23RD As the Sun moves father south and darkness descends within seasonal climates the plants die back and life's promise is to be found in the seed or perennial root. This happens during Scorpio contributing to its rulership over death and endings. The land is chilled for its time of hibernation; a time of rebuilding and recreating in the zone of transformation. Nothing ever remains the same, whatever rises will set and whatever sets will also rise. We must know our dark side to make the most of our light. This sign promotes getting into our own and other people's psychology. Boundaries are ignored and barriers are surpassed to do so. We will find that obsession and compulsion reside here.

 

Psychic receptivity is high but so are complex motives, suspicions and competitiveness. With increased powers of observation and penetrating insight we get a chance to see what we would otherwise miss. Fiery passions are volatile. Those who exploit Scorpionic energies to their benefit are karmically responsible for the consequences they create for themselves. There is a great deal of power to be accountable for. We do not need to attach ourselves to living to see the day for revenge; simply move on to better more positive directions and leave such people to fall to their fate.

 

Very quickly Venus has occasion to enter Scorpio following the Sun to the delight of all Scorpios celebrating their birthday month. It will create intense feelings and deepen relationships. We develop a fascination for intriguing adventure. There is opportunity to release suppressed passion. This really heightens the senses. A compulsion that becomes exaggerated can be obsessive and addictive. We are drawn to taboos. The shadow side of our personality is stimulated. Possessive or controlling influences create complications and difficulties. Strong and powerful experiences reverberate to the core of our being. We are magnets drawing people to us who respond to the deepest part of who we are. If we anticipate rejection our hearts close up. This increased sensitivity can make some people paranoid. Conspiracy theories are generated.

 

The Moon enters Scorpio joining Venus and the Sun creating a Solar Eclipse. Gee what more can happen to encourage those born under Scorpio to think their life is about to change? This Eclipse is wildly expansive and conservatively contractive with all points between being universal. It is a great mix to blend. We incorporate a new vision to fix what is broken, create new systems where they are flawed and to get focused on a set of reasonable objectives. People are helpful; they bring us luck and opportunity. See the individual sun signs for more.

 

24TH A pet project or an objective we consider "our baby" is in a fledgling stage soon to enter the next phase of accomplishment. While on some levels it is ready to leave the development nest; it is hard to let it take that step. Fussing over every nuance we can be defensively protective and feel threatened by outside intervention. This is a fruitful and fertile energy that fosters nurturance and giving care. By adjusting our receptors to allow concepts unique to our consciousness we can invest our energies in the impulses we experience.

 

A headstrong wilful child will be asserting their need for independence. The more controlling, dominant and assertive the parent is the greater the counter reaction from the child. Parents can see this as a threat which generates a fierce reaction. In some children we may witness the release of repressed anger. It will be diffused and dispersed. If we need to take on a battle or advocate a cause we have the activist paradigm to call upon.

 

Sometimes the metabolism or electrical system of the body can create trouble. It may be dietary or simply nervous anxiety; in one way or another there can be a misfire and misdirection of energy which affects the health. We need to consider this if the behaviour of our children is affected. Not all foods can be digested and assimilated by everyone and more frequently we run in to allergic conditions. There is a natural push-pull to family bonds as there is a balancing between closeness and freedom in all of us. Social change and universalising trends leaves us in the wake of continual discovery. This is a good time to try different or exciting things. Try introducing new foods, veggies, herbs or plants to children. The rules and role need to be realigned by adults and children alike.

 

25TH Over the next few days Mercury will be resuming direct motion. It is a little wobbly at first and can lead to great swings in our state of mind. It is difficult to nail down a decision although it can always be done. We go back and forth over the wide spectrum of reconsideration to get there. So we must get grounded and objective before pushing forward. Then we will push forward with some thrust. Resourcefully managing our time means being sure before we leap. Retracing our steps in some way or another gives us an additional chance to redefine our plan. The mind is open and scanning for whatever rings true as relevant. We are willing to listen to the beat of another's drum; comprehend another's way of interpreting and be curious about how another weaves the experiences of life into higher understanding. That is positive.

 

26TH  When Mars enters into Capricorn it begins to pick up on the energies of Pluto. Be aware of how these powerfully dominant forces express themselves both within us and in others. These energies can border on abusive if we are not mindful of our thoughts, words and actions. Capricorn is the management tool that serves with responsibility. Pluto has been deconstructing and reconstructing the global economy, commercial structures or systems and government as well as every one of us since January 26, 2008. When Mars and Pluto teamed up in 2012 it let loose waves of tumultuous transformation and metamorphosis. We have been in the soup buffeted by the shockwaves and gasping for air when we surface. This trigger point lets us know the final two part act of the earth-changing cycle is coming. One will be in December and the last in March.

 

On its own in Capricorn Mars makes us more ambitiously willing to work hard to reach real and important goals. It gives us the discipline and perseverance to use our energy to achieve tangible results. Our courage will build and it will lessen the worry and fear we have been plagued with. With greater courage our focus can turn to career, training, education, status or improved position. Our values in Capricorn are conservatively attached to income levels and social prestige unless we are personally committed to a higher cause. With Pluto we can empower ourselves to become strong

 

I do not like to focus on negativity but this combination can also manifest in the "power play" or a power struggle. The enforcer comes out in everyone if we let it. We can expect to see an increase in violence. Be safe and stay away from criminal or lynch mob activities.

 

27TH The Crescent Moon suggests that it is steady as we go. Opportunities and advantages are opening for us. Committed to what we take on we make impressive advances toward a successful end result. With an open mind to in the moment impromptu course directions we steer ourselves in meant to be directions. Our weakness is our nervousness; it does not help to feel anxious especially when we are also confident. The secret to good health is to keep the spirit up. When we let down our guard we come under attack. Boost immunity.

 

My Ceres is in Sagittarius and I can attest to the fact that knowledge, wisdom and adventure will be nurturing now that Ceres has crossed into that sign. We will experience the open horizons of caring for others. If anyone is setting out on a long journey it will be nurturing. For those taking up a new subject of study, it will be nurturing as well. We seek what we need to move forward. Our philosophy and belief system gives more meaning to our lives. For those wandering aimlessly, without direction or in a meaningless and purposeless undertaking it will be self-acceptance and faith that will move things forward. We inspire others with our advice or instruction. We expand our own lives through teaching.

 

28TH A great four year cycle is coming to a close. We seriously need to look at the baggage we have remaining, if any. It is time to lighten our load so we can walk briskly along a future path. What commitments do we continue to uphold? We are able to narrow our goals and broaden our awareness. We are strong, confident, focused, intense, passionate and willing to make personal sacrifice. It is our goal to get rid of interference so we can pursue the total commitment of our choice. There is a destructive side to these energies as well as a healing side. We can be more than obsessive perhaps borderline fanatical. Certainly we can see ourselves in the reflection of those we are drawn to or in the people who are drawn to us. In some form we learn the ways of power.

 

30TH We are left feeling laid-back and peaceful. Telepathic capabilities enrich the intuitive faculties. By osmosis we absorb, perceive and know at a deeper level. Dreams are alive with fantasy. For most people this will be a transcendental sensitivity giving us a compassionate and protective turn of mind. Faith and spirituality help us. There is strength and balance available as well. Enhanced appreciation of music, arts, colour, photography, film, healing or spirituality boosts the imagination. Inner vision can be profound. We are more aware of the cultural side of life. Increased interest in a cause or social action motivates involvement. For some this lowered energy field lowers the body temperature giving way to thyroid issues or depression. People who overwhelm us drain our energy. We are picking up too much from our external environment.

 

It is the First Quarter Moon and we are not at all up for a test or challenge. We are looking to have fun, seek adventure, satisfy our curiosity and spend time with our children. Pleasure is the prospect while work responsibilities have to bne satisfied. It is hard to concentrate, the mind is fickle and moods are contrary. It is easy to say that productivity is at a low. Not a good time to make investment decisions. If someone gets angry with us it is because we are standing in the way of their fun.

