OCTOBER 2023 PLANETARY REPORT

A lot is going on in October, so let’s cover some of the main points, and then at the end of the monthly planetary report, l will do a direct reading on the main areas of life to focus on for each sign. l will also put the time codes in, and you will be able to go straight to your sign.

Early in the month, Mercury makes his move from Virgo, one of the signs he rules, into Libra, and in this position, Mercury the thinking planet, helps you get organized, so you look at the pros and cons, which is very much the cassettes the Libra energy. However, you also want to trust your instincts because if you stay in that planning, thinking, and organizing state for too long, then it can lead to procrastination and feeling stuck.

On the eighth/ ninth, a square between Mars and Pluto can be pretty heavy-duty, with Pluto in Capricorn, and Mars in Libra, both cardinal signs, so don’t be too quick to move forward with action unless you are sure....

Welcome to the week in the stars for October 2nd. Firstly, l will go through the planetary report, the movement, and how the planets are interacting, and then I’ll do the individual Sun Sign reports. Don’t worry, you won’t have to listen to all the signs unless you want to of course, but l will put the time codes in so you can just go to your sign. 

The week starts off with an opposition between Mercury, the planet of communication, education, and creativity, which is opposite Neptune, also very creative inspirational energy, imaginative, and intuitive. As Neptune is in Pisces, the sign it rules, and Mercury in Virgo, also one of the signs Mercury rules, this can spark a great deal of imagination, new ideas, and concepts.  

There's a strong influence to be analytical and intuitive with this planetary interaction. As Virgo is analytical and Pisces highly instinctual, once you get your ideas and concepts laid down into some type of working format, then you...

Welcome to week September 25, right at the start of the week, we have a Trine astral aspect between Mercury and Jupiter. This is powerful for communications. Firstly, the Trine aspect is an easygoing energy, a path of least resistance and of allowing, and in this case, with Jupiter in Taurus and Mercury in Virgo, this is an earth trine, which is great for getting your aspirations set into planning, and ready to follow through with action.  

Later in the week, when Venus squares with Uranus, it’s a message to stay firm on your beliefs and push forward, and if something comes out of the blue to distract you, pay attention and ask yourself, is this an interruption to my plans that is needed, or is it something to push aside so you don’t get distracted.  

At the same time, later in the week. The full Moon in Aries can cause us all to be impulsive. However, the other side of this energy in Aries, which is a sign ruled by Mars, and as Mars is presently opposite...

This is a very light week with astrological aspects between the planets, and of course, there’s always movement with the Moon as it transits through the zodiac quickly spending just a few days in each sign.

The great news for this week is that Mercury, the planet of communication, education, and creativity, is now out of retrograde, Yay! So, it’s all systems go, and if you’ve been doing a lot of back work behind the scenes, getting things organized, or doing research or production over these last three weeks, then has been an excellent way to spend Mercury retrograde, and now it’s time to put things into action. And as Mercury is in Virgo, one of the signs it rules, then it is very much about the attention to detail. If you’re not a detail person, it’s a good idea to engage somebody in your camp or find a talented proofreader and organizer who just loves to do all the back office type work and get them to look over anything before you take it...

Welcome to the week of September 11, that’s a date that none of us will ever forget for sure, so I’d like to start by sending a special prayer for those everywhere around the world who were affected by the 9/11 attack in the USA, all my love and best wishes go to you on this day and every day. 

OK, so this week there is a lot of planetary activity happening towards the end of the week. On the 14th, we have the new Moon for September, which means the Sun and the Moon are conjunct, together at the same degree, and this month's new Moon is in the sign of Virgo, so it’s a message for us to balance between the intuitive and the logical.  

Virgo likes to, and is very good at delving into, the details, and really making sure that nothing falls through the cracks, so it is very logical energy and the Moon is emotional. This concentration on how things are coming together can get quite intense, plus Virgo, and all the earth signs, like to worry, especially when...

