Oct 4 is YOM KIPPUR one of the main JEWISH high holy days A day of fasting and the culmination of 10 days of atoning for your sins. Note that Jews only fast once a year but Muslims do it for a month during Ramadan.
Listen to the sounding of the Ram’s horn or Shofar is part of the ancient ritual. The Ram is the sign of ARIES. The era that the Jews originated from- over five thousand years ago.
Note both holidays have the Ram in them. Ram a lamb a ding dong.
We are still in or leaving the Age of Pisces- the fishes, Jesus’s symbol for the last 2,160 years.
It’s a complex day.
Sun square Pluto in the wee hours
More CARDINAL squares coming into Focus.
this can bring major protests in various parts of the world. Governmental crack downs to try to maintain power over the people. Dreams of the shadow come to light, write them down.
MARS in Sagittarius makes 2 aspects today.
1950’s space art
1. Squaring CHIRON the wounded healer in Pisces in the early a.m.
Mercury goes Retrograde from 2+ degrees of Scorpio 3 hours after at 10:02 am PDT.
MARS is Scorpio’s ruling planet {along with Pluto} so this planet is the dispositor of all Scorpio action. The dispositing planet is where the buck stops. His actions govern how the chips fall. You could also call this aspect pissing in the pool. But not intentionally.
MARS in the Tarot is the planetary energy of THE TOWER # 16
THOTH TAROT
Mars’s lets Sagittarius’s arrows of truth fly with that infamous HOOF IN MOUTH proclivities which dear Sag’s are so famous for.
They don’t mean to be so honest, judgmental or spill the beans. Mars’s in Sagittarius arrows of truth may further deepen an old wound or create new ones. Talking about it is the healing balm.
2. Mars Trines Uranus at 9:18 pm PST Oct 5 at 12:18 am EDT
Uranus rules Aquarius which the Moon is leaving.
Prediction:
Larger scale protests will start happening world-wide. Hong Kong, is the hot spot now. People are awakening to the old BS. They’re not gonna take it anymore. This another Cardinal Cross activation.
Lets back up now as MERCURY GOES RETROGRADE @ 10:02 am PDT/ 1:02 pm EDT
I’ve written about the Mercury Retrograde already last week
I was also interviewed about the Mercury Retrograde by a Toronto arts blog called Studio Beat. NUIT BLANCHE an all night art extravaganza which sees a half million people take to Toronto;s streets to interact with art is a huge success every year. BUT Mercury goes Retrograde this day.
REMEMBER how crazy the energy felt during April’s eclipses? Don’t fear the upcoming Super Blood FULL Moon LUNAR ECLIPSE October 8 although it will be BAZINGA!
Yes it packs a huge wallop but is also extremely creative, freeing and supported by some mighty positive aspects.
It’s Yom Kippur in the Jewish Calendar the Highest Holy Day of the Year. The day of Atonement or at one ment. We have attoned for our sins and beginning a fresh cycle. Aries is the first sign.
The SUN is in Libra at 15+ degrees, the sign of arts and balance. Air sign of the mind.The South Node of the Moon, is at 19 degrees Aries, a fortunate degree of our collective past. We can let go..Moon is opposite the SUN.
Venus, close to the Sun at 10 degrees Libra, the Goddess of Arts, LOVE and female creativity, GRACE, beauty, balance.The beautiful planet adds a powerful feminine energy balancing out where Mars was in April. Venus brings the ability to negotiate, diplomacy. We need that now with WAR escalating in Syria ISIL and what all.
Neptune, Transpersonal Planet, the Higher Octave of Venus, is in its home in Pisces. This is the Divine, the spiritual source of all creativity. Pisces is the ocean, the emotional oneness, Bliss, dissolving the ego through communion.
Uranus is in Aries, still Retrograde. A Transpersonal planet of revolutions, freedom, invention, pioneering, new technologies, higher consciousness, detachment. Uranus rules Aquarius, the sign of universal humanity. Aries is fire, the sign of Initiation, ignition,the masculine force of Life.
Jupiter is a Personal Planet. Jupiter expands whatever he touches. In Leo the sign of creative self-expression, giving love, big-hearted, being the Queen or King of your life. Leo is also the sign of the child. Leo is fire, passion, desire.
Mars the masculine planet of action, war, sex, masculine creativity is in Sagittarius. The three are forming a GRAND TRINE a super positive energy creative booster.
This is the balancing point to the April Grand Cardinal Crosses which had Jupiter Mars, Uranus and Pluto in that tight evolutionary crux.