 

31ST Happy Halloween or Hallowe'en, also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve

 

1ST All Saints' Day, also known as All Hallows, Solemnity of All Saints, or Feast of All Saints

 

Idealism is not always realistic. Our expertise is not always superior. We are not always able to perform at top ability. It is okay. We must not demand more than is reasonable. Let go and let be. Our decisions are riddled with dilemmas. Flashbacks shift our new experience. We must be very still so we can magnetically attract the guidance we need. By integrating our feelings with our ideas we become stronger in mental acuity. Then innovation presents a wide range of choice and interest. Nothing is black and white. Long standing beliefs are altered. Life patterns are untangled. The purpose is so we can be more whole.

 

This is a beneficial time for meditation, seclusion, retreat and retirement. There is greater peace available to the heart and soul. This is excellent for writing projects or communications. More in touch with our senses dreams are vivid. We develop understanding, technique, skill, talent, self-expression and social grace. We identify detrimental ego drives for self-gratification. We receive enlightenment in a practical manner. We are more receptive, sensitive, imaginative, creative, perceptive and intuitive. Physical energy is low but mental perception is heightened. Life is unfolding as it will. Doors are opening; success comes through cooperation or universal involvement. Fulfilment comes through our activities. We act on our resolve about ideals and causes. It is the calm before the storm. Make the most of it.

 

While it may feel like things are falling apart, they are actually falling together in a serendipitous way. Multi-dimensional expansion and reshaping comes through unusual experience, realisation and adventure. Insights alter the capacity of our mind and we have to remain detached, emotionally removed and objective to let things go and break away. Flaws or weaknesses are revealed, some in electrical or transmissions. Refocusing beyond the ordinary our analysis depersonalises the situation. Careers are in a state of flux. Some can be bored. Others can be motivated to find their original career niche. A little tension or change increases discussions about work.

 

2ND Daylight Savings Time EndsToo much exuberance can be problematic. Action packed courage needs to have somewhere to express itself purposefully. The ego and our ambitions want to do things in a big way, larger than life. Wilfulness is not empowerment. We over react, jump to conclusions and are given to assumption all the while we bristle if bridled or restricted. Defensive and edgy, being too assertive, too arrogant, too know-it-all, too exaggerative are what plagues the ego. We can be all curtains {appearances} and kippers {no substance}. Steady on and catch the advantages and opportunities. Let other people push things to the edge. We must not let them push us over.

 

3RD The Gibbous Moon is made of stalwart stuff. There are rewards to be reaped and propagation that will grow. Pleasantries are to be enjoyed and meetings bring serious business. Stress and tension is hard on the health. Spending time with others buoys the spirit. There are connections that can be made when least expected. We need the opinions of others to help to arrive at a wider perspective. The broader the horizon the more opportunity can arise. Get connected with those of multi-dimensional mind. Grow beyond any narrowness. A free spirit cannot be harnessed.

 

5TH A little more than headstrong, we know what we want to do and what we do not want to do. We are willing and consciously capable of cooperating but if we are forced to please others our defensive-aggressive reactions will be automatic. Activated we will take a firm stand. Equality and independence are important issues. Courage and confidence are strong. Many reactions are possible depending upon our choice. This is not energy to mess with.

 

6TH The Moon is Full so our nights are filled with reflected sunlight. Energies are intense and chaotic. We are doubtful; feeling impaired or wounded but required to push that aside to be what we need to be. Movement comes to a standstill. There are many obstacles or blocks, obstructions or barriers. I pity rush hour traffic. The intensity makes people broody. Some can fall into suspicion or mistrust easily, feel betrayed with no evidence of betrayal, become paranoid or easily threatened. There is also a tendency to overeat, drink too much and overdo just about anything that could affect health, weight or overwhelm the liver. Anger is stored in the liver and anger can make us feel unwell. If there are social arrangements it will be a highlight of the party season. In the quieter corners of reality shy people can meet someone favourable for the purposes of relationship.

 

8TH We sense that we are on a whole new playing field. Nothing feels familiar or routine. Due to this it is almost necessary to be hesitant, cautious or careful about making the right decision. For some this can be paralytic. Take a new look at standards, codes, regulations and agreements. In the attempt to build, form or become something we need to modernize our code of conduct; what we can do or best not do. There is some hard work and disciplined effort that will make progress. We want to fulfil our goals. Unfortunately there will be an increase in frustration, anger and bitterness that needs to be managed.

 

We have gone as far as we can go with the things that give us the most difficulty. In this breakdown phase there is a riddle to solve. There are issues of equality and propriety versus depth of intimacy to sort out. Issues of trust are very vulnerable in situations of incompatibility. Deep-seated resentment, intense jealousy, sexual difficulty, destructive attitude or behaviour will reveal themselves. In circumstances where inappropriate attachment has been destructively prolonged energies will become intense. Non-disclosure from the person demanding full disclosure will create implosive-explosive pressure. Secretive, powerful or occult types can be a magnetic draw to anyone needing passion. Some can get drawn into a power struggle. We need to monitor our use of personal power to be sure it is infused with mutual trust. Forgiveness brings healing.

 

We are so vulnerable. Increased sensitivity does not help. More prone to wanting to escape the crumbling ruins of our illusions than ever it is very possible to be victimised by deception. The delusion of feeling unloved creates deep pain. Dependencies on other people become taxing and overwhelming for them. We can drain other people or be drained by others. Be determined to avoid predisposed addictions whatever they are for each of us. Denials, fears, hang-ups belong to the category of imagination and fantasy. Artists benefit from the increased inspiration, writers by the inner vision and seers through heightened intuition. The plight of the less fortunate, needy or poor becomes dramatic. It draws people to be more loving and giving in a real way.

 

Back again, Mercury enters Scorpio stirring up the emotional stewing pot with what-me-worry? bliss. Tickling those riskier places with its curiosity, it sets off our triggers. Penetrating those deeper layers of the psyche brings up uncomfortable sensations and disclosures. The corrupt can use this emanation to swindle, manipulate, psychologise otherwise brainwash and take advantage of our sympathies. The rest of us can enjoy a powerful release, a worthwhile renewal, perhaps some transformational euphoria and fearlessness free of pain. Deepening our understanding of human nature helps us to put things into perspective, act more accordingly and navigate life more successfully. In whatever way is our nature we will get into an alchemical mental exercise. Intellectual toughness and access to the collective of psychological wisdom makes us strong.

 

10TH As the fullness of the Moon recedes we enter the Disseminating Phase of the Sun/Moon cycle. This is a time of disbursement and it appears there is plenty to be given out. We receive for good service, because we are lucky, due to our investments or simply because we are gifted. At the same time we are resourceful, finding ways to repurpose our recyclables. It is almost an art form for some. Spiritual gifts, cosmic cookies and blessings are well received rewards. As the temperatures dip in the northern climates the immune system lags and needs a boost. Good fortune, opportunities and advantages come through our efforts.

 

Two emanations of power converge with a dramatically profound sonic boom on the etheric level. Natural forces at an accelerated high pitch can lead to many different consequences. Extreme events will occur. Ongoing conflicts can reach a crescendo. Repressed anger releases with the ignition of these combustible sources. Natural or manmade disasters, violence, warfare, terrorism, bombings and elimination are symbolised. This overt energy can be covert and manipulative in the hands of the wrong people. Avoid those with road rage also conflict in a public place. Crisis of some sort can call upon the deepest part of our psyche. We can accomplish a profound objective, meet people of equal strength and maintain mindfulness of interdependence or creative integration of life experience. It is a good time for renewal and psychological work. Be careful and cautious. These forces are meant to be constructive but they can turn destructive.

 

11TH What we were brought up to believe is in conflict with our self-realisation. It can hold us back. Our progress can be withheld. What we were taught to believe is unattainable in today's world. People interfere with our ability to be ourselves. Paradox throws us into situations we have no affinity for. Problems arise because we cooperate and comply contrary to our well-being instead of asserting ourselves in character. Relationships are non-committal. There are more questions than answers. We feel restricted but want commitment. Be patient, necessity will invent the adaptation needed.

