Scorpio symbolizes death and rebirth, and transformation. Scorpio represents the underworld, and deep, secretive matters. Solar Scorpio is not usually an easy month. In California, where I live, October is the most dangerous month for fires, and we brace again for extreme fire danger this week. Take some solitude this month to go deep and inward. This week’s Full Blue Moon on Saturday is a whopper! Uranus conjuncts the Moon and opposes the Sun exactly! Expect the unexpected and be prepared for more breakdowns, or breakthroughs. Mercury continues retrograde until Election Day, November 3rd. Mercury retrograde periods offer time to re-think projects, re-work plans, review intentions, and

Mercury continues retrograde until election day, November 3rd. Mercury retrograde periods offer time to re-think projects, re-work plans, review intentions, and re-prioritize goals. It’s a good time to address and clear your email “in” box, rather than making new commitments. Communication is more prone to mix-ups, and mechanical things, especially technology, are prone to breaking down. Be patient when things don’t go the way you thought they would.

This week the Sun takes the stage, forming a T-square with Mars and Pluto, again creating a lot of fiery turmoil. In addition, Mercury turns retrograde on October 13th until November 3rd. California is recuperating from the latest wildfires, but more heat and windy conditions are forecast for the week ahead. The weather pattern is unnerving, especially with the fiery hot T-squares. Again the week ahead is powerful, explosive, and transformative. Let us hope that thi

Again, there is a great deal of tension and pressure from the planets this week, and for several weeks to come, and there are plenty of highly charged political and social issues expressing this energy. This week the main stage is taken by Mars and Pluto who square off exactly on Friday, October 9th, and who act out ferociously and perhaps violently, stirring up trouble from October 5th through 12th from 24 to 21 degrees of Aries/Capricorn. These planets represent the shadow, so this square offers opportunities to look at our own shadow and issues of anger and volatility. The first presidential debate played out between the dynamic stations of Saturn and Pluto, turning direct in motion on Se
