Venus is in the final degrees of orderly Virgo this weekend, preparing to move into its home sign (and happy place)—of harmonious Libra on Monday, but it aspects the transpersonal planets throughout the week that will color its expression and your experience. Notice your Venus experience as it connects with a network that is beyond the beyond…

Oct 11 – Venus opposite Saturn. Because Venus rules relationships, $$, worthiness, values, creativity and what makes life worth living, you may encounter an obstacle or limitation today. This is about decision-making, and if you hit a bump, you may have to consider whether it’s worth your time, energy and/or $$. Shaky relationships may feel the strain. 

Where do you need to create restraint, take care of business or get real regarding Venus issues? What comes up today (if anything) will give you the message. Do the work, make a decision, face reality and adjust as necessary, or if you wait a few days the Venus energy will shift dramatically. Then you can reassess and act accordingly. 

Oct 13-Nov 6 – Venus in Libra. This is relationship-oriented energy, seeking beauty, peace and balance; the diplomat and negotiator who harmonizes the environment, always with an eye on the other. Radiating peace from within (as opposed to being in reaction to external cues), is a high level expression of Venus in Libra. Think of affecting an environment by BEING what you desire. 

Venus in Libra is strategic, fair and can be a shrewd dealmaker, so focus on your heart’s desires and how you can create via a “win-win” scenario. What if everyone can win? Maybe let that be an intention…

Oct 13 – Venus opposite Neptune. Venus-Neptune create the spine of a Kite pattern; a dynamic opposition contained within a flowing Grand Trine in Air (Venus in Libra, Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini). This goes to connections, shared info and innovative seeds being planted and germinating in the ethers, to appear later. This fertile, creative energy is working its magic beyond what our human minds can grasp or comprehend yet. The future is being created now in the unseen, moment by moment. 

On a personal level, Venus opposite Neptune can allow space to focus on a dream, spiritual practices, a vision or your heart’s desire. It can also create confusion, disillusionment, idealizing others or being suggestible. Let yourself play in consciousness and stretch beyond the boundaries of your mind to explore your visions. Discover what’s in there—if it’s in your consciousness, there’s a message for you. 

Oct 13 – Pluto Stations Direct. Pluto has been Retrograde in Aquarius since May ’25, retracing its steps and now it stops to turn Direct. This is peak intensity when Plutonian energy reverberates, as what’s hidden is revealed, life and death issues are highlighted and power plays and control is featured. Watch for heightened drama on the world stage and have faith that this is serving a greater purpose that what meets the eye. 

If Pluto is currently making a hard aspect to one of your personal planets or angles, you’ve been dealing with this for some time and you have probably faced some heavy challenges. The call is to surrender old attachments (easier said than done), followed by a path of recovery, rebuilding, recreating and a slow ascent, even if you’re trudging along. Keep going, you are stronger than you know, you are worth it and it will be worth it. 

If Pluto is making a harmonious aspect to a personal planet or angle, the experience you have depends on your alignment with your Authentic Self and your path. With Pluto, you are in the midst of a transformational process that is a sacred turning point in your life and this path will change you, stripping away what is not You – or not for you, leading to an evolved expression of You. This is how you recover the power you have given away to people, authorities, paradigms, comfort zones and whatever else applies for you. 

Oct 14 – Venus trine Uranus. This stimulating, sparkling energy is beautiful for socializing, personal relationships, dating, style makeovers, surprise $$ and excitement. Get out of a rut, do something fresh, take a walk on the wild side and liberate your Self. If an unexpected blessing appears, gratefully receive it!

Oct 14 – Venus trine Pluto. This serves deep conversations, connections and meetings with people in which you become intimate, feel a magnetic bond, create mesmerizing art or do personal breakthrough work. This is an attraction that is passionate and what it produces or reveals can be profound. Magnetic attractions are real, that can be fruitful for work, creativity, romance, close friendships and the willingness to open on a deep level. 

All this planetary energy is fertile ground for creativity, opening to new awarenesses, making connections and following what you feel drawn to. Explore. Open your heart and see where you are led.  