 

12TH Healing burdens of anger, hurt, pain or unresolved warfare will come but at first some ugly, vile and violent anger held unexpressed for too long may get ignited. Our spiritual warrior within encourages us to compose a segue of survival rather than duel with ghosts of the past. However, blocked energy or the darkest parts of our being make anger and wilfulness surface. Perhaps we have to blow off the carbon residue of long burning inner fires suppressed for too long. Those who have had their rights compromised over a lengthy term can rise up against their depriver. An upwelling of courage gives us super powers. Flashbacks, past life patterns, life's entanglements feed the need to express the unexpressed. The animus is actively seeking supremacy and is licensed to do anything in the name of survival. A form of greed can strike the hearts of the underprivileged. Illness is a way of controlling others. This is a tempest in a teapot but it is guided and meant to be healing.

 

The results of our life will be assessed. There will be consequences or karmic results to deal with depending on what we have caused. We have gone too far for too long and we need to come back into line. Fragmented, fractured and compartmentalised we are humpty dumpty. Cause and effect cannot be escaped; we create it we fix it. These are not easy transformational shifts. The symptoms are; chaos, restlessness, impulsiveness, a sense of urgency, frustration, accident, explosiveness, distraction, disruption of the status quo, drastic action and many changes of plan. Improvement comes through reorientation. Motive is always important, as is purity of intent. We have free will but some people do not account for the cost of egotistical behaviour. That means even though there may be sudden, shocking or unexpected events they do not make the breakthrough. They do not get it. They do not understand that they have caused what is happening to them. The unforeseen brings new opportunities and new solutions.

 

14TH As a whole, the collective - humanity, is wounded. We are lost in a drama of limitation and compelled to find the keys for planetary healing and individual upliftment. The flaws in the systems that manage humanity are being disclosed. There is no choice but to be unconventional and futuristic. Addressing the illusion of limitation our thinking is becoming more free and independent. Our individual electrical energy field has become more intensified. . We can at times feel uncomfortable around certain people at certain times. It is possible to tune into other dimensions, other timelines and have access to collective wisdom. The enlightenment process is not easy. Keep taking steps forward, this too shall pass.

 

If we want to move forward, charge ahead, blaze our own trail we will have to come clean. Shake off the shadowy stuff, address the dark side. Restlessness, tossing and turning, insomnia, nervous disorders and eye popping stress are caused by a shift in the frequency that creates anxiety. We need to feel free, independent and have our own space. This does not preclude relationship. It universalises it. Each partner is recognised for their own thing and their own way. Couples can be mutually supportive of each other's expansion of awareness, expression of ideals and view of alternate dimensions. Individualisation increases the sharing and keeps relationship exciting and ever growing. Two people do not have to be exactly the same. Everyone does not have to be exactly the same. Hopefully no one will take this too far but having said that I realise of course there will be those that will without consciousness exercise their right of dominion. A self-possessed convicted mind only sees their own point of view and wishes to propagate it widely.

 

Oh for goodness sakes... Do the spiritual polka! Competitiveness, differing viewpoints, moral conflicts, ethical dilemmas or grand expectations need to fall away into cooperation. Maybe a tango would be more dramatic. One person does not make up the majority. So better still would be a sacred circle dance. In other words; get over it. Dealing with what is interfering with bridging the gap between where we are and where we want to go takes originality in negotiating all the idiosyncrasies. Bulldozing through people's sensitivities with our convictions is not a transformational shift. We may end relationships incompatible with our commitments and beliefs or redefine them in the interests of both parties. What we are interested in reaching at this moment in time is growth and healing, keep focused on that. We need to fix ourselves and our situations. It is possible to magnetically attract the healing and guidance we need. It is important not to give up. What we do now will add to our understanding and personal healing. We can disentangle ourselves from an old evolutionary path.

 

The Last Quarter Moon is the last critical junction on the lunar train for the month. There is nowhere else to go, nowhere to hide we must deal with what is on our plate in order to blow by this crux of the matter. Whatever the crisis, the point of choice or personal responsibility we must deal with it and clean out the cache. This is a turning point that asks that we check our baggage at the door. Travelling light we accelerate our learning curve. Whatever is blocking, standing in our way, limiting and resisting is excess cargo. Some lost luggage should never be reclaimed.

 

When personal power is waning the power seeker becomes desperate to maintain their influence. How we use personal power when interacting with others will be reviewed. It may be too late to prove that we are an effective, equal and valued contributor because it is time to strengthen the integrity of consensus involvement. If we do it is easier to notice and be noticed when we are being effective. We can contemplate the ways we could transform our marriage or cooperative ventures and clarify each person's rights. Rather than fight we psychologically analyse our situation to find balance and will not be pushed into compulsion. These energies can also be intensely secretive and sexually volcanic. Merging is far better and will be more successful in the near future than diverging.

 

15TH When Neptune stations or stands still we feel like a psychic sponge. Changing to direct motion can cause us to feel ungrounded. The mind can become blurry, confused, too inwardly focused on the sensation of vagueness. Vulnerable to the influences of others, the media, hype, gossip, fantasy, brainwashing and social pressure we need to consider what is best for us rather than become a puppet to obligation or persuasion. We need to remain tuned into our hopes, our wishes and our dreams. We are about to turn back into the public sphere and consciously cooperate with the collective. Beware of detours, blind allies, and dead zones, Remember to do everything with love for ourselves and faith in our beliefs.

 

16TH Venus while in Sagittarius likes to play games with no holds barred. This can wreck havoc in relationship unless it is mutual. The trouble is we tend to cross boundaries in the name of free spiritedness giving ourselves lots of rope to express ourselves. Verbal foot in mouth disease crashes boundaries and gets too far out of bounds. Personal taste in clothing, art or home decoration could take on a very different style. Most likely this will be a fling rather than a lasting change. What a grand time to get out into nature, to work with plants and stones or enjoy wild life. Another action that can be stimulating is sports. We need space and movement. In the right conditions our hearts can grow and we can share.

 

17TH Before we can upgrade our guidance system and rewire our synapses to use our brain in a new way we have to solve our own paradox, flaws or weaknesses. A convergence of ideas that have no apparent connection or compatibility will be the links to a dimensional shift in thinking. Anxiety is the overloading of the nervous system that makes thinking erratic. It is a sign that we need to make a change. Freedom and independence are needed to process this change; we may retreat or withdraw from others when in transition. We are incompatible with our current way of thinking and need to realign ourselves with our individual vision. This is necessary before we can lend ourselves to the universal and humanitarian ideals that fuel social change. We are building our rainbow bridge through personal growth and understanding. What we do not realise with anxiety as with depression; when we are in that state we are already amidst a great change. For the moment we are neither here nor there but we must give way to what will be.

 

We are in the ebb of this flow and no matter how much we struggle this is a turning point and things cannot remain the same.What happens now is leading us to wholeness. We can see that the things that are broken are not worth fixing or replacing rather something new has to be invented. The collective unconscious is in agreement and that is what is causing the tide of current events. Release and flow with the transformational shift. If something has to unravel, it is what it is. Life happens as it will and whether we know it or not it is manifesting our intentions. Cosmic law is in effect.

 

Do not underestimate the specks and flecks of information that float around the mind. Kernels of truth and knowledge can synthesise details into a broader usage. Our minds are in a growth and development stage. We can grow into new forms of work, move on from a career, get a promotion or follow our quest. Stretch the mind, be optimistically convicted, and expect a miracle. Progress is made with writing, publishing or being published. The news will be filled with politics, education, religion and law. Social vision increases, spiritual progress flourishes and change is for the better.

 

18TH This Balsamic phase of the Sun Moon cycle is filled with purpose, commitment and longing. This is the last station on the lunar train for the month. It is the prophetic period of the month, a time for seeing the future or understanding what will come to pass. At this turning it is especially helpful to consider our children's lives. Our powers of influence are strong and we are in a good position to make connections, links or a new network. Career potentials should come clear. Financial prospects are directly engaged with management and levels of optimism. There is a mixture of world news across a wide spectrum; not all bad. Listen to the health suggestions that others make.

