Image: Called the NEBRA sky disk, it’s the oldest concrete depiction of astrological phenomena 1800-1600 BC - early Bronze age - Made of bronze and gold. Found near Nebra, Germany in 1999. The cluster of dots, upper right may represent the Pleiades. Unesco says it is "One of the most important archaeological finds of the twentieth century."

Quote of Note: “Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.” – Don Miguel Ruiz
**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. 10/2/24 – Solar Eclipse New Moon 10 Libra @ 2:49PM EDT. – Rosh Hashana Begins! –
A “ring of fire” Annular eclipse not visible in the USA, except for Hawaii. This eclipse is companion to the Partial Lunar Eclipse of 9/17/24. They belong to the same family of eclipses or Saros Series. All eclipses belong to families, and they travel from one pole of the earth to the other in their approximately 1200-year journey from beginning to end. This one is Saros Series 8 South (having begun at the South Pole on 4/1/1718) – fairly new in its cycle of 1200+ years. – This Saros Series is aggressive, assertive, or progressive. It can bring separations and endings or injury from overstraining. These eclipses require consequential decisions and women’s issues are particularly highlighted. We’re asked to commit to the values we hold dear and support a vision for the future that brings balance and equality to any group that is marginalized. More from my previous eclipse article here.
2. 10/4/24 – Venus in fixed, water Scorpio trine SaturnRx in mutable, water Pisces @ 14deg. – Venus in Scorpio is concentrated emotional power & intensity with great energies for transformation. Its connection with Saturn allows it to manage and focus its emotional desire nature and direct it toward a worthy goal (hopefully). Saturn provides specific sensitivity and nuance towards using strong reactive energies wisely. Saturn advises on the practical application of filtering what is unnecessary, extreme, false or damaging to your overall purpose. Persuasive and manipulative energies seek to dominate.