May the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

We are in Libra season, with the focus on relationships and others, which is really a mirror for the Self if you care (or dare) to be introspective. Mercury and Venus will be busy this week, shaping what you do and don’t want, so you can decide what to do about it. The focus will be on your values, thoughts, communications, $$, self-worth and relationships.

Oct 4 – Venus conjunct South Node in Virgo. This invites you to notice if you diminish, abandon or disrespect your Self by prioritizing the needs of others over yours as a way of life. If anything is out of balance (a pattern), this is a good time to make decisions about how to create a more honoring way of living, especially if you’re the one continuously sacrificing, rescuing and unconsciously enabling others. 

Undervaluing yourself includes $$ (undercharging, overspending as compensation) and under-appreciating your worth in general. Contemplation: what beliefs are you holding that impede how you value your Self, your relationships and affect your quality of life in an undesirable way? 

Oct 6-29 – Mercury in Scorpio. Deep is the new black with Mercury in Scorpio. This is the detective Mercury, highly intuitive and introspective, who wants the real story and will dig, seeking details and hidden agendas. Surface info won’t do; watch for game-changing info to be revealed and this is perfect for shadow work, shamanic healing, mystery traditions and other healing modalities that access the unconscious or higher realms beyond 3D.

Transformational Scorpio can take you into the underworld, but you arise with newfound wisdom that provides you with a new perspective, and you see like never before. Plus, Mercury in Scorpio with a committed focus never gives up, so if you set your intention and take aligned actions, it will lead you forward. This is soul work; just don’t put a timeline on it (ego).

Oct 6 – Full SuperMoon in Aries @ 8:48pm PDT. This fiery SuperMoon in Aries is big, brilliant and emotional—also called The Harvest Full Moon, it’s the first lunation following the Eclipses. A Full Moon can bring things to light or it can be the culmination of prior actions and decisions. Watch the energies rise as we approach the Full Moon and be mindful of your triggers. Self-care is primary. 

Aries is the maverick, the pioneer, the warrior, and this impulsive energy you wants it your way—direct, action-oriented, NOW. Libra is the other-oriented sign of peace, harmony, balance and beauty. Libra is “the mirror,” that seeks compromise, strategy and loves a win-win (a Libra dream come true!) The goal is to be able to create or get what you want while harmoniously maintaining your relationships.

The Aries-Libra axis and dynamic is independence (me) vs. the other (we). Assess how you take action and assert yourself without becoming a steamroller vs. your willingness to compromise without sacrificing your needs. See what needs adjusting, if anything, to balance your personal will and relational skills, thereby making you more effective in your life, as well as in the world. This isn’t about anyone else’s ideals; it’s about your empowered creation and connection with others.

An extreme expression of Aries is the lone wolf or solo act, never needing anyone—and extreme Libra is  codependent, always in reaction to others for cues and approval. Those are two ends of a continuum with many expressions in between, that are determined by who is involved. Notice what works for you and what doesn’t, as this is a powerful time to make needed relationship adjustments or to do your thing. 

The Aries Full Moon is ruled by Mars in powerful Scorpio. I told you about Taylor Swift with her Mars in Scorpio and how this Mars will set a goal, then plot and plan to fulfill it’s mission. It’s got staying power like no other and now it has Mercury in Scorpio on the team. Mars (actions/will) and Mercury (mind and communications) in Scorpio are covert, playing things close to the vest until they are ready to reveal what they’re planning, thinking, doing. Aries is “just do it!” but Mars in Scorpio will contain and focus the energy to be more strategic and measured, thereby making it much more powerful. Use this well!

