Week of Wednesday the 1st of October -Tuesday the 7th of October

Read your rising sign if you know it; or any other sign, as each of us has Aries, Taurus etc. someplace in our charts governing some aspect of our lives.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20) – Today is the 1st quarter Moon, the day when we see the Moon overhead at sundown. There is a push forward energy in the air, which you are good at, leading into next week’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. The weekend is tricky with Mercury stationing retrograde. You might have second thoughts about a financial commitment just made. If it does not feel right, you have time (3 weeks) to rethink  and rewrite better terms. 

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 21) – Any feelings of martyrdom that come up on Friday might push you to the limit over the weekend so that you can become your nemesis- a raging bull. Mercury the planet that governs what we think and say is making a station here too, to begin its 3 week retrograde period. You might not be quite ready for that relationship. There is still some self discipline to do. You will get back here again November 10th. No worries.

GEMINI (May 21- Jun 21) – Thank god you have these times off!! Mercury your ruler goes retrograde this weekend and the general feeling should be of exhaustion, retreat and hiatus. Stop whatever is going on between your ears for the next few weeks go back and do everything that begins with “re”..reorganize, redo, rewrite, redecorate, rework, etc..There might be a creative piece that you have dropped and need to return to; or a child needs additional attention. The weekend will be intense.

CANCER (Jun 21-Jul 20) – First Quarter Moon this week-between the New Moon of last week and the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of next week. You ought to be feeling the need to act on that new direction in your home life. With challenging Pluto involved this moving forward might be in a direction not of your liking, as it might upset your emotional centeredness.  Expect something to be revealed that you did not know was there, that needed to be aired and that causes you to rethink things at home.

LEO (Jul 20-Aug 22) –This is one of the 4 weeks of the year that your ruler the Sun runs into both Pluto (on Saturday) and Uranus (on Tuesday). Sudden power shifts are possible, as are eruptions of long and deeply held secrets or resentments; whose time has come to expose. With Mercury stationing retrograde also this weekend, these events will have to be processed slowly over the next 3 weeks. A new direction for growth within a relationship is possible but it will require you to think things through and trust your intuition.

VIRGO (Aug 22-Sep 21) – We are in a first quarter moon phase today which is very energizing as far as the monthly cycle goes-you might feel like a racehorse chomping at the bit.  However your ruler Mercury is stalling reminding you that there is something you forgot to include in last week’s new beginning. You have 3 weeks to remember, rethink, renegotiate the terms of that new partnership or endeavor that will increase your self esteem and hopefully your pocketbook. 

LIBRA (Sep 21-Oct 22) – Things cannot be more pleasant than those times, like now, when your ruler Venus and the North Node are in Libra (on top of the New Moon from last week); love and graciousness are in the air. The weekend gets a little bumpy with the Sun meeting the 2 big powerhouse planets whose role is to shakeup whatever part of us is stale. Mercury is also heading backwards for the next few weeks moving back into your sign to meet that beautiful Venus and the North Node on the 18th. The way forward will appear.

SCORPIO (Oct 22-Nov 22) – Mars is stirring up your finances house this week and moving into formation with  two other planets in fire signs. Your work life should be filled with great excitement and the potential for great success. The weekend is rough as Mercury begins its 3 week retrograde motion. Just when you thought you were ready to go public, there appears a fly in the ointment. Be cautious and read the fine print.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) – It is a great week to take a trip which your adventurous spirit loves; especially true since Mercury goes retrograde this weekend for the next 3 weeks. Give your mind and commerce a break. Your partner might be throwing you a curve ball (if you have one that is –being the freedom loving person that you are). All can be rethought or re-intuited on that yoga retreat. 

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan 20) – Your ruler Saturn is going over the same ground this week that was covered at the beginning of the year. Can you remember what was up for you then? Time is circular as the planets orbit around the Sun. At this First Quarter Moon week, heading into the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon next week, you ought to be ready to move ahead, especially as the Moon is in your sign today and tomorrow morning.  Caution and patience return over the weekend as affairs get disturbed both with Mercury beginning its backwards movement and the Sun meeting the two heavy planets where sudden power shifts are possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 20) – Friday and Saturday this week the Moon is in your sign; always a time of the month when we feel self assured. Mercury will start its 3 week retrograde motion Saturday at 1:00 PM. The intention to speak publicly will be thwarted. You will be back here again November 10th when the green light is on. Watch the fireworks this weekend. Unlock your hidden powerhouse.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 21) – The Moon is in your sign Sunday and Monday and your innate wisdom with its calming peace and faith in the future will come in handy after this weekend. There could be some souls in your world set adrift by the major planetary activity over the weekend. We are heading into a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse next week, the Sun meets the two heavy planets which symbolize “the gods” being active in our lives and Mercury beginning its 3 week retrograde period. For you personally it could be the “start of something big” (and suddenly financially rewarding).
