KEEP IT SERIOUS AND TO THE POINT
Monday, October 3, 2022
The week begins with the Moon in Capricorn. This deeply grounded sign keeps your focus on practical considerations and serious accomplishments. As the Moon passes through Capricorn the prevailing mood is cautious, determined, and prudent.
Capricorn is the cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn and represented by the solitary mountain goat. This is a sensible hard-working sign keeping you emotionally connected to your personal ambitions. Mature efforts and hard work are in order today.
You will do almost anything during this time to avoid drama and emotional outbursts. Your emotional energies are needed in the service of solitary ambition and mature efforts. Drama and emotional outbursts would seriously derail these efforts.
This is not a time for playfulness or fun. Keep to the point and keep it serious.

SET EMOTIONS ASIDE FOR INTELLECTUAL UNDERSTANDING
Tuesday, October 4, 2022
At 6:21 AM ET, the Moon leaves the heaviness of Capricorn behind and enters the sign of the visionary and the reformer. Perhaps the hard work and physical effort of Capricorn leads us to open our minds to the importance of the intellect in moving things forward.
When the Moon is in this Fixed Air sign, your emotions are filtered through the intellect. Your mood is likely to be informed by ideas, exciting or anxiety-filled flashes of thoughts, and unusual concepts. This is a day to spend in humanitarian-based discussions with friends and cohorts.
With the Moon in Aquarius, we are able to gain some distance from our emotions. We won’t get swallowed up with moodiness or allow the emotions of others to control our actions. We have enough distance from our emotions to understand what is really important.

THE CULTURAL STRUGGLES BEYOND OUR CONTROL
Wednesday, October 5, 2022
The Moon continues through the cool objective sign of Aquarius today. Spend time with people who expand your mind, vision, and perspective. Be ready to think outside the proverbial box and talk about issues of humanitarian concern. How can you contribute to a vision of a better world for all?
With the Moon in this Fixed Air sign, all emotions are filtered through the intellect. Spend time with people who open your thinking to new intellectual ideas and perspectives. Aquarius is the sign of the visionary and the reformer. Look for new ideas and fascinations. Follow the breadcrumbs they provide. Open your mind beyond the filters that usually contain your thinking.
This afternoon you may hit some significant struggles related to the discord happening within the culture. This could concern political or cultural issues, climate impacts, or other issues that are beyond our personal control.
Our lives are profoundly impacted by these struggles even if we are not paying attention. The square aspect that the Moon makes this afternoon to Uranus as it conjuncts Saturn, will bring these issues to your attention. What can you do to help humanity cope?

Are you near Mid-Coast Maine? We can Now Meet In-Person for a Consultation!
I do love my new home here on the wild coast of Maine. As I sit to write, my street is quiet, the sun is shining, and the wind is causing the trees outside my windows to dance erratically. I am grateful every day that I took the risk, uprooted my life, and made a new start.
I woke in the night last night thinking about the way I worked with clients and students in the past. It has been years since I met folks in real time and place! I have done all my consulting and teaching over Zoom since the spring of 2020. Virtual meetings are a great blessing, and yet, It is time to open the door to meeting folks in real-time.
Meeting to talk about your chart is very powerful. If you are near mid-coast Maine and are interested in meeting in person, let me know! I’ll send you an application for an in-person meeting. I am excited about meeting you face to face!

USE YOUR POWERFUL VOICE WISELY
Thursday, October 6, 2022
At 8:46 AM ET, the Moon enters the most sensitive water sign of Pisces. Gone is the intellectual and objective approach to emotions that we were able to maintain over the past few days. Pisces is the mutable water sign that ushers us into a deep level of emotional sensitivity. This powerful sensitivity may feel delightful, allowing you to drift on emotional waves. On the other hand, it may feel overwhelming as you do your best to keep your head above water.
When the Moon is in Pisces you can connect with intangible levels of imagination. Boundaries between yourself and others may blur. In this way, understanding and compassion flow between self and others.
Mercury, now direct forms a trine aspect to Pluto at 11:55 PM ET. Before Mercury turned retrograde it formed this aspect to Pluto on August 22nd, during its retrograde it did so on September 27th. Today brings the third and final step in the story of this aspect. This is a story of ever-deepening understanding and concentration. When this aspect is in focus we have a deep and powerful connection to the importance of our voice. What needs to be said can be articulated in a powerful way.
Your mind is able to get to the very heart of what needs to be said and how it needs to be said. Given that this is the last of three steps to this story, consider how you have used the power of your mind and words since late August. What have you accomplished with the power of your thoughts and words? You have gone far beyond the surface and explored deeply important topics. What has changed with the powerful use of your voice and mind?
Conversations can change everything. Use your powerful voice wisely.

