Thursday, Sept. 29: Venus enters one of the signs she rules, Libra. (Venus also rules Taurus). When Venus is happy, there is a background of happy. In the coming weeks, Venus will walk hand in hand with the sun, oppose Jupiter and trine her lover Mars (now in Gemini). Venus leaves Libra and enters Scorpio on Oct. 24. Until then, we will feel at ease with life, ourselves and others. Venus in Libra opens us to be receptive to others – so this is a good time for social activities and for anything to do with relationships. Once, Canadian-born Norma Shearer was a huge star in Hollywood. On Sept. 29, 1926, she wed Hollywood mogul Irving Thalberg.
Friday, Sept. 30: The moon moves from secretive and sexy Scorpio into all-seeing Sagittarius just past midnight today, setting up a period of confidence boosted with help from Jupiter and Venus. Go big. Marion Cotillard, born Sept. 30, 1975, won the Academy Award for best actress in “No Country for Old Men” in 2008.
Saturday, Oct. 1: In spite of a day of mostly little frustrations and sidetracking, today is full of new love. So go for it. Happy birthday #98 to America’s 39th president, Jimmy Carter, who still volunteers with Habitat for Humanity, building homes for the poor.
Sunday, Oct. 2: Mercury goes from retrograde to direct at 5:08 this morning. Mercury is trine to both Pluto and Uranus, square to Mars and opposite Neptune. Thinking has never been more precise or complicated. A surprise sustained by sheer willpower is the best of it. Today is also the third-quarter moon in Capricorn. This may be the least forgiving quarter moon of the year. It was Oct. 2, 1957, that David Lean’s film “Bridge on the River Kwai” was released. It won the Oscar for best film in 1958.
Monday, Oct. 3: The moon is in Capricorn all day, including a conjunction with Pluto tonight. As truthful feelings appear, each one of us must decide what do in response. Guelph-born actor Neve Campbell turns 49 today.
Tuesday, Oct. 4: Affection, romance and love are in the air today. It’s so easy. Everyone agrees silent film comic Buster Keaton was born Sept. 4, 1895. Most give Piqua, Kansas, as his place of birth. Rumours have it that Napanee, Ont., may be his true birthplace. Research of Piqua reveals not a town, but a gas station.
Wednesday, Oct. 5: On the seven connections in the solar system today, the moon, the sun and Mars make for the strongest energy and together create a scene of generosity and harmony. During the War of 1812, today was the Battle of the Thames, where the Americans defeated the Mohawk and British coalition.
