We begin this week on Monday, with the Waxing Crescent Moon in Scorpio conjoin Mars in Scorpio. Mars is comfortable in Scorpio and is providing us with passionate drive and energy for our truest desires at this time. We are coming off the New Moon Annular Solar Eclipse at 21 degrees Libra that peaked Sunday around 4am AEST. Whilst we are amidst Eclipse Season this week, things may feel especially intuitively guided, synchronistic and fated. The Future may be feeling in close reach, this energy is pushing us where we need to go regarding our own fated stories and paths in lives.
On Wednesday, the 18th the Sun in Libra will exactly meet with the South Node. The Sun Opposite the North Node in Aries will see a development of knowledge, resources, connections coming from the past. There may help coming through for assistance in personal crisis and through mistakes. Mercury will also conjoin with the South Node, and by default oppose the North Node this week on the 19th further reflecting intense guidance and focus on leaving the past in the past to move forward. These two transits are helping us move through the heightened Annular Solar Eclipse Energy that is shaking up our lives during this time.
We will be experiencing a highly Mercurial focus for our lives this week. On the 20th of October, this Friday Mercury will conjoin the Sun in Libra for the Mercury Cazimi at 26 degrees. This Mercury Cazimi will be providing balancing guidance and information for harmony in relationships. Mercury has been combust making things confusing and even explosive for communications at this time. At around 3:37pm AEST on Friday we will be gifted helpful guidance from Mercury and the Sun in Libra. These intuitive hits and feelings and impressions around coming through now, for the betterment of our relationships, where we are headed and what we are leaving behind in 2023.
We may be experiencing deep intense challenges during this time, as this Sunday the 22nd, we will have the Sun in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn. We are being asked to put in the hard work now for the betterment of the structures and foundations we have for our lives. We may be aware of how we have shifted in how we are responding to crisis and feeling encouraged to move forward even though things are harder than ever. This energy is intense but will allow us to reach towards more harmonious outcomes for all parties involved. The Sun is square Pluto at 27 degrees, look to your chart any planets at this degree, especially within the Cardinal signs, as these placements will be especially sensitive and feeling compressed during this time. Around 3pm on Sunday, the Moon in Capricorn will approach the 1st quarter square of this moon cycle, in the Cardinal signs which will put any crisis surrounding us on a pedestal, we will be unable to move forward without acknowledging this first.
Sunday will be a big day for us this week, as Venus in Virgo will also trine Jupiter retrograde in Taurus at 12 degrees in the afternoon. Venus in Virgo has been providing is with the correct details and effort we need to put into moving through the transitions that have been presented to us. Venus trine Jupiter is a highly protected and balanced energy, Venus may be nit-picky and controlling in Virgo, but with Jupiter retrograde helping here, we can sense and see the resources that can be used now to ‘fix’ this hyper-focus in relationships. We may be able to heal through what we have been shown needs to leave our lives, as the eclipse we just experiences was with the South Node, of what we are moving away from.
At around 5pm Sunday, the 22nd of October, Mercury will leave Libra to join Mars in the deep sign of Scorpio.