 

21ST It is true that some of our dreams are dissolving. We must repolarise rather than cave-in. Motive is important. No matter how much we wish for it the consequences we have created by our actions will not go away. Conserve energy and confront fear. Other people's advice is demoralizing. Feelings of doubt, discouragement and inadequacy create stress. Upsets occur to our hopes and wishes. Release, sacrifice, give it up but do not take the easy way out. Low physical energy creates a susceptibility to allergy, minor infection, chill and fever. We can easily give into hopeless self-questioning and other such feelings. Desperation can give rise to deceitful action. Evasiveness will provide discouraging consequences.

 

We are pulled between our commitments and our needs. Whether male or female, we need to claim our masculine side in our own way according to our own image. This naturally affects our relationships. While we need love there are other facets of self like artistic expression or cultural participation that long to be expressed. If one partner places limitations on the other the imbalance causes difficulties and this can cause a rift or separation. Being true to oneself is just as important as incorporating other people's contributions into our process. There is no either/or, right or wrong, absolute, black and white answer because we need to co-create our reality in terms of inclusivity to satisfy the needs of everyone in a co-committed way. By working out our differences we create very strong partnerships. Father issues will surface so we can let them go.

 

22ND The Sun enters Sagittarius and it is a New Moon to begin the month. Yeah we are synchronised!

 

23RD Chiron will station and while standing still will get ready to turn direct.

Well Happy Birthday Scorpio! What a line up at the entrance of your sign. Venus is entering Scorpio just as the Sun is eclipsed by the New Moon. There appear to be plenty of gifts and the assurance of travel for your birthday. The Solar Eclipse promises plenty of adventure, expansion and learning something you always wanted to study. Well what is it? You are supposed to be Getty up and away you go! There are tentative steps taken in one direction and a gung ho plunge in another. Good productivity. Unusually capricious you are likely to surprise those who know you well. Mercury stands still, stationing ready to turn direct again. You can breathe a sigh of relief, it has been irksome. Now you can think straight. Mars enters Capricorn and this will build some intensity, the kind that fuels you and gives you propulsion. Ceres in Scorpio assures you that your care and concern for others will open up your horizons. An accelerated life looks good on you. While you are feeling so chipper it is a grand time for a clean out of the psyche's closet. You need to abandon lost luggage; the baggage that weighs down the mind. The ability to act decisively on impulse is a useful tool. Knowing telepathically is invigorating. Being too idealistically set in your ways can narrow your results and cause challenges or power struggles with others. Softening your approach brings far more favourable fulfilment. Let old restrictions dislodge themselves from your perception by depersonalising them. Happy standard time...Fall back one hour. It makes you sluggish and out of sorts with your spouse. Then boomerang being too exuberant in a problematic way can push things to the edge. You know what you want and can be aggressive about getting it. It is apparent that everything does not proceed has it once did and for you this can create some unfortunate reactions. This does not mean you cannot have what you want it just means you have to go about it differently. That alone is annoying but you will do what you have to do. The unusualness, newness, unfamiliar procedure makes you a little shy, sensitive and vulnerable but still determined. Mercury takes the plunge into Scorpio which can set off all the wrong buttons; do not be triggered. A mighty twosome is paring up to send out shock waves through everyone's reality. Be gentle with yourself and the most important people in your life. Avoid drama. Accept consequences. What you were brought up to believe is now over turned with what is now known to be true. The results will fix what is broken. Long forgotten anger can surface so you can once and forever let it go. What may appear to be falling apart is falling together. Cause and affect create unexpected and even shocking events. You will be fine, better for whatever comes your way. Come clean on any shadowy stuff and anything causing you anxiety. Best if you do not lock horns with anyone, there is no good outcome to contest. Consensus involvement with your mate is a quality added experience. Do not be surprised if you become ultra sensitive when Neptune is stationing Direct. It is as if you are picking up on everything. Venus in Sagittarius helps to bring some levity out of what has been a serious line up in your sign. Your current way of thinking will be a rewired version of how you thought before. It will be a delightful freedom of choice. There is no point in struggling, release and flow. Pieces of information that you have known for a long time will finally find their connection. This is probably only important to you. Do not give up, do not be discouraged, dreams take a new shape that you do not recognise. One thing you have learned is to be true to yourself while you co-create reality with others.

The Sun slips into the realm of your subconscious as it enters Scorpio. This can stir up many thoughts to motivate your actions. Venus entering Scorpio at the same time stimulates your pleasure centres. You pursue a balance of social and private excursions to appease your palate. Then the Moon joins the Sun and Venus forming a Solar Eclipsed New Moon. There is no doubt that this phenomena has the power to affect you in very definite ways if not alter the course of your destiny. You are willing to invest in a new pet project but may be given to temper tantrums when details get derailed. Mercury pauses, stands still and waits to resume its direct motion. This sets up some inner divergence; you feel split in two and are considering alternative ways to proceed. Mars pulling out of Sagittarius and moving into Capricorn steals some of your thunder and you wonder why you have lost steam. Entering Sagittarius, Ceres comes to the rescue to nurture your vitality. If you are spread too thin, are too diversified, this is a call to focus on less. Remove the excess baggage, narrow your goals and get rid of interference. A smooth talker could relieve you of some of your money. Keep your vulnerability under your hat. People can hit on you through your ideals, causes, beliefs and other areas of personal focus; your weak spots. Being very sensitive at present you have to be careful which doors you open. Let things fall together as they will, that is the best way to reveal which step to take next. You definitely feel like someone put out the lights when daylight savings ends. Your suspicions are on high alert and you can be defensively edgy. A little stubbornly headstrong you know what you want and do not want. The problem is things have changed and you have to adapt to what is available. A power struggle develops where there is the most difficulty but it will go nowhere. You can wear people down, drain them of their determination and take advantage of their vulnerability but that is not winning. Mercury once again enters the realm of your subconscious as it slips over the cusp into Scorpio. There will be growth and expansion as your mind is stimulated with a positive charge. Then something profound can occur as constructive forces work on your psyche. Stay away from the dark side of the mind and emotions to make the most of this. You always were a creative thinker and not much for conformity but there are always tentacles of other people's teachings and influence that need to be shrugged off. Repressed anger, pain or unresolved conflict festers in the darkest part of your being. There are flashbacks to help release this potential tempest so you do not become it. A sense of great urgency accompanies transformational influences that cannot be escaped. Roll with the swell and like the grit in an oyster, create a pearl. This is expected to be more remedial than injurious. Stress revs back up to eye popping levels nonetheless. Just dance and move that energy through and out! There can be a lot of drama with these transformational shifts. Dance it out. Have nothing to prove with your personal power, just be. Brain fog can cause a bit of confusion or disorientation when Neptune resumes direct motion. But Venus will then enter Sagittarius bringing some exciting new possibilities. Spend time with friends. Make new friends. Spend some quality time in quietude too. Perhaps they can help you to rewire your guidance system and synapses when it comes to certain other people who have been in your life. You need to see old relationships in a new way to move on to a fresh new start. That special person could be waiting for you to do this. Because this is an ebbing flow things cannot remain the same; life wants to become what you have asked for not what you wanted before. Stretch the mind beyond the confines of past knowledge, synthesise new details, broaden your mind. New information will bring opportunities. Let the old dream dissolve; repolarise to new hopes and wishes. Low energy needs economic direction. You are pulled between should and want, especially where romance, relationship and parental involvement is concerned. 