The Eclipse is at 3:50 am PDT/ 7:50 am EDT is visible fully from all the West coast of the U.S. and Canada. The Eclipse will be visible over Eastern Australia,Northern Japan, parts of Russia and China. see map
All Lunar Eclipses occur ONLY on a Full Moon and with the Moon’s Lunar nodes in close proximity. THIS IS A SUPER MOON ECLIPSE, the MOON will appear BLOOD RED. This Moon’s cycle of October is known as The Hunter’s Moon.
The Eclipse occurs at the most potent 15th middle degree of ARIES. With Uranus almost exactly conjunct at 14 degrees 29 Retro and Moon close by. This is an EXPLOSIVE, fomenting, radicalizing, injection of NEW LIFE FORCE energy.
It’s DYN-O-MITE! on a spiritual level.The protests going on in Hong Kong for democracy is preceding the eclipse energy.
THE ECLIPSE TETRADS and ISRAEL-
These Total eclipses are in tetrads, groups of fours, which is rare. The first was April 15 at 25 Libra, this one, the next April 4, 2015 at 14 degrees Libra exactly opposite this one and finally September 28 2015 at 5 degrees Aries. These TOTAL eclipse tetrads have only occurred three times in the last 500 years. Each one heralded major events in world history, particularly to the Jewish people.
The first one was in 1493, one year after Christopher Columbus discovered America, The Spanish Inquisition exiled the Jews from western Europe. The second one was in 1949 when the State of Isreal was born. The Third was in 1967 during the six day Arab Isreali war and gained more land. These eclipses conincide {Cohen?} with major Jewish Holidays as they are tied to Lunar calendars.
Blood may flow more than usual in these regions over the next 6 months to a year.
Uranus conjunct the SOUTH Node and the Moon. The old patriarchal JEWISH religion is associated with the Age of Aries the RAM 4,000 years ago. The Ram’s horn is blown on Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement. Judaism and later Christianity overturned the old Matriarchal natural order. That cycle needs to end now.
VENUS will EXACTLY Square PLUTO- Rise of the Feminine
the next day at 11+ of Capricorn. The FEMININE needs to step into her power NOW.
URANUS is OPPOSING VENUS-
A NEW FEMINISM IS BEING BORN
Old Female roles are changing. Women are not chattel, sex objects, men do not have any rights to own women in any way. All old traditional ideas of marriage and women’s roles are undergoing total revolution. Notice the F word FEMINISM being bantered about lately? Emma Watson’s moving speech at the U.N. about men stepping into the Feminist movement is Right on. The aspect is Exact on April 11.
Uranus is RETROGRADE so we are re-calling,re-invigorating the Goddess and her ancient worship back now to save the earth and all her children. The Goddess was imminent as Mother Nature, as all women, and mothers, and symbolized by the Moon, and as Venus. Individual women need to step up and claim the issue that inflames her heart-Children’s rights, women’s’ rights, GMO’s, education, health, politics, ecology.
A square of PLUTO and Venus is a huge POSITIVE energy shift in the Cardinal Squares, which began in 2012, the 6th and 7th are yet to come.
The power of LOVE over the Love of power is what this Lunar eclipse signifies. How about just LOVE POWER..
Th Grand Fire Trine is all Masculine energy
And it has the Asteroid JUNO at 14 degree Leo closeto Jupiter at 17 degrees.
JUNO was Zeus’s faithful wife in Greek Mythology. But her origin is that of FEMALE wisdom, or feminine genius. That is what is being supported by the Masculine Fire Trine.
Men need to tune into their own intuition and feelings to learn the trust and to trust women. CHIRON is also square Mars at 14 degrees PISCES. The old sacrificial martyrdom is over and a shining new chivalrous honoring of the Feminine philosophy is being born.
Jupiter is sextile the Sun and the Sun is sextile to Mars,all very supportive.
The Moon was always associated with a Rabbit.
In Chinese, Buddhist, Aztec, Japanese and Native American mythologies the image of the Rabbit sacrificing itself in relation to this Blood Hunter’s Moon is coming to my mind. The rabbit is timid, fertile, feminine and symbolizes fear.
Rabbit Sacrifice painting by Napoleon Brousseau
What fears do you wish to sacrifice, offer up at this Lunar eclipse?
We will be overwhelmingly emotional on this Lunar Eclipse. We need to release, let go of, surrender, give up old emotional ties that have bound us is the evolutionary energy.
We are meant to be free. Embrace freedom and the unknown.
Be brave, the Grand Fire trine supports this.
