October 2007
October 23 – the Sun moves into Scorpio. When the Sun is in Scorpio, the planet of mystery and the unknown, the sun illuminates the darkness in our lifes and we are able to shed light on things unknown to us, and unravel the mystery. The 8th house, natural home of Scorpio, rules money belonging to others, financial loans, investments, assets of others, so this is a good time to evaluate how these structures fit into your life and make changes.
October 23-24 - the Sun and Mercury will be conjunct. The Sun will shed light on the communication confusion of the Mercury Retrograde, Start to take note of how this retrograde period is affecting you, communications and commitments which have been muddled, and time now to start to rectify the situation. Start to take action. Mercury will now be moving out of Scorpio and back into Libra, so this will be an opportunity for negotiations to take place with the balancing of Libra energies.
October 25 – Venus will oppose Uranus. Venus is a much faster planet than Uranus, so this energy will fade quickly. Venus, planet of values, money, art, in opposition to Uranus, planet of uncertainty, quick change, unusual happenings – Don’t make rash quick decisions about your valuables, or finances right now.
October 25-26 - There will be a Taurus Full Moon. Full Moons can relate to the masses of people, and to our feelings/emotions.

Spend time enjoying your senses.
October 26 – Pluto and Mercury will be sextile (easy going). Even with the sextile, this can be time of mental intensity, but can also be a time of thought-probing ideas. You may easily come up with new alternatives as you explore old ideas/concepts and find new solutions. Don’t be afraid to try something new.
October 29 – Venus now makes a square to Jupiter and an inconjunct to Neptune. Your values can be stressed by both of these hits to it. Don’t jump to conclusions and expand right now.

planets dance and they don’t need any extra energy infused here.

be racing.
