact at 12:53pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Sept 30th) on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct 10th).\u00a0This is a very passionate combination: action and receptivity, assertiveness and allowing. Please see the Full Moon entry for more on this aspect…<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a016-22 degrees\u00a0ofVirgo, Pisces, Gemini\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Aries\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThursday afternoon,\u00a0at 2:40pm EDT\u00a0the Moon opposes the Sun\u00a0in almost 13 degrees of\u00a0Aries.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect when the Moon entered\u00a0Aries\u00a0on Wednesday afternoon. Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our “emotional body\u201d increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored.\u00a0Feel free to also watch my video on the subject<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Aries\/Libra polarity\u00a0directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships \u2014 and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even redefine them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn particular, it brings the focus to “independence”: Where do we need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have we been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Where in your life is one of these out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSomething else to bear in mind about this Full Moon: not only is\u00a0the Sun\u00a0in opposition to the Moon in Aries, it is also\u00a0aligned with Mercury in\u00a0Libra.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis is a call for exploration of loving, equal, mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships \u2014 and\u00a0a good time to resolve conflicts, especially within our one-on-one relationships: What is calling to be resolved?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThat said, the strongest message of this Full Moon is definitely that healthy relationship with our own inner feminine and masculine energies. What if you already knew how to experience this balance?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMars\u00a0(the ruler of Aries)\u00a0and Venus\u00a0(the ruler of Libra)\u00a0are both currently in\u00a0Virgo,\u00a0closely aligned,squaring Saturn in\u00a0Sagittarius,\u00a0opposing Chiron in\u00a0Pisces,\u00a0andtrining Pluto inCapricorn.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSo let’s talk first about the\u00a0Venus\/Mars alignment in\u00a0Virgo:\u00a0this indicates a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active\/doing\/asserting) and feminine (receiving\/allowing\/being) to work together and be of service to each other. We have a chance to express our needs, passions, and desires now in more effective ways and are more likely to get things done well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nGiven that this combo is taking place in Virgo, we prefer to take a realistic approach to things, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence, and enjoying the details. We definitely also have a desire to help and serve others rights now.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThings to watch out for though: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesn\u2019t get done “right”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe last time we experienced this alignment was back in\u00a0Nov. 2015:\u00a0Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMars and Venus\u00a0square Saturn in\u00a0Sagittarius;\u00a0this combo invites us to stretch and grow.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWe are learning to live life in moderation… and this might be frustrating at first, if we develop the sense that we don’t have “enough” (experiences, knowledge, expertise, success, etc…) What\u2019s more, Virgo\u2019s perfectionism might also make it difficult to know when it might actually be \u201cenough\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAsk yourself: What if I was inherently already (and always) enough? Would that knowledge allow me to step off the merry-go-round?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHow might it benefit me to slow down and take it one step at a time? What hasn’t been said yet? How could I communicate that from a place of maturity and self-responsibility — without being rigid?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMars and Venus\u00a0oppose Chiron in\u00a0Pisces:\u00a0We are asked to embrace the \u201cpower of love\u201d, that comes from allowing ourselves to be human and accepting our limitations — loving ourselves \u201cbecause\u201d of all that, rather than “despite” it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nChiron is supporting us with healing and the integration of issues around the feminine\/masculine balance that we all need to feel whole, that helps us to function better out there in the world. This is definitely a favorable time for practicing forgiveness, both towards others and toward ourselves; what if, in fact, there was nothing to forgive? What if everything were already forgiven?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWe are invited to deeply appreciate the partnership with the Earth and all of life. Ask yourself: What am I able to feel when I tune into all of life around me? How can I bring a kind and loving approach to myself as I allow myself to experience human frailty?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMars and Venus\u00a0trinePluto in\u00a0Capricorn.\u00a0This\u00a0allows for a flow between our actions and ability to be of service, and our collective Soul Purpose of building an empowered society that is emotionally connected to (even passionate about) achieving something great and lasting, that works for everyone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis is a very practical combo that reminds us we are all born onto a living, breathing entity that is our home and that we must protect and nourish, if we want to continue being supported by its resources. What might being of service to my own body and the body of the planet I live on look like? How might this approach bring about a better future for generations to come?