The day is pretty solid, yet
breezy. The Aquarius Moon aspects Saturn and Uranus from morning to
early afternoon. This provides stability, purpose, a sense of calm
and a willingness to look at old problems and assess the potential of
new and inventive solution.
I love Saturn trine Uranus.
An aspect that will perfect once again November 11. Modernizing
Saturn and giving purpose and cause to our rebellious and inventive
nature is how it operates best. Today, the Moon gives personal nuance
to that. Allowing us to directly access this power for ourselves. I
have it everyday in my natal chart. I love creating new traditions.
I've never walked into a workplace without wondering what I can
streamline, modernize or improve. It seems as if it would be an
eternal matter of flux when the God of standards, norms, contraction,
consistency and tradition meets with the lord of change. However,
Uranus knows there is always room for improvement. Saturn stabilizes
him with a goal toward which he can aim his ingenuity while also
enriches him with experience and maturity.
Following the sextile with
Uranus at 12:22 PM EDT, the Moon is Void until diving into Pisces
tonight at 7:47 PM. If you have weekend chores, a problem to solve or
merely something new you'd like to learn about, today is good. It
could be quite productive in the earlier parts of our day. Then,
tonight, we are given license to relax under the Pisces Moon in an
effort to prep for the watery Monday we have ahead.
One way we can better
understand the effect of Saturn trine Uranus is to look at both PaulSimon (who originally penned “The Sound of Silence” featured in
tomorrows write up) and David Draiman (who rearranged and re-recorded
“The Sound of Silence” in 2015). Simon is a Libra with Moon in
Cancer trine Mercury in Scorpio. The song itself is very much a
depiction of that water trine. However, Draiman is a triple Pisces
(Sun, Venus, Mercury) with the same Moon in Cancer as Simon. Yet,
Draiman was also born while Uranus in Libra was trine Saturn in
Gemini (basically the reverse of what we have in the sky now). That
Uranus/Saturn trine falls right on Simon's Sun. So, Draiman with
artistic nuance took something that had already been made,
established and part of the voice of a previous generation and made
it new, modern and still, currently applicable. That's how the aspect
works and what it strives to do.

There is SO much water
within this day! We begin with the Moon in Pisces trine Jupiter in
Scorpio at 3:54 AM. By 9:34 AM, the Moon is trine the Sun in Scorpio
and conjunct Neptune by 5:32 PM.
I'm wondering if we will
even feel physically present in this day. It's very drifty and the
air is filled with the things no one wants to talk about as minds
churn in an attempt to put the pieces of all that together.
I expect most of the day
will be quiet and perhaps inwardly speculative. Pisces nor Scorpio
are known for their volume. Yet, both of them have this non-verbal
way of both communicating and taking information in that sets a
certain type of undertone.
On the best end, this is a
highly creative and deeply intuitive day. It's excellent for
ceremonies that honor the non-living and perhaps also leave room for
mourning and contemplation. It's stellar for deep introspection and
really getting in touch with your personal softer bodies.
But, productive? Not so
much. Folks will not really be so prone to be engaged with reality as
they drift through this day. Their minds..perhaps even their
souls...are elsewhere. We are wafting spirits in a material tangible
world today. Music will help to guide our way and our mood. Employ it
liberally.

Woo hoo! Happy Halloween!
Blessed Samhain! This is my absolute favorite time of year! So,
let's have a look at how the day goes, shall we?
It looks as if it begins
with the PERFECT set up for all the Halloween and Samhain activities.
The Moon resides in imaginative and intuitive Pisces waking up in
sextile to the Lord of Darkness, Pluto in Capricorn. She goes on to
tell ghost stories and talk to the dead with a trine to Mercury in
Scorpio at 1:22 PM. See? That part is PERFECT!
What is not perfect is the
reality slap that comes by way of a lunar square to Saturn at 5:08
(just before the festivities for this day usually begin). Something,
perhaps just a feeling of dread or the day being curbed by outside
factors, comes to try to block or usurp our fun this evening. The
Moon meets Chiron by conjunction at 5:35 PM. So, that curbing could
come from various form from illness, fear, spiritual issues or, even,
religious oppression.
The Moon remains Void until
entering Aries at 2:43 AM. That means that the evening activities are
pretty passionless. We are not emotionally engaged. However, since
the Moon is Void...does that mean all the candy you eat after Trick
or Treating has no calories? Or that those calories have a
semi-teflon coating that keeps them from “sticking to your ribs”
and your waist line? I mean, Void Moon means “nothing shall come of
it” right? I think I may test that theory...you know, in the
interest of science and stuff.
The morning is great for
getting a “feel” of the season and entertaining that however you
choose. Tonight though is fairly subdued and it can be hard to “get
into” anything after that 5 o'clock whistle blows. I do not
recommend efforts aimed at divination or communing with spirit on
this night. The emotional body needs to be properly engaged to glean
what is intended from such. In the early part of the day looks much
better for that. Or, if you are a night owl, perhaps you charge
fearlessly into the graveyard after the Moon clicks back on in Aries.
It will be more close to midnight on the Pacific Coast. So, it fits
on that side of the world.