See my Grand Fire trine article on keeping up this 10 day ritual leading up to the eclipse.
Next up. Scorpio Partial solar eclipse Oct 23 at ZERO degrees Scorpio. Many new rebirths supported.
MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO September 27, 2014 @3:39 pm PDT/ 6:39 pm EDT but only to dip his winged heels into those very deep turbulent waters for a week.
Mercury turns RETROGRADE October 4 at two degrees Scorpio at 10:02 am PDT/ 1:02 p.m. It’s also Yom Kippur, the Holiest day in the Jewish Calender which ends 10 days of repentance Mercury Retrograde energy. The symbol is the day of AT ONE MENT or @ 1 ment to Millenials.
Mercury stations Direct October 25 at 16 + degrees of Libra.
The Scorpio-Libra Mercury Retro message is deep, intensively revealing consciousness about our shadows and secrets, our power trips and sexual hungers, our need for power and control, our relationships and how in or out of balance we are in the Libra juggling act.
If you were born under a Mercury Retrograde and statistically about 30% of the population is- well it’s your time to go into overdrive. You are in your Retro element.
Planets are the most powerful when they station retrograde or direct. They are more visible to us. Vedic astrology considers them to be at their strongest.
The Sabian symbol for this Retrograde Scorpio degree is “ A delicate bottle of perfume lies broken, releasing its fragrance.”
MEDITATE on this
What have you been hiding in your soul essence that must be released? Our olfactory sense is the most ancient part of the brain and the strongest. Smells are related to memory. Remember your particular SOUL fragrance. If you wear that you wont have to wear commercial perfumes. The Genii in the bottle.
DO NOT FEAR or SHOOT the Messenger.
Mercury Retrogrades are a good thing, nothing to fear. Yes expect the usual communication snafus. Mercury governs – speech, computers, messages. Expect people to hear something other than what you said. Double-check everything. Not a good time to buy anything new as you will likely have to return it.
Mercury Retrograde’s are awesome. I like them. It’s a prefix RE- thing. Rest, Renewal, Relax, Rejuvenate, Rewind. Mercury Retrograde’s symbol is Rx just like medicine.
Mercury in Scorpio melds the mental and emotional bodies and focuses deep detachment. Its fearless. Scorpio is sex, death, power, hidden secrets, the shadow, psychology, shared resources, big banking, taxes, the way we communicate through intimacy, what and how we reveal ourselves to others.
Corporate secrets and big power plays will be outed during this time period with more Snowden type of leaks.
Mercury in Libra is the SOCIAL NETWORK. Needing to be with and please others. Libra is about harmony, grace, relationships superficiality, choices, the arts are the talk of the town. Relationships are on everyone’s minds.
MERCURY in LIBRA is in harmony in the AIR element. Much rebalancing needs to be and can be done. We are withdrawing from the emotional intensity of Scorpio for a short while to catch our breaths, to finish all imbalanced relationships before we can go on into the death and resurrection show of Scorpio.
Mercury is the MAGICIAN in the Tarot Numero Uno
thoughts are magical intentions.
SCORPIO is DEATH – rebirth, transformation obsession. Put those two images together in your mind. This will be an intense roller coaster ride to magically change our consciousness.
Hear the beep beep beep backup signal? Old relationships and conversations that you thought were over come back and replay in your mind. You may be rehashing what she said he said and you both didn’t say. You may need to repeat a message that they didn’t get the first time.
Old lovers can reunite, old business deals can reappear.
Since Libra is the sign of the arts. Going retro from Scorpio to Libra is EROTIC ART.

HOROSCOPE PREDICTIONS FOR ALL SUN SIGNS
ARIES
Mercury moves from your 8th house of sex to your 7th house of marriage. Give up the secret lover? Shared resources, taxes and serious stuff needs to be attended to. You need to consider others viewpoints.
TAURUS
Mercury is moving from your 7th house of marriage to your 6th house of work. You are being pulled out of your complacency to retool the machine. Headaches may be an issue.
GEMINI
Mercury is your planet. Retro from Scorpio in your 6th house of work and deep waters- you are feeling in over your head. Mercury in Libra backs into your 5th house of love affairs where you are ever popular and feel much safer- for now.
CANCER
Mercury in the Scorpion is elementaly compatible. A time for love, sex and creativity with Mercury in Scorpio in your 5th house and back to being safely at home in the 4th house in Libra. Catch up on your reading list.
LEO
Mercury in Scorpio is square to you young Lions. You are back in your dens with Mercury in your 4th house but backing into your 3rd house of communications. Redo your victory speech. This is your year Leo.
