You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

This Week:
New weekly video!⬆️
We have a massive, significant, and intense week ahead!
Venus is retrograding back through some rocky, potentially dangerous territory with her 2nd of 3 squares to Pluto and inconjunction with Neptune! We are also wrapping up Libra Season and Venus in Scorpio!
This weekend brings in some fresh, new, exciting, but still intense energy! The Sun enters Scorpio early Friday morning, bringing in a welcomed vibe shift! The Sun will conjunct Venus Rx in Scorpio for the LAST time in our lifetimes at 0* of Scorpio! This begins a new 8-year cycle in the Scorpio part of our charts, and it's the last time that the Sun and Venus will meet in Scorpio! They've been meeting in Scorpio since the early 1920s, and this final Cazimi closes out this 100-year cycle of Venus-Sun Cazimis in Scorpio; now they move backward into Libra! I sense this is VERY auspicious for love and relationships over the next 100 years!
Mercury Stations Rx in Scorpio early Saturday morning!
Early Sunday morning, Venus re-enters her home sign of Libra! Sweet relief!! Venus gets the royal welcome home in Libra after her volatile time in Scorpio! Venus has protection in Libra! The feminine has some time to reset and regroup after a hard battle.
The Sun inconjuncts Neptune early Sunday morning. Are we getting the truth? Are we being deceived? It's likely, so for now, trust no one!
We have been feeling this intensity building all weekend, since Pluto Stationed Direct on Thursday. This activated the incoming Venus Rx-Pluto square that we have coming in hot, early Tuesday morning!
When both planets are applying to each other, things get ugly! We had the first Venus-Pluto square on 9/15. We are building up to the second one now! This one is more intense and potentially uglier! Venus is running toward Pluto in full attack mode. Pluto is moving slowly but building forward momentum, giving him power and strength. Venus is severely debilitated by her retrograde, and she's in her sign of Fall, Scorpio. The feminine is on the attack, but lacks the power and potential to win. She is a skilled warrior, laser-focused on her attack plan, but she lacks the power and higher ground to go after Pluto. This square signifies power plays, power struggles, bullying, violence against women, rape, and sometimes murder. Please be careful when dating or getting to know someone new. Take your time; avoid secluded areas. Deep, dark secrets are coming to light! Relationship drama, suspicion, and obsession are hallmarks of this aspect. Protect your energy, be careful! Once Pluto Stations Direct, this square is on!
Venus is Retrograde in Scorpio!
She will remain Rx until 11/13. This can strain love, relationships, finances, and beauty. The Goddess of Love and Beauty is turning inward and not bringing her usual giving, loving energy to the table. She's focused on reviewing, revising, rethinking, and revisiting issues over the past 18 months. This isn't the best time to start new relationships or make big changes to your look or appearance.
Venus is answering to Mars in Leo as she Stations Retrograde. Venus is considered to be in her sign of Detriment in Scorpio. Venus is the Goddess of Love and Beauty, so she doesn't have her usual luxuries in Mars's cold, wet Scorpionic castle. This Venus Rx is very Wuthering Heights, lol. Venus begins the retrograde in atrocious territory! By sign, she's involved in a tense Fixed T-square with Mercury, Mars, and Pluto! Venus will traverse this difficult territory herself over her retrograde. Venus is learning warrior skills from Mars. If she digs in, dedicates herself, and works hard, she will be victorious. If she's defiant, calculated, and vengeful, she will have a series of brutal, dangerous, and potentially deadly experiences!
Relationships are challenged under Venus Retrogrades, especially this one! Issues around trust, secrets, lies, and finances are major themes of this retrograde. Look back to 2018; this was the last Venus Rx in Scorpio, for similar themes to emerge.
This is NOT a good time for starting new relationships, especially with someone we don't already know well! Do not go on a secluded date with someone new, or just met! If dating someone new, take your time; really get to know them. Do you even like them? Relationshps/affaris started during Venus Rx usually fizzle out by the end of the retrograde. Is it worth it? I promise you, it's NOT! Especially under this Rx! Secrets won't remain hidden! Long-term relationship trust issues and drama are more likely. Relationships could end or separate. Under the Rx, it's likely to come back around. Exes are also more likely to return. Be discerning! They likely won't stick around.
Venus rules women, so females are taking the hit on this one. Please stay safe, trust your gut, and leave if you feel threatened by anyone in any way! Watch your back!
This energy can signify violence against women, stalkers, obsession, rape, and murder. Crimes by women and against women are more likely. This energy is vengeful; it's not a time to make enemies.
Use this Venus Rx to pull back, reflect on your dating style and type. Is it working for you? If not, maybe open your mind to a different type. Clear out your closet and throw out old makeup. This Venus Rx is financially focused. Clean up your finances, make a budget, and stick to it!
This is NOT the time to have ANY plastic surgery! Avoid getting tattoos or going on a shopping spree, especially on expensive items. Our tasste/sense of style is off during Venus Rx. By the end of the Rx, we'll likely not like what we bought or did!
Make small, inconsequential changes, like wearing different colors, trying a new eyeshadow or lipstick color, or trying a hat (lol).
We tend not to enjoy things as much when Venus is Rx.
We are more sensitive to alcohol/drugs during Venus Rx, especially THIS ONE! It's a great time for an alcohol/drug detox!
Today:
The Moon is waxing, growing in light. We're building toward the Taurus Full Moon very early next week, Monday!
We have a short void Moon this morning as the Moon wraps up in Aquarius and then enters Pisces. The Pisces Moon is happy this morning, but it moves into some cranky territory as we head into the evening.
