~Monday October 7th through Sunday October 13th~
***All times are Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT)***
ANNOUNCEMENT- I live in Asheville and we have been devastated by Hurricane Helene. My neighborhood has a communication black out (no wifi/no cell service). My home is fine and we have water and power- so I came home. But now there is concern about toxic mud drying out and becoming toxic dust in the air. I am currently in the process of figuring out if we have to leave again.
I will do my best to get content up as I am able. This week’s Weekly Forecast is major transits only (no minor/no asteroids). I will resume the full in-depth forecasts when I am able to.
Thank you

Monday October 7th-
There are no major transits today.
Tuesday October 8th-
At 6:22am Venus in Scorpio trines Mars in Cancer- linking the Divine Lovers in beautiful ways! Venus/Mars can be great for romance, creativity and fertility. With both bodies in Water signs we can find emotional rapport with others and our compassion, intuition and psychic capacities are strengthened. Open your heart and give and receive Love today!
Mercury in Libra trines Jupiter in Gemini at 8:23am- linking the Planet of communication with the Planet of expansion in the sign of communication. This is a great day for communication!!! When Planets move through Libra they are getting ROCKED by some super intense astrology- aligning with the South Node of Karma, quincunxing Saturn, opposing Chiron and Eris, and quincunxing Uranus and Neptune, and squaring Pluto. The ONE positive aspect these Planets in Libra make is a trine to Jupiter- so make the most of it! Open lines of communication, seek to see things from all sides (not just your own), offer the olive branch in intense situations. Finding new pathways in communication and relationships is key. Opportunities to travel, teach, learn and expand your mind can be incoming today! (Jupiter stations Retrograde tomorrow so this is a trigger of Jupiter at standstill will magnifies the energies available use it wisely!!!)
At 10:36am Mercury in Libra opposes Retrograde Chiron in Aries- creating tension between the Mind and Intellect and the Wounded Healer planetoid. Mercury/Chiron can make for some intense communications today. Old wounds and pain arising around our expression or repression of anger, rage, agency and self focus are up big time. Some of us over focus on others at the expense of ourselves- others of us are self focused at the expense of our relationships. We can best use this astrology to seek better balance between masculine and feminine, assertion and surrender, independence and interconnection. Pay attention to the communications up today- as well as thoughts and perceptions arising. They reveal the path to healing right now!
Wednesday October 9th-
At 3:05am Jupiter stations Retrograde at 21’20 Gemini- bringing the Planet of Expansion and abundance to a standstill in the skies. When Planets station Retrograde or Direct their energy is amplified- positively and negatively. Positively Jupiter at standstill expands our capacity to open lines of communication, open our minds and be willing to see things from a Broader viewpoint (i.e. not just our own). BUT Jupiter is in Detriment in Gemini and he is going into the Underworld- so we want to make sure we are aware that our own viewpoint is not the only one and we want to be willing to not just see the trees but also see the entire forest. Jupiter and his ruling sign of Sagittarius is more broad minded- while Gemini is more focused on its own thoughts and immediate surroundings. Balance is key.
Thursday October 10th-
At 11:44am Venus in Scorpio quincunxes Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini- creating a tense aspect between the two Benefic Planets. On 10/8 Mercury the mind trined standstill Jupiter, on 10/9 Jupiter stationed Retrograde and today the Goddess of Love & Beauty (aka the Heart) links with stationary, Retrograde Jupiter. At best Venus/Jupiter enjoys life, is social and relational and is generous of heart and Spirit. Yet both Venus and Jupiter are in signs they are not comfy in and we can find our intense emotions (Venus in Scorpio) exacerbated as well as our mental tension and overthinking (Jupiter in Gemini). Watching out for excess- emotionally, in spending, partying and more- is key today!
