Astro Weather Forecast - Issue #6: Weekly Forecast for October 25th, 2021

Welcome everyone to the 6th Week of the Astro Weather Forecast. We’re the first week out of the Mercury Retrograde, leaving Libra Season in the #PAST and moving onto the first few days of the Sun in Scorpio. In many ways, this week is important because the Sun’s ingress into Scorpio starts to activate the Saturn/Uranus square that has been going on for the majority of the year, and is getting it’s final activation after Saturn’s Retrograde Cycle this last week of October and going into November. This square is something that is building throughout the entire week and goes exact on Saturday. The Saturn Uranus square has been this longer plotline that has been changing the structures with how we engage with other people in a communal or group setting, and revolutionizing the values we have on materiality, the environment, labor, work, and quite literally defying the status quo. This is the Taurus/Aquarius axis right here, highlighting what structures we need to change and break ourselves out of to allow for more innovation and change to take place. You might be seeing some structural changes in the house Aquarius rules in your chart, and a push towards innovation and reinvention in the House that Taurus rules in your chart. Now that the Sun is in Scorpio, it’s activating this need to change what is stagnant and stale with innovation become motivated by desire, fueled by passion, and ignited by hunger. This week is an opportunity to identify what obstacles are blocking you from being able to make the changes necessary as the Sun applies to this square with Saturn. It’s the theme building up for the entire week!

Happy Monday Everyone
Monday Oct 25th
(1:33 AM ET) Moon in Gemini trine Jupiter at 22º24’ Aquarius
(10:10 AM ET) Moon in Gemini trine Mars at 26º38’ Libra
VOID MOON: 10:10 AM ET to 5:00 PM ET
(5:00 PM ET) INGRESS: Moon enters Cancer
(10:54 PM ET) Moon in Cancer trine Sun at 2º54’ Scorpio
As we go into Monday though, we start off with the Moon in Gemini, from Sunday’s ingress, to make it’s final applications towards Jupiter and Mars. It’s kind of interesting because as Mars gets closer and closer to the end of Libra, which is also another theme building for the week as Mars’ ingress into Scorpio happens on Saturday, along with the Sun/Saturn square, it means that the happy optimism Jupiter brings, now comes with action and planning for what to do next. Mars in Libra is now preparing as it starts to get ready to move into Scorpio for eliminating obstacles out of it’s path. Mars is gaining in strength and in dignity as well, not only because it is moving towards it’s domicile in Scorpio, but because it is a Morning Star and is emerging from the Sun’s beams, which is seen to be symbolic of something being reborn or birthed from the eternal giving Sun. The Moon making a trine to Jupiter and then to Mars gives us mental strategy and optimism to think bigger, think about the future, and to also consider the consequences of our decisions. As the Moon enters Cancer, it comes to make it’s closing trine to the Sun in Scorpio, at the end of the day, we become more acutely aware as to what it is we desire, and whether our actions and thoughts are motivated by our hunger. What does fulfillment look like? The question of what we have been deprived of, and what we must restore comes up with this trine, and we start to think about what seeds to plant towards the future for the New Moon in Scorpio.
Tuesday Oct 26th
(7:37 PM ET) Moon in Cancer sextile Uranus at 13º09’ Taurus
(9:06 PM ET) Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune at 20º44’ Pisces
Tuesday is a confusing day, to be quite honest. Venus enters a square with Neptune, something that has been building since Venus entered Sagittarius, and there has been this theme about exploring relationships, and what faith or honesty they are built off of? The idea of trust, misplaced trust, and deception comes up with Venus square Neptune and there is the potential to be let down and disillusioned from some relationship with another person. In Sagittarius, Venus places their trust and faith in the goodness of others, in hopes that will be returned. When that gets taken advantage of, this questioning of the purpose of a friendship or a relationship becomes prominent. Allow yourself to sit with the confusion and give time for it to pass. Tuesday is the last Tuesday that Mars is in Libra, so this day is meant to be confusing. It’s a day to come to a lot of realizations about the faith you have in other people.
