October 2019 Overview
We seem to be turning a corner in October, although we may not see clearly what's around it just yet. The month begins with Saturn slowly separating from the south node, breaking up one of the most challenging conjunctions of the year. Pluto stations direct in the same sign; sidereal Sagittarius; a sign that is all about order, law and truth - mostly showing up as a lack of these because of the current conjunctions. Mars and Saturn begin to move into a square aspect to each other by the end of the month and we are reminded that corners are sharp and can be used as weapons. Mars transits analytical Virgo during this 'face-off' between the planet of war (Mars) and the planet of the establishment (Saturn). This increases tensions throughout the world, between law enforcers and the population, with lots of red tape and delays to deal with. As tense as these transits are, you could use them to focus and plan your next move more deliberately.
Mercury, Venus and the Sun move through sidereal Libra in October, opposing Uranus, which reflects exciting, but unnerving, changes to come. The new Moon on October 28 is a reset point as the Sun and Moon oppose Uranus by exact degree; while transiting the Sun's exact degree of debilitation. Although a more uncertain new lunar month due to the Sun's weak placement, Venus is in Libra too and an altogether more helpful affair. Venus gives a nicer feel to the month overall, despite tense situations building around the world.
Mercury and Venus enter Scorpio by the end of the month, where Mercury will remain for most of the rest of the year. Scorpio's themes bring uncertainty and vulnerability, as Mercury stations retrograde on Halloween, while Mars and Saturn strongly aspect each other. This will likely see people taking to the streets for more than just 'trick or treats'! Jupiter's entry into the last degree of Scorpio at this time implies tentative steps forward in November, crossing over a juncture between Scorpio and Sagittarius that is, at best, a shaky new beginning, or, at worst, a complete collapse into chaos. But it is at least taking us beyond where we got stuck back in March, as a new order emerges in our lives in November; one that requires a lot of renegotiation as Mercury moves back into Libra, reviewing the terms and conditions.

2019 Timelines
As planets continue to gather in sidereal Sagittarius, the sign of 'doing the right thing', the stage is set for some big shake ups that will reshape and reorder our world in the coming years. Things will be brought up from the past, to be dealt with now; things that cannot be put off any longer. We are, however, likely to leave it until we have no choice left. This is the journey from Sagittarius to Capricorn, which begins in 2019, and takes a firmer hold in 2020.

The Astrology of brexit part 2Will Brexit finally make it over the finish line? And what impact will it have?
The initial date proposed for Brexit was March 29, 2019. Jupiter had just stationed retrograde at 0 degrees of sidereal Sagittarius back then, hovering on the brink of something new, subsequently returning to the drawing board as Jupiter re-entered Scorpio in April 2019. |
