Astrology Brief for October 30-November 5, 2023 from Sandra Helton©

A good week for delving into your magical abilities. 

Active right now is Venus currently in Virgo that trines Uranus on Tuesday and opposes Neptune on Friday creating a beguiling though untrustworthy energy calling for objectivity and a watchful eye so as to avoid misunderstanding or being led in a wrong direction. The trine of Venus to Uranus certainly helps to be innovative and unique in your approach to life and if creative then you’re helped much. Much can catch your attention and hold you entranced that on Friday with the opposition to Neptune can be equally as beguiling though not in the best way. Someone may seem ideal or a social circumstance may draw your attention for the wrong reasons. Not all is as it appears so the more you want to invest time, energy or commitment the more it’s good to go slow and let these rays pass before going forward.

Saturn in Pisces slows to a standstill as it begins moving direct on Saturday. Many unknowns and obscure feelings begin to unfold with more insight and understanding. Many people from near to worldwide have been asking questions as to why certain things are happening and have sought answers to no avail. The “why” of life seems to have slipped into obscurity but the veil is lifting and intuitive instincts will prove right while what has been covert or hidden comes to light. Matters relating to career, your established life, and factors you consider reliable are slightly influx and need review before fully proceeding forward with important decisions.

The lunar wane is part of the eclipse that peaked October 28 in Taurus as it continues to be influential for the rest of 2023. This relates to money, income, all you consider valuable, and the tangible world needing adjustments. Within, you’re called to ponder what you feel is valuable to you so aligning with your values and life principles is likely to be helpful in a number of ways.

The Quarter Moon in Leo on Sunday is active energy until the next New Moon on November 13. The Quarter Moon chart has three challenging angles of the Moon square the Sun, square Mars and square Uranus, all of which cautions to take your time and avoid risks. It’s good to take your time on the road, during all travel, when interacting to anyone who seems volatile and also it’s good to keep a distance where something appears out of control or unpredictable. This can cause edginess and stress so plan time for options and latitude.

Ongoing (archived) transits of note:

The Sun in Scorpio for the next month promotes self-awareness and diving deep into not just your own psyche but all happening around you and across the world. It’s a time of pondering with added perception that provides greater insight than usual.

The Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28 has been building energy for the last two weeks since the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse in Scorpio and will be active for at least three weeks and maybe longer which is about recognizing how you’ve established your world, especially relating to money and financial security. What you value looms heavily and can be a prominent energy you may need to address. What you value is a worthwhile study to more so understand its purpose and meaning in your life.

Pluto is direct in Capricorn where it is until the end of the year and then moves once again into Aquarius. During these months that is was retrograde in Capricorn there was continual unsettled activity within governments and all aspects of association as well as the same for corporations.

Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus lasts until December 30 offering for many a reprieve plus it gives you an opportunity to reset your financial clocks and plans. As the planet of abundance you may restore and refine the past as it relates to what you hold valuable. This time is nice for delving into your sense of yourself and how you hold to personal worth and self-esteem. Taking time to contemplate the meaning of life as aspirations likely will yield “valuable” results. Globally the world will be in a kind of financial flux that is informative as it relates to the economy, stocks, incomes and all matters of money exchange. What has been progress and growth may need refining or reviewed to remain solvent going forward.

AFFIRMATION

These affirmations are composed based on current celestial placements.

Taking a moment to be still and ideally in a quiet place, or even when going to sleep, the reading or speaking of these may be helpful and benefit your soul journey. Even just seeing it can be beneficial.

Astrology Brief for October 23-29, 2023 from Sandra Helton©

The Sun moves into Scorpio on Monday joining Mercury conjunct Mars opposite Jupiter, and we have a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus that’s part of the Scorpio-Taurus axis of influence on Saturday making this a very busy week for our solar system.

The Sun in Scorpio for the next month promotes self-awareness and diving deep into not just your own psyche but all happening around you and across the world. It’s a time of pondering with added perception that provides greater insight than usual.

On Tuesday the Scorpio Sun trine Saturn helps to build on what you sense so as to strengthen your innermost self with awareness and fortitude. You’re helped to build on your strengths.

The Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on Saturday has been building energy for the last two weeks since the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse in Scorpio and will be active for at least three weeks and maybe longer which is about recognizing how you’ve established your world, especially relating to money and financial security. What you value looms heavily and can be a prominent energy you may need to address. What you value is a worthwhile study to more so understand its purpose and meaning in your life.

Mars opposite Jupiter on Saturday stirs urges to buy and go all out in some way that’s best monitored or you could go too far and fall short of expectations as well as suffer financial loss.

Mercury opposite Jupiter also on Saturday prompts becoming involved in causes or missions that just may be challenging unless you’re very sure of your own stance. People can go too far with words and deeds making it best to be mindful of what you say and do.

Mercury and Mars conjunct in Scorpio on Sunday heightens awareness although it can cause that awareness to be intense and a lot to handle. Strive to know beforehand what you want to do or say so that you don’t just fly off the handle. There can be someone or a group that gets carried away.

Ongoing (archived) transits of note:

The Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Libra occurs at 1:55 PM, October 14 launches a powerful time for seeing others perspectives and having needed enlightenment. Libra governs all types of direct relationships such as marriage and partnerships that will be sensitized and any issues and needs brought forward. You may spend the next few months sorting through interactive dynamics.

