This week’s headline items:\u00a0<\/strong>Pluto and Saturn remain exalted all week due to their stationing; the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact very late on Tuesday evening; on Thursday, Jupiter\u2019s Station in Aquarius intensifies and Mercury begins its Station phase in Libra. Mercury\u2019s Station intensifies on Saturday night\/Sunday very early morning. Jupiter comes to a halt, ending it’s 4-month Retrograde phase, on Sunday night.<\/p>\nThere will be four\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 13 hours); Wednesday morning (for almost 10 hours); Friday morning (for almost 14 hours), and Sunday evening (for 10.5 hours)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Conversation about the Mercury Retrograde phase<\/em> with the lovely Lia Pelusi<\/strong> (a certified Soul-Based Astrologer<\/strong>). We connected last week, chatted about Astrology in general, and got into details on the current Mercury Retrograde in Libra<\/strong><\/em> — how it has been impacting us, and where the value lies in a Retrograde phase.<\/p>\n ==> Feel free to join us<\/strong> for this lovely conversation and introduction of Lia!<\/a><\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking<\/em> Sagittarius<\/em> until 1:15pm EDT. Until then, <\/strong>we’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.<\/p>\n We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, this means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.<\/p>\n As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.<\/p>\n Since Pluto<\/em> and Saturn are<\/em> still exalted all week<\/em>, feel free to read more<\/strong> about those Station phases in this blog from Sept. 27th – Oct. 4th<\/a>, and last week’s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n Or, check out my webinar<\/strong> where\u00a0we discussed the Pluto & Saturn Station Direct phases in\u00a0<\/i>Capricorn <\/i><\/b>and Aquarius<\/i><\/b>, and how all of this looks in relation to our own Birth charts.

You may also want to plan Monday very early morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Monday at 1:15pm EDT, <\/strong>the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented<\/em> Capricorn,<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon. <\/strong>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<\/p>\n Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals.\u00a0Our reputation becomes very important to us.<\/p>\n As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Saturn is the ruler of\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong> — and\u00a0it is transiting through Aquarius<\/strong> making this a great time to take a look at our visions for humanity, and at anything we would like to accomplish long-term within our communities (locally or online).<\/p>\n It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our various networks and connections to like-minded people;\u00a0as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations: Do they truly resonate with your personal vision for the future — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago?<\/p>\n Does participation in those groups or networks align with who you are now, and with where you see yourself 5 years from now? What do you truly want to commit yourself to?\u00a0This Moon placement starts the build up towards…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? <\/strong>Scroll down & keep reading (make sure you are logged into your\u00a0Member’s account<\/a>)!<\/p>\n GET IT ALL!

We started to feel this aspect build from Monday very early morning on<\/strong>; and it will remain strong until Wednesday very early morning. <\/strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we\u2019re to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n It could be hard to make decisions under this influence, as we tend to doubt our perceptions or our problem-solving ability. It may also be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate, leading to misunderstandings: we tend to feel uncomfortable — a sort of “inner itchiness”.<\/p>\n As best you can, give yourself time to respond, allow your breath to ground you — and empower yourself and others by coming from love rather than fear — after all, at this moment (if you stay out of memory and away from concepts and imaginary futures), aren’t you actually ok?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-15 degrees of Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>? 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<\/strong>, or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday very late evening, at 11:25pm EDT, <\/strong>the first Quarter Moon in 20<\/em>\u00ba of Capricorn<\/strong> <\/em>becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Capricorn, on Monday afternoon.<\/strong>\u00a0The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in balance-seeking, relationship-oriented\u00a0Libra<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n We feel compelled to take action. Last week,\u00a0on Oct. 6th<\/strong>, the New Moon in Libra<\/strong> became exact: “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.<\/p>\n As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of\u00a0Capricorn, Libra, Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented<\/em> Capricorn<\/em> until 4:47pm EDT <\/strong>(see Monday early afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday morning<\/strong>, at 6:53am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 10 hours, until 4:47pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term successes. We might get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, 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 morning until late afternoon ahead of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Wednesday late afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 3:26pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on<\/strong>; and it will remain strong until Friday evening.