Venus in Libra is draw­ing you towards
one anoth­er in ever more beau­ti­ful relationships. 

Along comes Uranus in Aries to remind
you, what about Free­dom, what about you being more true to you?

That ques­tion is a dilem­ma you face
in your journey…and that you espe­cial­ly face today. How do you strike the
prop­er bal­ance between your need to be for one anoth­er but also be true to
your­self too? 

That is how it may seem at times…Venus
implores you to join togeth­er by giv­ing of your­self for and to the oth­er, where
what is of most impor­tance for you is that which stands between the I and the
Thou…that third thing called “We”. The rela­tion­ship seem­ing­ly requires
all, it wish­es to be first and fore­most in your thoughts and con­duct… but
with such a pow­er push­ing and pulling you may fall into error and give way too
much, you lose or sur­ren­der what you may need to be your Self.

Uranus pulls you now to re-assert your
individuality…Uranus shocks you into the supreme real­iza­tion that you need, that
you must be more tru­ly you! But of course, this need not, indeed should not
come at the expense or loss of your rela­tion­ship too…You should feel the
neces­si­ty to sac­ri­fice for rela­tion­ship, but how do you know how not to
sac­ri­fice what is essen­tial in what makes you You? 

The key of course is always twofold:

Know thy­self! Love one another!

Uranus/Individuality will always help
you to more tru­ly know your­self, and so you are able to dis­cern what is more
true to you than not. Then you can rea­son­ably cleave to what you must and let go
of what you will to make the more per­fect “We”. By giv­ing way at what
was indeed incon­se­quen­tial, you actu­al­ly become more of your­self through the
relationship!

Venus/Love will always help you to be more
per­fect­ly your­self as you express your love of self in equal mea­sure to
your love for the oth­er too. The Free­dom to be one­self can only be real­ized in a
rela­tion­ship where two or more per­sons under­stand one anoth­er, cel­e­brate their
unique indi­vid­u­al­i­ties with one anoth­er, and so encour­age and sup­port one
anoth­er’s self-real­iza­tion in their shared space of free­dom ded­i­cat­ed to
hon­or­ing each per­son­’s truth.

Venus and Uranus show you
today that you can only become your true self by being in a shared space of
mutu­al sup­port and under­stand­ing. That by join­ing with those who know themselves,
and who can there­by under­stand and sup­port who you are too, it is then possible
for you to be your­self as they can too, because you have each brought forth
from with­in your­selves your true natures with­in this lov­ing space of Freedom.

Cel­e­brate Venus and Uranus
as they illu­mi­nate your need for Love and Free­dom as being inex­tri­ca­bly joined
in this won­drous dance of Dis­cov­ery, Self-real­iza­tion and Love…

Your spi­ral jour­ney, of I and Thou, as you move togeth­er into a more per­fect Lov­ing We.

Luna is arch­ing towards her out­er­most station…she
has passed beyond that cir­cling path­way Earth traces around your Star. Out
there in the spaces beyond, you see Luna in her mir­rored light…see how
beau­ti­ful­ly she reflects your Solar Orb, whose stream­ing won­ders now carry
mean­ings forged with­in the mys­ter­ies of Scor­pi­o’s realm. 

Luna rid­ing high in Tau­rus shines
bright­ly in the heavens…she offers her gift to you, Peace, which is the way
of bal­ance, your inte­gral way. For this is always the Gift of Spir­it, that each
Sign, each way of being needs to find its heal­ing mid­dle way, the pendulum
bal­anced in coun­ter­point by and through its oppos­ing member.

The days of Scor­pio thrill with the
pur­suit of deep­er con­nec­tions, of forg­ing unions that require and depend upon
the sac­ri­fice of your less­er self in order to become greater togeth­er. Your
pas­sions soar as you can sense the joy that waits for you as you slip beyond
your alone­ness and expe­ri­ence the won­der, the won­der of two becom­ing as one.

But in any such deeply div­ing forges,
where you endeav­or to join the “I and Thou”, you ever run the risk
that you might ere…and either be seem­ing­ly forced or mere­ly to choose poorly,
and that you end up mak­ing a sac­ri­fice of what is nec­es­sary for you to be you. You
might gain the Pyrrhic prize of becom­ing part of We…but the truest part of
you, and so you in fact, you are no longer there!

