We are set to make a lot of changes past full-moon in Aries. This process has already begun for many of us, but the first week of October is going to be wild.
It’s a week for action, taking the lead, taking ownership, taking responsibility and, most of all, for self-empowerment.
It’s going to be chaos in the skies. It’s our job to make our own order, and do the things we are here to do.
The big theme this week is power, and the most powerful transits this week are with Pluto stationing in Capricorn.
Mercury exalted trine Pluto perfects on Tuesday, but actually this transit is the culmination of a Grand trine in Earth with Moon exalted and Uranus fallen in Taurus, and a kite pattern in which Mercury opposes Neptune retrograde. This dreamlike energy throws the week wide open, inviting us to wake the f*** up and take action to make the dream reality.
One decisive step at a time.
Mars in exile square Pluto on Sunday is the pain point and wake-up call for those who don’t take the hint with exalted Mercury early on. This transit calls up anger, frustration, control, paranoia and violence to shake people out of timidity and self-repression. Mars square Pluto is going to hit extra hard as Venus falls into Virgo at the exact same time, triggering pettiness and a tendency to criticize and ostracize first and ask questions later.
There is reams more sandwiched between these powerful transits that are really going to shake things up.
I will lead you step by step by step how to navigate these treacherous and violent energies, but first let’s take a look at all the changes in the sky this week.