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPluto in\u00a0Capricorn, still exalted in the sky until Oct. 10th,\u00a0squares the Full Moon and Mercury in\u00a0Libra…\u00a0This is also a “stretch aspect” — it invites us to connect to ourselves from within, even though there is so much that pulls us into other directions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAries & Libra\u00a0are both extroverted, social signs — and Pluto in\u00a0Capricorn\u00a0asks us to feel fully empowered in the world. In order to do that, we need to first bring empowerment to our emotional body and get clear about what we need on that level, vs. what we want (i.e our desires.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAsk yourself: How might I be able to strengthen my connection to the wisdom of my body? To my inner roots? What activities might help me feel more grounded and safe in the world? How can I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent? What would it look like to stand in my power\u00a0and\u00a0grow and evolve with the support of others?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPluto represents our deepest empowerment process — it’s where we face our worst fears, own our shadow (all that has been suppressed or denied), and align with our divine purpose. We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires may surface and demand action.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat am I most scared about, when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I allowing myself to listen to the deepest calling of my Soul?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAs best you can, choose words carefully, speaking from a deeply connected and empowered place.\u00a0Choose love over fear whenever possible. Ask: could I nurture myself — mentally, physically and emotionally \u2014 such that I feel safe and loved? Maybe like a healthy parent cradling a baby\u2026?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSome more questions you can ask yourself: Could I let go of wanting to control another’s experience? Could I allow myself to have productive discussions rather than controversy? What might complete honesty and transparency make possible? What does mutual empowerment look like to me?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThere is also a\u00a0Jupiter\/Uranus opposition in\u00a0Libra\/Aries.\u00a0This asks us to be brave — willing to take risks, explore new alternatives, access our courage and think outside the box.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis also generates lots of core energy and enthusiasm, inspiring us to break free from conventional, outdated social structures, especially the roles we play. We might need more independence in our relationships. As best as you can, use this energy to initiate new, exciting relationships — including the “relationship” with yourself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat does “new and unexpected” look like to me? How could I generate change without discounting input from others? Could I allow myself to be with what I see, without acting impulsively or erratically to force change?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAs\u00a0Jupiter moves into the last degree of\u00a0Libra, it’s energy becomes more exalted; it is getting ready to leave this sign of balance, equality and justice. You could say it is about to have its last hurrah in “maybe this, maybe that?\u201d Libra,\u00a0before it moves into all-or-nothing Scorpio on\u00a0Oct. 10th for a little over a year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWe will address Jupiter’s journey through Scorpio in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 6th. Feel free to join us; I especially recommend it if you have Scorpio or Sagittarius as your Sun, Moon or Rising-sign.\u00a0To register now, click here\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nTo sum it all up for this Full Moon: We are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth process, in which we are asked to release all that is holding us back\u2026 This means dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, addictions and negative habits, thought patterns — and possessions that take up too much of our time, effort and sense of inner abundance.\u00a0As best as you can, see this an an opportunity; allow, rather than resist \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAnd if nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality\u2026\u00a0not always an easy feat…<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTake a deep breath and allow yourself to see the irony and paradox of “life”. And, as best as you can, take responsibility for your thought forms, remain curious\u00a0and\u00a0nurture yourself, dig deeper to truly understand your own emotional needs, so you can connect to others and yourself from a place of strength and autonomy. For more details on this powerful Full Moon,\u00a0click here and watch my video on the subject<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 10-15 degrees of\u00a0Aries, Libra, Capricorn\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer\u00a0(the personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFriday (October 6th):\u00a0the Moon remains in\u00a0pioneering, fast-paced\u00a0Ariesuntil 7:56pm EDT\u00a0(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFriday afternoon,\u00a0a somewhat challenging Mercury\/Neptune aspectbecomes exact at 1:44pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Saturday.