The Sun wanders farther south reaching the cusp of Scorpio. You know you are entering the period of darkness but there is time yet before daylight savings ends and you relish every moment of the available daylight. It is a busy time and you have lots to do. Venus entering Scorpio immediately following the Sun reminds you of all the winter preparations that need to be done for the garden and plants. You prepare for hibernation. The Solar Eclipsed Scorpio Moon fills you with anticipation for the as of yet unknown excursion. What is not yet manifest lies in wait. Your pet project reaches another stage of accomplishment into which you invest more energy. A wilful child asserts their need for independence when they feel smothered. While your impulse is to dissuade waywardness it is obvious attempts to control are likely to misfire and misdirect due to recoil. Mercury is resuming direct motion which helps the mind to consider all its options. Mars builds intensity as it enters Capricorn; you feel the energy flooding into your sphere. Ceres entering Sagittarius is soothing and sustaining for your whole being but mostly uplifting for your consciousness. Children turn into a delight. There are endings and closure, the riddance of interference and the transitioning into a new brisk path. Even with all the busyness there is a certain peacefulness that gives you a profound sense of calm that usually comes before the storm. Avoid the compulsive conviction toward the ideal so you do not fall flat on your face. Retreat, withdraw, hold back and let the doors open automatically to let you pass forward. Let the pieces get disarrayed, allow chaos to some degree, it will lead you to a new cohesiveness. Daylight Savings Time is over, the darkness descends in earnest. You are far too busy and active to give it so much notice as you keep in stride. With such a head of steam you are somewhat defensive-aggressive because you do not want to be messed with. Unwittingly you get yourself embroiled in a dispute over how things are done, since everything seems to have changed. There can be a clash because of these volatile explosive energies. You do not appear to want to back down. It is important to you that you hold true to your principals and values despite the decaying and crumbling ruins of what used to be. Mercury entering Scorpio gives you mind-power and increased fortitude enabling you to stand your ground and command respect. Did you hear that kabooooom? Something has to give somewhere due to all the pressure backing up. Any conflict can become a crisis and a disaster with very little effort. You will learn many things you wish you did not have to know and it will change how you think and believe for future reference. There will be residual anger that needs to be blown off to release the pressure. Sports or exercise and martial arts are good for this; or simply walking or running and do not forget dancing. Feel like you are in the line of fire? There is no doubt something will rock your world. If it is karmic, or the result of cause and effect, there is no escape just surrender. Other than that it will be a shift or breakthrough. Attachments to the past will need to be loosened if not broken. You cannot afford to get lost in the drama. Shake off the dark shadowy stuff, keep moving forward ploughing through the stress. You have forgotten to dance, it is sacred. Dilemmas fall away to its grace. There are bulldozers and there are dancers; be a dancer. If you feel like you are losing your power, it is an illusion. Merge rather than diverge! Neptune resuming direct motion brings out your creativity. You are inspired and enthused. Venus entering Sagittarius, the realm of your subconscious, also increases your artistic inclinations and compels you to act on them. A good place to start is with the flaws and weaknesses that have shown up in your current way of thinking. Create new connections, visions and understandings by artistically modifying your thoughts. New definitions are replacing the old system. There is no collective agreement with it so you must make the shift into current life gear. Never underestimate the tiny bits of information that you have already been compiling, just connect the dots. You are too busy forging forward to get caught on fear, doubt or upset because some old hopes and wishes are morphing into new possibilities. Be sure to take care of your health, there is no other greater priority.

The Sun is at one of those angles that tend to challenge you; it has entered Scorpio a zone of intensity. You will confront yourself if you feel this on a personal level. Venus moving into Scorpio however can clearly bring others into the spotlight. It is simply a difference in values, no need to bump heads. When the Moon meets up with the Sun and Venus the Solar Eclipsed New Moon will push your affairs forward. You can get new projects off the ground and running. There is a chance some renegade may try to hijack your idea morphing it with their own so be vigilant. Mercury's direct motion gives you the assuredness you need to commit yourself to a lucrative opportunity. Mars entering the zone of your subconscious in Capricorn increases your courage, fortitude and ambition. Ceres operating through Sagittarius feeds your conscious and subconscious mind with growth producing ideas. Completions, closure, fulfilled commitments help you to narrow your goals. You are picking up on things as if by osmosis. Be sure to put a stack of unread books by your bed. The ideal, treasured and valued will get attested for true worth. Be creative, move through the shift with little resistance and lots of receptivity. Even if you get the sense that things are falling apart resist trying to hold them together. Let it fall into place and be free of what falls away. When daylight savings ends you will be doing things in a big way as doors open for you. Now you have a full head of steam built up do not let it fall flat if you cannot immediately go where you want to go. In some ways you are on unfamiliar territory therefore you must follow different procedure. Certain aspects of what you are trying to do can go no further and others can proceed forward. You need to sort this out. Illusions are the first to go, unreasonable expectations next then self-deception. Mercury has regained its position in Scorpio that is why it feels a bit like batting practice on your head. Compose yourself; an explosive mixture of lethal planetary emanations wants to trigger your ticklish zone. Steer clear of those with road rage. Avoid being the accidental bystander. Do not activate anyone, do not poke the bear. You can scratch your head in wonderment as more and more of your proprieties are compromised by the general public. It is too easy to get angry and want to take charge - back away. Your own karma is enough to deal with right now try not to be an accidental tourist in someone else's drama. Consequences from your own actions are being assessed; keep the ego in check. You are not alone in feeling wounded or hampered therefore not as fully functional. Your feet of cement are what you need to free yourself from. Shake off the shadowy stuff; the areas that are lacking are holding you back, come clean to get productive. To avoid getting mired in layers of viewpoint, conflict, dilemma or expectations come clean. Wherever you are put dance into your steps. Get the energies of the body moving in rhythm. The illusion of losing power can make you scramble when it is not necessary. You are far too sensitive when Neptune resumes direct motion. It is best not to take it out on others. You are picking up energies, moods and thoughts from the airwaves - tune out. Venus moves into fun loving Sagittarius which should put a sparkle back in your eye. Paradigm shifts and brain rewiring to meet the twenty-first century evolution requirements can be fun as well as good work done well. People are changing along with the times, nothing was meant to stay the same and you are becoming okay with that. There will be lots of new information to be synthesised to gain a broadened modern mind. You can help to inspire other people who are demoralised by this repolarisation. Sure enough getting too involved will pull you in many directions; keep your centre and your elasticity.

The Sun moving into watery sign Scorpio suits you well enough. You start to think of proactive ways of remaining healthy this fall and winter. Venus joins the Sun in Scorpio which heightens the senses and increases sensitivity. The economist within becomes interested in financial management. As the Moon enters Scorpio to join Venus it Eclipses the Sun. This New Moon is packed with promise and possibility yet to be released. Get out an old project that was just barely started; it is time to begin again. Involvements with groups of people may be weird because of those who wish to dominate. Mercury resumes direct motion which helps you with reclaiming some clarity and direction. You get to do what you have been trying to do. Mars enters Capricorn at this time providing you with endurance, perseverance and organisation. If you are under strain or working hard and long; safeguard your health and immune system. Ceres entering Sagittarius fuels your fires and gives you the impulse to act, get things going and do what has to be done. A four year cycle is coming to a close and you are about to embark on a new chapter in the book of your life. Enjoy the telepathic and intuitive enhancements. The imagination is boosted. You enjoy music, photography, the arts and other cultural expressions. Your ideals might overrule your spending habits but there is a time when straying into grey areas is called for. Take some time out, go to a retreat or simply calm the body through meditation or seclusion. Let things fall together and grow from there. You will understand so much more by clearing your consciousness and seeing things fresh. Filled with exuberance, purposefulness and eagerness people will want to make way for you. You hardly notice the clock falling back an hour. Feeling your oats you are bold and headstrong; this is not energy people will want to mess with. You know what you want and they get that. In fact you feel so together within yourself you are laying a new framework of methodology where your inner self feels in control. It is a relief to you that you are not over extenuated in any way. Certainly you can see that many have gone as far as they can go. Someone's dependency on you is overtaxing your energies and draining what you have set aside for yourself. Mercury has journeyed back to Scorpio if you wonder where some dark thoughts or peculiar dreams stem from. Stay out of harm's way for a while. A powerful convergence releases overt and covert energy, road rage and other dramatic occurrence. It is recommended that you withdraw and remain quietly engaged in meditative pursuits. Old traditions die hard but they must make way for new beliefs. There will be friends who will help you and people you want to help. Life's entanglements create many forms of burden from hurt and pain to anger and grief. Bear up we are moving through a storm. A great reckoning full of karmic results and consequences moves around you but not through you. There is a sense of urgency and restlessness that breaks through your defences. It is motivating. But the atmosphere is impacted with unseen debris fields that only the sensitive can feel. Use your infra red vision to navigate these ghostlike floaters. So you are all gung ho but are impaired by vortexes. It takes fancy dancing to cut through the etheric blockages. Keep smiling as you dance through the crowds and cues. You have wings on your feet. Keep away from people who crave power and control; they are pushed to compulsiveness. You have other friends. Neptune will resume direct motion and that helps you feel and sense without distraction. Venus in Sagittarius promises to add to your financial resources. You may receive gifts or benefits from investments. A realignment process operates without much observable evidence. Slowly but surely you are changing, moving past the turning back point. Every bit and speck of knowledge or information that accumulates in your thoughts will embody your new relationship to life and out of that a new you is birthed. If you allow the old to give way to the new it releases you from any potential to struggle. If you are working with someone else or partnered in any way on an endeavour it will be necessary to co-create cooperatively allowing everyone expression and participation. The teamwork will be strengthened. 

