Astrolore’s Weekly Astrology Weather: October 30, 2023 through November 5, 2023

NOTHING MORE; NOTHING LESS

I always write the blog on Saturday. With today being the most beautiful day imaginable it was hard to spend any time at all indoors. Since we are expecting snow in the coming days, it seemed important to spend the bulk of the day outdoors. Therefore, I bring you the daily posts this week, nothing more, nothing less.

MOON IN TAURUS ENTERS CANCER

Monday, October 30, 2023

With the Moon in Taurus, the week kicks off with a sense of grounded stability, offering a practical and dependable atmosphere. This is an excellent morning to focus on work, finances, and all things earthy.

However, at 11:08 AM EDT, the Moon transitions into the versatile and communicative sign of Gemini, bringing a noticeable shift in energy. The stability of Taurus gives way to a heightened sense of curiosity and a need for social interaction. As Gemini takes the stage, you may find yourself drawn to lively conversations, new ideas, and mental stimulation. This is a great afternoon for networking, brainstorming, and expanding your intellectual horizons. Embrace your inner communicator as you share thoughts with friends and colleagues.

AN UNFORGETTABLE HALLOWEEN

Tuesday, October 31, 2023

The stage is set for a remarkable and unforgettable Halloween as Venus forms a trine aspect to Uranus at 8:51 AM EDT. This lovely alignment brings a breath of fresh air to relationships and personal values, offering an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.

With Venus, the planet of love and beauty in Virgo, forming a harmonious trine aspect with Uranus, the planet of innovation and surprise in Taurus, we can expect the unexpected in practical matters of the heart. Embrace change and spontaneity in your social life. This may well lead to unusual and electrifying encounters. That certainly sounds like a great setup for an unforgettable Halloween! This is a day when the heart can unexpectedly open to new connections, or existing relationships may take surprising and delightful turns.

Look at the houses in your natal chart that hold Taurus and Virgo. The flow of excitement and innovation will involve these areas of your life.

Celebrate not only the mysterious and the spooky but also the unpredictable and unconventional. Your capacity for love and connection goes beyond the ordinary today. Be open to the magic of the unexpected, whether it’s in the form of a sudden attraction, a new friendship, or a change in your perspective on what truly matters to you. Venus trine Uranus is the encouragement you need to break free from routine and embrace the thrill of life’s delightful surprises.

FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY

Wednesday, November 1, 2023

Today unfolds with the Moon continuing its journey through the airy, curious, and inquisitive sign of Gemini, offering a day of social and intellectual curiosity. Gemini’s influence sparks a desire for exploration and learning, making it a perfect time to engage in lively conversations, exchange ideas, and gain fresh insights. This is a day when communication is terribly important, and your curiosity is piqued by all types of subjects. Whether it’s striking up conversations with friends, colleagues, or strangers, or diving into educational pursuits, today asks us to expand our knowledge and seek new experiences.

At 5:31 PM EDT, the Moon leaves curiosity behind to enter the emotional sign of Cancer, shifting the focus closer to home and your inner world. This brings a notable change as family, comfort, and emotional well-being are highlighted. With the Moon in Cancer, you may find yourself drawn to domestic matters, desiring a warm and secure atmosphere for yourself and those you love. This is a time to find solace in the familiarity of your own space, embrace self-care, and nurture your emotional connections.

EMBRACE VULNERABILITY AND STRENGTH

Thursday, November 2, 2023

As the Moon continues through Cancer today, the importance of familial emotional connections is highlighted. Embrace the significance of family bonds, be they biological or otherwise. Whether it’s spending quality time with family members, engaging in other heartwarming connections, or relishing in the comfort of home, today invites you to recharge emotionally and find comfort in your domestic realm.

Prioritize self-care, understanding that your emotional well-being plays a vital role in your overall health and happiness. Engage in activities that nurture your soul, whatever they may be. Let today serve as a reminder to slow down, embrace your vulnerability (as well as your strength), and celebrate the love and security of home and family.

