Horoscope for the Week: October 8, 2021

Tip of the Week:

The waxing of the Libra triple planet New Moon (Sun + Moon + Mars all at 13 Libra) that occurred on October 6 is now underway. Looking at the chart as a whole, which is the key to understanding the destiny theme behind every New Moon, Venus, the ruling planet for Libra, is in Scorpio, the sign of espionage. Adding to this charged triple conjunction; Uranus is also positioned at 13 degrees, but of Taurus. This is a reflection of the economic reset underway. Mercury retrograde at 20-degrees Libra emphasizes heightened information exchange, nervously shared. Pluto was ‘stationary direct’ (SD) which means that it was at its most apparent standstill. The outer synchronicity of this stands to be a strong counter push from mainstream authorities to social revolutionary opposition. It is worth noting that the relative state of freedom and democracy we all enjoy currently, or until recently, was hard won by revolutionaries who recognized that freedom traded for security leads to having neither.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A dance of diplomacy reveals a mix of high and powerful leaps, graceful pirouettes and brilliant choreography. This metaphor refers to strong communications and exchanges on relationship fronts. The tone and tenor will prove dramatic and palpable. Yet, just as much will be occurring in your subconscious mind, life may suddenly seem surreal.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

Making improvements wherever you can will lead to transformational results. Your mind is sharp and your powers of critical analysis will be formidable. However, you may be intuitively guided to keep your thoughts to yourself, even though another part of you would rather speak openly. This could manifest as a brooding mood. Think twice, speak once!

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

A creative mood prevails. Preferring to be honest, yet concerned regarding reactions to doing so, is a prevalent theme for everyone currently. Finding your authentic voice, therefore, may prove extra challenging. You may notice that you will take a circuitous and philosophical approach as opposed to speaking plainly, which will likely prove wise.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

Complexity close to home is a likely theme now. Home could refer to your family or perhaps to your workplace. Either way, circumstances will likely take several more twists, or more, over the coming weeks. This could even manifest as an apparent sudden change especially when the Moon waxes to full in Aries. Focus on being ready.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

In addition to a steady stream of original, creative thoughts, habitual modes of perception are also changing. Inspirations, epiphanies and inventiveness are all present. These will require patience and determination to do the work required to bring them into reality.  Yet, for now, the main thing is to capture them as well as you can.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

It may feel as though you have entered a foggy patch. This is requiring you to slow down and to be more deliberate in your thinking and approach. This is not due to a lack of desire; in fact, just the opposite. In some respects, you just want to be left alone from outside distractions and intrusions of any kind. You yearn for peace above all.

 Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The bull in the china shop metaphor applies now. You are in a strident mood. The greater your conviction, the more righteous you feel. Yet, since life does not judge but does teach by consequences, it might prove wise to review your beliefs or at least to carefully consider your approach before you commit to words and actions.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Ongoing activities behind the scenes have entered the next chapter and the plot is getting thicker. You want to express yourself fully, yet may also feel the need to do so anonymously. On the other hand, you may be contending with inner blocks that may be manifesting as procrastination or even as self-sabotage. Rest assured, destiny is also covertly at work.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A rebellious mood is getting stronger. You may even wonder if there is something wrong. It may feel like an aspect of your mind is imploding. This may manifest as impatience or anger, or both. Knowing where and how to best direct your thoughts and emotions is another challenge. Focus on making changes where you can as with your own attitude and approach.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The New Moon in your career and public life and status sector indicates an emphasis on this area for the coming weeks. The cycle actually began a couple of weeks ago, but now it will advance to the next level. Overcoming doubts and insecurities is featured. Gaining favors by those in positions of power and influence is likely thanks to the role of Venus

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

The desire to see a bigger picture continues strongly. Yet, you may have to contend with feeling a little lost and confused for a while, due to the role of Mercury retrograde in Libra. It may prove wise to slow down for a while and to redirect some of your focus to more research or, better yet, to begin or deepen your meditation practice

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)                

Subtly but surely, a transformational process continues within you. Prior self-concepts, attitudes and relationships orientations are featured. This metamorphosis could prove larger and more apparent if other factors of destiny are present. Either way, it will linger into early November progressively manifesting as a spirited orientation and perhaps even assertion to higher principles  of truth and liberty.
