Stargazing—Week of Oct. 7th through Oct. 13th, 2024

Oct 7, 2024 | Stargazing

This week’s energy blows like the wind, hot and cold. However, it could flow easy if you can adapt and go with the flow.

Venus (Scorpio) reaches the exact trine to Mars (Cancer) on Tuesday, October 8th. At the same time, Mercury trines Jupiter and opposes Chiron. This is an excellent day to spend with family or close friends, Don’t just talk about your plans; take action now. Intellect and emotion go hand in hand, and what you have been planning for a long time could now actually succeed. Tuesday’s uplifting vibes are filled with romance, excitement, and inspiration. Work will be interesting and successful and love could sweep you off your feet. Schedule meetings, important dates, and interviews on this day. It’s a good time for all relationship matters. If someone picks a quarrel with you, don’t let them provoke you, but don’t be tempted to make a lazy compromise either.

On Wednesday, October 9th, Jupiter begins its period of retrograde motion, which will last until the beginning of February 2025. We can deepen our experiences from the last few months and reactivate some missed opportunities during this time.

Thursday’s Grand Cross in cardinal signs brings in a challenge. Old wounds could resurface, causing emotional hurt while bruising your ego. Everyone is up for a fight and can be quite ruthless with anyone standing in their way. Best to lay low and stay away from competitors. Don’t allow anyone to drag you into any squabbles.

Your independence and strength return on Friday, removing any pain that may be lingering over from yesterday. Beauty and inspiration can be found in art, music along with human connection. Spend the day with people who are important to you.

Pluto also changes direction: on Saturday, October 12th , it will become direct in the final degree of Capricorn. The big topic of epochal changes remains at the top of the list. Saturday’s energy is cheerful, while Sunday is very changeable. You will want to be on guard for any mental power games or maliciousness going on from some manipulative people. Luckily, an abundance of goodwill is mixed in the energy, along with your intuitive insight to quickly detect any snakes in the grass.

Don’t waste your time with toxic people but basking the warm glow of a trusted friend or coworker who will bring meaning and positive vibes into your life.

Planets changing signs will always come into contact with Pluto. For example, Mercury first squares Pluto on October 13th, and then moves into Scorpio a few hours later. The desire to criticize could be very pronounced. Take time before you judge, and keep your thoughts (and words) in check.
