Since last December we've seen revolutions spreading across the world - the signature of the Cardinal Uranus/Pluto Square - an energetic pattern that in the past has led to mass revolution across all levels of society and spreads throughout the world. Now it is touching the United States shores also. Be aware this is only the very beginning of the effects of this energy pattern which will have 7 exact hits from the years 2012-15. Our personal lives and society itself will be transformed, perhaps quite radically, by the end of this time. The seeds of this change were planted during the Uranus/Pluto conjunction of the 1960's. Now, we have reached the first quarter square of the cycle: the crisis/challenge to put these ideas truly into action. On Monday there is a Cardinal 1st quarter square of the Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto to the Sun in Libra following an early morning Moon/Uranus square, giving us a very potent/visceral taste of this Uranus/Pluto energy. The emotions want to take a conservative/ordered approach, yet Pluto/Uranus is forcing change, while the self gets the sense that collaboration/cooperation/equality/justice is the higher road to travel in our lives now. We must struggle to free ourselves from our deepest fears that normally shut us down emotionally and have us try to bring control to the situation through some ordered response. Instead, we must put some trust in the other, share ideals, and seek equality in our relationships on all levels. Mercury sesiquadrate Neptune can muddy the mental waters quite a bit most likely by being too idealistic, dreamy, or escapist. This energy will drift into Tuesday too with the Moon's sqaure to Saturn and Mercury sesiquadrate Chiron - we will get a sense of how much work there is to do and it could seem daunting. We must push ourselves to learn more about our own pain and what it is here to teach us so that we can become more effective collaborators.
Thursday has an odd mix of energy. Mercury conjunct Saturn in Libra is the main signature of this day and we may hear many official announcements by various groups. In our own lives, this would bring sober, grounded communications in trying to hammer out agreements. Attention to detail is at a premium, and minds are narrowed considerably. Mercury/Saturn is quincunx Ceres today, so the disconnect between ideas on resource management may be the main struggle in our communications or in news/announcements this day. New ways of thinking will be required by releasing the old ideas first. Sun sesiquadrate Neptune can give lots of idealism, pie-in-the-sky solutions, deceptions, secrets, etc - it's easy to fall under the spell of others.
Friday has a majorly sweet trine between Venus and Neptune. Here there is a harmony between lower and higher forms of love. This is a signature of "the Romantic" even if it's not on a personal level with someone else - just being in love with life itself, spirit, art, beauty, etc.
Saturday starts a major shift of planetary energy that will dominate the rest of October, as Venus will ingress into Scorpio, soon to be followed by Mercury and the Sun, with all 3 headed for oppositions to Jupiter in Taurus. I will get into this in more depth over the next few weeks, but suffice to say relationships should be taken to new expansive and deeper levels if you work with this energy well. Venus is in detriment in Scorpio because this is where we can "lose it" sometimes in relationships by taking them to a level so deep that irretractable/possessive connections are made that can set us up for betrayal and/or power struggles/emotional manipulation. This energy is best used to plunge into emotional depths of truth with a loved/trusted one that can deepen a relationship to levels that you were unaware of prior to this. If this is done well, the soul-mate connection can be deeply bonding. For those of us found in emotional power struggles with loved ones during this time, it is OK to use your mind to quell your emotions so that you don't lose control and allow a relationship to turn into an all out war. Deep creativity is a positive result of using this energy properly.
Sunday the Sun is sesiquadrate Chiron and we may struggle all day to find balance or promote the image of ourselves that we wish to. Jupiter square Vesta shows we may be involved in groups of like-minded brother/sisterhood, sharing ideas, philosophies, values and taking steps to act upon them.
We have a chance this month to gain many new alliances, friendships, relationships and to deepen existing ones. Our lives can be deeply enriched if we follow this energy.

A quick look at last week's Libra Equinox chart set in Washington, DC shows the tone of our nation for the next 3 months. Several things struck me in this chart. First is the Moon in Leo conjunct Mars in the 11th house. Congress will continue to fight, disagree, be one-sided, etc. This will threaten the country's Collective goals and continue to anger the people at Congress and their pompous displays of arrogance. Local government and civil institutions will continue to suffer from their insolence. Uranus conjunct the 8th house cusp and opposite the Sun in 1st both square Pluto in 4th house (Cardinal T-square) shows active rebellion against corporations, taxes, and financiers, and the President may actually get some popular support that he can use to initiate for changes on how the common people/Main Street are treated by financiers, banks and corporations. South Node in 10th and North Node in 4th shows he could regain his popularity by committing to the orginal ideas that got him elected and aligning his goals for the nation with the common people's, and by being a stronger negotiator (Nodes trine/sextile Saturn in Libra in 2nd house) for a fairer way of distributing resources and the wealth of the nation.
