“Asking the proper question is the central act of transformation. Questions are the key that cause the secret doors of the psyche to swing open.”Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

“It’s important to recognize  that forgiveness is more than mere words; it’s a heart attitude that induces a spiritual transformation.” Victoria Osteen

This week’s Solar Eclipse is Tuesday October 25 at 6:49  AM EDT.  The influences are very good at this time – the Sun, Moon and Venus are conjunct at 2 degrees of Scorpio.

A solar eclipse is basically a more powerful New Moon and offers a good time to plant the seeds of your intentions for the future. The influence of a New Moon is four weeks, but the influence of a New Moon eclipse is six months or more.

With Venus conjunct the Sun and Moon, it ushers in a more sociable time – a time that bodes well for friendship, socializing  and romance. It also bodes well for beautifying  your surroundings and bringing more pleasure and a sense of ease into your environment.

The sign of Scorpio is known for its transformational power. So there’s power to be had in terms of what you would like to transform in your life.

The only caveat for this time involves the challenging aspect with Jupiter which is a caution to avoid overindulgence as well as a tendency towards arrogance.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Neighbors help in a house-raising party in a small village.”

This  week starts off with the Sun in a very favorable alignment with Mars – making this  a good time to take action. The Sun and Mars are both aligning favorably with Saturn- indicating a good time for pragmatics. Plan a good approach and go with practical steps and conclusions.

Venus and the Sun are moving up to a square to Pluto – the Lord of Transformation. This can indicate a time when concerns about scarcity may arise – particularly around issues of love, self esteem and finances. Squares in astrology present the opportunity for transformation of the issues involved so this is a good time for overcoming  challenges with a new or evolved approach.

Venus in Libra is forming a quincunx with Neptune, the planets of dreams, visions and illusions. This is a good aspect for inspiration, guidance from spiritual realms and for creative work.

Venus will trine Mars exactly this week indicating a good time to be in touch with what is really valuable to us in our own lives and in relationships.

We are entering a very busy time frame – with the upcoming eclipses on the 25th (at 2 degrees of Scorpio)  and November 8 (at 16 Taurus) and Mars turning retrograde on the 30th. All of these influences can be felt now indicating it bodes well to slow down, stay grounded and be patient.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “The sight of an autumn leaf brings to a pilgrim the sudden revelation of the mystery of life and death.”
