Full Moon/Taurus with Venus/Libra Retrograde ... release from hollow promises & unjust compromise

The Moon full in Taurus today (26th) coincides with the movement of Venus back into her other jurisdiction of Libra. Venus rules Taurus and Libra, but with two different and distinct purposes. The weight and reality of the responsibility through the earth sign Taurus and the love of the motive of the ideal within it, Libra. Letting go of what we don’t recognise as being relevant or worthy is the intent of the Full Moon today, upon circumstances and thoughts. Releasing the self and others from hollow promises or compromise in agreements. Venus retrograde in Libra is overseeing justice for the right reasons. Highlighting the unfairness of past ignorance of facts - formal and fundamental  - before they become too set to be altered or fixed.

MEFRCURY RETROGRADE WITH VENUS .. finger-tip searches

Mercury retrogrades in Scorpio on Friday and is in square to Jupiter/Leo moving direct. It parlays with Venus, also retrograde in Scorpio. Both going direct again on the 12th November. The Sun entering Scorpio on Friday seals the deal as a trio of influence and illuminating from the rear the depth explorations of both  Mercury and Venus in finger-tip searches for what is currently obscured. 

By Friday, six of the eight planets are in retrograde. 

Stasis becomes necessary whilst re-sets are in order, in small and large issues. Or at the very least recesses to consider differing approaches to immovable and untenable situations.

Venus moving back into Libra on Sunday 25th questions the decisions and agreements of the first week of September, and amalgamation of opinion  is called for before both Mercury and Venus move forward on the 12th - this time with greater transparency or disclosure, avoiding the slipping and sliding of the late summer and early autumn. Those with an eye to dual status in any key positions need to think twice or prepare to reverse down the ladder and plan better strategies.

ASTROLOGY SOUND-BITE

Sun in Libra joined by the Moon until Monday, and Venus/Scorpio retrograde; suspicions are high in places where things are normally taken for granted or at face value. Venus squares Mars/Leo until Wednesday, so the quest for supremacy renders the principles and values of secondary importance. Hide and seek - with narrowing territory and heightened intensity. The Moon/Aries on the 24th falls with Mercury’s retrograde in Scorpio : what isn’t on the radar by then may be reverted back to square one, or the need for redefinition. Fugitives, loners and solitary figures make use of anonymity until mid November. Full Moon/Taurus on 26th asks for closure or reappraisal of contentious issues, as ruler Venus backs into her other jurisdiction of Libra.

Venus/Scorpio Retrograde with Mercury

Venus retrogrades in Scorpio today (2nd) as Mercury enters the sign. Venus - at her most powerful in Scorpio - dives beneath and Mercury stays above the radar until third week of October. Some more serious details and findings emerge, but maybe not verified or substantiated until mid November. Taking another look in last few days of October .. and reprising and reviewing what seemed to be agreed in the first days of September. And as Mars now refuses to stay silent in Leo and opposes retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, the dogged push for hidden facts or tighter control of the search continues in lots of issues, large and small. Fastidious trail following and more belligerent pestering may yield what was determined to stay out of reach.

Full Moon in Aries ... bravery, independence & going it alone!

Moon is full in Aries today (26th) opposing Sun/Libra. Bravery and independence to the fore! Mars leaves Cancer and enters Leo on Monday, gripping tight by Wednesday and opposing retrograde Pluto/Aquarius until 5th October. This tussle between Mars & Pluto favours pushing issues from central focus so that difficulties or awkward points of connection may disappear. Moon/Aries until Tuesday can tangentially ignite other sparks by default means; these becoming solid or endorsed by mid week as Moon/Taurus squares Mars/Leo and tips the balance towards grievance or suspicion as she opposes Mercury newly entering Scorpio this month. Venus then already in Scorpio decides on invisible presence or depth surveillance by slowing to retrograde on the 2nd.

Lone voices crying outloud from among the crowd!  

Sun in Libra & The Autumn Equinox

The Sun enters Libra on 23rd and welcomes the Autumn Equinox. And the Moon moves through Aquarius trining Mercury/Libra. Redactions on previous agreements as parties find it difficult to meet demands or previous terms. The likelihood of progress may fall to those who as yet are unknown. Much backtracking or fabrication of facts as Venus slows to retrograde by the end of the month. Catch them while you can and nail the terms or clarify new findings.
