Welcome to today's Full Moon, culminating at 12:45pm; we could be in for a bumpy ride! It's an interesting time, with the Sun in Scorpio, conjunct retrograde Venus and the Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus. There's a strong Venusian theme underlying this month (see sidebar) and now the Full Moon is highlighting financial themes, with an opposition to Scorpio. Undercurrents... power... where are the shake-ups occurring?!
Why is this even more volatile than a normal Moon conjunct Uranus? Because the Sun in Scorpio, Moon and Uranus in Taurus, are exactly squaring the Nodes of the Moon in the other two Fixed signs, Leo and Aquarius!! That's a kind of destiny point that we'll be talking about for some time. The Moon rules the ebb and flow of emotions and a Full Moon in earthy Taurus shows the tide rising and falling with regard to our resources and financial picture.
This would be a good time to tighten our belts and avoid taking on more debt. Being realistic and adopting a wait-and-see attitude toward any new investments is crucial now. Expecting shake-ups in the world markets, as well as our personal finances would be wise. This is the theme of the last week in October and the first week of November. Remember, Jupiter is still in Scopio, until November 8th, making a Big Deal out of stored intense energy and hidden matters.
With responsible Saturn making positive aspects to the Sun, Moon and Uranus, we have the opportunity... no, the necessity... to use our discipline and concentrate on what we need to focus on, without fear and without worry. Saturn has to do with limitation, which is the first step toward manifestation. If you want something on the material plane, you'd better be patient and willing to work for it. That's where we're at.
Another aspect to consider in this Full Moon chart is the alignment of communicative Mercury with expansive Jupiter. Putting on your thinking caps and getting information for yourselves, instead of relying on the talking heads, is very important. Trust your gut, look into things affecting you and then use logic and reasoning, not emotion... to discern the best course of action for yourself.
In the meantime, do what you can to make someone else feel better, because that'll make you feel better. And keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~

New Moon in Libra
Tonight's New Moon in Libra has Venus' energy all over it! Not only does she rule Libra, but Venus just turned retrograde in Scorpio 3 days ago, giving us an opportunity to re-envision balancing the scales in all of our partnerships. Where do you need to renegotiate your agreements , whether personal or business?
The attraction principle of Venus allows us to review what messages we are sending about our values and what we are willing to exchange for what is important to us in our relationships. Where have things gotten out of balance? What lacks equality or fairness? What have we settled for and are we willing to remain there? This is the job of a retrograde cycle, and in Scorpio we have to ask the hard questions and be willing to dig deeper for the answers.
This New Moon chart shows a challenge between Venus and Mars to remain patient with each other. Not pushing too much to have our way or yielding too much to please another are the cautions at this time.There's work to be done on ourselves and there are no short cuts. Mars in Aquarius wants to forge ahead and try something new, but he knows that he must wait and see how Venus feels about the deeper issues. Much can be gained with patience and understanding over the long haul.
Really pressing the issue are squares between the Moon and Pluto and the Sun and Pluto. Drama and intense emotions arise and one has to be honest about just how much is too much and how to regain some peace and quiet. Are you being an antagonist and trying to assert your power just because you know you can, or... are you the protagonist who plays the hero and comes away feeling like you've done some good? Either way, too much is too much and a compromise is called for.
Seek harmony and peacefulness and remember that awareness comes from listening for the answers the universe has to offer and acceptance means starting from where you are. Head in the stars and feet on the ground~
