The Sun has moved into the sign of Scorpio so we feel the chill of the fall season bearing down. This can be a very energetic time of the year as Scorpio is ruled by Mars. It creates an emotional intensity that drives progress. Any inner turmoil is sidelined by a powerful ability to cope with difficult circumstances. As Benjamin Disraeli said “Man is not the creature of circumstances, but circumstances are the creatures of men.”
Jupiter is in an exact square aspect to Mercury, so there is a tendency toward expansion. There is an expansion of ideas, emotions, and physical activity. Also, there is a need to prioritize. There is a desire not to be controlled by outward influences. The Moon in Libra allows us to discuss our feelings. It encourages us to speak our own truth.
We are being blown back and forth by the prevailing winds. It is very difficult to stay balanced when the surrounding conditions are so unpredictable. It is important to stay focused and conserve energy. Work toward targeted goals. Opportunities come from unexpected places. Be ready to act when the occasion presents itself.