Pluto is direct in Capricorn where it is until the end of the year and then moves once again into Aquarius. During these months that is was retrograde in Capricorn there was continual unsettled activity within governments and all aspects of association as well as the same for corporations.

Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus lasts until December 30 offering for many a reprieve plus it gives you an opportunity to reset your financial clocks and plans.

Astrology Brief for October 16-22, 2023 from Sandra Helton©

The Sun in Libra and Mercury along with significant Pluto power is prominent this week as

they join the ongoing influence of the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse in Libra that occurred October 14. There’s no limit and lessening of the eclipse energy for the rest of the year that’s catapulted more by the upcoming lunar eclipse on October 28 in Taurus with strong planet angles aligned for that, too.

The Sun and Mercury conjunct in Libra on Friday heightens all forms of communication and mental ability. Sharp thinking and high energy along with all the other great planet angles can produce revelations and interesting insight.

Mercury square Pluto also on Friday furthers all this with certain stark realities that can be both unsettling and yet, from the bigger picture is revealing of what you might need to know. Avoid the urge to strike out but instead grab information and awareness of the difference between friend and foe or conflicting situations.

Along the same energetic line is the Sun square Pluto on Saturday with the Quarter Moon conjunct Pluto. Keeping matters in tow and staying aware in the moment is a good scenario to manage so much impetus to act out or witness acting out of others.

Sunday is truly a blessed day with Venus trine Jupiter that mellows and brings opportunity to feel at ease and experience generosity and love. Mercury trine Saturn offers the ability to positively strengthen your stance and thoughts so you’re more organized and thorough as needed. What you do is fortified. The Quarter Moon in Capricorn adds to this that helps you to build a nice platform for work and living during the next week until the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28.

Mercury transits Scorpio from Sunday until November 12 that can bring strong thoughts and ideas and can also be transformative for emotions and your spirit. You feel like going the limit with desires that can work if you’re thorough and motivated in a positive way. Serious conversations and private talks ensue and hidden agendas grow.

Addressing war in the Middle East – I’ve referenced potential for war a few times over recent months though kept it at a minimum in hope we could all together focus of avoidance and counter measures. This energy can also apply personally so it’s good to strive for inner strength and clarity of your needs and reinforcement.

Astrology Brief October 9-15, 2023 / Libra Solar Eclipse & Mars in Scorpio

We move to the New Moon on Saturday coinciding with the Solar Eclipse in Libra so until then is great for finishing up tasks and finalizing energies you want to put to rest before beginning anew and fully immersed in eclipse rays.

Pluto is direct beginning Tuesday in Capricorn where it is until the end of the year and then moves once again into Aquarius. During these months that is was retrograde in Capricorn there was continual unsettled activity within governments and all aspects of association as well as the same for corporations.

Venus opposite Saturn on Tuesday can cause a stall or challenge for personal relationships and where you want to maintain connections socially. This can dull the senses relating to creativity so take time to coast and regroup slowly. Patience may be needed.

Mars moves into Scorpio Thursday remaining there until November 12 which is a somewhat compatible placement as Mars once ruled Scorpio before Pluto was discovered and took over its domain. It’s good to allow yourself time to ponder deeper thoughts and feelings as the energy helps to tap into those inner recesses and the shadow self. Interesting ideas and occurrences unfold.

Friday the Thirteenth brings Mars trine Saturn that’s a stabilizer for moods and helps to ground and advance with sure-footing. Something can take root to carry you forward. Take time to consider what’s meaningful so that you can establish it to your advantage.

The Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Libra occurs at 1:55 PM launching a powerful time for seeing others perspectives and having needed enlightenment. Libra governs all types of direct relationships such as marriage and partnerships that will be sensitized and any issues and needs brought forward.

Astrology Brief for October 2-8, 2023 from Sandra Helton©

Leading the way this week is Mercury that opposes Neptune on Monday, trines Pluto on Tuesday and moves from Virgo into Libra on Wednesday where it remains until October 22. Going full force it has significant impact regarding all communication from simple texting to formal contracts. In the last degrees of Virgo there’s a lot of attention not just on what’s said but also on what’s done. Actions are noticed, weighed and measured for truth and authenticity. The opposition to Neptune is about aspects of deception that include beguilement, becoming lost in word or deed and misunderstanding. The trine to Pluto on Tuesday gives strength and can empower you to take a stand and be strong in your convictions. While in Libra there’s major emphasis on interactions and all the give and take in relationships as well as dynamics in all partnerships and business. The public more easily chimes in with scrutiny and forms of idealism. The Mercury in Libra cycle is strong on scrutiny and calls for discernment.

Very strong energy comes in from Mars square Pluto on Sunday that has the week and into next Monday energized with intense rays that can go in more than one direction so it’s good to be aware and cautious. If you suspect volatile circumstances than ensure you are well away from entanglements. Intensity is the key energy.

Sunday brings Venus in Virgo where it transits until November 9 helping to mellow the work place and find time during your daily routine to enjoy life a bit more. You see the value in leisure time that is also nourishing as well as enjoyable. Business trends have a more easygoing focus and nice productions result.

Ongoing transits of note:

What has been progress and growth may need refining or reviewed to remain solvent going forward.

Mars in Libra until October 12 activates all direct relationships and dealing with the public. Libra is about finding harmony through resolution and understanding and recognizing reflective energy. Marriage and close connections including business partnerships are stirred so you may be working through issues and anywhere something has been left faltering. This is partly about give and take and seeing other perspectives.
