AstroRain Report October 29 - November 4
We’re at First Quarter Aquarius Moon square Scorpio Sun presenting the challenges we’d best focus on with intention, boldness and most importantly compassion. If we remain in alignment with our own authenticity the next week will go smoother on the particularly bumpy road to the Full Moon on November 5th. Intensity builds toward the lunation requiring fine tuned practices and open awareness. If maintaining equanimity we maximize possibilities for personal transformations as the Lights “turn on” full blast. For those born in the years 1945-49, 1988-90 having extra powerful experience as natal Pluto is squared or opposed by Ta**us Moon.
Wed 29 9:21 am Sun-Moon square starts us off with emphasis on where bringing together deeply felt emotional states with mental clarity needed as much as possible. Free of succumbing to one or the other. All aspects and voices must be acknowledged for optimal navigation of these stormy waters. And Mars trine Saturn in water signs addresses that realm with activation of the energy of raw emotions needing to be channeled for healing and balance. Those planets increase volume on the inner voice and offer a productive ways to work with whatever arises. Meanwhile Mercury has entered Sagittarius opposing erratic and inspirational Uranus around midday for mental breakthroughs, crazy good conversation or writing, surprises and shocking messages no doubt. Mercury’s been in heightened Trickster mode since the 22nd when it entered the “shadow” degrees before retrograde begins November 9. That means any contacts with Uranus are bound to be particularly out of sight,
Practicing mindfulness always a good idea, also willingness to entertain the most peculiar or outside our experience ideas and tactics. Of course the review aspect of Mercury’s cycle is with us encouraging all of it and cautioning to not jump into anything important without thorough going over. Winged Messenger also warns “watch your step” as Uranus speeds up already fast moving feet and/or vehicles. Planet of communication urges us over next few weeks especially to connect with each other with concerns,fears, insecurities. This fuels the kind of coming together most desperately needed now. And we all ahve important decisions to make over 6 weeks ahead. And in the area of life where 22 Scorpio to 7 Sagittarius fall in natal charts.
Thur 30 Mercury the Magician in favorable aspect with Pluto the transformer assures deep conversation, thinking, writing if we don’t squander the opportunity. Ability to be present and authentic in all those areas is pronounced, words and gestures go further than usual in impact. Aquarius Moon trine Venus early afternoon benefits interactions of all kinds with a relatively lighter, easier quality. Evening lunar patterns can fuel curiosity perhaps leading to a new perspective, while last aspect square Mars cautions using more skillfulness in expressing emotions or may lead to succumbing to most negative feelings.
Fri 31 Pisces Moon in conflict aspect with Uranus and Mercury early may compel speaking too soon or promoting misunderstanding in one way or another. However could be excellent for creative expression, especially writing and singing or exploring the realm of psychic perception. Moon’s evening trine to Scorpio Sun may expand on whatever we were about in the morning, offering more ease in self expression. We can ask for healing dreams before going to sleep or sing a sweet song, spirit to spirit, to someone with whom we have a painful relationship. Sometimes making a silent prayer or communicating in spirit with another is the most powerful thing we can do.
Sat 1 Venus in one of her home signs still opposes Chiron, the bridge into our multi-dimensionality where all the miraculous resides. Pisces Moon endorses that level of experiencing ourselves and the world we’re part of. Get ready though, the dreaded and nonsensical (in a particularly bad way) time change is happening overnight. At least at this time of year there’s the illusion of gaining an hour. In any case it always has negative impact on our natural circadian rhythm, an important aspect of well being, encouraging getting off balance in physical equanimity.
Sun 2 Very early Luna trine Mars and opposite Neptune may well emphasize a sense of altered time, feeling fuzzy or ungrounded. However that makes it a good time for meditation, dreaming, diving into fantasy or going back to sleep. By 7:39 am Moon enters Mars’ ruler Aries with a call to action that must be responded to over next 2 days into Tuesday morning with potentially kick ass Full Moon imminent if ignored. Venus square Jupiter offers a generous amount of good feelings though, along with favoring improvements in all kinds of relationships money matters, artistic endeavors and social situations. Must exercise a bit of restraint with the possible excesses encouraged by this combination, but all out graciousness, empathy, and truly beneficent caring for each other are best possibilities.
Mon 3 Moon’s sign ruler Mars in Scorpio trine Neptune signals following instincts to find the most positive way forward, willing to trust that way of choosing which direction to take, a few hours before Mars enters Sagittarius for next 6 weeks. That will be a more adventurous, freewheeling period where taking risks and exploring all kinds of new territory is calling us out of our all too little world.
Tues 4 8:16 am Moon enters earth sign Ta**us making a tense aspect with Mars right off strongly suggesting a shift in what we’d thought we’d do, while Mars opposes Uranus ensuring that will be unexpected, surprising, shocking and/or inspired. Another day to be extra cautious in movements as accidents can happen with the 2 most sudden movement oriented planets facing off. In the larger realm righteous anger is growing into an explosion of resistance to any inhumane, authoritarian, against the People actions hitting us every day.
