weekly astrology forecast | october 28th to November 2nd, 2024 - disruptive conversations, shocking news and its aftermath



A HUGE week ahead with challenging news, information and conversations and our annual New Moon in intense and empowering SCORPIO - this is a fresh start that will come through a powerful ending, commitment and HARD WORK. 


NOTE - it is very possible the potentially harsh and volatile Mars/Pluto opposition of early next week when the God of War will oppose the God of Death - triggers this week. Keep a cool head. STAY ACTIVE AND FOCUS YOUR ENERGY. Find healthy outlets for anger, stress and anxiety if you are feeling triggered.


Kamala Harris has Juno on her Sun and a Grand Cardinal Cross with Mars/Pluto/Juno, her Sun and her Moon. I can guarantee you she is feeling the pressure. 


This is a fire sign, an earth sign, an air sign and a water sign, with four Gods at their helms squaring off through one person. This is crazy intensity. This is about her working on her weaknesses until they are her strengths. This is about the pressure that makes diamonds. This is the blessing that feels like a curse. This is the karma of her ancestors. She cannot become President without this test of strength. I do not know what she is challenged to do this week (and maybe this is just showing the general flavor of everything that is happening to her and not one specific thing), but I hope for her sake and for the sake of the half of this country that supports her that she is up for it and can do it. 


Biden's chart is triggered, too. 


We will look at this in the next post about Kamala and the election that will blow your mind. Maybe. It blew my mind, but with my brain's swiss-cheesy nature these days I am not certain how hard this is :)


Stay frosty. Big girl and boy pants on. There are lots of smooth and opportunistic aspects this week, too, and it's HALLOWEEN WEEK, baby - we've got this thing.  


MONDAY - Venus squares Saturn, Mars trines Neptune

WEDNESDAY - Mercury opposes Uranus

THURSDAY - Mercury trines Neptune and sextiles Pluto

FRIDAY - NEW MOON IN SCORPIO 

SUNDAY - Jupiter sextiles Chiron, Mercury trines Mars, Mercury sextiles Pluto, Mercury into Sagittarius


MONDAY - Venus at 12 degrees Sagittarius squares a retrograde Saturn in Pisces while Mars, at 27 degrees Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces. There are some mixed messages today with both a square - tension, frustration - and a trine - brakes off, easy movement or release - to the Pisces creative energies. 


Venus/Saturn is challenging. Limits and rules are frustrating. Money can be tight. Maybe we are not getting what we want. Maybe we are feeling older or alone or having a problem with authority or an older person. With Venus in Sag - travel or expansion or wisdom is attractive, but maybe there are responsibilities or barriers to having it. Venus in Sag is answering to that retrograde Jupiter, so this Saturn square is reinforcing the whole "lying in the bed we've made" thing. Maybe something about those greener pastures are out of reach ... for now, not forever. It's Scorpio season and much is what is coming together is invisible at this point. 


Mars/Neptune is the way through this. Keep moving forward. There is a smooth path here somewhere. A way forward that doesn't involve beating our head against the wall. Our intuition is high with a water trine and our movements should be going with the flow. Move when you have the energy and motivation and rest when you do not. Stay compassionate. Pray. Meditate. Take care with drugs/alcohol/medication.


WEDNESDAY - Mercury in Scorpio moves into an exact opposition to shocking change-agent Uranus. DISRUPTIVE NEWS. Plans change. The conversation suddenly shifts. Information shocks. Secrets come out. With Mercury in Scorpio this could bring news of an actual death or ending. Bills come due. Fortunes reverse. Uranus is retrograde, so whatever this is, it shouldn't be totally unexpected, but somehow still is, and obviously this will be more impactful for some people than others.  


THURSDAY - Now Mercury in Scorpio is trining Neptune and sextiling Pluto - so, we are dealing with the aftermath of yesterday's shock and awe - which may or may not have happened yesterday, because timing this stuff is tricky, but will have surely come before these aspects. 


The trine to Neptune stirs our intuition, our compassion, our creativity - also desires to escape, so watch your addictions/medications/meditations and don't overdo escapist things because there will be no filter/stopgap. Nothing feels quite so bad, or quite so shocking THE NEXT DAY ANYWAY. Then Mercury sextiles sober Pluto in Cappy - practical, responsible words, ideas and conversations bring the opportunity for greater security here. Take charge.


