Astrolights October 2020

With Mars in opposition to the vernal equinox, we have our work cut out for us. We have been set against each other by people who are crazed with regaining power. With Mars retrograde in Aries, we are being reminded that we should be taking independent action and independently thinking for ourselves about how we are wanting things in our own personal world to be. Allowing the media to tell us what is true and what is not is like letting the weather determining how our body should digest its food. We must start thinking for ourselves and stop parroting external narratives. With that being said, let’s move on.

Our major transit this month in Pluto turning direct in Capricorn on the 4^th. Any issues dealing with authority and official business are now moving forward onto new ground. As the Moon moves to the first quarter in Cancer on the 10^th and Mars is still retrograde in Aries, this creates a T-square with the stellium in Capricorn emptying into Libra. Relationships come into focus and issues of balance, security and fairness will face tremendous stress. It’s important that we take our time, work slowly and evenly and listen to each other. Mars in Aries creates an impatient push to plow through whatever is being dealt with. Tempers may flare. Be patient with others and yourself.

On the 14^th Mercury will turn retrograde in Scorpio. It will create an approaching opposition to Uranus in Taurus. Anything involving resources and finances will fall into a push pull battle. Do not begin anything that will require longevity until Mercury turns direct on November 3^rd. When the Sun moves into Scorpio on the 22^nd, you will be able to see what can be done but will be unable to create any sense of consistency until Mercury finally goes direct.

On the 28^th both Mercury and Venus will move into Libra. This will allow us to start smoothing out some of the personal difficulties that have recently come up. When the Moon becomes full in Taurus on the 31^st, we should be able to see what tangible changes are set to come about. Be patient. October will be full of tension and erratic occurrences. Hold tight. After the election everything will break free.
