Today Beau­ty (Venus/Love) meets the
Beast (Pluto/Will) and they have a sto­ry to weave for you…

It is about your Pre­cious Love and your
Sacred Space…

Venus hav­ing just faced her Uran­ian
dilem­ma of find­ing the bal­ance between, and the inte­gra­tion of, your conjoined
needs for Rela­tion­ship and Free­dom now encoun­ters an even big­ger chal­lenge. How
do you move clos­er to one anoth­er, how do you forge deep­er unions where­in you must
give way to one anoth­er, while at the same time main­tain your sep­a­rate self within
the integri­ty of your own sacred space?

You as a self-aware, self-con­scious spark
of the Divine have formed your­self upon your val­ues, which it at the very
cen­ter of you coa­lesce around your Star-like core to estab­lish the Love (Venus)
of you for you. Your per­son­al love of your Self flows from and returns to this
core of you, which is a spark of the Divine essence and is expressed as True or
Uncon­di­tion­al Love (or what many call the Beloved).

Equal­ly, through your Will (Plu­to) you establish
the bound­aries for your own Sacred Space, the space of you. For you, being a
con­scious spark of the Divine, pre­side over your own sacred realm…and yet surrounding
you, through­out all the spaces of space, there exist an infin­i­ty of sacred
spaces too. For the Space that sur­rounds you is filled with won­ders, there is
no empti­ness anywhere…You move with­in your own space but you also move in and
through these spaces of oth­ers too. 

And as you move from form to form, in
age after age, you will encounter many of these oth­er sacred spaces, some less
and some much more famil­iar, and you find that they each radi­ate with their own
spe­cial essence (as do you too)…and some, some of these will have a more special
call­ing for you…

You will feel an irre­sistible pull to be
with one anoth­er, for it streams from the Supreme force that holds the universe
together…and this is Love. For at the core of every­thing and every­one is that
spark of the Divine whose aware­ness you see look­ing back at you in your
beloved’s eyes…no won­der you catch your breath…as you behold a spark of
that radi­ant Splendor…and so you fall deeply, mad­ly in love…

Here­in you meet your joy…and therein
you will meet the dan­ger for you and your beloved too. And at this moment,
when­ev­er there is a Square as here between Venus and Plu­to, there is a tendency
to be pushed into extremes and you stum­ble and fall…you are not yet fully
pre­pared and you fail to fol­low the Spir­i­tu­al way, the mid­dle path of
inte­gra­tion in Love and Will.

As always, the dan­ger aris­es from your
past and the fears it car­ries for­ward to you now…You may fear the oth­er does
not love you enough or in the way you wish to be loved, and so you use your
will to attempt to make them be towards you as you would wish. Or, per­haps it
is you not meet­ing their needs as they would wish, and out of fear they attempt
to use guilt or manip­u­la­tion or threats to bring you back to them. 

The fear of loss of love leads you to
the vio­la­tion of your sacred spaces…you tres­pass upon one anoth­er and even
more deeply dam­age the Love that is there, yes always there, at the core of
each of you. In the shad­ows born of yes­ter­days, in the shad­ow of your fears, you
stum­ble and vio­late one anoth­er’s sacred space by your mis­use of your Will. 

The awe­some pow­er of Plu­to is twist­ed so
that it does not cre­ate a shared sacred space of love, it does serve to
pre­serve and pro­tect your love, but instead it becomes the ser­vant of Fear and
Con­trol, and you harm one anoth­er, again.

You must see this moment as another
chance…to get it right this time. You need turn away from Fear, to turn with
Love and Under­stand­ing, and build a shared sacred space of Love togeth­er if you
can…and if you can­not, then per­haps it is not meant to be this time…because
you can­not force or be forced and call that Love…

You are here to learn to love yourself
and the oth­er too and there is but One Way…Unconditionally…Spiritually…Divinely…for
that is who you are! 

There is no way to make some­one Love you nor can you be
loved with­out cre­at­ing, hon­or­ing and pre­serv­ing each oth­er’s own sacred spaces…Together,
Will­ing­ly you must do this…For this is the way to Love…this is the way to
make your Shared Sacred Space of Love.

This is the Way of Love and Sacred
Space.

This is the Divine in all the Spaces of
Space.

This is the Beloved with­in and before
you too.

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!
