Good Morning!
Today Venus has moved stationary direct at 25’15” of Libra! She will still be traveling through her shadow period for about another month (and ingressing into Scorpio again), but her direct motion means that we will now experience more clarity around issues related to relationships, creative expression, self worth, finances and our social needs. This time should be bringing some balance to any unsettling experiences Venus’ retrograde through Scorpio may have revealed. Have we been able to shed some of those unconscious layers in order to see the Truth of any situation? Venus’ direct motion allows us to move forward and implement what we have learned over the last 40 days of her retrograde and in her home sign of Libra, will assist us in finding the balance and harmony we desire in our relationships. Ruby Slipper Astrology writes of this time, “By now, you should have more certainty about what you want, what you’re worth and who really loves you. If this means saying goodbye, so be it.”
The Moon in Pisces sextiles Saturn in Capricorn until 10:27am (MST). This will hep us be more cautious in our approach; slowing us down and allowing us to see the facts of any situation. This may be a time of focusing in the moment on what needs to get done in our lives. Any pressing issue can be handled this morning before Mercury begins to move retrograde and square Neptune after this time.
Mercury stations retrograde at 6:33pm (MST) at 13’28” Sagittarius and will retrograde back to 27’17” of Scorpio by November 6ht, 2018, when Mercury moved direct. Mercury retrograde in Sag will ask us to review the big picture of our lives; questioning any big plans we may have on the horizon. With Mercury moving into Scorpio during her retrograde, more Truth may be revealed, helping us to clarify our choices. Mercury is in a very close aspect squaring Neptune today, indicating a theme of this Mercury retrograde relating to optimism and the ideal verses over expansion and loosing touch with reality. Therefore we would be advised to take our time when making important decisions. This is an energy of great compassion and empathy through communicating, but not always the best for seeing things clearly in order make the best decision. Mercury and Neptune will square one more time on December 24th, 2018, after Mercury moves direct, which will allow us to see where we may have been believing in a fantasy verse what is really possible.
The Moon in Pisces squares Mercury in Sagittarius for the remainder of the day. There may be some confusion in knowing what we feel which may require extra emphasis on trusting our intuition to guide us. Mercury in Sagittarius can see many options and enthusiastically expresses all possibilities while the Moon in Pisces feels it’s way through the fog. Finding the balance is important. This would also be a time to avoid exaggerated escapist tendencies as we can go over board at this time and we are more sensitive to impurities.
Be well!
