The Moon enters her exaltation in Taurus on the 7th. There she is an esteemed guest at the Venusian table, but Venus is far from her temple, comfort and love may be hard to find. In her detriment in the temple of Mars and burning under the beams of the Sun, the solar king is doling out lessons to Venus that are harsh but insightful. She listens, but pleads as they prepare for full opposition. Venus really hates taking sides,  but Mars loves the drama. And drama may have been felt with Venus and Uranus just in opposition. Sudden tension between doing what is expected and what you secretly want. Lines had been drawn. You tell yourself, “No more!”

The battle has begun, the scent of further approaching aggravation is pungent in the air. On the 8th of November, it will all begin to be revealed as the Full Moon ramps into a full-on Blood Moon eclipse in Taurus that morning. But there is a story that involves not just the Sun, Moon or Venus.

The Moon is moving into an opposition with Mercury while the Sun and Moon do there own dance, perhaps she is seeing if she can talk herself down or out of what she desires and started, or maybe trying to cover up her tracks of where she has been. Mercury can only keep it under wraps for so long, for he is about to hit the point of his own full illumination with the Sun under the auspicious cazimi. Whatever the Moon and Venus are feeling and/or hiding, this point of bright illumination may reveal the clues to this mystery, and Mercury is the trickster detective hot on the emotional trail. You find compromise and love within yourself. The shadow is not that scary, maybe even exciting to embrace.

This dance with Mercury is a two-step with a Lunar Eclipse encore, all the stage lights are shining red now. Sudden revelations may come to light as the Moon and Uranus send a lighting strike conjunction less than two hours later. Uranus can throw a rock at your glass house, but will provide zero help in cleaning the debris. It is Saturn who meets the moon through opposition by mid-day and starts sweeping up the glass and asking the hard questions, how are you moving ahead now that it is all oN the table? Are your deep desires no longer able to stay in the Scorpion well? The Moon and Venus this same day will have their own tete a tete, “What is it that you truly desire? What is it that you just cannot have? Not quite yet?” “How are you not being true to yourself?” “Where in your life is more damage constantly being done, and now needs to be released?”

Let us retrace the last 14 days since the New Moon phase began. The super charged New Moon cycle began as a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio, what was it you were craving to see materialize? During the First Quarter Moon that began in Aquarius, were you adding actual clay and material to this vision? Did you have to admit or omit anything? This Full Moon that is coming through in the form of a lunar eclipse, will have revealing evidence for the next 5-6 months. The story doesn’t end here. Eclipse seasons come with heavy potent energy, it unfolds like fog that eventually burns off into a clear crisp sky.

The lunar queen is given a respite with a day off of the harder aspects while she finds her feet in Gemini, Saturn provides a container through a gentle aspect, perhaps he can only go to war with one luminary at a time. This exact moment the Sun and Saturn are squaring off, this is re-triggering the ongoing Saturn-Uranus square aspect we all have been experiencing for the last two years. This is an aspect about a complete re-write to those elements of life that are completely outdated and in need of a serious upgrade. This is an epic tale you have been penning for the last two years.

This week is heavy, there are two no ways about it. This is an ongoing narrative in all of our lives have been speaking in one way or another. It is always chart dependent, but I can guarantee each one of our lives, whether it has been a silent film or a read-out-loud, we all could write a book on our last two years. I do think this novella is beginning to wrap up and close out with some final take aways. It is this week that begins to reveal all the rough cut diamonds in the pressurized lessons that have been bearing down. 

We are now at the point in the story where we have to set the jewels in a new ring band that we are contracting with. If we commit, are we happy with the setting? No exceptions this time, you ask for it all. We will not repeat the same mistake twice.

Before the Moon can truly find a home in her temple of Cancer, she will run the gauntlet of squaring Neptune, joining Mars, and facing up to Jupiter’s cross-examination. Are your dreams reality? Do you have the passion and the action it takes to run with them?

And then she rests in her watery temple by the evening of the 12th, making harmonious and expansive aspects through the 13th, she begins to slumber and dream as her own light wanes before  a reunion with Pluto once again early Monday morning. He will demand the game plan for personal regeneration, use the 13th for designing your own mystical blue print for the road ahead.
