This t-square will be active for around ten days with the following key dates: This is very important as from 8 October the Sun begins to square Jupiter, taking its place in the Libra position of the Cardinal t-square so recently vacated by Mercury. Venus moved into Virgo on 2 October suggesting that connecting with others can help bring us back down to Earth, to be practical and grounded. A supportive trine / sextile configuration will help here. Spend time in nature, do some mediation, be still and quiet as often as you can. Mercury in opposition to Uranus can be volatile and a little crazy-making so try to make time to quiet the mind. On 7 October Mercury forms the first of two oppositions to Uranus this month. Be careful you don’t hurt anyone with those claws of yours! Confronting inner demons ain’t most people’s idea of a good time after all! However Mars is already within orb of a square to Pluto, perfecting on 9 October, and this may bring certain conflicts and resentments out of the shadows and in to the open. Pluto turns direct on 4 October, which will come as a relief to most people. Aires is an energy of initiation and action, however with Aries’ ruler Mars still tracking retrograde, and in separating square to Saturn, the energetic gang-ho feelings usually associated with this sign may feel thwarted and frustrated.
The month opens with a Full Moon in Aries on 1 October.
On the plus side there are a bunch of supportive trines and sextiles to provide support and stability, and Pluto finally shifts into direct motion after a long period in retrograde. The Astrology of October 2020 features two full moons, a reactivation of the cardinal t-square and of course Mercury turning retrograde on 14 October. Squares, especially cardinal squares can shift things because they bring tension to the surface, and after the eruption things tend to feel a lot better. Perhaps not in the kindest or most compassionate way, but at least now they are out in the open and can be addressed. Having said this it’s important to acknowledge that in the process of said emotional meltdown, things were said that needed to be said. I hope you have all fared a little better. Ouch! Cue major emotional melt down and domestic combat. It hit several sensitive points in my natal chart including my Sun and Moon. Personally I found this latest square between Mars and Saturn, exact yesterday, particularly challenging. Squares are like that: they signify periods of intense change, of building and development, but this progress is never without its challenges.
September was a challenging month for many with the square between Mars and Saturn creating a tension that while highly productive for many, was also exhausting and relentless. The Astrology of October 2020 is a mixed bag and how it plays out for you will depend greatly on your natal placements. Image copyright Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.
