Astrology Forecast October 31 – November 6, 2022
Today may start off feeling like it will be a blue Monday, with the Capricorn Moon conjunction with Pluto casting a gloomy, dispirited shadow this morning. This transit is notorious for making us feel moody and even depressed. Also avoid discussing your taxes or money issues with your partner this morning, as it could lead to an explosive argument!
Aim to keep your cool until mid-morning when the Capricorn Moon sextile with Jupiter in Pisces will improve our mood and open up new energies for business opportunities and money-making possibilities.
The Moon shifts into Aquarius later today and transit this constellation for the first three days of this week. With this aspect we can count on some changes in direction and new ways of thinking. We’ll have to guard against moving in rash ways or making steadfast decisions under this influence. However, we’ll be presented with some unusual ideas and opportunities we can put into practice in the near future.
Thursday and Friday unfold under a Pisces Moon, where our intuition and spiritual practices take center stage. Even without all the facts, we can move with our hearts and trust that Spirit is directing the traffic.
The weekend will most likely be our most productive part of the week, as the Moon travels through action-oriented Aries and will have us prepping for the change of season, attending to household repairs, or joining others in fun adventures. Whatever activities we decide to fill our weekend with, being a couch potato should ideally not be one of them.
Only You Can Achieve Your Goals
The indigenous peoples of Canada traditionally believe that those born under the Budding Trees Moon (which occurs in the spring months of mid-March to mid-April) have incredible potential to excel in whatever goals they choose for their life. However, it is also said that some of these blessed individuals may be unwise in their expectations of their own abilities, which may slow their progress, or even prevent them from moving forward at all.
It is further believed that this may also happen if they tell a friend or family member what they are hoping to achieve in life, and them not being supportive. Instead of encouraging them, and expressing their faith in their abilities, they might instead call them an unrealistic dreamer or sceptically say they will believe it when they see it. Yes, sadly, it is usually those who are supposed to be our primary support system in life who tend to not believe in us, and least support our dreams.
There is much wisdom in the teachings of the ancient aboriginal peoples. Yes, we can achieve whatever we set our mind to, and anything is indeed possible, but we must also be mindful of our expectations. It does not matter what the goal itself is; what matters most is our own expectations of being able to achieve it.
If we do not believe in our own abilities to achieve even our most modest goals, we will continuously suffer from self-doubt, feel overwhelmed, and never feel worthy enough.
No matter what we choose to aim for in life, it is simply that: a choice. Your choice. No one can stop you, except yourself, and nobody else can get into your head to put you down, unless you let them. No matter what choice you are making, you must also stand behind it every step of the way.
Astrology Forecast October 24 – 30, 2022
Today’s Libra Moon sets the scene with an air of balance and harmony. The Libra Moon’s trine with Saturn in Aquarius this morning, as well as its conjunction with Mercury in Libra by midday, makes today an excellent time to conduct business, with productive meetings, effortless financial decisions and powerful sales presentations inspired by mental sharpness and sound judgment.
The highlights of this week are tomorrow’s Scorpio New Moon and a Solar Eclipse. The first of two eclipses (the second occurring in Taurus on November 8th), this celestial event opens the door to change, calling for us to go internal for a few weeks to look more closely at our feelings, our spiritual beliefs, and our intentions for the future.
The Moon will continue to wade through Scorpio on Wednesday, setting the tone for our spiritual transformation.
A lighter energy will prevail on Thursday and Friday as the Moon dances through fun-loving Sagittarius, encouraging us to embrace the festivities of Halloween and Samhain, the Celtic festival this holiday is named for.
Mercury will move into Scorpio on Saturday, turning our focus to all things spiritual and metaphysical for the next few weeks.
On Sunday, Mars, the planet of action and assertiveness, will turn retrograde and travel backward for the next two months. This planet typically only goes retrograde every other year, so this cycle will have us going back and reviewing our movements, actions, and dreams to make sure we are operating in the most effective and authentic ways possible.
Astrology Forecast October 17 – 23, 2022
The Sun is spending its last week in Libra, so keep your focus on love, relationships, and balance.
Today’s Cancer Half Moon could make us feel more sensitive than usual and cause arguments and interpersonal problems at work. So, it’s important to take everything with a grain of salt and don’t make it personal. Think carefully before you react.
Fortunately, the Cancer Moon trine with Neptune in Pisces will increase our levels of empathy, so tap into your caring side instead and try to understand the other person’s point of view, instead of overreacting and taking it personally.
Tomorrow and Wednesday the Moon will venture through Leo, inspiring us to be more generous and heart-based. We’ll be in the benevolent mood to give and share, but be careful not to ignore your own needs in the process.
Thursday through Saturday the Moon charges through Virgo, bringing out our penchant for organization and details. The only warning here is not to get caught up in ideals or become too nit-picky. Keep your eye on the bigger picture and do not sweat the small stuff!
Saturn turns direct on Saturday, ending its four-month retrograde period and calling for us to restore discipline and order to our schedules. Combined with the Virgo Moon, we may spend most of Saturday clearing out clutter, tossing out things that no longer serve us, or planning a new project.