Venus in Scorpio quincunxes Retrograde Chiron in Aries at 12:57pm- creating tension between the Goddess of Love and Beauty and the Wounded Healer planetoid. With both bodies in Mars ruled signs we can have a lot of intense emotions, anger and rage coming up and we may find ourselves acting out in it in reactive ways OR stuffing it/denying it and internalizing it. Venus/Chiron is focused on wounding and healing- in relationships, emotionally, in regard to our will and ego, our capacity to have boundaries and more. Tuning into what needs healing and then acting on that is recommended today.
At 1:35pm Mercury in Libra opposes Retrograde Eris in Aries- creating tension between the Mind and Intellect that wants peace and harmony and the Warrior Goddess of Discord and Chaos that prefers upheaval to thinly veiled facades. Communication can be revealing, shocking, intense and upsetting. The key here is to be willing to see what is out of balance or no longer working- not just trying to keep it all together to make it look pretty and peaceful on the surface. Being in touch with deep emotions in healthy ways is key right now. Healthy expressions of anger and rage can be liberating and freeing. From today through 10/17 and 10/21 we have some VERY BIG ERIS ENERGIES incoming (Full Moon conjunct Eris, Mars square Eris). Discord & Chaos, as well as Activism and striving despite difficulties are the energies building right now. The key to Eris energy is to have healthy outlets for anger and rage (shadow work!), to be willing to pull back the veil and see the Truth, and to take a stand for Truth whenever possible. Keep this mind in the coming 11 days- it can be a bumpy ride but it can also be cathartic, clearing out the toxic past and creating space for the new. Eris’ energy is not all bad- we just have to be willing to invite in the Uninvited Guest (the shadow, the emotions we have pushed into the unconscious, the Truths we do not want to see or face).
Friday October 11th-
At 1:11pm Mercury in Libra quincunxes Retrograde Uranus in Taurus- creating tension between the lower mind and the Higher Mind in shocking and unexpected ways. Mercury/Uranus is great for aha moments and bolt out of the blue awarenesses- yet the tense nature of the aspect can bring anxiety, chaos and unexpected information or communications that throw us for a loop. With both bodies in Venus ruled signs it’s not likely to be a peaceful, easy going time right now. AND if we can find ways to move through intensity with grace we will make it through. Stay open to revelations that change your path or perception of yourself or others in sudden ways.
Pluto stations Direct at 29’38 Capricorn at 8:32pm- making the Lord of the Underworld the most powerful planet in the sky! All things plutonian are in focus right now: the depths, intensity, the subconscious, the shadow, fear, obsession, power, control, sexuality, debt and money. Opportunities to truly see what lies beneath the surface of structures, order, obligations and dogma in our lives is possible right now! Be aware that very deep rooted power/control dynamics can arise right now. Stay aware of your own need for power and control and stay out of manipulation- yours or anyone else’s. This is a great day (and week) to dive deep, confront shadow, be ruthlessly honest with ourselves and bring to the Light of consciousness that which is hidden. We are in some very deep times of revelation, Truth coming to Light, endings and letting go of old patriarchal paradigms to create space for the new. Use the energy wisely and be willing to confront your shadow and do the work of personal and planetary evolution and transformation! Pluto stations and in 2 days Mercury squares a Direct Pluto at the Karmic Completion degree of Capricorn. From today through 10/13 can be intense, revealing, cathartic and/or transformative. Use the power of your mind and communication wisely for best results!!!
Saturday October 12th-
At 3:34am Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini sextiles Retrograde Chiron in Aries- linking the Planet of Expansion and Abundance with the Wounded Healer Planetoid. This is the first of 3 Jupiter/Chiron sextiles and the 2nd one happens on 11/2- so we have back to back transits in the next 20 days with these two amplifying their energy together. It is interesting to see that this first one happens with Jupiter just having gone Retrograde on 10/9 and with Chiron Retrograde. The 2nd one is with both of them Retrograde as well- which is rare. Typically we have a first aspect followed by a 2nd aspect after one or both planets Station. But in this case Jupiter just stationed a few days previous and links with Chiron- but because Chiron is slower- Jupiter will catch up to Chiron again to aspect him 20 days later. Positively these two can be wonderful for communication and healing- both in terms of personal healing (therapy, shadow work, getting to the bottom of things that need healing) and collective (potentially good for diplomacy and finding healing paths through communication and collaboration). Opportunities to travel or teach or learn as a student are incoming! Chiron can help heal our minds (Jupiter in Gemini) and Jupiter can help Chiron get into old wounds and pain in new ways that truly support healing and transformation. With both the 1st and 2nd of these sextiles happening while both bodies are Retrograde- there is a focus on the past and dealing with what is unresolved that is in the spotlight the next 20 days. PAY ATTENTION!