\u00a0This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of “awkward” — and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHonesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What’s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNote that I say “overlap”: Don’t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn’t make sense\u2026 and it doesn’t — it can’t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to “hang out” with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a011-13 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces\u00a0(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFriday before\u00a02pm EDT,\u00a0is your very last chance to sign up for today’s FORECASTING FORUM.\u00a0Please note we willaddress Jupiter’s journey through Scorpio in relationship to our own birth charts. If you want to know how this is going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOther than\u00a0booking a reading<\/a>\u00a0with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s\u00a0only $24\u00a0for the 90-minute webinar.\u00a0To\u00a0register now, click here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nIf you would like to join live, please keep in mind that\u00a0registration will close an hour before the live event begins, if you register after\u00a02pm EDT\u00a0on Friday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFriday at 6:38pm EDT,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for almost 1.5 hours,\u00a0until 7:56pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to balance asserting your unique spark with your desire to collaborate. 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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFriday at 7:56pm EDT,\u00a0the Moon moves\u00a0into steady, peaceful\u00a0Taurus, where it will be\u00a0until Sunday late evening.\u00a0We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSaturday (October 7th):\u00a0the Moon remains in\u00a0steady, peaceful\u00a0Taurus\u00a0all day\u00a0(see Friday evening for details).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSaturdayafternoon,\u00a0we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOn\u00a0Saturday evening,\u00a0we 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. How might a balance mental and physical approach support us right now?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSunday (October 8th):\u00a0the Moon remains in\u00a0steady, peacefulT aurus\u00a0until 9:44pm EDT\u00a0(see Friday evening for details).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSunday morning,\u00a0a challenging Venus\/Saturn aspectbecomes exact at 8:54am EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Thursday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct. 10th).\u00a0It\u00a0asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we’ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point —\u00a0a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOn the one hand, we want to improve our relationships in a very practical way, thinking our way through things in detail. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore \u201cthe larger truth\u201d about ourselves and others \u2014 to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now — and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship.\u00a0Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it. The key is to approach things with an open heart, clarity and\u00a0maturity.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nRigidity or pushing doesn’t usually get us what we want: Sometimes, it\u2019s better to go one step at a time; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in\u00a019-26 degreesof\u00a0Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSunday at 9:45am EDT,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for 12 hours,\u00a0until 9:44pm EDT.\u00a0Use this intuitive time to connect with others in earthly ways and support each other with practical issues.\u00a0As 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 Sunday all day ahead of time \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSunday late afternoon,\u00a0a Sun\/Mercury alignmentin almost 16 degrees of\u00a0Libra\u00a0becomes exact at 4:54pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until next week Thursday (Oct 12th).\u00a0This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nGiven that this alignment takes place in Libra, we may be particularly indecisive — do your best to not get stuck out of a need for justice, fairness, or social harmony.<\/p>\n
We want an active role in communications — it’s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?<\/p>\n
Our opinions are strong and our thinking independent — and we’re proud of both — our egos may therefore get bruised if we don’t feel “heard”. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that’s ok.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a013-19 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Libra, Aries, Cancer\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn?\u00a0If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo, Gemini\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSunday at 9:44pm EDT,\u00a0the Moon moves into chatty, versatile\u00a0Gemini,\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until this Tuesday late evening.\u00a0For 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 \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n**************<\/div>\nA head’s up for next\u00a0Monday (Oct. 9th):\u00a0The Moon remains in chatty, versatile\u00a0Geminiall day\u00a0(see Sunday evening for details).\u00a0Monday morning,\u00a0a challenging Mercury\/Pluto aspectbecomes exact at 8:26am EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Saturday on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday.Monday evening,\u00a0a challenging Sun\/Pluto aspectbecomes exact at 8:12pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Thursday.More about all the details in next week\u2019s forecast \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOne Last Announcement:<\/div>\nLast chance to join me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, on\u00a0Friday,\u00a0Oct. 6th, 2017 at\u00a012pmPT\/\u00a03pm ET\/8pm BST (London-time).\u00a0Please note that\u00a0we will be talking aboutJupiter changing signs from Libra to Scorpio on Oct. 10th\u00a0and\u00a0moving through this powerful sign until Nov. 2018,\u00a0in relationship to our own birth charts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIf you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

