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.

JUNE MONTHLY HOROSCOPES 2021

AIRES / ARIES RISING

June begins with Venus bringing nourishment and pleasure to your home and family sector. Time spent at home with family or those you consider to be family helps bind and bring you closer together. Mars, shifting mid-month into your pleasure sector motivates you to get back to the things you love that are creative and fun. The solar eclipse conjunct Mercury, who is retrograde on June 10thmay see a time of confusion that becomes clearer by month’s end.

TAURUS / TAURUS RISING

Having Mercury’s retrograde and a solar eclipse in your earned money sector indicates confusion around income or finances. Take a cautious approach and minimise any undue risks until this phase has cleared in July. Mars’ motivating influence in your home sector is suitable for making home improvements that require hard work or muscle. Jupiter offers up some beneficial people within your social circles. 

GEMINI / GEMINI RISING

Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde in June; this, combined with the solar eclipse on June 10th, might be both confusing and confronting. Matters related to how you present and are seen are evolving rapidly. Although June might be uncomfortable, by July, there will be a clearer way to move forwards and present yourself to the world. Venus is very helpful for boosting finances, while Jupiter assists with career progression.

CANCER / CANCER RISING

Venus puts you in a great light as she moves through your presentation sector, allowing others to see your graces and attractive qualities. Mars shifting into your financial sector might offer bold opportunities to strike out; however, be mindful of your motivations. Hubris is to be avoided. An active Gemini sector points to a lot going on beneath the surface. Go with it; it’s evolving. 

LEO / LEO RISING

Mars moving into your most visible chart sector indicates an excellent opportunity to work on your physical strength and health. Be mindful that it doesn’t cross over into being seen as aggressive. Venus helps smooth over matters that have been agitated or stirred up on a subconscious level. Your social sector is changing thanks to a solar eclipse and Mercury’s retrograde. Know that by July, you will find clarity; until then, it’s evolving.

VIRGO / VIRGO RISING

Mercury’s retrograde in your career and reputation sector throws a few spanners in the works. Expect the unexpected and roll with it; this area of life will be in flux until July. Mercury is your ruler, so Virgos will feel it more than most. Jupiter brings buoyancy and optimism to your one-on-one relationships, and Venus in your social sector offers strong support from those around you.

LIBRA / LIBRA RISING

Venus graces your career and reputation sector allowing for harmonious and positive results in this area of life. Jupiter adds buoyancy and optimism to your daily routine bringing emotional support to the simplest of routines and activities. From mid-month, Mars boosts your interactions and motivates your social activities. 

SCORPIO / SCORPIO RISING

A rather funky Mercury retrograde in your resources sector makes this area erratic and volatile all June; expect the unexpected. By July, things simmer down. Jupiter gives a wonderful boost to your love and creativity sector. Nourishing the waters and opening up new avenues, particularly in the area of love.

SAGITTARIUS / SAGITTARIUS RISING

Mercury retrograde and a solar eclipse in your relationship sector will stir things up, making signals unreadable and down-right strange. Know this is at play if things get a bit strange, the uncertainty will ease in July. Jupiter, your ruler, is back at peak strength this June, offering gifts or opportunities in your family and home sector. Sagittarians will feel like they are getting their mojo back as it activates the base of your chart. 

CAPRICORN / CAPRICORN RISING

Mercury retrograde and a Solar eclipse in your health and routine sector caution you to be mindful of your health and not overdoing things. The eclipse has a strong draining or purging effect, be aware that what you have planned might get diverted or altered. This is temporary, and things bounce back by July. Venus helps by offering support and bringing out the best in people you interact with all month, helping to smooth over any issues.

AQUARIUS  / AQUARIUS RISING

Jupiter enters your money sector for the first time in 12 years, helping boost income and self-worth. Mercury’s retrograde, along with a solar eclipse in your creativity and love sector, means reassessment – unseen influences are at play. Knowing it’s a time of change and evolution in this area of life allows you to move forwards with more clarity in July. 

PISCES / PISCES RISING

Jupiter is back in Pisces, and you’re adjusting to it being home after an absence of 12 years. It’s the beginning of a new cycle, boosting your confidence and sense of identity. Mercury’s retrograde and a solar eclipse in your home and family sector brings change, reassessment and progression. Not all of it can be seen or understood at the time. Know that matters related to your home and family are evolving.

Solar Eclipse: 2020 Solstice Shadows

~ Sarah Murphy ~ Leave a comment

On Sunday 21stof June, we have a large Solar Eclipse on the auspicious Cancer Solstice 0° point. With half the inner planets now retrograde, and Mars moving into position for its retrograde, later this year; a strongly aspected Solar Eclipse on the Solstice point reflects the power of unseen and imbalanced energies at work. When it comes to harvesting, good energy, this Solstice is not the best pickings.

Eclipses are when the Sun and the Moon are literally overshadowed by each other. Looking like they are either eating or swallowing each other.  It’s not great for a relationship based on feeding/reflecting each other with each-others light. The relationship of the Luminaries is the basis of seasonal cycles, time keeping as well as seeding and harvesting foods and crops all things we are dependent on as a Society.  Eclipses are when this relationship is not its usual self and where the unseen is at work, eclipsed from vision. What is being formed is literally shadowed, blocked, unclear, or shady. Eclipses are the definition of shady business. 

This shady business occurring, at the point of greatest imbalance of light, whether it be greatest light, or greatest darkness, it’s a double down on this imbalance of light and what is seen and unseen. It’s a good time to reflect on issues of the Cancer / Capricorn axis, as they are at the heart of this Eclipse. Cancer (Home, Family, Ancestors, Nourishment, Tending to Emotional and Physical Needs and Instinctual / Protective Qualities) vs Capricorn (Power, Work, Government/Governance, Autonomy, Career, Money, Reputation, Being Seen).  Focusing on getting these topics balanced, so you are not dominated by either sphere, helps in working with what 2020 is offering up.

This eclipse is on the Rahu or North Node side of the Eclipse equation. Meaning it has a Moreish/ Materialistic / Consumption quality about it. With both the Sun and Moon, in such tight aspect to Rahu/North Node, our 2 luminaries, will be getting a lot of pressure, to consume, desire and ingest, with no off-switch button attached. So, looking after yourself, not overdoing things, not putting too much expectation on what you should be doing, whilst not ignoring your external obligations would be good eclipse energy management. Remembering to take time to digest, over the next 2 weeks – 6months, this is critical to managing this North Node / Rahu energy. Stop and digest! 

Things may feel a little out of control right now, but trying to keep some balance with all the obvious imbalances around you, centring on commitments to yourself, your home and nurturing your personal needs, without neglecting your current commitments to Society and your working sphere, is all being strongly emphasised at this eclipse. With the Eclipse falling on the Solstice, it’s a striking reminder about potency of 2020’s Astrology.  Blindly consuming things or solutions that feed either the Cancer or Capricorn equation, is where we can get in trouble, moving forwards from this eclipse.  Stopping to digest will be of great assistance at this time, rather than blindly doing and consuming products, content, or old beliefs, in the hopes that the solutions will be found. The aim is to not add to the confusion, that this Solstice Eclipse and 2020 has on offer, and creating time to process rather than blindly pushing forwards, will be of great assistance in such an unstable and increasingly volatile time.