When the Sun passes over the cusp of Scorpio you will find that your relationships become changed. Venus in Scorpio suggests that it is a contrary affectation causing some friends to tend to become busy and others to want to remain quiet. Either way do not take it personal. The Moon moving into the alignment will Eclipse the Sun and Venus. Be careful with your financial dealings around the new moon as things may not turn out as you expect. A fledgling project needs a lot of work but you are more sporadic at applying yourself to it than you would like to be because of a lack of time. Sometimes your needs require more of you than you can give to other responsibilities. You would rebel against yourself if you tried to force yourself to attend to any other issue. Mercury turns direct and before you know it an amount of time has slipped away. This makes you scurry. Mars in Capricorn will help you to catch up but not without self-reproach. At this point you have to accept that you have to do what you have to do and the rest falls into the bucket. Ceres entering Sagittarius lights you up and makes you feel relevant. While it is not New Year's yet, your resolutions will serve you well. Finances are taking a turn for the better, the old trend is ending. You receive a strong telepathic message about or from someone who was close to you. Reassurance comes with an event. There is a dodgy patch that occurs when another person's ideals do not match your values. Oh well c'est la vie. If you can retreat into your private zone, get away to a peaceful and secluded place or simply be more meditative you will be inspired about how life can unfold successfully. At work you are in a self-contained unit of anxiety about systems not going right but you need to be more detached and objective. It is not personal. A little tension in a successful career niche, perhaps a discussion about it and all is well. Inwardly you feel elated, more confident and willing to be more courageous but outwardly you maintain cautious reserve. It is a good mix. Critically analyse the motivation behind any ideas that hit the head strongly. Make the appropriate modifications before presenting them to the powers that be. It is a whole new playing field, you are building relationships, the connections you are making are important to your future. Asserting yourself too enthusiastically could cause a setback. It is better to be a little conservative. Feeling somewhat sensitive makes you more vulnerable, easily drained and victim to your creative imagination. When Mercury regains the Scorpio territory you will be better able to promote yourself and your talents. There is a lot of punch to your ambition. Other dramatic occurrences can be ignited. Be very careful on the road, avoid road rage and conflict in a public place. Profound energies are brewing. Paradox and contrariness can create conflict you will wish you had never started. Make an executive decision to let the issue go. Then do not repress the energy be it anger, frustration or anything else because it will ignite previously repressed expressions. The vibratory chaos you will feel now is like an aftershock of a large earthquake. You will be rattled but not physically. It is contained within you. At this time you can shake off your karmic attachments, shadowy stuff and dark side like a dog shaking off water. Then do the circle dance or spiritual polka; get energy moving through and around you. Dance your way into wholeness. Anywhere you are at any time - be dancing. Your personal power is alchemising; it feels like it is waning from what it was but it is actually becoming what it will be. At the Neptune station, when it is getting ready to go direct, there can be some confusing moments when you think you cannot remember anything. It will pass. You are not ready for Venus when it moves into Sagittarius. The up swelling of energy, enthusiasm and playfulness overloads your circuits temporarily. You will adapt after the initial sway. The great shifts that are meant to take place now require that you fix your flaws, weaknesses, incompatible ways and inappropriate relationships. Whatever you come across, if it cannot be fixed then recycle and replace and this does not just apply to objects. From the depths of your psyche a variety of kernels of knowledge will spin themselves together into a mind-full quest and conviction. The old dream was an illusion; let it dissolve without doubt about what will replace your hopes and wishes. There is some concern with the restrictions and limitations that your work is placing on your need to express yourself artistically. 

The Sun enters your polar opposite sign Scorpio. The shadow side of your personality is more apparent. This is the lesser known parts of your psychology. It is a grand opportunity to shed light on some problematic areas of your being. Venus joins the Sun in Scorpio. Relations are sweeter, old friends are closer and your ability to enjoy is enriched. As the Moon enters Scorpio it will eclipse the Sun. All these energies in your polarity make you more objective so in a sense you are able to get out of your own way. What this will reveal is different for everyone. The commonality will be that this will lead to an acceleration of steady opportunity. It is the new moon and a new start. It is a positive and advantageous event for you. In a new undertaking you are making fresh relationships and it changes how you feel about yourself. There is an added spring to your step; a little wilfulness makes you more assertive. It is a relief when Mercury stations readying to turn direct. You feel more together. Mars in Capricorn helps you to accomplish a great amount with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy. Measure it wisely. Ceres entering Sagittarius makes life a little more light and lively, fun and playful. Realise that other people feel like they are losing their power and control and that is why they are behaving as they are. You are managing to straddle the line, maintaining your inner power while the world messes with your ability to control. There is a relaxation of stress and tension around close personal relations, a more peaceful co-existence. It is hard to believe that some ideals need to be upgraded but it is true everything evolves. You are very much in touch with yourself and aware of the part of you that you reject. When shambles replaces what was you know that life is reshaping itself. You have a rooted security to help you through the chaos. There is some happiness and relatedness to enjoy and for that there is no agenda. You feel pushed around at some point but it is your own urge to do what you want to do. Running into new rules, different arrangements to what you are used to makes you hesitant and careful, always double checking. This tipping point or breaking point is the limit to which a situation can be stretched. Certain relationships may challenge your ability to maintain. It is very possible to be victimised by deception. Dependencies make you vulnerable. Mercury regaining territory in Scorpio lends itself to attaining objectivity but you have to work on detachment. A situation beyond your control will have an effect on your financial outlook. You can feel abandoned by your beliefs and experience behaviour other than what you were taught by those who taught you. There is hurt and pain in these realisations but resolve and edification follow. Drastically restless energies disturb your peace of mind. There will be growing pains on the evolutionary level. Deeply buried wounds will reopen and ask to be healed. It is motivational, stimulating and compelling. You want to turn stress into accomplishment. Put dance into your steps, sashay to the music of life. It is bound to put a smile on your face. Where personal power is an illusion it will become diminished in its capacity to influence. Real empowerment will be contemplated and integrated for mutual benefit. Neptune at its station is a mesmerising event. Your mind will easily wander from its constructive intent. Venus in Sagittarius does not help this wanderlust. The desire to move around, be free and do as you please interferes with what was planned to accomplish. A convergence of unrelated ideas gather in your mind's eye and these details synthesise into a basis of information. At the same time other understandings have to unravel because they do not sustain continuance. There is a lot of work accomplished with less than normal effort. You are swift and focused. Large chunks of the past are dissolving, repolarising and being rewritten in light of discouraging consequences. You are pulled in many directions but maintain a consensus in your inner core reality. 

