Oct 28 Taurus-Scorpio LUNAR Eclipse Full Hunter’s Moon!
Saturday Oct 28 at 1:24 PM Pacific at 5 Taurus-Scorpio 09!
Grateful to be in your LUNAR Eclipse, Taurus and Scorpio, taking a deeper look at life!
This fabulous image was by Chris Morisette of the pretty partial lunar eclipse on Nov. 19, 2021, Houston TX! Oct 28 ’23 is also a Partial LUNAR Eclipse. Only the penumbral phase is visible NE US. A Partial has less red than the Total Eclipses, often also called Blood Moons due to their deep orange/red color.
Hope you enjoyed the Oct 14 Eclipse! If you missed it, here is NASA’s Broadcast! I watched the Broadcast because in my area the eclipse was partial and I wanted to see the Ring of Fire!
Both Scorpio Moons, Full and New, have 3 planets in Scorpio! This one technically doesn’t qualify as a stellium because Mercury is always close with Sun, so not counted, but both include Mars! Mercury and Mars are less than a degree apart, Mercury is jumping into the fire! The Eclipse three are in early Scorpio. The New Moon’s are in the early twenty degrees, 2/3s of the way through, a powerful Sun Moon Mars combo!
Our Full Moon chart is an off centered Seesaw. The Scorpio group and Venus, 4 inner planets, are on one side, the rest of the planets and Moon on the other. The one oppositional axis potently has FIVE planets, includes the Full Moon axis! Secret, often silent, Sun, Mercury and Mars are strongly opposite Moon and tell all Jupiter! If you don’t want whatever to get out, do not tell anyone. Remember, Full Moons are about illumination, seeing in the dark, an aha moment… Tell no one and don’t betray yourself or others by your actions.
Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Hunter’s Moon, Sun opposite Moon! Only the penumbral phase is visible NE US.
- Sun in Scorpio puts Light in a Dark place! Revelation comes from and to an inner place. Out of the dark comes a magical birth. Sometimes there is wild celebration at the emergence, other times there is total silence in awe of the event. There is often a mixture of pain and joy! Birthing can take lifetimes, an accumulation of experiences, to the release. It can take minutes to days! Either way, there is an awakening of Spirit at a new level. Some lives there are many births, others there appear to be none. There is a simple maintenance, a steady heartbeat that calms us to be able to go forward, deeply absorbing, becoming the profound meaning of the knowledge.In daily business, Scorpio is important financial matters, gives long term Love and loyalty – at times jealous, cleans up and does profound healing, instinctively uses herbs and medicine. Scorpios are ninjas that glide invisibly right through the daytime, enjoy danger and using their wits, enjoy their sexuality. Research is prime. They are often involved with the military, police, emergencies, hospice. They often rescue from abuse, slavery, discrimination, drugs. They at times can be on the bad side, be dangerous themselves. Either side, they carry secrets, whether discretion that could save your life, or by being careful pick their own way to survival. They can be inscrutable and be the best poker players, no tells. They may have issues themselves, or have people in their lives who have strong issues. They can be helpers, or may suffer long and deeply due to the extent of a situation. Do give as you can to help the persons with difficulties, and/or the loved ones and caregivers doing their best to help. Burn out is a matter. Support them to get time out and rest.Sun is with Mercury and Mars, more ready to take action than usual! Mercury has a reservoir of ideas carefully scanned and sorted for priority use and timely revelation. He wants to do the journalism, follow the money, looks at the root cause! Mars wants to start a ruckus that gets attention and exposes the misuse of funds, illicit deals, political secrets, sneaky sex. Mercury is concerned, more logical, but Mars is bold and daring. Yet they are so close, mind and action are one! Mercury conjunct Mars in Scorpio is SPICY! Aromatic and mind boggling! Clever together, they could appear on the front page, arousing further investigation! Mercury has ideas and Mars can’t help but want to play them out. Perfect accomplice, LOL!
