Astrological Perspectives for October 2011
By Govinda
Edited by Janet Samadhi Rose
We are in a time of evolutionary shifts and profound awakenings. Spiritual awareness is expanding and a higher potential for the well-being of all of Humanity is now available to us. The planets Jupiter and Pluto are in a favorable alignment (a Trine Aspect) from June 8th, 2011 thru April 10th, 2012. This alignment reaches its peak energetic expression on October 28th of this year!
Pluto is the planet that represents profound transformation, spiritual evolution, spiritual power and the Collective Unconscious. Jupiter is the planet that has to do with philosophy, wisdom, abundance, expansion, prosperity, foreign cultures and travel. In combination, these two planets bless us by downloading and expanding Divine intuitive wisdom from the higher spiritual dimensions into the Collective Consciousness of Humanity. This is an auspicious time to move into a place of pure non-resistance, and allow this Divine wisdom to guide us to our highest potential.
Foreign relations and intercultural communications will also benefit from this expanded wisdom. Through cooperative ventures and agreements between organizations, communities, states and countries, we can combine our talents and resources for the good of all.
On a metaphysical level, these energies combine to reveal spiritual power that is within all of us. To access this power and its potential to change our world, we simply need to release our resistance to it. Dare to hold a feeling vision of what it would be like to have your desires manifesting ‘now.’
Anything that has a beginning during this Trine aspect will be blessed and supported by these energies. Especially those that involve healing, self-help, support for the environment, counseling and higher education.
In addition to the Jupiter/Pluto long-term cycle, we are also blessed by a series of significant short-term cycles (from October 8th thru November 6th), that open channels to the spiritual realms, expand spiritual understanding and support intuitive development.
Here are the specific cycles by name and duration:
Mercury Trine Neptune – October 8th thru 15th
Mercury Sextile Pluto – October 12th thru 20th
Sun Trine Neptune – October 13th thru 29th
Sun Sextile Pluto – October 20th thru November 6th
Look to where the energies of Taurus, Capricorn, Libra and Scorpio are in your Natal Chart for clues about where these powerful, breakthrough possibilities and spiritual realizations may be most naturally experienced and developed by you.
As an individual, you may receive insights that support the development of your personal abilities and gifts. You may become aware of how you can use these for the well-being and healing of Humanity, the environment and your personal relationships. Set your intentions to heal and resolve your own personal problems, move into that place of pure non-resistance and allow Divine wisdom to guide you.
The first 22-1/2 days of October brings the relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking and artistic energies of the Sun in the sign of Libra. This is a wonderful time for social activities and gatherings. Libra energies support us in seeing the perspectives of others and finding balance between opposing points of view. By honestly looking at what is being reflected back to us through our relationships, we will gain an understanding of our true personal nature. We may be able to accomplish our goals and projects more effectively by working in partnerships with others.
From October 4th thru the 22nd, the Sun aligns with Saturn in a Conjunct Aspect. This is a time for personal mastery by examining and evaluating the structures of your life and the commitments you have made with others. Ask yourself, “Are these in harmony with my true principles?” and “Are they serving my soul’s evolution?” Because the planet Saturn is also in Libra, this is a good time to take responsibility for your part in your relationships. Focus on any relationship issues you may have and take practical action to resolve the imbalances. Self-analysis, honesty, emotional processing, contemplation and meditation will support you in doing this.
The Full Moon occurs on October 11th (7:06 pm Pacific Daylight Time), at 18 degrees in the sign of Aries. You may find that people are more impulsive and emotionally hot now! Be aware of a tendency, yourself, to be more serious about your relationships and critical of others. Let go of the attachments about how you think others should behave. All attempts to control the uncontrollable, is futile and destined to cause deep frustration. The only one you can control – is you! It is good to be honest about your own feelings and desires, and to process any negative emotions you may feel. Insights into emotional matters are available to those who are willing to look beyond their fears. A higher, more sacred love is in the air; you can realize this through compassionate and charitable actions.
The New Moon occurs on October 26th, 12:56 pm (56 minutes after Noon, Pacific Time), at 3 degrees in the sign of Scorpio. This begins a lunar month (29 ½ days) with a focus on deepening our emotional natures, developing our spirituality, creatively expressing our ideals and compassion for others. Take time to develop these spiritual qualities in all of your relationships.
On October 23rd (at 11:30 am Pacific Time), the Sun enters a 30-day period of the deep-feeling, emotional, intense, secretive and mystical sign of Scorpio. This is a powerful time to gain awareness of your own deep emotional nature and to consciously connect with Source energy. Look for, and serve, the Divine in others and in the world. When you do this, you will discover deeper meaning and potential for your life.
The planet Saturn is in its exaltation (in the sign of Libra), from October 2009 thru October 5th, 2012. Saturn loves to be in the sign of Libra. In this exalted position, Saturn supports the creation of commitments, structures and partnerships that are in harmony with the principles of Higher Truth and Love.
Conclusion
Regardless of appearances in this world, we are in a time of personal and collective breakthroughs, developments, empowerments and miracles. When we open our minds and hearts to the wisdom and power that is within us, and surrender our resistance to the well-being and abundance that is available to us, we can experience true freedom and joy.
“There are two ways to live:
You can live as if nothing is a miracle;
You can live as if everything is a miracle.”
