This week’s astrology forecast:
October 20th – 26th
Message for the week:
We are in the strangest of times astrologically—the world situation is tense and volatile, creating background anxiety and a foreboding anticipation of uncertainty. And yet, we have been in a period graced with a Grand Trine in the Air signs (mental) for the last few weeks and are moving into a period with a Grand Trine in the Water signs (emotional) for the next few weeks. The Grand Trine is known for maximum harmony. Go figure. The outer world is in a state of chaos and volatility, creating anxiety and uncertainty, yet harmony and growth in consciousness are available in the inner world.
If you approach life outside-in, looking for conditions in the world for your measure of well-being, you are probably a mess. If you approach life inside-out, looking for your measure of well-being within yourself, regardless of what is going on in the world, tremendous growth in consciousness is available.
Saturn and Neptune retrograding back into Pisces call for us to be more emotionally mature—we have been through this before. Pisces is your inner world of your thoughts and feelings and Saturn calls for being more disciplined in how you manage your inner psyche. How skilled are you at managing your inner world, which is immense with Neptune’s influence?
There is a New Moon (time for new beginnings) in Libra (relationships) on Tuesday—time for a fresh start in the way you interact with others. Libra values kindness, civility, and finding common ground with others—a good chance to share a better version of yourself. If you want to take the edge off things this week, practice kindness, it releases the feel-good hormones in the body.
“If the world is filled with infinite possibilities, why not choose a good one.” Michael Beckwith
Monday: The Moon is in balance-seeking Libra today, benefitting relationships and all cooperative endeavors—with its only aspect being a square to Jupiter this evening. Jupiter inflates and magnifies and can lead to people pleasing and going too far to please another—not such a big crime. Mercury is still conjunct with Mars in Scorpio and won’t avoid hard truths—excellent for research and investigation and making shrewd financial decisions.
Tuesday: The New Moon in Libra occurs at 5:25 AM PDT this morning, a time for fresh beginnings in your interactions with others. Your resolve for living in greater harmony with others gets immediately tested as the Moon then enters “the cosmic bullshit detector” Scorpio in a square with shadowy Pluto, awakening a desire to purge yourself of whatever is no longer serving you.
Wednesday: You may feel rather introspective today, with emotions running strong as the Sun enters deep feeling Scorpio joining the Moon and awakening a strong desire for greater depth in your interaction with close others. Neptune has also retrograded back into spiritually attuned Pisces, giving greater access to your higher mind for guidance.
Thursday: A good day for financial and business dealings, as well as deep interactions with others with the Moon in intimacy seeking, shrewd Scorpio conjunct Mercury and in a beneficial trine to fortunate Jupiter this morning. The Moon stays in harmonious aspects throughout the day and moves into fiery Sagittarius later tonight and opposes Uranus, stimulating a drive for some excitement.
Friday: There is a “heads up” today with the Sun in an agitating square to shadowy Pluto, bringing something uncomfortable that had been hidden into the light. Realize that whatever you have become aware of has been going on anyway—better to be aware of it than not. There is a great deal of positive energy available today with Mercury (the mind) trine to expansive and optimistic Jupiter. Also, the Moon in enthusiastic Sagittarius with no aspects, adds to the upbeat energy available for the day.
Saturday: A sweet and harmonious day in the heavens with the Moon in playful Sagittarius in harmony with lovely Venus, while Mercury is also trine to clarifying Saturn. Relationships from friendships to romantic are favored with this surge of positive and clarifying energy.
Sunday: You can expect a bit of confusion or brain fog in the early morning that clears as the day gets going. The Moon is in Sagittarius square to the Saturn/Neptune conjunction in the early morning, creating the fog. Clarity returns mid-morning as the Moon enters “I know what needs to be done” Capricorn mid-morning in a sextile to the energizing Sun. A good day for taking care of weekend chores with this productive energy.
May the stars be with you!
