Astrology for week of 10/21-10/27

Monday 10/21 MOON DAY

Moon in Gemini conjunct Jupiter, square Neptune and trine Libra Sun

Moon enters Cancer at 6:49pm EST

The Moon is in Gemini for most of the day, ruled by Mercury in Scorpio who is minutes away from a disseminating trine to Saturn in Pisces. The disseminating phase is about stabilizing and involvement, so with Mercury and Saturn from the depth of these waters signs I think today is about maturing our mental powers, Mercury in Scorpio is psychological analysis, we’re learning about our fears and shadows and Saturn in Pisces is about maturing the fantasy/ideals and taking a more realistic and unconditionally loving approach to reality. So maybe today we become more aware of our psychic sludge that’s keeps us in our fears and delusions and maybe we find acceptance of our human conditions, maybe we make peace with our shadows today. Moon in Gemini is curious and is emotionally integrating reality in a mental way so it could be easier today to analyze the issues rather than being emotionally stuck in them. Good day for deep talks, spill your secrets to someone you trust.

Tuesday 10/22 MARS DAY

Mars in Cancer at 25*

Mercury in Scorpio disseminating trine to Saturn in Pisces

Sun in Libra last quarter square to Pluto in Aquarius

Sun enters Scorpio at 6:14pm EST

Moon in Cancer square the nodes, trine Saturn in Pisces and trine Mercury in Scorpio

Venus in Sagittarius disseminating trine to North Node in Aries and crescent sextile to South Node in Libra

Firstly, as it is a Mars day, Mars’ transit through Cancer is helping us learn emotional maturity, self-regulation and finding the will to meet our own emotional needs and nurture ourselves. Mars days in general are a call to action, to make choices and to participate in our own becoming. The Sun in the last quarter square to Pluto is helping us realize the best relationships happen when we have to freedom to be ourselves, when we stop focusing on being acceptable and appreciated. As the Sun moves into Scorpio we meet our shadows and the depths of our desires and compulsions, we’re more interested in our psychological workings. Mercury trine Saturn, maybe we’re more aware of our psychological limitations and can work with them rather than struggling against them. The Moon in Cancer is setting off that transit and with Mars Day in Cancer as well I think it’s important to tend to our emotional wellbeing and security. There could be emotional reactivity today when events push us out of our comfort zone. Venus in Sag aspecting the nodes can help us take a more adventurous and philosophical approach, trying to sense the deeper meaning of what’s being played out. How can you maintain a sense of inner security today while facing emotional upsets?

Magiel, Angel for 26* Cancer

Magiel, help us find the courage to take care of our emotional needs and self regulate when facing any uncomfortable or insecure situations today.

Wednesday 10/23 MERCURY DAY

Mercury in Scorpio at 15*

Moon in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, conjunct Mars, sextile Uranus in Taurus and trine Neptune in Pisces

Mercury is separating from the trine with Saturn in Pisces, still in the disseminating phase, so we could be mentally interacting today with a realistic awareness of our fears and shadows while still doing our best. We could also get lost in the fears and delusions, Cancer Moon and Mars driven by emotional safety and security will do anything to keep those comforts. If we’re aware of manipulative tendencies maybe we can rise above rather than falling victim. Mercury in Scorpio with all the Cancer energy, a call to conversational intimacy and vulnerability. Write out the betrayals and fears, burn the letter, let it go.

Dachiel, Angel for 16* Scorpio

Dachiel, may we find the inner security to be vulnerable with ourselves and respond from a place of inner love rather than fear.

Thursday 10/24 JUPITER DAY

Jupiter rx in Gemini at 20*

Moon enters Leo at 1:23am EST

Moon in Leo square Sun in Scorpio, trine North Node in Aries, sextile South Node in Libra and trine Venus in Sagittarius

Mars in Cancer crescent phase sextile to Uranus in Taurus

The Mars/Uranus sextile is about participating with liberating from our emotional security and safety attachments. It could look like choosing to go see a movie alone when you’ve always wanted the support from a movie companion or finding the courage to remove yourself from an unhealthy situation. Maybe it’s just emotionally regulating yourself rather than relying on partner/parent to help. The Moon is in Leo, so things could get dramatic and we tend to focus more on ourselves and our subjective emotional reality. It being Jupiter Day and Jupiter is in Gemini, I think we could learn more about ourselves and what we’re capable of; expanding on our own sagas and our personal truths. Flip side to this energy we could be manipulating, lying and throwing temper tantrums to get our needs met, or maybe it’s a wild mix of all of this!