Jupiter is squaring the Full Moon in Aries, that amplifies the energy of the Full Moon. This can create optimism and inspire you to take a leap of faith or it can manifest as over-confidence or overdoing it. If you feel ready to go, take your vision, make a plan and use the 24-hour rule (or more) before taking action to test the Jupiter hype. If it’s still there, tap into that Scorpio energy and create a strategy and look what’s next… 

Oct 7 – Mercury square Pluto. This energy is like a dog with a bone; the mind is obsessed with solving a problem, making something happen or figuring something out. You may have intense conversations that rock your world. Mercury-Pluto can show up as pressure re: info, manipulation, control, secrets, leaks or weaponized words. This already feels like daily occurrence, but some bombshell will likely come out. You can use this energy for deep exploration, research, and to focus on your Full Moon plan, but avoid conflicts, disagreements and the need to be right in any discourse. Walk away and easy does it… 

Oct 8 – Venus sextile Jupiter. This is a harmonious connection of two planets that create connection, abundance, love and blessings. Venus in Virgo can relate to service and Jupiter in Cancer is nurturing, so think of how you might bless others with your presence, companionship, care or gratitude (another Jupiter expression). This is a great day for productive conversations  when you may call in partners and expand your world to serve your path forward. At the least, appreciate the simple pleasures that make your life beautiful and abundant. 

Allow these energies to serve you well by utilizing them. Let them work for you. 

Continuing energies…

Saturn Retrograde in Pisces until mid-Feb ’26, either highlighting what needs completion, release or where there’s still work to do. Maybe you’re learning a skill, a new topic, building something or climbing a mountain of some kind, but hopefully it’s a labor of love. It usually is if you’re aligned with your path and purpose, unless you’re in the “paying your dues” phase. Nevertheless, it is leading you somewhere.

Neptune is on the World Axis (0º Aries), the beginning of the zodiac for the next month, so everything from the arts, media, imagination, collective consciousness, oceans and all forms of water, propaganda, confusion and smokescreens are possible on the world stage. Also, compassion, empathy, selfless service and unconditional love. It can express as high or low. 

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all in harmony, magically weaving a web of innovative creativity that will ultimately change the way we operate. This speaks to technology, medical advances and a myriad of futuristic solutions that will propel us forward. Again, we don’t know what we don’t know.

Jupiter (expansion) will trine Saturn (structure) from late Sept ’25 – early Jan ’26. This is very productive for moving forward by expanding your world, while still maintaining a sense of stability and security. A harmonious balance of methodical growth, which is a blessing in the midst of rapid changes. 

May the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

There are no major aspects until Oct 1, offering you space for rest, reflection and integration following the significant activity of last week. Because we’re in the Eclipse Wormhole until the New Moon in Libra on Oct 21, reality will continue to shift rapidly, creating new circumstances in the blink of an eye. This speaks to endings as well as new opportunities, so rest your nervous system to prepare for the path that awaits you.

The Solar Eclipse at 29º Virgo opposed Saturn-Neptune and the South Node, indicating endings and surrender, but with a nonlinear energy of building and deconstructing simultaneously. Let’s face it, there are so many active energies now, both creative, innovative and nonlinear, that we can’t possibly track them all. This requires faith in the bigger picture and higher path, beyond 3D drama and any attachment to old familiar structures. 

Resistance creates suffering, whereas being proactive is energizing and empowering. Even if you don’t have a vision right now, just doing the next right thing is productive. Connect with your Inner Guidance and your gifts for direction. You may not fully understand your process, but you are in process. We all are. Old structures are coming apart as new structures emerge to create a dream or even the seed of a dream. 

Neptune, the planet of illusion, rules dreams and movies. Think of your life as a movie and where are you in yours. If it’s an exciting time, oh boy! If it’s a challenging or confusing time, aren’t you curious to see how it will unfold? 

Saturn Retrograde is in Pisces until mid-Feb ’26, either highlighting what needs completion, release or where there’s still work to do. Maybe you’re learning a skill, a new topic, building something or climbing a mountain of some kind, but hopefully it’s a labor of love. It usually is if you’re aligned with your path and purpose, unless you’re in the “paying your dues” phase. Nevertheless, it is leading you somewhere.

Neptune is on the World Axis (0º Aries), the beginning of the zodiac for the next month, so everything from the arts, media, imagination, collective consciousness, oceans and all forms of water, propaganda, confusion and smokescreens (think: a Monet painting) are possible on the world stage. Also, compassion, empathy, selfless service and unconditional love. It can express as high or low. 

