LUNAR ECLIPSE OCTOBER 2023

On October 28, 2023, we will be experiencing a Lunar Eclipse. In the Toronto area it will be a partial eclipse reaching maximum at 6:10 p.m. EST. The Penumbral Lunar Eclipse begins at 2:01 p.m. (not visible in our area) and ends at 6:26 p.m. (which will be close to the horizon in our area).

 

The Lunar Eclipse will occur at 5° in the sign of Taurus.

 

All eclipse’s suggest heightened energy and with the Lunar Eclipse, in particular, the energies suggest a time of releasing and endings. It operates like a super-charged Full Moon and will create major changes and the finality of what has been in play for approximately the past 6 months.

 

Because it is in the sign of Taurus (a fixed, earth sign) it often speaks of material or objective matters. You will need to go slow but be steady in your approach. This is not the time to rush into situations. Be practical and make sure that over-spending is not part of the scenario as you may want to buy expensive things on impulse or spend money when you likely should not.

 

When these energies are working well, although the Lunar Eclipse is attached to endings of some sort, there is often an advancing stage in the evolution of what is unfolding now in life. The area of life affected by this positioning will depend largely on where Taurus 5° is found in your birth chart (which house) as well as any planets in the natal chart or current transits that are affected by this position.

 

There is an opposition coming from Mercury and from Mars so in many cases this suggests that others are involved in the equation.  Taurus is a very sensual sign and perhaps some interchange with an individual has the potential to unfold or the relationship moves to its next stage. This could include an ending of sorts such as the end of a sexual union, or, perhaps on the other side of the coin, the end of a platonic relationship that morphs into a sexual relationship.

 

Oppositions are not overly pleasing exchanges, and some friction might be involved. This can be a time of great change but not without some type of hard work or interaction that is not unfolding in your favour. Others may play a clear part in what unfolds. Relationships of all kinds might be part of this.

 

The energies may take several months to completely unfold, but you will often notice that during the week or two prior and the first month following the eclipse is often the peak time for the experience defined by the positioning within the birth chart.

EVENT PLANNING

As our readers know, we always run deep, so when we refer to “event planning” we are not talking about planning a party or social gathering. You likely didn’t expect that anyway. We are referring to reflecting on life to this point and planning or implementing and maneuvering our way forward. The future will be event oriented; we can always count on that.

 

Reviewing your life’s road map so far, may provide an inclination as to where life might lead you next. Perhaps it has been about raising a family and building a future that will incorporate what is needed for times ahead. This may include financial planning, organizing your environment or working towards building a name for yourself in the corporate world, or it may be simply building on what is already in place.

 

Material living is important as we do live in a material world, even though you may feel that spiritual life is much more relevant than material sustenance. Spirituality is important but it is important that although our vision may be spiritual, we are also very connected to this worldly life. We are here and for a reason!

 

We can live day by day and not worry or be concerned about the future. Certainly, all we have is this very moment, in reality.  There is still everyday living which does incorporate the concerns connected to survival, health, financial security, etc.

 

No matter how important the material side of life is, in my opinion, spiritual connectedness is more relevant. Life in many ways looks after itself, but our evolutionary path is enhanced by the way we live our lives. If we are solely focused on material advancement or material “lacks”, this is what our life will be. If we are mindful and appreciative enough to put this focus on a less important priority so that we can work on ourselves first and foremost, then the focus moves in that direction and awareness takes place.

 

There is no escaping the reality of our material world, but we can purposely participate in the on-going process of self-enlightenment and spiritual evolution. If material wealth was so important, I personally believe we would be able to take that wealth with us when we transition.

 

No material benefits carries forward so these benefits are transient. What likely will matter as we prepare to pass over is who we are, how we have treated others, the love we have received and given (shared) and how far we have grown with enlightenment and clear understanding.

SUN IN SCORPIO

On October 23, 2023, the Sun moves from the Cardinal Air sign of Libra into the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio. We will speak primarily to those people with their Sun in Scorpio. On a different level this post can apply to those with their rising sign in Scorpio or for those with planets and/or MC in the sign of Scorpio.

 

The tendencies we will discuss will primarily have to do with Sun in Scorpio but as the T Sun moves through Scorpio and touches the other influences in the chart, it will have a much lessor impact but still have some affect in the areas of life indicated by the house position and the planetary energies indicated by the planets involved.

 

The Sun moves one degree per day so its influence in other placements besides the solar return (which speaks of the Sun coming back to its original placement in the natal chart) will only last for approximately 5 days. Its influence will likely be minor unless other planetary placements also enhance these positions.