- Moon in Taurus is wiggling her toes in the sand, feeling the creek side mud squish between them… Ah… Feeling the Earth is calming, grounding, centering. She can release her troubles. She loves landscaping, gardening organic veggies for the family right at home. Some stay where they are born their whole life, married to the same person. A strong sturdy peaceful home means a lot. She is generally steadfast, but worries when simple systems are upset, or things get lost or the pantry is low when a storm is expected. Steady income, dependability are important. Body connection, a hug, spa days really help. A food lover, they can be overweight, but physically they can be super strong! Moon in Taurus can be so beautiful, feminine, kind and patient. They think thoroughly, ponder without hurry, feel what they think, allow due process, no snap judgments. They can be a bit possessive…don’t always make changes easily.Mercury is opposite Jupiter at 8:44 PM. Mama Moon catches up with Jupiter 11:37 PM! Mercury sees local while Jupiter, even though in local Taurus, has a longer and broader vision. Mother Moon wants to see our Earth properly tended, and Jupiter had big plans to do just that. Mercury and Mars can see all about that and give financial reason why it is important. They will extract important points from Moon and Jupiter and start mapping out and fill in the details of their story. It will be a giant story with images to prove it! Moon will conjunct genius Uranus the next day at 5:36 PM! There is likely to be an electrifying response!Jupiter in Taurus is still retrograde, but will be coming forward to conjunct Uranus April 20, 2024! WOW! That will be some experience! Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen by then, be preparing for it even now. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Jupiter will turn forward Dec 30. A lengthy one degree station will be Dec 6 through Jan 24, 2024. Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 5 and 6 degrees will be activated. In that time, some deeper principles will take root with you, securing a strong foundation, worthy of your continued care as they develop further. Jupiter is lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value. Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction. One of the things we can do is manage our food production choices in context of coming weather. Another is to mitigate temperature changes. Jupiter rules heat! See more: 2023-24 Aspects and other Sign Changes!Uranus is in the 3 outer planets higher consciousness sequence! Venus in Virgo, the ingénue Virgin, lovely and graceful, has got some elegantly valuable systems lined up and is trine, the most favorable aspect, with Uranus! They will have their facts straight and workable systems, how to do it, easily adjustable to fit specific needs and outcomes! Uranus will dazzle with cutting edge ideas that will keep people thinking for weeks, months, even years! It may not be an obvious new beginning. Several fronts will be getting started at the same time. But it will add up as time goes along. When we total up months later, we will realize what a wellspring this time was! Time to put our heads together.
- You see how different Sun and Moon are, not just as different signs, but this time with the companions they are traveling with. With Moon next to Jupiter in Taurus, there may not be extensive traveling, more like a ‘staycation, ‘right?! But in thoughts, mind and intention, leaps will be made! Jupiter has farsighted perception. Mercury and Mars with Sun are speeding things up! These ‘fixed’ stable signs are in the mood to get going and Venus is cheering Uranus to let loose his exciting genius!Moon always comes along to support Sun from the opposite sign every month except sometimes February. She may be across the chart from Sun, but she’s his mate and lets him know what’s going on out there when at their greatest distance. He has the least ‘control’ of her then and she is more free to express herself without his influence. She cares, but their difference is more clear then, more pure self expression on both sides. Sun is more independent without her mothering. Doing things himself makes him know his own powers better. He sees Moon for who she is without his wanting to be sure she is ok. And she’s more independent. They realize they need to let go some and let live as is. They miss each other too…
Taurus – Scorpio is the axis of our bodies, desires and passions. Of the Earth, Taurus is the rich valley soils, alluvial fans and Scorpio the great rivers like the Mississippi and Columbia Rivers that are formed at the bottom of the fans. Taurus-Scorpio both have to do with monies. Taurus is my money, in pocket. Scorpio is our money, more money, shared mortgages, corporations, bank loans, insurances, etc. Taurus would rather own their own business while Scorpio goes the corporate game. Scorpio as a water sign is way more flowing than earthy Taurus. Taurus is more traditional in relationships. Scorpio is more likely to have prenups and an intricate will. Scorpio is more likely to cheat, but is also ’til death do us part.’ Taurus is generally more organically healthy, uses calming, rest, slow indigenous medicinal plants. Scorpio is the fastest self healer of critical injuries on the planet! He hires the most merciless physical therapist along with a remarkable psychotherapist working the often painful twists of mind and psyche that go along with the injuries, PTSD! He’s a Shamanic Psychic.
Saturn at ZERO Pisces is still retrograde, remains in his one degree station that lasts until Dec 8! He comes close to going back into Aquarius, all the way back to 0 Pisces 31, but does not go back into Aquarius! He is standing in place anchoring the essence of Pisces matters, updating, strengthening the primary dream foundation at this zero point. Those of you with chart factors at 28-29 Aquarius or very close to 0 and 1 degrees Pisces will be activated. An arbitrary one degree choice may vary for some of you. Some will feel it sooner, at two or three degrees depending on your personal chart. Stations are significant points in a planet’s voyage, a place of absorbing, focus, learning the depth and meaning deeply, steeping in the doing, developing an alliance with a particular place of perception, anchoring and protecting that point. There is an inception and becoming one with a point of reference. Those are a few ways to see it, you may have additional ideas.