Welcome to the week of September 4, 2023,  

From the start of this week, Sunday the third, Venus, the planet of love, and money, will finally come out of its retrograde transit. Although it is still in Leo and has very abundant energy, this is good news for anybody who is looking for love or money, or to upscale their life, so that's pretty well all of us, right?!  

At the same time, on the fourth, Mercury, the planet of communication, education, and creativity, which is now in retrograde will Trine with Jupiter. The Trine aspect is a soft and easy-going energy formation, and it highlights a path of least resistance and an allowing type of energy. However, you need to get out of your own way to allow the energy to come in, which means keeping your vibrational energy high, happy, and positive.  

Be mindful though, that the energy will change as Jupiter enters its retrograde transit, also on the fourth, and as this is all happening at once, insights can come through...

MERCURY RETROGRADE AUG / SEPT 2023
BY Jennifer Angel

Is it Magic or Mayhem? 

Here’s how to use the energy to your best advantage.

Communication planet Mercury, known as the thinking planet of intellect, can affect the way you think, communicate, and relate. It’s known as the celestial messenger of the gods and is, as a rule, retrograde three times a year for around three weeks each time and can cause all sorts of magic and mayhem! During the retrograde transit, Mercury appears to move backward through the zodiac. It's a visual illusion -- Mercury passes between the Earth and the Sun, creating a deceptive rather than actual effect.

During a retrograde period, all sorts of confusion and uncertainty can take place. It is wise to double-check the fine print of any file you submit, especially if it has your name attached to it. And don’t be in too much of a hurry to push things through. If possible, delay signing official documents until after Mercury comes out of...

Welcome to the week of August 28. There is not a great deal of planetary aspects and interaction happening this week, and really the main transit is that Mercury is retrograde, yes it’s that time again!

I have completed a full Mercury Retrograde report, which covers all the transits; Stationary Retrograde, Stationary Direct, the Shadow and the Storm, all the dates, and the whole explanation about that. Also, I’ve covered how each individual sign relates to a Mercury retrograde, and how this Mercury retrograde in Virgo will affect each sign, so go check out that report.

Other than that, right at the beginning of this week, Mars, the planet of motivation action, passion, and excitement, will make its transit from the sign of Virgo into Libra. No, it’s not too comfortable here because the energies are different in a way that Mars' energy is impulsive, and Libra likes to think things through with the pros and cons and not make a move one way or another until they feel...

Welcome to the week of August 21 in the astrological world. This is a very busy week. There’s lots going on, different planetary aspects, with an abundance of planets interacting with each other.  

So let’s get started and see what’s going on, however, before we delve in, I want to remind you that this is a Sun Sign report, and after the planetary report, I will be going through all of the individual signs. The sun sign report is very valuable to tune in to what’s coming up, but the real secret sauce and magic are in your personal birth chart. If you have never had a chart reading before, then, it’s an amazing and enlightening experience, which teaches you more about who you are, and gives you permission to accept yourself, every bit of yourself with no apologies, and this is one of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves. 

OK, so first of all this week, Venus and Jupiter are a square aspect, traditionally challenging, however, when...

Welcome to the week of August 14th. Let's see what is happening in the Astro chart for this week. Midweek, on the 16th, we have a new Moon, which means the Sun and the Moon are conjunct, at the exact degree in the same sign, which is the sign of Leo.  

This is a great new Moon for everyone and not just for Leo, as it is a message for all of us to stand up for ourselves, show up for ourselves, and first of all do what is right for us, and only then can we be there for others. So, use energy to work on your self-worth, knowing that we are always learning and mostly we learn from relationships, and that can mean the relationship we have with ourselves, our inner self, and of course, with others. 

At the same time, the Sun will square Uranus, and yes, a square is traditionally challenging. The Sun is in the sign of Leo, and Uranus is in Taurus, and as these are fixed signs, the lessons presented with this astral aspect is to have patience, and then to put yourself in the other...
