Forecast for Saturday, October 3rd
Aries/Taurus Disseminating Moon
Oracular Overview—following everything back to its original source will offer some surprising information…
This morning may be a bit abrasive, pushy, or enragingly rushed… after the moon moves into Taurus*, circumstances should calm naturally, or ease up enough to be noticeable.
However, either way, today may offer opportunities to “challenge powers hidden in the depths of the unconscious…”¹ and will ask of you to find the “will to explore the hidden depths of all experiences and to search for primordial causes…”¹ or, in other words—the original source.
And the curiosities and hidden information of Mercury now moving through the degrees of depth-sourcing Scorpio should definitely emerge now…
❝Echoes are more noisy than the source.❞
——Toba Beta
Yesterday’s energies potentially offered ways for your spark to be revived, or for hidden, shadowy, and unknown details to come to light… and now “the creative spirit [is] pointing to the future—a “meeting” that introduces into the collective situation a totally new factor which transcends it… a new quality of being is revealed which renders the old patterns obsolete…”²
Indeed.
These influences are occurring through the lunarly illuminations upon Mercury applying Uranus by opposition—which typically offers much in terms of uncanny insights or innovative sparks of genius, or even spiritual awakenings… and within the dichotomies of both Scorpio and Taurus, these—however these manifest for you—will likely possess quite a lot of depth to psychically spelunk, explore, and penetrate even further.
Beyond this opposition, Mars is retrograde, and applying back to Pluto, connecting by square. The first time Mars squared Pluto was on August 12th at 23° and will be exact again on October 8th at 22°, which is the degree through which Saturn and Pluto collided in conjunction in Capricorn back in January…
❝Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.❞
——Rosa Luxemburg
How was your reality defined back in January? And how is your reality now defined?
How have your foundational securities shifted or evolved since January?—as well as your sense of personal power?
What has shifted or evolved since August, specifically?—are these circumstances related?
What is currently occurring, shifting and evolving within these circumstances in your reality?
How would you prefer to experience your personal power or foundational securities?—or reality, overall…
Back in August you were given opportunities to “gain a forum for your views; rise to the top [in some way]; educate others on issues of concern; obtain necessary answers; unify; speak from the heart; light a fire under others; develop and use your power without betrayal; and give voice to your views…” and on Thursday, through this week, you could become somewhat authentically entranced, or even gaslighted (remember, I forewarned you of potential deceptions afoot through the first week of October…), to “aggressively forward your own interests without compromising; take up a stand or a cause; rise to the occasion; cross swords; play the situation as it lies; backtrack or try a new approach when an approach meets with failure…”³
❝They tell you: Follow your dreams. Listen to your spirit. Change the world. Make your mark. Find your inner voice and make it sing. Embrace failure. Dream. Dream and dream big. As a matter of fact, dream and don’t stop dreaming until your dream comes true… I think that’s crap. I think a lot of people dream. And while they are busy dreaming—the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, powerful, engaged people—are busy doing.❞
——Shonda Rhimes
The last and final square between Mars and Pluto will occur on December 23rd at 24°… and likely making sense of it all, and offering the truth—the original source within all of this havoc, throughout all of the shifts, evolving, and circumstantial reality… through “finding answers to all of life’s big questions; putting a finger on arcane truths; finding a true calling; working out the ramifications; and cultivating inner truths…”³
But in between now and then some seriously sobering reality checks are due—in an effort toward once and for all learning some Capricornian lessons.
How does all of this apply toward a Taurean moon?—Taurean energies may be more concerned with foundational shifts and evolutions and the strengthening of personal powers than many other energies… and a Taurus moon acknowledges that—whatever your answers may be—there will always be a fine line between What Is and What Isn’t, between What Could Be and What Will Never Be… and a Taurus moon may understand more than any other moon that one’s resources regarding either involve much more than just oneself—but begin through ‘the original source’ within.
And you have the next two days to continue sourcing back to the true origin of all things…
❝Do you ever feel like you are giving far fewer fucks and yet still caring so much it sometimes feels like there is only the most tissue-thin layer separating your soul from this world? Like your heart may be broken but your spirit is still rising? Are you refusing to conform and somehow still fitting just right? Able to look people right in the eye without apology and also like you’re a teenager again, bashful and blushing and off-kilter… Do you ever walk on purpose even when you have nowhere to go? Do you notice things deeply, like dark red lipstick prints on pristine white coffee mugs? Like the way whiskey burns and cool white sheets feel against your skin at the end of the day? Are you claiming your identity, clear and strong and true, and also sinking into the vast unknowable mystery of your all? Do your days feel like longing and acquiescence and learning to stop grasping at things that are ready to leave or that choose not to come closer? Are you making a home of your own skin and inviting the world inside? Are you learning that cultivating solid boundaries and driving into a wide open horizon both feel like freedom, like the harsh desert mountains and the soft ocean wisdom and the road to healing that joins the two? Does it all feel like solidity, like truth, like forgiveness and recklessness and heat and sexy and holy, all rolled up together? Do you crave the burn of heat from another and for nothing to be louder than the sound of your own heartbeat, all at once? Do you finally know that you can choose a love and a life that does not break you? That you can claim a softer beauty and a kinder want, that even your animal hunger can soften its rough edges and say a full-throated ‘yes’ to what is good and kind and holy. Do you remember that insanity is not a prerequisite for passion and that there is another pathway to your art, one that does not demand your pain as payment for its own becoming? Are you learning to show up? To take up space? To feel the power? Is it full of contradiction… does it feel like fire underwater? Are you rising to sing?❞
