Find someone reliable to help you gain perspective. ‘Het Duet’ by Van Beveren 1850 {{PD}}

November 5th Jupiter perfects opposition to Juno and Pallas sextiles Sedna. It may seem that our own empowerment options are in direct contradiction to what the social arena expects or will accept–and we won’t feel we have the internal measure of wisdom necessary to sort it out. This would be correct; we must look outside ourselves for some yardstick against which to judge the situation before us. Go for tried-and-true sources of counsel rather than spinning off on a new tangent; what seems original or unique might really just be freakish–remember, our ‘pickers’ are off right now.

From the current ECLIPSE:

November 1st brings Venus quincunx Chiron and opposed Uranus, while the Sun sesquiquadrates Vesta. We would like to be spontaneous, but it just doesn’t go well, and someone or something discourages us in the Love or money department–and I’m not sure they have a right or a reason to. We may be seeing all the inconveniences of having a strong values system at this time (we would really just like to not re-cycle, or stop for pedestrians, or wipe down the exercise bike, just this once) but our sense of pride won’t allow it. The urge to act out is just a re-channeled reaction to that discouragement we were given–and when we realize that, we can take the reins and not be a victim of unconscious impulses. Assess the discouragement and you’ll likely see someone unhappy offering you the downer–so just ignore them.

October 24th sees Venus oppose Pallas and square Vesta, while Mercury trines Pallas and quincunxes Vesta. We may be juggling relationships, finances, or values as we try to do what’s wise, and though we can think it through, our perception may be that, when it comes to actually applying what we’ve decided, it could appear to threaten the very relationship, financial situation, or life-value it’s meant to correct or benefit. It’s a time when it may be very difficult to put our money (or relationship, or choices) where our mouth is, as the saying goes–but we would be wise to grit our teeth and do it anyway, as anything that doesn’t survive this episode needed to go, anyway–even if we didn’t think so.

On the 22nd the Sun enters Scorpio and Earth enters Taurus, while Venus trines Sedna and Mercury opposes it. Our attention turns to what we don’t know, something of a built-in prompt to worry–but about what? As long as we remember that this time of year is keyed to emotional introspection, into inspection of the dark corners, and into digging for the truth, we’ll embrace that darkness as part of the natural cycle, seeing it as coming forward in the ‘right’ time.

We’ll also see feelings (and even relationships) exposed, and words and thoughts shared in spite of our wishes not to; it’s a day to learn all about others, and to minimize our own exposure, as we may blurt out something better kept to ourselves.