The Sun will move into Scorpio on Sunday, followed closely by Venus. With these two planets in the sign of the Scorpion for the next four weeks, our love of the spiritual, the mysterious, and the unusual will seek expression.
Astrology Forecast October 10 – 16, 2022
There’s a beautiful balance to this week under the Libra Sun, starting with today’s energizing Aries Moon. This is a great day to get creative and be proactive in resolving any issues that have been holding you back.
But beware the Aries Moon square with Pluto in Capricorn this morning, as this transit is known to inspire intolerance and aggression. Stay calm and centered, avoid the drama, count to ten, and do not lash out. Also, check on your pets’ health, as they are more likely to not be feeling well this morning.
Things hum along smoothly under a Taurus Moon tomorrow and Wednesday, where we can turn out attention to restoring order in our physical worlds or attending to health and financial issues.
On Wednesday the Taurus Moon trine with Pluto in Capricorn late in the afternoon offers a special opportunity to do something fun or adventurous that is outside your normal after-work routine. Be spontaneous, take a different route home, stop at the park near your house, or call a friend to meet you at that new coffee shop downtown.
Thursday and Friday are all about socializing under the Gemini Moon, and we’ll also be able to do some great research and share new ideas with everyone around us.
Friday afternoon’s Gemini Moon trine Venus in Libra, as well as its trine with the Sun in Libra in the evening sets the tone for a perfect date night. Harmony, love and a cheerful mood will be at the forefront. Surprise your beloved or new love interest with a gourmet dinner at a fancy restaurant, as you will both enjoy the food more than usual during this Gemini-Libra energy interaction.
The rest of the weekend will reflect the vibes of the Cancer Moon, allowing us to focus on home, family, and relaxation.
Astrology Forecast October 3 – 9, 2022
Today’s Capricorn Moon should make for a highly productive and progressive day, so keep your nose to the grindstone as it will pay off handsomely!
If you lack the drive and motivation to make most of today’s energy, the Capricorn Moon’s trine with Uranus in Taurus will support us this morning with its energies of increased ambition, focus, attentiveness, and creativity. Don’t allow the usual humdrum to weight you down…there are always new and original ways to get things done!
The productive, determined approach will be especially wise today, because tomorrow and Wednesday could be fraught with interruptions, distractions and unexpected changes courtesy of the Aquarius Moon.
To make matters worse around midday on Wednesday, the Aquarius Moon’s square with Uranus in Taurus, as well as its conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius, may cause people to be difficult, uncooperative, moody and irritable, so it will be challenging to keep ourselves and others motivated. Do not give in to negative thinking or self-pity. And, if there is currently tension at home with your significant other, Wednesday will definitely not be the best time to try and resolve it.
Thursday and Friday should also unfold relatively smoothly under the Pisces Moon, but with the Moon preparing to wax full in Aries on Sunday, we may experience some unusual and synchronistic circumstances. Full Moons usually carry a few surprises with them as they near fullness, and this one will most likely be no exception. For example, you might run into a long-lost friend, or find hidden money while looking for something else!
Venus will go direct on Saturday after six weeks of retrograde motion, restoring a sense of peace and balance to our worlds.
Sunday’s Aries Full Moon also signals a time of release, so for the next two weeks, we will want to focus on letting go of anything that is draining our energy or slowing our movement.
Astrology Forecast September 26 – October 2, 2022
The Moon will dance through Libra today and tomorrow, balancing our movements and reminding us to move in authentic and honest ways. As well as being a productive energy, this is a good time to make new commitments to ourselves, and to our overall physical and financial health.
Today’s trine between Venus in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn, followed by a Venus in Virgo conjunction with Mercury in Virgo, will further boost our productivity and professional success with enhanced social interaction, good manners, a cheerful mindset, imaginative strategies, and a zest for life. Make the most of these aspects today to promote your business or career.
Wednesday and Thursday’s Scorpio Moon carries a soulful air about it, calling for us to examine our movements and align with our soul’s desires. Venus will move into Libra on Thursday, adding a deeper sense of unconditional love and gratitude to all our movements.
Thursday afternoon will also be a good day for business marketing and travel. The Scorpio Moon sextile with Mercury in Virgo is a highly favorable aspect for advertising, promotions, sales and customer relations.
Friday afternoon’s Libra Sun sextile the Sagittarius Moon will bring the work week to an early end for many of us, as it will likely make us feel somewhat passive and laid-back. Fortunately, it also fosters good working relationships, so the boss may be open to letting you leave earlier than usual. All you have to do is ask. Might as well pack it up and get the weekend started!
A light-hearted and fun-loving Sagittarius Moon will take us into a weekend full of fun social events or relaxing activities, allowing us a few days to regroup and recharge. Mercury will also turn direct on Sunday, ending its three-week run of computer glitches and setbacks. We shouldn’t relax yet though, as it usually takes at least a week for it to straighten itself out.
