It is a time of reaffirming & harmonizing our relationships with friends & partners, as well as a time of initiating friendships while autumn activities create a fresh working environment for many people.  New rules also set the standard for how to create a more harmonious environment in the days of autumn.  This Moon places an emphases (Libra) on laws, courts, the ligation process, custody battles, & the like. Justice comes when there is peace, but this is not always found in the courts.  The rest of the world will pretty much do what it has always done since the beginning of time, & not all matters are individually controllable.  In order to begin a new, the NM in Libra reminds us to seek peace within.  

10/8 Venus Station Retrograde (SR) 13 Scorpio 14 @ 3:06 AM  There are lessons to be re-learned about finances, loyalty (jealousy?) and intimacy.  Any imbalances in relationships became painfully apparent. A former partner could return for another try, to a current liaison may mimic a prior one.  When the past repeats, it's trying to teach us something that missed before.  

      For the second time this year a FM in Aries initiates rich, vibrant feelings.  In everyone the warrior spirit, inspiring the confidence & fortitude to preserve through the endless tests of life, especially the challenging tests of selfhood.  For some this is a restless & impatient time, & in many circles of life there will be a strong competitive spirit.  Strength & vitality are blessings that Aries Moon energy allows us to tap into, helping us handle the mounting task of the autumn in preparation for the pending storms of the season - a good time to take initiative with autumn projects.  While the Spirit of the Aries Moon may seem relentless to some, taking action to complete personal goals is the most natural way to channel this hard driving energy of this Moon.  Pace yourself today - do not burn out! 

Leo Moon is an excellent time to get into the mood for masquerading & Halloween frolic.  However, as the Moon opposes Neptune, then the Moon goes Void-of-Course (VoC), we might find that we are somewhat spacey & uncertain about our former inspirations.  An overwhelming depth of spirit carries us through the day despite the lack of organization & precision that comes with the VoC Moon time.   VoC & Neptune comes at 5:02 pm

26 Aquarius 04 The past 5 months were a time to address our internal wounds and be our own inspiration for improvement.  Now we can seek such assistance externally & provide it, as well.

25 Aquarius (Aq) 55 @ 1:05 am SR since 5/31 We have been turning inward to ourselves searching, seeking for  spiritual guidance, now we can incorporate input from others in matters of faith.  We  find it easier to trust people. 

Also, this SD will assist us regenerate our spiritual & intuitive work & facilitate our development.  Neptune in Aq, influencing the flow into the Aquarian age and the evolutionary process of belief systems.  Neptune is the master of illusion, while Aq demands scientific proof.  As Neptune proceeds in Aq, we will learn to achieve a higher & freer sense of spiritual awareness - a sense that something divine is occurring, even though it cannot be explained in mortal terms.  

          Since the late 20th century, Neptune has been in Aq filling our belief systems with a great deal of knowledge, & by April 2011, the planet of spiritual experience is infused with adaptable & inspiring venerability.  Neptune's calming & forgiving nature will help us to let go of malicious & non-productive thoughts, & will melt away cold - heartiness.  A good meditation, when sincerely applied helps to discharge our emotional baggage.  Frequently invoke the spirituality uplifting meditation that work for you.  Neptune moving freely forward, using divine wisdom & our spiritual aspirations as guides.  

13 Scorpio 40 @ 0:52 AM (Time to make you new Lunar Manifestation list.) Marks the regenerative point & in sign of Scorpio just happens to represent the phenomenon of regenerative force & transformation.  This NM focuses on a rebirthing process for our emotional closet.  It encourages us to regenerate our hopes while transforming our fears into a courageous and renewed out look for ourselves.  This is the time to make bold steps to defeat undesirable emotional patterns and fear mechanisms. This Moon casts a new light on our ability to overcome pain and suffering. 

Hecate's Moon: Hecate is the Wiccan Goddess of the underworld who leads us through death towards the cycle of rebirth.  She guides the lost souls to their final those who have passed on, especially those who have met their end in a demeaning & challenging way, such as a violent death or suicide.  Hecate cures the ills that surrounds death.

23 Pisces 30 @ 11:55 AM SR since 7/23 It is easier to grow and to make progress as Jupiter SD, and your pursuits are smother in higher education, long distance travel, legal matters or communications.  We benefit from others' wisdom and by taking risks.

 27 Libra 40 @ 4:19 PM  We feel more in balance.  People are better able to relate and take care of personal money matters.  Values are more easily understood and expressed.

