Business Booty Call

What to expect: Sweet deals
What to watch out for: Deception
What will it affect? Money, relationships, contracts, communication

Venus will conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio. Scorpio is a money sign and it’s essence when it comes to money is transformation. Some will win and some will lose. Or at least something will be lost in order for something to be gained. There is a sweetness to it though. Like when you lose your singlehood to form a partnership, or when you become house rich and money poor. You get something and you lose something and that ‘something’ you gain has a little bit of a cost.

I had a friend who used to say to me “you can have it all, but you can’t have it all at the same time”. Yet Jupiter will make us feel so optimistic that we believe that we can have it all at once. Jupiter’s expansive quality may make our eye’s bigger than our stomach. Venus will egg him on. And this is where we can feel the pinch of losses. To add to it, Mercury will be squaring Neptune and fogging our vision. For this reason, stay away from big business or contractual decisions. They will feel good in the moment but the sketchiness may show up in the small print. You may even see the unfairness but will convince yourself it’s not likely to happen. Trust me. It’s likely to happen.

The best approach is to explore the gain’s, the losses and the depth’s with moderation and without making any commitment. Call it a business booty call! Clarity will come in coming weeks and at that time you can commit. But for now, keep it honest and keep it at the no-strings-attached level…. if you can!

Nurturing Creativity

What to expect: Creative imaginings
What to watch out for: Laziness
What will it affect? Self-care, creativity, healing, creative ideas

Between the 15th and 16th Mars will move into a mini grand trine with Ceres and Mercury. Mercury and Ceres will trine and Mars will jump in between to sextile them both. Mercury and Ceres will engage in a deep conversation and may even be philosophical and big picture about the need for creativity. Mercury understands deeply the wisdom of fun at this time. But there is a difference between saying and doing. Mars is a doer, but in the sign of Libra can be a bit indecisive. Since it’s also making a sextile, the energy can easily be ignored. An opportunity exists if acted on, to allow the creativity to be expressed in ways that can deeply nurture. There is a problem though; the problem is that Vesta will oppose Pallas causing a conflict between our head and heart. There is guilt around pursuing our passion, maybe because it seems decadent or privileged. Our intellect says go for it, but our passion is worried about being politically correct. Vesta and Pallas are both in the very last degree and second of Libra and Aries making this energy particularly intense.

There are two other energies at play that would advise you to silence that guilt. The Sun will trine Chiron and will give us some medicine for healing the little poisons within that stop us from our brilliance. The second is that Venus will trine Neptune, making us highly imaginative and creative. Now is the time to trust that your creativity is good and will benefit both you and humanity. Keep this in mind… when we take care of ourselves, we fill our well and set an example.

New Moon in Scorpio

What to expect: An opportunity to set intentions
What to watch out for: Defense mechanism
What will it affect? Healing, intimacies, groups

The New Moon on the 18th is in Scorpio. The Scorpio energy wants us to go deep and to transform. The New Moon is making a tense aspect to Uranus, so we can expect some curve balls. Especially if we try to avoid the depths. The New Moon is also making a trine to Chiron, the wounded healer and will provide energy for deep healing. Now is the time for setting intentions, so use the energy of this New Moon to envision what healing will look like. You can do this for yourself if you are in deep need of healing or for humanity if you well is already filled. We can easily entrain others to our higher vibration to encourage healing.

On the same day, Mercury will trine the nodes and can bring us together with the right people. Even though we may connect with the right people, we may wonder if in fact, we are? Venus is squaring Ceres making us hungry for acceptance and inclusion and a little bit sensitive. There is a balancing act that needs to take place. We haven’t quite gotten the give and take just right. There is a tendency to feel like we are giving too much. And the tendency with Scorpio energy is to camouflage our insecurity. The invitation is to let down our defenses and allow for intimacies to heal. There is a deep reward in connection at this time.

Equity & Equality

What to expect: Push for fairness
What to watch out for: Injustice and inequality
What will it affect? Work, beliefs, change

The balance may be upset in the world of work at the beginning of this week as Vesta opposes Uranus on Nov 7th. Vesta is in Libra and is interested in partnerships and equality. As she opposes Uranus we can expect for some sort of rebellion seeks fairness in work. Maybe it’s that women will ask again for equal pay or equal treatment to men. Perhaps the harassment disclosures in Hollywood will spark a movement for amends and improvements in all workplaces that seek to correct the imbalance.

Saturn in Sagittarius, will sextile Vesta and will help to ground new thinking and attitudes in the workplace. Work towards new policies or legislation spurred on by these new attitudes will likely make the news.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

What to expect: Relationship Transformation
What to watch out for: Running from sharing
What will it affect? Relationships, partnerships, shared resources

We have some help in our relationships this week. Juno and Pluto are coming together in a conjunction on Nov 11th. As they move closer, the Sun will send a beam of light, shining from the Scorpionic depths to both of them. Juno and Pluto are in Capricorn bringing up the issue of commitment and long-term partnerships. It’s also is bringing up respect and respect issues within our relationships. As they come together, the energy of Pluto wants to transform these issues. The energy of the Sun in Scorpio joins hands with Pluto to unearth the issues that lie beneath.

