Although big picture Jupiter Stations Retrograde (appears to stand still) on Oct 9, it only moves one degree all month, so the whole month is like a Jupiter Station. The invitation is to review your evolving beliefs, ideals and vision for yourself to see if they align with your current trajectory. This is a time for honest inquiry and introspection. It’s a real opportunity to take responsibility for any misalignments and the limits you place on your Self and your life due to old programs, societal pressures and ego fears that pretend to keep you safe, but only keep you stuck or stagnant.
Oct 4 – Venus trine Saturn. This goes to commitments, security ($$ and/or emotional), what you can count on, agreements, shared values that support stability, monetizing creativity and making plans or proposals. This is grounded energy that promotes well being for the long term.
Oct 6 – Mercury square Mars. Mercury is in logical, polite Libra and Mars is in emotional Cancer, potentially creating friction in decision-making if you feel pushed, pressured or attacked. Then you may be annoyed or angry. If you are a sensitive type (or if you’re dealing with one), tread carefully today, as this is prickly energy that can push buttons.
Make nice and speak nicely – or hold your tongue and think it through before you write the email, make the call or say something critical. And if you (or another) is triggered, the real question is: “What do you need right now?” If you can discern what you/they need – and get the need met, it is the antidote for your/their anger.
Oct 8 – A triple play today: Venus trine Mars, Mercury trine Jupiter and Mercury opposite Chiron.
Venus trine Mars. This is creative and passionate energy, yin and yang in harmony, which can be social, but with Venus in Scorpio and Mars in Cancer (both emotional), choose your company wisely so you will feel comfortable and safe.
Mercury trine Jupiter. This brings optimism, positive thinking, good news, bright ideas, great for making smart plans that serve you well. This is great for connecting with others, networking, socializing and looking for opportunities. Venus and Mars brings feeling energy, whereas Mercury in Libra and Jupiter in Gemini brings intellectual, rational energy and together, you have a winning hand for engaging on multiple levels. Wow.
Mercury opposite Chiron. An old wound may be triggered around communication, a negative belief about your intellect, education or limitation you believe is true about you – and this is an opportunity to go beyond the “story” and witness what you tell your Self that pulls you down. You can question (is it true?) or reframe the old story or anything that comes up so it no longer rules your beliefs about your Self. Get help with this if you need it – it will be so worth it! Integrate the false beliefs you use to keep you small.
Oct 9, ’24 – Feb 4, 2025. Jupiter Station Retrograde. During it’s Retrograde path, it is traveling in a harmonious sextile with Chiron until mid-Nov. This supports you in your healing, growth and integration IF you are willing to do the work necessary to explore where you are blocking yourself and creating limitations, consciously or unconsciously. It may be by holding on to something outdated, resistance to moving forward or by operating in old patterns and beliefs that keep you locked into the family myth of who you are.
There are so many modalities and ways to go within and find buried treasure that you don’t know is there! And yes, locating blocked energy is like finding gold, because when you go in there, info and gifts are revealed that will help to set you free. Choose a practice, such as journaling, intention-setting, gratitude or meditation (or all of them) to do a daily check in with yourself to see where you are if you need a starting point. Follow your inner guidance and ask for help if you need it. It will serve you well.
Oct 11 – Nov 19. Pluto Stations Direct in Capricorn for the final time – EVER – in our lifetime. It’s been sitting at 27º Capricorn for a few weeks, where it will stay until Nov, radiating the Plutonic energy of upheaval and power plays that we will likely continue to see in the world. You will feel Pluto all week, but I’ll say more about it next week…
It is imperative that you observe, rather than absorb any drama or chaos you witness, near or far, in order to be stable, of maximum presence, effectiveness and service. Make it your practice to stay in the present moment and be discerning regarding what and who you allow into your space.
You are here now on purpose, ready and able to participate in this momentous changing of the guard, as Pluto prepares to leave Capricorn for good and we enter Pluto in Aquarius on Nov 19, 2024. We’re closing out an old chapter for good and creating what’s next with our every thought and action.
