Astrology Transits: Big Change Energy

It’s been over a month I’ve had this combination of tendonitis in my left foot, and therefore misalignment in my right side/neck. I have not been feeling great in my body and that (of course) affects everything, I can’t get the exercise that I really need to feel healthy. I had pushed my body to the back of my priorities all year-- only to now realize that my lack of attention and care for myself is now making it impossible to catch up. As I write this I’ve come back from a retreat, with a lot to think about. I’ve had some very beautiful and very real moments being-- just myself --and alive-- on this planet as we head into this big change energy. We are in Libra season. This bittersweetness of light (I got a beautiful weekend with my friend at a yoga retreat) and dark (I’ve let my body go, I’m getting old, and I’m not going to be able to take advantage of this opportunity) can characterize Libra season. The lighting is great, and this is my favorite climate on the west coast.
There is some predominant Grand Water Trine energy that is carrying us all the way through this month, and into December. With Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn and Neptune (soon to be) in Pisces, the action in Scorpio is giving us a lot of opportunities to work stuff out. Get it out, This is a transformational time for all of us.
Healing work, as we know, is rarely easy, tidy, or smooth.. It helps move forward, without having our emotional selves dissolving our certainty.. This water trine might send us into triggers that will eventually heal us.
Like these words were a prayer to my own body, my Libran friend and I went down the steep staircase to the ocean to watch the sun set, and there we saw 3 whales breach, loudly blowing just meters away from us. These were not orcas, they were much larger, beautiful, majestic, I believe they may have been humpbacks. A testimony to a Pisces North Node, and the beauty of big, if I ever saw one, again in the beautiful sunset.

It’s Sunday October 19th and we have the conjunction of Mars and Mercury in Scorpio. Mars is in its home sign and Mercury adds understanding, learning, movement; and communication to this powerful desire and will. Whatever you want to do or get, is in focus and in motion, for good or bad. Whatever deep emotions are unburied, there is an unstoppable power and force that lies beneath where action and thought intersect. Hopefully you move with care and intention.
On Tuesday October 21st we have some significant change as Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow, helping us embark on our final retrograde of the year through Sagittarius and Scorpio. We will have a blessed ending and beginning with a sacred New Moon in Libra which is part of a T-square with Jupiter in Cancer and Chiron in Aries. This is some big initiatory energy to expand with, to have the New Moon in this way, and this grand water trine provides some emotional support. But the New Moon is also the apex of a yod with Uranus and Neptune as well, so there is some big seeding happening on this day, and personalities and behaviour might be strong. This is a Libra New Moon: this can stimulate a cycle in relationships, especially with this strong Mars/Mercury in Scorpio focus, wanting to dig things up, or let things lie.
On Wednesday October 22nd, Is a day for water. Neptune returns to Pisces, and will be at the most critical degree of 29. The emotionally supportive trine vibe is holding this, but Neptune also brings confusions, relapses, spiritual calls, delusions, victimization. Neptune brings a grand vision, and dream and Pisces this is spiritual oneness. This shift will be felt globally.
And it’s Scorpio Season. We are starting to deal with what’s beneath the surface. We focus, investigate, and are acting on it. This is some big water energy in this shift, and there could be some shadow behaviors coming out. Emotion can run high–and that can be a good thing. Hopefully we can all think about our emotional tendencies and build compassion for each other as we navigate this part of ourselves.
On Thursday October 23rd, we have a square between Jupiter in Cancer and Chiron in Aries - which could come in the form of a trigger or crisis in faith. There is this lesson mounting that started in late March 2023. It’s a lesson about our beliefs around our own trauma, wounding, or the healing of those things. Sometimes there are authentic parts of ourselves that we believe are not good enough, or they are bad, or that parts of us are not important. We may realize there is a part of us that is very important. There could be a crisis in faith about our safety, sense of being home, or creative birthing. Something may be coming through the maternal line that triggers the wound.
This healing that we can do, with all this water trine energy, is powerful.
On Friday October 24th, Scorpio Sun squares Aquarius Pluto. There will be a power play. You might find yourself understanding control and social dynamics that you partake in or find yourself swept up in. Intimate relationships can have a lot of nuance. Again we can look to this trine energy to soften, and give us intuition, compassion, but also to provide a safe space to work this out.
On Saturday October 25th there’s more to this water trine with Saturn and Mercury perfecting this healing season. We are diving back into the emotional field right now. The water support is going well into December, and this means that there is more connection, willingness to heal-- and dilation. There may be more opportunities to talk, or have important conversations. There may be the right information, or the right thought that helps you let it go. Deep compassion is hugely painful, and yet, this is what is needed.
Those whales: I am holding them in my mind’s eye.
A signal from the beautiful earth that there is ancient wisdom in the deep. We have to conceive of deep grief, loss and sadness and the ocean rolls it all in.
All of this is true, and we are birthing a new world. Your healing is necessary from a tactical level: we need you. We are going to have to orient ourselves during this messy process, but thank you in advance to all of you who are just trying to do your best out there. It's hard to be a human. To figure out how to be one and be a good one at that.
These next few months will ask us to clean out emotions more, as we are still on this precipice of change. Let's be kind and compassionate. make some room for the feelings to be there.
New Moon Blessings
