If Your Birthday is Oct. 2
(The Day of Verbal Acuity) | Get Your Birthday Reading
A Moon-Venus conjunction in Scorpio reveals you as some blend of wizard, seductress, mystic and tantric master. Celebrate existence from the inside out, trusting what you feel and what you desire. You can push the edges of your boundaries a little, because they are solid or at least tangible. That’s the thing — it’s time to blur the line.
Written in the Planets
The Moon ingresses Scorpio today, as the tension unwinds after the Full Moon in Libra on Friday. If Libra reaches for equilibrium, Scorpio reaches for depth and is less afraid of its own darkness. The Scorpio Moon immediately picks up Nessus in Pisces (a trine aspect) and is flooded with the watery vibes of Neptune in Pisces. This is Scorpio with an expressive outlet, the not-so-heavy variety of that sign. The Moon then trines an aspect that many have noted: Black Moon Lilith hanging out close to Juno. Just in time for Rosh Hashanah, we get an opening for a dialog of what may be challenging material but which will be easier to go over than it might otherwise be. Communication benefits from not being in the showdown-style of the Full Moon.
This live audio class covers the most basic level of astrology: where things happen, the houses. If you understand the houses as environments and groups of themes, you can read a chart. We will hold the class by teleconference at noon EDT on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016. You may sign up here.
