⁣
the seasons are changing and mercury entering scorpio aligns and fits in perfectly with the energies of the autumn equinox~ sharp, sensual and mysterious. 🍁🐿🐞✨⁣
⁣
mercury began his transit through scorpio today which will influence us to become highly perceptive, observant and sensitive to the changing energies around us. you may find that you are less willing to speak on the things that invade your mind this season. there’s an increased need to maintain a level of privacy under scorpios energies, which is perhaps related to the intensified feeling of being misunderstood in the ways that we uniquely express ourselves. ⁣
⁣
mercury in scorpio is quick, defensive and greatly intuitive which could generate disagreements and misunderstandings. you may find that you (and others) are quick to defend yourself under these energies as scorpio’s prescence heightens passion (martian ruler) and emphasises that there’s is nobody who truly understands you and your needs more than yourself.⁣
⁣
scorpio’s greatest energies unfold behind the scenes, making mercury here secretive and reserved which can effect our line of communication with others. we may find that under this transit, we’re more cautious and hesitant around others. it’ll be harder to immediately believe the things that we hear as we’re more aware of people doing anything to present their best foot forwards and push forth their agendas. ⁣
⁣
the scales of giving and taking in our relationships may begin to tip during this season as scorpio often lacks self awareness due to being so perceptive of external factors. despite being more mentally reserved ourselves, we won’t take too kindly to secrets being kept from us. similarly, it may be harder for us to accept the way we are treated or spoken to (or about) by others, despite the fact that we ourselves aren’t always saints. ⁣
✨be analytical without getting carried away✨ your truth is not the universal truth✨ follow your gut✨ be cautious of falling down the conspiracy rabbit hole✨

✨L I B R A S E A S O N✨⁣
☼ inner peace means protection ~ survival ~ courage ~ and only you can give it to yourself ☼⁣
⁣
the sun has shifted into 0° libra, marking the beginning of the autumn equinox and start of beautiful libra season! libra season is a time for coming together and celebrating ourselves, our art, our beauty and our progress. this season is a time for seeking harmony between the working life that we dedicated ourselves to during virgo season and our social lives that we’ve missed since the end of leo season. ⁣
⁣
the earth and our environment’s are beginning to change and quite like the seasons, we are too. we may find that we have to make more sacrifices in order to collaborate harmoniously under the libra sun. however, we should be cautious that this desire for balance doesn’t lead us to abandoning ourselves for the sake of peace and other’s happiness. your opinions and needs are important~ honour them! there is never a sole decision that can satisfy everyone~ do what feels right for you and learn from the success/mistakes that you encounter!⁣
⁣
our creative expression will change this season and so will our tastes and aesthetic. you may find yourself re-inspired under the libra sun to explore hobbies, passions and crafts that you abandoned earlier in the year (or entirely new ventures). embrace your newfound liveliness and get experimental this season. the peace in our external world may not be close to being restored, but the restoration of your internal peace should be a priority!!⁣
⁣
✨where have you been feeling empty or incomplete?✨how can you enhance your home environment to positively impact your mental state?✨are you expressing yourself authentically?✨are you honouring you’re truth?✨are you celebrating yourself?✨

✨O B S E S S I O N✨⁣
~the trouble with conspiracies is that they rot internally~⁣
⁣
our private thoughts, psychologically charged minds and spiritual/occult interests are at the forefront of our minds today under mercury’s tight square with pluto (within 0.5°). its highly likely that we’ll take up problem-solving roles under this aspect (enhanced by mercury in libra) in which we seek to offer mental or spiritual clarity to those who reach out. ⁣
⁣
additionally, mercury in libra square pluto in capricorn sparks an interest in conspiracy as we are more in tune with our private thoughts and the shadows of society. our thinking may be challenged by external crisis or global experiences which may cause us to uncover secrets and perhaps get a bit obsessive with uncovering truth (pluto~obsssive desires). ⁣
⁣
there is a heightened chance for extremism under this aspect as pluto’s turbulent energies paired with mercury can trigger deep, mental transformations that aren’t always the best thing for us. whenever pluto’s energies are involved, there’s always a chance that things can get out of control and that we will be lead astray by the shadows. ⁣
⁣
be conscious of the information that’s shared with you under this aspect and cautious of how you digest, accept and pass it on. without realising, you may be forcefully exerting your ideas onto others. or, on the flip side, you may be at the receiving end of someone else’s influence and defensiveness.✨

