 October 7, 2010   2:44 PM EDT/11:44 AM PDT
Welcome to one more cycle of renewal and regeneration. Each month, at the time of New Moon we have an opportunity to set our intentions for the evolving lunar cycle ahead; we chart our course and set sail.  At the time of first quarter moon, we evaluate our actions and adjust our course if necessary. This cycle has Saturn influence powrerfully interwoven into the phases. Saturn creates structure, and steady growth. It also rules things that are old.

And, this month, the Full Moon illuminates the critical 29th degree of Aries. Last month opened the cycle of courage and initiative in the earliest 0 degree of Aries. Now, with the October lunation at 29 Aries, we bear the fruit of our skill in relationships. We also understand our skill in the critical aspecs of Aries. Lastly, this New Moon asks: what have you learned about give and take in relationships?  

In the early hours of the morning on October 8th Venus stations retrograde to begin her long journey into the underworld. From October 24th until November 4th Venus completely disappears from the evening sky, and this is the time of the mythological story of Inanna and Erishkigal. The goddess Venus is symbolically stripped of her adornments and left as just a hanging skeleton of bare bones- she gains the strength of Saturn which is committment and integrity. (READ MORE HERE)

On November 4th she returns as a morning star. The Maya generally considered Venus's first appearance in the morning sky as a good day for warfare; an early example of 'star wars.' This retrograde of Venus will prove frustrating to many of us who are eager to move ahead with our financial plans; things will not really expand until late in the year when Venus actually clears the shadow of her previous forward motion which is on Winter Solstice, December 21st! With Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune all in retrograde motion, the next months are best for cleaning up the past and strengthening that which is already in motion. 

I will close with a Mayan interpretation of the number 10. Those who follow the numbers of our Gregorian calendar ascribe a significance to the date 10:10:10 - Sunday October 10th. The Mayan Dreamspell  system considers the number 10 to be the Planetary Tone of Manifestation and perfection. The 10th tone is the point at which manifestation occurs. By having undertaken careful preparation all that remains is to focus on perfection.

"To decide to view yourself as a complete stranger, someone who has
just stepped ashore in your life is a liberating exercise. Gradually you
begin to sense the mystery and magic of yourself. You realize that you
are not the helpless owner of a deadened life but rather a temporary guest gifted with blessings and possibilities you could neither invent nor earn."

(John O'Donohue, Anam Cara, A Book of Celtic Wisdom)