Luna shines her mir­rored light upon
you…she reminds you that you and what you hold with­in your space are sacred.
That when you seek to cre­ate those shared sacred spaces with anoth­er, that you are to
let go of the less­er with­in you, but you must always hon­or the Greater that
makes you a One…Your core Val­ues, Prin­ci­ples and Beliefs can­not be
sacrificed…because that would be a false sacrifice. 

The very word Sac­ri­fice means to
“Make Sacred”. You give up the less­er and glo­ri­fy the greater within
you (and with­in the oth­er too), for that is the path to a True Union. You each
hon­or what is greater with­in you both, you hon­or your core val­ues (which are
more alike than not), and you sac­ri­fice the periph­er­al mat­ters that kept you
apart from one anoth­er. True sac­ri­fice is ennobling and uplift­ing as you move
from a less­er state of being into the Greater Understanding.

This is Luna’s gift to you now…

That as you join with one anoth­er in
this time of Scor­pio you will and must sac­ri­fice some things to make this
happen… 

Luna shines her won­drous light in order
to remind you: 

You must remem­ber and hold to what makes
you the spe­cial spark of the Divine that you are…and you must Love this with
all your might…

That in so doing, you hon­or your­self and
the oth­er too!

For you are fol­low­ing an ancient
pathway…

The great­est prize and trea­sure is just
ahead…You are clos­er now…

Bow your head, give great thanks…

You approach the Cross­ing point of The
Light.

Mer­cury is mak­ing a move tonight as
well, but this change is not all that it would seem. Mer­cury is mov­ing from
Scor­pio to Sagit­tar­ius, that is true, but he is head­ing towards his next
ret­ro­grade peri­od start­ing on Novem­ber 6 and he will return to Scor­pio on
Novem­ber 14, then turn direct on Novem­ber 26 and so final­ly re-enter
Sagit­tar­ius on Decem­ber 10…whew! That is quite a cir­cuitous jour­ney for your
men­tal life to be taking!

But tonight and till Novem­ber 14 your
mind needs to stretch towards encom­pass­ing what you just expe­ri­enced in Scorpio’s
watery realms. Those deep dives elicit­ed strong feel­ings and emo­tions as you
encoun­tered the great­est mys­ter­ies of “I and Thou”, of the sacrifice
and promise of your Trans­for­ma­tion­al Unions…but now, now you need to
understand…what does it mean?

The recent jour­neys through the
mys­te­ri­ous depths of Scor­pio have brought you to deep­er intuitional
under­stand­ings, you crossed bound­aries and drew clos­er, you moved into that
space of “We”…and you changed one anoth­er. But now you need to take
that won­drous feel­ing and bring it to a more con­scious experience…you need to
place your expe­ri­ences into a wider con­text of meaning…How?

Sagit­tar­ius rules the gift of your
fore­bears, the teach­ings passed down from time immemo­r­i­al, it is the perennial
gift, the “Well of Wis­dom”, which you now draw upon. Whether singly
or in com­bi­na­tion, you should explore the halls of Reli­gion, Phi­los­o­phy and Science,
for what they offer will help you to pierce through the swirling mists by
pro­vid­ing per­spec­tive align­ment, and you will be able to espy the Truth of what
was felt…and so explain your sto­ry to yourself…

Yet equal to this is the “oth­er
half”, that your expe­ri­ence, your sto­ry is part of the Greater Sto­ry too…You
will not only dip into the Well of Wis­dom but you add to it too! Your
expe­ri­ence becomes part of the ever-expand­ing, cease­less­ly grow­ing body of
truth that moves us all clos­er to the Truth…for this is how it has always
been, you find your path to under­stand­ing by explor­ing and sharing…together.

Mer­cury ris­es out of the Waters and into
the Fires of Sagittarius…

You seek the path of Truth, the royal
road of Understanding…

Seek the Truth…Live in Truth!

Love­ly Aphrodite returns to her home sign of Libra for the next three
weeks…your sen­si­bil­i­ties about aes­thet­ics and rela­tion­ships re-attune to the
over-arch­ing need to cre­ate, main­tain and extend the bless­ings of harmony,
beau­ty and bal­ance in and through your world.