I see Saturn as harnessing the insights and psychic ability of Pisces, the ability to understand something that was unknown, develop a personal form of Spirituality that brings you to your knees and exhilarates your Soul! At the earth level we have seen swarms of floods and powerful water events. I want to see ways for Saturn to harvest water significantly, to help take care of our oceans, reduce plastic and poisonous pollution, to harvest safely without harming other fish, dolphins and whales, to harvest cleanly and more abundantly. See more!
Chiron is retrograde at 16 Aries the sign of independence. Venus, particular in Virgo, has just passed him inconjunct. She is more quiet in Virgo than he is in Aries. He seems a little pushy, not listening to her much, a bit brusque and a tad loud this time. She is off in her own world, quite busy and has less time than usual. He has urgent things to do. Each was likely to have shared the priority of the time. She told him about working with Uranus. He encouraged her to stay steady with her work and take good care of herself, to call him if needed. She felt a genuine thanks and gave him a hug. Neither one is much into thinking about a relationship right now. Understanding each other, it was a quick brush by and on they both went.
Pluto is back in Capricorn until Jan 20, 2024. See more about this period of the 246 year Capricorn-Aquarius transition. There is great strength in hard won, tried and true knowledge. On that foundation Aquarian r/evolution makes more useful solid advances, securely implemented, maintained by the timeless high standards Capricorn has stood for. Capricorn is the sign of time and knows instinctively when a shift is in progress. Ruling borders and boundaries, he is a Gateway specialist! He is a mentor, always guiding and guarding the newbies. Aquarius is at the cutting edge, on totally new ground and can use all the help he can get. Many Aquarians have their Mercurys in Capricorn and many Capricorns have their Mercurys in Aquarius! They live this transition all their lives. They will be there for us. While the rest of us are scrambling, it’s business as usual for them.
The three outmost higher consciousness planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, are still in their sextiles/trine pattern. Many events are making world headlines. They are taking it to the next level, meaning these are considered higher consciousness planets! This combination of the three outmost planets aspecting each other this way is quite rare and will continue through 2028.
They are sextiling – opportunities – each other and Uranus in Taurus has moved into trine with Pluto while Pluto is retrograde back in fellow earth sign Capricorn. Jupiter is closer to his conjunction with Uranus, and many are already sensing the amazing possibilities. But for now, Jupiter is in station about to retrograde. They will be exact April 2024. The threesome is holding in earth and water signs until Pluto makes his shift back into Aquarius again Jan 2024. That will leave Uranus and Neptune keeping the dream electric and lively! Neptune evolves just like all the planets do. With Uranus, even Neptune develops a new level of awareness. At first it may seem a bit prickly, but as he gets used to it, it’s more sparkly! In fact, it’s all quite intriguing.
When she first heard about these three together, a friend said OMG, that sounds destabilizing and slightly terrifying! And it can be, depending on your point of view and climate changes. Sometimes destabilizing can be a chosen technique, done on purpose in a good way, like the demolition of an old dangerous building. At the same time space is made to accommodate opening the good gates of the future, an amazing rebuild, making a park, a hospital, library, low income senior housing. With climate disasters, entire areas are devastated. Yet even during anger and grief, there is the seeing of a significant, even profound, choice of rebirth of much better ways. In time, surprisingly, the whole experience brings gratitude. As Rumi says: “Earth turns to Gold in the hands of the Wise.” Here is our big chance to make it so!
Uranus sextile Neptune
Uranus has been within a 5° sextile with Neptune since July ’23, and will be for five months through Dec 16, 2023! Uranus is the last Air planet, the planet of the heavens, flight and electronics – the internet and networking. The Awakener has humanitarian inclinations and collective intent. There is maximum exchange of information, extraordinary invention, as genius is released planet wide! He changes, adds dimension to Neptune’s way of seeing and content of his visions! That Uranus is grounded in Taurus, he keeps the intentions sensible and steady. Things may not be so ‘loud.’ More gets done since undistracted energy is concentrated, applied right where needed, and doesn’t quit until completed.
Neptune, the most adaptable planet, quickly takes on the Uranian continuum of skills, adeptly commingles it with his own psychic seeing! He gives remarkable tips that bypass super logic and gets us there without explanation. Astonishing as always was and will be! There are leaps beyond our ken, but we arrive, suddenly transported, functioning in a way we didn’t know before, but is right as rain. It seems like a miracle, but is really normal. In the face of disasters, Neptune has unexpected resilience, shows the strength of the Soul. Healing knows no bounds.
