Okay, let’s get into… the astrology
There are a lot of transits that are perfecting today and we have been feeling the effects of these building over the weekend. There are three configurations that I want to talk about that will have an impact on the whole week ahead.
The first, is the Sun in Libra exactly opposite Jupiter in Aries, while also making two sesquiquadrates to both Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Aquarius. This transit could make everyone feel a little restless like there’s some decision or course of action that you are wrestling with. People may feel like they are running out of time and experience FOMO, the “fear of missing out,” on things. But, with this sesquiquadrate energy on top of six planets retrograde, this is not the time to act on impulse. Make careful considerations, weigh your options, and strategize for the future—sleep on it if you need to. If it’s meant to be, it will happen without the need to push things through in a rushed, stressed-out, or impatient sort of way.
The second is Mercury and Venus conjoining in Virgo and making a trine to Pluto in Capricorn. I feel that this transit is going to be a powerful one. Mercury is the messenger god and therefore governs communication, writing, talking, mental acumen, thoughts, words, news, analysis, etc…Venus is the goddess of love, beauty, affection, fun, romance, courtship, elegance, etc…Pluto is the god of death and the underworld and brings with it transformation, birth, rebirth, and death, destruction, excavation, and intensity.
Put all these archetypal influences together in a harmonious trine, where barriers are removed and all lights turn green and I think we will see, hear, and feel some powerful stuff. Not to mention that this trine to Pluto also forms a trine to the demon star, Algol, the Medusa star…There could be some probing investigation that starts during this configuration! I would not be surprised if we heard about celebrities or politicians involved in sex scandals or anything that is like their “skeleton’s being pulled out of the closet,” so to speak.
So, be aware that these energies are coming together and bringing about great and powerful transformations in relationships, in the world around us, and in our personal lives.
On a personal note, Mercury and Venus coming together in Virgo could be very positive, as Venus is in her fall in Virgo and Mercury is in his domicile, this is like Mercury coming to save Venus or bring her aid of some kind. This support from Mercury props Venus up a bit and gives her a little boost of confidence as she moves through the last 4 degrees of Virgo, eventually crossing the line into her home sign of Libra on Thursday, September 29th, 2022.
Remember a few days ago, when I said this mutual reception arrangement was like Mercury and Venus house sitting for each other? Well, this is like Mercury has come home, only to find that Venus’s car won’t start, so he gives her a jump, and then she’s good to go. And Venus is moving fast! She is traveling faster than the Sun right now at 1 degree and 14 minutes per day.
With Mercury and Venus trine Pluto and Algol, though, this makes things a little bit more intense. It’s hard to have a transit to Pluto, even a beneficial one, like a trine, without some sort of intensity…So, maybe this means intense conversations, revelations, unions, or separations may happen. Like I said, probing investigations. And with Venus moving so fast, she is out of there! I don’t think she wants anything to do with this grand trine between Pluto and Algol!
Mercury retrograde, on the other hand, is moving slower than Venus, at negative 48 minutes per day. So, he will be within the 3-degree orb with this trine to Pluto until he goes direct on October 2nd and can turn himself around and high-tail it outta there! But, for now, he is stuck in this intense situation…And it could feel mental, like being stuck in a way of thinking or repetitive thoughts, or anxieties. Depression is a big topic right now and I feel that this transit could be something to watch out for if you or someone you know is dealing with depression.
And thirdly, let’s not forget about the Moon today. The Moon will be moving through Libra today and make an opposition to Chiron and then hit the 15th degree of Libra, thus entering the Via Combusta, “the burned path;” then end her day by making a grand trine to Saturn and Mars. So, this is an interesting combination of energies, as well!
The Moon rules our bodies, our emotions, and the fluctuating circumstances that we find ourselves in—day in and day out. Saturn represents limitations, time, aging, and calcification, the hardening of things; and Mars is the god of war, strife, knives, aggression, action, and initiative. So, this grand trine energy could be positive, maybe it means a barrier or a limitation is removed and you are able to take action on something that you were previously unable to. Maybe it represents something hard (and previously thought of as immovable) being dislodged, and now peace and harmony are restored.
For some reason, I am reminded of a skincare video that I watched yesterday—if you get squeamish about body stuff, you may want to skip this part—I am a trained esthetician and so, I follow a few dermatologists and esthetician channels on YouTube and last night I got really into watching the shorts on this channel showing the removal of ingrown hairs. Now, usually, when you have an ingrown hair and you remove it, it’s a pretty nice and neat little coil of a single hair that got stuck under the skin cells as it was trying to emerge from the follicle.
Everyone reading this has probably experienced an ingrown hair at least once in their life and understands how much pain, redness, swelling, and tenderness this little hair can cause, wherever it is. But, in these videos, there was not just one cute little coil of hair—no! There were clumps of ingrown hairs! Almost like a little furry animal was living inside these people’s hair follicles! But, it was like you could see the skin relax after the technician pulled these out! You could feel the “ahhhhh” moment that was probably washing over these people, creating a feeling of relief!!
This is what I am imagining for this grand trine between the Moon, Saturn, and Mars—it’s going to feel like a big, nasty, clump of ingrown hairs that you have been neglecting to get removed, is finally pulled out!! Well, that’s one manifestation, anyway…
Let’s move on to the card for the day:
Two cards popped out together!
The cards for the day are:
VIII and IX of Pentacles
This is so interesting that these cards popped out together because as you can see, they are in succession. I shuffled this deck several times and the cards were in not in order…
On the Eight of Pentacles, we see a man working on one pentacle, another next to him on the table, and six other pentacles on the wall beside him.
The Eight of Pentacles is about being prudent and diligently working towards a goal that will provide for you in a material way. It’s about being frugal and conserving your energy. Imagine a cross-country runner—they have to pace themselves so that they will have enough power to make it to the finish line.
It is also about the harvest that you will reap by being prudent and wise in your actions instead of chaotic or hasty.
The Nine of Pentacles has a picture of a woman, reaching into a bowl of grapes on the table in front of her. On her other hand, she wears a glove and holds a beautiful bird up by her shoulder. The woman is dressed in regal colors, purple, green, and red, and is wearing a pink turban with a feather and a jewel on it. She is also wearing earrings and a ring. A large gold and red necklace, made up of nine pentacles, is draped across her chest.
The Nine of Pentacles is about gain, in all the areas of our life, be it financial, spiritual, emotional, physical, or mental. The woman on this card has everything she needs.
So, these two cards together indicate that in the following 8-9 units of time—days, weeks, or months—you could see the gains from your harvest, the rewards from all your hard work pay off!
