THE RIPPLE EFFECTS of
last week's potent Full Moon
continue into the coming week, energized by the exact Venus-Uranus
opposition on Wednesday. This aspect requires a great deal of
flexibility in our relationships, and can cause instability in
partnerships that have been too restrictive or inauthentic for one or
both parties. With Venus being retrograde in Scorpio, intimate alliances
from the past may emerge from the shadows, whether in our memories, in
our dreams, or in our waking life.
Venus
in Scorpio also represents the power of the feminine, as well as what
we deeply value or feel passionate about. With Uranus contributing its
usual "wild card" energy, we can anticipate surprising shifts in these
areas. As a transpersonal planet, Uranus brings
about changes with the intention of raising the consciousness of
humanity -- in particular our social consciousness, but also our
individual awareness of and alignment with the Higher Mind. This can be a
time of great awakening, if we can let go of the emotional patterns and
power struggles that have held us back.
This
is the second of three Venus-Uranus oppositions, marking the middle
phase of a process that began on September 12 and completes on November
30. The energies will be a little different for that last pass,
since Venus will then be direct in Libra and Uranus will have returned
to Aries. To take most advantage of the opportunities represented by
that final opposition, it is vital that we use this
week's aspect to bring in the Light, cleansing our emotional bodies of
that which keeps us in darkness.
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT
event occurs this week, although more
subtle in its influence: magnanimous Jupiter is in harmonious trine
aspect to Chiron, the Wounded Healer. The aspect perfects on Thursday,
but is brought into our awareness earlier in the week, thanks to the
Mercury-Jupiter alignment on Monday.
Jupiter
is nearing the end of its journey through Scorpio, a trek that began in
October 2017, the same week that the first of many revelations of power
abuse came forward, sparking the #MeToo movement. Now, Jupiter is
trying to wrap up its business in Scorpio, getting the last of the
emotional debris out of the corners and from under the rugs, before
moving into Sagittarius on November 8.
Jupiter's
trine to Chiron offers both increased awareness of a wound and a
magnified potential for healing same. Chiron is in Pisces, which means
the wound being revealed has to do with our ability to trust in the
goodness of the Universe, and in Divine Compassion. When difficulties
arise, when our minds cannot
comprehend a tragedy, it can be challenging to accept that Love is
actually the predominant force in the Universe. And yet, to respond
with hate, fear, or apathy only increases that energy on the planet.
This feeds the causative factors behind the tragedy, invoking the
opposite of what we wish to have occur.
So,
Jupiter and Chiron are on a mission this week, to increase our capacity
to heal our personal wounds of disillusionment and despair. By
addressing this issue on an individual level, by holding the light in
times of darkness, we are also healing humanity.
OTHER SHIFTS
occur this week, as two planets leave the watery realms of passionate
Scorpio. Mercury moves into hopeful Sagittarius on Tuesday, which can
lighten our perspectives, contribute to good humor, and help our minds
dwell on more positive potentials.
As
with all signs, however, there are positives and negatives to Sag. Its
primary adverse qualities are judgmentalness, self-righteousness, and
sarcasm. But, if we keep calling in the light and higher intentions, we
should be able to take
advantage of the more favorable traits that Sag is known for: idealism,
generosity, tolerance, and inspiration.
JUST HOURS
after its opposition to Uranus on
Wednesday, retrograde Venus leaves Scorpio and re-enters Libra. Again,
this change of signs may lighten the energy field a bit, since Libra is
dedicated to creating harmony and balance and is a much more comfortable
place for Venus to be. However, we'll need to watch out for
the tendency to give in for the sake of outer peace, instead of standing our ground and risking disagreement and discord.
Over
the next two weeks, until Venus goes direct on November 16, the planet
will be backtracking over territory first
covered September 3 through 8. This is a powerful time to review
relationship issues we may have glossed over at that time, and to make
the decision to be more authentic and honest about our truth going
forward.
IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: In October and November of 2017, when Jupiter aligned
with your Scorpio Sun, an impulse of energy was infused into your
being, meant to drive your intentions and ignite your faith in the depth
of your knowing. Throughout this past year, you have been challenged to
continue to delve into the truth of your emotions. Going forward, your
ruling planet Pluto in stable Capricorn asks you to find
the purposes behind all that you have learned, and to establish goals
for how to apply your heightened self-awareness. The more you can focus
on your true motivations over the coming year, the more prepared you
will be to take advantage of the alignment of Pluto and Saturn in early
2020 -- a time that should be significant in some area of your life,
depending on where that alignment occurs in your natal chart.