At times we get lost in the glory and excitement of such transitions. We get enamored with the genius of it all. But Neptune reminds us it’s not just what we can do but the meaning of it all. We take a few still moments to honor our original inspiration, the commandments of our Soul, the depth of caring, need for change that started our pilgrimage.
After Dec 16, 2023 they again pick up their less than 5° sextile June 14, 2024 through Feb 13, 2025! This second set is eight months, making a total of 13 months! Neptune again leaves Uranus behind, entering ARIES Mar 30, 2025, never making the exact sextile while Neptune is in Pisces! Yet all that time, they are functioning together, progressively activating 19 through 28 degree factors in our charts! They are awakening us, establishing a foundation, setting the stage for the exact aspect sets to come.
Aug 28, 2025 they start their two year set of EXACT sextiles. It is the first of five aspects but in Gemini and Aries! See more!
With the outmost planets, this pattern of coming close then moving apart is normal. It gives time to get to know each other in context of the type of aspect and the signs they are in. The can see how to protect themselves if necessary, how to help each other as possible.
Uranus trine Pluto
Uranus trine Pluto are also in a pre exact aspects prelude period. Currently, since Uranus is sextile Neptune, and Neptune is sextile Pluto, Uranus is trine Pluto though technically not quite within the 5° or less zone. Since around the end of July, or earlier, Uranus and Pluto have been considering each other. Uranus slows to his stand still station Aug 28. Pluto is retrograding getting closer by degree with Uranus. They get closest Sep 10/11 then gradually part further. But once aware of each other, they can still watch…plus Neptune, between them, has his eye on both and they are both watching Neptune. It’s a bit intricate and it isn’t done yet.
There are two more close periods, seeding and getting used to the connection. They don’t make the first EXACT trine until July 17, 2026, while Pluto is in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini! Like Uranus sextile Neptune, this too is a 5 time set of aspects and takes two years to complete on May 9, 2028.
While Neptune is midpoint between them he can act as a buffer. Pluto in Capricorn is set in some of his ways. Uranus is the planet of change and evolution while Capricorn is the guardian of the status quo, elders. Pluto doesn’t want anyone messing with his relationships, especially with money. But, they are nevertheless, trine, likely to find ways to work with each other. Uranus in Taurus is more sensible, but certainly not the same. His advocacy for individual’ rights includes money, but from the opposite side of the table. Pluto is corporate money, the ruler of Scorpio, OUR money. Taurus is MY money. It will take a little doing to bridge this difference. Both are strong and both can be stubborn. Since Neptune in Pisces is known for his empathy and understanding, his long bond with Pluto, he may lean a bit more to Pluto’s side – the fundraiser side.
Neptune sextile Pluto 82 years!
Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032, there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period completing the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.
As planets travel for long times together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!
This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto first entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts!
You can see the potency of this three outer planet grouping. The harmony of these planets draws us past our daily experience. We are encountering great principles working together. Uranus is humanitarian, the Awakener. Neptune is the dreamer of the vastitudes, spiritual Master. Pluto awakens the Kundalini, the fire at the base of the spine, burns away the dross, aligns the chakras and we are ON! When Pluto is in Aquarius, Uranus’s sign, the two are combined as one, unimaginable electric life force! Immense possibilities. See more about the approaching April 2024 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! This aspect alone will jump the group a few light years ahead!
Grateful to be in your LUNAR Eclipse, Taurus and Scorpio, taking a deeper look at life!

Nov 13 Scorpio New Moon!
Monday Nov 13, 1:27 AM Pacific at 20 Scorpio 44!
Relationships and Finances are shifting quickly! Mars is activating all the Higher Consciousness Planets: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, the New Moon and Nodes!
What a beauty! A waxing crescent moon is photographed from the International Space Station during an orbital sunset as the station flies 268 miles (431 kilometers) above the Pacific Ocean, east of New Zealand.
See it at NASA
The New Moon has a strongly defined axis made by the Scorpio mini stellium Moon, Sun and Mars at 20 and 22° opposite Uranus at 21°! They are coming along to activate Neptune by trines and sextiles. Neptune in turn is making another of the long term (82 years) sextiles with Pluto! Pluto is Scorpio’s ruler, so in a way, we have come full circle. Pluto in turn is shifting into Aquarius, so our New Moon leads, connects six planets, in finalizing foundations and preparing us to make a smooth transition.
