Weekly Forecast ~ Week of October 29th

​We start the week off with lots of energy in water and earth and as the week progresses we have Mercury moving into a fire sign and Venus moving into air which changes the overall vibe.  For people new to astrology it’s an interesting practice to observe the elements that are being activated at any given time. You can learn a lot about yourself through this process. I am mostly fire and air and when there is a lot of water energy sometimes I feel like I am floundering or just treading water.  But when we have a lot of air energy it’s like I have a buzz from all that energy. Pay attention for yourself and let me know how you feel under different elemental influences.

Monday October 29th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Cancer
Mercury Conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio

What it means:
Mercury and Jupiter are opposites.  Mercury likes to examine the details while Jupiter is all about the big picture.  When these two planets get together we have either polarities or we have an amazing balance between the two of them.  Ebertin says they represent “sound common sense, the intellect” and that is certainly something to strive for in this life.  Good ideas, to put it more simply. We have good, solid ideas and are capable of implementing them. So pay attention to what goes on in that head of yours today.  Sometimes we can think too much of ourselves under an aspect like this so also pay attention to whether or not those ideas you have come from a place of humility or from a place of ego.

Questions to ask:
What represents common sense to you?  In the situation you are in right now what would be the most positive and most logical course of action?


Tuesday October 30th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Cancer void-of-course at 9:31 PM CDT
Moon enters Leo at 9:42 PM CDT
Mercury enters Sagittarius

What it means:
Mercury is moving quickly.  Just yesterday we was in conjunction with Jupiter at the end of Scorpio and today he enters a new sign:  Sagittarius. It will take over a week for Jupiter to follow suit but he isn’t that far behind. With Mercury moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius we get a lighter feeling in the universal vibe.  Scorpio is a water sign and deep while Sagittarius is a fire sign and much flashier. So lighten up, have fun, and enjoy the change of scenery. Mercury remains in Sagittarius until

Questions to ask:
What are the most important things in your life and how can you delve into those areas more?  How can you develop stronger relationship with those closest to you? How can your intuition evolve?  What inspiration are you receiving today? Where are you too comfortable in your life? What changes can assist your personal growth?


Wednesday October 31st ~ Happy Halloween
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Leo
Venus Opposite Uranus
Venus Rx enters Libra

What it means:
Venus and Uranus in opposition give us a strong desire for independence and freedom.  We are also attracted to the unusual and even things and people that others might not appreciate or understand.  That’s okay … to be an individual we have to honor that which we are attracted to with style. This is the second of three passes of this aspect.  The first was back on September 12th and the final pass will be in just a couple of weeks on November 15th. One way to use this aspect is to figure out how to create more freedom within the context of an existing relationship.  Another way is to embrace to image of what you are into right now and dress up for Halloween. Be free to escape into another reality and have fun with it!

Later in the day we have Venus retrograde moving back into her home sign of Libra.  This is a welcome change of energy. Venus is Scorpio isn’t as comfortable with herself but in Libra she is in her natural state.  Venus has been retrograde since early October and we are working on reframing our relationships. This includes the relationship with ourselves as well as those with others.    So once she moves back into Libra it becomes all about balance.

Questions to ask:
How do I create more freedom and independence within the context of my relationships?  How can I acknowledge my love the weird things in life?

How can I create more balance in my life?  How can I invest in internal balance so that I can have more balanced relationships with others as well?


Thursday November 1st ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Leo void-of-course at 11:31 PM CDT

With only lunar aspects today we have a good opportunity to start the new calendar month off right without distractions.  Leo moon can be stern but ultimately wants to help others feel at ease. Think about how you can not only make yourself feel more at ease today but also extend that warm comfort to someone around you.


Friday November 2nd ~
Moon enters Virgo at 12:48 AM CDT

The Virgo moon is excellent energy for productivity and organization.  Wrap up the week right today by getting things done efficiently and be ready for an adventure this weekend.  Mercury (ruler of Virgo) is in Sagittarius (lover of adventures) right now after all.


Saturday November 3rd ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Virgo

With the moon in Virgo it’s a great day to go to a trade show or a hobby club.  Whether you like building model airplanes, larping, or are into astrology like me you can find a local hotspot to share your love of something with others.


Sunday November 4th ~ Daylight Savings Time Ends
What’s going on today:
Moon in Virgo void-of-course at 1:26 AM CST
Moon enters Libra 3:01 AM CST

We have another day with only lunar aspects which gives us the freedom to act more independently.  Do something you love today, with people you love, and you are going to be fine.