Last week for me was all about spiritual and emotional healing and growth. This quote from Viktor Frankl resonated with me: “The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity \u2014 even under the most difficult circumstances \u2014 to add a deeper meaning to his life.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This week’s headline items:<\/strong>\u00a0the Full Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Pluto’s energy remains exalted all week (its station phase ends on Oct. 10th). There will also be four\u00a0Moon VoC phases<\/a>: Monday late morning (for a little over 3 hours), Wednesday very early morning (a little over 13 hours), Friday evening (almost 1.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (12 hours).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Monday (Oct. 2nd):<\/strong>\u00a0the Moon remains infreedom-loving, forward-thinking\u00a0Aquarius\u00a0until 10:26am EDT.\u00a0With this Moon placement, we often feel emotionally detached; when we do connect to our feelings, it’s typically from a cerebral, intellectual place. We need a cause or project that resonates — preferably one where we can connect with like-minded people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the next couple of days, we’ll tend to be more eccentric or experimental; future-related issues like politics or education call to us now, as do unusual or even esoteric subjects like Astrology, UFOs… indeed anything from outer space. Our scientific approach to things leans on originality and ingenuity; we definitely love being unconventional.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The increased value we place on personal and emotional independence could make us come off as indifferent or cold in one-on-one interactions. That said, we can still be friendly and kind, provided we aren’t pushed into doing something conventional or unethical.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Monday at 7:13am EDT,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for a little over 3 hours\u00a0until 10:26am EDT. Use this intuitive time to fulfill your need for future exploration — and allow for others to contribute new perspectives.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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 Monday morning ahead of time \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Monday at 10:26am EDT,\u00a0the Moon moves into creative, sensitive\u00a0Pisces,\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until Wednesday late afternoon.This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tuesday (October 3rd):\u00a0the Moon remains in creative, sensitive\u00a0Pisces\u00a0all day\u00a0(see Monday late morning for details).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tuesday mid-afternoon,\u00a0a harmonious Venus\/Pluto aspect\u00a0becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Saturday.\u00a0This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is likely an excellent period for finances as well.\u00a0Work we’ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning and strategy — as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession.\u00a0If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets,\u00a0you might just meet the “love of your life”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One thing is for sure — relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in\u00a014-20 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Virgo, Capricorn\u00a0or\u00a0Taurus\u00a0will be most blessed by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio\u00a0(Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wednesday (October 4th):\u00a0the Moon remains in creative, sensitive\u00a0Pisces\u00a0until\u00a04:40pm\u00a0(see Monday late morning for details).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wednesday at 3:19am EDT,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for a little over 13 hours\u00a0until 4:40pm EDT. We are pulled in two quite different directions:\u00a0On the one hand, we experience a desire for inner silence, emotional oneness, and the flow of creativity through us.\u00a0On the other hand, we want to explore our belief structures and how they relate to the outside world.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We may therefore feel anxious or restless; as best as you can, slow down, acknowledge what is, know that all is well in each “now moment”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. 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 Day ahead of time \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wednesday at 4:40pm EDT,\u00a0the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced\u00a0Aries,\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until Friday evening.\u00a0Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Thursday afternoon).\u00a0Click here to watch my Full Moon video<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wednesday late evening,\u00a0a somewhat challenging Sun\/Neptune aspect\u00a0becomes exact at 11:09pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Thursday night.\u00a0This aspect feels “internal” — inner unease and awkwardness — and we need to make a choice. Given that it is an internal issue, we need to develop an inner awareness, if we\u2019re to see what needs adjusting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our energy tends to be unrealistically directed — and our sense of self may actually change as we learn that we have wrongly assessed important situations. Our self-trust could takes a hit at this time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Due to our high ideals, we may take on more than we can physically handle — if we start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at the overall direction we are taking.