We have the 2nd of 3 Venus-Neptune inconjunctions this morning. The Venus-Pluto square kicks off the inconjunction! The feminine is significantly debilitated. Venus inconjunct Neptune signifies lies, deceit, secrets, delusion, and fantasies that take us off our path and can blindside us. This is the 2nd of 3 of these inconjunctions. The last was on 9/15, shortly after the first Venus-Pluto square.
We need to use our discernment!
If it seems too good to be true, it IS!
We also have a BIG Sun-Chiron opposition this evening. Ouch! This one hurts! This aspect signifies big wounds, deep hurt, raw, painful, hurtful emotions erupting to the surface. This is like a boil that comes to a head. This aspect signifies health issues, inflammation, or accidents. Please be careful and practice good self-care. Take any health issues that come up seriously! We feel this energy building all day. Have a good cry, some soup, or herbal tea and get to bed early tonight.
We are wrapping up Libra Season over the next few days! The Sun will enter Scorpio early Friday morning!
Venus is having an intense week! She is combust the Sun as she grows toward her Cazimi with the Sun late Friday night! Venus is no longer visible in the evening sky; she is too close to the Sun to see. As Venus grows closer to the Sun, she's combust, burnt, and being purified by the Sun's rays. Late Friday night, we have her Cazimi, when Venus is in the Heart of the Sun. This is a sacred moment of purification and rebirth for Venus! Over the next few weeks, she will reappear as a Morning Star.
This Venus-Sun Cazimi in Scorpio is special! During Venus's Rx cycle, she forms a 5-pointed star because she retrogrades through the same signs every 100 years. She only retrogrades through 5 signs in a lifetime! This is her final Cazimi in Scorpio for our lifetimes! We have been working through the Scorpio Rx cycle since the 1920's! This is a new beginning and major closeout Cazimi. We'll wrap up a 100-year cycle over the next 8 years, as each Cazimi begins a new 8-year cycle in the sign of the Cazimi. So it's a beginning wrapped up in a larger ending cycle! The beginning of the end of how we have done relationships and partnerships over the next 8 years. I'm very much looking forward to the beginning of the Libra Cazimi! Maybe it's the return of true love for our society! Just thinking about how relationships, sex, and finances have changed since the 1920's is wild! It's time for us to prepare for growth and change in our approach to love, relationships, beauty, sex, and sexuality. It's gotten quite dark under this cycle. It will be nice to clean it up!
We are also building up to Mercury's Station Retrograde early Saturday morning! This is an intense one! Mercury had Venus's back when she Stationed Rx, but she will not be there for Mercury, as she's re-entering her power place and home sign early Sunday morning! Mercury will have to navigate the dark underworld terrain of Scorpio without its cosmic bestie. At least the Sun will be close by to light Mercury's way and keep Mercury on the right path. We can expect deep, dark, scandalous secrets to surface. Mercury finds Venus's diaries and knows everything!
Moon in Aquarius trines the Sun in Libra at 4:42 a.m.; the Sun shares more light with the Moon as she grows toward fullness. This is a glorious Air trine. The Sun and Moon are flowing harmoniously. Pay attention to your dreams and intuition.
The Moon goes void of course with this aspect. It's a short void Moon.
Moon in Aquarius sextiles Chiron Rx in Aries at 5:51 a.m.; this aspect is healing and restorative. Take your vitamins, enjoy a healthy smoothie, breakfast, or a cup of herbal tea. Take good care of yourself.
The Moon enters Pisces at 8:35 a.m.; the Moon in Pisces is imaginative, self-sacrificing, impressionable, sympathetic, compassionate, illusionary, secretive, victimizing, or victimized.
The Moon in Pisces is answering to Jupiter in Leo.
Venus Rx in Scorpio inconjuncts Neptune Rx in Aries at 9:39 am; this is the 2nd of 3 aspects between these planets. This is a blindsiding aspect. It signifies secrets, lies, deceit, delusion, illusion, and fantasy. It's the snake oil salesman aspect. All that glitters isn't gold. Do not allow cognitive dissonance to take over! Trust your spidey senses!
Moon in Pisces trines Venus Rx in Scorpio at 12:51 pm; this is a beautiful, loving, nurturing water trine. Venus is thrilled to connect with the Pisces Moon, because she's exalted in Pisces! This uplifts Venus Rx significantly after her tough week.
Moon in Pisces squares Uranus Rx in Gemini at 6:07 pm; this aspect signifies shocks, surprises, and unexpected events. It can also signify power outages or sudden storms. Expect surprising news and information to come to light.
Sun in Libra opposes Chiron Rx in Aries at 6:27 pm; ugh, we've been feeling this aspect building all day. We are feeling highly sensitive and emotional now. A wound has been triggered, and we are stewing over it. We need to find a healthy release for this volatile energy. Take any health issues seriously and practice extra self-care. Pick your battles. It's been a heavy week, and we're exhausted. This aspect can signal something coming to a head, like a boil about to burst, or inflammation. We need to let the poison out, but how we do it matters! This aspect can signify hurtful situations in relationships and partnerships, breakups, or hurtful words. Be gentle with yourself and others. Maybe we are nursing a badly bruised ego.

Alligator- Integration
Gator is telling you that something may have escaped your perception. Ask yourself what viewpoint or possibility did not get factored into your assessment. Did that missing piece of the puzzle keep you from having an accurate overview of what is now occurring? If so, it is never too late to re-evaluate the situation from a more integrated and flexible point-of-view. Remember, Gator's eyes and nostrils are often the only parts of its body above water while it senses its surroundings. Gator integrates all probabilities before it makes its move.

Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
