Lunar Eclipse – Luminary Astrology

OCTOBER 2023 MONTHLY HOROSCOPES

This October we welcome eclipse season with the changing over from one eclipse cycle to another makes it one of the more active months this year. In October we finish the Taurus (North Node / Rahu ) and Scorpio (South Node / Ketu ) eclipse cycle and move into the Aries (North Node / Rahu ) and Libra (South Node / Ketu ) cycle.

These cycles occur every 18 – 19 years and last for up to 18 months. October begins the cycle of being overly hungry or excessively driven in the Aries sector of your chart and a purging, releasing and letting go of things that are out dated in the Libra sector of your chart. Things can be impulsive and a sense of urgency can appear in the 4 – 5 weeks that the time eclipses occur. Eclipse time can see an acceleration of events and situations, moving a person forward to generally more favourable position, but this may not feel that way at the time as it may feel like it comes out of nowhere or that you don’t have time to process all the activity as it all happens at once.

A brief 50 word write up is below, out lining the areas of life where this hunger / purging cycle begins, with this months Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 15th and where the old eclipse cycle is ending with the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 29th.

NOVEMBER’S HOROSCOPES 2021

November is a spicy month astrologically speaking with many aspects which might present some challenges, especially mid month. Mars, enters Scorpio its ruling sign by the 1st of November. Having mars in such a strong position can help motivate and create strong momentum in the area of life that Scorpio rules in your chart, getting to the bottom of any challenges or understand the mechanics of this area of life is helpful. Mars only transits this area of life once every two years.

However as Mars transits Scorpio, it will square Saturn in Aquarius which is a planet also in its rulership but also a planet which is the antithesis of Mars energy. Saturn likes to go slow and take’s its time to make sure all the checks and balances are in place, mars likes to push through and works with allot more urgency. Having these two malefic planets in a challenging square aspect will trigger one of them to be frustrated. Mars when frustrated gets aggressive, Saturn when frustrated, clamps down and suppresses . As they are both in fixed signs that rule, the tension between the two will be extremely noticeable with neither wanting to concede Watch this space.

After squaring Saturn, Mars then moves on to oppose Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is a change agent which speaks to autonomy and freedom. When combined, both Mars and Uranus can create a very volatile, unpredictable and explosive dynamic. Challenges or opportunities, as Uranus can present opportunities will have a more urgent quality thanks to Mars, igniting the situation. The feeling of having to do something NOW, might be all consuming. Be careful handling this energy as it is very much a potential tinderbox, that could go in any direction.

The new moon on November 19th is a lunar eclipse on the fixed star Algol, making it anything but a nice and friendly full moon. Algol is a difficult fixed star, which has some very heavy connotation’s and attributes. Having the lunar eclipse on it makes it a volatile and unpredictable full moon. Unseen dynamics are at play and being very mindful with how you interact with this energy is important. This lunar eclipse is also the introduction to a new 18 month eclipse season on the Taurus / Scorpio axis. So we are shifting from an eclipse cycle on the Gemini / Sagittarius axis and moving into the Taurus / Scorpio axis. A lunar eclipse on Algol is anything but a subtle introduction.

Finally on the lunar eclipse, Venus reaches her retrograde point for her upcoming retrograde cycle in Capricorn, which will be spoken about in my next post. Moving through November, it will have its challenges, but by months end we look to a time where these dynamic and energies ease. By December, we enter a time frame that doesn’t have so much complex transits occurring simultaneously. It’s going to be an interesting ride.