Bachiel, Angel for 20* Gemini

Bachiel, help us expand our personal stories and truths around our emotional comfort and security needs.

Friday 10/25 VENUS DAY

Venus in Sagittarius at 9*

Moon in Leo square Mercury in Scorpio, trine Chiron in Aries and sextile Jupiter in Gemini

Venus in Sag is ruled by Jupiter in Gemini, they are currently in a gibbous phase awaiting the opposition. That’s saying that there’s a refining and an improvement process relating to our beliefs and personal truths within our relationships and feeling nature, could be a very humbling process where we’re acknowledging where we’ve been wrong and/or deceiving ourselves. Venus in Sag can be very pushy, where we are trying to convince and convert others to our value systems and our subjective feeling reality. In this gibbous phase though we really just have to accept having our beliefs/values/meanings questioned and work with it and through it. With the Moon in Leo we’re all more focused on our own personal subjective emotional reality, which can bring out the exaggeration and overcompensation with Venus in Sag if we’re feeling inadequate. With the Moons aspects today I think we’re being given another opportunity for disclosing our truths and being honest and open with ourselves and others. With all this fire and within the gibbous phase itself, movement helps if your feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Go for a walk or a mini adventure, feel your truth.

Jebiel, Angel for 10* Sagittarius

Jebiel, help us improve our relationship to our personal truths and help us find acceptance when faced with others.

Saturday 10/26 SATURN DAY

Saturn is rx in Pisces at 13*

Moon in Leo square Uranus in Taurus

Moon enters Virgo at 11:47am EST

Mercury in Scorpio gibbous phase inconjunct to Jupiter in Gemini

With the Moon in Virgo today and the inconjunct from Mercury/Jupiter we could meet a crisis today involving our ability to communicate what we believe and about being honest with ourselves and other about our shadows, fears, compulsions, all the Scorpio psychological depth stuff. I think it’s always about finding new ways of thinking about our truths and our mental self-definitions, we’re finding new words and new mental paths. The point of Virgo and gibbous phase crisis’ is to acknowledge adjustment and self-improvement. The Saturn in Pisces part continues to remind us that we need to be realistic with our expectations of reality and concede that we have to do the real time work and put in the effort to make our dreams and fantasies a reality. So it’s a realistic understanding that we encounter crisis and that there’s always improvements to be made, that is just the human experience. Venus in Sag is also in a disseminating square to Saturn, tying in the need for honesty in all our relationships but also inherent within this aspect is finding a new way to express our truths apart from the ways we’ve been conditioned.

Dagiel, Angel for 13* Pisces

Dagiel, help us come into the self-authority and maturity necessary to deal with any crisis’ that arise today.

Sunday 10/27 SUN’S DAY

Sun in Scorpio at 4*

Moon in Virgo square Venus in Sagittarius and opposing Saturn in Pisces

No major aspects today but that doesn’t mean it’s a chill day, cause nothing about Scorpio is chill. While the Sun is in Scorpio, we’re all called to bear witness to ours, and others, psychological depths. We wanna know why, we want to merge with our desires. Scorpio is also about cravings and aversions, there a desire for deep commitment within the Scorpio archetype but that also brings with it the fear of entrapment and/or betrayal. Scorpio is also the archetype of metamorphosis, of changing form, evolution. With the Moon in Virgo we could be obsessing about all the details of what’s wrong, throwing ourselves back into crisis, being overly critical with ourselves and others, avid denial that anything is amiss that could coincide with keeping ourselves busy with trivial things to keep us from looking at the issues. We could also just take the Scorpio Sun shining on our shadows and have the Virgo Moon help us see where we could do with some self-improvement. We’re learning to trust life and ourselves, respect the process and keep practicing.

Naphael, Angel for 5* Scorpio

Naphael, help us trust ourselves and life enough to be open to trusting others and find deep and beautiful intimacy.
