THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for October 2021

 THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for October 2021

Libra In October, the four planets Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto end their retrograde phases. This means that after an extended period of consolidation, new developments are increasingly in focus. Many things that may have been just loosely considered are now ready and able to be implemented. The next few months will show where the onward journey will lead.

In the first days of the month, important impulses come from the zodiac sign of Libra. Mars in Libra is in direct opposition to Chiron in Aries on October 1, and Mercury in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn. The Libra Sun is opposite Chiron on October 3 and Mercury trine Jupiter in Aquarius. Exactly at the Libra New Moon on October 6, Pluto ends its retrograde phase of just over 5 months, and Venus enters Sagittarius a day later. These are days that give reason for hope. There will be extensive communication and an increased search for agreement instead of separation. Many a smoldering conflict could now be defused or even ended through much commitment, in the personal sphere as well as on the political stage. Now, a longer period begins in which positive concepts of life receive stronger resonance than before. The more relaxed overall mood may also indicate a harmonious time on the relationship level.

Saturn From October 8 to 10, the Sun, Mars and Mercury are conjunct in Libra, reaffirming the desire for a better world. What kind of better world is envisaged, however, must first be clarified. Saturn ends its retrograde period on October 11 and wants to do its part. True to form, Saturn will probably do this by introducing new rules. However, divided camps still have the opportunity to gradually come closer again and settle their differences. Since Jupiter also ends its 4-month retrograde phase on October 18, the chances for such initiatives are also good in the longer term. Mercury turns direct on the 18th, too, in exact opposition to Chiron. One day later, Mars forms a trine with Jupiter. If you suddenly realize that some things are now easier for you than before, enjoy this feeling, but keep at it! The Aries Full Moon on October 20 is square Pluto - this could be a powerful and worthy conclusion to a very fruitful and creative period.

Scorpio In the days following the Full Moon, the quality of time will change perceptibly. On the 22nd, Mars squares Pluto, and on the 23rd the Sun enters Scorpio. The mood now becomes more profound, critical and somewhat darker in tone. After the more exalted days before, introverted types can now get their money's worth again, especially when Venus squares Neptune on October 27 and it becomes clear that the soul wants to be nourished just as much as the body. There could be a great longing during this time, also because the general mood has changed quite suddenly. Then at the end of the month, with the Sun in tension with Saturn and the ingress of Mars into Scorpio, only the airy trine between Mercury and Jupiter reminds us that there are times when some things happen as if by magic. These are the days when vigorous work is required to make progress.

Rider Waite card No 54, V of Swords

Swords: Five

Astrological Correspondence: Venus in Aquarius. [For more information, click]

Keywords: defeat, loss, failure, conflicts.

Description: The Five of Swords indicates a verbal argument of sorts. The querent seems to have the upper hand, but it is definitely not a pleasant situation. This is also a card of walking away from a person or situation that is no longer useful in our life. Defeat in battle, a conflict will go against you. Cut your losses and swallow your pride. You may have to back-track and start again. The course you are on will bring nothing but misery. You must accept that a change of direction is necessary.

Upright Associations: Defeat, loss, failure, negative thoughts and attitudes. Winning at the expense of another. Communication problems, arguments, humiliation, insensitivity.

Reversed Associations: Mourning, a funeral, distress, remorse. Clearing the air, truth at any cost. Dejection, vengeance, vindication, end of slander.
