Tip of the Week:
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio occurs on October 23 at 2:57 pm PDT. Of particular interest is the fact that the Sun and Moon are at 0 degrees Scorpio and that Venus shares the exact degree, thus a triple conjunction. Taken as a whole, the Solar Eclipse chart is packed with power and intrigue.
Mars and Pluto, which together rule Scorpio, both occupy potent positions adding to the overall tenor. Altogether, the chart indicates both an expansive theme that arouses a lot of attention and large scale events that will produce some sudden major shifts, changes and, since the focus includes Scorpio, endings. Amidst an already wide already of world changing events, this will synchronize with more to add to the long list. But these will occur on more individual/personal levels as well.
A Solar Eclipse is the truer ‘Super Moon’. While the spectacle of the Moon appearing large in the sky due to its close proximity to Earth and due to it hovering close to the horizon is pretty awesome, it is the phenomenon of eclipses which hold true power from the perspectives of Astrology.
The effects are powerful and large especially to those who have planets at or close to the degree which in this case is zero degrees. Thus people with planets or angles anywhere from 25 to 5 degrees of any sign will especially feel the effects, but the closer the aspect the bigger the effect. The effects are usually life changing in a powerful way and the influences linger until the next solar eclipse which will occur in about six months.

Aries(Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A journey into the deeper reaches of creating relationship harmony has begun. This is not stage one of this current process; more like stage ten. However, this is where the plot really begins to thicken. Your willingness is your first key to success here, following through by accessing helpful resources is the second and showing-up is the third.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A powerful shift in your relationship world is being activated now. It will prove inspiring and stir your ambitions. However, some caution is advised as not everyone or all offers presented may be as genuine and sincere as they seem. This is a call for discernment. With a bit of weeding you should come away with a bouquet of flowers.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Some noticeable shifts and changes in your overall lifestyle rhythm are rolling-in now. This is simply the next wave in a long sequence. Yet, it is one of the final phase of a larger cycle. Out with the old and in with the new is a core theme. A weave or art and culture and possibly travel too is also likely.
Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Circumstances of late are moving you to focus on new plans and creative designs for the sake of your future. You are willing to work hard and do what is required to succeed. Thinking twice and carefully considering the results of your actions is extra important to you now. Negotiation with family members and other significant players is likely.
Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)
Some powerful energies and cycles of change are gestating close to home. Despite an expansive urge to expand your scope of vision and influence, you may first have to contend with matters close to home. These may simply require a thorough cleaning, clearing and organization process. However, they may also stir fears. Find reason to be inspired and vote for yourself.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
A busy, dynamic cycle is being seeded at this New Moon. It will activate your ambitions. Yet, to succeed you may have to dig deep again to access your hidden reserves and wellspring of faith and confidence. While study and learning is featured, this cycle refers more to dynamic action. Networking and communications with other key players is implied.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Stimulating your financial flow and others sources of income is a central theme now and over the coming weeks. What are your best skills and talents? You will also feel moved to access the same in others who have the resources and leverage you need. A diplomatic negotiation process is implied; one that requires you to initiate the process.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
This New Moon in your sign will activate an important new beginning in your life. You will feel moved and inspired to take pioneering initiatives. At least your usual mode of self-expression will carry an extra measure of passion and purpose. Coupled with the fact that this is an expansive time in your public and professional life, intend to make the most of it.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
You have endured a lot over the past few years. Much of what once was has been dissolved, removed, wiped out. At best you have cleared the clutter and brought closure to a major phase in your life. Although this process will end soon, it is not over yet. Now it is important that you persevere faithfully. Like running a long race, maintain your pace through the finish line.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Your ambitions are running high. What you are focused upon depends on your situation. To succeed you may need to draw upon the talents, skills and resources of others. Achieving mutual satisfaction and success is ever the challenge and is true for you now. Work diligently to achieve this win/win balance and your success will be both material and spiritual.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
A big activation of your public and professional sphere is getting a boost now. It will synchronize with the acquisition of new skills and tools for practical use. However, success may be determined by your ability to adjust your perspective and attitude to outer realities and circumstances. Above all, focus to increase your exposure.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
A widening of your perspective, philosophy and vision has begun. It will lead you to see yourself and the world and in the world in new ways over the coming weeks and months. Trust what is no longer working. Focus on where the actual openings are obvious. Yet, do your homework and research to decipher new prospects and possibilities.
