Astrology Report For October – by Dorene Carrel, September 29, 2012

October is highlighted by Saturn entering Scorpio and
Jupiter in Gemini turning retrograde in the first week. The first of a
series of harmonious trines occurs between Saturn and Neptune, which
will enhance our capacity for manifestation. We are still under the
September New Moon in Virgo with the theme of practical and efficient
endeavors, especially in the areas of work, health and service.

On October 4 Jupiter turns stationary retrograde at 16 Gemini, which
lasts until the direct station on January 30, 2013. This is a favorable
period to reflect on how we can communicate more clearly and
authentically. We can also work on improving our listening and decision
making skills, as well as how we process and use information that comes
to us from various sources.

A major two-year cycle begins when Saturn enters Scorpio on October
5. This cycle offers us the opportunity to explore the depths of our
emotions, as well as reorganize our personal finances and resources.
During this period we will be challenged to bring a new level of
commitment to our goals, especially those that one can work on with
others. The Mercury/Saturn alignment on this same day is favorable for
investigating and finding practical and lasting solutions. On the next
day Mars enters Sagittarius, allowing us to view our lives from a wider
perspective that will enable us to aim higher with intentions and goals.

On October 7 Mars will square Neptune, which can bring in elements of
confusion and uncertainty. It is best to avoid making any important
decisions for the next few days. October 8 brings an expansive
Sun/Jupiter trine that will bring a more positive outlook into our
lives. This aspect, along with a Venus/Pluto trine the next day, can
also be used to cultivate more prosperity consciousness.

On October 10 the first of a series of Saturn/Neptune trines occurs.
The next two trines occur on June 11 and July 19, 2013. This aspect
allows us to get in touch with and manifest our highest visions. Saturn
provides the organization and structure, while Neptune brings spiritual
and intuitive awareness and grace. Including the dwarf planet Ceres
makes this a grand water trine, which brings focus to the nurturing
water aspect. A Mercury/Pluto sextile this same day promotes
opportunities for a deeper experience.

The New Moon occurs on October 15 at 22 Libra 32.
It forms a favorable trine aspect to Jupiter in Gemini, which will
enhance the Libra traits of balance, equality, fairness, sociability,
harmony and peace. The shadow side is trying to achieve peace at any
price and indecision. This lunation is favorable for expanding our view
of the value and role of relationships in our personal growth. A
Mars/Uranus trine on this same day brings more energy and focus to our
goals. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “Chanticleer’s voice
heralds sunrise; a creative and joyous response to life processes.” This
suggests the process of giving voice to what is as yet not manifested,
but is on the way to manifestation.

On October 22 the Sun moves into Scorpio, bringing increased
opportunities for personal transformation and regeneration. The Sun
aligns with Saturn in Scorpio on October 25, which deepens our sense of
purpose and commitment.

On October 29 the Full Moon occurs at 7 Taurus. The
focus is on resources and being practical, patient, dependable and
loyal. The shadow side is being too stubborn and possessive. An
alignment with Saturn in Scorpio provides power and stability to this
lunation. The Sabian Symbols and keynotes for these degrees are: “The
woman of Samaria at the ancestral well; the meeting of the traditional
past and of the creative spirit pointing to the future” and “Deep sea
divers; the will to explore the hidden depths of all experiences and to
search for primordial causes.”

Ceres turns stationary retrograde on October 31 at 4 Cancer, which
reminds us of our caretaking role with each other, as well as our world
and its precious resources.

November brings a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio and a Gemini Lunar Eclipse – stay tuned!
