Saturn has moved into Virgo while Mars was opposed Jupiter at either end of a T- square resting on Uranus’s wild ride.  While retrograde Venus sextiled Mars, trined Jupiter, made a quincunx to Uranus and opposed Neptune - a busy Lady.  Now what does this mean in English?  We all got a good look at what our values are and how we function in the field of change.  Now we are finding the energy and opportunities to move forward in a new manner that emerges out of the chaos.  A new freedom is found in the ordering of our lives.

Reminder: Mercury goes retrogrades on the 11^th and remains so until the first of November.  Get ready to review, redo and be extra careful in your communications.
 

• On the 7^th from 4:30 to 6:30 am look for the Crescent Moon to highlight the grouping of Brilliant Venus, Saturn and the King Star Regulus.

• Watch for the Draconids Meteor Shower on the night of the 10^th.

• Venus and Saturn will be close together from the 11^th until the 15^th .  Look just before sunrise.

• On the night of the full moon, the 26^th the moon will be at it’s closest to Earth.

• During the last day of the month look for Mercury near the morning horizon.

• Jupiter remains in the Night sky and Mercury leaves the night sky on the 18^th.

On October 8th Venus enters Virgo.  As she comes in from Leo’s land of fun watch her face change. You can just see her thinking “I love when things are cleaner, neater, and tidier; now if everyone would just find that as enjoyable as esthetic, as stimulating as I do we could all live in a perfect world”.  Watch how she does this, Virgo can garden in white and still stay clean!

The Sun enters Scorpio on the 23^rd − now that we have entered the land of x-ray vision.  Make sure you use that energy exclusively on your self because those beams in our eyes can distort understanding.  On a lighter side if you have been looking for your passion now is the time to find it, dig in, explore and discover yourself.

On this same day, October 23^rd, Mercury’s apparent retrograde motion brings him into Libra, so look for a new diplomacy in your communication.  Mercury in Libra has the ability to think in some amazing ways if he doesn’t stop on the see-saw of indecision.  Make a decision and move on if you find yourself here − it is the sanest approach.
 

On October 11^th Mercury stations retrograde, now is the time to finish up all the loose ends that have been hanging over our heads.  This Mercury retrograde follows the Libra New Moon and the final Jupiter Uranus square of their long term dance − this is that on again off again game.  Look for larger vistas, more freedoms and understanding the responsibilities needed to carry them out.  When you take the balance point of this New Moon and the settling effect of Jupiter’s last square to Uranus and apply Mercury retrograde energies through Scorpio, we are allowed a vantage point to see and tie up the loose ends in our lives.  Then Mercury enters into Libra’s territory on the 23^rd and finding balance in our relationships and our lives suddenly seem full of possibilities.

Neptune stations direct on the 31^st  − more than one veil will be lifted this All Hallows Eve!  The next day, Mercury will go direct and we will start November with the ability to think a lot clearer and see a lot farther.  Neptune stations direct at 19° of Aquarius; asking us to think about where we fit in and how can we contribute.  These are lessons we have been reviewing for the past half year.  This is yet one more energy we can incorporate into our new directed energy package.  This is a point that teaches us about faith, so stand firm in yours as you move into a larger world.

This is the Hunters Moon and the Moons closest approach to the Earth this year.  If ever there was a time to see the world from a new point of view this is the moment!  The heavens are aligning to offer us this opportunity now.  Look deep within yourself and then far around your world.  Do this exercise with a  rhythmic cleansing breath; in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Use this opportunity to throw off all the old and make room for inspiration to flow.  The arrangement of the planets at this time is perfect for awakening awareness within.
