This is a busy week, loaded with cosmic events and two planets changing signs, so prepare to surf the energetic waves as the days unfold. Be aware and flexible, moving deliberately while extending grace to your Self and others, as issues around power and drive are on the front burner.
Oct 11 – Pluto Stations (a stillpoint) to turn Direct at 29o Capricorn through Nov 19, as it continues clearing outdated, irrelevant or shaky structures to prepare for the futuristic Aquarian path. We are still in the Eclipse Wormhole (a short distance between vastly different realities) through Nov 1, and dramatic events are still possible (weather issues, Solar flares, Northern Lights in unusual places, attacks, the unexpected).
Pluto instigates death and rebirth, so following any deconstruction or let-go and the subsequent void, is a rebirth and a new evolving creation. If your strength is tested, you will discover that you’re stronger than you realized – and whatever you endure will ultimately transform your Being, ultimately making you stronger and wiser.
Oct 12 – Jupiter sextile Chiron. Jupiter has been moving in tandem with Chiron since late Sept and it will continue thru late Nov, but it is exact today. This supports healing, growth and integration, new visions that nourish your spirit, potential upliftment and releasing limiting beliefs. Yes you can! Make the most of this energy by reviewing what you think limits your life and then seeking your healing.
Oct 13 – Lots going on today – I’ll break it down.
Mercury square Pluto. Deep conversations or conflict in exchanges, maybe under pressure secrets are revealed, a probing inquiry that unearths game-changing info, intense persuasion or a healing breakthrough (awakening, insight). Think twice about who you connect with and what conversations you are having today – they may turn out to be more serious that you plan for.
Mercury in Scorpio. Mercury wants info, and Scorpio wants to know what is real and it will dig (CSI) to find the hidden info, agendas and actions. Small talk is boring for Mercury in Scorpio – it wants substance and depth, with exchanges that cut through the mask and go beneath the surface.
This is great for healing work, accessing unconscious issues, research, detective work and transforming old thought patterns if you commit to doing the work. Also, Mercury in Scorpio wants to know all about others, but won’t share their deepest secrets or be vulnerable unless they are evolved – and even then, they are highly judicious about who they share what with. Just so you know… there may be secrets
Mars square Chiron. You may feel like you can’t get what you want or your anger is triggered with no healthy way to express it. Some old pattern may surface regarding aggression, your actions, anger or feeling ineffectual. If you are triggered today, focus on what you need in that moment and then find a way to get what you need. You may also experience a bump, bruise, cut or other injury to a body part that’s calling for attention. Be attuned to your Self with compassion.
Sun opposite Chiron. An old pattern may be triggered that speaks to your self-esteem, creativity or self-expression. What has come up again? Perhaps its something you have
healed and you now help others with this experience. Again, the guidance is to have compassion for yourself and others, as you attune to your inner needs and getting them
met. Think about what you are being shown that is for your growth and evolution. Sun trine Jupiter. Later, you may feel positive and optimistic, willing to stretch and take a
risk to do something beyond your usual boundaries. Or you feel expansive, open to a new perspective with a vision of hope for the future. A new opportunity can manifest, just like that. However this lands for you, it is a pick-me-up that can lift your spirits in the midst of rapidly shifting energies back to back.
Oct 14 – This is a challenging day energetically because of the aspects – and we’re approaching a Full SuperMoon which elevates emotions. While you can take accomplish
goals, the setup for triggers is so great, you’re best to be very conscious of your actions and what you say. Slower is better, as this is fast energy – impulsive and reactive.
Sun square Mars. This is driven, impatient, aggressive energy focused on getting what it wants. It is ripe for arguments, conflicts and ego assertions, as touchiness is in the air. If there’s something you want to accomplish, direct that drive into your work and if you interact with others, stay mindful of the edgy undercurrent and easy does it…
Venus opposite Uranus. Now you may be confronted with something unexpected from a partner, a close friend or family member, that affects what you value – your heart, $$, or the material world. A partner may want more space, have a sudden change of attitude or some other blindside – or maybe it’s you. You may want to take a risk with $$, make an impulsive purchase or you may meet someone who rocks your world (in a good way!). If you connect with a new potential love match – it may be exciting, but may not be lasting.
