Rich October Astro Preview by Tara Greene

Hi well I am back in Toronto. Feeling a little bit like I am in two places at once. After September’s Super Total Blood Moon and Virgo Solar eclipses October is rich and earthy in its own way.  RICHES is really the keyword. Diplomacy, Romance, love and sex, dreams, beauty, creativity and communications are very much featured for all signs. Earth signs take center stage. Those Cardinal T-squares are reignited. 

Mercury Turns Direct October 9 as Venus leaves her shadow period of Retrogadation July 25- September 6. 

From the 8th onwards as Venus enters Virgo again, the Planet of Relationships and Mercury the Messenger are in Mutual Reception,hosting  each other in each other’s sign.  This facilitates  all types of communications enabling us to  precisely say what you mean and clarify all the details. No second guessing or taking things for granted.

There are three MAJOR and powerful EARTH TRINES this month, three of which involve PLUTO, Lord of RICHES.

Virgo and Capricorn are featured largely this month Taurus benefits too.

JUPITER in Virgo trines Pluto on the 11th. This positive aspect perfects again in March with Jupiter Retrograde and in June with Pluto Retrograde of 2016. October 11 is the time to plant BIG SEEDS BIG INTENTIONS which will be re-rooted or rerouted later. This is a great transit to improve one’s discipline, health routine, exercise, budget and most especially by attending to what enriched the soul on a daily  level. Jupiter and Pluto are great for increased influence and expansion in business.  

VENUS and MARS are in extremely ROMANTIC POSITIVE DREAMY OUT OF THIS WORLD DANCE 

The both conjunct Jupiter and opposes Neptune-see dates below.  There will be reality checks.

DETAILS

October 6    INTENSE CARDINAL SQUARE, Sun square Pluto

This is a twice a yearly aspect. Igniting the difference between those in power and those trying to find balance their lives. The refugee crisis in Europe will ignite with more power battles.

Retrograde Mercury sextile Saturn in Sagittarius 

MARS in VIRGO OPPOSITE NEPTUNE in Pisces *****The Reality Check versus the Dream aspect.

Build a dream or vision board. Mars in Virgo is aggressively going over every detail, very critically and aggressively. If your dream isn’t on budget, Forget it. Its back to the drawing board. Prepared to be called on the rug and criticized. If denial, getting stoned, avoidance, procrastination or blaming others is your only answer to the jury’s questions you are in deep shit trouble. Virgo’s may fall in love and surrender!

October 8 VENUS enters VIRGO until November 8

KEYWORDS: LOVE gets down to earth and critical. Working overtime for Love.Is this a song?

Questions: Do you love your job?  Shopping spree in the bargain basement. Austerity love. 

Oct. 9 MERCURY  GOES DIRECT FINALLY! Yes but proceed with caution.

Mercury in LIBRA has made us drag the past out  into the light about our relationships hasn’t it? We have been re-evaluating how we speak and communicate and where we need to rebalance our budgets, and everything in our lives.

It will take till October 24 for Mercury to bypass its Retrograde degree. 

October 10 ******VENUS in VIRGO SQUARES SATURN in SAGITTARIUS 

A good day to launch or complete long-term projects. DO Sign on the dotted line. Create budgets for future educational, travel and publishing. NO more airy fairy, you must produce.

Oct. 11  * * *  ** 5 star day 

JUPITER TRINE PLUTO  * * * * *EARTH TRINE

This aspect is also GREAT for TAURUS AND CAPRICORN. Build the path to your greatest and most expansive goals. Great day for earth rituals. I will write later.

SUN INCONJUNCT CHIRON in PISCES 

Trying to be nice and bending over backwards for others just makes matters worse. Are you a martyr? Do you get your identity from being a victim?

SUN OPPOSES URANUS – Cardinal square Re-ignition

OCT 13 Mercury sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius  Full speed ahead. 

