Happy month of romantic October Libra time! Just got back from my daughter’s beautiful wedding in Brooklyn. There was a mist happening but we did not let it stop the outdoor cozy ceremony with a wonderful rabbi. Their ceremony was meaningful and sacred. The rest of the activities took place inside this cozy vintage bar in Brooklyn with jazz, candles, food, wine and laughter. Great time for all! So happy for them.
Anyways onward to a new month and new possibilities! Libra month always brings social activity, new relationships and a time for increased collaborations. Look at the areas of your life where you feel there is no reciprocity, balance or fairness. In relationships, you have to make new negotiations within your partnership that better serve the two of you. The scales are weighing your interactions to see if they are win/win. Maybe in the past, you were always the initiator in your friendships and making plans. That may no longer feel good. We all deserve to be invited as well as be the inviter.
Jupiter will turn retrograde on October 9th until February 5, 2025.
Jupiter has been direct all year in Taurus and Gemini. It has given us the impression that new things were possible and it is time to expand our options. Upleveling in many areas of our lives such as career, creativity, travel and relationships to name a few. Jupiter is the teacher of abundance, positivity, expansion, knowledge and opening up to your potential. When it turns retrograde for the next 4 months, this is a time to integrate and prepare for the next expansive phase next year. Maybe you overdid it or maybe you had all the ideas but got scattered. Now it is time to synthesize the shifts and bring the changes into your soul.
Pluto in Capricorn turns Direct on October 12th until November 19th for the final spin.
Now it is time to tie up loose ends, clear out old timelines & goals and make way for living outside the box. Good time to reflect on what has shifted in your life since May 2nd when the retrograde began in Aquarius. This passage of time has been a very important one in regards to clearing old karma, patterns and finally letting go. In my workshop October 27th, we will incorporate this final stint in Capricorn with ritual and powerful intentional work. Get ready to finally say yes to your purpose and not hide anymore. Sign ups are happening now- registration is for 15 people max.
PLUTO IN AQUARIUS January 2024 - 2044
The last time Pluto visited Aquarius was 1778- 1798. Some important events were the American Revolutionary War, Treaty of Alliance and Treaty of Amity and Commerce signed by the US and France, the Constitution and the US Post Office established. We are looking at transformation on a global level where the world will be radically different in 20 years. Aquarius is about the higher collective, progressive societies, enhanced technological discoveries, bridging different cultures together to create a brotherhood of the planet. If you look at what was weird or fringe 40 years ago, it is now mainstream. We are upgrading the operating system to what was impossible before, and will now appear to be very probable. We are talking about galactic visitations, a new world created as a community where healing, higher intelligence and love are the key motivators. This energy will ask each of us personally to transform our attitudes towards society, contribute a little bit more to making it a sacred place and being authentically you! This will be a very powerful time for the planet to transform out of the old paradigms to birth a new society.
Uranus in Taurus until May 2026
Uranus is the planet of revolution, change, awakening, sudden intuitive hits, and innovation. The way in which change will take place will be on a very different vibration. Taurus is one sign that does not like change. It wants comfort, security and money in the bank. Uranus will rebel in the world of money, fashion, business, beauty and security. How we view our own security can change directions. Uranus wants to be free from being tied down. We will find unique ways to create businesses, new trends with fashion, less conservative tastes, more color in homes and unique housing villages getting launched. This seven year phase will get the ball moving with intentional housing communities for the baby boomer generation. Good time to create your own trend and not follow others. Let your unique artistic style stand out. The energy we experience in a Uranian transit, can affect our bodies with lots of nervous energy, anxiety, insomnia and a feeling of being in a blender. Clearing out our inner clutter will open up new territories that have not been discovered before. It is important to ground yourself during these times with yoga, hikes and psychic protection techniques. During the Uranus Retrograde, expect the unexpected as far as old triggers emerging, old friends reappearing, sudden shifts in perspective and an unsettling feeling that there are new things on the horizon but the timing ain’t yet!
SATURN IN PISCES March 7, 2023 - May 25, 2025
The last time Saturn visited Pisces was 1994 - 1996. If you look back in history a Saturn cycle returns every 29-30 years. So the kids born during the last visit, will now be going through their Saturn return for the next 2 years ( That includes my daughter Heather). Saturn is the planet that rules commitments, rules, patience, work, career, limits, shoulds, mastery and responsibility. Pisces rules the sea, imagination, creativity, spirituality, compassion, empathy and being of service. When you put these two together you may feel they would have a strange relationship. How do you put a fence around the ocean? We are looking at a time of dissolving old structures, belief systems, religious upbringing, timelines and illusions. Saturn in Pisces will be teaching us to have faith, believe in what you cannot see, trust your intuition, clear trauma, heal wounding and bring in more magic! Saturn in Pisces is the end of a cycle which encourages unloading of old emotional baggage including ancestral lineage. Good time for committing to being of service in a bigger way, studying intuitive arts, psychology, dreams, creativity and opening the heart to living life compassionately.