Oct 15 – Venus opposite Neptune. This dreamy vibe softens the atmosphere, calling for rest, relaxation and sweet connections that soothe your soul. Spiritual practices, creative projects – either witnessing or creating – and nature will fill your inner world with much needed “yin” energy, as well as snuggling with pets, children or your loved one (or all of them!).
Reminder: Neptune-Venus creates illusions that can lead you astray if you see through rose-colored glasses without critical thinking. Go slowly and don’t make major decisions today. Use the 24-hour rule (see if you still feel the same way tomorrow).
Oct 17 – Another day of layered activity, led by a most intense Full SuperMoon at 25o Aries at 4:26am PDT.
The Full SuperMoon is very close to earth, heightening emotional energy – with the Moon conjunct Chiron, the Wounded Healer archetype, its a tender area of primal wounding (unmet needs, feelings). The Moon also conjuncts Eris (Dwarf planet of chaos), adding to the intensity and demanding to be acknowledged.
The Moon in Aries is the maverick, pioneer, warrior, and with this energy, you want it YOUR way. The Sun is in Libra, the other-oriented sign of peace, harmony, balance and beauty -the mirror who seeks compromise, connection and loves a win-win (Libra’s dream come true!).
Whatever you’re attracting that you don’t like is mirroring back to you a part of your Self that’s unconscious, and you’ve called it in to awaken you. Pluto is squaring the Full Moon, so if people or elements of life feel oppressive, check in with yourself.
Have you given up your power and called in a bully or manipulator to reflect that? Or are you the dominant player? These are two sides of the coin and Pluto can bring power
struggles to show you if you’re out of balance. If you’re confronted with this energy, go
within to discern what part you are playing in this drama.
You may discover that you are operating in ways that surprise or even horrify you – not at all what you intended – but don’t resist the information. Awareness provides you with the opportunity to heal shadow energy – and please seek help to shift or integrate it if you can’t do it yourself.
Mars (Ruler of the Full Moon in Aries) is in its Shadow and will retrace this area of your life in Jan and late April ’25 after it turns Retrograde in Dec, so whatever happens now is not final yet.
Mars is in an ever-tightening opposition with Pluto, an aspect that can activate wounds and volatile eruptions – or in its higher expression, can access tremendous strength and power to make things happen. With Pluto in Capricorn, watch for war-like conflicts on the global stage. In your life, tread carefully and focus on deliberate actions rather than reacting to the world drama. It will unfold without you.
Mars squares the Sun, Moon, Chiron, Eris and opposes Pluto, activating unhealed energies for your awareness. If you want to know what to focus on for your growth and evolution, you may get a clear signal this week. Also, expect truths to be exposed, as well as hidden agendas, as those in power positions will have the curtains pulled back to expose a reality many have not been aware of.
Venus is sextile Pluto in the Full SuperMoon setup, craving deep connection, passion and the potential for a breakthrough if healing is on the menu. Venus is in Scorpio (deep) with Pluto (deep, deep!) – and in cooperation, you can bond intensely with another whom you trust and access unconscious spaces within yourself. A little relief during a combustible setup.
Venus enters Sagittarius. This Venus is upbeat, fun-loving and needs freedom to move and follow its joy. It is upbeat, independent and open-minded, seeking people and experiences that fuel its growth and evolution. This lightens things up a bit, so tap into possibilities and follow your heart and Inner Guidance for your next steps.
It will be an action-packed week – busy, intense, with shifting waves of various energies that will potentially challenge and awaken you. You decide how it goes. If you encounter a challenge, transform it and awaken your Self to what you weren’t aware of before. Don’t let your ego get in the way. Take this opportunity to heal, release, align or integrate (make whole) any outliers or areas calling for your attention.
Shine your Light, lend a hand where you can and stay high. We need it and we need You! We are all precious and here to evolve and move toward the One Love that we know is possible.
It is a soul mission to do your part and hold that space, even when other forces try to keep us separate. Don’t give up!
