CosmicExpress, week of 14 October

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.
