Weekly Transits

Embody the changes you seek; lead by example.

This Week’s Sky with Eliot

October 16th through 22nd

Scorpio Season Begins: The sun moves into the sign of Scorpio, illuminating our Scorpio house. The Solar principle of the Sun engages an area in which we demand the space to be wild and free, but (may) have felt betrayal which has caused a defensive disposition. Regardless of the intensity of your experience in this house there is an expression which seeks to be raw and real or strategic and precise. Scorpio is the feminine expression of Mars. There are passive strategies toward exerting willpower and achieving goals/desires. With Mars in the Sign of Scorpio for the entirety of Scorpio season the Martian principle is empowered as it is home in Scorpio. Additionally, there is extra heat from Mars. Expect passive power plays within relationships (of all kinds). Scorpio seeks to circumvent direct conflict while still engaging in battle. There is transformation of course and engaging the taboo as the sign deals with the hidden. What is hidden from ourselves that may come up in the form of visceral emotions, muscular knots, and projecting onto others the object of our fears. 

Venus Trines Jupiter: The current culture around our social spheres and relationships is still under review with Jupiter Retrograde till December 30, 2023. In this position the 1:1 relationships are under a microscope with Venus in Virgo. This trine creates a constant flow of energy in which we are more naturally inclined to judge how the fine tunings of our 1:1 relationship settings fit into the expansions we are being presented with while Jupiter is in Taurus. 1:1 Relationships are defined partnerships with no decided hierarchy between 2 parties or people. 

Mercury enters Scorpio: The interpretation of the senses in a logical and objective setting are more sensitive to changes in normality. Again, the Scorpio House is a place we are defensive in order to be wild. The awareness on a physiological and mental plane is heightened. This will exacerbate the judgings of Venus in Virgo, but note Mercury enters Scorpio only on Oct 22. 

The Moon in Scorpio - Oct 16-17: Pay attention to the emotionally lead thoughts that come about these days as well as on Oct 15th, as this can be a good indicator of what your subconscious is focused on, and what is stored in your Scorpionic mind. 

The Moon in Sagittarius - Oct 17-19: Feeds an inquisitive and optimistic mind. Brew up some ideas and get a more positive attitude on these interpersonal developments coming this week. Positive mental conceptions are less easy to fall into this week, so this period is worth the advantage.

The Moon in Capricorn - Oct 20-21: The first Moon in Capricorn since Pluto ended its Retrograde we might take into consideration events and feelings around power dynamics. 

The Moon in Aquarius - Oct 22: Innovative and groundbreaking, this develops on the mood from the beginning of the week and could present some novel ideas to how you would like to approach your relationships. You may be more motivated to break through boundaries. Social, cordial, circumstantial boundaries.

Keep in mind that your reality is a reflection of yourself. Any changes you seek in your environment are not truly earned if you are not embodying them yourself. You must come correct if you are to ask of others. If not, you are playing a game of projection, force, and dogma. If you have critiques of your environment you should consider why you settled into this circumstance to remind yourself of the values which put guided you here. This reinforces gratitude and thus a diplomatic approach which can present a more organic shift toward the developments you seek.

There is also the counter-experiences where others are coercing, requesting, or influencing shifts in us. In this case, do not be persuaded by those seeking to shift power dynamics without having embodied the changes themselves.
