Mercury Enters Scorpio
In preparation for Scorpio season later in the month, Mercury enters these Pluto-ruled waters this week on October 13, 2024, and remains there until November 2, 2024.
In astrology, Mercury is our mind. It influences and shapes our thinking, perceiving, and mental processing. As it shifts through the signs of the zodiac, our mind and communication shifts with it.
When in Scorpio, the planet invites depth to our thinking. It heightens our intuition and opens a line of communication between the conscious and unconscious mind. It brings a psychological framework through which we see, perceive, and think. And it lends sharpness, drive, and determination to our communication and our mental world.
As Mercury traverses the waters of Scorpio, we are in communication with our psyche, intuition, and unconscious. We are offered a heightened perception of truth and able to peer beyond the words and into the energy, emotion, and dynamics behind the words. And we are brought determination to pierce through facades and reach the core of whatever is calling our name.
Sun Square Mars
As the Sun continues to travel through Libra, it comes into a direct square with Mars in Cancer on October 14, 2024. On this day, the energy that has been building all month culminates.
The Sun in Libra welcomes peace, harmony, beauty and balance. Mars in Cancer moves through our emotional body, moving what has become stagnant, igniting what has gone unfelt. This day can spark tension and heightened emotion, although as always, we observe the invitations beneath.
When the Sun squares Mars, we are asked to move, express, feel and transform. We clear stagnancy from within. We observe what has been living within us waiting to be voiced. We realize passions, knowings, hurts, excitements, and needs that have gone unnoticed. And we take that insight and channel it into forward momentum through your weekly horoscope.
Full Moon in Aries
Welcome to October’s full Moon in the fire sign of Aries on October 17, 2024. Sometimes guidance from above and within whispers in the winds. Other times it feels like stepping into the flames, unable to move away. This lunation is the latter. Aries holds presence, strength, power. It’s anything but subtle.
The full Moon speaks to our emotional world. Our unconscious. Our intuition. Our inner world that’s unknown to others. As she moves through her cycles, she invites us to to move along with her. As she meets her fullness, she invites us to meet the fullness of ourselves—known and unknown, desired and undesired. Like a mirror, she reflects back to us all that is within waiting to be witnessed. What is revealed here releases wounds, fears, and unhealthy patterns.
Venus Enters Sagittarius
Adding to the fire of the full Moon, Venus enters the fire sign of Sagittarius just a few hours later on October 17, 2024. In astrology, Venus speaks to our inner worthiness, magnetism, pleasure, abundance, and beauty. She is partnership. She is grace. She is art, love, and fulfillment. She is the embodiment of inner values.
As Venus enters Sagittarius, we experience a sense of optimism, adventure, and passion. We expand the lens through which we perceive ourselves, others, and the world. And we observe the beauty around us, express our love with generosity and boldness, and experience more of life.
