The Third Week of October 2024

Greetings, starry souls! As we dive into the third week of October, get ready for a soulful journey that quickly turns into a cosmic rollercoaster of emotions. Venus takes center stage this week, pulling us into deep connections with her alluring energy, only to set off on a quest for truth and adventure shortly after. Expect some intense emotional revelations along the way, as hidden feelings rise to the surface, pushing you to reflect and realign with what feels safe and supportive.

Here’s a breakdown of the celestial highlights and how to navigate them:

October 15th, 2024 - Venus in Scorpio Trine Neptune Rx in Pisces

Dreamy vibes are in the air as Venus in passionate Scorpio forms a harmonious trine with Neptune retrograde in mystical Pisces. This is an enchanting day for deepening emotional bonds, exploring your creativity, and tapping into your intuition. 

Whether you're getting lost in a creative project, daydreaming about love, or feeling spiritually connected, this transit brings a sense of softness and magic to your day. However, be mindful of getting too caught up in fantasies—enjoy the inspiration, but keep one foot on the ground!

October 17th, 2024 - Venus in Scorpio Sextile Pluto in Capricorn

Venus in Scorpio is all about intensity, and when she forms a supportive sextile to Pluto in Capricorn, expect transformative energy to be at play in your relationships and financial matters. This aspect encourages us to dig deep and address what’s hidden beneath the surface with curiosity and perspective.

It’s a powerful time for making lasting changes in your love life or financial situation by embracing what truly matters. Let go of what no longer serves you, and lean into the transformation—this energy is all about growth through vulnerability and honesty.

October 17th, 2024 - Venus Enters Sagittarius

Almost immediately after getting a profound bit of insight, we say goodbye to the intensity of Scorpio and hello to Venus in adventurous Sagittarius! As Venus shifts into this fiery, freedom-loving sign, relationships take on a lighter, more exploratory tone. 

Over the next few weeks this transit lightens the mood and invites us to seek new experiences, expand our horizons, and find joy in the journey. You may feel a desire to break out of your routine and embrace spontaneity in love or creative projects. It’s the perfect time to travel, try something new, or simply enjoy life with an open heart and an open mind.

October 17th, 2024 - Full Moon in Aries Square Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn, and Sextile Jupiter Rx in Gemini

While Venus is deep in her transitional tango, we should all consider buckling up for this intense Full Moon in Aries, which brings fiery, even combative energy to the surface. Squaring both Pluto in Capricorn and Mars in Cancer, this lunar event stirs up tension, power struggles, and emotional volatility. 

The Full Moon in independent Aries clashes with Pluto’s desire for systemic control and Mars' defensive emotional energy, setting the stage for confrontations that for many of us, may feel hard to avoid.

Mars in Cancer, though protective, can bring out passive-aggressive behaviors, while Pluto in Capricorn demands control and transformation, making it difficult to navigate relationships or authority dynamics smoothly. The fiery, impulsive energy of Aries wants to break free and take charge, but it’s being met with resistance from those who feel a need to maintain structure and safety.

On top of that, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini may fan the flames, adding a restless, scattered mental energy to the mix. Conversations could easily spiral, and situations may seem larger than life, creating a push-pull dynamic that could easily feel overwhelming.

Now that the red tape is out of the way, let’s focus on how to use this energy productively. Despite the potential for highly charged emotional reactions, this Full Moon is also an invitation to release old, limiting patterns, especially those related to how we handle control, conflict, and autonomy. This lunation could signal an important tipping point of action for some, granting us the momentum to assert our evolving needs for support. 

If you’ve been holding back from defending yourself or stuck in an unhealthy power dynamic, this lunation can help you break free and reclaim your sense of self. Just be mindful of the heightened emotions—while it’s important to stand your ground, be careful not to burn bridges (at least ones that don’t truly deserve burning). The challenge is to find balance between honoring your truth and respecting the emotional needs of those around you.

As the third week of October unfolds, navigate the mix of emotional, spiritual, and relational energies with mindfulness and openness. The cosmic shifts offer opportunities for profound insights and transformations, so embrace the journey and let the stars guide you through this transformative period.
