Forecast OCT 14 to OCT 20

Wheee! NEW MOON Eclipse!! Yep, it’s a big deal. I feel like it is a major event on our journey through 2023. The SUN eclipses in LIBRA, squishing in with the SOUTH NODE (The past) and MERCURY (mind, thoughts, ideas, communications). It’s a rather PLUTO (power, shadow, the hidden/repressed and unconscious) compelled time as PLUTO is squaring all those planets in LIBRA one after another, forcing us to face the music of our shadows. MARS just explosively finished its Square to PLUTO too, and it’s just moved into SCORPIO, home sign of both planets now. More snags from the past might be brought up by the opposition of CHIRON to MERCURY over the next few days.   Challenging, yes but painful only to the degree we resist stepping up and dealing responsibly and compassionately with whatever arises. Its time to get to those dumpster fires in your life. Not with gasoline or also the expectation of quick resolutions. But a noble movement towards grace will pay off in times to come. It can and should be an opportunity to initiate or continue healing and strengthening our positions in life in some small or big way.  For some of us this will not be such a big deal and for some it may feel overwhelming. It very much depends on your chart and how you handle pressure.

Some aid is there too. MARS is closely trine SATURN stabilizing our reactions and helping us be more strategic, especially as the MOON does it too on Sunday, though hat can make us feel willful and stubborn too. Monday morning the Moon does an opposition to JUPITER then URANUS in the afternoon/eve requiring us to show a little restraint and patience despite our urges. Tuesday may be a bit confusing or uncertain while the MOON trines NEPTUNE and squares SATURN. There is actually a moment of possible loving and compassionate energy on Friday as the MOON forms a short Grand Trine with VENUS and JUPITER. Try to turn that into something lasting amidst all the chaos and corrections this week.

Its kinda crazy how MERCURY (speech, writing, communication, the rational mind, opinions) conjuncts the SUN + SOUTH NODE as it squares heavy PLUTO for the whole week. An eclipse to remember as there is a janky SOUTH NODE quincunx to NEPTUNE that goes on and on until December. It might be very hard to discern the truth or have clarity and consensus of opinion during the next few months. It will be risky it is to jump into hasty action based on what is likely confusion if not outright deception.

PS I wrote this before the tragic events in the world this week. WTF?!
