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.

Ongoing (archived) transits of note:

The Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Libra occurs at 1:55 PM, October 14 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. 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. 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. As a clinical hypnotherapist I’ve studied writing scripts so the composition is written with the intent to allow connecting with the heavens and expanding awareness to be more in harmony for the highest good. 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. 

“Awareness is my inner and outer strength for harmonious alignment.”