FEEL EVERYTHING
Friday, October 7, 2022
The Moon is in Pisces connecting you to energies beyond your understanding. You are aware of feelings sublime and otherworldly. Sensitivity and compassion well up in your heart as you see and absorb the suffering in the world and in the eyes of those around you.
When the Moon is in this mutable water sign boundaries between ourselves and others can slip away. We find ourselves experiencing the emotions of others. What do we do with these emotions when we are so receptive to absorbing them? How do we manage all the sadness of the world?
Open yourself to the experience. Feel everything then take a nap, dream, meditate, listen to music, make art, and read or write poetry. Avoid destructive fantasies and strong alcohol or drugs. Pisces’ job is to merge, blend, and dissolve all that holds you apart from others. Indulge your imagination, mystical considerations, and deep levels of compassion.

PROFOUND EVOLUTIONARY CHANGE IS COMING
Saturday, October 8, 2022
At the start of the day, you find yourself still in a Pisces frame of mind. Sensitivity abounds. Take it easy and keep your heart open to deep compassion throughout the morning. Just before noon (eastern time), this shifts quite dramatically. At 11:57 AM ET, the Moon enters Aries. This wakes us up and we are ready to leave vulnerability behind to take up the mantle of assertive direct action. This is the realm of Aries.
The Moon does not move into Aries, it blasts into Aries with high energy ready to take action. Aries is fast, hot, impatient, dynamic, and self-oriented. The Moon in Aries needs personal challenges that it can manage and complete on its own without outside input. Don’t second-guess yourself. If the courageous action you take today results in your falling on your face, oh well. It is better to fall on your face than to hold back out of fear or too much caution.
Far away from the Moon and our personal emotions is the tiny powerful planet, Pluto. Today at 5:56 PM ET Pluto stations retrograde at 26 degrees Capricorn.
Pluto is the force of evolution. It is a generational planet moving at a snail’s pace bringing profound cultural change. Today’s shift to direct motion will bring her without further distraction into Aquarius (March 23, 2023).
If you have personal planets or points between 26 and 29 degrees of any Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), pay attention. You are and will continue to experience profound personal change.
During Pluto’s retrograde, we have had deep feelings and reactions to the evolutionary changes that the world is in the throes of. Now it is time to take actions that will influence these outer world changes. You have done the inner work. Over the coming months, you may be asked to do the outer work to help humanity and our world cultures survive.
We all know that profound change is coming. We can read the writing on the wall. Make sure you are clear on what is most important. Make sure that compassion moves your heart. Your actions must align with your personal integrity now more than ever.
Do not resist the change that is coming. It is time to reclaim our goodness and show that we have the capacity to rise from the ashes of what has been burning. It is time to begin the work of claiming our destiny.
Pluto has been in Capricorn since January 2008 and has been retrograde since April 29, 2022. Pluto will continue in direct motion, entering Aquarius on March 23rd and turning retrograde once again on May 1, 2023, at 0 degrees Aquarius.

ARIES FULL MOON – CELEBRATE VITALITY AND ACTION
Sunday, October 9, 2022
Another day with the Moon in Aries keeps our energy high. We may react faster to things that occur in our environment and have less patience than usual. Perhaps we see the wisdom in taking a risk. Direct force and vitality push us forward.
When the Moon is in Aries we all may act without forethought. We are in a hurry and our emotions are less sensitive than usual. Watch out for the potentially loose cannon of your own thoughts, words, and actions. You may be reluctant to cooperate with others as we all want what we want with less regard for the opinion of others. Doing your own thing, on your own is the best way to get anything done today.
Today’s Full Moon occurs at 16 degrees of Aries and is exact at 4:54 PM EDT. Adjust the time for your time zone. Each Full Moon brings us to a time of illumination and a time of celebration. We reach the pinnacle of the cycle that began six months ago and the shorter cycle that began two weeks ago. Think of the Full Moon as the apex of two cycles, and look for what connects the two.
In the monthly lunar cycle, this is the illumination of what began two weeks ago at the Libra New Moon on September 25th. Regarding the larger cycle consider this the point of awareness from the Aries New Moon on April 1, 2022.
