On Monday, October 13 Pluto “turns on a dime” back to forward motion, as apparently seen from the Earth. It’s a pretty reliable indication of some significant shift in consciousness coinciding with some significant event.
According to myth, Pluto is the Roman form of the god Hades in the Greek version. Pluto is also the god of riches, and a lot of times Pluto seems to work through highly leveraged financial processes or principals, which have a very exclusive kind of effect on world affairs, i.e. wars, collapses, and various calamities.
This particular station direct of Pluto will be attenuated by several other planetary configurations, which makes me think there will be deeper emotional resonances occurring at the same time, i.e. there is a greater impact.
Wednesday, Oct 1
Venus at Perihelion (closest to the Sun)
Love, captivating delight, beauty. Intensions dangerous potentially, otherwise very motivated. Vet your facts, the devil is in the details.
(Mercury square Jupiter, Mars biquintile Neptune)
Thursday, Oct 2
Powerful emotional pulls and prods, but not everything is right simply because it’s powerful. Vaguely substantiated associations.
(Venus sesquiquadrate Pluto, Juno trine Neptune)
Friday, Oct 3
Buoyant Jupiter enters watery Cancer zone of the sky (sidereal), it’s exaltation, for the next 12 or so months. Greater happiness, security, and abundance are possible; at least the feelings thereof. Remember it is the mental blueprint and positive expectations that precede manifestations; not to mention determination and perseverance sustained. Break out of old molds, exercise innovation.
(Mercury biquintile Uranus)
Saturday, Oct 4
Inhibitions and predispositions but nevertheless joy in new associations and emotional vistas to inhabit. Venus, Juno and Uranus form an amazing fifth-harmonic configuration.
(Venus quintile Juno and tridecile Uranus, Mercury quincunx Saturn)
Sunday, Oct 5
Powerful connections brought about, not necessarily of the purest kind. Let your conscience be your guide.
(Juno sextile Pluto)
Monday, Oct 6
Aim for the ethical high road through this lower-vibe gauntlet. Do not let fuzzy logic lead you down to a place you will certainly regret.
(Sun tridecile Pluto, Mercury quincunx Neptune)
Tuesday, Oct 7
Full Moon
A split in the psyche, generally between the high and low roads of thought-action.
(Mercury square Pluto)
Wednesday, Oct 8
Moon at Perigee
Hesitation, doubt at first; but sometimes nothing works better than a good shot in the dark to clear the confusion with maybe some good results.
(Mercury biquintile Saturn, Mars tridecile Jupiter, Sun semisquare Uranus)
Thursday, Oct 9
Sometimes the only thing is to ignore defeatist, pessimistic internal and external noise and press on, persevering until success; which may take some time.
(Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn)
Friday, Oct 10
Important relationship junctures, perhaps burdened by problematical and delusory motivations.
(Sun semisquare Juno, Mercury biquintile Neptune)
Saturday, Oct 11
Love fails, life is called onwards.
(Venus opposite Saturn)
Sunday, Oct 12
No peaking influences
Mon-Tues, Oct 13-14
Pluto Stationary Direct
Last Quarter Moon
Not a good day, especially for those nursing emotional wounds, grudges, or resentments. We all really need to let go of these petty conditionalities we have upon each other. As Buddha said, holding on to anger/resentment is like holding on to a burning hot rock that burns your hand. Let go, or be self-consumed. In the seeming free-fall of the collapse of our emotional foundations, new opportunities for enlightened love spontaneously appear.
(Venus semisquare Mars and opposite Neptune, Mercury semisquare Saturn, Mercury tridecile Jupiter, Venus trine Pluto)
Wednesday, Oct 15
The Sun moves into sidereal Libra, the sign of its fall (debility), for the next 30 days. Power, authority and honor; the absences or excesses thereof, are highlighted. Seek to act with integrity and responsibility.
Thursday, Oct 16
No peaking influences
Friday, Oct 17
Audacity and being shocking, are not necessarily real solutions in themselves. Seek more reasoned and negotiated results, which may yield surprising results themselves.
(Mercury sesquiquadrate Neptune, Sun square Jupiter, Sun biquintile Uranus)
Saturday, Oct 18
Social, casual and cultured affairs are favored. Remember that tried and true saying, “more is less, less is more” in your dealings today.
(Venus quintile Jupiter)
Sunday, Oct 19
Delays and other inconveniences today may challenge your patience and/or confidence. Stop, reassess, reformulate, reengage.
(Sun quincunx Saturn)
Monday, Oct 20
Mercury and Mars conjunct, which can cause moments of anxiety, strife, or overexcitement; but the quintile they also make to Pluto takes it to the next level of human distress. Others, of the manipulative sort, make take that stress and use it against you.
Tuesday, Oct 21
New Moon
Orionid Meteor Shower, otherwise, no peaking influences
Wednesday, Oct 22
What seems true or relevant may merit better scrutiny. Motivational crisis, physical strength/energy may be vulnerable. (Sun quincunx Neptune)
Thursday, Oct 23
Moon at Apogee
Don’t settle, be yourself. Get ready for a revelation. (Sun quincunx Uranus)
Friday, Oct 24
The Big Expo/Demo/Solo. Lot of flourishes, but maybe little substance. (Sun square Pluto, Mercury trine Jupiter, Venus tridecile Pluto)
Saturday, Oct 25
Abrupt attitude challenges, thwarted momentum. Also, as Mars enters sidereal Scorpio (its rulership), the battle gets more entrenched. (Sun biquintile Saturn, Mercury trine Saturn, Mars enters sidereal Scorpio)
Sunday, Oct 26
Shifts in the emotional/relationship spheres. Shed your fears of social censure, self-consciousness, and conformity. (Venus sesquiquadrate Uranus)
Monday, Oct 27
Important lessons learned through relationships. Developments with older-younger/wise-foolish connections we form with people. (Juno tridecile Saturn)
Tuesday, Oct 28
Enthusiasm, but perhaps too optimistic. Need for practical applications. Motivation, determination falls short. (Mars trine Jupiter, Sun biquintile Neptune)
Wednesday, Oct 29
First Quarter Moon
Mercury Greatest Elongation opposite Uranus, trine Neptune
Potential for expanded luminous opportunities. Need for sustained concentrated work. (Mars trine Saturn trine Neptune Grand Trine)
Thursday, Oct 30
Subtle maneuvering. Seek the high road out of low places. (Mercury sextile Pluto)
Friday, Oct 31
Halloween
With the autumnal decline of the daylight, it would seem to mark the crossing over of the spirits of the afterworld to the physical world. Why not go out in costumes, knock on doors and shout “trick or treat”. That, or commence the harvest of the summer’s labors. Venus enters the sidereal sign of its rulership, Libra, for the next month or so. Experience more refinement and appreciation.