 

Those with their Sun in Scorpio are deep and introspective individuals in general. They reflect on life and find meaning along the way by digging deep for the truth. They love the mysteries of life and love to find answers that lie under the surface. They are intense and often quite sensual. Their appetite for learning about the mystical side of life runs deep.

 

There is something mysterious about the average Scorpio individual and often they keep at least a portion of themselves private or hidden. They often are inclined however to know what goes on deep inside of others. Like Cancer and especially Pisces, they are feeling people and although they use their intellect to dissect life’s matters, they often go by instinct and their intense feelings. Quite often they know without being told. In some cases, this perceptive ability can make others uncomfortable. Scorpio individuals can find others who do not find it necessary to hide any part of themselves quite fascinating.

 

Scorpio may have a bad reputation for their sexual behaviors or for being sneaky or deceiving. Some Scorpios do have these characteristics, but in general, these latter type Scorpios are less evolved. This personality type is known as the scorpion while those with clear insight and intuitive perception are what is referred to as the eagle. Their insight can be profound, and when they learn to open up and not withhold the knowledge that they gain through life’s experience, they can open the doors for others seeking enlightenment.

 

Transiting Mercury will influence the transit of the Sun in Scorpio roughly to the end of October, 2023, enhancing the mind and communication techniques. Transiting Mars meets up with the Sun in the final stages of the Sun passing through Scorpio and Saturn will be in opposition to the early degrees of Scorpio, but we will touch on these influences in our next Astrology post.

 

Happy solar return to our Scorpio readers.

PLUTO SQUARE MERCURY

As mentioned in a previous post Transiting Pluto went direct on October 11, 2023. Today we will While in retrograde, it might have made an aspect to your natal Mercury and now may return and make an aspect again.

 

Today, we will focus on Transiting Pluto square Natal Mercury.

 

If Pluto does make a square to your natal mercury and if this is the first contact by square you can think of this time as an intense period of re-evaluating the whole thinking process which might have you wondering about the knowledge you have accepted as truth for some time now.

 

Your ideologies and concepts may go through intense transformation under this aspect. Because we are speaking about the square aspect, this period (often long lasting) can not only be intense but also quite disruptive and challenging. Conflicts can arise about your beliefs and others may insist on changing your mind. At the very least, you should review your ideas. This is especially true if there are opposition aspects from other transits currently or oppositions to this point in the natal chart.

 

As mentioned, your thinking process is going through transformations, and this is a good time to review your belief structures and make sure they are built on solid foundations. It is most likely that you will experience changes that affect you in personal ways and that your pattern of thinking adjusts. This can apply to self-knowledge and the control you have in life because of your beliefs.

 

Don’t worry about what is taking place as you will find that although this might be a tumultuous period lasting about 2-3 years, the changes that are now taking hold will lead you to where you need to go. The thought process needed some challenges to push you out of complacency. Now you are ready to open doors that might otherwise have been closed due to closed mindedness or fixation from the past.

 

The outer planets, which seem somewhat fated, will push us ahead because change is now necessary. The actions because of their energies can be very disruptive, even causing conflicts and confrontations with others but the potential outcome from the challenges put us in a better position for moving forward.

NEED OR FOCUS?

Are you at a place in life where change is a requirement, and you are ready to make these changes?

 

Change indicators are set in place when life has gone stagnant. You have a new lesson to learn, or you have become complacent with your life situations. Life is now pushing you forward because it is time to move forward.

 

Sometimes taking the necessary steps can be challenging. Perhaps you are in your comfort zone. You might even be a little uncomfortable because you really don’t know where this change will take you. Due diligence is a prerequisite, as it is never suggested that we jump into something “sight unseen”. Planning, preparation and setting a positive attitude is always necessary; however, overthinking is not beneficial either.

 

There are turning points in life when life just seems to lead. Sometimes there is little choice to be made, and we need to go with the flow. In many cases because of the uncertainty, we hold on to what is comfortable. We refuse to budge, and fear or anxiety sets in.

 

If we need to change course and we know it, perhaps now is the time, especially if we have been examining the situation or contemplating a move for an extended period.

 

Sometimes our focus can push us one way or another. Focus creates emphasis and your concept of what needs to change might not be as drastic as you think.

 

Transformation on some level is evident even if it is only through focus and intension. Don’t forget your focus and belief structures slowly mold over time and grows when we concentrate on anything.

