Cosmic Insights – October 23, 2023 October 22, 2023

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of October 23, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in the last degree of relationship-oriented Libra, illuminating an opportunity to look to the ‘signs’ to read spiritual understanding through concrete objects that can unify the concepts of consciousness in the context of relating to oneself as a whole unit, instead of experiencing a conflicting reality through the individual aspects of the conscious, unconscious, and higher consciousness

Whereas, Venus the CEO of Libra is currently traveling through practical conscious Virgo delivering the message to call upon the deeper and inherent knowledge within to make sense of the signs being given by Mercury in mysterious Scorpio to achieve great things by relating the three aspects of consciousness so they work together.  

Mars, the planetary enforcer of Scorpio is also moving through Scorpio with clear actions that defy any lack of misunderstanding when boundaries have been crossed.

Meanwhile, the Moon is flying through emotionally detached and icy Aquarius with exposed secret motives that have to be faced regarding home and family affairs, as one comes to terms with judgments about one’s true worth.  

As the Moon in Aquarius is involved in a yod configuration with Venus in Virgo and Chiron in Aries, emotional detachment may be a blessing in disguise as pieces of the puzzle of relating fall into place.  Although it may feel like a bandage has been ripped off a personal wound of rejection or abandonment, the wound can now begin to heal through taking responsibility for self-abandonment projected onto others.

Just before lunch, the Sun shifts from relating to transforming as the Sun moves into secretive Scorpio, joining Mercury and Mars with a plan of action to powerfully transform the shadow of consciousness with a relentless presence of intense light to reveal what is hidden within.  Thus, the next thirty days present a powerful opportunity to discover the depths of subconscious negative emotions or limiting beliefs that sabotage the quality of life experiences.

In the early hours of October 24, the Moon drifts into elusive Pisces as it joins Saturn retrograde in Pisces for a behind-the-scenes rendezvous of a soulful nature as a current of deep emotions has the power to dissolve or overwhelm the boundaries of separation.  Thus, dreams may hold a clue to romantic feelings unconsciously experienced on a different level of reality.

On another note, the Moon interacts favorably with all the other planets except for (Venus in Virgo), during the next couple of days with opportunities to express deep emotions through artistic endeavors related to music, poetry, writing, and painting.  However as Venus in Virgo opposes the Moon in Pisces, it is important to balance work responsibilities with creative breaks.

Shortly before sunrise on October 26, the Moon leaves dreamy Pisces with an early wake-up call to jump into energetic Aries!  So, the work day may begin with rushing out the door without being fully prepared.  Thus, the day starts off with almost an immediate attitude adjustment going faster may become frustrating with delays during this gibbous lunar phase, as the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Aries are both ruled by Mars in Scorpio.  As the gibbous lunar phase has an inherent emotional wobble, if the Moon in Aries has a knee-jerk reaction to circumstances, it can derail the purpose of the Sun in Scorpio which will likely incur immediate and undesired actions from Mars in Scorpio, followed by an attitude adjustment from Venus in Virgo, and challenges from Pluto in Capricorn!  Suffice it to say, it would be wiser to take a deep breath and wait until the frustration has passed before reacting, then push the envelope during the next couple of days!

On October 28, the weekend begins when the Moon tip-toes into calm and quiet Taurus before the Sun comes up, offering a lazy emotional day of rest and recreation.  That is until Mars in Scorpio opposes Jupiter retrograde in Taurus with a honey-do list to complete before the day ends.  However, it would be wise to cooperate and compromise before the full moon/lunar eclipse occurs later in the afternoon between the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Taurus.  Otherwise, both parties may stubbornly become entrenched in their respective positions which could impact the next six months concerning self-values, resources, and relating. More importantly,  the intentions of the recent solar eclipse in Libra require a consensus of values and cooperation during the next six months that will impact the unfoldment of circumstances and the quality of life during the next nineteen years.
