We’re looking at the week beginning 7 October 2007. The Moon is New on the evening of the 10th. Release those things that you’ve completed and prepare to launch into a new round of work with the New Moon.

Theme transits this week: Venus applies to a conjunction to Saturn all week, and the influence increases as the week goes on. Venus and Saturn aren’t a terribly good combination. The aspect challenges us to examine our love relationships to determine how real and solid they are. There can be a tinge of depression about relationship or a tendency not to feel worthy of love. It’s important to keep that in perspective all week, because this energy affects us all. Fortunately, Venus and Saturn sextile both Mercury and Mars this week, and Mercury and Mars trine each other. This is highly favorable for hard work in business and in the world. Not a flashy time, Saturn and Mercury focus on applied, practical mental work, while Mars and Saturn promote detailed physical achievement. Keep up your efforts to attain your goals. The combination with Venus isn’t romantically profound, but it puts the accent on effective communication with those you love - and possibly can open the door to a new aesthetic approach to your life and work.

Jupiter continues to square Uranus all week, and the Sun applies to a sextile to Jupiter starting mid-week. This continues to be favorable period for speculation and for physical development and growth.

The week’s net: The challenge this week is in relationship. It’s easy to become disillusioned
or depressed around relationships and to have a feeling of being unloved. Keep your perspective and keep talking. Careful work in relationships now can yield great benefits later. Lastly, the energies are ripe for positive hard work in business and for resulting achievements in the physical world.

On the 7th we start the week with the Moon conjoin Saturn and Venus. Saturn makes us confront reality in our emotional and family life. There can be a depressing side to this contact, so keep your perspective; this clears tomorrow.

8 Oct:  The exact opposite of yesterday’s somber energies, the Moon forms a T-Square with Jupiter and Uranus today. Moon and Jupiter are good in combination, so expect yesterday’s pale reality to open a bit. Spend time with those you care about. Uranus injects the new, so explore sides of your partner that you don’t often cultivate. The one problem is excessive nervous tension and strain, so keep yourself in balance with exercise, meditation, and proper diet.

9 Oct: The Moon moves to square Mars and Pluto today. This can again be a stressful time in emotional relationships with the possibility of unwanted power plays. 

10 Oct: Tonight is the New Moon, so prepare to launch projects that you want to accomplish during this next lunar cycle. Both the Sun and Moon receive favorable aspects from Jupiter. This should be a period of opening to achievements that you’ve worked for.
 
11 Oct: The Moon moves off of yesterday’s intensity to sextile Pluto. This can warm us emotionally in a positive way.

12 Oct:  The Moon conjoins Mercury today, and trines Mars. The accent is on communication, and there’s real support for work in business and for relationships at home, especially in their physical aspects.

13 Oct: The Moon closes the week squaring Neptune. With Neptune involved we run the risk of projecting fantasies onto our partners in relationship. Miscommunication or illusion can be a real challenge. Stay grounded, and avoid alcohol and drugs. On the up-side, this configuration is great for inner work and meditation.

We’re looking at the week beginning 21 October 2007. The Moon is Full on the 25th. Continue to press forward on your work. Beginning with the Full Moon, shift your emphasis to harvesting your work.

Theme transits this week: Venus has completely separated from the conjunction to Saturn that we experienced the last few weeks. Beginning on the 22nd, it enters a dynamic T-Square by opposing Uranus and squaring Jupiter. Venus and Uranus together create the atmosphere for dramatic shift in relationships, and for excitement or for change. Venus and Jupiter combine to expand relationships and social interactions - and work in art. The net effect is a large shift into feelings of liberation in relationship and a desire for new experience. The downside of Venus / Uranus is a tendency to rupture existing, stable relationships. Explore new things in a positive, supportive way, rather than trying to run from a situation that you may have found confining. If you’re a creative type, this is prime time to push into new ventures and projects. If you’re a speculator, this may be a good time to expand your work.

The Sun conjoins Mercury most of the week. The Sun’s intensity can push Mercury’s mental circuits a bit too far, producing mental tension and strain. Back off a bit - especially as the Sun enters obsessive Scorpio.

