1. Thursday October 4 – Moon Meditation: “I am strong of
mind and body…”
Moon into Gemini: As Mercury moves towards Saturn, it’s a really good moment to toughen
up mentally and physically! Do you believe you are strong or weak? Whichever you believe to
be true is true for you. That’s the way life goes. Attitude is everything. There is a growing
movement trying to say this is not true. I actually believe this is the dark forces reacting against
the light. Call me a nutter, but it’s very weird the way that people are popping up and saying
that thinking positively has no effect.
Of course it doesn’t, if you think it won’t!
“As I seek my greatest health and wealth, I must dig down deep within myself, Wherein lies the
root of all dysfunction, Which when owned, felt, understood and digested, Becomes the
medicine for which I have quested.” This week, after the electrical firestorms of last week will
feel quite calm, perhaps blue. It’s a weekend for inward traveling, perhaps to unravel the
complexities revealed recently. Find a nice cozy place and perhaps a nice cozy partner to relax,
feel, and renew. Aloha……
For the Week of October 4, 2012

2. The Aquarium Age is a report on the general astrological patterns
of the coming week for all signs, not just Aquariums.
The powerful hum of planetary motion rumbles through the
routines of daily life this week, and because stagnant
waters are particularly susceptible to its reverberations,
many of us are likely to encounter major or minor
disturbances in places we haven’t visited for a while. Pay
attention: We are entering into even deeper waters of
individual and collective transformation, and some of us
could be more than a little resistant to the shift. Defense
mechanisms, yours or others’, are certain to auto-set at
DEFCON 2, and because resetting those systems requires
gargantuan effort, you can anticipate spending plenty of
precious time talking about what went wrong and what’s
still wrong. But we’re not just in the stagnant waters of the
emotional body. We’re also sailing on the seas of psyche,
and skillfully navigating the depth of these potent and
mysterious waters requires the poignant vulnerability of an
open heart.
Saturn pulls us into the deep as it moves into Scorpio on
Friday, October 5, when it leaves Libra, the sign of relating,
atransit that began on October 29, 2009. While I’m not
implying that Libra and its vast domain of relationship are
superficial, Scorpio is, as they say in Oz, “a horse of a
different color.” Scorpio symbolizes the unchanging
process of change—birth, death, and rebirth—and thus
includes within its vast domain all the areas of life that are
out of our control, including life, itself. From a slightly less
abstract perspective, Scorpio also represents all the thorny
human themes, such as sex, politics, finance, secrecy,
privacy, and the process of transformation. Saturn stays in
Scorpio until December 2014, which gives us lots of time to
examine how we handle those issues.
Saturn signifies structure—wherever it is found, is where we
find the bones of things. There is nothing superfluous or
evenly mildly superficial about Saturn, unless we
characterize its penchant for fault and flaw finding as
trivial—mean-spirited on occasion, but never trivial. Saturn is
the principle that allows us to distill wisdom from
2/3

3. experience, and therefore it is both the student and the
teacher. And no matter how friendly you feel toward this
emblem of wisdom, eventually any honest definition of
Saturn will include the words “inhibition,” “limitation,” and
“concentration.” Scorpio is also no slouch when it comes
to the deep waters of the soul; it will feel Saturn’s presence
keenly, and so will we. Remember: Each of us has every
sign in our birth chart; each of us will feel Saturn’s shift into
Scorpio somewhere in our lives.
Saturn begins its transit of Scorpio in
a conjunction with Mercury, and both Saturn and
Mercury trine Neptune. We love this signature: A
Mercury/Saturn conjunction indicates the potential for deep
thinking. The trine with Neptune provides the potential for
imagination and intuition to amplify that intellectual
concentration. Do your best to stay calm through this
Saturnian transition. Sure, there are relationship threads
that still need gathering, but there’s plenty of time to find
resolution.
