While it is true that patience is the only virtue…waiting for Godot isn’t. Now would be a good time to check not only the relevance of your thinking but also the reality of it. Theory may be brilliant until it is put to the test of practical application and time. There does seem to be a window of opportunity for receiving hidden insights into the motives of others and ourselves. Take this moment to recount the best way of improving your own psychology. Leave reforming others to the professionals.

The conscious and the unconscious are in harmony so now you can be on the same page with yourself. Know yourself and you will know the others. Know the others and you will know yourself. Perhaps the times bring about a kind of Machiavellian behavior in humanity. Use inexperience as a tool to teach yourself the lessons of life. This reminds me of a parable in which the King asks for a shave. The barber hears the request “that if one drop of blood is spilled, the barber will get his head cut off.” So the barber sends his assistant and the assistant decides to send his assistant until the least experienced one had to give the King a shave.” The most inexperienced barber shaves the King and does a perfect job. The King inquired,”you heard my message, how is it that you are brave enough to give me a shave?” The young barber replied, “the knife is in my hand”.

Basically, we find people feeling gregarious but still keeping their real feelings to themselves. This would be due to the sextile between Mercury and Saturn. Don’t expect to see any revelations in thinking any time soon. Fear is a very difficult emotion to drive out.

The week begins under a veil of secrecy thanks to the Moon in Scorpio. Scorpio is always investigating the underlying cause and purpose of behavior. There are many causes for an effect and many effects from a cause. It’s a bit like throwing a stone in the water. You can see the ripples of water spreading out from the source. The Sun in Libra increases the need to communicate in a civilized and sociable manner. This masks any underlying agendas that exist within the unconscious.

Emotions are strong during the week, so try and moderate your reaction. Don’t over react to stimulus that may be waiting to undermine your more constructive plans. Saturn conjunct Venus in Virgo gives an elegant and intelligent aspect to your daily life. Focus on the immediate task at hand and this will be relaxing. The mind is very restless at this time and staying focused is a way to mitigate extreme anxiety.

The Sun in Libra trine Neptune in Aquarius is partially responsible for your imagination working overtime. Dramas can become exacerbated by drawing unfounded conclusions. Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio and will remain retrograde until November 2nd. Use this time to review your plans and make changes that will benefit future developments.

The week begins with the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Virgo. So although you would like to express yourself verbally this doesn’t happen easily. The Moon in Virgo is sextile Mercury in Scorpio and this just adds to the frustration as it is impossible to explain what gives us inner peace. Perhaps it is the ability to “belong to yourself” that gives the feeling of being connected to higher influences.

Venus leaves the sign of Leo and enters the sign of Virgo so our sense of beauty starts to take on a practical aspect. Often you find commercial artists with Venus in Virgo. Uranus in Pisces in exactly square Jupiter in Sagittarius so you can expect more inner tension with regard to the conventional versus the unconventional. Just choose one and pursue it because it is very difficult to keep switching back and forth.

Saturn is conjunct the Moon so again we find a kind of suppression of our inner most feelings. We can’t expose ourselves completely because the fear of rejection is compelling. Remember that a long journey begins with just one step…don’t be afraid to take just one step.

Sun in Libra and Moon in Aquarius start the week with the advantage of clear communication. The conscious and the unconscious are in harmony. This is a good time to clear away the psychological cobwebs that have been hanging around for a while.
Mercury is in Libra, in honor of Triplicity, is a great position for this planet. Air signs like Libra, Aquarius and Gemini love to communicate. The Moon will form a trine aspect to Neptune in Aquarius, so you can assume that others are able to sense what you have in mind.

Saturn is not aspecting any planet this week so you might find it much harder to focus on projects that need your attention. You’ll have to apply yourself in order to meet any impending deadlines. Mercury the planet of communication and intelligence forms a trine to Jupiter and this will give you a broader reach by expanding your circle of influence. Beware the sextile between Mercury and Pluto which could derail your plans before you have made the necessary inroads to your objectives.

All in all, this will be a fine week for casual conversation and pleasant exchange with the human race as a whole. The fiery planet Mars is in the sign of Gemini and cooperates nicely with Mercury in Libra. This should give you an added boost of energy to carry out plans without creating too much fatigue that stems from the basic grind of life.

This week starts out with an exact square between Sun in Virgo and Mars in Gemini. This may be great for sporting events but lousy for matters where patience is necessary. There is a lot of tension driving the will and with the Moon in Scorpio this indicates that unforeseen forces are afoot. The Moon in a general way represents the masses and in Scorpio you expect that people are at the disposal of their instincts. This can create dangerous situations. The Moon is also in a trine aspect to Uranus and this may indicate some surprising news.

The Moon is square Venus so don’t expect people to be polite. If they have a point to make it will be direct and possibly not too diplomatic. However unpleasant the week turns out to be, people will be intent on removing the smoke screens and getting down to the essential truths of their existence.

