This Week in Astrology, October 4, 2009

Oct 6: Mercury conjunct Makemake, a dwarf planet makes us aware of the finite resources on the planet vs. over population. Overpopulation is also synonyms with poverty. On a personal level, it will make you aware of your finite resources vs. what it takes to support the life that you want. With the current economic crisis, it makes us aware that there is not enough to support the standard of life that our ego wants. But wait, law of attraction says that if we hold positive thoughts and positive vibrations, we can bring in all the abundance that we desire. And so we affirm, pray, visualize and meditate on abundance while forgetting the most important law of the universe: that both polarities exist at the same time. We cannot have one without the other. By demanding that we receive only “riches, money, etc.,” we forget that the opposite also exists. Pretending it does not exist, does not make it go away.

Another reason why so many of the techniques that Law of attracted expounded did not work was that they were techniques. The essence of why they work was not addressed and so the techniques worked only to a certain point. For example, we have all heard that tithing brings money back into our lives. This is only true if you believe that it does. If you do the action hoping that it works, it does not work. Wanting to believe and truly believing are two different things. So, how do you jump that chasm, especially if your life up to this point has not supported the reality that money, positive experiences, good health can easily come to you? The only way is to accept all that is – without expectations, without judgment. That is what abundance really means on an esoteric level. But wait, does that mean that we have no choices, that life is simply being a non reactive doormat? No. we have to surrender and let go of our ego’s desires and definitions. We have to accept all life experiences simply as a life experience. To embrace life and live it from a non judgment vantage point. All the great masters that I have studied who have reached this state of enlightenment got there from personal tragedy, i.e., one lost all her family in a fire, another was shot and left for dead. Both were what I considered holy women before their tragedies. Both had to redefine what God was and what Life was. What they discovered by truly letting go, that there was another part of them directing a different agenda from the one their egos wanted. And when they surrendered to that agenda and view the world from that perspective, they discovered the true fulfilling fullness of life. So, to get to that point, start looking at life as it simply is. It means nothing if you are financially secure, it means nothing if you have cancer. It means nothing if you are unemployed. It means nothing if you have a stable loving relationship. Everything simply is. It is the way to the other side of the chasm.

October 7: Venus – Chiron alignment will brings adjustments and refinements in the area of creativity, relationships and refinement. What creative project have you put aside that you have always wanted to do? The health problems that you are experiencing reveal the creative areas of your life that you have neglected. You have been taking care of others, it is time to take care of yourself.

October 8: Mercury aligns with Saturn. Reread October 6. Saturn reveals all the ways you have stopped yourself: all the obstacles that you have created. It may appear that they are impossible to change but you will find that that is not true. When you are angry enough, you will find the courage to do what you know you should have done a long time ago. Remember, it wasn’t the right time then. It is now. Oh yes, I remember, I told you to observe life as simply “it is.” That does not mean taking no action. It means to be clear on your motivation. Saturn will expose your fears. Approach your life from a calm assertive stance. Everything simply is but you can choose what you experience, as long as you are not coming from a position of judgment and fear.

October 8: The Sun is conjunct Haumea, another dwarf planet. This is the perfect day to following Thursday. Today your mantra is, “I restore faith in myself.” This means totally accepting yourself. Realize that everything you are and everything you’ve done is perfect. Even if you are a convicted felon, you did it perfectly. Total acceptance means power. It is time to reclaim your power.

October 9: This will be a challenging day for relationships. The things that you have been in denial about will be in your face. The good news is that Mercury enters Libra today and that will make it a good day to discuss the issues openly. Mercury will also provide an abundance of creative thoughts.

October 10: Ahhh, a wonderful Sun-Jupiter alignment brings in abundant energy that allows you to align with your soul purpose. A Mercury–Pluto aspect brings the tendency for confrontations. Remember anger leaks your power. Approach any incident that you encounter from a calm fearless stance. There are so many more wonderful things that you will want to focus your energy on.

October 11: Venus conjunct Makemake. Here we encounter Makemake again which will make you aware of the resources you have in your life. This is the perfect day to create a gratitude list. What are all the wonderful things that you are grateful for. If you are able to, also include the not so wonderful things, events and people that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Being aware of all the wonderful things that you have to be grateful for will allow you to see the richness and fullness of life. It is everything and we need to learn to be grateful for all, the good and the bad.

The cards that I pulled for this week are:

Release and Surrender.
This one is very timely as this week is all about release and surrender. Release expectations and judgments. Surrender your ego’s desires. Forgive your self and others. It is the way to freedom.

Energy Work
Every thing is energy. Meditate on energy. What does it feel like, look like, smell like, etc. Have energy work done. Learn how to do energy work. The library is full of wonderful books on all kinds of energy work. Expand your world.

Cleanse and Detoxify:
This card goes hand in hand with the first two. Love is the best way to achieve this. Love the things you like in your world. Learn to love the things you do not. This does not mean that you approve of them but sending love to them allows the cord that is binding you together to be broken. It allows you to heal and to take your power back.

Void of Course Moons (EST) The time not to start new projects or make major decisions.