 

Sometimes life leads the way and other times we are drawn deep into situations because that is all we think about. Your prime objective should be to move in the direction you actually need to go. Is it need or focus?

TRANSITING JUPITER SEXTILE NATAL VENUS

Transiting Jupiter moves through each sign in approximately one year therefore taking 12 years to complete a full cycle through the zodiac.

 

T. Jupiter moves into retrograde (appearing to move in a backward motion) once a year. During its retrograde cycle, it can make aspects to planets or angles up to three times, making these aspects from Jupiter more relevant.

 

Jupiter is the planet of good luck, expansion, growth, and easy flow. Its energies are what we wait for and in many cases good things happen (although when we are having an extended difficult time, it can exaggerate what is already in place). E.g. If someone were to have terminal health conditions, Jupiter’s energies can influence the situation to end the suffering. Jupiter’s energies are in place to expand situations.

 

A sextiles aspect indicates opportunities. When Jupiter is in sextile with natal Venus, it can bring good opportunities for a romance to blossom and go to the next level. Perhaps you have been involved in a relationship that seems promising and now you become engaged. Good, easy flow comes your way. Unlike the Trine aspect, however, with the Sextile, you should put energy into the situation for it to go to the next level.

 

Venus is about love, affection, romance, sex, finances, and social energies. All of these can be part of the conditions in place although much will depend on the area of life involved (determined by the houses involved in your chart). Check where T Jupiter and your N Venus are located, as well as the natal position and natal (aspects) to Jupiter’s place in the birth chart. This will give you further information.

 

E.g. T Jupiter moving through the seventh house (relationships, marriage partner or business associates) while N Venus is in the fifth house (children, romantic involvement, and the enjoyment of life) while N Jupiter is in the second house. This could refer to a romantic relationship with your partner moving to the next level and affecting your children or the children of your partner. Security is enhanced because of the combined income now being generated.

CLEANSING OUR SOUL

This title was specifically chosen to draw your attention.

 

In reality, the soul does not need cleansing. It is the human portion of our being that might be in need of some cleansing. By “cleansing” we mean the need for thoughtful change.

 

Let’s sit down with ourselves and examine our lives. Are we living in harmony with our long-range plans for spiritual growth?

 

We are not referring to attending church or living according to religious beliefs (this is not to say you shouldn’t be practicing these. We must do what feels right our core.). What we mean “Are we living according to our own specific principles and to enhance our growth?”

 

We are connected and aligned with our soul’s purpose; no matter how the picture looks at present. We are meant to go through everyday situations and to experience the moment even through difficult lessons, but if there are undesirable events/situations next to us, we have the option of distancing ourselves if these are separate from us.

 

On a regular basis, it is important to take an inner evaluation, and with intent, make change where change is needed. When being honest with ourselves, we open the door to growth. We don’t need cleansing, but we may require realignment with our intensions.

 

We can move in whatever direction we wish, but in all sincerity, is it not best to move in a direction that will suit our evolutionary quest?

 

One step at a time! The old saying goes “Rome was not built in a day”. Self-understanding is very beneficial. Cleansing Our Soul, why not start now?

SOLAR ECLIPSE

On October 14, 2023, we will experience a Solar Eclipse at 21° in the sign of Libra.

 

Anyone with planets or angles within three degrees of this placement in their natal chart, either by conjunction or opposition or to a lesser degree by the other major aspects will be influenced by this eclipse. Check the placement of this eclipse along with the aspects it makes, and the natal configurations attached to this position in your chart. Natal potential will give a clear understanding of the energies in place and their potential in your specific case. Each chart will have different dynamics in place and although the energies of a Solar Eclipse often bring the same conditions into life, the areas of life will differ from person to person.

 

Solar Eclipses, although quite different from a Lunar Eclipse, often signify the likelihood of some form of stress or in some cases a crisis. With the Solar Eclipse, there is an indication of the initial stages or beginnings where there are opportunities, although we are often hard-pressed because what we feel comfortable with in our life, now has changes in place. These changes can be quite vast and will be defined by the placement of the solar eclipse in the chart. What is now in place (beginning phases of this transformation or alteration) will set the theme for the future, some six months ahead, although many Astrologers believe the influence of these solar energies lasts much longer than six months.

 

There is a sense of destiny in place often with karmic indictors and in this case related to relationships of significance because of the influence of Libra. As mentioned, this Solar Eclipse is at 21° Libra. This can be a time of balancing and creating harmony in the sphere of relationships. Harmonizing is especially essential, and it is important that we also check the opposite house (Aries) to see which other area of life will be affected. If there are planets in your chart at this position (21 degrees give or take 3 degrees of influence) this placement will also be affected by this event.