\u00a0Do your best to rest and have quiet time alongside your interactions with others.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is also worthwhile to look for how our ideas are being received by others: Can we involve them in creating\/realizing our dreams? Perhaps we are not sure whether we want to keep dreaming our dream privately, or share it with others… As best as you can, slow down: where there is spaciousness, there is flow; where there is flow, there is effortless creation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you have your Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a011-13 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces\u00a0(the Sun rules of Leo; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Thursday (October 5th):\u00a0the Moon remains in\u00a0pioneering, fast-paced\u00a0Aries\u00a0all day\u00a0(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thursday early afternoon,\u00a0a Venus\/Mars alignment in 19 degrees of\u00a0Virgo\u00a0becomes exact at 12:53pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Sept 30th) on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct 10th).\u00a0This is a very passionate combination: action and receptivity, assertiveness and allowing. Please see the Full Moon entry for more on this aspect…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a016-22 degrees\u00a0ofVirgo, Pisces, Gemini\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Aries\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thursday afternoon,\u00a0at 2:40pm EDT\u00a0the Moon opposes the Sun\u00a0in almost 13 degrees of\u00a0Aries.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect when the Moon entered\u00a0Aries\u00a0on Wednesday afternoon. Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our “emotional body\u201d increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored.\u00a0Feel free to also watch my video on the subject<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Aries\/Libra polarity\u00a0directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships \u2014 and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even redefine them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In particular, it brings the focus to “independence”: Where do we need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have we been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Where in your life is one of these out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Something else to bear in mind about this Full Moon: not only is\u00a0the Sun\u00a0in opposition to the Moon in Aries, it is also\u00a0aligned with Mercury in\u00a0Libra.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is a call for exploration of loving, equal, mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships \u2014 and\u00a0a good time to resolve conflicts, especially within our one-on-one relationships: What is calling to be resolved?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That said, the strongest message of this Full Moon is definitely that healthy relationship with our own inner feminine and masculine energies. What if you already knew how to experience this balance?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mars\u00a0(the ruler of Aries)\u00a0and Venus\u00a0(the ruler of Libra)\u00a0are both currently in\u00a0Virgo,\u00a0closely aligned,squaring Saturn in\u00a0Sagittarius,\u00a0opposing Chiron in\u00a0Pisces,\u00a0andtrining Pluto inCapricorn.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So let’s talk first about the\u00a0Venus\/Mars alignment in\u00a0Virgo:\u00a0this indicates a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active\/doing\/asserting) and feminine (receiving\/allowing\/being) to work together and be of service to each other. We have a chance to express our needs, passions, and desires now in more effective ways and are more likely to get things done well.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Given that this combo is taking place in Virgo, we prefer to take a realistic approach to things, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence, and enjoying the details. We definitely also have a desire to help and serve others rights now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Things to watch out for though: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesn\u2019t get done “right”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The last time we experienced this alignment was back in\u00a0Nov. 2015:\u00a0Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mars and Venus\u00a0square Saturn in\u00a0Sagittarius;\u00a0this combo invites us to stretch and grow.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are learning to live life in moderation… and this might be frustrating at first, if we develop the sense that we don’t have “enough” (experiences, knowledge, expertise, success, etc…) What\u2019s more, Virgo\u2019s perfectionism might also make it difficult to know when it might actually be \u201cenough\u201d.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ask yourself: What if I was inherently already (and always) enough? Would that knowledge allow me to step off the merry-go-round?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How might it benefit me to slow down and take it one step at a time? What hasn’t been said yet? How could I communicate that from a place of maturity and self-responsibility — without being rigid?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mars and Venus\u00a0oppose Chiron in\u00a0Pisces:\u00a0We are asked to embrace the \u201cpower of love\u201d, that comes from allowing ourselves to be human and accepting our limitations — loving ourselves \u201cbecause\u201d of all that, rather than “despite” it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Chiron is supporting us with healing and the integration of issues around the feminine\/masculine balance that we all need to feel whole, that helps us to function better out there in the world. This is definitely a favorable time for practicing forgiveness, both towards others and toward ourselves; what if, in fact, there was nothing to forgive? What if everything were already forgiven?