SHIFTING CONSIDERATIONS

Friday, November 3, 2023

Today brings dynamic and shifting considerations, beginning with the Sun opposing Jupiter at 1:02 AM EDT. This is a powerful call for us to pay attention to creating a balance between our need for expansion and the potential for that expansion to turn into overindulgence. This serves as a reminder to exercise prudence and maintain moderation in all things. While the opposition with Jupiter can inspire grand ideas and dreams, it’s essential to ground these aspirations in practicality and consider the consequences of excess. Seek a middle path that allows for expansion without going to extremes. Look to the houses in your natal chart that hold Scorpio and Taurus in your natal chart.

Throughout the day, the Moon remains in the sensitive cardinal water sign of Cancer, providing an emotional and supportive backdrop. This keeps us tethered to the importance of self-care and nurturing our connection with loved ones.

At 6:05 AM EDT, Venus (in Virgo) opposes Neptune (in Pisces), adding a touch of mysticism and potential confusion to the day, particularly in romantic and financial matters. This aspect suggests that idealized visions and illusions may cloud and obscure your judgment. Exercise caution and ensure that decisions concerning matters of finances and of the heart are firmly grounded in reality. While Venus, the planet of love and beauty, may inspire romantic yearnings and creative aspirations, the opposition with Neptune reminds us that we can be prone to unrealistic visions and expectations. Take time for self-reflection and seek trusted confidants to help navigate the fog of confusion that may cast a shadow on the day. Look to the houses that hold Virgo and Pisces in your natal chart.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

Saturday, November 4, 2023

Today brings us to a pivotal moment in the cycle of Saturn, the planet of effort, maturity, discipline, and structure. At 3:23 AM EDT, Saturn stations to turn direct at 0 degrees Pisces. Saturn has been retrograde since it stationed retrograde at 7degrees Pisces on June 17th. If you have personal planets or points between 0 and 7 degrees of any mutable sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) this is particularly relevant in your life.

Knowing the house that holds Pisces in your chart will point to an area of your life where you are in the process of serious growth, hard work, and development. This is an area where you are assuming greater responsibility while making progress on long-term goals or projects. The project involved has probably been on the back burner since mid-June while Saturn was retrograde. Now, as Saturn moves forward, you understand your responsibilities and commitments, solidify your plans, and prepare to take concrete steps toward your goals in this area of your life. Watch the video on YouTube where Jennie and I talk about this direct station of Saturn and All Things Saturn.

The Moon is in the creative sign of Leo focusing our emotions on the importance of self-expression as well as our desire to be seen, loved, and admired.

Additionally, Mercury opposes Uranus at 12:06 PM EDT, bringing an element of unpredictability to mental states, communications, and probably the national and international news cycle. This aspect suggests that surprises and sudden shifts in perspective may arise, requiring us to be flexible and adapt to unexpected developments. Innovative ideas and unconventional thinking may lead to breakthroughs, but it’s essential to approach these changes with an open mind and a willingness to embrace new ways of thinking and problem-solving.

ASSESSMENT, ADJUSTMENT, AND RELEASE

Sunday, November 5, 2023

The Week comes to an end with Moon in Leo, encouraging us to embrace our unique talents and take center stage in some area of our lives. This is a day to express yourself with confidence and enthusiasm, whether through artistic endeavors, public speaking, or simply radiating your inner light.

At 4:37 AM EDT, the Leo Moon reaches her last quarter phase. This phase asks that we pause and reflect on the progress we’ve made over the past three weeks. The last quarter Moon is a time of assessment, adjustment, and release, leading us into the final stage of the current lunar cycle. It is time to take stock of our intentions, goals, and the actions we’ve taken to manifest them.

Today is ideal for a thorough review of your path forward, enabling you to gain insight into what has worked and what may need to be reconsidered or released. It’s an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves your growth and well-being, making space for fresh perspectives and new opportunities. Whether you’re reevaluating personal, professional, or relationship goals and aspirations, this lunar phase encourages you to make necessary adjustments to align with your evolving understanding of your desires and situation. This is a day for renewal, as you prepare yourself for the new lunar cycle that begins with the Scorpio New Moon on November 13th.