As the Sun enters Scorpio you anticipate going on a journey. It may not be far but it is time off work. Venus enters Scorpio around the same time and it warms and charms your experience of life. Two already strong vibes mingling together take you away from the norm and when the Moon enters Scorpio it eclipses the Sun. Picture it like a reversed negative; you will feel washed clean and rearranged. The New Moon is positive; expansive, as well as beneficial and it promises you more joy. A new project starts as another project comes to an end. You can be a little headstrong about your point of view and feel your way of doing things offers more value. Mercury resuming direct motion over a few days gets you back in gear in an accelerated way. Mars working its way into Capricorn puts an emphasis on many distractions that may be at the cost of attention to work. Ceres in Sagittarius works well for you if you are planning to go on a trip somewhere. Otherwise you can cover a lot of territory in a short period of time. You have been in a difficult cycle for the past four years and it is time for graduation. For a brief while you feel at peace within yourself and hope that the worst is behind you. Applying a modicum of self-criticism in your analysis of relevant ideals will help you to eliminate old impressions and ideas acquired by socialisation. Being more in touch with your senses will help you to feel your way through what works and what does not. Lucky for you things will fall together in a meaningful way. Great enthusiasm surrounds you and people of different values that have known each other since childhood. You get a little headstrong about the darkness in the world and express your values about the subject. Everyone is on a new playing field so no one has all the answers but many will plough through the exploration of many subjects with you. A consensus acknowledges how the powers that be are struggling. Do not dwell on the ills of the world. It is a downer for some and reminds others of the pressure they are living through. You might not feel it as acutely as others but many people are feeling very vulnerable and sensitive therefore cannot bear up as well as you. Mercury regaining its previously held territory in Scorpio stirs the subconscious memory bank. You are bound to share many stories that are unrelated to the people you are spending time with. They learn about you. A major combustible convergence is forming and it can put tension on situations that are strained to their limit. Something occurs that has you wondering what you can believe, there are no precedents. If anger is vented there can be healing but be gentle on those around you as these influences are formidably intense. Do not take abuse. Step away from violence or angry people. Many consequences from past actions are what will cause a plethora of occurrences to rain down upon you. You are meant to learn from them to clean the slate. Shake it all off, let the dark matter fall off of you rather than toss and turn with it. Be your own partner and dance off the dross! Keep moving, be supportive of others, but be true to yourself no one has to be exactly the same. It is best if you do not get bogged down in any negative quicksand. Personal power is irrelevant during times when everyone must pull together but those who need power are suffering from the fear of losing it. There will be drama. Neptune turns direct over a few days which can cause you to feel a little wobbly then swift and sure. Venus entering Sagittarius, your polar opposite and shadow sign suggests that interactions with others will reveal parts of your personality you know the least. Other people know these facets of you from observation. One of the most important quests will be to solve your own puzzle and become more universalised. We are in the ebb of this flow; there is a huge undertow that will not let you remain the same as always. Enjoy the versatility. Become more self-realised. Your mind captures information at a greater rate than usual. Reorient the mind toward new concepts and definitions and let go of misguided or misappropriated hopes. Such expectations only lead to disappointment. Be forewarned, the masculine side will be emphasized and that can be a little too singular. This can be problematic in significant relationships. 

The Sun enters Scorpio, another watery sign that emphasizes emotions. The health of a loved one may consume your attention. Venus entering Scorpio on the same day deepens your relationships and puts you in close touch with those you love. When the Moon enters Scorpio it will eclipse the Sun and the theory is nothing will stay the same. For you it is about self-developmental advantages and connections that can turn out successfully. It is a new moon so hopefully this will be a new trend. As a deadline draws closer the stress and tension of all that is involved becomes more intense. You think someone is being a little headstrong about their opinion but you are missing the fact that they just need to be heard. Over the few days that Mercury takes to resume direct motion you will receive some interesting intuitive thoughts and feel strongly that you are picking up on someone's psyche. Mars in Capricorn, your polar opposite sign, can make you a little too vigilant about protecting and guarding where none is needed. Ceres operating through Sagittarius produces the element of guilt which can be used to manipulate and control people according to your own focus. If other people feel like they are losing their ability to control their own life because of these strictures there will be opposition if not rebellion. Thankfully some laid-back energy comes on stream to cool you down before you provoke others to feel like they are threatened. Your ideals are not expected to be the ideals of everyone so you cannot project punishment or consequences on the basis of what you believe even if there is consensus. It will avoid a lot of confusion and misunderstanding if you realise this. The situation is not falling apart like you fear; it is not what you expect but nonetheless it is coming together in the right way. You just need to get out of the way. There will be great enthusiasm, happy laughter and great joy that will be shared by many not just family. If you make plans and you want to include everyone make sure it suits their convenience too. You can get a little carried away with self-authority. Other people will let you know their boundaries and limits and it will set you up on a whole new playing field with them. Yes you are losing some power in the exchange but you were assuming too much to begin with. Things do not work well when there is an imbalance. It has gone as far as it can go without resentment occurring. Awareness is a good thing but it leaves you feeling bad about yourself, do not, just adapt. Mercury entering Scorpio at this time could make tension more volatile, passion more intense and conflict too easy to provoke. Then two most powerful planets converge to set off the fireworks if there are any. Family issues need to be cleared not dominated. Everyone needs to heal. You cannot suppress someone's anger it will turn explosive because it has been wounded and repressed for too long unheard. Understand this and give people the space they need to achieve the best for all. Consequences are an unavoidable occurrence. Whatever you have caused, you will feel its effect. There is always denial but it would not be uplifting or healing. No other choice but coming clean fits the individualism that is needed now. Change from personal conviction to mutual benefit and everyone will win. Life is a dance of interaction and interdependence and you are learning the steps of inclusivity. It is time to strengthen the integrity of consensus involvement. Do not let the ideal of "we are all one" deflate your individuated spirit. There is a merging that will take place to homogenise your uniqueness within that concept now that Neptune is stationing direct. Venus in Sagittarius can make relationships a little contrary or awkward but there is fun and eccentricity too. You along with every other human being are having your synapses rewired so you can use your brain in a new way. You will notice that you think differently but are comfortable with it. Nothing ever remains the same and you will thrive on new invention. This is a soul changing experience. Your mind is made more optimistic, progressive and open. It is a welcome change in the light of what seems to be a time of pessimism. It is not a time for questioning as much as it is for believing. The future is a new dream. An unfamiliar strength will rise up within you. There will be a rebirth of resilience.

The Sun shifts into the sign Scorpio, a challenging angle to Leo. It brings the retail therapist out in you meaning you are prepared to spend money to change challenge into beneficial advantage. Venus also enters Scorpio bringing her depth of passion and charm of attraction with her. Being close to someone and spending intimate moments together, sharing and caring eases the soul. When the Moon enters Scorpio we have a Solar Eclipse that includes Venus. Venus and the Eclipse for your sign are all about relationship. There are very positive influences, a sense of satisfaction and powers of attraction. The new moon Solar Eclipse brings new trends. Eager and enthusiastic for your new projects and goals there are good intentions. The joy of independence is mixed with the anticipation of meeting new people. Mercury will resume direct motion over a few days, dragging its feet a little to make the point and give a few last frustrations. Mars entering Capricorn is a signal to you that it is the time of hibernation and vulnerable health. You are prepared to address both ideas. Perhaps you will chose to retreat into the warmth of the Sun in southern latitudes or at the very least develop a health giving routine for the winter days ahead. Ceres is now entering Sagittarius and will occupy it for a time. This nurturing planet certainly thrives on travel, adventure, exploration and expanding the mind through reading and learning. It could very well be that this is a turning point for you after four or so years of active involvement it is time to upgrade and change your concentration and focus. What will be next, it is a mystery and a curiosity you wish to explore. Your ideals will be tested in the marketplace of life to render them more useful so be prepared to have long standing beliefs altered. You are lucky and fortunate, there is little doubt that you feel peaceful and in touch with yourself and your senses. A few contrary things can happen but overall life is falling together. Daylight savings comes to an end; it changes the pattern of day and night which is a little unsettling for you. It brings out a quirk of being headstrong and wilful, in control and convicted with your own beliefs and this makes you a force to be reckoned with. There is a whole new playing field opening up to you, the unfamiliarity and lack of routine makes you more cautious about your decisions. Where things have gone as far as they can go there is a breakdown phase that has to occur to rebuild on new foundations. There are occurrences when you will feel out of your league, vulnerable and sensitive. However Mercury entering Scorpio pushes you to do your very best. There is a combustible combination of explosive energies building so there is bound to be stress and tension. But this can also intensify the experience of fun. You blast through old barriers and form new connections of a beneficial nature. Old anger gets revisited; perhaps the nature and emotion involved is revised and you and others can be healed by this disentanglement. One way or another consequence plays an important role in what you experience now. An echo of past events can stimulate recall. A friend may wound you unintentionally in an emotional way. You have all the pep you need to charge forward but these silly things seem to cause you to hang back. The sooner you take charge of dealing with the shadowy stuff the sooner you will get going. Competitiveness, differing viewpoints, conflicts and other drama interferes with your objectives. A grab for power will not go unnoticed. Neptune will resume direct motion after standing still for a few days. A little disorienting you may feel like you are in a bit of a fog. Venus entering Sagittarius should bring some excitement and maybe even passion into your event field. Shake off the dross; unload the baggage that wants to take up space in your head, let good thoughts converge. Nothing is the same, you wanted it this way. Take your time to come out of your shell. Gather more details. Good things are happening quietly and maybe even behind the scenes. Everyone has dreams that never come true; it is a nightmare to wish for things that cannot be realised. It is best if you do not torture yourself. You will be pulled in a few directions but you must remain true to yourself. 

