Mercury will station direct next week shortly after Mars enters Scorpio. The pieces of our lives are gradually going to be coming together, as information is revealed. To gain the most benefit from this period, take your time, and avoid rushing into anything too soon.

The Full Moon in Taurus as well as Mercury bring the Saturn/Neptune transit home this week. This can render this week both magical and visionary, as we are being shown the ways that we can make our ideals and dreams a closer reality.

Mercury is retrograde October 31st thru November 20th. All the more intense when traveling in Scorpio.

Not only do we have a shocking and illuminating New Moon, but Mercury is also slowing for its retrograde station next week (on Halloween!). Both are in Scorpio, stirring up all sorts of trouble.

If you were to visualize a perfect ideal, what would that look like? What sorts of things would bring greater meaning into your life? And what practical steps can you take in order to bring your life more into alignment with that ideal? Venus meets the Saturn/Neptune sextile.

Depending on what is being revealed in the light of this Full Moon, things may never be quite the same again.

What has become so over-bearing, so completely overwhelming and unsustainable, that you need to make some changes? If you haven’t already done so in the past 6 months, the next few weeks may be another opportunity to make much needed adjustments.

We open this week with a New Moon in the sign of Libra, a sign of Balance, Justice and Moderation. It is accompanied by the Direct Station of Pluto this week: hence the image of chickens coming home to roost. This will also be a theme straight through to the Full Moon on the 13th of October: where are you seeing the ramifications of decisions already made last Spring? And what do you need to do now in order to restore some balance in your life?

The Jupiter/Neptune perfects for its 3rd and final time this year. And we celebrate the Libra Equinox on Monday.

A Full Moon in emotionally laden Pisces opens the week. But ultimately it’s going to be more about the power of Saturn which stations direct on Wednesday.
