If you’re feeling a little pummelled in the feels this week lovelies, take heart. As Venus, planet of love & harmony, & the Sun - our vitality, conscious awareness & spiritual growth - in Libra square Pluto, planet of death & rebirth in Capricorn today, the vibes are intense but the potential is alchemical.
With Venus on the far side of the Sun, feelings of disconnection & isolation may feel bigger than usual as we traverse the wastelands of old relationship patterns, old traumas, old expressions of self-worth & old forms of material identity. It’s a time to tend to inner sensitivities with tenderness & compassion & to remember that we also find access to power and rejuvenation in this realm. Plutonic eruptions may lay waste to the dodgy structures in our lives, which are ill-equipped to resource our current needs, but they also thrust diamonds to the surface from deep within the molten lithosphere. This week’s astrology is rich ground for fossicking & the jewels of insight we discover both empower our transformations & enrich the quality of our relationships.
Both malefics are close to Earth at the moment - Saturn stations direct on Sunday & Mars stations retrograde on October 31 - which could potentially intensify feelings of hopelessness, exhaustion, melancholy, anxiety, anger & reactivity but it’s worth remembering that the malefics actually work extremely well in concert, bringing drive & determination to the materialisation of passionate ideas, & more so as they move towards an expansive & optimistic cooperation on November 29.
Mercury, planet of communication, also opposes Chiron today, the asteroid associated with wounds that lead us to mastery, suggesting an opportunity to communicate insights about triggering situations in ways that allow us to heal, release, share & integrate their wisdom. Both planets are quincunx the Nodes, an aspect that can point to dilemmas that exist more in our minds than in objective reality, which is also good to remember. Humour & creativity are the ideal tools for working with these kinds of riddles.
Tuesday’s Solar Eclipse in Scorpio holds a powerful signature of death & rebirth, which make the coming days powerful for considering what we’re truly ready to release & bury with a sense of sacredness & reverence, & what precious jewels of possibility we want to bring forth in their place. They too will require polishing with awe & careful devotion.
