Energy
Astrology Forecast October 23 – 29, 2023
The Sun moves into Scorpio today, setting a more spiritual and karmic tone for the next four weeks. This is one of three times a year when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, making it easier to delve into our souls, as well as communicate with spirit on the other side.
The Aquarius Moon square to Uranus in Taurus this afternoon may bring out the worst in some people for a few hours, so be prepared for mood swings, erratic or hyperactive behavior, as well as stubbornness and irritability. Stay in your zen, do not overreact, and avoid making hasty decisions.
The Pisces Moon tomorrow and Wednesday will add to the magical tone of this week, making inner and soulful movement a priority over outer activity.
We’ll feel re-energized Thursday and Friday under the Aries Moon, making these the most productive days of the week.
A Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse takes center stage on Saturday, urging us to let go of the past and prepare to take on a more fluid and flexible tone for the next two weeks. It also marks the second eclipse of the month and the promise that we will have a different focus and perception of our lives for the next six months.
Sunday’s Taurus Moon will inspire us to acknowledge the beauty that surrounds us, calling for a day of grace and gratitude.
Reconnect With The Power Of The Universe
When we come into this existence, we remain energetically connected to the colossal power of our Source. The infinite power of the universe is always with us.
When we desire something that will serve our highest good or enhance our sense of self and well-being, this eternal power to which we are all connected is always working on our behalf. Why not use something that is already there as a natural extension of who and what we are?
The trick for most of us is to fully believe, accept and utilize this creative energy connection.
When we are in the habit of not expecting too much good to happen to us, Source does not judge or question, nor does it actively seek to improve or change our lives without our participation. It simply remains present and continues to flow in resonance with our passive or even pessimistic energy frequency until we awaken to the full magnificence of its full transformative potential.
It is up to us to reach out and call upon the creative power of the Universe to create a flow of energy in a new direction or at a higher frequency that will immediately respond to our intentions, wishes and desires. You may have tried to connect with source energy in this way, but have not received favorable results. The main reason this happens is often because our doubt, fear or negativity has blocked the way.
Astrology Forecast October 16 – 22, 2023
We will be marching to the beat of our own drummer this week, so forget what others think and follow your instincts; it is the best way to make the most progress!
There is an intense energy under the Scorpio Moon today, so be careful not to step on other people’s toes in your attempts to achieve your own lofty goals.
To make matters worse, the day begins with the Scorpio Moon in opposition to Jupiter in Taurus, which is a transit notorious for instigating legal issues and clashes with authorities, as well as conflicts in marriages and romantic relationships. Slow down, stay calm and watch for any signs of trouble at home, in the office, and on the road.
Tomorrow through Thursday will be more light-hearted as the Moon passes through fun-loving and social Sagittarius.
Thursday afternoon’s Sagittarius Moon sextile Mercury in Libra offers a particularly good opportunity for sales, advertising and marketing, and our communication skills will be at their best. However, we may not get much done due to the Moon’s square to Neptune in Pisces and sextile to the Libra Sun. These two transits tend to lower our energy levels and invite hypersensitivity, laziness, daydreaming, and a passive attitude. You may have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps to get it done!
Astrology Forecast October 9 – 15, 2023
Libra energies are at a high point as we move towards a Libra New Moon / Solar Eclipse this Saturday. We will see evidence of this aspect throughout the week. Pluto will also be going direct after five months in Capricorn, clearing out limitations and setting us on a new path to accomplishment. It may take us a few weeks to notice the shift, but rest assured, change is coming!
A Leo Moon square to Uranus in Taurus may cause us to feel irritable and moody this afternoon. Unexpected changes may also happen, so stay centered and do not make rash decisions.
The Moon will move through Virgo tomorrow through Thursday, shifting our focus to detail work, organization and idealism.
Wednesday morning will be great for social advancement and business success as the Virgo Moon trines Jupiter in Taurus. We will have an optimistic outlook on life and our social skills will be in high gear. The perfect opportunity to make friends and influence people!
Mars moves into Scorpio on Thursday, and while the planet of assertiveness does not always work well in water signs, this two-month cycle will work to unearth soulful longings and intuitive insights that will be crucial to our forward movement in 2024.
Friday’s Libra Moon and Saturday’s Libra New Moon / Solar Eclipse herald more new beginnings, so be sure to make a New Moon wish for anything you hold dear. Eclipses come in pairs, and the next one, a lunar eclipse, will occur on October 28th, beginning a new six-month cycle of focus for us all.
Karmic events are likely on Sunday, when the Moon enters Scorpio, piquing our curiosity. Old connections can pop up out of nowhere, and old memories are a reminder to pay close attention – anything can happen!
The Miracle Power Of Blind Faith
In the early 1980s, Britain was in the grip of a recession and it was hardly the time to lose your job. Unfortunately, I did, and fell into debt and depression. In total, I was about a year’s salary in debt. It was a daunting sum to pay back when I had little prospect of finding a job in such an economic climate.
I went to the bank and explained my plight to the loan officer to make arrangements to pay off my debt in increments. I remember sitting in his office and he looked me in the eye and said, “Unfortunately, it looks like you are not going to get out of this situation anytime soon. You are going to have to file for bankruptcy.”
However, being a feisty young woman of blind faith, I replied, “I can assure you that I will! Even if it takes a miracle!” In the back of my mind, I knew I desperately needed one.
Well, my miracle did not come in the form of an unexpected lottery win or tax refund, as I had hoped, but rather in the form of steady work through a temporary staffing agency, as well as sheer grit, determination and blind faith that enabled me to ‘miraculously’ turn my situation around. Yes, I did it!
This life experience may not seem like much of a miracle to some, but it certainly was to me at the time. I guess it all depends on what the term ‘miracle’ means to you? For some, like me, a miracle might be overcoming debt, unemployment, and an economic recession. For others, it might be overcoming a life-threatening illness or disability, or meeting your ideal partner after a devastating divorce, or landing your dream job against all odds. I do however believe that ‘blind faith’ is often the key, no matter the circumstances.
Remove Toxic People From Your Life
Have you ever had the presence of an emotional vampire in your life? This can happen in a love relationship, a friendship, or with a family member.
You will feel like your soul is being drained, you are not yourself. Your joy is gone when you are around them, you can’t be yourself. If all of this describes how you feel, then maybe it’s time to do some soul searching. Remember who you are and how important you are.
I have counseled so many people who are normally outgoing, loving, supportive, wonderful souls, but sometimes these folks are so giving that they give their power away. They forget to protect and take care of themselves.
Are there people in your life whose needs seem to be all that matters, but yours never do? Love is not love and friendship is not friendship if you have to put yourself aside on a daily basis in a relationship. We must constantly remind ourselves of this.
Sure, relationships are give and take, but when they seem to be only take and take and there is no giving, something is wrong.
Who we surround ourselves with, who we give our time to, greatly affect the quality of our lives and our spirit. If you suspect that someone is a toxic person, do not be afraid to set boundaries and make changes in your life.
You deserve to feel nothing less than wonderful and lovable, as God, Source, Spirit, the Divine intended you to be. Do not let fear make you settle for less than what you are worth.
