[Fate & Free Will ]

Astrology for the Week of October 3-9

Before we get started, I want you to know that all times I’m going to mention are in the Eastern time zone. If you want to see the aspects discussed in the forecast on your digital calendar in your time zone, you can get that here.

Monday 10/3: 

• ☽ at 18° 17‘ Capricorn △ ♅ at 18° 17‘ Taurus | 10:36 AM
• ☽ at 23° 33‘ Capricorn ✳ ♆ at 23° 33‘ Pisces | 7:30 PM
• ☽ at 24° 26‘ Capricorn △ ☿ at 24° 26‘ Virgo | 8:58 PM
• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 26° 07‘ Capricorn | 11:48 PM

Monday is diligently productive. I like it for making solid progress and as a start to the work week. However, as you slip towards evening you might find yourself more drained or emotional than usual. 

Work hard during the day but remember to be gentle with yourself in the evening (or really, all of the time because why tf not?) 

Tuesday 10/4:

• ☽ ▻ Aquarius | 6:20 AM
• ☽ at 02° 39‘ Aquarius ✳ ♃ at 02° 39‘ Aries | 10:48 AM
• ☽ at 06° 58‘ Aquarius △ ♀︎ at 06° 58‘ Libra | 6:04 PM

Tuesday is a really lovely day with a lot of potential for taking action. Lean in to the expansiveness of Jupiter and the beauty of Venus for optimal results. 

There is a Hellenistic Void of Course Moon that begins today at 6:45 pm eastern and lasts until October 7 at 10:40 pm eastern. This is NOT the time to begin anything new. Don’t sign new contracts, no first dates, no launching new things. Finish up things you’ve already got going.

Wednesday 10/5:

• ☽ at 12° 00‘ Aquarius △ ☉ at 12° 00‘ Libra | 12:57 AM
• ☽ at 18° 13‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 18° 13‘ Taurus | 12:57 PM
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 18° 50‘ Aquarius | 1:59 PM
• ☽ at 21° 40‘ Aquarius △ ♂︎ at 21° 40‘ Gemini | 6:45 PM

Wednesday is a serious day where you can for sure get the things done as long as you are diligent and willing to do the work. Just try not to pop off at anyone who isn’t 🤐

This is one of those days where you get more accomplished by pausing to reflect and respond rather than react in the heat of the malefic moment when your temper flares up.

Thursday 10/6:

• 🌔 Waxing Gibbous | 5:36 AM
• ☽ at 28° 07‘ Aquarius ☉ at 13° 07‘ Libra
• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 8:47 AM
• ☿ at 26° 07‘ Virgo △ ♇ at 26° 07‘ Capricorn | 11:55 PM

Thursday the Moon is in Pisces which may have you feeling pretty dreamy, or like dreaming. It really depends on how Pisces is set up in your chart. 

If you felt like your communication skills were struggling for the past several weeks, today is a great day to talk things out as Mercury and Pluto get together.

With the Moon in Pisces, the communication will also be softer and more emotionally vulnerable and open - which is always a good thing for creating effective dialogue.

Friday 10/7:

• ☽ at 18° 09‘ Pisces ✳ ♅ at 18° 09‘ Taurus | 3:34 PM
• ☽ at 22° 17‘ Pisces □ ♂︎ at 22° 17‘ Gemini | 10:40 PM

Friday is not the day for that fence-mending I mentioned on Thursday.

Friday is much better for dreamy escapism, creative work, or romantic interludes - with the caveat that your emotions may be closer to the surface and you’ll need to think before you speak.

That means don’t make grandiose declarations of love to your Tinder date but it also means don’t tell someone in your life that they can skip off when they say the wrong thing.

See what I did there. I didn’t just blurt out the first thing that came to mind. Practice that ;)

Saturday 10/8:

• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 23° 27‘ Pisces | 12:39 AM
• ☽ at 26° 06‘ Pisces ✳ ♇ at 26° 06‘ Capricorn | 5:14 AM
• ☽ at 27° 14‘ Pisces ☍ ☿ at 27° 14‘ Virgo | 7:10 AM
• ☽ ▻ Aries | 11:56 AM
• ☽ ☌ ♃ at 02° 06‘ Aries | 3:36 PM
• ♇ ▻ Direct | 5:55 PM

Saturday morning starts off slow and dreamy but by noon eastern, it’s all systems go - in a big optimistic kind of way. Plan something fun for tonight or something that helps you step into the limelight of your Aries house.