 

E.g. Someone with their Neptune in the tenth house conjoining this placement with the eclipse at close proximity, would have indications of spiritual evolution or psychic indicators that would pertain to the career path or goals and aspirations. Neptune would evoke something connected to the psychic realm or some spiritual offerings. This will also affect the home and family because of the fourth house location in opposition to the tenth house placement of this eclipse. The tenth house alignment would be where this Solar Eclipse makes its mark.

 

What is the influence in your chart?

PLUTO GOES DIRECT

Today, October 10, 2023, Transiting Pluto moves into its direct motion. Pluto has been in retrograde since May 2, 2023.

 

This will be the time for those individuals who have a planet or angle either Conjunct Pluto’s position (27/28° Capricorn) or in Opposition to this placement to go through some important changes and major transformations. The Square, Trine and Sextile aspect also have influences on this position but the Conjunction and Opposition are the most powerful.

 

When Pluto goes direct is a time when you can move ahead with any issues that might have been buried or left on the back burner. You should move ahead with these matters, bring things to the surface and face the matter, even if it is hard to face. Pluto’s action can be intense and feel fated on some level, but insight is often very powerful when we deal with matters of this kind.

 

If a relationship is what this speaks about (check house position for area of life) then it can mean new beginnings or endings that should have taken place long ago. Pluto is literally about death and rebirth and these endings, if this is the case, are likely total and complete. You will want to confront any part of yourself that needs facing or changing. These innate character traits may not be comfortable to face but this will bring a sense of power you may not have experienced before. Do what needs doing and life will take you to where you need to go.

 

It is time to be honest with not only yourself but also with others. Let the cards fall where they may. Honest self-reflection can change the course of your life and there may be no halfway measures about this. It offers psychological and, in some cases, spiritual insight and you may meet someone who helps you with this process or in the case of the opposition pushes you to confront your darkest secrets. This is not a time to be easy on yourself. It is a time of realization and confrontation and then healing can take place. Sitting back is not a good idea at this time and you may not have a choice when the veil begins to lift.

 

As mentioned, the areas of life will be indicative to the houses involved and the energies in place will correspond to the merging of the planets/angles involved in the aspect. You can give yourself about a 3 to 4° orb of influence. It will also be important to look at where your natal Pluto is situated and the aspects to it as this will give you further insight.

PERSONAL INVESTMENT

Recently, have you been reaching your objectives?

 

What are your expectations, and do they align with what is possible?

 

Are you willing to do what is necessary to reach your goals?

 

Reaching our goals certainly depends on our investment in getting there. Many unwittingly fear reaching their goals. They subconsciously question their worthiness. Take a deep look to see if this applies to you.

 

Alternatively, do you fear not reaching your goals?

 

Why do you question your abilities?

 

Failure is in the mind only. If we do not reach our goals, we are learning valuable lessons and creating steppingstones to move forward. The time and the effort are not wasted. We are not only learning about our goals, but we are recognizing more about ourselves and our abilities. The latter is just as important as the goals we seek.

 

We always must give our all with no half measures. Be responsible for your efforts, but we can’t always control outcomes due to circumstances beyond our control. If we believe we will fail, we are creating a self-prophesy. Believe in yourself first and foremost.

 

In life the things that truly matter can take work. We will not always reach our goals, but in all cases, we will learn from our experiences, and we can build from there.

 

Inner strength is always gained if we look at life from this perspective. Our alignment with life is certainly influenced by our attitude and our efforts.

LIFE’S TEACHINGS (Lessons)

We have all heard the old saying that the hard lessons are the ones we remember. During the smooth times it seems there are few lessons to learn but why is this so?

 

Do we just float through the good times without recognizing they are blessings?

 

Can we learn from our positive experiences or does life have to be challenging for us to recognize our lessons?

 

If we realize how fortunate we are and appreciate our life’s experience (challenging or not), lessons are still being taught. We know the value of appreciation. We recognize the abundance that flows from these periods and are grateful. This too is a valuable lessons and teaches us to appreciate what life sends our way.

 

Let’s give the same amount of focus to these easy flow periods as we do to our challenging periods.

 

In knowing and understanding that the flow of life does change with the amount of focus we give to certain events in our lives, it is important to pay closer attention to what we refer to as “good times”.

 

Energy grows and focus builds. I believe we have acknowledged a valuable lesson today!
