We're now entering a very productive period for the next 10 days!
We just had a Venus sextile Pluto opposition Jupiter, giving us a period of productive consolidation related to people, things, and money. While the oppositions challenge balance, the long wave Jupiter trine Pluto is very favorable for everyone with planets in early Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.
Over the next 4 days, Mercury will follow and make the same aspects to the same planets. So instead of these awareness producing energies being triggered by Venus, they'll be triggered by Mercury, bringing clear ideas and deeper insights into play. It's a great time for elimination and regeneration related to what we need and care about, and what we don't need and don't care about.
After Mercury brings understanding and signals around the Venusian experiences, next week is overall fairly productive and harmonious, with very few days of conflict. Pay close attention to what comes down when the Moon is in early Cancer on Tuesday, since that shows the ideal building energy in these opposition, sextile, and trine configurations. Speaking of which, the Sun will close the pattern between October 23-29, so get ready for illumination, integration, and power related to what Venus has shown us and Mercury's about to show us.
After the New Moon at 4 Scorpio on October 26, 12:56 pm PDT, 3:56 pm EDT, 8:56 pm Greenwich, we'll be thrown into much more dynamic activity, whether conflict or a real turning point wherever we have late Leo and Scorpio in our birth charts. That Lunation shows a forming Venus square Mars and Mercury square Mars, so hand on to your seats since these will throw a lot of change into all our lives for most of November.
Relax into the next few days, since there's a lot of good that can come forth, a lot of productive actions, feelings, and thoughts, all leading us to sound understanding and for those with planets in early Taurus, a lot of promise for the future!

Next week sounds great! But what of this new moon...I have Leo at 27 degrees in the 9th house in the birth chart. I kind of like the way things are going...What sort of conflict or turning point do you envision? I also have a Leo moon in the 9th and Venus and Mercury in Taurus but in middle degrees. (6 and 7th houses).
Any insights are most appreciated! Will enjoy next week regardless... :-)