As the Sun enters Scorpio your biological rhythm changes with the season. You are very aware of the change in nature as it recedes in the fall. Venus enters into Scorpio following the Sun. Its artistic character enhances your enjoyment of the beauty of the changing colours. The end of things is palpable. When the Moon joins them in Scorpio there is an eclipse of the Sun. There will be realisations about the important relationships that have filled your life. This new moon makes you very aware of your own illusions. You identify hopeful expectations that may have been more of a fantasy. At the same time you are busy making a beginning, taking up a new project or busily engaged in something you enjoy. The inner child needs some attention. A demanding child would be the synchronistic symbol of this inner need. Mercury resumes direct motion over a few days but standing still it accomplishes little and so you may feel the same. Mars entering Capricorn will fire you up. You get the energy and drive to push yourself into whatever you need to do. Ceres wandering into Sagittarius can give you wild cravings for comfort food but you may forego food in preference for work too. Attachments to things or people and people's attachment to you continue to play a big role in personal choice. You are strong and versatile, perceptive and sensitive; so intuition can be profound. The ideal lures you into trouble whereas an open and exploratory mind leads you to self-mastery. Let whatever must subside with the ebbing energies. It is as it should be. Let go, be detached, break away and refocus. Let the chips fall where they may. Most positive possibilities will manifest out of what was. It will be good for the ego. You act decisively with excellent strategy. The rules of active involvement are due to experience many changes. They can come up in day to day activities like dealings with the bank or other institutions. You notice all the little differences. In many cases the situation has gone as far as it can go without alteration so what is happening now is just adjustment and adaptation to realistic terms. Being stretched you feel vulnerable, especially with your work. Mercury resumes occupation of Scorpio after a leave of absence. The intensity of your thoughts impacts you. As powerful planets converge you need to pick your words carefully, monitor your actions and maintain calm deliberation. Other people interfere with your ability to follow your own direction. Issues arise over money. Unresolved anger, conflict or frustration can create unusual states and curious behaviours. You see this in others. The results of the past or an assessment of your intentions will create the consequences that you will face now. You will have gained grace in any area you have worked to master. The wounds of shocking events remain in your memory perhaps your dreams but you will be healing them and silencing the alarm. It is hard to move forward with any speed when you have a cloak still shrouding you. Get the body moving with rhythm. Dance in your mind and let the body pick up the beat. Analysing your situation is normal but being able to be clear and analytical about where you stand with someone is helpful. When Neptune stands still, getting ready to move direct, it can cause you to doubt or hesitate, feel vulnerable and changeable. Venus will enter Sagittarius over this time eventually building a positive framework out of seemingly bleak circumstances. It helps to change your point of view. Dimensional shifts can occur when you are willing to rewire your synapses and so think differently. It is a time that requires inventiveness, thinking outside the box, following your talented perceptions. You are in a positive flow. Promote yourself. Be successful with your work. Grow and expand feeling confident. Rebuild those hopes, wishes and dreams instead of trying to resuscitate the old ones. There are as many ways to look at something as there are people involved. In these times it is not valid to say there is only one right or one wrong. You will not betray your values but you will become more flexible with the right encouragement. 

The Sun leaves your sign and crosses the cusp into Scorpio. You are still super charged from its occupation and enjoying the sense of direction you have. Venus leaving Libra and entering Scorpio very quickly after the Sun adds to your accelerated sense of direction but warns you may have to be patient. As the Moon crosses into Scorpio it forms a Solar Eclipse. There is a lot of karma and consequence to this new moon. Seems relationships will be affected in an indelible way. You are creating a new pet project or getting involved in a special activity, drawing it up in your thoughts before committing anything to paper or action. Metabolic changes or electrical system misfires can affect how well you feel or how well you digest. You will adapt to this. Mercury stands still, deciding nothing while you have many choices to make. It will resume direct motion as will your decisions. Mars entering Capricorn may be a signal that it is time to get down to work. You spend a majority of your energy making up for lost time. When Ceres enters Sagittarius you will feel the need to reach out to people that you know are in need or distress. The end of a time of endurance is drawing close. The new arrangements will occupy your thoughts. A sense of peace with moving ahead is the indication it is time to do so. You can however go overboard with your ideals, beliefs and philosophies thinking it is the answer for everyone. There are many people you can help just as long as you do not try to help everyone with the same theme. Innovation provides a wide choice of interests. Just because you cannot keep to the same routine habitual path it does not mean your situation is falling apart. You are realising yourself in a new pattern. Expending too much energy without taking good enough care of yourself will overload your immune system, it is a good thing it is strong to begin with. When you feel yourself getting too headstrong and wilful, retreat, retire, withdraw. You are entering a whole new set of circumstances but the force of doing the right thing is with you. There is no way back to a situation that had gone too far. Do not engage in a power struggle for anything, it is not worth it. You will use your increased sensitivity like an antennae picking up from your environment. The desire to escape visits you briefly just before Mercury enters Scorpio. With Mercury operating through Scorpio you have more endurance to keep you on track. Then two very powerful planets converge and send shockwaves off in the direction of a third planet that sits directly opposite to you. The emanation's impact can be life changing in a dramatically positive way. It can blow off accrued karma and bring grace. This combination is nevertheless profoundly intense and volatile so avoid road rage, conflict in a public place, enraged people and areas of high crime. Do not become the victim of circumstance. Best if you keep out of harm's way. Some aspects of what you have been taught to believe will not prove to be what you must believe now. There is great healing available, compensation for pain, hurt and woundedness but also unburdening the soul of anger or the images of warfare. The aftershocks of the convergence will ricochet around the zodiac again with Libra in a primary receiving position. However the energy waves may fall around you rather than on you as you seem to be sheltered on your path of purpose. You are taking steps beyond the drama and illusion of limitation. Pushing forward is not easy if there is any darkness shadowing you. Shake it off, shift out of it with the help of these influences. Memories and impressions can cloud what should be a clear vision. With effort it will be and you will get a sense of where your future will take you. Do a little dance; acknowledge the soul's need to express. Personal power is giving way to collective cooperation and consensus development which is something you are very good with. The stationing of Neptune can make things a bit fuzzy but if you tune into the imagination or intuition they will be very sharp. Venus has speeded through Scorpio and now is crossing the cusp into Sagittarius. Its influence is helpful. It affords you the space and time that you need and gives you great latitude to accomplish your goals. Upgrading the synaptic connections and guidance systems takes place while you function as normal. However, this is a tipping point for things that cannot be fixed, cannot continue or have to be reinvented. You have the Midas touch with information. What you need to know you can put your finger on quickly. Being resourceful makes you feel good about yourself especially because information changes so quickly in modern times. You are guided to acquire a new vision of what will be with this access to information. On an accelerated path of learning time will pass quickly. Distractions can pull you off in a few directions. It will be difficult to stay on track but your learning beacon has a homing device that helps you recover from an unavoidable detour.
