OCTOBER SPEAK

SUDDENLY

Emptiness beckons

Stillness rises in afternoon heat

Waiting the gathering.

Suddenly silence is torn,

 Squawking commands of squadron formation

Now at the ready

Rise against October clouds.

Suddenly we are vibrant,

Emptiness fills with flight

Wings shadow the sun

Filling the empty landscape.

 The silent, lonely wait curls within.

Suddenly life returns.

Wisdom Body Notes Oct. 1-14 by Samantha Cameron

Can you feel the release of tension and high wire fears?  Can you feel your body turning to hope of a quiet hush?  September was filled with such an excess of chaotic changes and re-do that I know you, like me, are filled with a longing for change as ‘October Speaks.’  It is not that October will take us gently into that good night, rather that the power is deeper, less surprising and asks for transformative skills and harmony, rather than sudden shifts and chaotic change.  We may awaken to a more readily managed life, to enjoy the company of others in the pursuit of happiness.  Really??

The week of the 6th opens with a potent Full Moon in airy Libra, opposing the Moon in fiery Aires.  This cosmic opposition is about self and other, and it engages Mercury in a demanding square to Pluto.  There will be an intensity that may lie below the surface, and/or rise in your face.  Power struggles are optional and possible.  As you know, all Full Moons ask we see below the surface, that the bright light inform us of issues we have struggled with, or things we have not yet understood. 

As Pluto, great lord of the underworld and transformative desire, prepares to turn Direct on the 13th, at the first degree of Aquarius, there will be a greater intensity with subtle power plays in the works.   Use his potentency to re-align your power with your heart, to make needed changes that are difficult, and deal with silent fears so you don’t carry them forward.  Bring them into dialogue, ask that they grow more visible and understandable.  The Plutonian challenge prefers shadow, and the unconscious subtlety of living below the surface, making them difficult to know and /or work with.

Since Mercury, planet of ‘lower mind,’ is featured throughout the month, ask him for assistance in thinking before speaking, planning before executing, and listening before offering brilliant ideas.  Mercury will be a great aid in dealing with the far-reaching energies of outer planets in a grand trine that Pluto forms with Uranus at one degree Gemini, and Neptune at one degree Aires.  As these outer planets are more subtle and difficult to use and understand, our personal mind/Mercury will be very busy assisting us to viably use the outer cosmic forces.  Know that any planet at the first/one degree of any sign pressures for change as we are entering the new territory of a new sign/new energy field.

Venus, ruler of Libra, planet of love, partnership and value is another active energy the first two weeks.  Good thing too as she is Libra’s queenly ruler, and this is a queen we love to obey as she dances in the heart and shows us how to partner well, even when it’s a Tango!  On the 8th, she sextiles with her favorite partner, Jupiter- the great ‘more is more fellow,’ offering opportunities of reaching out and expand what/who we love and enjoy.  On the 11th, she opposes Saturn.  Not her favored partner but one who can help her re-align and re-build relationships, possibly with a stronger sense of self-worth.  Don’t let Saturn’s demand for perfection get in the way of re-weaving better boundaries which a help us understand the other.

A supportive planet in helping us re-weave, integrate and heal childhood shadow material is Jupiter, as he squares the Wounded Healer, Chiron. Jupiter connects us to a sense of opportunity as well as abundance and this square invites us into re-examining old wounds, challenging us to work with painful memories, and gain a stronger sense of the muscle we have built, the courage we have grown from past pain.

VENUS RULED LIBRA BIRTHDAY~ There is a subtle power play swirling energies for your year ahead.  Pluto is rather demanding in asking you to step back from your favorite party of relationships. In fact the trine of outer planets-all retrograde, is pulling us all back in to reconsider and surrender before moving on.  As a lovely Libra you love reaching out and supporting your people, but this year, support YOU first, then reach and collaborate.  You may discover your collaborations and partnerships are morphing.
