Back in May and June of this year, a terrible incident of a type too often repeated in this country turned out much different than it had before, even in the recent past. I am referring to the homicide of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the end of last May, something current readers should have no problem at all remembering, but I will go into some of the details for anyone reading this years from now. A man named George Floyd was arrested due to a call from a food market alleging that he had bought a pack of cigarettes with a counterfeit bill. When the police arrived, Floyd was arrested, and then after a struggle to get him in a car he ended up on the ground with…

YOUR OCTOBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Giving back. Work or volunteer for a group or organization whose goals mirror your own, Gemini. This may be something you have wanted to do for a while, but the Full Moon shining in your solar 11th on the 1st gives such thoughts a sense of urgency. This could be related to the upcoming elections, but whatever it is, you will be happy to get involved and do your part. 9th-16th: Shaping up. On the 13th, Mercury stations retrograde in your solar 6th so carve out time in your schedule to get in tiptop shape. Prepare healthy meals and work out regularly.

YOUR OCTOBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Looking great. Be proud of how disciplined you have been in keeping to a strict health and fitness regimen, Virgo. With Venus entering your sign on the 2nd, go ahead and flaunt how beautiful you feel, both inside and out. Buy a new outfit, accessorize, and get a new hairdo. You will have no trouble getting noticed, and the accoutrements will be the icing on the cake. 9th-16th: Travel time. On the 10th Venus in your sign forms a trine to Uranus in your solar 9th, so plan a trip to a destination you have never been to that you can explore with your significant other or a close friend. It should be a place that combines recreational and educational activities, somewhere to go that is…

You might even be rewarded financially in recognition for standing firm for what you believe in. 9th-16th: Team player. The New Moon occurs in your solar 11th on the 16th so join friends you love hanging out with at a book club, class, or ongoing meetings that you will find exciting and intellectually stimulating.

Venus enters your solar 7th on the 2nd and Pluto stations direct in your solar 11th on the 4th, so leave work in the office and take the weekend off.

Our feature articles this month include some lighthearted thoughts on Venus, Mars, and love, along with some more serious thoughts on matters weighing on our minds as this issue is finished — issues that likely will still be on everyone’s minds when October comes around. The article on love has an interesting twist to it, based on a popular classic TV series, The Love Boat, but I’ll only give a little bit of the secret away: an astrologer had a lot to do with its creation. The more serious article, which focuses on comparing the history of pandemics and how that illuminates the current dilemma that had us all wearing masks, gloves, and keeping our distance from each other from very early in the year. There has been some news…

The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse are allegorical figures mentioned in Zechariah and Ezekiel in the Old Testament and in Revelation in the New Testament. While the individual figures themselves have been given varying interpretations, in a general sense they represent the fact that conquest, war, famines, and plagues (as either disease, or swarms of insects or other creatures) are known to have afflicted the human race since recorded history began. The latest outbreak of pestilence, ‟Coronavirus disease 2019,” which we now know simply as Covid-19, is a viral disease first noticed in Wuhan, China, a city with a population of over 11 million people that features an open-air “wet” market where live animals such as bats, birds, snakes, rabbits, and more exotic animals are traded and bought, whether for…

Last month, we discussed Mars’ retrograde station. This month, Mars continues in retrograde motion in Aries and goes through his opposition to the transiting Sun at 21 Libra on October 13. This aspect probably qualifies as the retrograde period’s culmination, one demanding of us (so to speak) increased awareness of our projections – a challenge explored below. We will also speak a bit about Mercury’s retrograde station on October 13 – the same day, note, as the Sun-Mars opposition, so expect that day to have more than its share of frustrations – and Venus’ transit through Virgo October 2-27. Finally, we look at transiting Venus’ aspects to natal Uranus. Mars Retrograde As I’ve said before, Mars doesn’t particularly like it when he turns retrograde; however, as we know, we often…

Be assertive and persuasive without being aggressive. 9th-16th: Profitable artistry. Venus in your solar 6th forms a trine to Uranus in your solar 2nd on the 10th, so you will be motivated to turn your artistry into a profitable venture. With the New Moon falling in your solar 7th on the 16th ask someone you love and respect to partner with you. If they do not…

YOUR OCTOBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Get involved. Get active and support a cause you believe in, whether at your day job, through volunteer work, or by making donations, Cancer.

Speak softly but persuasively and listen to what others have to say, even when their opinions differ from your own. 9th-16th: Your priority list. With the New Moon falling in your solar 4th on the 16th your family may let you know they feel as if they are at the bottom of your priority list. They don’t want to put a damper on last week’s activism, but would like to spend more time with you. Get them involved in the causes that move you,…

YOUR OCTOBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Art of compromise. You might consider starting a small business with a trusted friend, Libra.

You can add zest to your life this month, and maybe find love, money, or success. The planets are calling attention to the signs that represent some of the most important areas of your life. This month has two Full Moons, with the first on October 1 in Aries, and the second on October 31 in Taurus. When two full Moons occur in a single month, the second is referred to as a “Blue Moon.” This is a relatively rare event, hence the phrase “Once in a Blue Moon” has come to mean an unusual occurrence. This month’s Blue Moon invites you to review your finances and your ethical values. This is a good time to work on budgets, and to figure out ways to improve your income or to…

October 2020 All positions are for Midnight EST. The longitudes table indicates each planet’s daily position in the signs. The declinations table shows each planet’s placement north or south of the celestial equator. “R” in a planet’s listing in the longitude table indicates that it begins retrograde motion on that date, or may indicate retrograde status at the beginning of the month. “D” means that the planet has resumed its forward (direct) motion in the signs. Exact times for all of these phenomena are given in the Hourly Guide and in the Planning Calendar on the pages following this one.…