Mercury in Libra quincunxes Retrograde Neptune in Pisces at 8:41am- creating tension between the conscious mind and intellect and the planet of intuition, illusion and idealism. Mercury/Neptune can be great for creativity, imagination and intuition but the tense nature of the aspect can make it really easy for us to delude or deceive ourselves or others or generally just be out to lunch. Watch out for over idealizing people or situations and seeing what you want to see! Take time to meditate and reflect and make big decisions in a few days when the aspect has passed.
Sunday October 13th-
At 10:03am Mercury in Libra squares Direct Pluto at 29’38 Capricorn- creating tension and friction between the Mind and Intellect that wants peace at any cost and the Lord of the Underworld that wants to expose what is in the shadows. Pluto just stationed Direct 2 days ago- so Mercury is aspecting a standstill Planet which amplifies the energy. The degree to which we are identified with the surface, with peace and balance and not wanting to rock the boat- is the degree to which things could be a little choppy right now. This is a time to DIVE DEEP and confront what is hidden beneath the surface within ourselves, within our relationships, in business and in the patriarchy. Steer clear of power struggles but at the same time don’t back down from speaking your Truth (from a healthy boundaried heart).
Venus in Scorpio quincunxes Retrograde Eris in Aries at 11:54am- creating tension between the Goddess of Love and Beauty and the Goddess of Discord and Chaos. Venus/Eris can bring up emotions, attachments and a need to face the shadow in relationships and finances right now. With both bodies in Mars-ruled signs there can be much passion and fire but also a lot of anger, rage and deep emotions to navigate. Navigate intensity with presence and patience today!
At 3:23pm Mercury moves out of Libra and into Scorpio- shifting the Mind and Intellect from Air to Water, thinking to feeling, conscious focus to the Unconscious. Mercury in scorpio is DEEP. This is a penetrating placement where we want to get to the root of what is going on. This is great for therapy, shadow work, research and investigation. Just watch out for too much intensity and obsession/compulsion in thinking and emotions- indulging in jealousy, possessiveness and power/control dynamics is not recommended!
Mars in Cancer squares Retrograde Chiron in Aries at 4:36pm- creating tension and friction between the Will and Drive and the Wounded Healer. Chiron is in Mars’ Sign so there is a double down energy playing out right now in regard to the wounded masculine. How we assert ourselves, take a stand, set boundaries and express anger is in focus. Some of us overdo this in aggressive, combative ways. Others of us stuff this, act out passive-aggressively and/or internalize it and have it manifest as depression and dis-ease. Right relationship with the mars-principle of ego, will and drive is key!
At 10:29pm the Sun in Libra opposes Retrograde Chiron in Aries- creating tension between the Conscious Self and Ego and the Wounded Healer planetoid. Sun/Chiron brings up old wounds and pain around our identity, self-confidence and capacity to relate to the masculine within and without in healthy, whole ways. The Sun in Libra tends to focus on WE rather than ME. Chiron in Aries has wounding around the masculine- manifesting as anger/selfishness issues or stuffing anger and not being able to focus on the self. Balance is key.
The Sun in Libra trines Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini at 11:52pm- aligning the Conscious Self and ego with the Planet of Expansion and Abundance! Sun/Jupiter can be quite benevolent- opening lines of communications and bringing expansive energy into relational dynamics. Opening our mind to see things from another’s perspective- “to walk in their shoes” so-to-speak- is supported right now. Make the most of it!
Have a blessed week…
