We all have a dark side. We all have demons. Pluto is going to take us deep inside of ourselves as it squares up with Pluto. This in of itself is not problematic. Any Sun/Pluto aspect is an opportunity for self-awareness and growth. However with a Sun opposition to Eris in addition to the Sun/Pluto square we have potential for the projection of our demons on to others now, which can lead to discord, chaos and destruction. Ego conflicts with authority figures over power dynamics are also more prevalent under these energies. Step back from anger and judgement and from reckless action or reactivity. Allow yourself to find perspective. Perhaps even compassion. If that seems like too far a reach try to conjure some good old pragmatic Capricorn self-interest to steer you from self-sabotage or worse. We want to grow and evolve. And that is the positive of the Sun/Pluto dynamic. But life is hard enough all on its own without us making it more difficult for ourselves via reactivity, poor choices and self-sabotage.
These challenging Sun/Pluto/Eris energies will hold strong until Tuesday. Duncan de la Montagne The Sun in Libra formed a trine with Jupiter in Aquarius early this morning. This Air Element trine is an overwhelmingly positive aspect. It acts internally via instilling hope. It acts externally by bringing opportunity and bestowing good fortune. It can bring blessing in love, creative projects, friendship or business. There is an optimism in the air under these energies that can help inspire us. We feel connected to community, the Earth and the Cosmos. We are able to see deeper meaning and possibility. The beginnings of new dreams can be spun today. Plant seeds. Open yourself. Believe.
The energies of this fortuitous transit extend into the weekend. Duncan de la Montagne The inner planets continue to align in positive formations which create favorable skies and good energies. The friendly, flirty energy of Wednesday's Venus in Sagittarius sextile with newly direct Saturn in Aquarius is conducive to exploring new relationship possibilities. We are willing to go slowly however and take a step by step approach. New creative opportunities and partnerships can materialize now. We feel grounded and optimistic under these skies. We feel stable in our emotions
We have clear understanding of our core values. We can find common ground with others now. We can express our self clearly and rationally. The Moon will harmonize with Saturn late Wednesday night as it moves into Aquarius, carrying these energies into Thursday. Duncan de la Montagne Venus, the Planet of Love and Art, has moved into the passionate, spontaneous Mutable Fire Sign of Sagittarius, and our heart yearns for new adventure. Or is it our libido doing the yearning? Either way fun and excitement are what we will be seeking during this Venus transit. The need to move away from romantic situations that have become too heavy or in which we feel personally limited can be very strong during this transit. We want to be happy now, and we are willing to do what it takes to facilitate that state of being. Venus in Sagittarius can have us envisioning and planning our next trip. It could also have us just spontaneously embarking on one. Venus will be in Sagittarius until November 5.
Duncan de la Montagne The Moon wanes to dark in sign of Libra on Wednesday October 6 at 7:05 AM EDT. This New Moon in Libra is about creating new balance in our life, both internally and externally. In our relationships we need to make sure we are receiving, as well as giving. In our communities we can look for fresh ways to create unity and cohesion in the face of anger and divisiveness. Finding common ground is usually a good place to start. Negotiations can go well in a Libra lunar cycle as we are more likely to express our needs in a considerate, unthreatening manner. In the internal sense we can immerse our self in Libra harmony, find the means to detach from what is disturbing our serenity and recalibrate to a state of well-being again. We are more effective in pursuing goals and engaging in activism when we are calm, balanced and focused. Our message is usually better received when that is the case as well. Prepare today to plant the seeds of balance and harmony and set intent to reclaim serenity and well-being in yourself and in your life during your New Moon ritual tomorrow.
Duncan de la Montagne Mercury is forming a trine with Jupiter now. This can be a very good energy window for making beneficial connections with positive new people in friendship, love or business. That being said, because Mercury is retrograde this Air Element trine is more likely to be about self-awareness. There is an optimism infused in these interplanetary cosmic energies. Finding new inspiration and purpose in life is possible now. There may also be an opportunity to connect with people from the past. Important conversations left unfinished can be completed now. This can also be good time to revisit a project you set aside a while ago. Do take some time Sunday to sit and reflect. Enjoy the easy energies of the day. Find calm inner balance and prepare yourself for the setting of fresh intent during the coming Libra New Moon.
Duncan de la Montagne Venus in Scorpio is forming a sextile with Pluto in Capricorn today. This alignment and the ongoing transit of the Moon through Leo puts sex on the Zodiac radar screen today. Consensual, respectful sex of course. These energies want us to take things deeper, be it exploring our own sexuality and our relationship with sex or exploring sexuality on a deeper perhaps even experimental level with a partner. Sex of course is a key element in a healthy life. Sex was bestowed upon the world both for pleasure and for procreation by the Universe. Of course there are times when it may feel safer or better to step back from this part of life for awhile and that is okay too. And one should never begin to participate in the sexual area of life until it feels right for them to do so. This can be a good day for figuring things out. It can be a day of inspired and transcendent physical passion. This can also be a good day for devising effective love strategies. Just be sure to not employ outright manipulation in the pursuit of your desire or goal. And NEVER go to the love spell place.
Duncan de la Montagne Venus in Scorpio is forming a trine with Neptune in Pisces now. This beautiful Water element trine is one of the best inter-planetary aspects in astrology for love and romance. Creative life benefits from this aspect too. The air is rich with energy waves of attraction and inspiration. We seek deep soul connections. We hunger for emotional intimacy. We are acting on subconscious need. Intuition and inspiration can blend to create works of great beauty. Today is a day to fall in love, be it with a new person or a new project. These trine energies will remain strong through to Saturday. Be open to what the Universe can offer you now.
Duncan de la Montagne Depending on which time zone you live in Mercury will station retrograde either late Sunday night or early Monday morning. The planet of the mind, communication and conceptual creativity will be retrograde until October 18. Internal and external processes slow down, particularly in the areas of life governed by the Libra ruled House in your chart. The past may come back to visit again via triggering events in the present. This can reveal areas in our personal mythology where we require further and deeper healing Libra is at times a sign that can be lazy, indecisive and prone to procrastination. A Mercury retrograde in Libra intensifies those predispositions. Communication breakdowns, both human and technical are a standard feature of any Mercury retrograde cycle, so extra care is required throughout the period. Remember, the devil in the details. This planetary event serve a catalyst for the ending of relationships that no longer work or that are outright toxic. This can extend to work relationships, as well as love. Legal issues or problems can come to a head now. As long as we do not get mired in melancholia or self-pity a useful reflection on our life can occur now, a retrospective gaze that can serve to help us reconcile the past, bring greater awareness to the present and steer us toward a better future.
Duncan de la Montagne Venus in Scorpio is opposite Uranus in Taurus today. Expect the unexpected in both love and finance with this aspect. Could bring serendipitous good fortune, could bring complete disaster. If you have a partner a surprise event a discovery or a revelation now may cause tension. Healthy relationships should be able to withstand what comes up. Other relationships, not so much. If you have been 'getting away' with something this can be the day you get caught. Certainly not a day to take reckless chances. In those sort of situations what can go wrong will go wrong. Even at that no matter who we are or what we are doing fate will present each of us with a choice or opportunity. Perhaps the way to see the eventual outcome of that situation is that it was based in Karma we had already spun.
