Coming off of the New Moon Solar Eclipse of last week, we may be reflecting on what went down and what to do about it. Luckily, on October 4, Venus the planet of pleasure, relationships and finances in the sign of Scorpio forms a stabilizing trine to Saturn, the planet of maturity and discipline in the sign of Pisces. This is a supportive energy when it comes to any of the feelings we may want to express (or may have already expressed under the new Moon) in our one-on-one relationships. Mars the planet of action in the sign of Cancer, recently also formed this easy aspect to Saturn on September 30, and is still close enough to offer a positive and motivating influence. Later in the week, Venus/Mars will create this easy aspect with each other as they move away from their trines with Saturn. In other words, if there are words you wanted to say to someone that didn’t land just right under the new Moon, this week is a great time to execute with depth, directness and clarity. If you have been wanting to get to the bottom of how you truly feel on a matter within yourself, this is also a great time to reflect. It is likely a clear conclusion can be found. If it is normally difficult to access the creative, feminine and feeling realms of life, this week is really holding our hand with encouragement to engage with that side of ourselves.
On October 5, Mercury the planet of communication in the sign of Libra will form a challenging square with Mars in Cancer and this is a moment where a discussion must be had based on our findings in recent events, especially in regard to relationships. Mercury in Libra is not always game to stir the pot, but somebody’s gotta say it, and that very well might be you. Mars in Cancer is holding down an emotional, passive aggressive energy, and could take whatever is mentioned personally. Will you play the part of Mercury or Mars here? How will you face a conflict or confrontation you didn’t plan for? Luckily, Venus is applying a trine to Mars, but from the sign of Scorpio, so this softens the impact, but we are not off the hook in regards to addressing the matter at hand.
On October 9, Jupiter the planet of expansion and higher learning in the sign of Gemini begins to form a supportive sextile to Chiron the planetoid of wounds, medicine and healing in the sign of Aries. This is another blessing in regards to tough conversations rolling throughout the week, and really throughout the month of October, as this aspect is active from Oct 1-19. We are invited to investigate our struggles and pain with simple curiosity. There is a key here to be found that unlocks a piece of our current expansion, the new level ups in our lives starting to take shape. Jupiter in Gemini offers social engagement for us to talk about current issues steeped in past wounds both personally and collectively. If you are offered a truly safe space to speak, write, or engage with others on some level about past pain, it is a beautiful opportunity to heal something, to move stuck energy, make necessary shifts, and above all - in perfect Gemini form - to learn something - with Chrion in Aries - about ourselves. Chiron in Aries has us on a journey to learn more deeply about our individual lives. What are the driving forces that truly motivate us? This time is rewarding those willing to try on new ways with potent healing potential. Try it.
On October 9, Jupiter in Gemini will station retrograde until February 4, 2025. During this time, our quests for higher learning and expansion turn inward. Set off the same day with supportive aspect with Chiron, we are sure to find metaphorical amulets for our own personal healing journeys should we stay curious and eager to explore.