This morning the Moon is in
ambitious Aries. Her first major aspect occurs at midday with an
opposition to Mars following an inconjunct with Jupiter in Scorpio.
As a result of the inconjunct we may receive intuitive nuance that
something feels off thus leading us to the stand off and call to
balance brought by the Moon/Mars opposition. Self against other. What
we feel like doing versus what we are expected to do. A need for
independence but drive toward relating. That's where the fulcrum must
find center. Between ourselves and our ambitions and that which we
perceive coming from the elusive “other.” This act of balance
will likely be a big part of the day.
Overnight, Mercury will find
Chiron by trine. In times such as these, when the mind is deep and
potentially feeling wounded, it may be best to keep our thoughts to
ourselves. With Mercury in Scorpio, we may lean that way anyway. But,
here we run the risk of speaking harshly from our places of pain.
That potential meets exacerbation under Moon/Mars. All together, it
seems like a good day to be easy with ourselves and maybe be
resistant to reacting “in the moment.” Mars in Libra can be used
to bring peace to our internal and external wars. However, as the
logical mind swims the deep and meets with the thorns in our own
psyche, that talent may seem inaccessible. Libra runs on logic by way
of it's adherence to Air. Yet, logic is skewed in this day. Again,
the best bet is to let things play out without feeling as if we have
to engage right now. Yet the push to respond “right now” is there
with the Moon in Aries.
It is a goodnight to attempt
to contact “spirit” under Mercury/Chiron. It could bring healing
closure to someone in need. Just be responsible practitioners, in
that regard.

This morning, the Moon still
reside in Aries. As we wake, she is square Pluto in Capricorn
bringing punctuation to emotional control and abuse efforts. With the
Moon under Pluto's subservient spell and a current stellium in Pluto
ruled Scorpio, this can also breed paranoia or fear. The Aries Moon
won't likely back down from such. It's a brave and warring placement.
However, it could have the Aries Moon fighting things that don't even
exist. Unsubstantiated fears and products of a potentially sick
(Mercury/Chiron) and twisted mind.
As the day moves forward,
how we deal with those fears becomes a very punctuated event. Saturn
in Sagittarius squares Chiron in Pisces at 5:47 PM. We are forced to
stare this stuff down. Face it. Deal with it for better or worse.
Then, as the Moon opposes
Venus in Libra, Mercury finds Uranus by inconjunct and, then the Moon
finds both Uranus (conjunction) and Saturn (trine) we can either
break through or break down. Relationships will end on this day for
various reason. Likely abruptly. We will see more of that as the Full
Moon in Taurus waxes in while Venus is opposed to Uranus tomorrow
night. What hurts us and how we deal with it does have a trickle over
effect into our relationships. Depending on our ability to deal, that
can either help us build more effective relationships or serve
forever as a source as their undoing. Chances are you will be well
apprised of well you actually deal and how that bears affect on the
folks around you today. Again. For better or worse.
Prepare for the unexpected.
Ensure you are aware of and conscious control of your own demons not
to mention your own psychology. Know that if something ends abruptly
it likely needed to. You are now free of it. Free to learn. Free to
move on. Free to apply those lessons in the future. Or, free to do
nothing and keep making the same mistakes that got you into this
position to begin with. The choice and what you do as a result is up
to you.
On a collective level,
Saturn square Chiron shows us that the “old ways” (Saturn) of
dealing with things is making us sick—physically, psychically,
emotionally and, sometimes, physically. Uranus in the proximity of
this square, ahead of Chiron and trine Saturn, begs us to seek new
solutions in an effort to deal with these things. It can be done.
But, the way Uranus catalyzes to that end is not at all nice and in
this instance, probably not chosen. Some outdated machinery may blow
completely apart forcing us to upgrade. The power to do so is there.
That doesn't ensure that it will be pleasant or something you chose
to do.
Overnight, Venus does
stabilize with a sextile to Saturn. The Moon is Void after the
conjunction to Uranus at 11:03 PM. Whatever “explodes” is going
to leave a dull ring inside our heads until the Moon finally saunters
into Taurus at 5:46 AM tomorrow morning. I don't expect things to
fully “settle down” by then. We are under the influence of a very
powerful Full Moon who's ruler is opposed Uranus. Settled is likely
not going to be a feeling most have until after all that passes and
the energy begins to wane.

