I. The Sun enters Scorpio & trines Saturn:

As the Sun embarks on its annual journey into the enigmatic realm of Scorpio, a fixed water sign, on October 23rd, it immediately enters into a harmonious trine with Saturn, currently in retrograde in Pisces. This celestial alignment remains active until October 26th, reaching its most potent influence on October 24th. This cosmological backdrop adds a rich tapestry to the week ahead, intricately weaving themes of depth, discipline, and introspection into the narrative of our daily lives.

With the Sun’s entry into Scorpio, a spotlight shines on issues that demand thorough investigation and unyielding authenticity. Scorpio, as a fixed water sign, urges us to plumb the emotional and psychological depths of our existence. It calls us to dig deep, discovering truths that might be unsettling but are ultimately liberating. Consequently, this period heralds a golden opportunity for engaging in meaningful self-examination and coming to grips with the labyrinthine facets of human nature.

In harmonious discourse with retrograde Saturn in Pisces, the Sun’s transit subtly suggests an undercurrent of sombre reflection. Saturn, often termed the taskmaster of the zodiac, offers a stabilising balance to the intense emotional currents of Scorpio. This trine configuration signals an era in which disciplined thought and action come to the fore. Saturn’s retrograde course in Pisces nudges us towards reassessing past deeds and philosophies, potentially revisiting previous challenges with renewed maturity or clarity.

On the communal front, Scorpio’s influence may catalyse a societal focus on topics often regarded as taboo or deeply intimate. Be it a rekindled public dialogue on social justice, prison reform, or sexual health, the call of the hour is to tackle these subjects with audacity rather than avoidance. Likewise, Saturn’s retrospective journey through Pisces encourages collective introspection, urging societies to ponder historical cycles and karmic responsibilities.

Financial and professional spheres are not immune to the nuanced effects of this celestial dialogue. Both businesses and individuals may find themselves rigorously examining contracts, ethical standards, and far-reaching aspirations. A penchant for structural realignment, revaluation of market strategies, or, for individuals, reconsideration of career objectives and dreams, might be apparent.

In interpersonal relationships, the leitmotif of ‘depth’ perpetuates. Dialogues may meander into emotionally fraught domains, and partnerships could undergo intense scrutiny. Here, Saturn’s contributory role implies that these journeys inward may result in more solid and lasting bonds, albeit punctuated by an awareness of boundaries and realistic limitations.

To sum up, as the Sun traverses through fixed water sign Scorpio and forms a trine with retrograde Saturn in Pisces, the celestial atmosphere endorses a focused and earnest approach to the intricacies of life. Whether on a personal or collective scale, this week propels us into a deep investigation of complex issues, promising insights that are as transformative as they are enlightening.

The trine will be most beneficial for Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

II. Lunar Eclipse in Taurus:

The upcoming partial lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28th at 10:24 PM (CET) is a celestial event of great significance. Not only does it offer an intricate balance of positive and challenging energies, but it also marks the end of an 18.5-month eclipse cycle in the Taurus-Scorpio axis. This is the last eclipse in Taurus for the next nine years, thereby closing a chapter and heralding the initiation of new narratives in our lives.

In astrological terms, full moons occur when the Sun and Moon are diametrically opposite each other in the zodiac. The Sun will be positioned at 5 degrees of Scorpio, while the Moon will occupy 5 degrees of Taurus. With the Moon exalted in this earthy sign, the overall energetic climate is likely to be stable, grounded, and on the whole, auspicious.

The Moon’s placement in the first decan, or one-third, of Taurus resonates with the Five of Pentacles tarot card, known as the Lord of Worry. This card often signifies a mental preoccupation with negative outcomes, rather than actual misfortune. On the flip side, the Sun in the first decan of Scorpio corresponds with the Five of Cups tarot card, which is termed as the Lord of Disappointment. This suggests the strange dichotomy of reaching one’s goals, yet feeling somewhat empty upon their achievement.

This lunar eclipse is not a monolith of negativity. Far from it. The Moon will be in conjunction with Jupiter, which generally augments a sense of appreciation and gratitude. Additionally, the Moon’s harmonious aspects (trines and sextiles) with Venus in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn, and Saturn in Pisces contribute varying degrees of optimism, harmony, and gratitude to the emotional landscape. The presence of Uranus conjunct the Moon suggests that surprises or unexpected shifts could also be on the horizon.

Meanwhile, the Sun’s conjunction with Mars and Mercury in Scorpio raises the potential for communication that is both incisive and possibly combative. Mars opposite Jupiter adds an interesting dynamic; interactions may vacillate between being overly confrontational and disarmingly genial. Picture a spirited tennis match; winning may bring a pang of guilt for defeating an opponent, but a mutual respect persists when the game concludes.

Another layer to this celestial interplay is Venus in a loose opposition to Neptune. This aspect could manifest as a rosy outlook that borders on delusional. While optimism is a quality to be cherished, here it requires a modicum of caution. There is the danger of not properly acknowledging or validating the feelings and perspectives of others, getting so wrapped up in one’s own optimistic worldview that we neglect the more nuanced emotional realities surrounding us. This could lead to a subterranean sense of disappointment or an undercurrent of emotional driftwood floating through our lives.

Finally, the eclipse will be visible from eastern Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Naturally, these parts of the world will be impacted the most.

In summary, this final lunar eclipse in Taurus for the next nine years is a complex yet poignant affair. It encompasses a wide range of emotional experiences, offering opportunities for both self-fulfilment and self-examination. As we collectively navigate these energies, we are encouraged to maintain a balanced perspective, particularly in acknowledging our victories and recognising the emotional cost that may come with them.

This Lunar Eclipse will be felt most intensely by Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, particularly if you have planets and/or important chart points around 5 degrees of these signs (give or take 1-5 degrees).
