10/9/24- 2/4/25 Jupiter Stations Retrograde
Jupiter retrograde in Gemini carries a unique energy, blending Jupiter’s expansive, philosophical nature with Gemini’s curiosity, communication, and adaptability.
When Jupiter is Rx we:
•Reevaluate our Beliefs and Ideas
•Jupiter is the planet of growth, optimism, and wisdom, and during retrograde, it encourages internal reflection.
•Gemini, ruled by Mercury, governs communication, intellect, and social interaction. When Jupiter retrogrades in Gemini, it suggests a period of introspection regarding how you gather information, communicate, and share knowledge.
•You may question long-held beliefs or reconsider your opinions, particularly those related to learning, communication, and social engagement.
Tips for Navigating Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini:
•Revisit your communication style: Are you expressing yourself effectively?
•Reflect on the information you consume: Does it align with your values and beliefs?
•Rethink travel, educational plans, or professional growth opportunities.
•Take time to reflect on the nature of your social connections—are they helping or hindering your growth?
•Jupiter retrograde in Gemini is a time to pause and reassess how you communicate, learn, and share your ideas with others. It’s a chance to make internal adjustments that can lead to more meaningful growth when Jupiter goes direct again.
10/11/24 Pluto Stations Direct
When Pluto stations direct, the energy shifts from internal transformation to external expression. Pluto is the planet of power, transformation, and deep psychological change, and its retrograde period is often associated with introspection, shedding old patterns, and internal healing. Once it moves direct, these processes become more visible and actionable in the outer world.
Navigating Pluto Direct:
•Embrace change: Use this period to apply transformative insights in real-world situations.
•Set boundaries: Reclaim power in areas where you’ve felt powerless or dominated.
•Be open to truths: Accept any revelations or hidden information that comes to the surface.
•Let go of emotional baggage: Release the past so you can rebuild with a fresh perspective.
Pluto direct is about externalizing the transformation and growth you’ve been experiencing internally. It encourages action, reclaiming power, and moving forward with a clearer understanding of the deeper aspects of yourself and your life.
10/17/24 Full Moon in Aries @ 24* 12:28 PM PDT
The Full Moon in Aries is a powerful FM with dynamic, bold energy. Occurring in the sign of Aries, which is ruled by Mars, this Full Moon typically brings themes of action, independence, and courage to the forefront.
Balancing Me vs. We: Since Full Moons are about culmination and opposites, the Aries Full Moon invites us to balance the “self” (Aries) with “others” (Libra, Aries’ opposite sign). It’s a moment to reflect on how much we prioritize our own needs versus how we cooperate in relationships, particularly after the powerful NM Eclipse in Libra!
Navigating the Full Moon in Aries:
•Channel your energy into constructive action: Instead of acting impulsively or recklessly, focus this fiery energy on something productive. Set clear goals and take decisive steps toward them.
•Practice mindfulness: Since tempers might flare under this Full Moon,grounding practices like meditation or deep breathing can help manage impulsive reactions.
•Express your truth:If you’ve been holding back, this is a great time to speak your truth—but do so with respect and consideration for others’ feelings.
•Physical activity: Aries rules the head, and this fiery energy often needs a physical outlet. Engaging in physical activity can help release pent-up emotions and keep you balanced.This is a great opportunity to integrate all the changes over the last few weeks, release, let go, and move forward in a more balanced way!
10/22- 11/21..Sun into Scorpio
When the Sun shifts into Scorpio, it marks a period of deep emotional intensity, transformation, and a focus on the hidden or mysterious aspects of life. Scorpio is a fixed water sign ruled by Pluto (and traditionally by Mars), and it is associated with themes of power, rebirth, secrecy, and passion.
While the Sun is in Scorpio:
•Embrace emotional depth and intensity: Allow yourself to feel deeply and explore your emotional landscape.
•Be honest with yourself and others: This is a time for truth and authenticity in all aspects of life.
•Reflect on personal power: Reclaim control in areas where you feel powerless or vulnerable.
•Embrace transformation: Let go of what no longer serves you to make room for growth and renewal.
•This month is a time of profound transformation, emotional exploration, and the pursuit of authenticity. The energy of Scorpio encourages us to dive deep into the mysteries of life and embrace our own power to transform and heal.
