I believe that the entire universe is in a giant conspiracy for our ultimate well-being, if we can listen to its promptings. All of my work and writings are aimed at helping you listen to this inner guidance.

This week’s astrology forecast:

Oct 13th – 19th

Message for the week:

Venus, the goddess of love, art and beauty, is the featured planet this week, moving into its strongest sign, peace-seeking Libra. This bodes well for peace negotiations, globally and in our personal lives. Just as Venus enters Libra, it forms a “kite” pattern with the outer planets, being opposite Saturn and Neptune and in a Grand Trine with Uranus and Pluto. The opposition to the Saturn/Neptune conjunction brings in tension, and the Grand Trine provides the potential to resolve difficulties and move into balance and harmony.

The Saturn/Neptune conjunction is the apex of the kite and where the work must be done to soar above the battering winds. Neptune is our ideals and Saturn is the crushing reality dampening these ideals. Can you hold onto your ideals in the face of a reality that doesn’t support your idealism? Or will you allow Saturn to crush your visions?

Venus is the focal point, being the tail of the kite and where you must be centered for the kite to fly. Being in balance-seeking Libra, the call is to stay balanced within yourself while finding the common ground with others.

 A week to maintain unswerving commitment to your idealistic image of how you want to be in your relationships.

Monday: Venus enters its strongest sign Libra today, forming a potentially favorable “kite” pattern with the three outer planets—hold onto your idealism and maintain balance in your interactions with others Pluto is turning direct today, bringing issues that have been percolating beneath the surface into conscious awareness. The Moon is in caring Cancer square to the Sun this morning, triggering a tendency to overfocus on pleasing others. The Moon then moves into a conjunction with abundant Jupiter and trine to Saturn tonight—focus on where life feels bountiful and stable.  

Tuesday: A stellar day for love, romance, and partnerships with Venus in a Grand Trine to Uranus and Pluto. You may wake up with a bit of a foreboding feeling with the Moon opposite Pluto in the early morning, but a heartful, rather playful day unfolds with the Moon in high spirited Leo with no aspects throughout the day. A good day to proceed with confidence and to let your light shine.

Wednesday: The Moon starts the day in “play big” Leo in a frustrating square to the Mars/Mercury conjuction in the morning, aarrgh! It is like running out of coffee or a traffic jam, but a smooth and harmonious day unfolds. The day improves considerably, with the Moon moving into a stimulating sextile to the energizing Sun in Libra, enhancing all relationships with a heartful surge of energy.

Thursday: The Sun is square to Jupiter today, stimulating excessive expectations—stay mindful of this before saying “yes” to more, more, and more. The Moon starts the day in heartful, high-spirited Leo moving into pragmatic, down to earth Virgo midday—time to get to work. You may have to deal with something unexpected this afternoon, when the Moon squares “the wild card” Uranus.

Friday: A smooth day for settling into the tasks and projects in front of you with the Moon in effective, efficient Virgo with no disrupting aspects throughout the day. A good day for getting some work done. This productive energy continues into the evening when the Moon forms a stimulating sextile to the Mercury/Mars conjunction, making it hard to quit working while you are getting so much done.

Saturday: The Moon is in task-oriented Virgo sextile to uplifting Jupiter this morning, creating a “whistle while you work” attitude while tending to weekend chores. You will probably feel like you have had enough of all that this afternoon, when the Moon is opposite oppressive Saturn—time to set it down. You may feel like getting together with others tonight, when the Moon enters socially-interested Libra, forming the kite pattern with the three outer planets—stay balanced within yourself and let the winds of time and circumstance carry you where they will.

Sunday: Ahh! Love and romance are in the air, with the Moon in relationship-oriented Libra conjunct romantic Venus, and Mercury (the mind) is drawn towards passion, being conjunct Mars in intimacy seeking Scorpio. This is a day to enjoy and find pleasure in whatever that means to you—art, beauty, music, good food, or good company—what’s not to enjoy, right?

May the stars be with you!
