This week’s astrology forecast:

October 5th – 11th

 Message for the week:

 A very complex start to the week with the ongoing Venus retrograde in Scorpio in a T-square with the Mars/Pluto opposition going on in the background. Complex, because Scorpio is the most complex sign of the zodiac, ranging from mistrust stemming from previous wounds, sexuality, shared resources, and transformational intimacy. Venus, being retrograde, can bring up buried wounds from the past concerning love or money (Venus). This can have a devastating (Mars opposite Pluto) influence on your current relationships, unless one is able to face the hard truth of the shadow-side of their character and transform it through deep forgiveness work with self and others.

Lesson for the week: The redemptive power of forgiveness to keep an open heart.

There is also a Mercury/Venus conjunction, which would normally sweeten the mind with romantic thoughts, however, this pulls Mercury into the complexities of the ongoing T-square, driving the mind to uncover any hidden truths.

The shadowy energy begins to dissipate by Wednesday, when Mars is sextile to evolutionary Uranus, and the path forward becomes clearer and more enticing.  The New Moon in Libra on Saturday offers more than a respite from whatever has been troubling you—Libra has the ability to pull out of the emotional realm to see things more objectively and the New Moon offers a fresh start in your relationships with a greater ability and interest in finding the harmonious, cooperative path forward.

Monday, 10/5: A bumpy start to a smooth and enjoyable day, with the Moon in Leo in an irritating square to the Mercury/Venus conjunction in the early morning. Leo’s upbeat energy returns as soon as you get going with the Moon moving into a flowing trine with “taking care of business” Saturn and in a stimulating sextile to the energizing Sun.

Tuesday, 10/6: You may wake up extra early this morning with creative enthusiasm when the Moon in Leo conjuncts opportunity-laden Jupiter. Mercury is conjunct magnetic Venus, adding a flirtatious vibe to communications. The Moon moves into a trine to Chiron, offering healing opportunities and then the Moon moves into Virgo this evening, stimulating the desire to get things back to normal.

Wednesday, 10/7: You may have to deal with something unexpected to start the day when the Moon is in Virgo and square to unpredictable Uranus in the early morning. However, the day becomes peacefully smooth with the Moon moving into a stimulating sextile to the Mercury/Venus conjunction, enhancing all communications. Mars is sextile to Uranus today, activating applicable intuition—start a project and your intuition will guide to the solutions.

Thursday, 10/8: Imagine a day that you have somethings that you would like to accomplish and there are no interferences. Today could be such a day with the Moon in task-oriented Virgo with no aspects. Health and fitness activities are also favored as well as generally tidying up everything in your life.

Friday, 10/9: The Moon enters Libra today opposite dreamy Neptune in the early morning—hit the snooze button if you are in a delicious dream. The Moon forms a grand trine in the air signs with Pluto and Uranus, favoring all learning mental activities as well as all cooperative endeavors. The Moon also forms a stimulating sextile to Mars, bolstering confidence and courage. The Moon does oppose restrictive Saturn tonight—know when enough is enough for the day and pack it in.

Saturday, 10/10: A day for fresh starts and new beginnings, particularly in relationships with the New Moon in Libra occurring this morning at 8:50 AM PDT. Opportunities for forward movement will be available with the Moon moving into a sextile to fortunate Jupiter this afternoon. Venus is square to Mars, creating conflict between what you want and how you go about getting it—think before you act in relationships today.

Sunday, 10/11: The Moon enters investigative Scorpio this morning, making one move sensitive to hidden clues and innuendos. A square to Pluto this afternoon brings hidden issues to light, with the Moon then conjuncting Venus and square to Mars, awakening strong desire and the “urge to merge”. With quincunxes to Neptune and Uranus, it is best to stay away from thinking about things outside of your control—it just drains energy.

May the stars be with you!
