Astrology for the Week of October 3, 2011

By Michele Freeman

I will be doing mini readings during First Friday Art Walk, October 7, from 5 -8 pm, at Tres Chic, 206 NW Oregon Street, Bend. See you then.

The theme for this week is spiritual understanding. You will gain a perspective of why things are happening in your life. You will begin to see the big picture. Try to remember this when events try to suck you in and make you forget who you are.

There are no major aspects the first part of the week, which is great, as enough went on last week. On Wednesday, October 5, Mars is square Jupiter. This can be a time of very successful energetic activity. Just make sure that you do not run off impulsively. Take the time to use foresight and intelligent planning. Jupiter is also retrograde, so you will be aware of old projects and desires that you did not pursue. Be observant on how you can implement them now.

On Thursday, October 6, Mercury is conjunct Saturn, today is a good day to apply critical analysis to everything. There are two sides to this energy. The first is that any self-imposed obstacle will be brought to your attention, which can be frustrating as you were sure that you had worked through that issue. The second is that practical solutions will come your way. So, do not get caught up in the emotion, so that you can see the solution.

On Friday, October 7, Venus is trine Neptune. This will be a good day to indulge in daydreaming and “what if.” Take time today to notice the beauty around you and the wonders of this world. Even if everything is negative in your world, be in awe of perfection of negativity. This will allow you to detach from the situation, which is the first, step in letting go and allowing something new in.

On Sunday, October 9, Venus enters Scorpio and is trine Chiron. This will allow healing of old relationships from the past. Sometimes it is difficult to forgive other people, as the emotions may still be strong and you feel that you are justified in your anger. So, take the time to forgive yourself for getting into the relationship in the first place. What you did was what anyone would have done in your shoes. So, stop punishing yourself and move on.

The card that I pulled for this week is a healing card. The message is, “I lovingly do everything I can to assist my body in maintaining perfect health. I get plenty of sleep every night. My body appreciates how I take care of it.” This is your homework for the week.
