As the World Turns: Each day, during a block of 24 hours, our Earth rotates on its axis as the energy of other planets and the Moon interacts with all of us below.

Astro Weekend Update

We find the heavens are busy on Sunday, with nine celestial aspects for our consideration. Mars, planet of initiation, and Venus, planet of love appear twice in the scheme of things. A loved one ma conspire with you today to start something new, but you might get a bad feeling about it. This is because you feel better staying in your comfort zone. Not all change is for the good, but you need discern what is — both for yourself, and the sake of your relationships.

“You may be uncomfortable navigating your way through the new ideas and plans for growth, at work and at home.”

Monday starts the work-week with the Moon (emotions) showing an opportunity for transformation in your life. You know how you end a busy day with some real insights on how to proceed? Well, today can be such a day when you deal with your Spiritual side. You will encounter some resistance and “push back”, but don’t become too emotional. This always happens just when you are closest to a breakthrough. Remember to take a break and relax so you can return to work with better focus.

Love beckons on Tuesday, as Venus plays a dual role — filling you up with the mood for romance — whoo hoo. But this is a day to do something you have enjoyed in the past… nothing new. Just enjoy your favorite dinner or lunch spot together. On the work-front, pay careful attention to some important communication. Once you deal with the messages you get properly, you can break through any “road blocks” that have been holding you back.

Wednesday may put your emotions to the test — but remember to embrace a certain amount of tension as what it takes to get things done in this life. You may be uncomfortable navigating your way through the new ideas and plans for growth, at work and at home. But we live in a time of great change, so don’t block it or take things personally. Instead find the old fighting spirit that loves a challenge… and forge ahead.

Here’s to a Happy Halloween for all of the little “spheres” in your life.

Welcome to Friday, the Moon is comfortable with Uranus (New Ideas), but feeling a bit of stress with both Pluto (Transformation), Jupiter (Growth), and Mercury (Communication). This is a better day to capture your ideas in outline form — use your favorite office program — then organize them for presentation later. Clip out ads that intrigue you and save them for the right moment. Spend your time perfecting your message. Timing is important in life.

“Your mate may not be interested in new approaches right now, but will respond well to honest and heartfelt passion.”

On Saturday, we see a mixed bag of celestial energies into play as Halloween roles around. Happy Halloween. It is clear that you feel like taking charge of some of the festivities (good), and that Love will be good for your health… as it always is. There’s a bit of tension surrounding your spiritual beliefs and your personality. Good. This signals opportunities for you to examine yourself… and grow.

Sunday finds Mercury squaring off with Mars — not the best day to discuss new plans… just take it easy and enjoy the weekend. The Moon (Emotions) is dancing nice with Pluto and Neptune and in harmony with Chiron today. Concentrating on your Spiritual side can bring a transformation that’s good for your health. Remember — just like the body, the Spirit must be nurtured too… it is at the source of all you do and become.

Monday starts out the week busy with nine aspects comingling their energies. Venus, planet of Love, shows tension with Uranus (Inventions), but harmony with Neptune (Spiritual matters). Your mate may not be interested in new approaches right now, but will respond well to honest and heartfelt passion. Use the emotional tension in the air to search yoruself and find out what’s blocking you from making progress. Hint: communication.

As Tuesday rolls in, the Moon (Emotions) is found squaring off with Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune. There’s harmony with Uranus, however, so it’s going to take some creative thninking to deal with what’s been blocking your growth. Remember — what you imagine, you can do… and where there’s a will, there’s a way. Stand firm, but leave enough flexibility so you can listen to important people in your life and modify your plans accordingly.

Ever find yourself torn on how to proceed with an idea? On Saturday, we find that you can think of some things that will bring about prosperity and growth, while at the same time, you may not feel like doing them. This “angst” often occurs when you can see a clear way ahead, but your emotions are holding you back. Look to your Spiritual side for motivation, and open up communication so you aren’t blocked from transformation.

“…in most relationship issues, the key is going to be open and honest communication. And remember, that means truly listening, not just waiting to speak.”

Sunday brings some busy energies from the heavens as the Moon makes nice with Uranus, Venus and Saturn, squares off with the Sun, and works in conjunctions with Mars. There are also some tension signals with Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron. This is not the day to clap your hands and expect a lot to get done. Instead focus on those loving relationships, and the nurturing they require. Sometimes a groundwork needs to be laid first, before you can initiate steps leading to progress.

Monday finds Mars in harmony with Saturn which brings energy to the practical plans you launch this week. We also see a certain amount of emotional tension with Pluto, Uranus, Venus and Saturn again. In the workplace, this creative tension may be what’s needed as your team bounces ideas around. Pay attention to limits (on funding, resources, etc.) that people propose. Some limits are good (budgets), and some are to restrictive due to fear of the unknown. The trick is to discern the difference.

Tuesday brings a time when growth ideas and initiatives will be received well. Use that energy in the workplace to get ahead. On the home and relationship front, there could be something blocking your way — something important you and/or your partner are ignoring. Is there an old disagreement that was never resolved? Ignoring it is not a solution. As in most relationship issues, the key is going to be open and honest communication. And remember, that means truly listening, not just waiting to speak.

At approximately 10 to 16 million years old, astronomers suspect this star is at just the right age for forming rocky planets. The system is located approximately 424 light-years away from Earth.

On Saturday we find busy energies in the heavens as the Moon (emotions) squares off with three planets, works in trine with two (Chiron and Neptune), opposes Pluto (Transformation). The clues here are Spiritual Health as you meditate on what may be blocking needed renewal. Look specifically at communication — is there something you’ve been putting off discussing with a friend or colleague? The sooner you get it cleared — the sooner you can move on. That’s the Spirit.

“It can be tough, but you need to look at emotions in this area. Remember, feel, deal, heal. Talk about it.”

Sunday finds the Moon (emotions) showing stress with Venus (Love), Chiron (Health), and Neptune (Spirituality). When your Spiritual side is not in balance in your relationships, it’s not healthy. Do you both have common Spiritual goals? That’s important. Meanwhile, the Moon is also working in conjunction with Mars, so you can find the energy to get some new projects started today.

Monday shows more conflict between Love and Health. It can be tough, but you need to look at emotions in this area. Remember, feel, deal, heal. Talk about it. The Moon is happy today, with The Sun (Personality), Saturn (Practicality), Uranus (New Ideas), and Mercury (Communication). This alignment can play out well in your career as you bring forward plans of a practical nature and are seen in a favorable light at work.

Tuesday is looking a bit “edgy”, celestially speaking, with the Moon showing some stress with The sun, Uranus, Saturn, Pluto and Mercury. In Life, and relationships, there are always emotions to deal with. This creates energy, which though at times feels unsettling, can be used as the inspiration to move forward. Pray for discernment, and the wisdom to understand your mate and colleagues. Then use the energy to do the right things.