It's an eventful
Astrological day...just as the week has been that led to it. However,
even though the pressure keeps building from that in the beginning of
the day, the Venus/Uranus opposition will eventually provide some
relief. Something that no longer serves, something we may still hold
dear is going to fly apart in some way. The tension that leaves us as
Venus opposes Uranus will be a relief from the straining duck tape
that has operated as an ineffective “quick fix” in an effort to
keep the thing together until now. The tape flies apart and the truth
about how the thing no longer works is exposed. The exposure of what
is truly broken and the awareness and shock that comes from sudden
and abrupt departures is going to be undeniable. In long-term, we
will look back and view as “for the best.” But, under a Full Moon
as the Sun is in trine to Neptune...for now...it's likely going to
just hurt. This is not necessarily something we choose to change. It
is something that circumstance forces us to change. Do not expect
that to be comfortable. Yet, it will serve as “primer” for our
incoming transit of Uranus through Taurus which will serve to do much
the same thing...push us out of complacency by ripping us from our
comfort zones giving us zero choice in the matter.
The Moon does oppose Jupiter
in Scorpio at 2:26 PM. Some things are going to be very much blown
out of proportion. So, scale back and ensure you are assessing
everything with proper perspective. Many will question who they are
and some will wonder the same about them. Plus, we are quite
sensitive under Sun/Neptune. Just after midnight the Moon sextiles
the same less than an hour before the Venus/Uranus opposition.
This opposition occurs at 26
Libra/Taurus beneath the following Sabian Symbols:
26 Libra: An eagle and a
white dove change swiftly into each other. Necessary cooperation
between mind, will, spirit and heart, love. Power of psychological
balance and compensation. Unity.
26 Aries: A man bursting
with the wealth of what he has to give. Supreme endowment, and
inexhaustibly of resources in all possible life realms. Sometimes
obsession by potentiality.
What leaves..is a gift
really. It's going to be hard to see that right now. Our behavior in
response, however, is going to be key on how this plays out in the
immediate. I say let it go. Wish it well. Let the weight off your
shoulders and allow yourself to feel uncertain in the weightlessness
of that. Trust yourself to be able to deliver what it is you
need...but, let it go.
The Full Moon officially
bursts open at 1:23 AM. I drew the Devil as guide for this Lunation.
Talk
about literal. I'm not sure Tarot could have been more pointed with
its advice for this lunation. Now, whenever you go around throwing
the Devil's name out there, folks have a tendency to react severely.
Most of the time due to past conditioning and religious beliefs. None
of that really matters. What matters is that you understand how “he”
operates. He tempts. He seduces. He ensnares you through these
avenues. He uses your strongest desires against you and threatens
that which you hold dear. He's VERY good at it! “You want that
pretty new car, don't you? Sure you do. Make a deal with me,” he
taunts. So, you do. In turn, you are shackled to the payback demands
of that loan. At times, the terms are so cumbersome that we never get
to actually enjoy whatever reward we may have gleaned from it.
Instead, we become the slave to our “things” our “loves” our
“precious” while also carrying about this huge debt of payback.
We aim our work efforts to pay for it and, then, are inclined to
further worship and dictation from the same.
Do you
desire money? Fame? Endless lovers and admirers? Then, the Devil
likely has a ready made deal for you. He will prey upon you through
your desires. He will cause you to forsake your ethereal values for
worldly pleasures. He will continue tempting and seducing you until
he controls the fate of your soul. You stop working for love and
become the slave to desire and yearning.
Or, the
Devil shows us what is truly important by giving us what we think we
want but putting to perish everything that is truly of importance.
His teaching methods are anything but above board.
The
Devil's temptations play out in very subtle ways sometimes. Each
avenue he employs is meant to allow him to feed off our energies and
cause us to do his bidding. But, when we cut away or build boundary
against his temptations we are left with our sense of power, dignity
and integrity intact. Don't fool yourself, though. He is very, very
seductive. He is literally a sexy beast. The temptation is real. The
more we detach from the desires of the world, the more we keep
turning our faces toward what is of true worth and value the lesser
his powers become. We maintain our power through conscious choices.
This,
again, lets me know this is prime time to cut negative attachment and
to rid ourselves of things that may affect our interactions with
others and with ourselves negatively (jealousy, envy, greed, fear,
etc.). The Devil is only as strong as you allow him to be. He doesn't
want you to know that. When you are in control of and conscious of
your desires and make choices that align with valuing and respecting
yourself and others, he is rendered powerless. Don't let him fool
you, either. You are much more powerful than he is and he knows it.
That's why he is targeting you. He's found your vulnerabilities and
plans to play with them like a kid with a new toy. He's going to do
that by playing to your deepest desires for worldly riches and
notoriety. He will offer you a quick route to these things. But, when
you get there, you are still going to feel empty and have the added
baggage of debt on your shoulders. Don't fall for it, sweet pea. Push
him aside. It won't take him long to find someone else to feed off of
and enslave with his false promises.
If you
have literal demons to exorcise, this is the night to do it.
Banishing, banning and completely “without a trace” energetic
clearance efforts work well in this day. Though, again, there may be
some exorcisms that come by force. Our demons may not wait for us to
call them out and decide to make their presence known on their own.
Whether by choice or by having something valuable ripped from our
hands, something we hold dear may be gone by morning if it's not left
already. Yes, we must mourn. But, at the end of that, it is time to
take a deeper look at ourselves in regard to the entirety of the
happenings and stare down the fears and subservient responses that we
perpetrated that led us to this end. Then, like the Atlas' of our
Universe, we keep our sense of forbearance and trudge on. I mean,
it's common sense that if you are going through Hell you should keep
walking. Maybe you will get through the piles of brimstone so
quickly, the Devil might not even know you are there.