VIRGO
Mercury is your ruling planet. You move away from all that perfectionist communications with Scorpio in your 3rd house to focus on cash flow and resources with Mercury in Libra in your 2nd house. Make hay while the sun shines. Much diplomacy is required.
LIBRA
Your sign is spotlight central now. Mercury in Scorpio in your 2nd house tempts you with seduction to take the deal. Think it over carefully. Is this really what I want? You will be asking yourself the same question over and over.
SCORPIO
You are almost in control but, not so fast. Your final motivations need sorting out. You cannot cross GO until you understand your daemons with Mercury in Libra in your 12th house. Pay attention to your nightmares. Notice how you are screwing yourself when you screw others.
SAGITTARIUS
Mercury in your 12th house in Scorpio. Pay attention to your dreams. You are naive so watch out for secret enemies. Mercury in Libra in your 11th -you need comrades in arms, your tribe. Work on finessing the inspiration so you can ride this baby home.
CAPRICORN
Mercury in your 11th in Scorpio- you need allies to work with. Sharing power is the new business model. Mercury is in your natural 10th house of career success in Libra and squaring your SUNs. You aren’t finished the ultimate business plan for worldly success yet. Build it and they will come.
AQUARIUS
In Scorpio Mercury is in your 10th house of career success. You can almost taste it. Mercury back into your 9th house in Libra- air compatibility. You have patents or footnotes to finish before you can reach the cosmic heights and revolutionize people’s thinking.
PISCES
Mercury is in your 9th house in Scorpio. Thinking of travelling, going back to school or teaching? You are still transforming your thinking as Mercury Retrogrades back into your 8th house. Joint resources may need to be dealt with. There is more dissolution and letting go, always letting go. Detachment helps.
Starting with that Mars square Saturn- I have to tell you about how we experienced it. My husband put some meat on the stove to cook down for our dog Jasper then he went outside to do something. It burned- Mars in LEO -HOT! the Fire alarm did not go off!- That’s square to Saturn. We all smelled it and came running to the kitchen and all was well, just some burned food and a pot and a house smelling smoky.
9/9 MERCURY ENTERS LIBRA – Let’s talk about Love, Peace
and the “WAR OF WORDS” that is going on between the U.S. and Syria may have a peaceful Libra solution via Russia. As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 looms. Assad’s rhetoric that any strike’s on Syria would be countered as support for Al-Qaeda.
9/10
VENUS ENTERS SCORPIO 9/10- October 7 Bringing Sexy Back –
The KILLER QUEEN, Katy Perry’s new perfume is the perfect description of Venus in Scorpio. Katy is a SCORPIO, can’t you tell?
Actually Katy has 5 planets in Scorpio all in the 1st house- PLUTO CONJUNCT THE SUN! Mercury and an exact SATURN Moon conjunction. I’ll look at her chart separately she will be having her 1st Saturn Return starting in Dec into 2014. She may get rehitched soon.
Venus in Scorpio is overly sexed or sexually abusive, especially with Mars, Scorpio’s ruler in LEO.
see below the sexiest song ever written by Laura Nyro- below who had Venus Chiron Mercury and Jupiter in Scorpio
Venus rules your love life, your values, art, relationships, women. Scorpio Venus babes are vixen’s, the devil’s bride. All that projection of men’s fear of women’s sexuality. But the Male aspect is in LEO for now. Still full of PRIDE, wait till Mars enters VIRGO October 15.
VENUS IN SCORPIO helps you to address your own inner fear around sexuality, any shame. Scorpio cleanses, renews, there may be lots of lingering shadow fears and anger to shed. I still hear from many clients who grew up in atmospheres of very suppressed sexuality in their lives which still limits them from enjoying their sex lives fully.
Scorpio is FIXED, will power, control, secrets, psyche. She won’t back down. No matter what.
Venus in Scorpio dressed in a Dominatrix outfit, cracks her whips and makes Mars in Leo dance to her gyrating, sensual heart.

Erotic charcoal drawing by Napoleon Brousseau
Have a big passionate party, special event on this date.
9/11 the 12th anniversary, Moon enters Sagittarius and crosses where Pluto was on that fateful day.
I will follow up with a look at the two charts and see how they measure up.
It’s a busy Sagittarius Moon day with many aspects some of each Trines squares sextles.
Mercury in LIBRA quincux’s NEPTUNE so those communication hopes may be all smoke and mirrors.