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, our 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.<\/p>\n On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. 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.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Sagittarius, Aquarius, Aries <\/strong>or Libra? <\/strong>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra <\/strong>or Capricorn\u00a0<\/strong>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/em>.<\/p>\n Wednesday, at 4:47pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into <\/em>freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong>, where it will journey until Friday late evening<\/strong>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.<\/p>\n Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius<\/strong>. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space \ud83d\ude42 Personal freedom becomes paramount.<\/p>\n Wednesday late evening<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Sun\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:32pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday late evening on<\/strong>; and it will remain strong until Thursday late evening. <\/strong>This 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.<\/p>\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 takes a hit.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\n Do you have your Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-22 degrees of Libra<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong>? 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 Leo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (the Sun rules of Leo; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday, <\/strong>the Moon remains<\/em> in <\/em>freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> all day <\/strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).<\/em><\/p>\n The\u00a0Jupiter Station intensifies <\/em>today (Thursday<\/strong>), as it is preparing to come to a halt next week, Saturday<\/strong> (after having been retrograde for the past 4 months). This intensified station will last until Oct. 21st.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet’s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is also the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). It is also associated with our sense of humor, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy.<\/p>\n We have been connecting internally to our wisdom and ability to grow for the past four months.\u00a0<\/strong>What did you discover about your ability to learn and grow since June 20th? Do you have a better understanding of your own inner wisdom and how to access it? How could those discoveries change how you interact with your various networks?<\/p>\n Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendant) in 20-25 degrees of Aquarius,\u00a0Leo, Taurus <\/i><\/strong>or<\/i>\u00a0Scorpio\u00a0<\/i><\/strong>will be more affected by this Jupiter station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius<\/strong> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects).<\/em><\/p>\n Also, on Thursday<\/strong>, Mercury starts to slow down again<\/em> (\u201cstationing\u201d). As Jupiter, Mercury is also getting ready to come to a halt —\u00a0ending its 3-week Retrograde phase<\/em>, on\u00a0Monday of next week, on Oct. 18th (more on that next week\u2026). The Station phase will last until Oct. 23rd <\/strong>in 10-11 degrees of Libra.<\/strong><\/p>\n For the next 9 days<\/strong> (until Oct. 23rd), we need to be patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.<\/p>\n Our inner monologue gains in intensity where the following are concerned: the relationship between our personal masculine and feminine, the amount of approval we seek from others or from ourselves, our ability to create balance in our lives, and around \u201cjust\u201d or fair collaborations with others.<\/p>\n We are invited to hang out with any discomfort that we might feel around self-value and\/or our one-on-one relationships.<\/p>\n We might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere — especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades,\u00a0click here<\/a>)<\/p>\n Feel free to watch my chat with Lia about the Mercury Retrograde phase in Libra<\/strong><\/a>: We connected last week and chatted about how this has been impacting us and what the value is of a Retrograde phase…<\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 8-13 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer <\/strong>or\u00a0<\/em>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Friday, <\/strong>the Moon remains<\/em> in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> until 10:22pm EDT <\/strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Sun\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 7:46am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on<\/strong>; and it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening<\/strong> (Oct. 18th). This is\u00a0an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?<\/p>\n Optimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide \u2014 and as best as you can, let yourself be creative and free. Allow for different points of view to co-exist, embrace yourself as a social being, and remember: without a sense of community or relationships, we cannot thrive as humans.<\/p>\n Do you have your\u00a0Ascendant, Career Point<\/strong>\u00a0(or personal planets) in 20-22 degrees of\u00a0Libra,\u00a0Aquarius <\/strong>or Gemini<\/strong>? 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\u00a0Leo\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Also on Friday morning<\/strong>, at 8:33am EDT<\/strong>,\u00a0\u00a0we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, until 10:22pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to\u00a0feel a flow and support towards socializing and connecting with others. Great ideas and concepts can be collaborated on right now.<\/p>\nBefore we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:<\/h3>\n