All the planets are to one side of the New Moon axis while Venus is by herself on the other side. But Sagittarius Mercury is sextiling her, so happy to find ways to connect different factions, getting the Word to both and all! Venus in Libra, her own second sign, is keenly observant, intuitively skilled at seeing how social and cultural differences are assets! She puts them together and soon they are signing contracts, even marriage contracts! Venus assesses what is valuable, whether it is intrinsically beautiful – heart and Soul, if there is true love. She can be kind, introduce us to the best of the best, bless us with canny appreciation. She can be wanting this and wanting that, to have a wonderful relationship worth the money, LOL! She can be very charming and attractive – a model, could be the artist, make beautiful designs, run a fine dating service, yet not want to work. Being pampered may be her goal, and that’s ok. In the opportunity aspect with Mercury in Sagittarius, traveling and education may be her loves. She is culturally social and can get bored with ordinary life. Look further, keep a broad mind! If she gets snobby and judgmental, too spoiled, cleverly opportunistic, oops. There are times a good aspect can be used well for not so nice purposes. Generally, though, this one is a sweetie.
Mercury is often quite persuasive, and in Sagittarius you don’t even realize you have been converted. It is so fun chatting, the big ideas sound so natural! All of a sudden you have learned a lot! Sometimes it is the prof at school, or just a great story of a real experience with a few exaggerations! But still, you got a new perspective and feel ready to go try some for yourself! A trip or a tour may be proposed. The races, a casino, may tempt you! Some super health tips may improve your outlook and you are ready to go! Imports and exports catch your eye and you think you might open a mini roadside motel with a gift shop of exotic treasures. Oh, yes! Who knows what will happen?!
The Scorpio Stellium trines Neptune! Both in water signs there is a comfortable flow between them. Mother Moon is supportive to both Father Sun and Neptune. She brings a deep perception of the inner workings of female and male, children and parents. She heals hurt Spirits, walks in dangerous places with natural confidence, is trusted to keep delicate confidences. Oceanic Neptune is impressed, and lends a tidal hand to help her ebb and rest, flow and flush away the pains of the Soul. Natural cycles are reestablished. There may be financial restitution, a reunion with spiritual principles, release of obsessions like drugs/alcohol, surrender to a more healthy life, self respect. There will be powerful people on this honorable Path.
- Father Sun, backed by Mama Moon, shines brighter in the darkest places. He feels her intuition and more carefully picks his steps. His courage is commendable. He takes their messages to those who need it most and often want to hear it the least. Each unique case has its own challenges, and Scorpio is adept at assessing how to proceed. They can do superb fundraising that can bring tears to the toughest resistor. They have been there in places of the most pain and suffering. It’s real. Healing is one of the most profound experiences, having it and giving it. You can take care of yourself, can allow and give help. Your life gets into more normal circumstances. Finances and relationships improve. Let it be. And, just because you got healed, it wasn’t always easy. Healing can be hard work.
- Mars is the hot potato right in the Scorpio ovens! He has been leading the way, but the New Moon has caught up and they are warming in his fire! He has scouted the territory, found the safest paths and places, helped frequently in dangerous conditions, maybe disaster rescue as well as being at the frontline, first responder and investigative work. Mars in Scorpio wants you to be financially and physically strong, independent, a leader! Scorpio is resourceful, can live alone successfully, often leads from within or behind, the secret author using a pseudonym. Time to update your will. His indomitable spirit is inspiring. Some kind of Initiation is likely. His charisma draws a group of loyal followers.Moon’s Nodes? Part of the importance of the Node’s events, Libra-Aries are being able to be independent, a leader, AND work together, each contributing their own strengths. Moon’s Nodes are considered to be somewhat karmic, to connect concepts of mistakes of the past/past lives with making amendments balanced by the opposite principles of the opposite sign, of current times. It is not always easy within ourselves, because the soul has its memories, and we, and others involved, have fears, angers and perversions, chronic behaviors that need to be faced and overcome. Do have patience with each other and yourself. Though you may be ready to make good, the other may not be able to receive your offering yet, and vice versa.The Nodes are always generally retrograde and so is this one. North Node in Aries, independence is being called for to balance old make-everybody-happy ways. This is especially true this time because Mars, the independent Aries planet is inconjunct. Yet, Mars is in Scorpio, a deep relationship sign. It’s a contradiction because Aries/Mars often don’t marry. So a partner has to let them be independent. It won’t be exactly a traditional relationship. Inconjuncts have an awareness of each other that pulls them a bit off center. It’s a little twitchy, itchy, can be yay or nay, provocative or pushes away. Aries generally likes things forthright; Scorpio has his secrets. Aries does love challenges. Aries