Oct. 15  MARS TRINES PLUTO  EARTH GRAND POWER TRINE  =earth rituals

BUILDING THE ROAD and paving the way to the top of your crowning achievements. This is also an extremely dangerous trine with the two rulers of Scorpio.  This can also be a danger from earthquakes and volcanic explosions, forest fires and ISIS or other terrorist acitivities.

Oct. 16 VENUS in VIRGO OPPOSITE NEPTUNE IN PISCES * * * * *

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE IN ROMANCE LOVE AND CREATIVITY. The difference between real love and illusion will be heightened. See beyond the veil of illusion and projections. Build that dream and make it real. Spiritual revelations and epiphanies.

Oct. 17 MARS in VIRGO CONJUNCT JUPITER IN VIRGO * * * * * * *

Rewards for those who have done an excellent and  meticulous job. Build those practical job goals. Initiate a new health and exercise regime. Map out future travel, educational and fun projects.

Oct 22 MERCURY in LIBRA SQUARE PLUTO in CAPRICORN ****** Cardinal CROSS energy again

OCT. 23 SUN ENTERS SCORPIO @ 10:47 am PDT /1:47 pm EDT

This is the most intense, darkest month and the deepest most soulful Sign. Birth, death, the mysteries of sex, money, power, change and transformation are the lessons of Scorpio.

VENUS in Virgo TRINES PLUTO * * * * * *

LOVE is SOULFUL,POWERFUL AND REAL. VERY RICH and grounded. Do earth rituals.

MARS in VIRGO OPPOSITE CHIRON in PISCES 

LOVE HURTS as do the bills. Nitpicking and going over the details exposes other’s wounds and vulnerabilities. There will be Anger about withheld information or lies being exposed especially in religious organizations or any Big Brand such as Volkswagon or the Vatican.

MARS INCONJUNCT URANUS in ARIES @ 9:22 pm /Oct 24 @ 12:22 am 

Anger and frustration over not enough freedom. Revolting against budgetary, cut backs, lay-offs and such. Greece and Europe may have a huge battle on their hands.

OCT. 25  MERCURY INCONJUNCT CHIRON in PISCES – same as above,battles of words and wit.

VENUS CONJUNCT JUPITER in VIRGO*  * * * *GRATITUDE

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF THE YEAR.  VENUS in Virgo loves hard work, budgets and practical beauty. Jupiter expands and allows Virgo’s to chill, to relax , to smell the flowers, give themselves a reward and enjoy life’s harvest. Find love and beauty in the everyday details. 

MERCURY in LIBRA OPPOSES URANUS ****** CARDINAL CROSS ENERGY! DANGER DAY 

Be careful what you say, you may get different results than you were expecting. Peace negotiations and balance is precarious. There is real energy for major revolutions and change.

OCT. 27  FULL MOON at 3+ degrees TAURUS -will write about that in full later.

VENUS OPPOSITE CHIRON IN PISCES 

A day of opening the wounds and letting out the pain, pus, damages.  Crying is very healing. Any held back memories feelings and sensitivites can damage your health.

VENUS INCONJUNCT URANUS IN ARIES 

No matter how much order you try to establish, the horses will kick their way out of their stalls.

OCT. 30  SUN in SCORPIO TRINE NEPTUNE  in PISCES * * * * *

A very positive, deeply emotional, soulful, spiritual Victory day. But this can also prove to be  extreme fantasy and illusion. Delusional, power hungry tyrants are also a strong possibility.  Be extremely careful with drugs, alcohol and thinking you are immortal.

OCT 31 HALLOWEEN GRAND WATER TRINE

Moon in Cancer TRINE NEPTUNE  and SUN 

A very bewitching Pagan NEW YEAR. A great day to scry with water. Visions  and insights galore will appear.Be near water if you can.  In ancient days the dead were put into boats and floated down rivers to the places of eternal rest. We are born from water and this completes that cycle. A good day for water cleanses and releasing with the element of water. A good day to cry out all the pain and sadness to be washed clean.