29 Taurus 18 @ 12:27 PM (Time to burn your Lunar Manifestation List.) Moon opposite the Sun often brings moods that may seem overwhelmed by mutable thoughts just when we are trying to make decisions.  The degrees of this Moon are foretelling - this is the second of five Full Moons which fall in the same degree! (last degree of sign = 29 degrees)  This Moon is in Taurus, adverse to change,    prompts us to hang on to our habits & complies, leading us    off the known path.  At least our detour has a happy destination.  Moon goes VoC @ 12:27 pm then moves into Gemini @ 1:46 pm  the Gemini Moon energies bring its  glorious fullness, brings amazing talk, speeches, mind games  & intellectual pursuits.  People may tend to babble senselessly, & very few are able to keep their minds on what they are doing, thinking, or feeling for very long.  Ideally, this is a good time astrologically to pace oneself & relax the minds at various levels. It may also be a time when our minds are relentlessly active & difficult to calm or ease.  FM in Gemini goes straight  to charging our nervous systems, & we quickly discover that quieting down or easing an overworked nervous system takes some extra time after it has been running at top speed.     

       This Moon also closely aligns with the Pleiades (28 Taurus 36) a constellation that has been recognized by many cultures as an important influence in evolution of humanity.  Native American & African creation stories identify the Pleiades as ancestors who came to this world as starseeds, bringers of  light & knowledge; Egyptian & Mayan pyramids are specifically oriented toward this star cluster.  

       The Pleiades are located at one of the nodes (points of intersection) between galactic & supergalactic planes. Nodes represent doorways for accessing greater realities.  We are all aware of the Earth's path around the Sun, but much less cognizant of the immense galactic plane (the path traced by  our solar system's orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy) & the even vaster supergalactic plane (the orbital path of our Local Group - the family of 27 galaxies to which our  Milky Way belongs).  The fact that this Full Moon peaks close to this portal facilitates the expansion of our awareness beyond our third rock from the Sun & beyond three-dimensional reality.

Eyes & mouths open wide with curious    & chatty Mercury Sq Jupiter 9:19 am. exaggerating & misrepresenting facts are less useful expressions of this aspect. Yet, narrow points of view may be enlarged, & frank conversations could reveal important truths.  The mental energy of this pair is supplemented by Lunar trines to Jupiter @ 1:50 pm & to Uranus @ 7:18 pm. Expansive & original thinking may be shadowed by personal matters, though, when the Moon Squares Venus @ 10:44 pm encouraging the hearts to open with love, artistic expression & feelings of self- importance.  There is nothing wrong with being the center of the universe, if you are a compassionate being who is generous in spirit & attune to the needs of all only great things can happen.

Moon in Leo only Lunar aspect Moon trine Sun.  Aspects engender confidence & competence.   The positive Lunar aspects of today will give us what we need to succeed.  NOTE: Mercury Rx is starting 12/10 lasting till   12/ 30 so if buying electronics, communication; even cars, bikes other motorized vehicles - type gifts do so NOW or before 12/10!

 13 Sagittarius 28 @ 12:36 PM (Time to make you new Lunar Manifestation list.)  Sag. Moon inspires us to look at life in a whole new way.   A hopeful outlook is felt strongly as the Moon reaches a new mark.  Also, encourages us to start exercise programs, look into original philosophies & to explore new territory in our lives.  Sag. says "I see" so vision & insight are the primary incentives to explore fresh ground.  Today is a good day to optimistically look ahead & get in touch with an innovative vision for the coming month & year.

 26 Pisces 40 @ 8:51 PM SR since 7/5 The past 5 months, we have turned inward to spark for self- development.  While Uranus is Direct, our individuality is recognized and promoted by others.  When SR, we sometimes rebel against our own advice to ourselves.  When Direct, we were likely to revolt against other peoples orders.

Untill 12/10    A few RARE days when no planets are backtracking.  Although there are no retrograde planets this is not a good time to begin new project.  The most favorable time is coming on 1/4 /11 Solar Eclipse.

