Astrocast Overview
We’re looking at a relatively smooth week with a couple bumps midway through. Nothing that we can’t handle! Major themes include the 1st Quarter Moon on Tuesday at 11:02am at 23° of Capricorn. It’s time to commit, and in a grounding practical way. The challenge is overcoming doubts and fears that serve no purpose and hold us back from reaching fulfillment. How can we be useful?
Be sure to review your New Moon wish list from a week and a half ago. Where can you make adjustments to stay on course? Challenges arise starting Wednesday the 17th, the emotional grounding element gets airy when the Moon moves into Aquarius. We experience turbulence around our thoughts of love, and all of the uncertainty. We may pose questions like: Does it feel like its all wrong? Yet, the best way to navigate this territory is to see what the turbulence brings up for you, without judgment, and without fear that it’s going to be like this forever. Then, gently let it go.
Friday is noisy cosmic convention madness! However, despite the noise and minor challenges, it is mostly uplifting! In the backdrop, we must keep Venus Retrograde in mind. Remember, there’s no such thing as too much self care. This retrograde cycle is not here to stump us or set us back. On the contrary, this cycle is for making aware what is important to us regarding Venus values. How can we better balance our money, relationships, love, beauty and self-love.
Beyond that, the weekend is just ease. The most difficult aspect is getting a little carried away with our dreams. Neptune rules the silver screen as he dissolves reality. Ego dismantling, spirits and spirit realm, and possibly feeling as though we’re slipping into the house of undoing. Come Sunday, we arrive back at our senses and have a big opportunity to understand what is real and what isn’t.
Monday October 15 2018
Emotional Element: EARTH – Capricorn
Energy Mood: Ease
Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent
It’s an emotionally supportive day, as Mercury merges with Venus Retrograde. It’s favorable for talking about our feelings and getting really clear with what we want in terms of money, relationships and most importantly, what is important to us. The afternoon opens up the conversation to a loving arena, where space is made to invite deep conversation about serious issues, in a lighthearted tone that is received and understood. Perhaps, the thing we all want most is to express the things that are usually more difficult to express, and that’s a beautiful thing.

Tuesday October 16 2018
Emotional Element: EARTH – Capricorn
Energy Mood: Neutral
Moon Phase: Waxing First Quarter Moon
Energetically, today has a neutral vibe. The 1st Quarter Moon is exact at 11:02am at 23° of Capricorn. Do you feel the sudden urge to recommit, and in a practical way? How can we be of use to our goals? The challenge lies in overcoming doubts and fears that serve no purpose, as they hold us back from reaching fulfillment. In this territory, we’re inclined to re-read our New Moon wish list from a week and a half ago. Where can we make adjustments to stay on course? Make magic by filling in the blank canvas in your own special way.

Wednesday October 17 2018
Emotional Element: AIR – Aquarius
Energy Mood: Challenging
Moon Phase: Waxing First Quarter Moon
Frustrations build as we are swelling up with out of this world ideas, but unable to properly communicate them. We struggle with being and feeling misunderstood, and we can get carried away with our thoughts spinning us in circles that things aren’t moving forward as we would like them to. We feel restrained by boring old processes, and a failure at any attempt to reinvent the wheel. Can anyone hear us? Probably not today. Remember to stay to the path. Because, obstacles are just a reminder of the opportunity for growth and progress. So, at the end of the day, we win anyway.

Thursday October 18 2018
Emotional Element: AIR – Aquarius
Energy Mood: Challenging
Moon Phase: Waxing First Quarter Moon
With the Moon in square to Mercury and then conjunct Mars early Thursday morning, the day feels stormy, cloudy and possibly even grumpy. We are all operating with brain fog. It’s easy to spout off at the mouth unfiltered, but sometimes that’s needed to make a necessary shift and gain clarity. Remember to wear what you need to stay properly shielded; because, energetic protection is necessary today. It’s not meant to be rainbows and sunshine all the time. These dark grey moments allow us the opportunity to express emotions that can tend to get buried. If you have the opportunity to write out how you feel, or journal – you should take advantage of that today. When we write or express unfiltered, we get such raw and real results.

Friday October 18 2018
Emotional Element: AIR/WATER – Aquarius/Pisces
Energy Mood: Ease, with minor challenges
Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous Moon
Welcome to the cosmic convention of the week! So much chitter chatter. It’s dreamy, and loud. Subsequently, our emotions make it bigger. Despite the noise and minor challenges, ease outweighs the challenge. Remember, there’s no such thing as too much self care. Don’t forget Venus Retrograde in the back drop. This retrograde cycle is not here to stump us or set us back. On the contrary, this cycle is for making aware what is important to us regarding Venus values. How can we better balance our money, relationships, love, beauty and self-love. Something out of the blue could surface in the afternoon, that has the potential to materialize.

Saturday October 19 2018
Emotional Element: WATER – Pisces
Energy Mood: Ease
Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous Moon
If you’ve been struggling with this Venus retrograde cycle, today is the day to take advantage it. As we move toward the next star point of this Venus Synodic Cycle – toward the next inferior conjunction: Venus trine Moon says, I want to be loved. Even if Venus is retrograde. And not a flippant fast paced love, a long enduring lasting love. The Moons’ conjunction with Neptune will amplify that. Because Neptune dissolves reality, we may get carried away with our dreams, desires and ideals. Mix in ego dismantling, spirits and spirit realm, and possibly feeling as though we’re slipping into the house of undoing – and that’s your Saturday mash-up. To remain grounded in reality or get carried away in love (or the idea of love) is the question.

Sunday October 20 2018
Emotional Element: WATER/FIRE – Pisces/Aries
Energy Mood: Ease
Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous Moon
Today we arrive back at our senses. We have a big opportunity to understand what is real and what isn’t. Upsets don’t phase us and solutions come easy for sudden disruptions. We may even happily go along with a spontaneous situation that isn’t in alignment with our plans. Others are encouraging to try new and exciting things. While the evening fires up into a Moon shift into passionate Aries, we realize the Libra season is winding down. The next day or two we can take stock in the areas of our lives the Sun has lit. Where have you come over the past month?
