An Overview of Powerful Forces Unleashed at the End of October 2019

by Robert Wilkinson

Current events are ramping up the pressure on everyone. What are the astrological correlations? Today’s a one stop shop.

Remember we just had Mars square Saturn culminate yesterday. That is a powerful aspect often associated with Saturn putting the brakes on Mars, or Mars pushing against Saturn’s structure and/or inertia. It will be active for the next few days, so take a look at what’s happening, since we now are in the hot zone of Mars approaching its square to Pluto!

Basically, if you’re out on a limb, back off and back down. Try to avoid extreme, corrosive, and/or dishonest people or situations. The square from Libra to Capricorn requires appropriate Aries and Cancer responses. Be genuine, be proactive, be caring, be sensitive, and protect your right to be yourself. This will continue through the square to Pluto.

The benefit in all of this is the Sun in Scorpio in very favorable aspects to both Saturn and Pluto. This allows us to work with magnetism over time, and cut to the heart of any matter. The Sun quintile Saturn just past, with Sun quintile Pluto still forming, allows us to see clearly what is going on at the core of things.

Mercury and Venus are conjunct in late Scorpio as Mercury approaches its retrograde. While they’re in an irrational aspect to Saturn and Pluto, they’re also in a favorably serendipitous aspect with Neptune. So it is a turning point, but interactive gifts and blessings are there for those who know how to blend late Scorpio with mid-Pisces energies.

I gave you two New Moon articles filled with good information about what to expect these next 4 weeks. I’ve also begun to post the Mercury retrograde articles which give even more of the qualities of this strange time we’re in. So for your reconsideration, articles posted last week which went downstream quickly. And remember, with a retrograde upon us, many things won’t be resolved for weeks to come, even though they are good periods for busting past crimes and revealing things concealed before this time. ‘Tis the season of the detective!

Here are 4 articles you may want to give a second look.