Venus is opposite Pallas in the middle of all of this, so a conflict may arise throws our head and intellect into conflict with our heart and values. Venus is in Scorpio and is aching for intimacy. If she doesn’t get it, she may through caution to the wind and seek it out in other ways.

Open to Change

What to expect: Changing beliefs
What to watch out for: Resistance
What will it affect? Beliefs, ideologies

By the weekend Saturn will trine Uranus. Saturn is coming to the end of his time in Sagittarius. Sagittarius can be committed to an ideology on one end and just plan dogmatic on the other. While Saturn has been in Sagittarius it has been testing our beliefs. It’s been difficult to open up to new ideas and to accept that we may not know everything or that we may have even been wrong. But there is no better time than now to check in with those beliefs. Are they false beliefs? Do they drive us to hurt ourselves or worse, hurt others? Taking responsibility for our incorrect perceptions opens the door to changing our behaviour. We are open to change as Uranus gives us that “break-free” energy.

If you have any breakthrough or leading edge ideas, now is a good time to share them. Not everyone will be onboard, the Sun will square the Nodes, and some will move forward with us embracing change. Others will need a bit more work on themselves before they can open allow themselves to follow that path.

Why? Saturn Trine Uranus, Sun Square North Node

Surprising Beliefs

What to expect: Contradictions in our relationships
What to watch out for: Fear of change
What will it affect? Relationships, beliefs, strategy

At the start of the week on Oct 30th, Venus makes a sextile to the north node helping us to move in the right direction with both our finances and our relationships. Jupiter is now in Scorpio and has a focus for the next year on expanding all things Scorpio. Taxes, secrets, sex, share resources are now areas that will see expansion. As Jupiter moves further into Scorpio is opposes Pallas on Oct 31st. This bringing up conflict in our belief system. Pallas in Taurus has a lot of practical wisdom and common sense, but do we practicing what we preach? Is what’s good for the goose also good for the gander? There may be a surprising belief around the issues that Jupiter in Scorpio has brought up, that you didn’t know you had. Venus will conjunct Vesta on Nov 1st, and the energy allows us to work well with each other. Now is a great time for negotiations or mediations. We’ll have a social grace to our interactions and can draw on a creativity that can help us move through any conflict.

Collective Healing

What to expect: Healing
What to watch out for: Overwhelm
What will it affect? Collective wounds, personal healing

This week Saturn and Chiron make their last square to each other. These two have been squaring since late last year and as they have done so, they have brought up collective wounds and the need to break free from abuses. Saturn is in Sagittarius and has been assessing the integrity of travel, laws, media, religion and belief systems. Chiron is in Pisces being a teacher and healer in the realm of water, shipping, fishing, oil, drugs, advertising and sales, mysteries, hidden knowledge, films, and photography. At the first square, we saw the water protectors, defending water. At the second pass, we saw challenges to the travel industry as a passenger was dragged off a United plane, and we also saw fact-checking measures to address fake news. And now at the third pass, we are seeing the #metoo phenomena bringing awareness and healing originating in the film industry and flowing out to all.

How do we really feel about all of this? And how does it affect us personally? This is a time for personal development as Mercury will trine Chiron on Nov 1st and will help us to delve into our thinking. Talking it out, journaling and/or meditation will help us to go inside and aid healing.

Full Moon in Taurus

What to expect: Culmination
What to watch out for: Inflexibility
What will it affect? Relationships, inner fears, money

The full moon is on November 3rd in Taurus. We have a strong emotional need for stability and routine and prefer to stay away from change. The moon is very comfortable in the sign of Taurus but opposite the Sun in Scorpio may feel pushed into inner depths which may be calling for change. Both are square to Ceres bringing up inner child fears and neediness. The good thing is that the Full Moon also makes a positive aspect to Neptune and our intuition will be strong. We can use this Full Moon to follow our hunches.

The Taurus Full Moon is ruled by Venus and Venus makes some interesting aspects at the Full Moon. Venus is also opposite Uranus, making our money and relationships unpredictable. But she is also sextile Saturn helping us to be practical in our relationship and with our money. So though we may face some surprises, we can approach them in a practical manner. Looking at accounting, budgeting or other financial concerns with openness can lead to surprising breakthroughs. The same goes for our relationships. So though we may feel that Taurus discomfort with change, the best way to approach it is to not hold on too tight.

Why? Full Moon at 11°Taurus 58, Sun Trine Neptune, Venus Sextile Saturn, Venus Opposition Uranus, Sun Square Transiting Ceres
