MARCIA SACKS

The New Moon is on Friday, November 1 at 7:47 am CST in 9° Scorpio signifying new beginnings which require a deeper look at your personal psychology and inner states of awareness. We are more intuitive than usual at this time. I love this affirmation by Louise Hay: "All that I need to know at any given moment is revealed to me. My intuition is always on my side."

The two rulers of Scorpio are in opposition to each other right now with Mars at 29° Cancer and Pluto at 29° Capricorn. Do your best to be gentle and compassionate with those around you.

The Full Moon is on Thursday, October 17 at 6:26 a.m. CDT in 24° Aries. High energy but with a potential storm coming in, if you want to think about it in 'astro-weather' terms.  So you may be able to forge ahead at a good pace with small tasks or big projects. However with Mars (22° Cancer)  and Pluto (29° Capricorn) forming a grand cross with the Moon and Sun,  interactions with other people will be the challenge. The key phrase is "self-righteousness." You may encounter it as your own emotionality or you may be confronted with it from another person. Or both!
​
Plan ahead for the times when you feel your anger temperature rising over the next few days. Use the tools in your spiritual toolbox to bring yourself back into balance: meditation, deep breathing, chanting, or taking a walk outside.  It's a great time for one versus one games like chess or tennis. So maybe change battlefields to something more fun than an "I'm right, you're wrong" argument.

In the future:

Here's something exciting to look forward to. The United Astrology Conference is one the best conferences ever. Sponsored by multiple astrology organizations like NCGR, AFA and ISAR, there's always an amazing lineup of speakers and events. The last one was in 2018. The next one has just been announced for September 2 - 9, 2026. It will be held in Chicago at the Marriott Magnificent Mile. If it's so far in advance, why I am telling your about it now? Well, those who have been to other UAC's, especially we who are from Chicago, will be rejoicing at this news and putting it in our calendars right now.

The UAC news is so new, there's no revision to the website yet. If you want to check out the one from 2018, it is here: https://www.uacastrology.com/