The week’s net: Last week’s challenges shift dramatically to new opportunities in relationship, in the arts, and in speculative ventures. Expect rapid change and new opportunities, and take advantage of all the openings that present themselves to you. Oftentimes the biggest challenge is simply showing up to accept and to realize the New. This week has the potential for opening the doors we’ve been waiting to explore.


On the 21st we start the week with the Moon trining the Sun and Mercury. This is excellent for rebalancing your body and emotional life. Spend time with those you love and explore new ideas in social settings. 

22 Oct:  The Moon conjoins Uranus to kick off the Venus / Jupiter / Uranus T-Square that we discussed in this week’s themes - review this section to see the overall meaning of this configuration. This is the strongest day to take advantage of the transit picture. With the Moon and Uranus there may be a dramatic shift emotionally or in relationships. This change should provide the opening that we need to catalyze change.

23 Oct: The Moon squares Pluto today. This can again be a stressful time in emotional relationships with the possibility of unwanted power plays. 

24 Oct: The Moon squares Mars today.The only possible issue a tendency to argument and conflict, so keep your perspective, especially with the twists and turns that the Uranus T-Square promises all week.
 
25 Oct: The Moon is Full today. Take stock of your work this lunar cycle and begin to harvest the results of your efforts.

26 Oct:  The Moon trines Saturn and sextiles both Mars and Uranus today. This favorable combination has the paradoxical meaning of both stabilizing relationships and kicking new life into them. Emotions should warm, while remaining constant. There’s an underlying theme of exploring novelty, though. Don’t stay stuck; check out the new!

27 Oct: The Moon closes the week making no significant aspects at all. Relax a bit - as much as the T-Square will permit!

We’re looking at the week beginning 28 October 2007. The Moon forms the Third Quarter on the 1st. Focus on harvesting the results of your hard work. After the Third Quarter (and a blessed Samhain!), focus on releasing what you no longer need. With the year rapidly waning, it’s doubly important to release those things that are no longer important, and to turn inward as the Earth moves toward its Winter rest.

Theme transits this week: At the week’s start Venus continues in the dynamic T-Square we saw last week by opposing Uranus and squaring Jupiter. This influence wanes after the 31st. Venus and Uranus together create the atmosphere for dramatic shift in relationships, and for excitement or for change. Venus and Jupiter combine to expand relationships and social interactions - and work in art. The net effect is a large shift into feelings of liberation in relationship and a desire for new experience. The downside of Venus / Uranus is a tendency to rupture existing, stable relationships. Explore new things in a positive, supportive way, rather than trying to run from a situation that you may have found confining. If you’re a creative type, this is prime time to push into new ventures and projects. If you’re a speculator, this may be a good time to expand your work.

The Sun trines Mars and both planets sextile Saturn all week. This is a positive, supportive configuration for physical health and development, and for the expression of truly useful work. Energy should express itself smoothly without excessive stress.

The week’s net: Last week’s opportunities in relationship, in the arts, and in speculative ventures continue for the first part of the week. Expect rapid change and new opportunities, and take advantage of all the openings that present themselves to you. Oftentimes the biggest challenge is simply showing up to accept and to realize the New. Physical energy should be smoother and more effective that we’ve seen in some time, so roll up your sleeves and make your dreams happen!

On the 28th we start the week with the Moon squares Saturn, which always puts pressure on us to define our emotional relationships. This transit can often lead to depressive states, so focus on gratitude and on positive inner meditation.

29 Oct:  The Moon opposes Pluto and Squares Venus today. This contact surfaces control issues in relationships, so keep your balance. Emotional obsessions can surface in unpleasant ways. 

30 Oct: The Moon conjoins Mars, trines the Sun, and sextiles Saturn today, which warms and energizes emotional relationships in a positive way. This is a very important time to relax with those you love and to focus on building quality emotional ties with others.

31 Oct: The Moon squares Mercury today, which may color communications with strong emotions. It’s a great time to communicate with those you’re close to; business communications may be overly emotional, however.
 
1 Nov: The Moon forms the Third Quarter today. Begin now to release those things you no longer need - especially with the Earth’s cycle turning toward Winter and toward rest.