The time for analy­sis and cri­tique has passed, now is the time to seek for
Beau­ty and Consensus…to cel­e­brate the won­ders of Art and Nature and share
with one anoth­er the car­ing bestowed by your Social Sen­si­bil­i­ties, for they
serve as the bridge for how you lov­ing­ly join with one another.

Beau­ty in form and func­tion, in things and ideas…or found in one anoth­er will
stir your soul and quick­en your heart. But above all, to share in these
beau­ties with one anoth­er, to seek, find and share in the beau­ty with and of
one anoth­er, this above all will Venus bring to you now…

Venus dances into Libra…she asks you to remem­ber, always remem­ber the one
per­fect principle…

That you Love, just joy­ful­ly and pure­ly love this life, and that you simply…

Love one another!

Well what a whirl­wind of change is going
on today! 

Mars lines up with Jupiter, Venus
returns to Libra and Mer­cury makes a for­ay into Sagittarius…you are
def­i­nite­ly going to be feel­ing a change in the Winds of Spir­it today!

Mars is dri­ving you for­ward with
unbound­ed ide­al­ism as he aims for your one true way in Sagit­tar­ius. When you
have Truth on your side, well there is just no restrain­ing how far you might
reach…or over-reach!

Today you get a reminder that you need
to con­sid­er this: that your heart’s desire needs to be ever guid­ed by a more
nuanced understanding…and that you will find that as you walk the path of
truth you will see that your real growth of under­stand­ing is mea­sured and balanced
by the depth of your humil­i­ty too…

Jupiter in Gem­i­ni is offer­ing this
help­ful per­spec­tive, hold­ing forth that life is about con­trari­ness, diversity
and hon­or­ing mul­ti­ple points of view and sen­si­bil­i­ty. If you do not heed this
warn­ing, your enthu­si­asms for what is “right” (for you) can turn out
to be ter­ri­bly wrong for the many, and so in your pur­suit of what you believe
is truth you will impose upon oth­ers a greater untruth…by deny­ing to them a
space of belief and action as well.

The ques­tion posed now: are you acting
(Mars) right­eous­ly or self-right­eous­ly? The dif­fer­ence is to be found in your
moti­va­tion and intent. If you wish to fol­low the path of right­eous­ness, your
actions (Mars) must be guid­ed by prin­ci­ples (Jupiter) that are informed by your
high­er, intu­itive and ever more inclu­sive con­scious­ness. For it is by such
guid­ance, that comes from your high­er self, that calm steady voice from deep
with­in, that you will under­stand that the path­way to truth is found­ed upon
con­stant ques­tion­ing, com­par­i­son, con­trast, col­lab­o­ra­tion and inte­gra­tion. Instead,
that when you pur­sue a path of action that is based upon self-defensive
cer­ti­tudes and a closed mind…it will end poor­ly for you and others…

Mars in the pur­suit of the Truth may
push you into cer­tain­ties while blaz­ing his trail through Sagittarius…and
won­der­ful­ly now, and how appro­pri­ate too, that the nec­es­sary coun­ter­point is
deliv­ered by the very ruler of Sagit­tar­ius. Jupiter in Gem­i­ni shows Mars that
by shin­ing such a focused bright light upon what­ev­er may be the issue, you will
inevitably cre­ate and cast a very deep shad­ow too…and you can­not know or
under­stand what you can­not “see”.

Jupiter in Gem­i­ni reminds Mars that the
path­way to truth is often cir­cuitous. The way to reduce these self-cast shadows
that cre­ate your bound­ed beliefs, (to move beyond these half-truths that lead to
doubt, fear, pain and suf­fer­ing), is to shine many
lights, embrace many dif­fer­ent per­spec­tives or points of view as you share,
com­pare, con­trast and learn from one another…

Jupiter is help­ing Mars to open your
search for Truth…

For you may only approach the tem­ple of
Greater Under­stand­ing with Humility…

To remem­ber, that your Search for Mean­ing is an ever spiraling,
upward reach­ing towards the Light that can only be perceived…

By Shar­ing and Learn­ing and Being with and for
one another.
