Fire Horse Reigns: October 12 2026
It may be air sign Libra’s month but make no mistake Fire Horse very much in charge until the next change in next year’s Chinese Astrology. Libra New Moon at 18th degree 8:50 am PDT on the 10th initiated a 2 week phase rich with opportunities for starting anew in partnerships, alliances and the clarity to see the changes needed. Explorations in this theme and in very big ways in matters of social justice continue through the Venus retrograde period ending November 13. Divisiveness abounds while we all go through the birth pangs of true, authentic human vales and what they mean for each of us in our own personal lives. Yes the personal is the political and never before been so acutely necessary to acknowledge. Now is a significant time for determining the qualities we intend to go forward with in all those areas. Standing in our truth and core values creates the most stable, productive and safe grounding possible. Relationships in any form going through changes that have been simmering beneath the surface and have come to a point of no way forward without mutual agreements on what the commitments are about.
As both Venus and Mercury have retrogrades in Scorpio details will be presenting themselves as to how to go about achieving the best outcomes. But we need to be prepared for the darker issues arising in this period in order to make truly beneficial decisions for all involved. Both planets move direct on the same day creating forward movement in how we operate day to day. If having done our work over past weeks clarity and relief will arrive. Venus won’t re-cross retrograde degree til December 10 for even more confidence in the areas of heart connections and prioritizing what alliances and uses of resources are best to commit to further. While how we attract all resources needed to function optimally a big part of this time as well. News flash: getting out of our own way becomes so much easier! And there’s a lot more of that to do with the layers of cultural indoctrination convincing us we’re so much less than what we are.
Meanwhile New Moon patterns include the extra stressful, Venus-Mercury, Mars T-Square to Pluto as the worst of what we need to address right before us. Aggressive energies are highlighted, something that must be walked away or confronted toe to toe, nothing else will work. With the possible anger, frustration, assaults on our sovereignty, we undergo revelations about finances, individual and collective. Being shown where the real problems are cannot, or for our own good should not, be denied. Along with the unsavory and hard to swallow are the remedial actions revealed to keep ourselves from falling into fear and pessimism, a sense of helpless ness.
With Pluto, guide through the underworld, turning direct on the 15th all that’s been hidden or misrepresented comes to light in even more dramatic exposes of how power has been abused in everything from personal relationships to government, extending into international agreements and manipulations. The oil crisis has Neptune-Pluto (and Uranus!) written all over it and those planets have the ultimate say in all such matters, regardless of what the lunatic human leaders say or do. Their time is at an end over coming years, could be sooner than later but is inevitable. Humanity headed for power relationships on the horizontal plane not the vertical top/down structure played out to the enth degree.