thursday’s new moon will unfold at 25°01’ virgo. the grounding and humbling saturnian energies will transform this celestial event through an illuminating trine, causing us to take a pragmatic approach on setting our intentions for the upcoming month. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
deep down, we’re yearning to achieve big and completely turn things around during the final seasons of the year (new moon opposite neptune). however, the aura of abrupt saturn is bringing us back to reality and reminding us to set achievable and genuine goals for ourselves in order to avoid any more disappointment. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨navigating this transit may be particularly harder for aries, gemini, leo, scorpio, sagittarius, aquarius + pisces placements✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
energies typically run high under new moons which can prompt us to act on impulses and take chances that we weren’t motivated to do before. the martian ruled 25° that this new moon occurs at will only escalate this and lead us astray (mars is still restrained in retrograde!!) ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
~stick to what you know this new moon. refocus, recenter + realign yourself with small milestones that have the potential to lead to rewarding transformations. don’t let the external world cause you to fall apart or stray from your destiny!! ~

⁣
the beloved pairing of a jupiter-neptune sextile has breflly returned to fill us with momentary optimism. this aspect has aligned perfectly with the end of jupiter’s four month retrograde as he stationed direct yesterday at 17°24’ capricorn. ⁣
⁣
any mental and creative blockages that we may have faced in the last few months are being swept away as jupiter wanes in preparation to begin his forwards transit once again. whilst we may be mentally prepared to pursue our dreams and goals, we are now physically restrained by mars’s retrograde in aries (an unfortunate twist of events). ⁣
⁣
~on the brighter side, with neptune and jupiter joining forces, we may feel lighter and hopeful about the current state of global blockages. ~ until mars stations direct in november, we should rein our focus in on developing a positive, strong and HEALTHY mindset to combat and balance the surge of shadow energy surrounding us. ⁣
⁣
jupiter still resides in capricorn where he is in his fall positioning (struggling to function in the best way), reflecting the continuing obstruction of our optimism (sagittarius + pisces suns, moons & ascendants, hang in there 🌞✨🦋). over the next couple of weeks, we may develop a more realistic view of life which will aid in sharpening our focus on the present rather than unknown future. ⁣
⁣
career progressions and smaller milestones are more likely to be achieved ~particularly for taurus, gemini, capricorn + aquarius~ if we centre in on the things we need rather than desire.✨

⁣⁣
mars stationed retrograde on september 9th at 28°09’ aries which is his domicile (ruling sign), meaning he is operating in his highest functionality. the impact of his retrograde transit will affect aries, taurus, cancer, leo, libra, scorpio and capricorn placements to a deeper magnitude until mars stations direct at 15°14’ aries on november 13th.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
this three month transit will generate huge frustrations as our ability to charge forwards with passion and express ourselves will be hindered by the retrograde energies. we are being called to SLOW DOWN in all areas where we are naturally energised and driven. ✨look out for where mars resides in your birth chart!!✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
the 28th degree is significant to note, as this degree is represented by lunar energies. both the moon and mars are inherently subjective, which may cause us to handle any conflicts that arise with an overly self-entered approach. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
it’s imperative that we take the time to reflect, assess and truly understand any ‘negative’ emotions that arise during this time ~e.g. pain, fear, anger~ as ignoring and suppressing these emotions will only manifest as outbursts, projection and denial of our truth.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
refrain from rejecting the natural rhythms of your mind that makes you HUMAN. ~reclaim your power and heighten your self-awareness by allowing yourself to explore all of your feelings without being consumed by them~ relax ~ reaffirm~ refresh and restructure your mind and your body and environment will follow.

