This week, as Mercury and Mars change signs, Venus will make a Scorpio ingress on October 8th. The progression into the next sign is always a change in polarity. The sign of Scorpio (negative polarity), while ruled by Pluto, is known for secretiveness, and therefore Venus in that sign is unlikely to yield identities. Venus is the ruler of Libra, so in leaving Libra, the message has been heard, now the role of the “whistleblower” is to maintain silence. Mars in the sign of Libra on Thursday, becomes an activating force for balancing opposing viewpoints, tending to become more extreme in the later degrees. Differences in comprehension of the published exchanges between Trump and the Ukraine’s President Zelensky, from Trump and his supporters, and from what can be understood clearly and what is increasingly denied has us wondering about the future of the government, which seems to be on the road to demise. Mercury’s opposition aspect to Uranus beginning on the 6^th of October could indicate a startling development.

Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Thursday October 3^rd – The Moon in Sag forms a square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Neptune, bringing into focus the dissolution of political position as it transits Jupiter, possibly involving a major revelation of intrigue.  Blocking the spread of rampant disbelief, the political powers disseminate opposing answers appeals to the uninitiated.  Lacking any basis, puts the purveyors into jeopardy. Mars clings to the final degree of Virgo, an obsessive degree, vulnerable to neurosis. The Moon’s semi-sextile aspect (30 deg, push) to Saturn and to Pluto brings Jupiter to bear on the entrenched offices concerned with the eroding credibility (Neptune sextile aspect – 60 deg, friendly -to Saturn). 

Friday October 4^th – The Moon ingress to Capricorn in the afternoon hours, forms a square aspect to Mars’ ingress to Libra. Libra weighs both sides of the conflict, while Mars has a goal to achieve, which is conflicts with the Moon in Capricorn’s desire for stability and charm. The charm offensive is likely to upset the balance even more. The Sun and Venus are also in Libra, in the second and third decant, and may be unwilling to negotiate with the radical positions offered.

Saturday October 5^th – The Third Quarter Moon in the afternoon hours (See image above) in the US, night hours around the world, foments a crisis with announcements that are probably anticipated. The Moon in Capricorn transits Ketu and Saturn, signifying a spiraling down of authority. Jupiter and Ceres square aspects (90 deg, harsh) to Neptune, while the Moon and Saturn are sextile aspect (60 deg, helpful) to Neptune, further erode authority. While the sextile aspect is usually favorable, when the two planets involved (Saturn and Neptune) conflict,  the combination encourages deception.

Sunday October 6^th – The Sun in Libra approaches the square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Saturn in Capricorn, for compensatory actions, as balance of authority remains a goal. The Moon ingress to Aquarius late in the day in the US or morning hours worldwide, with a trine aspect (120 deg, easy) to Mars in Libra, awakens the ideals necessary to a replacement of the stated agenda.

Monday October 7^th – The Moon in Aquarius is at the focal point of the T-square, with Mercury in Scorpio and Uranus in Taurus, in an opposition aspect (180 deg, tense), early in the day US times, afternoon worldwide.  With the on-going conflicts of government vs the voters in several nations around the world, conflicts can reach a tentative resolution. However, Ceres in Sagittarius and square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Neptune in Pisces, as also disingenuous idealism makes demands that are met with disbelief.  The Moon is then in a trine aspect (120 deg, flowing) to the Sun in Libra, with a wider acceptance of the proposals. The Sun square aspect to Saturn with another blow to authority, as conflicts become open and defined.

Tuesday October 8^th – The Moon is now in a sextile aspect (60 deg, friendly) to Ceres in Sag, as co-ordination between the groups in resurrection is attained, and the Moon moves on to a sextile aspect with Jupiter, for a wider acceptance of the agreement’s workability.  Mars in Libra is in an opposition aspect to Chiron in Aries, as a wider access to acceptable rational helps to bring calm.  Venus ingress to Scorpio at the end of the day, asks for comprehensive emotional appeal, and a possible transformation of group mentality.