9/12 Sagittairus Moon and its ruler JUPITER In Cancer quincunx- sounds exotic- but it just means that
adventures and cleaning up the house are not compatible to Sagittarius terrain.
Moon and Sun square off – we’re headed for a Full Moon in PISCES September 19
FRIDAY THE 13- the weekends usual T- squares begin
Superstitious?
Moon enters Capricorn to keep you sobered up. Capricorn is down to earth, pragmatic non superstitious, but with Venus and Saturn in Scorpio though…mmm
It’s a lovely romantic up day for Cappy’s! Moon sextiles VENUS and NEPTUNE- romance, dreams pay off, you get your raise!
Moon quincunx Mars in Leo- When push comes to shove, the LION will shove it up the goat ass.
Moon squares URANUS -expect unexpected chilly emotional changes. Mars in Leo loves drama BTW.
VENUS sextiles NEPTUNE for a very romantic late night/ early morning make love on a cloud
9/14 YOM KIPPUR the HoLiest DAy in the JEWISH YEAR and one for Israel to watch out for.
It’s 45 years this day since the Yom Kippor war. That’s called a semi-square aspect in astrology geometrics. Like an anti-semi te??? Just kidding, a
little astro-humour, the Moon’s in Sagittarius FGS. It’s a Day of Attonement- fasting.
Moon squares Uranus are we getting the hang of this T-square thing?
Mars quincunx Chiron which feels like a swift kick in the balls.
CAPPY MOON opposes JUPITER- government pushes for HOMELAND SECURITY- note Jupiter was also in Cancer at 9/11. The birth of H.S.
MERCURY squares PLUTO –Diplomatic relations may still work.
MARS TRINE URANUS –but trigger happy generals, terrorists, etc may pull the unexpected trigger,I hope not.
Moon trines SUN which is nice for 21 degree earth peeps.
9/15
Oy September is 1/2 over already!
Moon enters we’re all in this together AQUARIUS -detachment brings some needed relief.
AQUAMoon squares Venus in Scorpio= Venus in Scorpio knows no detachment, and SATURN too.
MERCURY IS ACTIVE
Quincunxing Chiron in Pisces, opposing URANUS in ARIES = unexpected delusions arise, needy people crawl out of the woodwork, boundaries are a necessity.
Mercury opposes URANUS- now its the Magician’s turn to deal with Uranian energy. This is like an atomic reverse Mercury retrograde. Will they think of some way to contain Fukushima’s radioactive waste destroying the PAcific ocean?
Moon ends on a nice note in Trine to Mercury in LIBRA- you deserve it. Meditating is so important right now. I’m putting out my MP3’s of guided meditations really soon.
Yom Kippor for the Jewish People is the Highest and Holiest and most solemn day of the Year. After 10 days of repentance since Rosh Hashona the New year, Yom Kippor is spent mainly in intense prayer in the synagogue and fasting for 25 hours. The solemn song Kol Nidre is sung on the night of Yom Kippor.
Here is one of my childhood favourite singer’s Al Jolson singing Kol Nidre.
Each Jewish person confesses their sins to G-d directly any wrongs doings against G-d or other persons, prostrates themselves and taps their heart chakra. On this day G-d’s inscription for each person’s fate in the Book of Life for the coming year was inscribed at Yom Kippor and that verdict is now “sealed.”
There are five prayer services throughout the day. Jews wear white as a symbol of purity. Orthodox men take ritual baths in preparation. At the end of the days prayers the ancient Ram’s horn or shofar is blown which concludes the fast. Thi ssprings from the Era of Aries the ram, astrologically and astronomically 4,000-6,000 years ago.
At the end of the days prayers the song Avinu Malkeinu is sung, here is Barabara Streisand singing it in Hebrew.
This is a good ritual. My take on all organized religions these days is to be totally open to all of them as each carries truth. All is ONE at heart, so join in with the Hindus, the Jews, the Christians, the Muslinm, the Chines, the Indigenous peoples. So one this day one can join in on the Jewish people asking for your own personal repentence. Complete fasting, no drinking either. No work, sex is abstained from, no wearing of leather shoes as well, no driving or handling of money until after sundown.
All former promises are revoked the slate is wiped clean. New intentions are made, G-d forgives your sins. Clean slate for a whole new year.
Also there will be services on wall street at the occupation. Jewish leaders are stressing the integrity of helping others not only the Jewish tradition. This is a good thing.
If only people’s personal debts and the National debt could be wiped out annually too. Tranditionally any debt carried for 7 years was forgiven. Can’t we just decide that it is so?