North Node is trying to figure out whether to approach sacred ground, or skitter away, but their mutuality makes them both curious… Mars is moving forward to meet him too. There are glances, could be a brief encounter of some kind. Mars in Scorpio knows ways to get forward that are not usually known. Could save the North Node some time, make him stronger. NN may encourage Mars to come forward, shed the burden of some of the secrets he has carried so long… We’ll see.Mars is the action planet. The trine with great Neptune gives him a perfect cause he can fight for. Neptune can be astonishing yet still be unknown and the quiet meditator, mentor. Yet they are also believers, have their own kind of charisma leading the Saints! Mars is certain in this case, to lend a hand and raise the goal to glory! However, if the message is a sham, he will be equally determined to bring it all down, exposed for the fraud it is! Mars can lead the fundraising if things pass his specs. New sources will be found and may include international over the ocean assistance. Dreams will come true. As powerful as Mars is, he may be a shy savior not wanting the public light. If you offend him, he may make you feel the consequences, so be careful to do the right thing. He, like us all, needs love and respect. Ask first if introducing him is ok.Mars has been opposite Uranus, igniting a mighty rumbling, advocating further freedoms and change! He’s a potent little devil in Scorpio, no way to ignore him! He pulls the cat’s tail, even the giant’s, and no one sees him do it. If he’s caught, he’s admired for his clever courage and potency. Everyone considers his ideas. Mars in turn is changed merely by viewing the big planet’s broad range. Mars realizes he can reach much further by picking his targets, making connections that have those worldwide partnerships, supporting their efforts. He takes his own power in hand and multiplies its effectiveness. He’s actually rather electrified by this encounter. His synapses are speeded up! Feels good, even a bit giddy! Better than a carnival ride! From Nov 8 through 14, be a little careful. There is a new level of energy we are getting used to. Those of you with chart factors 16 to 23° are likely to feel it the most.Mars is also in aspect with the third of the higher consciousness planets, sextile Pluto! Though they are 6° apart numerically, there is a strong connection already because Mars is in Pluto’s sign Scorpio! They too are drawn to each other like the Node and Mars. The Mars Pluto sextile will be exact Nov 21, the last day of Scorpio and 2 days before ThanksGiving. My guess is holiday preps will be intense, invites and arrivals will have their own challenges but will likely work out. Mars in Scorpio has his own way of pushing the river but not always obvious or easy to read even if questioned, or especially if questioned! He likes to lead from behind. Pluto in Capricorn is busy doing end of year things, working out matters concerning parents, fathers and elders. He may need to deal with real estate, housing if moving, winter repairs, and among all these, needing to be ready for holiday sales plus gifts! He wants things settled. At the personal level, Mars wants to heal psychologically, clean up relationships, establish new sources of income. Pluto in Capricorn wants to clear business relationships, work out financial details, any security matters or building issues regarding weather. He is only too aware of his immanent shift back into Aquarius Jan 20. Scorpio and his planet Pluto are a bit obsessive, all-nighters not uncommon. There is so much to do at this time of year, it may be difficult to get an audience… Sometimes fast mover Mars is hard to pin down.
The Scorpio Stellium is not trifling when opposite Uranus the ChangeMaker! Uranus in Taurus will be there long after the New Moon, so as feisty a set as they may be, a little arrogance won’t do them any favors. But it’s fun to see what might happen, LOL. A little wild party may be just what the Dr ordered! They will be changed by visiting the Awakener Uranus. Scorpio can brew up a mess, but Uranus is thunder, lightning, earthquakes, plane disasters, that can affect the lifetimes of many more. 84 year cycle Planetary Networker Uranus sees them and Mars as a passing phenomena. They remind him its not just his money, though in Taurus he thinks of money as the money of the Collective, he being the Aquarian banker planet. But, Scorpio really is about our money, big money – the great banks, grants, loans, insurances, real estate, corporations. They are the underpinnings to collective money for world causes/disasters, remediation. Mergers can be potent. If things get out of hand and the finances are abused, never forget David and Goliath. Mars can be a small fighter by comparison, but one shot to the bull’s eye changes everything. If they work together for the planet, a few well placed viral words on the Aquarian internet can shift billions of people’s thinking in hours.
Already we have two of the three outer planets involved. Next is about Uranus sextile Neptune and Neptune sextile Pluto! This sequence is important because Pluto is making his 246 year shift from Capricorn to Aquarius! Here is all about it!
___________________
The three outmost planets, the higher consciousness planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, are still in their sextiles/trine pattern. Many events are making world headlines. They are taking it to the next level, meaning these are considered higher consciousness planets! This combination of the three outmost planets aspecting each other this way is quite rare and will continue through 2028.
