October 2024
Violence Is Not A Solution - Love Is The Answer
October is probably the calmest month we will experience over the next seven months. Prepare for world changes that challenge us to grow together. Take steps to become stronger emotionally and spiritually. Growing is a challenge, but we are better for the transformation.
The New Moon Eclipse
October 2 at 1:50 pm CDT in Libra at 10 degrees
October opens with the new Moon/solar eclipse in Libra. Since this new Moon is an eclipse, it is an extra special new beginning. Libra is the sign of relationships and finding balance. Over the next several months many of us will be starting new relationships that can be love or business. Partnerships of all sorts can be consummated, but must be based on the balance of give and take. Any relationship that is out of balance will be corrected or come to an end.
At the same time as this new Moon, Venus in Scorpio is harmoniously trine Saturn in Pisces. This is a wonderful aspect for making a commitment for love or friendship. Saturn is retrograde in Pisces so you want to be sure you are fully committed to the other person and that that person is responsible in their behavior.
A solar eclipse last occurred on October 3, 2005 at the same position in Libra. Reflect on that time to get an idea as to what you can expect in the coming months.
October 6 - 8
Mercury in Libra is ninety degrees from Mars in Cancer October 6. This is a time when tempers are short. Many of us are trying to get projects started. When circumstances and people do not cooperate some of us are sure to lose our cool. This is especially true for Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Slow down and take a breath. Let the process proceed.
Venus in Scorpio is trine Mars in Cancer October 8. Good sex is always a good way to make up. Venus and Mars at this angle bring spice to life. Many of us are feeling frisky. With Mercury in Libra trine Jupiter in Gemini, a gift and kind words resolve tensions. Mercury and Jupiter make this a great time for a quick romantic getaway.
Jupiter retrograde
Jupiter turns retrograde every year. This year it happens in Gemini from October 9 to next February 4. Jupiter moved into Gemini May 25/26. While Jupiter is retrograde, progress accomplished since May is challenged. Many of us will have to back track and redo. Hopefully, the world will stop talking so much and saying nothing while Jupiter is retrograde.
Pluto Direct October 11
Pluto in Capricorn since 2008 has been retrograde since May 2. Pluto started its retrograde at 2 degrees Aquarius and has moved back to the 29th degree of Capricorn. Pluto will not be in Capricorn at twenty-nine degrees for another 248 years. Capricorn is the sign of authority. While Pluto has been in Capricorn we have seen authority and authoritarian movements across the world. We have seen weakness in our social structures and in our leaders. This is probably the last hurrah for those at the top tier and oldest generation alive. Established ideals and social structures are having their swan song. Once Pluto moves into Aquarius November 20, a twenty year shift of power from the few to the masses takes place. World culture will change like we have not seen in our lifetimes. Do not be afraid.
Presently we are seeing big dissatisfaction by people in this country and around the world. One example is the Bai Lan movement in China wherein the young people are giving up and not cooperating with the narrative of the leaders. Bai Lan means let it rot. The result is that China’s young people are not contributing to the economy. They have given up because there are no jobs. This is a movement of hopelessness and rejection of the competitive lifestyle in a country wherein most people work six days a week for twelve hours a day. This is an example of a reaction to a social structure that does not work for everyone.
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius, the French citizens revolted against the status quo of feudalism. Earlier in the Pluto transit of Aquarius the American revolution was won.
At the same time the United States is finishing its first Pluto return. That Means that Pluto has come back to the position where it was when the United States was formed. This country is embarking on a new era. Will we go forward or backward? There are many different ideas as to what constitutes forward and backward.
Consciousness regarding our quality of life is changing. The old guard will be replaced by new ideas and leaders across the planet over the next twenty years.
Just as Pluto is moving direct, Mercury is ninety degrees from Pluto October 13. The Sun in Libra forms the same angle to Pluto October 22. Talk will be viscous. People in the news and in our individual worlds try to manipulate our opinions. Know the facts whether it is at home, the office, or on the world stage.
