“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill
This is a fall built on patience, persistence, resilience, and kindness. If they feel in short supply, it’s because you’ve used them up. If you feel weak and weepy, and who doesn’t? Don’t resist. Stop and open to a new direction, a more intuitive point of view. You will soon feel power beginning to rise once again. The big question this month is- ‘How are you going to use that power? Just what is -‘right use of will?’ What strategy is the best one? The world has been deeply immersed in this question for the past several years, and as Pluto, God of power, control, obsession, transformation, and regeneration moves direct with the New Moon on the 6th, we are returning to his themes with greater urgency. October is a turn-around month of re-setting plans and ideas to begin moving forward, after a long spring and summer of hold back and re-do. As leaves turn and change color in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s time for us to do the same. Welcome an unexpected color, drape it over yourself, then listen to how it supports your emotional body.
Of course, Mercury is Retrograde. Therefore during most of October’s shifts prepare to re-do, and re-assess any new plan. (Mercury goes direct on the 18th, side by side with Jupiter’s change of direction to move forward. Since Jupiter is the planet of over-expectation, largess, and wider mindsets, I guarantee a fascinating time!). Before that happens, we have time-lord, Saturn, going direct on the 10th. If you know nothing else about Astrology, you do know that each time a planet ‘changes direction,’ its wattage ramps up, and the issues it rules are in our face to be dealt with. To prepare ourselves for upcoming leaps forward, stop! Go within! Listen to your body. This not only makes Mercury (your mind) happier, but it will nourish the obsession and frustration so it can regenerate and make a more strategic plan to move onward. Mercury is essentially in Libra the entire month, making relationships, partnerships, appreciation, love, and strategy high in our priorities. Because Mars, God of war, commitment, and physicality embraces Mercury at the New Moon, watch out for reactive responses. Take a big breath and bite the tongue before anger ruins a relationship. ….or Pluto’s ‘dog with a bone’ hammer pushes you so hard you can’t come back for a re-do.
Are you getting a BIG New Moon-October highlight’s picture yet? Thus far we have Pluto, God of sex, death taxes, and so forth- turning direct at the New Moon. Mercury conjuncts Mars, AND for a last fabulous fillip, The New Moon inconjuncts Uranus. An inconjunct, also known as a quincunx, is a destabilizing and adjusting energy connecting two planets. Quincunxes often bring up strange events, and odd reviews, or adjustments of issues. But Mercury, the personal mind, connected to Uranus, the high mind, is always a good thing, no matter difficulties encountered. The combination offers gifts of being able to see outside the box to have amazing ‘ahaaa moments.’ Intuitive inspiration is invited in by any link between the higher and lower mind. You are likely to have inspired connections with others, especially with partnerships you value. Just be aware that often the shadow side of so much engaged energy is we all too easily become obsessive. Take time now to get clear about what’s important, and how you can harvest seeds to grow dazzling relationships out of the old mindsets, and habits that held us back.
When Saturn, in Aquarius, goes direct on the 10th observe if situations, or conversations that engaged you back at the end of May reappear, especially in the realm of partnerships. As the old man of time, Saturn moves slowly, deeply, and asks only for perfection. If plans or ideas were left at the roadside back in the spring, they will raise their heads for follow-through and completion.
Even without many details, you can see that October is a time of leaning into intuition, relying on others for support, relinquishing old structures and obsessions to re-invent a different landscape. Remember that Libra energy works hard to balance everything: feminine/masculine, past/present, fear/courage, anger/empathy. Embrace what you can, and let the rest go! Wayne Gretzky, the great hockey player said, “You miss 100% of the shots you never take.” As you reinvent yourself, preparing for 2022, please take time to admire your fortitude and courage. Three times a day please lease say to yourself “Well done, YOU!” And when I have overcome a fear-filled, anxious moment, I always like to give myself a shoutout of: “Hubba Hubba Honey!”

YOUR PRACTICE: AS we dive deep toward the New Moon, darkened by Pluto’s shift forward, practice creating home ground, spend time in balances, lie in Savasana’s stillness, listen to body-needs. Quietly fluff tail feathers, stretching to lengthen muscle, as well as brain. They connect symbiotically as they are both of a watery persuasion. When things fall apart, and/or disintegrate, find gifts in the loss to begin again-ever better than before
BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK: Knowing how and when to pivot might be a good practice this year. As a Libran, you are aware of the grand design in balancing everything~ but please remember to put yourself at the top of the list. The more inner reconstruction you can do, the better the year will unfold. It will re-calibrate relationships, and offer others more space, which is often returned to you in with gratitude. I suggest nurturing the child within that wants to play, be spontaneous, laugh, and hold hands with their bestie. Have at it!