The media emphasizes the lows to control the masses, and social media plays that game as well, but you don’t have to play. Curate your life. Decide what and who you see and hear, so that it serves your highest good. Your heart and nervous system will thank you, as your soul leads the way. 

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all in harmony, magically weaving a web of innovative creativity that will ultimately change the way we operate. This speaks to technology, medical advances and a myriad of futuristic solutions that will propel us forward. Again, we don’t know what we don’t know.

Oct 1 – Mercury square Jupiter. We begin October with this buoyant, big picture energy of optimism and positive thinking. This works when you use it to expand your vision or stretch beyond old boundaries to seek the new. Jupiter at it’s best is visionary, inspired and enthusiastic, committed to an outcome and so positive, it will often manifest—and others will join in because they feel your vision and conviction.

This is great for teaching, learning, writing, networking and brainstorming. Or you can over-estimate or over-promise what you really can’t deliver (or don’t want to when the time comes), so be mindful of what you say. Jupiter is an upbeat energy, and the square indicates a potential issue with judgment with Jupiter involved. Again, be mindful of your thinking and communications. If you need to make sales calls, pitch a project or ask for something, this could be a good day to do it (confidence high). 

This is also very powerful for exploring your thinking to see how you might be limiting yourself—via tunnel vision, a fixed perspective or not going beyond certain parameters re: people, places, hopes and dreams. Your comfort zone can easily become a rut. Mercury square Jupiter can take you somewhere new mentally, philosophically or literally (travel). Expand and explore for renewal and growth. This is a great day to journal your vision for yourself going forward to see what comes through you.

Jupiter (expansion) will trine Saturn (structure) from late Sept ’25 – early Jan ’26. This is very productive for moving forward by expanding your world, while still maintaining a sense of stability and security. A harmonious balance of methodical growth, which is a blessing in the midst of rapid changes. 

If you’re currently creating something new, allow the energetic updraft to carry you to new heights and innovative discoveries about yourself and what’s possible. 

The dismantling in 3D are required for the world to be transformed. Do your work, do what you’re called to do and have faith that All is in Divine Order.

May the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

As we approach the Solar Eclipse at 29º Virgo on Sept 21, we are being propelled into a new reality, as events unfold rapidly with dramatic effects for the collective. If you have planets or points activated by this Eclipse, you’ll likely feel it in your personal life, yet none of us are untouched. This is a turning point that is reshaping our world; via both its purpose and its power.

Sept 19-Oct 13 – Venus is in analytical Virgo, craving order, alignment (as in Feng Shui), focusing on details, creative skills or any improvement that will enhance your quality of life. Venus in Virgo will be of service in practical ways. Relationships may be under the microscope and you may recognize a limiting pattern you want to shift, in order to create a course correction that will allow you and your relationship to evolve and grow. 

Sept 20 – Venus square Uranus. You may be at the effect of a curveball or you make an unexpected change that catches others off guard. The square indicates the abrupt nature of the change, even if you are the one making it. If you’ve felt stifled, you may have an urgent impulse to break out of a rut, a box or your usual Venusian life (relationships, style, creativity, social connections). To utilize this energy deliberately, do something to express your Authentic Self and Inner Free Spirit that will liberate you. Be proactive and see who or what you call in. 

Sept 21 – New Moon Solar Eclipse at 29º Virgo @ 12:54pm PDT. This is the 2nd New Moon in Virgo, the first being 0º Virgo on Aug 23, when a seed was planted and something began. With a Solar Eclipse on the final degree of Virgo (mastery), and with Saturn opposing the Solar Eclipse, it’s a new beginning that contains an ending or letting go. Fated events are expected, especially with this Eclipse landing on the World Axis, which creates events that attract global attention. Stay tuned…

The Mercury-ruled Virgo Sun and Moon seek efficiency and linear functioning, while Saturn in opposition can exert pressure and obstacles that create blocks, extra work or delays. If you experience this, remember it is guiding you to a higher purpose, as Saturn (restructuring) and the North Node (Destiny) in Pisces both ask you to trust in Divine Timing as you release what is complete so that you can move forward. 