The Moon will be squaring Neptune so even though a breakthrough seems possible, we are still mired in inconsistencies of values. If you know what you want it will be a lot easier for others to recognize your needs. Straighten out your own thinking before you start giving advice to others. As you can see with so many aspects to the Moon, the unconscious is very powerful and often more important than the conscious in dictating future events.

This week starts out behind the proverbial “8 ball”. With the Sun in Virgo opposing Uranus in Pisces there are powerful forces at work. Many of these forces are difficult if not impossible to direct. Uranus always brings unexpected circumstances and does not submit to the will. The best would be to take extra time planning your actions so that they will not create unbearable tension.

Moon in Leo keeps us centered in our thoughts. We make ourselves the center and everything revolves around us. Venus has just gone direct so we start to feel our emotions begin to emerge after a period of sublimation. Be considerate of others feelings as they may feel overly sensitive at this time.

Be patient as the opportunity to move ahead is forthcoming. Timing is a critical factor in obtaining your goals. Patience is the only virtue. Work conscientiously to maintain your balance during trying times. It seems that you will eventually get the cooperation of others if you don’t alienate them by impetuous behavior. People feel much more secure when they think they know what you will do next.

This week seems a little like an approaching tornado. Things are spinning around and around and this leads to a very unsettled feeling. However, your razor sharp mind should keep things from spiraling completely out of control. The Moon in Taurus sets the tone for a bullish week. But which end of the bull are you at? Beware of the bull’s weaponry, those horns can be dangerous. The Moon is exalted in Taurus so tenacity is basically a good trait.

Actions come easily and dictate the road to be traveled. There seems to be the desire to hang on to what is comfortable. Let go of situations that no longer serve your purpose. It will soon be much simpler to organize your thoughts and efforts. Still it seems that complicated circumstances surround us. It is very difficult to separate yourself from your environment.

Expand your horizons by taking on new responsibilities that will benefit you and others as well. It will prepare you for the more difficult tasks ahead. Your resistance only serves to strengthen the turbulent feelings within. Integrate time and space and any problems that you are having will solve themselves.

The Sun has just entered the sign of Virgo, a hard working and practical sign. Also, we find Mercury in Virgo as well. Therefore, a sharp discriminating mind for whatever unexpected situations may arise. Mercury is going to oppose Uranus during the week and this usually indicates a kind of confrontation with unanticipated circumstances.

Saturn is about to leave the Sign of Leo after 2 ½ years and it too will enter the sign of Virgo. Saturn is in honor of triplicity in the the Sign of Virgo so we will start to see a much more workable landscape for problems that have been looming for sometime. Greater cooperation will be achieved and solutions to many problems will be formulated. Action will be taken, although, there is still not enough clarity to push strongly ahead. It will take time to see the best path.

Emotions are kept in the background. Practical and intellectual influences are now beginning to dominate. Power drives diminish in the course of action. When to act and when not to act is the question. Many things are gained by action and many things may be gained by inaction. Instincts play a large part in the choices we make until we understand better the laws of nature.

The power drive of the human being dominates the landscape of the current planetary configuration. Objectivity got a lot of people into a lot of trouble. Now many people are looking to others to bail them out…not likely to happen. Survival of the fittest is no joke. With a stellium in Leo (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn) powerful influences vie for dominion. Actions speak louder than words.

Mars in the sign of Gemini point to the fact that actions are working at cross purposes. There is an uncertainty to our sense of stability and this will even out in time. For now we must go with the flow. Whatever judgments have been made, they have to be endured. The Moon in Scorpio makes this week a trip down the road of the unknown. Strong gut reactions can take their toll on people who have been caught unprepared.

Intensity keeps your emotions on alert. Take time to relax and give yourself some needed TLC. Remember that only you can give to yourself and only you can take away from yourself. The week ahead appears to have some unexpected events, be delighted in the changes promised.

The general public seems like they are ready for a fight. It must be the passing Mars square Saturn. Last week was exhausting and now there is little available energy at the beginning of the week. The conscious and unconscious are struggling to find harmony. There is some undiscovered secret within us that is trying to emerge.

Jupiter is going direct for the first time since April and this will change the momentum of the past several months. Finally, the benefits of personal restraint are paying off. It was the holding back and not being carried away by illusions of grandeur that has led to this rather unremarkable success. Sometimes it’s not what you do but what you don’t do. Resources that have been previously unavailable now become easy to obtain.

The semi sextile between Mercury and Venus allow a brief moment in time that some ingenious action may occur. This creates a defining moment that heart and mind work flawlessly together. Still the atmosphere lacks freedom of movement. All the elements are not represented equally thus there is an inability to adjust to changing circumstances comfortably. This will improve in the coming months.