There is a full moon tomorrow so if you have any manifestation magic you want to work on, tonight is a good time for it. Especially for topics related to your Libra and Aries houses.

In other news, Pluto is stationing direct Saturday night. You’ll be able to feel this Thursday through Monday of next week and it might look like a transformational leap of growth in your Capricorn house. 

The next time Pluto changes direction he will be in Aquarius and that’s going to be an epic transition. What that means for you in this moment is that all of the transformation and deep dark work you’ve been engaging with as Pluto moved through Capricorn is starting to wrap up. Pluto first moved into Capricorn in 2008. For me, this was a move into my 4th house of home, family of origin, and the foundation of my life. I’ve had two babies, divorced, lost all of my family of origin, and created a much more robust foundation for myself. It wasn’t easy but doing the work has made life so much richer. It’ll be interesting to see how my fifth house topics go over the next couple of decades.

More on that transit later ;)

Sunday 10/9: 

• ☽ at 12° 49‘ Aries ☍ ♀︎ at 12° 49‘ Libra | 10:20 AM
• Aries 🌕 Full Moon | 4:54 PM
• ☽ at 16° 32‘ Aries ☉ at 16° 32‘ Libra
• ☽ at 18° 44‘ Aries ✳ ♄ at 18° 44‘ Aquarius | 8:48 PM

Sunday we have a beautiful Aries Full Moon. This is the counterpart to the Libra New Moon from two weeks ago. Use the energy prior to the Full Moon to take massive action on your Libra New Moon intentions or topics related to your Aries house.

A reminder about manifestation. The day of the full moon, at any point before it is actually full, (which is 4:54  pm eastern this time) is great for manifestation magic. 

What does that mean? Ask your cards how to achieve what you want, complete a ritual, or take action in a significant way to move you towards something you know you want. 

After the full moon, it’s time to begin releasing anything that is holding you back from manifesting what you want.

By rising sign, the part of your life that is highlighted during this Aries Full Moon is:

• Aries Rising: Self-awareness, your identity, appearance, personality, the way you view yourself, your character, your primary motivation, your body, your health, and vitality
• Taurus Rising: Mental health, the subconscious, ways you self sabotage, the ways you isolate yourself, hidden enemies, transcendence, and spiritual liberation
• Gemini Rising: Friends with influence, alliances, your hopes and dreams, social media, personal and professional networks, unions, mentors, and that which supports you
• Cancer Rising: Your reputation, profession, actions, relationship with and to authority, your mother and her family, your destiny, and your ambitions 
• Leo Rising: Higher education, divination, foreign travel, religion, astrology, the divine masculine, and your ability to grow, adapt, and learn
• Virgo Rising: Investment, other people’s money, debt, topics concerning death, psychology, taxes, fears, transformation, and the occult
• Libra Rising: Committed relationships, contracts, business partners, and other contractual relationships, and open enemies
• Scorpio Rising: Physical health, illness, coworkers, your job, pets, self-improvement, and the things you feel obligated to
• Sagittarius Rising: Children, pleasure, romance, dating, sexuality, the things you desire,  the creative arts, love affairs, the ways in which you are entertained, close friends, and lovers
• Capricorn Rising: Home, family, home life, land, ancestors, private self, your emotional foundation, gains from hidden sources, your father, and your father’s family
• Aquarius Rising:  Communication, divination, short distance travel, your neighborhood, writing, your immediate environment, the divine feminine, siblings, and cousins
• Pisces Rising: Money, possessions, resources, and how you make a living

If you’re feeling frisky, hit me up on Instagram and let me know how the astrology of the week played out for you.

Until next time, my wish for you is the willingness to show up fully as yourself as you move towards the life you most want to create.
