Mon Oct 8- Sun Oct 15MoonWeek VIRGO thru SAGITTARIUS
Monday is the Virgo moon. This is the right energy to get the cave in order. Just a couple hours of flurry and you can live in the open space for a couple of weeks. Where ever the piles of paper, or leaves or clothes, dispatch them. It's as good as a long walk to get the stream of consciousness flowing freely. To flavor the whole week and especially the kNEW moon coming is Mars sextile Saturn and the Sun and Jupiter. These are 'glancing' aspects, the mix of Mars and Saturn could bring some warring precision to the surface. It will certainly be in the headlines but it doesn't have to be in your home. Look for sources of suppressed anger and frustration. With Mars in Cancer it's a few weeks that those issues could explode to the surface, so surveying them before they explode could avoid some embarrassment from overreacting. The Sun and Jupiter is a sweet thing, giving artists and all those using their creativity a burst of energy. It can set the tone for using the 'higher' part of yourself to clean and arrange your surroundings with the motivation of inspiring yourself and those you work with. Small efforts for the right reason can outweigh misguided energies poured out for the wrong ones. Tuesday the moon moves into the sign she will be new in tomorrow, LIBRA. A sweet passage every month but this is her new moon. There is a sense of diplomacy, a vision of seeing all sides to every conflict that Libra embodies. We can use this vision first with ourselves to listen to the internal critic without judgment. To be able to see the areas of ourselves we're working on in a different light. Making space to have some 'issue clearing' talks is valuable today and tomorrow morning. Get it in before the new moon, take some responsibility for what you feel and think. Life isn't happening to you, you are happening to IT!! Look hard in the mirror and see if those forces that you think are holding you back from being where, who or what you want are really external. They aren't. It's all you baby. Today you can take the harsh look with a big dash of compassion and the things you see can evolve for the next cycle. Jupiter is square Uranus today. This is a shake it up aspect that really casts its flavor out onto the new moon. Expansion by the way of invention. Going with the flow of evolution even if it rocks your boat is the only course. Change is just the nature of evolution, some are afraid of loosing where they are, some hesitant to go into an unknown future. All are going, so whatever your shyness to evolve, get over it. Start in small ways, hearing advice without being defensive. And if you're giving the advice try not to personalize it, look for ways of communication that display the options as a choice. Wednesday is the kNEW Moon. Around 10am here on the left coast of America. No matter if you booked meetings all day, have to manage dozens of tasks you still have the mental space to offer up your version of a prayer of gratitude and acknowledge that the lunar reset button has been pushed. Libra new moon is a powerful forgiveness moon; the first would be of course the person in the mirror. Whatever real or psychic felonies you may accuse yourself of today you get to wipe the slate clean and start over, learn those lessons and get down to applying that knowledge. Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune all are on the degree of the new moon so there is some strong social push on this one. Obviously our world is on a violent course, the crazier it gets the better the options of compassion and conflict resolution look. To pull these energies down and use them to feel like there is some space in your life for evolution is the most powerful thing we can actualize with it. To survey your intimates and from the heart clear out any dangling emotional cobwebs can make for a much more cozy and evolutionary season. These are great aspects to set some subconscious billboards up in your mind. Simple images and phrases that remind you of your deeper purpose, that simple one, to be a better human being. Thursday we have the wave of the new Moon washing over us. In the evening we get the famous and misunderstood, Scorpio Moon! Yes you can all reach for your sex toys but it's much much deeper then that. Scorpio does rule sexuality but it rules a lot of the deep, instinctive and hidden aspects of reality. Secrets get slippery and it's when we get the craziest and 'oh my gawd I can't believe it' style of headlines. Truth has gravity. It will make it to the surface. It's a good thing because many don't have a hunger for the truth. So if you don't go looking for the truth don't worry it will find you. It is best to discover it on your own power rather then be stalked by it. So we should all check the skeletons in the closet, maybe just opening the door on the closet and taking and inventory is a start for some. My grannie says lying is inefficient, you have now two things to remember, the truth and the lie told. It's tough enough just to remember the truth. The other side is that memory, or remembering, is chemically more powerful to the brain then the actual events. So if you don't revisit the truth and allow the thought to just overwrite your memory with a different version it's a slow core way to lie to yourself. Speaking of communication, MERCURY RETROGRADE TODAY. I wanted to be clear. This lasts through the rest of the month so time to start double checking the times of meetings, the agreed upon workloads, prepare for machines to exert their personality and generally have all communication run through the potential ricochet filter. For groups or artists working on long projects it's a great time to review where you're at, look over plans, scripts, blueprints, story boards and the like. Until the first of November the act of communicating is going 4-D. Friday we still have that special deep wine colored sizzle of the Scorpio moon in our world. Everyone is the sardonic cynic and the gallows humor is flowing. The best humor is in the most dire of visions or actions. To be able to laugh in the depths through the tears gives us the strength to dance through the daily trivial anxieties. Scorpio is an excellent sign for ritual. Whatever your form you can get out there with the help of the moon's influence. Meditate, run around the lake, spin your beads or rubric cube, and however you interact with the cosmos go for a session during this moon. Free of intent, just for the sheer blessing of being able to unify with the divine. The Sun is trine Neptune and will help in tapping into this area of spiritual connection, dream world and the like. The trine has both in air signs so it's deep connection that is turned on. This internal communication by all of us influences beyond spatial relationship, that is prayer isn't bound by a map. So it's a window to really send out the psychic food you want reality to feed off of. For most of Saturday and Sunday we still have the Scorpio moon. That vision to the inside. A surgical freeform look at others and ourselves. In these passages is when people on trains and buses, total strangers, may unload their deepest fears and anxieties. You may find yourself one of those people that in a brief conversation lay out your whole life. So we should take care to listen to yourself when this happens, if you're telling the story to someone you don't know so well maybe you're telling it to yourself. How we tell it is really more influential then how it really is. So listen for repetition of views that may be stale, need to be revisited and updated. You don't want to live that same old story so stop telling it and live something else. Venus and Saturn are conjunct today! It's a great thing, who else could soften up nasty Saturn but Venus. It's going to be a flavor for a few days and things initiated during this carry a special charge. In Virgo it brings down the celestial Venus energy and grounds it into basic bites we can all swallow. Mundane areas of reality, like economies, wars, real estate and land use can be infused with this cosmic desire for harmony. We can all absorb a big 'being full' of it, soak it up. It doesn't matter if the equation is you reflect the cosmic or it reflects you. If you don't think it's a pretty picture here is the opportunity to change it from your eyes.
