Mars Direct — signs most affected: Aries & Scorpio
Happy Saturday! It is cold & gloomy here in Duluth, MN. But I am happy, as today, Mars has gone direct. This is a big deal for Aries & Scorpio people (I’m Aries rising), as Mars rules both of these signs. Mars has been retrograde since September 10. Themes of reversal, setbacks, revisions, and weakness are all associated with retrogrades, and especially so, with Mars being in a whole sign square to Saturn, and the rest of the drama happening in Capricorn! Aries & Scorpio people will be starting to feel like things are finally starting to move forward and get back on track.
Venus squares Pluto, Jupiter & Saturn — signs most affected: Capricorn, Taurus & Libra
Meanwhile, Venus is starting to move into a square with Pluto, the planet of deep transformation, obsession, secrets, power and control. Capricorn, Taurus & Libra people will be starting to get a sense of this and may feel like they are going through some kind of transformation right now. Relationships in general may feel especially intense. Things may be coming to a head in some form or another. If you have something to get off your chest, now is the time. This transit is exact tomorrow, so if things are tense with your significant other at the moment, know that it’s in the stars!
After the square to Pluto, Venus will square Jupiter, the planet of excess and gain on Monday. Jupiter can have a liberating energy about it, but can also speak of excess, so beware of urges to indulge too much. The Moon will enter Capricorn late on Tuesday, squaring Venus and activating the whole dynamic once again.
Venus then squares Saturn on Thursday. Saturn can feel very heavy, but try to use this energy to do things that have been neglected or that you’ve been procrastinating about. Saturn also rules the principle of reduction, so cutting things from your life that are not serving you is a good thing to do around this time. The fact that social distancing and lockdowns are ramping up again is very much in line with this transit, Saturn being the planet of restriction, with Venus ruling social gatherings.
Mercury opposes Uranus — signs most affected: Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini & Virgo
This is the third and final pass Mercury will make with Uranus, which goes exact on the 17th. Expect technology issues, unexpected communications or news, or a sense of feeling wired or scatterbrained. Uranus disrupts, so try to go with the flow and not get too upset If things don’t go to plan. We may also hear of some kind of development with vote recounts, or postal votes around this time.
That’s it for now.. remember, the next eclipse in Gemini / Sagittarius is at the end of the month so the energy is very intense right now! If you’re interested in learning how these will affect you, I am now offering written eclipse readings for $35! Contact me if you are interested to learn more. Love & light to all! <3