They are sextiling – opportunities – each other and Uranus in Taurus has moved into trine with Pluto while Pluto is retrograde back in fellow earth sign Capricorn. Jupiter is closer to his conjunction with Uranus, and many are already sensing the amazing possibilities. But for now, Jupiter is in station about to retrograde. They will be exact April 2024. The threesome is holding in earth and water signs until Pluto makes his shift back into Aquarius again Jan 2024. That will leave Uranus and Neptune keeping the dream electric and lively! Neptune evolves just like all the planets do. With Uranus, even Neptune develops a new level of awareness. At first it may seem a bit prickly, but as he gets used to it, it’s more sparkly! In fact, it’s all quite intriguing.
When she first heard about these three together, a friend said OMG, that sounds destabilizing and slightly terrifying! And it can be, depending on your point of view and climate changes. Sometimes destabilizing can be a chosen technique, done on purpose in a good way, like the demolition of an old dangerous building. At the same time space is made to accommodate opening the good gates of the future, an amazing rebuild, making a park, a hospital, library, low income senior housing. With climate disasters, entire areas are devastated. Yet even during anger and grief, there is the seeing of a significant, even profound, choice of rebirth of much better ways. In time, surprisingly, the whole experience brings gratitude. As Rumi says: “Earth turns to Gold in the hands of the Wise.” Here is our big chance to make it so!
Uranus sextile Neptune
Uranus has been within a 5° sextile with Neptune since July ’23, and will be for five months through Dec 16, 2023! Uranus is the last Air planet, the planet of the heavens, flight and electronics – the internet and networking. The Awakener has humanitarian inclinations and collective intent. There is maximum exchange of information, extraordinary invention, as genius is released planet wide! He changes, adds dimension to Neptune’s way of seeing and content of his visions! That Uranus is grounded in Taurus, he keeps the intentions sensible and steady. Things may not be so ‘loud.’ More gets done since undistracted energy is concentrated, applied right where needed, and doesn’t quit until completed.
Neptune, the most adaptable planet, quickly takes on the Uranian continuum of skills, adeptly commingles it with his own psychic seeing! He gives remarkable tips that bypass super logic and gets us there without explanation. Astonishing as always was and will be! There are leaps beyond our ken, but we arrive, suddenly transported, functioning in a way we didn’t know before, but is right as rain. It seems like a miracle, but is really normal. In the face of disasters, Neptune has unexpected resilience, shows the strength of the Soul. Healing knows no bounds.
At times we get lost in the glory and excitement of such transitions. We get enamored with the genius of it all. But Neptune reminds us it’s not just what we can do but the meaning of it all. We take a few still moments to honor our original inspiration, the commandments of our Soul, the depth of caring, need for change that started our pilgrimage.
After Dec 16, 2023 they again pick up their less than 5° sextile June 14, 2024 through Feb 13, 2025! This second set is eight months, making a total of 13 months! Neptune again leaves Uranus behind, entering ARIES Mar 30, 2025, never making the exact sextile while Neptune is in Pisces! Yet all that time, they are functioning together, progressively activating 19 through 28 degree factors in our charts! They are awakening us, establishing a foundation, setting the stage for the exact aspect sets to come.
Aug 28, 2025 they start their two year set of EXACT sextiles. It is the first of five aspects but in Gemini and Aries! See more!
With the outmost planets, this pattern of coming close then moving apart is normal. It gives time to get to know each other in context of the type of aspect and the signs they are in. The can see how to protect themselves if necessary, how to help each other as possible.
Uranus trine Pluto
Uranus trine Pluto are also in a pre exact aspects prelude period. Currently, since Uranus is sextile Neptune, and Neptune is sextile Pluto, Uranus is trine Pluto though technically not quite within the 5° or less zone. Since around the end of July, or earlier, Uranus and Pluto have been considering each other. Uranus slows to his stand still station Aug 28. Pluto is retrograding getting closer by degree with Uranus. They get closest Sep 10/11 then gradually part further. But once aware of each other, they can still watch…plus Neptune, between them, has his eye on both and they are both watching Neptune. It’s a bit intricate and it isn’t done yet.
There are two more close periods, seeding and getting used to the connection. They don’t make the first EXACT trine until July 17, 2026, while Pluto is in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini! Like Uranus sextile Neptune, this too is a 5 time set of aspects and takes two years to complete on May 9, 2028.
