Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of October 7, 2024 – October 13, 2024:

We’ve got a lot going on this week, starting on Monday as the moon moves into Sagittarius, becoming the only planet in the Fire sign element for the remainder of the week. We’ve also got a planet changing signs (Mercury) and two planets changing direction (Jupiter and Pluto), a rare Yod configuration and a comet making its first appearance in the night sky.

On Tuesday, Mercury trines Jupiter and opposes Chiron well Venus trying to Mars. The trine to Jupiter is also a positive aspect, as Mercury and Jupiter are a natural planetary pair. Here we have two natural polarities — the natural rulers of the 3rd and 9th houses — joined together in harmony. We have Mercury — the planet associated with communications and ideas — trining Jupiter — the planet associated with benevolence, good will and generosity.

This week starts on Monday with Venus leaving Libra behind and moving into Scorpio. Venus is not always comfortable in Scorpio, the sign of its detriment. This placement is often misunderstood due to preconceived notions about how Venus (the planet associated with love, romance, affection and beauty) is supposed to behave.

There are many positive aspects with this placement, but because the dark side of Scorpio is prone to trust issues, jealousy, possessiveness and control, it can manifest as less than favorable. Still there’s more passion, depth, intensity and intimacy in this archetype than any other Venus placement, so don’t give into your fears. Let your guard down, open your heart, and be willing to take a walk on the wild side.

This week starts with Venus opposing Chiron and Mars squaring the North and South Nodes on Monday. The Venus / Chiron  opposition  describes a need to establish clearer boundaries and identify your own personal values reverberates. Are you struggling with doubts and insecurities about your own self-worth? Or are you striving to let go of associations that have held you back or prevented you from achieving personal fulfillment? These are Venus opposite Chiron motifs.

And then there’s the Mars / Nodal Square which can be volatile and unpredictable. In classical astrology, any planet squaring the Node is seen as being “at the bendings.” It’s said to indicate crisis, with emphasis on the concept of fate. As Mars represents energy, action and drive, this can be a high energy transit that manifests that translates as combative or explosive energies. Things can get heated — in both your personal relationships and on the planet — as Mars is also still out of bounds.

This week starts with Mercury moving back into Virgo on Monday, after having crossed back into Leo (for a portion of its retrograde cycle) for the last 3+ weeks. Mercury is at home in Virgo — the sign it both rules and is exalted in — and because it’s now moving forward, all things Mercury are likely to be clearer, more precise and more succinct in the coming weeks.

This includes things like Communications and ideas, plans, schedules, mail (and email) services and calendars. It includes technical and communications- related equipment such as phones, radios, television, computers and satellites etc. And it includes all things related to short distance travel, such as cars, buses,  subways, commuter trains, bikes and motorbikes, taxis and limos.

This week starts on Monday as Mercury trines Chiron, with the Moon joining in later in the day. This transit can It brings elements like compassion, humility and tolerance to the mix, which makes social interactions so much more pleasant. As both of Mercury and Chiron are in fire signs, the desire to take action and make things happen is strong.

And when you add the Moon to the mix, the capacity for understanding others and being able to put yourself in their shoes — as well as the ability to express genuine caring and compassion for those who aren’t always so easy to love — is greatly enhanced.

This week starts on Monday with Venus inconjuncting the North Node, while simultaneously semi-sextiling the South Node. This aspect can see you feeling at odds between what you value (Venus) and what you see as your life’s purpose (the North Node). The key with any inconjunct aspect is to find a way to make adjustments to satisfy both areas. In this case it calls for you to align your ideals with what you see as your calling.

This is a good time to get out under the stars for what is usually a site to behold: the Perseid Meteor Showers, which are visible at this time every year. They should be visible from around 10 pm until sunrise, after the Moon has set.

The same can be said for the next few days as well; you should be able to see up to almost 100 meteors per hour in the early morning hours of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (especially just before dawn). 

The Moon is in Scorpio on Tuesday until around 9 am when it goes void of course for an hour and then moves in the Sagittarius. There’s not a lot happening with that Moon other than a square to Mercury which can briefly exacerbate problems with communications. Remember that Mercury’s retrograde, and when you pair it with a square (90° aspect) involving the Moon, you’re likely to see people getting defensive or taking things too personally.

Been all those years there’s been highway patrolman killed and throughout the regionHere is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of August 5, 2024 – August 11, 2024

We start this week with Venus moving into Virgo on Monday, just as Mercury — also in Virgo — goes stationary retrograde. Venus is said to be debilitated in Virgo, as it is the sign opposite Venus’ natural Exaltation, Pisces. As such, Venus is not particularly comfortable in Virgo, where the naturally romantic, self-indulgent, partnership-oriented archetype struggles to express itself through the analytical, perfectionistic, service-oriented Virgo filter.

Venus is the “love” planet, representing how you give and receive love and affection, as well as what you find aesthetically appealing. What’s attractive to you? And how do you express love and affection? It also rules “money” as in earning potential and income, how you handle money, what you spend it on, and whether you’re attracting it to you or seeing it run through your fingers like water.

This week starts with a waning crescent Moon in Taurus on Monday. This is an extremely favorable placement for the Moon as Taurus is a sign of its exaltation. It’s also involved in several harmonious aspects to the outer planets — Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — throughout the day.

The Moon moves into Gemini just before 10 pm UT, and forms another harmonious aspect to an outer planet (a trine to Pluto), which is also the last lunar aspect of the day. The Moon in Gemini shifts the focus from comfort and relaxation (Taurus Moon) to interaction, social engagement and the exchange of ideas. While it may keep you up — thinking, ruminating, brainstorming, etc. — it’s great for organizing your thoughts and ideas and putting together a new course of action.

We’ve got a lot going on this week, starting on Monday with the Sun trining Neptune and Mars trining Pluto. Starting out with the Sun / Neptune aspect, you may find that you’re more sensitive to outside influences and also more susceptible to psychic impressions. 

This could be reinforced by the fact that both planets are at the 29th or “anaretic” degree. This degree — the last degree of any sign — is known as a critical degree and is said to be associated with fate. With the Sun involved — especially in watery, sensitive, emotional Cancer — it can indicate a need to work through early childhood traumas and bolstering your self-esteem. Neptune encourages you to heed your inner voice and set aside your limitations, especially those that have been self-imposed.

Why He “Pulled Away” — And How to Bring Him Back

why he pulled away

We’ve all been there. To hell and back that is.

We’ve all found ourselves caught in the throes of a new romantic connection that seemed so perfect in the beginning and then died out so suddenly that we were left reeling in the aftershocks and wondering what happened?

It usually goes something like this: We meet a man who seems so promising and full of potential in the beginning that we allow ourselves to get caught up in a whirlwind romance, one that has all the markings of a long term relationship.

He comes on like gangbusters, ardently pursuing and letting us know in a multitude of ways that he’s into us.

There’s a lot happening this week, starting with two planets (the Sun and Venus) changing signs, two planets (Mercury and Neptune) changing direction, and the final Super Moon of the year.

Starting on Monday, the Sun moves into Cancer and marks the onset of the Summer Solstice as well as the longest day of the year. This is measured by the amount of time between Sunrise and Sunset for those in the Northern Hemisphere; it’s exactly the opposite (the Winter Solstice and shortest day of the year) for those in the Southern Hemisphere.