While we are recovering from the lashing of Mercury square Pluto, the Sun is trine Jupiter and square Mars. Some of us are lucky and some of us are making snap decisions.
Still, during these same days, Venus opposite Uranus brings upsets and uncertainty. Venus is also trine Neptune in Pisces affording us the ability to see the best side of everything and everyone. Remove those rose colored glasses.
The Full Moon October 17 in Aries at 6:27 am CDT at 24 degrees
At this full Moon, Venus in the late degrees of Scorpio is sextile Pluto in Capricorn. Venus and Pluto add a lot of passion to this full Moon in Aries. This Aries Moon alone has lots of fire and passion. We are sure to see lots of activity regarding the wars and battles in the news and in our own lives. Fear and conflict is sure to be abundant. Slow down and get what you want done methodically. This can be a very productive time so use common sense as opposed to making rash decisions. Warlike actions and behavior will be in the news.
Just as Venus was happily trine Saturn October 4, Mercury forms the same angle to Saturn October 21/22. Calm words and cool heads prevail. Remember, though, the Sun is square Pluto creating an unpleasant push to gaslight and manipulate us.
October 24-31
Mars in Cancer, agitating our need for security, is productively sextile Uranus in Taurus. The aspect is exact October 24. This is the time to embrace new ideas and independence. There will be many cases where ideas and conspiracies are thrown at the wall to see it they stick.
Days later on October 28, Mars is trine Neptune in Pisces. This aspect is a very creative and sensual combination. Cancer and Pisces are quite magnetic. Compassion and charm get any job or wish accomplished now.
It seems like there always has to be flip side on this planet of duality. This time it is Venus square Saturn that brings burdensome situations. Do not let the manipulators push you into doing something you do not want. Sometimes we must help ourselves before helping those who will not help themselves. This is one of those times.
The last two days of October bring us Mercury opposite Uranus and Mercury trine Neptune October 30 and 31 respectively. Mercury and Uranus bring glitches and sudden changes of plans. Schedules shift and change. Disruption occurs several days before and after these aspects. Embrace the disruptions. With Mercury trine Neptune kind words and charitable acts save the day.
2025 A Year That Will Go down In History
As this month of October winds down, Mars in Cancer moves to the late degrees of this sign coming into an opposition with Pluto now in the final degrees of Capricorn. Pluto in Capricorn is finishing its first return to its natal position in the United States chart dated July 4, 1776. The past is catching up with the United States and across the planet in that many unresolved issues must be addressed.
Mars is exactly opposite Pluto November 4. This is a turbulent time that is sure to determine the course of this country and the rest of the world. Anger and violence and disruption are sure to occur.
Remember that Pluto enters Aquarius November 20 and transits Aquarius for the next twenty years. Power shifts are ready to take place.
Mars turns retrograde in Leo December 4 and comes to an exact opposition to Pluto again during the first days of January 2025. This indicates more disruption and violence. As Mars turns direct February 24, there will be demonstrations and show downs between opposing forces. Mars, direct once again, opposes Pluto April 19 to May 10. The days and weeks around these times are volatile. Corruption and scandals are exposed on all fronts. What we have been told is not what is really happening.
Adding to this fire is that right now and through the beginning of February, Saturn is quincunx Saturn in the chart of the USA. This is karma coming to leaders at all levels. Truths are exposed. Blame will be placed and the population will be unnerved.
The nodes of the Moon shift signs January 12. It is an astrological cycle that we must contend with no matter who is in office in this country and around the planet.
During March, April, and May 2025 Saturn will be closely aligned with the North node of the Moon in Pisces. This brings a shift to the world economy and there is a possibility of assassination attempts on leaders somewhere.
This is a volatile time in the United States and the world. This volatility shows us we must change. Question those who are destructive and use volatile language. Remember, we are one and working together is how our ancestors gained our rights and won wars in the past. Do not be divided. We all deserve to live free and have food and places to live. We are living at this time to usher in a new age. The opportunity to make a difference is now at hand especially in the months ahead. Violence is not the solution. Love is the answer.
