Compromise, Skepticism, and Preparing for Changes - Today's Astrology Chart and Forecast
Happy October! We continue to wish Libras a Happy Birthday, too.
It has not been easy for anyone having a birthday these last two cycles. Leos had Venus in retrograde for their birthday, and Libras have the South Node and Mars here, forcing losses and change.
If you’ve felt extremely frustrated by stale energy, these next 2 weeks heat up with multiple ingresses. An ingress is when a planet shifts signs. Changes in signs brings changes in our lives.
For today, we are feeling quincunx energy from multiple planets at 150 degrees from one another. This is not a square, but not a trine. It is an uncomfortable in-between energy that has both blocks and blessings. You see where you want to go, you see it is possible, but there are some hurdles along the way.
For example, Capricorn risings may have the urge to move to a new place, but packing, financial paperwork, finding the right place, and a lot of unsure “what-if’s” are in the way. Pay attention to these quincunxes for clues to your path forward, while remaining patient in the struggles.
Around midnight last night, Mars in Libra made a quincunx to Uranus in Taurus. There is a desire to live life differently than regular society. Uranus carries genius energy. It’s the smart ones that always end up living by themselves in a cabin in the woods. This quincunx is bringing, “There’s gotta be more to life” and “I’m done with the way things are,” feeling.
With both Libra and Taurus ruled by Venus, it’s possible love relationships are where we are thinking these escapist thoughts. The problem with Uranus relationships are their lack of longevity and stability. They are fun, electric and exciting, but be careful you don’t get burned. Think things all the way through—many days, weeks, months and years ahead.
Mars in Quincunx to Uranus:
This aspect also brings in potential for accidents. Live life differently, but with a firm sense of moderation, forethought for the long game, and caution in words and deeds. “Safety First” this week, as this aspect is here for the next few days.
The Sun makes a quincunx to the Moon at 11:05am, bringing a feeling of moodiness to our mid-morning hours. This is another clunky match-up between Taurus and Libra. These two understand each other, as both are ruled by Venus. However, Taurus is stable. Libra is flighty. There is a sense of frustration and fasciation with one another. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, so she wins the game against passive aggressive Libra today. Libra, with the South Node visiting for the next year, is given practice in letting it go. Compromise today with yourself, families and partnerships. Don’t make a mountain out of it.
This evening, at 9:24pm, Mercury makes a quincunx to the North Node. Be careful what you say. There could be misunderstandings and miscommunications. Those Virgo details really enrage an Aries that wants to plow through and get things done. Tread lightly.
Thankfully, Jupiter conjuncts the Moon at this point for a more optimistic and kind-hearted mood. This makes for a great evening.
Avoid those religious fights tonight and into this week, though. It is not worth it.
These next few days, especially, now that Mercury is in opposition to Neptune, be wary of any discussions of opposing view points. There is cloud of deception around communication. Reality, fact, opinion and lies are all woven together for deep confusion.
Tap into the highly intuitive and perceptive energy gifted with this difficult aspect. Pause and think—what do your instincts tell you? Either people are not being honest with you, you are not wanting to hear the truth, or there is information you need that you cannot get right now. Don’t commit to one side. Don’t sign contracts.
Mercury opposite Neptune:
Communications aren’t clear. Two truths and a lie.
DON’T:
Sign Contracts.
(If you must, have a backup, an out, and lots of outside help researching first. Watch for water leaks, flooding and damage on any houses; check basements.)
DO: Creative Writing
Be ready for alien stories, religious fights, war propaganda, and psychological operations.
Looking at all of the retrogrades, hard aspects and near misses between Mars and Venus, this eclipse on October 14th is holding on to a lot of potential energy. People are feeling frustrated, neglected, stressed, and repressed.
Keep prayers going for spiritual protection and guidance. Help transmute whatever occurs in your life during eclipse time—and the world—into a force for good.
Blessings to all-
Clara
