Astro-Tarot New Moon Forecast
October 4,
2013
Together,
We Are Free!
Luna the Moon and Sol the Sun are mating in a conjunction at the New Moon - they start something fresh. They’re dancing together in the starry sheets in Libra. This time, they are in square to Pluto in Capricorn, opposing Uranus in Aries, and square Jupiter and dark Moon Lilith in Cancer to make for a Cardinal Grand Cross. This forces us to come to attention. We are not immune to the outer planets’ evolutionary pull. The government shutdown this past week is a prime example. Can we rely on old forms and the patriarchy to look after ‘we the people’? Not always, and at what price do we willingly give away our power and our minds to the ‘authority’? Hmm… sounds like a 1960’s call to revolution, doesn’t it?
Rebellious Uranus in fightin’ Aries opposite this Libra New Moon is challenging all of our beliefs concerning “we’re in this together.” Are we? Can we agree to disagree? Who is going to win this showdown? All one-on-one relationships are up for examination, whether that be with your spouse, your boss, your therapist, your bank, your insurance provider or your government agent. My feeling is that it is time to revise and upgrade ALL our contracts, written and unwritten to reflect a real independence of thought and spirit.
WHO IS THE
AUTHORITY in this relationship? It is YOU.And him. And her.
And you.
Until we get the fact that there is no Central Locus of Authority, ultimately (because each of us has our unique needs, experiences, and innate wisdom) we’re gonna be at war with each other, or worse, within our own selves.
Be the you for you and let the other have their truth, too. If need be, agree to disagree. Yeah, it’s “Live and Let Live” time, but take the slogan a little deeper now: If someone is trying to impose their B.S. (belief system) on your head, body, soul or self, you won’t be able to tolerate it anymore. If we have to fight to exist in our individuality – our well lived and well earned truth – then fight we will. To get to this truth it is up to each of us to look within, honestly peering with searing clarity, deep within our OWN SELF – not on Facebook or TV – to see what we believe. And then make a stand for it. What have you truly - at the end of the day – got to lose for standing up for your own self?
Let this New Moon in Libra be a refresher course in agreeing to disagree, harmoniously. If we can all do that, perhaps we really will get along. It’s when we wimp out, people please and doubt our own truth, that confusion results and things get murky, messy and collapse into non-productive argumentation. If someone can’t agree to disagree and let you have your own truth, perhaps it’s best to walk away.
Live and Let Live, Love and Let Love.
Here are my channeled Astro-Tarot Forecasts for the New Moon cycle of October 4, 2013, using my trusty tried ‘n true Universal Waite deck. Be sure to read for your Moon, Sun and Rising Sign. For personal astrology or tarot readings, contact me directly.
UNIVERSAL CARD – FOR EVERYONE:King of Cups
King of Cups is the Cancer card so let us not forget that at this time of the Cardinal Grand Cross, we have the support of Jupiter in Cancer, showering us with BOUNTY. Jupiter in Cancer says we can have riches and real wealth by bonding with our dearest family members (actual or created). True family can also be in community, or a sangha – a spiritual community of truth. Remember too that during times of strife, our home needs to be a refuge from turbulence. It is sacred space. Make it so.
ARIES:
Nine of Swords plus bonus card Queen of Wands
When you are in your power, Aries, you stop worrying so much about what others think of your intense nature. Be, unapologetically, the fiery leader you were born to be. We need you. Speak up as gently as possible, but firmly, and remember that what others think of you is none of your business.
TAURUS:
Nine of Cups
Make a wish, Taurus, and let it come to fruition. You can have it all. You are the sign of luxury. Make a statement of what you need/want at this time and let it appear, like Aladdin summoning the genie in the lamp. Beware that Mercury is retrograde soon so don’t buy a new car or electronics until after November 10.
Gemini:
Eight of Cups
Learn to walk away from people, places, and situations – and beliefs – that are no longer serving you. Just because you like to talk you don’t have to stick around, Gemini. Move on to greener pastures and go talk to the trees if you have to. But don’t let your brilliant mind be cluttered with concepts and ideas that are outdated. Ride like the wind.
Cancer:
Two of Pentacles
Go play, Crab! With Jupiter in your sign now, you deserve to have some self-indulgence. We still have good weather in most parts of the globe so get out there. You tend to take on too much sometimes, and you’re so sensitive, so go to the beach or ride a bike or fly a kite. Smile, Cancer. Your life is happening.
Leo:
Justice
You can expect big lessons this month, Leo, regarding a new contract or agreement on offer. If it’s on the table, examine it super carefully. Because of Mercury Retrograde, you must wait to sign or use extra careful consideration, unless you’re OK with a temporary agreement, or if it’s with a person or situation from the past. Read the fine print.
Virgo:
King of Swords
Discernment is necessary, Virgo. You don’t always have to use your super sharp mind to do the heavy lifting yourself. You can offer the job to others. Learn to delegate. That’s part of being (often) the smartest person in the room. Cut the debris out from your own mind. You don’t need all that junk in there. Unload.
Libra:
Ten of Cups
Yeehaw! While the rest of the world might seem like it’s going to hell in a hand basket, you, Libra, are October’s darling. Happy Birthday to you. Have a party or a soiree with your closest friends or a few family members. Nothing lavish is necessary. You tend to be a bit in your head so be sure to get outside, smell the flowers and sniff the pine trees. Dance!
Scorpio:
Five of Pentacles
You tend to be burdened by the depths and intensity of your feelings, Scorp. Sometimes you can be so fixed in your emotions that you have a hard time letting go or embracing the new. Your inner light needs to shine, so tend to your heart’s hearth. Consider embracing a new spiritual home or contemplative practice to lighten your spirit this month.
Sagittarius:
Eight of Wands
Soar like the fiery spirit you are, dear Archer! Stop over-analyzing and just get going with your vision, finally! It’s moving! Do whatever it is that you’ve been wanting to do, whether that’s climbing a mountain or making a career jump. Do it FAST. October is the month to move on it!
Capricorn:
Six of Swords
Capricorn, your life changes of late can feel slow but they ARE occurring. You are earthy and sometimes that takes a long time to move. You can notice microscopic movements in your mind and body and the transformation is happening. You’re not totally shifted into the next phase of being, but you’re on your way. Keep trudging. You’re moving in the right direction!
Aquarius:
Ace of Pentacles
Ka-ching! That’s the sound of prosperity. You’re going to have a new work or business opportunity fall in your lap this month and it proves to be profitable. Sometimes it’s actual money and sometimes it is a different sort of resource or reward. While payment may not be immediate, you can expect the fruits to occur by December’s end. You will soon get a nudge as to exactly what that is. A gift from the Universe is en route.
Pisces:
Ace of Wands
Fire to the Fish right now! You could feel much more motivated than usual, and busy! And not nearly as mellow and float-y as you like to be. You’re inspired creatively and feel purposeful. Roll with it, Pisces. It’s a great month to let your spirit self express and experience a rebirth of your passions and art. You can trust your inner flame. Burn bright!
