Libra – October 2020

​Happy Birthday, Libra friends!!  This month brings a massive amount of energy for you to use however you want!  With the Sun lighting up your 1st house, and in your own sign, the awesome possibilities burn bright.  This is a time for rebirth and you can maximize your new chapters by taking the time to go within and figure out what you really want.  Birthday wishes are real and you get 10 of them!  Write them down, say them out loud, and most importantly, FEEL them as if they have already come true.  You can phrase them something like this:  I am so grateful that my desire for …… has been fulfilled in a magical way!  This method employs the energy of desire that is true to the transit and focuses on the fulfillment, not the lack of, which is the absolute key to manifestation.  You can see more about this in my video, Making Wishes Come True Using Astrological Power Periods.

The 1st house that is highlighted for you now is all about what you put out into the world/how the world sees you.  Are you doing things that match how you want to be received?  If not, how can you change aspects of your life where there is a disconnect to create coherence between what you want to be seen as and how you are showing up.

Often the Sun’s movement through this house brings attention to you.  It could throw you into the limelight bringing in recognition and/or an increase in awareness of you and your work or other projects.

This house also rules your physical body so getting into or back into a daily physical routine is imperative.  Balancing mental activity with physical movement is an important way to open up to inspiration and keep yourself healthy and mentally and emotionally clear.  

At the same time as daily movement (walking, yoga, tai chi, etc.) is helpful for focus and reaching goals.  Complementary stillness of mind and body through meditation is helps to use your actions most efficiently.

Even something simple like 20 minutes of physical exercise and 5-10 minutes of daily meditation can do a world of wondrous good 🙂

If you have physical ailments, the Sun’s placement in the 1st house could bring new insights.  Feelings not felt, expressed with spiritual accountability, and cleared, turn into physical pain in your body.   Finding the balance between getting things out that you are feeling, without talking too much about the same thing over and over or participating in avoidance behaviors is your mission 🙂  Symptoms from the past may resurface for further attention.  

Having a daily way to cleanse your emotional field from things you tend to try to ‘work away’ is critical for your happiness and health. I love Marriage of Spirit by Leslie Temple Thurston exercises in Section 2 of the book for this (see below).

I also really love barefoot walking (which is also amazing for detoxifying) or holding your third eye and hands up on a tree (in colder weather that isn’t conducive to being barefoot) to help clear your field and balance your energy field.  You will be surprised at the wonders this simple practice could bring when done consistently.  The Earth frequency is very balancing to the human energy field and has been mitigated in more modern times because of the plastic and rubber shoe bottoms which block the energy from permeating the energy field in deeper ways.

Getting back to focusing on your breath will be another big piece for your best, happiest, and healthiest life 🙂

Libra and Scorpio transits bring important people and financial topics to the forefront.

Navigating the arenas of shared resources will likely come into focus at this time.

Two Full Moons this month (on October 1 and 31) bring high emotion and intense fruition. The second one (on October 31) is a BLUE MOON! The veils between worlds will be especially thin at this time and extra magic (and possibly mayhem) will be afoot.

Mercury retrograde in a water sign (Scorpio) adds to the high emotion of the month and brings things back from the past in notable ways. Mercury is retrograde from October 13 – November 3 with the shadow periods stretching beforehand starting from September 24 and afterwards until November 20. Changes in plans are more likely and sudden opportunities or other things that need or attention will likely pop up. Uncertainty and confusion can come in as things that seemed solid appear to shift. You can see more about how to make the most of and the pitfalls of Mercury retrograde in my video and blog on the topic.

Mars officially shifts into retrograde September 9 – November 14 bringing a slow down of ambitions and for some, downright laziness. Using your ingenuity to figure out ways to do get responsibilities managed could be especially rewarding now. A major thing to now about this transit is to not push anything that isn’t naturally flowing and to avoid attacking or using force towards someone or something as it is more likely to boomerang back to you. 

Mars retrograde is an amazing time for rest, vacations, stay-cations and play-cations. You will likely be glad if you choose avoid unnecessary, uninteresting, high-stress projects or ones that have demanding deadlines. Casual and flexible study or other projects are well-indicated now – basically anything that is fun for you and allows you step away from it as you are drawn. To learn more about how to roll with the natural rhythms of Mars retro, you can see my Mars retro blog here and my Mars retro video here. 

Four earth trines can bring massive material manifestation this month!  (There were also six of these in September!) Sweet outcomes from things that were challenges in the past are more likely now.

October, November, and December return us to ‘Eclipse Season’ and the final conclusions to the outer planet clashes in Capricorn that have radically changed our world will come to pass.

This time will vibrate with stress and uncertainty but also with alchemical potentials to turn lead to gold.

If your birthday is late in the sign (or if you are reading for your rising sign and have a late degree) this report will start to be relevant for you towards the end of the month, for earlier in the month you many find that the Scorpio Horoscope is more relevant for you.
