HOROSCOPE

Black Pearl Astrology

By Daisy Finch

OCTOBER FORECAST

At the end of August, fiery Mars moved into the air sign of Gemini for a very long stay. A much longer stay than usual for the red planet. Because Mars will be in the same part of the sky for so long, the following themes will be in effect for seven months! Mars in the Mercury ruled sign of Gemini brings passion to all of our thoughts and ideas. However it’s not Mars’ gift to be the smooth talker. Although Mars doesn’t mind using words as weapons, using Mars’ energy for wiser pursuits is a better idea. The task is to have thoughtful communication and to be mindful of others before we open our mouths. On the other hand, if you are normally too shy to speak up, Mars will give you the extra courage to do so.

Mercury will be in its home sign of Virgo when it completes its retrograde October 1st and begins moving forward again. Mercury is the planet of our ideas, thoughts, information and technology. Planning and communication may have been challenging last month but should now start to flow in a forward direction. With Mercury in Virgo, it is a great time to get organized and make plans. Be mindful that Mercury will be moving slow for the first part of the month however, and will take some time to get moving again. Use your energy to stick with the plan rather than getting scattered and losing focus. On the 10th of the month, Mercury will move into Libra shifting the focus towards relationship dynamics.

With Venus moving through her home sign of Libra, there will be an added emphasis on relationships. Venus represents love, beauty, our relationships and the things we value. Make it a priority this month to really take a look at your close relationships. Are they in alignment with your values? Take advantage of this time to enjoy some lovely time with your partner. Prioritize watering the gardens of your relationships and get clear about what needs work. Making time for connection now will make the weeding that needs to be done later in the month and into November less cumbersome. Whether it be heading to the beach for sunset, taking a scenic hike upcountry, or heading out for a sweet date night dinner, make sure to put some fun date plans on the calendar. After sunset see if you and your partner can find glorious Jupiter rising over Haleakalā with Saturn a little higher overhead.
