This Week’s Astro News You Can Use!
It’s a relatively quiet week astro-wise, except for Mercury who–since he slid into Scorpio October 9—meets retrograde Venus in Scorpio on the 15th.
The waxing monthly lunar cycle completes its tension-provoking first-quarter as the Capricorn Moon squares the Libra Sun the 16th. This cardinal square represents the first big push toward achieving the goal of balancing your own inner unconscious “animus” & “anima,” the task set in motion at the October 8 Libra New Moon.
Release that which no longer serves in your quest for partnership by strengthening your internal relationship to self first before seeking partnership with another or others. Once internally more whole, you’ll reflect that energy out into the universe and attract it back to you in the form of another/others who treat you well!
Mercury trines Neptune in Pisces on the 19th and squares Mars a few hours later. 
Mercury’s our intellect—how we think and express ourselves, including our soul’s deeper wisdom. In deep, intense, volatile, passionate, secretive, taboo-oriented, & potentially obsessive Scorpio, our thoughts turn toward getting to the bottom of things–like what we truly value…
Mercury’s our intellect—how we think and express ourselves, including our soul’s deeper wisdom. In deep, intense, volatile, passionate, secretive, taboo-oriented, & potentially obsessive Scorpio, our thoughts turn toward getting to the bottom of things–like what we truly value… Our minds may be on ferreting out information about relationships and/or money early in the week, but move toward compassion OR confusion, and then become verbally quick or angry by week’s end.
We won’t likely know exactly how this will play out for each of us until we get there, so probably best to ask the questions rather than answer them. If you do choose to answer, however, remember Mercury in Scorpio accepts nothing less than the TRUTH. So, since it’s about honesty, if it’s not the right time, then hold your responses for another time…
Meanwhile, we’re heading toward the October 24 Taurus Full Moon when the Moon meets Uranus in Taurus to oppose the Scorpio Sun & Venus retrograde, & they all square the transiting nodal axis. Shocks or surprises are in the air, so pay attention to the outer world as a reflection of your inner one between now and then so you can make the necessary changes as you go along…