☼ love is ~ above all :: the gift of oneself ☼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
love is a playground for us to explore and our inner child is craving affection, excitement, praise and attention under venus’ transit through leo.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
venus entered this fixed fire archetype yesterday which caused our heart chakras to activate and begin operating in their greatest potency. we’re illuminated with warmth, pride, affection, playfulness and loyalty under this transit. we’re seeing the world through the eyes of our inner child, meaning love is everything that we grew up believing and yearning for it to be. ~ magnetic ~ romantic ~ dramatically ~ passionate ~ unconditional.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
any displays of adoration or appreciation are big and bold under this transit. venus in leo doesn’t buy a bouquet of flowers, she buys the entire florist, despite the fact that her partner was actually asking for a box of chocolates. bigger is always better for her and is almost always a reflection of the love that she feels and wants to receive in return. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
problems can arise under this transit when the scales of giving and receiving are unfavourably imbalanced. venus in leo craves physical independence, but is emotionally and materially dependent on others. she desires her freedom but wants others to make her their primary focus. we may unconsciously favour and prioritise our own needs ahead of others under this transit…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨~taurus, cancer, leo, libra, sagittarius, capricorn + pisces~ use this season to generate an abundance of self love that evens the scales of the respect and recognition that you seek from external forces.✨ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨~aries, gemini, virgo, scorpio, aquarius~ play the field and allow others to come to you naturally. embrace spontaneity, rather than seeking to influence/guilt others into doing what you desire of them.✨

☼ free yourself ~ you are trapped in a prison of overthinking ☼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
mercury shifted into libra today and will spend the next two weeks transiting this air sign. bringing forth an optimistic mind and urge to collaborate with others.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
libra often gets a poor reputation and isn’t considered as intelligent and capable of the other air signs which is an heavy misjudgement! libra is a team-player, peace-maker and most importantly, she’s highly socially intelligent. despite her conflicted mind slowing her down and diluting her drive, she is tremendously empathetic and wise.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
mercury in libra gives rise to perfectionism. coming to a decision is no longer enough for us, it has to be the right decision otherwise we’ll feel as though we’ve let ourselves and others down. our creativity and artistic natures will increase, as will our yearning to be surrounded by loved ones under this transit.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
the lesson under this transit is to learn and accept that it’s impossible to make everyone happy which is something that gemini, pisces and virgo placements may struggle with the most. remember that perfectionism can cause you to procrastinate!!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨ rely on others✨Share your workload✨ open up when people need you to ✨and allow life’s happenings to unfold with mystery as the universe intended for them to✨⁣

✨P E R C E P T I O N✨⁣⁣
☼ reality ~ is merely an illusion :: albeit a very persistent one ☼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
the moon has formed a conjunction with neptune in pisces today (within 2.4° + strengthening) which draws our focus to the illusionary state that we live under in society and how we are programmed to overlook our unique realities.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
we are sensitive and reactive to the gentlest of vibrations under a moon-neptune conjunction. our imagination is vibrant and our minds are particularly vivid. however, with the added influence of dreamy pisces, these energies are truly taken one step further to the point where our perception is hazy and distorted.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨who are you when you take away world and societal influences?✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
as humans, we not only deal with our personal illusions but the illusions instilled in us by our families, our nation and our global communities (~ illusionary devotion~ over identification with materialism~ believing our egocentric opinions are fact~ unhealthy attachments). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
we are allowing ourselves to be governed by forces that do not originate directly from our souls. we are abandoning our personal powers and allowing people IN power to control us. we are operating on automatic pilot rather than taking control of our perceptions.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨you are physically free, but are you mentally, emotionally and spiritually free?✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
moon—neptune conjunction advice:⁣⁣
☼ cry + release!!⁣⁣
☼ lots of creative expression.⁣⁣
☼ lower your defences.⁣⁣
☼ don’t instinctively respond ~ reflect. ⁣⁣
☼ follow your intuition.⁣
