Sun at 2˚ 24 ' Scorpio
Moon at 2˚ 24 ' Taurus

The nights are really starting to draw in and soon for those of us who work away from home, we will be getting up in the dark and returning home in the dark. One of the benefits of this is that you get the chance to see the most beautiful Sunrises. The colours are spectacular, the red, yellows, pinks and oranges reflect the colours that surround us in nature. Especially the stag horn, which has brilliant red leaves at this time of year.

We are almost at Samhain, which is half way between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice and is classed as a power point in time, reflecting nature’s responses to the energy changes that came into motion at the autumn equinox. This is an important time of year, the Earth needs a rest, so it can be receptive and give new life to the seeds which are planted in its depths. The ancient people believed this is a time when the veils are thin between the physical and spiritual worlds, and can lead to a higher state of consciousness. All over the world people will be connecting with loved ones who have gone before them.

The chart of the full Moon has Libra rising with the Sun in Scorpio in the 1st opposite the Moon in Taurus in the 7th. Mercury in Libra in the 1st is still retrograde and is conjunct the Sun and opposite the Moon. The Sun is applying to a sextile with Saturn while the Moon is applying to a trine with Saturn. The Sun is involved in a grand water trine with Mars in Cancer in the 9th and the Moon’s Node is in Pisces in the 5th. Mercury and Venus are in mutual reception, which places an emphasis on these two planets

Venus the chart ruler is in Virgo in the 11th separating from a conjunction with Saturn also in Virgo in the 11th. Venus is involved in a T-square with Jupiter in Sagittarius in the 3rd and Uranus in Pisces in the 5th.

Issues could come up around communication, money and relationships values. This is a good time of letting go and transforming old habits. The Sun in Scorpio can be very secretive and often learns the lesson of control, manipulation and who has the power, having often found themselves in a powerless position. I can hear a lot of you say what about that famous Scorpio sting. Well Scorpions are often misunderstood and have a very compassionate side to them. They have a very intense nature and can have an ability to go where others fear to tread. Scorpio is aware of other people’s values and joint resources while Taurus is aware of its own values. Both are fixed signs and can be very stubborn, not knowing when its time for a change.

Venus is in an exact opposition to Uranus giving the feeling of wanting to have freedom especially in relationships and can have the tendency to be quite extreme and throw the baby out with the bath water. Venus in Virgo can be quite critical and seeks perfection, thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Virgo has a very creative side to it and really has an eye for detail. Remember if things start to feel pressurized do something different. Something you enjoy doing, like going to the movies, painting a picture or treat yourself to something unusual. I get the feeling that there are lots of changes going on collectively and lots of people are in life changing processes. Feeling okay one minute and not the next and l have heard a lot of people saying that their energy is very low. So be gentle with yourselves, relax and remember to take time out for yourself.

Don’t forget Mercury is still retrograde and it feels like going over old ground especially where communications are concerned.

I leave you with a quote.

Blessings of the full Moon to you all Linda Day