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are invited to deeply appreciate the partnership with the Earth and all of life. Ask yourself: What am I able to feel when I tune into all of life around me? How can I bring a kind and loving approach to myself as I allow myself to experience human frailty?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mars and Venus\u00a0trinePluto in\u00a0Capricorn.\u00a0This\u00a0allows for a flow between our actions and ability to be of service, and our collective Soul Purpose of building an empowered society that is emotionally connected to (even passionate about) achieving something great and lasting, that works for everyone.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is a very practical combo that reminds us we are all born onto a living, breathing entity that is our home and that we must protect and nourish, if we want to continue being supported by its resources. What might being of service to my own body and the body of the planet I live on look like? How might this approach bring about a better future for generations to come?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pluto in\u00a0Capricorn, still exalted in the sky until Oct. 10th,\u00a0squares the Full Moon and Mercury in\u00a0Libra…\u00a0This is also a “stretch aspect” — it invites us to connect to ourselves from within, even though there is so much that pulls us into other directions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Aries & Libra\u00a0are both extroverted, social signs — and Pluto in\u00a0Capricorn\u00a0asks us to feel fully empowered in the world. In order to do that, we need to first bring empowerment to our emotional body and get clear about what we need on that level, vs. what we want (i.e our desires.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ask yourself: How might I be able to strengthen my connection to the wisdom of my body? To my inner roots? What activities might help me feel more grounded and safe in the world? How can I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent? What would it look like to stand in my power\u00a0and\u00a0grow and evolve with the support of others?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pluto represents our deepest empowerment process — it’s where we face our worst fears, own our shadow (all that has been suppressed or denied), and align with our divine purpose. We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires may surface and demand action.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What am I most scared about, when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I allowing myself to listen to the deepest calling of my Soul?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As best you can, choose words carefully, speaking from a deeply connected and empowered place.\u00a0Choose love over fear whenever possible. Ask: could I nurture myself — mentally, physically and emotionally \u2014 such that I feel safe and loved? Maybe like a healthy parent cradling a baby\u2026?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some more questions you can ask yourself: Could I let go of wanting to control another’s experience? Could I allow myself to have productive discussions rather than controversy? What might complete honesty and transparency make possible? What does mutual empowerment look like to me?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There is also a\u00a0Jupiter\/Uranus opposition in\u00a0Libra\/Aries.\u00a0This asks us to be brave — willing to take risks, explore new alternatives, access our courage and think outside the box.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This also generates lots of core energy and enthusiasm, inspiring us to break free from conventional, outdated social structures, especially the roles we play. We might need more independence in our relationships. As best as you can, use this energy to initiate new, exciting relationships — including the “relationship” with yourself.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What does “new and unexpected” look like to me? How could I generate change without discounting input from others? Could I allow myself to be with what I see, without acting impulsively or erratically to force change?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As\u00a0Jupiter moves into the last degree of\u00a0Libra, it’s energy becomes more exalted; it is getting ready to leave this sign of balance, equality and justice. You could say it is about to have its last hurrah in “maybe this, maybe that?\u201d Libra,\u00a0before it moves into all-or-nothing Scorpio on\u00a0Oct. 10th for a little over a year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We will address Jupiter’s journey through Scorpio in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 6th. Feel free to join us; I especially recommend it if you have Scorpio or Sagittarius as your Sun, Moon or Rising-sign.\u00a0To register now, click here\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To sum it all up for this Full Moon: We are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth process, in which we are asked to release all that is holding us back\u2026 This means dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, addictions and negative habits, thought patterns — and possessions that take up too much of our time, effort and sense of inner abundance.