In other news, Hurricane Ian is coming up to my neck of the woods in North Carolina. We are expecting heavy rain and wind, which of course could cause flooding and power outages. My family and I have a pretty nice spot that is not prone to flooding and we have backups in place for power and such. Please be safe out there everyone! If you are dealing with this storm, I send my blessings and prayers out to you!
I am reminded of one of the first astrology-themed items that I made for my Etsy shop, the definition of the word, “Astro-prepper,” which I think I made up, reads:
This definition is available on mugs, t-shirts, and a cool laptop sticker, but my favorite item, which seems to be the most “prepper-ish” is on an enamel camp mug.
This mug is great to throw in your bug-out bag or have on hand in case of a power outage. You can clip it onto your pack and it won’t break and it’s great for eating or drinking hot or cold stuff. Check it out in the family Etsy shop and maybe pick up a few for your supplies. Let me know if there is another design in the shop that you would like on an enamel mug and I would be happy to have it made for you! We do take custom orders.
Okay, let’s get into… the astrology
So, today, we are still dealing with many energies overlapping, and aspects applying. We have Saturn and Uranus getting closer to their square, now at only 38 minutes apart; we have Mercury coming to within less than 1.5 degrees of opposing Neptune before Mercury stations direct on Sunday, ending his retrograde cycle; and we have Venus only 1 degree away from opposing Jupiter, which will be exact Saturday. Venus is also now entering the sesquiquadrate zone that the Sun found itself in a few days ago, making two sesquiquadrates to Saturn and Uranus, while they are in square to each other. So, this is a lot of energy that is building up for this weekend.
I’m going to try to break it down a bit, to prepare you all for the energies we can expect over the weekend, but before I get into the planets, let’s talk about the Moon today.
The Moon today is in the sign of Sagittarius and starts her day off with some pretty nice aspects, a trine to Jupiter in Aries and sextiles to Venus and the Sun in Libra. And she ends her day with a trine to Chiron in Aries and an applying sextile to Saturn in Aquarius. I think today we will feel a lot better than we have been. I think our moods could all get a boost of positivity and we could have the feeling like we are filling up the gas tank, emotionally. This weekend looks like it could be a little challenging, but today we are able to get the supplies we need, fill up our gas tanks, and make sure we have everything secure before the astrological storms hit.
The Moon in Sagittarius usually brings a big dose of positivity, hopefulness, adventure, and zeal—all things we could use a big dose of right now.
So, let’s talk about the planetary aspects a bit more…
Saturn and Uranus are getting closer to their square, which gets the closest on October 4th, so this adds an underlying pressure to everything. Saturn and Uranus energies coming together could mean a breaking of a long-standing structure, a shattered reality, or a sudden separation from a relationship. These changes may feel forceful, but ultimately it seems like the Saturn/Uranus combo brings a much-needed shift.
Mercury is about to station direct on Sunday, ending its main retrograde cycle, but before he does, he will get to within 1 degree and 25 minutes of an exact opposition to Neptune. Mercury did oppose Neptune earlier in the year on August 21, 2022. You can look back at what was going on around that date to prepare for what issues, topics, or mental attitudes you may be revisiting this weekend, as Mercury gets close to this space again. Some Mercury/Neptune themes to watch out for are: wishful thinking, confusion, scandal, and miscommunication, as well as an increase in imagination, idealism, inspirational thinking, and intuitive downloads.
And finally, we have Venus. Venus is approaching an opposition to Jupiter which will become exact tomorrow, and subsequently two sesquiquadrates to Saturn and Uranus, joining in on the fun with their square. Here are a few themes to look out for with the Venus opposite Jupiter scenario: good fortune, advancement, luck, pleasant and enjoyable times— and on the other hand, this aspect may bring about, a lack of ambition, wastefulness, self-indulgence, overspending, or too much of a good thing.
Venus’ sesquiquadrates to Saturn and Uranus may bring a feeling of things getting better for you financially or relationship-wise, but there are still a few delays or hurdles you have to figure out.
Let’s move on to the card for the day:
Drink Gold
On this card, from Morgan’s Tarot, you see a fancy tea cup sitting on a saucer, filled with a steaming liquid. Under this image are the words, “Drink Gold.”
In the little book that comes with this deck, the interpretation for this card says,
“Of the various rainbow-colored energies that are playing in the cosmos, concentrate on the golden ones, for they have a positive effect. Perhaps you could manifest the philosophers’ stone or attain spiritual enlightenment. In many contexts, this card applies to money matters. In any case, your productive activities can help many beings.” (Robbins, 1983)
I think that what this card is saying is that look to the positive things that are happening in your life right now and spread the positivity around, “pay it forward,” so to speak. I recently started tithing— not to a religious organization, but to individuals who inspire me. This was a suggestion from my father and I have already felt a shift in my spiritual consciousness. Instead of focusing on where the next dollar was going to come from, I am now thinking about who my next dollar can go to. It’s a much more joyful space, and it feels full instead of empty.
Maybe that’s the idea behind this card. Figure out what “gold” you have that you can share, and get into the spirit of giving because it fills your heart up with positivity and love. It’s really quite remarkable when you think about it.
I would love to know what this card means to you! Please share your thoughts in the comments.
I hope this is helpful!
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy

Ah... Drink gold...LOL when I think about the image of drinking gold I immediately think about drinking urine like Rob Menzies when he was teaching us back in the seventies about herbal remedies and how urine is sterile for the first 20 minutes after it comes out. LOL
