Key October Phenomena: Pluto turns Stationary Direct and sits @ 27 deg. for the last time. It’s consequential because it ends (technically/mathematically) the USA Pluto return cycle at the same degree which only happens once every 248 yrs. But the rebuilding continues. We, as a country are at a pivotal turning point. Only a country ever experiences a Pluto return. We must decide whether we will continue to be a democracy. Do we believe in the principles of our Constitution written by the founders of our Republic or not? There are two eclipses this month: a Solar Eclipse on 10/14/23 followed 2 weeks later by a Lunar Eclipse. More below.
Quote of Note: “If it were to be asked, what is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a Republic? The answer would be, An inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws - the first growing out of the last… A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle, the sustaining energy of a free government.” – Alexander Hamilton
**A note about aspects. The following list gives you the day the aspect is mathematically exact, but effects are often felt a day before or a day after. With very strong aspects, such as Stations or Eclipses, we may see events several days before exactitude and later when other planets re-trigger those marker degrees. Aspects affect you personally the most if they connect closely to planets or points in your chart. Contact your astrologer for personal interpretations.
1. 10/2/23 – Mercury in mutable, earth Virgo opposite NeptuneRx in mutable water Pisces @ 25deg. – All during Mercury’s recent retrograde in Virgo it’s been trying to catch up to Neptune but has not succeeded until now. This is a process of disintegration and reassimilating. First though, sorting must happen. Use the considerable discriminatory skills of Virgo to separate the wheat from the chaff and to recognize falsity or situations that are not founded in fact. Words of compassion are always welcome, balance those with practical applications.
