Astrodienst Newsletter October 2024

This is the monthly newsletter from Astrodienst with a short overview of the current quality of time and news from our website www.astro.com.

The October newsletter discusses the New Moon with a Solar Eclipse at the beginning of the month, when we can create valuable things but may also have to expect disruptions. It also addresses the charged time with the potential for chaos during the Aries Full Moon in the middle of the month and the increasing urgency and nervousness in the last few days of October.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME

The New Moon with a Solar Eclipse on October 2 shapes the first days of the month. The Sun and Moon in Libra are in close conjunction with Mercury and Lilith at the Moon's South Node and in a wide square with Mars in Cancer. Mars forms a trine with Saturn in Pisces. At the same time, Venus in Scorpio is in trine with Saturn (exactly on October 4), completing a wide grand trine with Mars and Saturn.

The quality of time speaks of new beginnings and unexpected disruptions. With a bit of tact and willingness to compromise, valuable things can be created during this time, whether through creative work or relationships. For the endeavor to succeed, we need courage, initiative, and trust. If you face disagreements, consider how much energy you want to spend on resolving the conflict. During this time, it might be more beneficial not to be held back by negativity but to work for the good energetically. Honest efforts to resolve conflicts will now receive a boost.

On October 6, the square between Mercury and Mars will be exact. Venus reaches the exact trine to Mars on October 8. At the same time, Mercury trines Jupiter and opposes Chiron. Don't just talk about your plans; take action now. Intellect and emotion go hand in hand, and what you have been planning for a long time could now actually succeed. It's a good time for all relationship matters. If someone picks a quarrel with you these days, don't let them provoke you, but don't be tempted to make a lazy compromise either.

On October 9, Jupiter begins its period of retrograde motion, which will last until the beginning of February 2025. We can deepen our experiences from the last few months and reactivate some missed opportunities during this time.

Pluto also changes direction: on October 12, it will become direct on the final degree of Capricorn. The big topic of epochal changes remains at the top of the list. Planets changing signs will always come into contact with Pluto. For example, Mercury first squares Pluto on October 13 and then moves into Scorpio a few hours later. The desire to criticize could be very pronounced. Take time before you judge, and keep your thoughts (and words) in check.

On October 14, the Sun opposes Chiron, trines Jupiter, and squares Mars. On the 15th, Venus opposes Uranus and trines Neptune. The Aries Full Moon of October 17 occurs during this charged time. The desire for intensity is now clearly apparent, and some seek fulfillment. Keep a cool head because things could get chaotic and develop faster than expected. On the day of the Full Moon, Venus enters Sagittarius, reminding us that there is more to life than instant gratification.

On October 22, Mercury trines Saturn. The Sun is in the last degree of Libra and squares Pluto in Capricorn. On the 23rd, it enters Scorpio. The quality of time indicates that power and powerlessness are two sides of the same coin. Now is the time to make decisions, even if you can hardly predict their consequences. Trust your gut feeling.

On October 28, Venus in Sagittarius forms a square with Saturn in Pisces. This calls for ethical behavior and a commitment to the greater good. Mars trines Neptune in Pisces and approaches the opposition to Pluto (exact on November 3). Mercury reaches its exact opposition to Uranus in Taurus on October 30. Events now take on an unmistakable urgency, and nervousness increasingly makes itself felt. If the supporting structures are too weak, cracks could now become visible. During this time, try to relieve the pressure on yourself and those around you as much as possible and go with the flow.

THE PERSONAL QUALITY OF TIME

Astrology knows that every time has its quality. However, there is no such thing as a perfect time. There are always beneficial forces and others that are obstructive. The quality of time this month makes this particularly clear. Although we can also expect disruptions and resistance, it offers some good opportunities. We are called upon to do our best to make a project succeed, to stand up for what is close to our hearts, and to work unconditionally for the greater good.

The interpretation of the quality of time reflects the daily movement of the planets. It offers an overview of the current themes. However, a prediction of what is happening in your personal life can only be made by relating the planetary situation to your birth horoscope. You can find such interpretations of your individual quality of time in the Yearly Horoscope Analysis by Liz Greene or the Transits of the Year by Robert Hand. There are also free forecasts on the Astrodienst website in the "Today and Tomorrow" section.