FRIDAY - this is all happening in the build up to the New Moon in Scorpio and with Mars applying to his opposition to Pluto - in play now and exact next Monday this can be a POWDER KEG. 


The two rulers of Scorpio - one new, Pluto - and one ancient, Mars - are opposing each other as the Moon catches up with the Sun in Scorpio. THIS IS INTENSE. Whatever starts over the next two weeks will have a very volatile energy signature built right into the mix. This is a fresh start for all of us that comes with a dramatic ending, new ways of dealing with money and intimacy and will require commitment and hard work. 


The New Moon will have its own post!


SUNDAY - the planets are making nice - and maybe getting out of the way - of next week's big opposition ending/explosion - THAT MIGHT HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED - because Mars is a trigger and trigger fingers are itchy these days. 


Jupiter's sextile to Chiron tells us that optimism/faith/expansion are healing very old wounds. Be generous. Accept the generosity of others. Look on the bright side. Keep in mind Jupiter is retrograde so there will be a repeating nature to what is happening (we have had something like this before) or more than one thing going on. There is a lucky gift of healing with whatever is going on now. Look for it. 


Mercury's trine to Mars tells us that deep conversations, truth, getting to the bottom of things, looking under the hood and the covers - moves things forward. Bring us to something more nurturing, more comfortable, more safe. 


And, then Mercury sextiles Pluto. 


So, we can see as Mars and Pluto are opposing each other, MERCURY IS THE WAY THROUGH, trining one and sextiling the other - and benevolent and lucky Jupiter in Gemini is answering to him/her. 


(hopefully, the Mercury-ruled media is turning down the rhetoric right about now! not stoking everyone's fears!)


Keep in mind Scorpio is POWER. It won't be helpful to exacerbate your fears through your thinking and language. Remember your words are YOUR SPELLS. Cast them well!!


To best use Mercury now - speak intentionally (no superficial chitchat). CHOOSE intentionally what you are absorbing - ie reading and listening to. Speak the truth. Pay attention. Focus. Don't scatter yourself with nonsense language. The trine is Cancer - nurturing/home/family/security. There is flow here. The sextile is Capricorn - being responsible, being adult, working with rules and limits, having patience, focusing on the long-term. There is opportunity here for greater safety and security with the right action. 


A tricky week with a strong possibility the Mars/Pluto coming next Monday is tied into the Mercury/Uranus THIS WEEK and triggers early. 


Finally, Mercury heads into Sagittarius, where due to his/her upcoming retrograde, Mercury will be for the rest of the year. 

The scope of information available to us broadens. All the little details we have been immersed in during Mercury's transit through Scorpio fade from view a bit. It's like we have applied a wide angle lens to our camera. There is more to see (know) but less to specifically look at. Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) is optimistic energy. Jupiter is retrograde, so we are mining for old gold. Opportunities we missed the first time through.

(note both our Presidential candidates here in the United States have run before and have natal retrograde Jupiters)

So those big bodacious ideas will carry us further now. People will be thinking and talking BIG. Making BIG plans. Using BIG persuasive, language. It's a good time to sell your "whatever it is", but also a good time to be sold a bill of goods. Keep in mind that words and information could mislead us as our focus moves away from those pesky details and onto the larger landscape.


NOTE - Mercury will be repeating 6-22 degrees Sagittarius during his/her upcoming retrograde, so if you have planets and points within those degrees in Sag or the other mutable signs, you will be most directly impacted. 


Mercury will station retrograde and TURN AROUND pretty much right on Donald Trump's 4th house Moon (he was born on an Eclipse, so the Moon is mega-important) and opposing his 10th house Sun/North Node on November 25th PLUS Jupiter will be retrograde on his North Node of Fate and Uranus will be exact and retrograde on his mid-heaven PLUS Mercury will make multiple passes over the United States Ascendent. Holy smokes Batman!


In the meantime, Halloween will give some of this Scorpio energy something to do.


xo all - I hope something here is helpful. 


Back with the Kamala post and the New Moon post later this week. The New Moon in Scorpio will extend everything in play late this week into the next two weeks and six months. Scorpio don't play.
