Mercury & Venus influences this week -- Astrology for the Week, Oct. 28-Nov. 3, 2019

Hello Friends,

I am writing this on Sunday, Oct. 27, in the energy of the new moon in Scorpio. The moon and the Sun are in Scorpio and a further aspect today is their opposition to Uranus in Taurus. Big concepts like death, transformation, rebirth and empowerment are all wrapped up in these aspects.

The moon is about the subconscious, the sun sheds light and brings things out into the open, Scorpio is a water sign, asking us to go deep into our feelings and bring up anything that needs to be healed that is in our subconscious. Uranus is also about change and empowerment, but it on the level of  seismic shifts. Taurus grounded in it earth sign power is asking us to look at what we do on a daily basis. So all of these aspects are mixed like a recipe and could mean that you have the opportunity to be aware of behavior patterns that are on the subconscious level. Once aware you have the opportunity to change them perhaps freeing yourself from nasty habits.

There is definitely opportunity for deep thinking and profound change. This energy will last at least 2 weeks.

Mercury is in its shadow period as it slows down to move retrograde starting later this week. So don't be surprised if your thoughts are slow, forgetful or muddled this week. Also I'm personally seeing the effects of retrograde begin early with people and things coming back from the past in my life.

On Wednesday, Oct. 30, Mercury and Venus are conjunct, that means they are within 10 degrees of each other. The result is that the two planets give each other a boost of energy. This is good for sales, beauty, marketing, and making a purchase.

For Halloween, Thursday, Oct. 31, Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Scorpio. Mercury retrogrades give us the opportunity to review or reflect on past decisions. Sometimes we have to redo a project all over again. Things or people from our past tend to return. Something that has been lost may be found. We only focus on the negative aspects of retrogrades like when our technology goes haywire, but there are positive aspects of a retrograde. If you dig deep and bring emotions to the surface, acknowledge them, think about them and heal. What adjustments do you need to make? Retrograde ends Nov 21, but Mercury will be in Scorpio still when retrograde ends. He will complete his transit of Scorpio on Dec. 8, 2019.

On November 1 Venus moves into Sagittarius. She joins Jupiter in Sagittarius where they will expand each other's energy. That may be good fortune for us even during a Mercury retrograde. These two planet promote optimism and taking calculated risks. Have an open mind and learn something new.

Love and blessing to you all...
