October begins as a breath of fresh air.....


We start with four planets in Libra, The Sun and Mercury conjunct (in the same degree) and Venus and Saturn conjunct too. Sun and Mercury make a lovely sextile to mars in Leo. Letting those things you are thinking about come into making it happen.

It is a wonderful time to be creative. The spirit is there and so is the energy to go ahead and DO it.

I don't mention the Moon that much in a transit chart because it moves so fast it is an influence for a couple of hours, but on the 6th Through to the 8th the Moon is in Aquarius making one trine after another to the personal planets in Libra. It is a good feeling time, with emotions expanding the creativity and relationships that Libra loves so much.

At the end of this passage at 28-1 degrees in Air crossing over to Water, the Moon conjuncts Neptune, feelings and that spiritual, non-rational area of transformation joining the energy of Venus, creativity and relationships all blending together in an easy way. Granted it is less than a day long, but it really feels good.

On the 9th Venus crosses into emotional Scorpio. The air gets chillier and we get shorter days. Scorpio is about taking emotions to their deepest levels. So airy Venus begins to dig in deep. Mercury follows on the 14th while the Sun is getting serious in a conjunction with Saturn. The mood has changed. What was the smell of autumn leaves is wet and rainy and makes you want to be inside by a fire.

On the 15th Venus opposes Jupiter, brightening things up a bit, on the 17th Mercury follows along to the opposition. Bringing in some new ideas.

On the 22nd the Sun trines Neptune with its inclination toward spiritual experiences. The Sun enters Scorpio on the 22nd bringing that Neptune energy into the emotional area. On the 24th.

Also on the 24th Mars, still happily in Leo, begins to square both Venus and Mercury. This might make the mood a bit grumpy. On the 27th and 28th the Moon joins the other three planets in Scorpio, on the 28th it conjuncts both Venus and mercury with the Mars square still in effect. Jupiter also opposes the Sun today, so I would expect moodiness to be everywhere. All kinds of moods from high to low.

 Samhain finds Venus and Mercury squaring Neptune, and Mars. It seems perfect for a time when the veil is thin between the worlds. Neptune is the perfect vehicle for this.

It is a strange land and cannot be seen through the filter of the known. It dissolves ego, to remove limitations and introduce the soul to a higher order of perception.

The effect being accomplished is a higher connection to the collective unconscious.
