This week, we see both Jupiter and Mercury turn from retrograde to direct motion and we get a full moon in Aries as well.
Thursday, Oct. 14: If Scrooge had a birthday, it might be today. Getting anything going is not easy even though feelings and ideas are in harmony. Because Mercury is still retrograde, a fair bit of what goes on is internal. Happy birthday to the famous Speaker’s Corner in London’s Hyde Park, formally founded on Oct. 14, 1855, even though it had been around since the early 12th century.
Friday, Oct. 15: Perfect harmony between the sun in Libra and the moon in Aquarius makes for a well-balanced and quiet end to the work week. It was Oct. 15, 1994, that Wayne Gretzky scored his 1,851st goal – breaking the record of 1,850 set by Gordie Howe.
Saturday, Oct. 16: Mars in Libra is stressed by powerful Neptune in his home sign of Pisces, which may indicate a mysterious health issue being resolved, but not without making a change (even if just a change in a long-held belief). Or a change in shoes! Happy birthday #24 to controversial tennis hero Naomi Osaka, still ranked #1 in the world.
Sunday, Oct 17: With the moon in Pisces, feelings of inadequacy may try to get the better of many. Believe in the best you and be happier. It was Oct. 17, 1868, that Canadian War of 1812 heroine Laura Secord died at age 93.
Monday, Oct. 18: Good news. Today Jupiter goes direct. Jupiter will be spending a few more months in Aquarius, before moving (for good) into Pisces. This is our chance to “get it right” and find the driving purpose behind the area of our life (house) where Aquarius sits in our chart. And the other good news: Mercury goes direct today as well. Both Mercury and Jupiter rule our thinking processes – and having both turning direct on the same day is quite something – so you can definitely expect clarity and answers. A veil will be lifted and it will become clear where we stand. Canada’s 15th and 17th Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, was born Oct. 18, 1919.
Tuesday, Oct. 19: Speedy Venus in Sagittarius is where it’s at today. First with a positive bump from the moon in Aries, which makes for hot romantic times, and then with an opportunity to bring our dreams closer to reality later this evening. On Oct. 19, 1957, Maurice Richard became the first player in the NHL to score 500 goals.
Wednesday, Oct. 20: Continuing the theme of action initiated by the new moon in Libra, our October full moon in Aries is as fiery and as cardinal as it can be. The full moon in Aries is opposite Mars and square to Pluto, so it’s an explosive one for sure. Whatever has been brewing in the first two weeks of the lunar cycle will reach a climax. This full moon will shake us to the core – and (especially if you have planets in the last decan of cardinal signs) you want to be very mindful of what you do with what emerges from this. Happy birthday to U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris, who is today 58 years old.
Next week it’s the sun and Mars moving into Scorpio.