Wednesday Oct 27th
(1:09 AM ET) Moon in Cancer square Mercury at 15º54’ Libra
(10:47 AM ET) Moon in Cancer trine Neptune at 20º44’ Pisces
(6:07 PM ET) Moon in Cancer opposite Pluto at 24º25’ Capricorn
Once we move into Wednesday, we get the Moon crossing over to a square to Mercury in Libra, which is a highlight and an opportunity to move towards the process of resolving whatever the Mercury Retrograde was about, now that Mercury is in the process of moving direct again. I think a lot of the relationship between Cancer and Libra has a lot to do with attachment and relationships, and how do we hold space and compassion for the hurt and pain others may feel with the Moon in Cancer, and explore all sides and all perspectives with Mercury now Direct in Libra? The Moon and Mercury highlights themes of messages, messengers, communications, and delivery. Maybe getting some challenging news to how we feel, seeing the other side of how others are hurt. Be sensitive and compassionate towards others perspectives while remaining firm in your own feelings and emotions.
Thursday Oct 28th
(2:01 AM ET) Moon in Cancer square Mars at 28º25’ Libra
VOID MOON: 2:01 AM to 5:07 AM ET
(5:07 AM ET) INGRESS: Moon enters Leo
(3:15 PM ET) Venus in Sagittarius sextile Jupiter at 22º30’ Aquarius
(4:05 PM ET) Moon in Leo square Sun at 5º37’ Scorpio
(7:02 PM ET) Moon in Leo opposite Saturn at 7º08’ Aquarius
Shifting into Thursday, we get the Moon, after separating from Mercury, Neptune, and Pluto, now applying to a square to Mars in Libra, which is probably going to be the last aspect that Mars is making or receiving before it leaves Libra. When I see Moon/Mars stuff come up in charts there is this need to fight for one’s safety and security, as well as feeling combative, and this sense of urgency to contest the convention of comfortability. Things do start off a little tense, but then the Moon goes Void, entering Leo early in the morning, and then on Jupiter’s Day, Jupiter receives a nice sextile from Venus in Sagittarius, after making it out of the square from Neptune, there is now a little clarity, a little optimism, and things seem less confusing to overcome with the relationships we have with other people. However, we may need to make some important choices and decisions, as the Moon in Leo does start to pass over this Sun/Saturn square in Scorpio and Aquarius. It makes me think of telling authority “No.” The Sun square Saturn is a contest of power and authority, and the Moon in Leo activating this square, and forming an opposition to Saturn, brings in these themes of rejection as a result of choice. On one hand, the Venus/Jupiter sextile brings some optimism to form alliances and collaboration with others, with that, comes the clash of egos. This tension that is highlighted today can be something that is lingering until the actual square goes exact on Saturday.
Friday Oct 29th
(6:24 AM) Moon in Leo square Uranus at 13º03’ Taurus
(6:31 PM) Moon in Leo sextile Mercury at 19º26’ Libra
Friday is probably the most chill day of the week, the Moon only applying to a square with Uranus and a sextile to Mercury, take some time to relax this day if possible. The Mercury Moon sextile gives us an opportunity to express ourselves fairly, honestly, and authentically without being judged for doing so.
