We have a fair bit of astrological activity in October, so I'm breaking it down into suites. This post features the summary of the key points in the first suite. If you want a look at the more subtle flavors of this month, check out my Intuitive Reading on YouTube by clicking on the link. Feel free to share, here and there and everywhere!
And away we go...
Our big player, as I allude to in the title of the post, is Mars in Libra. The Action Planet is stirring up the collective energy as it finishes up its journey through Libra. It will be moving into Scorpio next week, and I will be covering that (along with more cosmic movements) at the appropriate time.
Back to this moment: today, Mars as the Activist is conjoining the South Node, also in Libra. As the South Node is about letting go and concluding, and Libra is about balancing the Scales, we don't need to look too far into current events to see this playing out in real time. Mars is all about swift and decisive, even aggressive, action, and I can see some of you nodding your heads in agreement. Expect more activity along these lines as we move through the week.
But wait, there's more...
Sunday (10/8), Mars is going to square Pluto Retrograde, which is at the tail end of its journey and will be stationing direct next week. Pluto is not quite back at the point where it was when it hit its Return position in the astrological chart of the United States (in February 2022), but if anyone is feeling a bit of deja vu while looking at current events, this is why.
What Pluto stirred up in its original journey through Capricorn is being stirred up again in its retrograde journey back through Capricorn. Then as now, Pluto challenges us: This is what is coming to the surface. What are you going to do about it? Mars in Libra amplifies this message, and offers some suggestions of its own. Depending on where Mars is in your natal chart, these suggestions will land differently in each of us. Yes, Your Results Will Vary.
Contributing to the overall flow, Mercury is joining Mars in Libra today. Communications may take on an extra aspirational and idealistic flair for a few weeks, with "higher" ideals coming to the forefront and being emphasized. In addition, Venus will be entering Virgo on Sunday, the same day as the Mars/Pluto square. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." is the flavor of Venus in Virgo, perhaps providing a bit of structure to contain some of the chaos unleashed from the square, a timely love note to remind us that we're still Lovely and Worthy when the mood of the moment might suggest otherwise.
I'll be back next week to discuss the second suite of cosmic movements, and I'll leave you with the song to go with the earworm suggested by the title of this week's blog. You're welcome. ;-)
