Okay, let’s get into… the astrology
The Moon in Aquarius today is going to cross over Saturn, joining in on his square to Uranus, today. This could bring about a feeling of isolation and separation, where you may feel like you are on the outside looking in on a situation, or the other way around, stuck inside looking out. You could be dealing with feelings of loss and confusion as old structures have been torn away and are now piles of rubble in your environment, literally or figuratively.
Mercury has finally moved forward to 25 degrees of Virgo today, one degree off the opposition to Neptune and one degree closer to making another trine to Pluto. This is the third and final trine to Pluto that Mercury will be making during this most recent retrograde cycle, and with Pluto getting ready to station direct on Saturday, the 8th, we could be feeling the pressure building.
The last two Mercury trine Pluto transits happened on August 22, during Mercury’s shadow period, and then again on September 27th, last week, during the retrograde. And now, he will be making his third and final pass— exact tomorrow. Think back to what was going on in your life or what you were hearing in the news around these two dates and that will give you a taste of what you may expect.
Several transits are coming up this weekend and next week and I want to make you aware of them: Pluto stations direct on Saturday, October 8, 2022. We’ve been talking a little about this one, already.
The Full Moon is this coming Sunday, October 9th, 2022. The Moon will be at 16 degrees of Aries, opposite the Sun at 16 degrees of Libra. The Aries/Libra axis always brings up issues surrounding your individuality, autonomy, and independence vs. your relationships with other people, codependence, and partnerships. This Full Moon will inevitably bring up things in relationships that people have been weighing out, at least since the New Moon in Libra.
Mars is now 2 degrees away from a square to Neptune, which will be exact on October 12. This marks the first time, out of three, that Mars and Neptune will make this aspect, due to Mars’ retrograde cycle this year. The second time that Mars and Neptune will square will be during the Mars retrograde on November 19, 2022, and the final time will be on March 14-15, 2023, during Mars’ direct motion, before he leaves Gemini the last week of March 2023.
So, Mars will be within the 3-degree orb of squaring Neptune, starting today, for months. This means that we need to pay attention to what we can take action on that is real, and not a deception. We may find ourselves questioning our logic during this time period or wondering if our actions are actually doing something real. It could be a time of overwhelm as we try to tackle really big issues in our lives, so it would be good to remember that sometimes it’s better to just do the task that is in front of us—like dealing with a mountain of dirty laundry—first, you need to simply wash it all, one load at a time, and when it’s done in the wash and the dryer, you need to fold it all— one item at a time. You can’t actually fold it all at once, because that’s ridiculous! You can sort your laundry at any of these stages to stay organized and that will help, but ultimately, you still have to do things one at a time. This will be important to remember over the next few months as we have Mars retrograde in Gemini, square Neptune.
And we are definitely feeling the pile-up from the Mercury retrograde, right? So, it’s time to clean things up, do those dishes, and finish that paperwork that has accumulated on your desk. Just work on things that are really important first, and leave the tasks that don’t really matter for later.
Getting stuff done, organized, and put away will probably help with our emotions today as we deal with our feelings of isolation and separateness, especially with the Moon conjoining Saturn and the pressure building with Pluto.
Let’s move on to the card for the day:
What is the guidance for today?
V The Hierophant
On this card you see the Hierophant, wearing a triple-crown, and holding a triple staff, which symbolizes the spiritual, mental, and physical worlds. At his feet are two neophytes, kneeling.
The Hierophant represents the church, the law, and organized religion. It symbolizes faith, in yourself, in your religion, or in your family. It also represents the teacher-student relationship and the concepts of learning and teaching.
I feel as the guidance card for the day, this is a reminder that we have all the gifts and intuitive knowledge to handle whatever change we are experiencing right now.
The other day we got the Hierophant and I felt like it was saying that we needed to remember that we have our own connection with the divine and we don’t need a middle man like a church, priest, or organization, and I certainly still feel that way, but I feel a slightly different message coming through today through this card and that is: it is time to trust and have faith.
Have faith in that which you believe in, and that which you know is looking out for you. Have faith that everything will work out for your highest good. This card is representing to me that we could be experiencing certain tests or challenges, but these tribulations will ultimately help us heal and grow as soulful beings.
I think that is the message from this card for today.
I would love to hear what you get from this card, so please leave a comment! =D
I hope this is helpful!