Saturday Oct 30th
(12:23 AM ET) Moon in Leo opposite Jupiter at 22º34’ Aquarius
(3:04 AM ET) Moon in Leo trine Venus at 24º00’ Sagittarius
VOID MOON: 3:04 AM ET to 2:09 PM ET
(5:53 AM ET) Sun in Scorpio square Saturn at 7º11’ Aquarius
(10:21 AM ET) INGRESS: Mars enters Scorpio
(2:09 PM ET) INGRESS: Moon enters Virgo
(2:21 PM ET) Moon in Virgo sextile Mars at 0º06’ Scorpio
Now Saturday is where we get ALL the action. Any of that tension that has been highlighted as a result of the Moon passing through Leo gets somewhat of an optimistic recovery as the Moon makes an opposition to Jupiter, and then a trine over to Venus. These final aspects are made right as the Sun approaches towards a square to Saturn. If there is anything in the Astro Weather that SCREAMS releasing tension, it would be this transits right here. The Moon in Leo applying to a trine to Venus in Sagittarius gives us the ability to make bold decisions, to leap forward, and make bold decisions and bold choices as well. However the Moon will be going Void right as the Sun/Saturn square goes exact, and then Mars enters the party with its ingress into Scorpio, its domicile. This definitely turns the tides of the battle or tension going on in the Scorpio and Aquarius parts of your chart, because now the Sun has backup to quite literally overthrow Saturn, since Mars and the Sun are in the 10th Sign from Saturn. There is less restriction or hesitation coming from the two planets of willpower, as the dynamic has shifted over into Mars now being in the sign of its dignity with an equal match in dignity to Saturn, but in the overcoming position, and actually gaining strength by being a Morning star, emerging from the Sun’s Beams since the Cazimin on October 7th, meanwhile Saturn is still in Aquarius, freshly stationed Direct, in the inferior position to Mars and the Sun, and is in the process of the Solar Phase Cycle where it is decaying or dying, since the Sun’s Beams are moving towards Saturn, which will perfect in the Cazimi by February 4th, 2022. Saturn is in a state of decay while Mars is in a state of strength. Especially in that first 6º of Scorpio, Mars is the absolute strongest it can be in any of the 360º of the Zodiac. The Sun has just received it’s backup for the Fixed Sign Boxing Match that is about to go down. Not only that, but the Moon enters Virgo and joins the party by applying to a sextile to Mars only a few hours after it’s ingress. This Moon applying towards Mars and the Sun gives us support to be able to understand a plan of action or strategy that is needed to execute something. This execution of a plan of action does not come through this week though. We see this next week with the New Moon in Scorpio, and the other aspects building throughout the week, but this application the Moon makes is very important for highlighting the force that Mars is bringing as it ingresses into Scorpio. Mars in Scorpio not only highlights the power struggles going on between Saturn, Uranus, and the Sun, but exacerbates the tension through action and motion, things Mars is great it. I will be honest with everyone and say that the Mars in Scorpio transit might not be the easiest transit for the next 6 weeks, as Mars does run into a lot of obstacles in it’s domicile this time around. One interesting aspect of this Mars in Scorpio transits that I cannot stop THINKING about thanks to Ursula, is that Mars in Scorpio is applying to a faux sextile to Venus, but before the sextile can even go exact, Venus stations Retrograde. Which is interesting, there may be this opportunity for support or collaboration with Venus, but there is this element of being lead on or something not following through with the efforts that are made, because Venus goes Retrograde. This aspect is called a refrenation. It’s interesting because Mars and Venus have the roles reversed for this Mars in Scorpio transits. Mars is moving faster than Venus, when typically Venus is the faster moving planet, but because Mars is a morning star and starting it’s Solar Phase cycle, while Venus has been in the process of becoming an Evening Star since its Cazimi with the Sun on March 26th, 2021, and is in the state of decay, Venus is moving slower than Mars and doesn’t gain enough speed to aspect Mars and have this energy go anywhere. One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give folks for this to be mindful of where you’re exerting and placing your energy, because this refrenation has the ability to make us feel deceived (in the end) that we can keep up with some sort of project or collaboration Venus will be working on while in Capricorn. More on this next week with Venus’ ingress.
Ursula Rising, astrologer, BLM; Books open!
I will not be making Mars in Scorpio talismans this year and I recommend you don’t either. There’s a rare affliction called refranation which is when two planets apply to an aspect but one of them goes retrograde before the aspect completes, and in planetary magic it’s Very Bad
Conclusion
It is a very interesting week ahead of us everyone. To gain further understanding of what all these transits mean for you, check to see what houses Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius, and Taurus rule in your chart, and then go through some of your delineations and understandings of what these houses represent in your chart, and there you will have the themes and topics you can expect for the week and even plotlines building outside of the week!