This Solar Eclipse contains a kite configuration—a flowing Grand Trine in Air: Mercury in Libra, Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini—and an opposition from the New Moon and Mercury to Saturn-Neptune. The social, strategic, innovative genius available in the Grand Trine is activated by the opposition from Mercury, the Sun and Moon opposite Saturn-Neptune. 

Although it seems like you’d want to avoid the hard aspects, they create dynamic action that makes things happen, so get curious and look for opportunities when you confront a hurdle, an ending or the unknown. The oppositions invite you to channel your intuition and access your imagination for creative guidance, rather than following outside forces that seek to control you. Consider this an awakening, with profound possibilities that are available to you when you are open and available. 

Sept 22-Nov 4 – Mars in Scorpio. This is the unstoppable Mars, who gets what it wants and will go to any length to make it happen. Taylor Swift has this Mars. When she was in her 20s she tried to buy her master recordings from her former record label (she signed a bad deal as a teen). They wouldn’t sell them to her, so she re-recorded six albums, adding new elements to each—and directed her followers to only buy her new recordings. 

There’s more to the story (you can google it), but it is astounding how she outsmarted successful  businessmen—and she won! In her 20s! Nobody has ever done what she did in the history of the recording industry, and THAT is Mars in Scorpio. It it can’t get it one way, it will get it another way. And it will plot and plan and do the work to make it happen, no matter what. I still am amazed. Yes, hers is a natal planet, but still, it is a super-power.

So with Mars in Scorpio, if you have a project that requires effort and focus, this is a great time to utilize this tenacious energy that has stamina and will power. Use it for your Higher Good and use TS for inspiration if you need it!

Sept 22 – Sun enters Libra @ 11:19am PDT. The Sun crosses the World Axis at 0º Libra and this is the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are in balance as we enter Autumn in the northern hemisphere and the “we” season of other-oriented Libra, sign of peace, harmony, beauty and relationships. 

Sept 23 – Sun opposite Neptune. If you’re feeling confused, overwhelmed and extra-sensitive, take good care of yourself and bathe in nature or water (both are soothing). Your senses need TLC, so give yourself space, rest and quiet reflection, spiritual practices, creative food or whatever nourishes you. Or you may be drawn to creative pursuits, serving those less fortunate, feeling compassionate, empathetic, working as a healer, counselor, a priestess or mystic. Blessed be, wherever you are.

Later, the Sun trines Uranus. You may have an insight that inspires you to take a risk that is liberating. You’re seeking stimulation, excitement or a walk on the wild side. It’s harmonious, so you’ll likely choose an unusual (for you) and healthy expression of your Authenticity. Yes to that!

Sept 24 – Sun trine Pluto. Passionate and persuasive, this ambitious energy fuels the drive to make things happen and transform problems into opportunities. Use it well. 

Mars square Pluto – With Mars in Scorpio, you are operating with the planet of aggression (Mars) in the sign of power (Scorpio). Also, the Moon is in Scorpio today, on Mars, making the situation even more emotional and potentially volatile. Mars square Pluto is combustible and there will be a confrontation. I suggest you stay out of it, if possible. Lay low—this is not the day to to speak out, pick a fight or be provocative. 

You may feel like you have a volcano within you, ready to blow. Maybe something has been building inside and now it’s at the breaking point. This is a perfect day for a breakthrough if you’re doing therapeutic work, deep, focused solo work or research. If you feel edgy, do everyone a favor and sequester yourself and physically move your energy to release steam (exercise, dance, bike, swim, hike). Channel the energy to work for you in practical ways; you can move mountains when you harness it.

This week can be helpful if you’ve felt stuck in any area of your life. Focus on what you want to change as we move through this dynamic energy and know that as the world changes, you will change. That’s the point. We are here to grow and evolve.

If you’re currently creating something new, allow this energetic updraft to carry you to new heights and innovative discoveries about yourself and what’s possible. We’re entering an exciting creative time.

The breakdowns and dismantling in 3D are required for the world to be transformed. Do your work, do what you’re called to do and have faith that All is in Divine Order.

May all the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