\u00a0As best as you can, see this an an opportunity; allow, rather than resist \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And if nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality\u2026\u00a0not always an easy feat…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the irony and paradox of “life”. And, as best as you can, take responsibility for your thought forms, remain curious\u00a0and\u00a0nurture yourself, dig deeper to truly understand your own emotional needs, so you can connect to others and yourself from a place of strength and autonomy. For more details on this powerful Full Moon,\u00a0click here and watch my video on the subject<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 10-15 degrees of\u00a0Aries, Libra, Capricorn\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer\u00a0(the personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Friday (October 6th):\u00a0the Moon remains in\u00a0pioneering, fast-paced\u00a0Ariesuntil 7:56pm EDT\u00a0(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Friday afternoon,\u00a0a somewhat challenging Mercury\/Neptune aspectbecomes exact at 1:44pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Saturday.\u00a0This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of “awkward” — and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What’s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Note that I say “overlap”: Don’t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn’t make sense\u2026 and it doesn’t — it can’t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to “hang out” with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a011-13 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces\u00a0(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Friday at 6:38pm EDT,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for almost 1.5 hours,\u00a0until 7:56pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to balance asserting your unique spark with your desire to collaborate. 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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Friday at 7:56pm EDT,\u00a0the Moon moves\u00a0into steady, peaceful\u00a0Taurus, where it will be\u00a0until Sunday late evening.\u00a0We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Saturday (October 7th):\u00a0the Moon remains in\u00a0steady, peaceful\u00a0Taurus\u00a0all day\u00a0(see Friday evening for details).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Saturdayafternoon,\u00a0we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On\u00a0Saturday evening,\u00a0we 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. How might a balance mental and physical approach support us right now?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sunday (October 8th):\u00a0the Moon remains in\u00a0steady, peacefulT aurus\u00a0until 9:44pm EDT\u00a0(see Friday evening for details).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sunday morning,\u00a0a challenging Venus\/Saturn aspectbecomes exact at 8:54am EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Thursday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct. 10th).\u00a0It\u00a0asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we’ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point —\u00a0a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the one hand, we want to improve our relationships in a very practical way, thinking our way through things in detail. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore \u201cthe larger truth\u201d about ourselves and others \u2014 to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now — and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship.\u00a0Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it. The key is to approach things with an open heart, clarity and\u00a0maturity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rigidity or pushing doesn’t usually get us what we want: Sometimes, it\u2019s better to go one step at a time; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in\u00a019-26 degreesof\u00a0Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sunday at 9:45am EDT,\u00a0we enter a\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for 12 hours,\u00a0until 9:44pm EDT.\u00a0Use this intuitive time to connect with others in earthly ways and support each other with practical issues.\u00a0As 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 Sunday all day ahead of time \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sunday late afternoon,\u00a0a Sun\/Mercury alignmentin almost 16 degrees of\u00a0Libra\u00a0becomes exact at 4:54pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until next week Thursday (Oct 12th).\u00a0This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Given that this alignment takes place in Libra, we may be particularly indecisive — do your best to not get stuck out of a need for justice, fairness, or social harmony.<\/p>\n
We want an active role in communications — it’s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?<\/p>\n
Our opinions are strong and our thinking independent — and we’re proud of both — our egos may therefore get bruised if we don’t feel “heard”. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that’s ok.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a013-19 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Libra, Aries, Cancer\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn?\u00a0If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo, Gemini\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sunday at 9:44pm EDT,\u00a0the Moon moves into chatty, versatile\u00a0Gemini,\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until this Tuesday late evening.\u00a0For 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 \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
**************<\/div>\n
A head’s up for next\u00a0Monday (Oct. 9th):\u00a0The Moon remains in chatty, versatile\u00a0Geminiall day\u00a0(see Sunday evening for details).\u00a0Monday morning,\u00a0a challenging Mercury\/Pluto aspectbecomes exact at 8:26am EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Saturday on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday.Monday evening,\u00a0a challenging Sun\/Pluto aspectbecomes exact at 8:12pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Thursday.More about all the details in next week\u2019s forecast \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