2 Nov:  The Moon sextiles Mercury and opposes Neptune today. Moon and Neptune create an optimal state for inner work and meditation, but external communication can often turn confused. The sextile to Mercury helps keep things better balanced. If you can, spend some time quietly taking advantage of this opportunity for inner growth.

3 Nov: The Moon closes conjoining Saturn and sextiling Mars and the Sun. Normally Moon / Saturn contacts are a bit depressing and cold, but the supporting sextiles help create the opportunity for a positive time with those you love. You may have the chance to do physical work in the context of your relationships, so take advantage of the chance to accomplish a few things you’ve been wanting to complete.

We’re looking at the week beginning 14 October 2007. The Moon is New on the 19th. Plant your new ideas and goals for this lunar cycle, and launch into work.

Theme transits this week: Venus separates from the conjunction to Saturn that we experienced all week, and it applies to an opposition to Uranus. Venus and Saturn aren’t a terribly good combination. The aspect challenges us just like last week to examine our love relationships to determine how real and solid they are. There can be a tinge of depression about relationship or a tendency not to feel worthy of love. As the week continues, though, this energy of definition and constriction abates only to be replaced with its exact opposite. Venus and Uranus together create the atmosphere for dramatic shift in relationships, and for excitement or for change. We’ll experience this energy more strongly next week, but as the week closes expect to feel greater liberation in relationship and a desire for new experience. The downside of Venus / Uranus is a tendency to rupture existing, stable relationships. Explore new things in a positive, supportive way, rather than trying to run from a situation that you may have found confining. Fortunately, Venus and Saturn continue sextile both Mercury and Mars this week, and Mercury and Mars trine each other. This is highly favorable for hard work in business and in the world. Not a flashy time, Saturn and Mercury focus on applied, practical mental work, while Mars and Saturn promote detailed physical achievement. Keep up your efforts to attain your goals. The combination with Venus isn’t romantically profound, but it puts the accent on effective communication with those you love - and possibly can open the door to a new aesthetic approach to your life and work.

Jupiter continues to square Uranus all week. This continues to be favorable period for speculation.

The week’s net: The challenge this week is still in relationship. It’s easy to become disillusioned or depressed around relationships and to have a feeling of being unloved. As the week moves on, you may also feel a desire to escape or to change your relationships. Keep your perspective and keep talking. Explore novel situations and build your relationships in a positive way. Careful work in relationships now can yield great benefits later. Lastly, the energies are ripe for positive hard work in business and for resulting achievements in the physical world.

On the 14th we start the week with the Moon squaring Saturn and Venus. Saturn makes us confront reality in our emotional and family life. There can be a depressing side to this contact, so keep your perspective; this clears tomorrow.

15 Oct:  The exact opposite of yesterday’s somber energies, the Moon conjoins Jupiter and squares Uranus today. Moon and Jupiter are good in combination, so expect yesterday’s pale reality to open a bit. Spend time with those you care about. Uranus injects the new, so explore sides of your partner that you don’t often cultivate. The one problem is excessive nervous tension and strain, so keep yourself in balance with exercise, meditation, and proper diet.

16 Oct: The Moon moves to conjoin Pluto today. This can again be a stressful time in emotional relationships with the possibility of unwanted power plays.  

17 Oct: The Moon opposes Mars today and receives favorable aspects from Mercury, Venus, and Saturn. Relationships should warm today with improved communication. The only possible issue a tendency to argument and conflict, so keep your perspective.
 
18 Oct: The Moon only forms a sextile to Uranus today. Relax a bit and plan to explore new things and play just a bit.

19 Oct:  The Moon forms the First Quarter today and squares Mercury today. Re-evaluate your work and plans, and make needed course corrections to achieve your goals for this lunar cycle. The accent is on communication, but there’s some possibility for disagreements in business.

20 Oct: The Moon closes the week conjoining Neptune. With Neptune involved we run the risk of projecting fantasies onto our partners in relationship. Miscommunication or illusion can be a real challenge. Stay grounded, and avoid alcohol and drugs. On the up-side, this configuration is great for inner work and meditation.
