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.