5 Capricorn (CP) 51 @ 7:06 AM  This event is in a  Cardinal Earth sign (CP) is likely to bring a number of communication mishaps over building contracts, corporate mergers & in matters with regard to authority & control.  A real test of everyone's patience occurs; this leaves us susceptible to arguments & confusion over who  is in control. Mercury enters Sag. 12/10 we can expect to see   a lot of frustration with regards to communications misunder- standings & mishaps over travel, travel schedules, delayed forms of transportation & with regard to exploration, as well as philosophical view points.  Expect to repeat yourself more than once or twice, & persistent as well as patient at this time.  This may not be the best time to engage in tender subjects over the holidays.  NOTE: Not a good time to buy electronics, motorized vehicles etc. DO NOT Sign contracts

 29 Gemini 21 @ 3:13 AM (Time to burn your Lunar Manifestation List.)  (3rd Moon of 5   @ 29 degrees!) The Sun & Moon are less than 4 degrees from the North & South Nodes, respectively, but not the same signs as the Nodes.  This  Eclipse introduces issues to be addressed after the Nodes shift into  Sag & Gemini on 2/13/2011.

        The areas impacted include education, travel, law &  the connection between local & global matters.  Communication is likely to be even more jumbled that  an ordinary Mercury Retrograde would imply.  Somehow it may bring about a healing or improvement, as shown by Chrion & Neptune in a helpful trine to the Moon & sextile to the Sun & Mercury.  Open up   your feelings, especially to sympathetic friends, who can help you see things from a broader perspective.  

NOTE: It has been shared that this may have the exacting energies that have been talked about for the 2012 Winter Solstice Day - so be aware and engage in the energies for this day.  Intuit what the Universe is sharing with you and what you are sharing with the Universe. 

 Leo Moon is excellent lunar expression for this special day.  This time emphasizes the endearing influences of family & friends.  

We awaken with VoC Moon till 10:14 am when it moves into Cap.   Some may seem grouchy or slow to get adjusted to the day.  After Moon enters Cap. it  will bring a very Earthy tone to the day.  Practicality & convenience are in high demand.  Virgo rules the intestines, therefore, it is VERY important to maintain some good common intake of food & liquids.  Energies also encourage time to clean-up, organize & tend to health matters.  (continued page 3)

19 Sag. 38 @ 2:21 AM We have seen where our thoughts & words have gone to far.  Hopefully, we reined them back in or at least learned a lesson about where to draw the line.  Now it;s time to move ahead with better boundaries and a clear idea of goals.

ALL PLANETS ARE IN FORWARD MOTION - until 1/25/ 2011.

Day begins with Moon in Scorpio a Moon often described as intense & powerful.  Moon conjuct Venus brings loving energy.  Then makes trine to Jupiter which inspires positive, optimistic & prosperous feelings.  Moon goes VoC @ 2:57 pm till Moon then enters Sag. @ 8:21 pm just in time for celebrations of the evening.  This energy call to our vision & our ability to look beyond.  This 

is a great time to empower the personal outlook with a philosophy that works.   

A new engaging for the year with no exact aspects the Sag. energies of the Moon is a positive note as we focus on the 'big plan' for our year ahead.  A desire to improve on what has been the status quo.  This Moon also pushes us to do more, be more.  We feel very idealistic during this time, possibly restless & desire to adventure outdoors.  People are generally warm & friendly however a feeling for independence, but  also desire for self - improvement. 

1/4 New Moon Solar Eclipse 13 Capricorn 39 @ 4:03 AM This Eclipse chart does not come alive until you apply midpoints.  A simplified explanation is the middle between the position of the Planets in a chart.  In this case the energies indicate you could be mistaken or fooled about either love or money or both, as in a couples finances - way out: BE ORGANIZED & ON TOP OF THINGS.  By now with what everyone has been going through with the changes in money matters we all SHOULD be organized & Paying Attention! Sadly some folks are not  & have to experience the lesson - again possibly.  Let's get back to the idea you must have all your let's say 'ducks in a row' the easier it will be to see when something is off line or out of line and you can correct the issue before it 'blows up!'. 

Of course Libra plays it's proverbial part here bringing fairness & equality to the the issues as Saturn is in Libra, which is important now because Saturn rules the sign of the Eclipse (Capricorn).  

The Mercury - Mars - Pluto conjunction still had it's lingering effects (see 12/13) & warns us to keep discussions diplomatic.  If arguments arise, the result can be injurious, as shown by Pluto (transformation, destruction) at midpoint   Mercury (communications) & Mars (anger, force).  With Sun & Moon at midpoint of Mars & Pluto, feelings & pride are at risk.  

This is a North Node Eclipse, which pushes us to do the hard thing.  In Capricorn, that means establish & enforce good rules & boundaries.  The North Node is halfway between Mercury & the Moon - Sun pair, suggests that we don our thinking caps & put our heads together to make the most efficient plans & the smallest policies.
