Your Week Ahead Astrology 10/20 - 10/24

Week Ahead Astrology @anamariapinedacom

Monday

Monday is ruled by the Moon. The Moon is in Libra today preparing us for the New Moon tomorrow. The Moon represents our emotional state as well as our body and fortune. Notice any placements you have in the Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) and Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) as these areas are activated by the New Moon Phase.

We are currently in the Balsamic Moon Phase. The Balsamic period is a moment in time to pause, surrender and release what no longer serves us. It occurs when the Moon is losing Light and becoming dark. Notice the dying of the Light in your own life. Notice what is leaving your life.

Mercury (the mind)is conjunct Mars (action and desire) in Scorpio today helping us start a new phase of mental focus. The mind is sharp and intense in the sign of Scorpio. We are able to look at things deeply and profoundly so as to understand them. What are you noticing about your mind? Your mindset? And your self-talk? What needs to change? Notice mental, emotional and spiritual patterns that no longer serve you and release them.

Mars represents the ways we focus our energy and desire. What do you desire? How are you focusing your energy? Where are you losing or gaining energy? Mars in Scorpio is teaching us to focus our energy on the direction of what we want, in the direction of our goals and dreams. Do you know what you want? It is time to define that. It is time to hone in on your true heart’s desires.

Mercury and Mars begin a new energetic cycle today. We have an opportunity to place and grow a new seed somewhere in our lives. There may be a new idea or vision you have of your life that requires your focused intent and attention. Both planets together create a sort of laser like beam energy so somewhere in our lives there is an invitation to be driven, determined and focused.  There is a deep, burning desire within you that is asking for your attention. We are asked to narrow in our intentions and be focus on what actions we need to take at this time. Notice what placements you have in the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) as these will be feeling the impact of this new cycle.

Tuesday

Tuesday is ruled by Mars. Mars is in Scorpio helping us turn passion into action. Mars is still conjunct Mercury today and we are asked to focus our mind and actions on what we want and where we are going. Our intuition is on point. Pay attention to gut feelings, inner knowing and trust the signs the Universe is giving you to move forward in your life. Trust yourself. Deep inside of you, you know the way.

There is a New Moon in Libra at 8:25am.  A New Moon is a time of initiation, new beginnings and the start of new cycles in our lives. A new chapter begins in the Libra area of your Astrological Chart. Set an intention. Create a new vision. Set a practical, clear plan to achieve a goal or attain a desire. Define what the next chapter of your life will be about. Stop waiting for life to define you. Notice your placements in the Aries/Libra axis as this is the area where the new seed is being planted.

Libra teaches us to find balance and harmony. Libra teaches us to cultivate peace and diplomacy in our lives. Libra teaches us about relationships and showcases the ways we relate to others. Spiritual lessons are available right now around relationships. Notice the state of your relationships. What new seeds are you planting to plant in this area of your life?

Our intuitive sense and emotions get heightened as the Moon shifts into Scorpio midday. Be mindful of your feelings and other people’s emotions. Don’t take anything personally today and stay connected to your inner wisdom. Ride the waves. Let your innate emotional intelligence guide you today.
Moon square Pluto in the afternoon. Whatever has been festering under the surface may come up today. There may be drama, ego or powerplays around you. Stay in your lane.

 Neptune enters Pisces in the morning. Neptune first entered Pisces on April 4, 2011, and will stay in the sign until January 2026. Neptune teaches us about dreams, illusions, escapism and surrender to the Universe. Notice the spiritual lessons you have been learning in your life and Astrological chart since 2011. Notice the area of your Astrological Chart where the Virgo/Pisces axis is found. Neptune is closing the chapter of all the spiritual lessons, trials and tribulations we have had since 2011.

The Grand Trine in Water this week is helping us release, surrender and let go. We are asked to go with the current of water. We are asked to go with the flow. We are asked to trust the Universe and our inner guidance system. We are asked to make the changes we know how to make. We are asked to step into the unknown with confidence and faith in ourselves and the Universe. Trust that there is a plan. Trust that the Universe has your best interest at heart. Trust life’s unfolding.

Sun enters Scorpio in the late evening. Pay attention to your dreams this week as insights and revelations may show up. While the Sun is in Scorpio, we have an opportunity to look deep within. We can connect more deeply to our Soul to find truth, direction and clarity. Issues around trust, intimacy, sex and relationship dynamics may come up during this period. Finding creative ways to express our deep emotions is key. There is an opportunity for self-mastery of our emotions and desires in the sign of Scorpio. We can learn to become the masters of our own thoughts, desires and emotions. This is a great time to explore spiritual practices that support the journey of self-discovery and mastery such as meditation. One of the spiritual symbols of Scorpio is the white dove. It represents the peace that enters our lives after overcoming challenges and letting go of burdens. What is the state of peace in your life? How can you cultivate more peace?

The Grand Water Trine is beneficial for all Earth (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) and Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) and provides opportunities for growth for all Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) and Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius). Know and explore your Natal Chart placements.  

We are being taught about the Water Element right now. How can we be more like water? Flowing. Trusting. Easy going. Water is life giving. Water is nurturing and caring but it is also a force to be reckoned with. Water changes things slowly, think of a rock underneath the surface of the ocean, as the ocean waves hit it, it slowly softens its edges. Somewhere in our lives we are asked to soften our edges. Somewhere in our lives we are asked to swim wisely with the current. Notice where the stream is taking you. Follow your intuition. Trust the flow of life.

The Water element in Astrology teaches us about mastery over our emotions and intuition. We are asked to pay attention to the wisdom of our emotions. Emotions provide us with valuable information about what is working and what is not working in our lives. How do you feel? Really feel? Check in. Listen to your heart. Listen to your body and its wisdom. Does it feel right? Does it feel good? Does it feel safe and supportive? Notice the information that is being given by your Soul through your body, emotions and intuition this week. Divine guidance is available right now.

Water teaches us about the power of attitude. How is your attitude affecting your life? Do you see the glass half full or half empty? Focus on gratitude. Focus on the beauty of life. There is power in a positive outlook. It empowers you to change your life in the direction that you want. The Universe will support your positive attitude. The choice is yours.

Who is speaking and choosing direction in your life? Is it your ego/personality or your Soul? Explore the difference. Get to know yourself. Your Soul will always guide you in the right direction.  Listen.

The Moon enters Sagittarius at 12:19am and it’s a great day to focus on your vision of the future. What is your vision for your life? What are you working towards? It is time to be optimistic and prioritize your goals and dreams.
The Sun in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius at 9:25am, and we are aware of what is not working in our lives and what we need to do about it. There may be power struggles or opposition this week.
