This week carries shake-up energy from the 11/15 Full Moon in Taurus with change-maker Uranus. Outer planet influences may bring subtle or even radical shifts in our sense of self that can feel like rebirth. Mental Mercury is in rare “mutual reception” with benevolent Jupiter, each occupying the other’s home sign, strengthening both with welcome optimism and an expanded Big Picture.

As we approach a pivotal, contentious election, the Cosmos is offering us some high level assistance if we can rise to it. The two most edgy, challenging planets are at the heart of both the political upheaval and our best response to it.

The sign of secrets, revelations, and subtle strategy, Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, and co-ruled by Mars. The current face-off between these two planets fuels the feeling of intensity and potential explosiveness in the world at large

This week’s Full Supermoon in Aries 10/17 vibrates with the intensity of a Grand Cross: Libra Sun opposes Aries Full Moon, with both at right angles to Mars opposite Pluto, the most Yang planets. This strong formation combines polarity and awareness with power and a push for action.

A partial Solar Eclipse in Libra on 10/2 will complete this Eclipse cycle with intensity and potential for change that is a course correction for our lives.  As a South Node Eclipse, it focuses on releasing the past, yet it's also a super New Moon marking new beginnings.

The next 3 months will be colored by Sunday’s Fall Equinox, resonating with the transformative energy of the current Eclipse Portal. Sun enters Libra, sign of balance and equality, where the Solar Eclipse will occur 10/2.

Eclipses are pivot points bringing transformation that is often destined and usually permanent. Lunar Eclipses are more emotional, bringing completion to a chapter, especially in final sign Pisces,  Keeping our attention focused within is key.

Welcome to the Eclipse Portal, where permanent transformation can feel fated or surprising, gentle or seismic, depending on what is needed. It will begin with a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on 9/17, and can feel like a roller coaster ride where the curves and dips are as exciting or fearsome as we perceive them to be.
