This weekend delivers more super-charged astrological events, and those of us with planets between 17 and 22 degrees in any of the Cardinal signs are more likely to feel both the intensity and the opportunities. The most challenging of these aspects are counterbalanced by some exceptionally supportive ones and if we can make use of them in combination they promise significant growth.
On Saturday October 10 a Grand Cross in the Cardinal signs presents powerful opportunities to continue our progress in relation to some of the more challenging issues we’ve been dealing with to date. Cardinal energy leads us into new cyclical territory and this week’s events could signal a shift in existing dynamics. There’s considerable tension being exerted here but if we can sit with it quietly for long enough it should motivate powerful, transformative action.
As the Sun in Libra opposes Mars in Aries the tensions that exist in relationship dynamics are further illuminated. Mars will remain in inferior opposition to the Sun for most of October and in this reactive retrograding state we’re advised to choose our battles wisely and to focus flammable energy into the goals that really matter to us most. Though the moon is in her rulership in Cancer, she directly opposes the patriarchal heavyweights in Capricorn and this could trigger emotional security issues and defensiveness. Seek out a safe and cosy space to retreat when things feel overwhelming.
The influence of a Grand Water Trine provides excellent support by encouraging deep feeling and reflection, creativity and spiritual insight. Mercury in Scorpio encourages us to look beneath the surface of frictions for hidden messages while Neptune in Pisces emphasises the mystical, visionary potential of listening in, and the moon in Cancer promotes depth of feeling, home comforts and bonding with those we care about most.
On Sunday October 11 the Sun squares Jupiter in Capricorn. We’re cautioned against taking too much on and/or letting our egos get the better of us but we could also feel pushed to take a risk in an area we’ve been afraid to venture and find that it increases our confidence to pursue an exciting course of action. Creative activities are especially favoured here and further supported by another Grand Trine in Earth, which lasts until October 17 increasing the possibility of outside support for such developments. Venus in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus, and Jupiter/Pluto/Saturn in Capricorn indicate unexpected creative innovations that improve our quality of life into the future especially if we plumb the hidden depths of our psyches for inspiration.
The moon in Leo squares Mars in Aries and opposes the Capricorn planets to form a T-Square on Sunday as well. Self-expression, creativity and intuition are once again emphasised as beneficial outlets to channel tensions resulting from the simultaneous desire and inability to take action due to circumstances beyond our control. The extra benefit of these challenges we’re encountering is that we’re more likely to take advantage of the less intense but more beneficial opportunities when they present. Grand Trines signify such easy flow of energies that we’re often too lazy to even bother harnessing them. Under the pressure of these more challenging influences we’re more likely to make use of the talent and opportunity they represent because doing so will also bring us relief 🌟🌞🌓🌏
