Astrology in October 2013 – A Cardinal T-Square Today, Sun Square Jupiter for this Weekend

by Robert Wilkinson

Today the Moon in Capricorn is square the Sun in Libra and opposed Jupiter in Cancer. These types of aspects actually can hold great good if we use the energy correctly.

Sun square Jupiter culminates tomorrow (Sat) at 8:09 am PDT, 4:09 pm Greenwich (BST). This challenges us to get it in gear and keep it under gentle control, have our sense of humor front and center, not take unnecessary risks, and figure out what is the best we can do in this moment of the emergent Jupiter in Cancer energies. Here we turn a corner, and need to generate power, however that is interpreted.

This most impacts those with planets or angles near 19-23 Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, as well as 4-8 Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. Have fun, but have a sense of when it’s about to become too much. Let your imagination open up, but keep it as realistic as possible. This marks a shift in direction, so take the initiative to do whatever needs to get done, and don’t waste energy is wheel spinning.

This expands whatever it touches, so there should be some beneficial changes in the air, as long as expectations don’t get overblown. This begins the countdown to the coming Lunar Eclipse at 26 Aries-Libra coming on October 18, 4:38 pm PDT, October 19, 12:38 am Greenwich (BST). That one will kick the jams out, as will the coming Mercury retrograde beginning October 21, 3:29 am PDT, 11:29 am Greenwich. I’ll be posting more than a few articles on the Eclipse and Mercury retrograde beginning Monday, so stay tuned!

I have sensed and felt the tables in my life personally about to turn and the Lunar eclipse on my Asc/Dec axis makes sense to what has been building. Still in heavy grief from the passing of a blessed feline, yet as my Pluto/Chiron opposition is 5'Virgo/Pisces, I will do my best to have the faith and regain at least some of my sense of humour in rememberence of her own quirky ways during the almost 18 years she blessed us with as healing for all of us, including her, matters' even though a natural passing at such a grand age.

PS Mars will be conjunct my nth node during the T-square which I hope I manage to direct the energy in a positive passionate way.

My natal Libra Sun at 23 degrees, 11th house, natal Venus 8 degrees,Chiron 7 degrees in the 1st house and finally natal Jupiter 23 degrees 2nd house Cpricorn. i too, have been feeling a shift in a more positive direction. Can't explain it other than I feel calm:someting that hasn't happend much , if at all in the last five years. Perhaps I mnay be receiving my reward after being such a good student while Saturn was visiting Libra.

Hi all - This insight from friend of the site Matt. It's a perfect example of how to use the Sabian Symbols. The "Rabbi" is the degree of the Sun, the "wise owl" the degree of Venus: "It would appear the moon and Jupiter is putting the pressure on the proverbial rabbi within all of us this weekend while Venus is indicating an internal crisis between the traditional wisdom of that rabbi and the unique, poised view of a wise owl sitting in a tree. That it is Venus, and not, say, Mars, would suggest to me at least, there is some blessing and reward for reconciling the internal crisis."
