Step up to the Mirror
Own the Love
Relationships have our attention every year during the New
Moon of Libra, but for several reasons (Mercury's retrograde
into Libra, Venus making several aspects to the outer planets)
this topic is even more important this year.
Clients and friends who know of my relationship with Chuck
Adams often ask me how I got so lucky. It is true I am blessed
with a partner who is affectionate, generous, and deeply
spiritual. But I always tell them...relationship is not so
much about the other person as it is about you.
How can that be? Aren't you looking for the "right mate?"
Isn't it important to find the "right one?" In my experience,
the issue is not so much finding the right mate. That will
happen naturally but what is more important is "being the
right mate."
All relationships begin and end with you. If you are not open
to sharing yourself honestly and openly and if you question
whether you are worthy of love, there is no one who will ever
be able to storm the walls or convince you to receive the love
they offer.
You need to begin the deep work of ridding yourself of all the
critical voices from other relationships (parents, teachers,
or old relationships). You need to love and accept yourself
just as you are, imperfect but still growing.
After all, why do you expect someone else to love you if you
can't love yourself?
When your relationship with yourself is healthy, you are able
to look upon another with acceptance of their human frailties
and find their unique qualities are beautiful or at least
interesting rather than troubling.
When you are struggling with unloved parts of yourself, they
will be projected on others. In truth, our relationships are
wonderful mirrors where we project our unhealed stuff and
then, if we are not aware, blame the other person for it.
When challenges come due to differences of point-of-view,
rather than blame the relationship, I suggest you "step up to
the mirror." Discuss the situation as if you are talking to a
different part of yourself with the same love and acceptance
you would give to yourself. Open to what the other person is
feeling and you may be surprised how quickly the tension is
defused and solutions appear. This is what I call "owning the
Love."
This month the planetary energies are offering support for
"stepping up to the mirrors" past and present, whether they
are easy or challenging, and "own the Love" that is there when
you truly honor your self and accept differences in others.

A Quote of Note
"Security in a
relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in
nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or
anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting
it as it is now."

Astrological Events
NOTE: These days contain strong energies that influence everyone
to a greater or lesser degree. Consult a professional astrologer
for more detailed and personal information.
Thursday, Oct 11, 1:01 am ET - NEW MOON at 18 Libra
With the New Moon in Libra we all have an opportunity to renew and
refresh our exiting relationships or open the door to new
connections. With support from Neptune and Jupiter, you could find
warmth and healing, but you must be willing, of course.
If you wish upon the New Moon (within 3 days before or after), you
have the possibility of fulfillment by the time of the Full Moon. Libra
New Moon
wishes relate to: marriage,
negotiating skills, harmony, teamwork, sociability/diplomacy,
refinement, and healing codependency.
Friday, Oct 12 - Mercury goes
retrograde at 9 Scorpio
Coming on the heels of a New Moon, during
this Mercury retrograde the reviewing we do may just be concerning
past relationships. Don't be surprised if old flames or friends
return to your life giving another chance to forgive.
Sunday, Oct 14 - Venus conjoins
Saturn in Virgo
Sometimes the people we love and the things
we care about can be a burden. You might find yourself focused on
what isn't working in your relationship. Why not measure the
security it provides and the value of consistency.
Tuesday, Oct 23 - Saturn conjoins
the South Node of the Moon
Dissatisfaction with others and our self
from the past can lead to a downward spiral or to the realization
that we are wounded and doing our best. Forgiveness is what we do
for ourselves in order to move forward without baggage.
Thursday, Oct 25 - Venus in Virgo
opposes Uranus in Pisces
Following the continuing theme this month of
relationships, today we are urged to open to new ways of relating.
Be creative and imaginative with others.
Friday, Oct 26, 12:51 am ET - FULL
MOON at 3 Taurus
The stability of the Taurus Moon faces off
with the Sun in Scorpio's desire to go deeper at the same time as
Pluto is making its last pass of the Galactic Center. It is a good
time to set you intention clearly so the universe can assist in
manifesting it. Your personal values really can influence your
financial outcome.
Monday, Oct 29 - Venus in Virgo
squares Jupiter in Sagittarius
Prudence is being challenged by the urge for
expansion today. Bold gestures and extravagant actions are best
balanced by reason.
Tuesday, Oct 30 - Jupiter in
Sagittarius sextiles Neptune in Aquarius
These two inspirational planets offer
opportunity for opening to imagination and hope. From the
inspiration of your inner truth, worldly goals feel possible now
and totally real.
Thursday, Nov 1 - Mercury goes
direct at 23 Libra
Hooray! Relationship glitches and other
communication problems of the past 3 weeks have a chance for
resolution in the next few days. Take steps to clear up
misunderstandings.
Tuesday, Nov 6 - Venus in Virgo
squares Pluto in Sagittarius
Your ideals and the practicalities of life
may clash. Look for creative solutions.

Astro Mini-Lesson
The Elements: FIRE
Having completed the descriptions of the aspects last month, we will
now explore the significance of the Elements. There are four
elements to which every sign has an affinity.
The yang element of Fire represents energy,
enthusiasm and inspiration. The joy of living and the spiritual side
of our nature comes through the Fire element. The Fire signs -
Aries, Leo, and
Sagittarius - are forceful, ardent and extremely impulsive.
Those people who have this element prominent are active, often
dominant and not willing to let circumstances control them. They
have a strong will and tend to push their way through life,
demonstrating an intense quality.
Fire has an emotional aspect, the more active emotions such as
anger, joy and enthusiasm. Fire influence people easily demonstrate
love and affection, but dislike sadness and grief. These are not
passive people. They have difficulty staying still long enough to
listen to what you have to say or even to be self-reflective. As a
result, they can be insensitive and over power others, while never
intending to hurt anyone.
Fire sign people are leaders, with a "can-do" attitude that can act
as inspiration to others. Just don't get in their way when they are
on a mission because they are built to move forward with zest. |