While Neptune is midpoint between them he can act as a buffer. Pluto in Capricorn is set in some of his ways. Uranus is the planet of change and evolution while Capricorn is the guardian of the status quo, elders. Pluto doesn’t want anyone messing with his relationships, especially with money. But, they are nevertheless, trine, likely to find ways to work with each other. Uranus in Taurus is more sensible, but certainly not the same. His advocacy for individual’ rights includes money, but from the opposite side of the table. Pluto is corporate money, the ruler of Scorpio, OUR money. Taurus is MY money. It will take a little doing to bridge this difference. Both are strong and both can be stubborn. Since Neptune in Pisces is known for his empathy and understanding, his long bond with Pluto, he may lean a bit more to Pluto’s side – the fundraiser side.
Neptune sextile Pluto 82 years!
Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032, there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period completing the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.
As planets travel for long times together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!
This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto first entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts!
You can see the potency of this three outer planet grouping. The harmony of these planets draws us past our daily experience. We are encountering great principles working together. Uranus is humanitarian, the Awakener. Neptune is the dreamer of the vastitudes, spiritual Master. Pluto awakens the Kundalini, the fire at the base of the spine, burns away the dross, aligns the chakras and we are ON! When Pluto is in Aquarius, Uranus’s sign, the two are combined as one, unimaginable electric life force! Immense possibilities. See more about the approaching April 2024 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! This aspect alone will jump the group a few light years ahead!
___________________
Saturn is now finishing his station, turned forward at 0 Pisces. His one degree station that lasts until Dec 8! He retrograded all the way back to the beginning of Pisces. Saturn is reviewing the very foundation of Pisces to be sure Pisces is weathering the storms, able to stand true to his karmic and dharmic intentions. Saturn knows how to help when there are disenchantments, remediation needed after disasters. He knows how to walk you back to the organic bedrock of the Soul and connect you with others who are dedicated and will shelter you when you need it. Saturn has had a few tough times of his own. He has learned his building skills by experience and is efficient, often wise. Pisces enjoys wandering, but there are times we need him to be present and realistically leading our Spirits. Saturn reminds him of his priorities. Pisces has lived the aeons, but there are timely concerns as significant changes like Pluto into Aquarius happen.
I see Saturn as harnessing the insights and psychic ability of Pisces, the ability to understand something that was unknown, develop a personal form of Spirituality that brings you to your knees and exhilarates your Soul! At the earth level we have seen swarms of floods and powerful water events. I want to see ways for Saturn to harvest water significantly, to help take care of our oceans, reduce plastic and poisonous pollution, to harvest safely without harming other fish, dolphins and whales, to harvest cleanly and more abundantly. See more!
Chiron is fast at 16 Aries. He’s leading the way and even while retrograde, he’s still faster than average! New, the latest, remedies are being delivered. He gives you the information on how to use them, but jot it down quickly and ask your questions because he’s already gone on to the next client/patient! He’s racing against time because so many critical things are happening. We must be well to contribute our part. He’s a rights fighter for a strong mind and body to represent our Spirit/Soul. Chiron is ready for Initiation, exploration, quick learning! He goes places no one has gone before. Courage is impressive. Stand tall! Independence, thinking for yourself, quickly tracking reality, is a strong plus!
In Taurus Jupiter is strong as a Bull, an oxen, a fabulous draft horse! They are good natured, steady, capable. Jupiter has faith and confidence that carries him through long term projects, to meaningful successes. Taurus is no quitter. Just don’t get in their way! Jupiter is well partnered with Taurus. Taurus is not afraid of hard work, is loyal and dedicated. Jupiter is a strong student and teacher looking for perspective and a useful broader truth. Taurus would rather stay home, but will take Jupiter on his back cross country, the tractor to the remote area needing checking on, or on the train overland far away. He sees through Jupiter’s big wide eyes and changes some of his opinions. Taurus has such patience and common sense that Jupiter can calm down, take the time it takes, and feel safe right where he stands. No need to run away. If the two of them together get too stubborn for words, it may take a powerful event to get them to shake it off, let go, consider other possibilities. Just show them how it is better, especially the consequences and losses if not taken advantage of. Be ready to prove your point. If Taurus looks at you sideways, you know you still have some work to do.
Jupiter in Taurus is still retrograde, but will be coming forward to conjunct Uranus April 20, 2024! WOW! That will be some experience! Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen by then, be preparing for it even now. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Jupiter will turn forward Dec 30. A lengthy one degree station will be Dec 6 through Jan 24, 2024. Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 5 and 6 degrees will be activated. In that time, some deeper principles will take root with you, securing a strong foundation, worthy of your continued care as they develop further. Jupiter is lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value. Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction. One of the things we can do is manage our food production choices in context of coming weather. Another is to mitigate temperature changes. Jupiter rules heat!