NEW MOON IN LIBRA Solar Eclipse oppose South Aries Rosh Hashanah OCTOBER 2nd 11:49 AM 10 degrees
This new moon in cardinal air sign Libra, brings relationships to the forefront. This is a powerful eclipse of a new moon opposing the south node in Aries. Good time for clearing out karmic patterns of subservience, overgiving, guilt about receiving and devaluing self-needs. You deserve to receive all the love in the world without explanation, proof, settling or dimming your light. Write down all the relationship patterns that have occupied your soul but no longer serve your growth, then burn it. Light pink candles for love and self-love. Activate the love corner with 2 crystal hearts, your candles, and an intention for love. If you want to magnetize someone special into your life, this new moon has the power to pack a punch. This is major letting go of the past! South Node in Aries can bring up all the time you pushed your needs aside in order to get approval or to be liked. Take this opportunity for lightness, romance, beauty and pleasure Rosh Hashanah is the jewish new year and a time of celebration- make a wish for peace!
FULL MOON IN ARIES OCTOBER 17th 4:26 AM 24 degrees
A very powerful full moon in Aries with the goddess warriors! Aries represents what I want, Libra represents what we want. Aries is RED and Libra is pastels. This is a time when egos can flare and everybody wants what they want. Aries says go for it, ACT, do something that scares you. Where in your life can you take a challenge into a territory that scares you? Depending what house the full moon falls in will be the area in your life that needs JUICE! Libra wants to feel balanced and have peace. Not always possible. Try to do something physical with this energy. Take a hike, climb a mountain or make new plans that excite you.
MERCURY IN LIBRA UNTIL OCTOBER 13th
Mercury in Libra will be conjunct with the Sun/Moon/Solar Eclipse on October 2nd. Very powerful day for planting seeds for partnerships, collaborations, creative endeavors and business decisions. Mercury is the planet of communication, decisions, writing, talking, and the mind. Mercury is also the messenger. Libra is the sign ruled by Venus and is all about relationships in all its shapes and sizes. Libra wants equality, fairness, kindness, respect, beauty, aesthetic environments and intelligence. We are being asked to use this time to make clear decisions after weighing all the pros and cons. Libra is the judge and the mediator.
MERCURY IN SCORPIO OCTOBER 14TH - NOVEMBER 2nd
Mercury in Scorpio is the detective, the psychic and the psychologist. Always looking beneath the surface at what is actually going on. Mercury in Scorpio does not want to hear your excuses or your fluff. They want the bottomline truth. When you lie to a Mercury in Scorpio they will see right through you. They just don't tell you they see what you are not saying. Kamala and I have this placement. That’s why she is such a good prosecutor. Good time for counseling, getting finances in order, trusts and wills, and communicating your deep truths to your soul tribe. On a personal note as a Mercury in Scorpio person I am not interested in fake friends or those that cannot be authentic. Real is juicy and delicious - those are my tribe.

MARS IN CANCER SEPTEMBER 4TH - NOVEMBER 4TH
Mars, the planet of desire, visits sensitive, nurturing Cancer. Mars is all about how your energy is being expressed and what you want. Cancer is all about your home, family, emotions and needs. When these 2 come together, there can be frustrations and irritability. Mars in Cancer is not one who likes confrontation, so it is easier to sidestep like the crab. Issues can come up with family, real estate, and health issues with stomach/digestion. Mars can invigorate Cancer by slowly expressing emotional needs without an aggressive undertone. Good time to put energy into your home, buying real estate, finances, family growth and implementing boundaries.
SUN ENTERS SCORPIO OCTOBER 23
As we turn to the darker time of year, we focus on what is behind the mask. Scorpio is a deep water sign with passionate desires but they are not readily expressed. Remember Scorpio is a secretive sign and wants to find out what is going on with you but might keep their cards close to their chest. Until they trust you, they will not let you into their private chamber. Halloween is represented by all these costumes of the ways we might want to be seen or where we are afraid to be seen. Scorpio is about death and rebirth, dealing with the shadow and all the teachings that lie within. Good time for deep reflection, private time, healing and intimacy.
