“Sometimes life is so surprising there’s nothing to do but live.” Emily Dickinson
“Last night as I lay sleeping.
I dreamt – marvelous error-
that a spring was breaking
out in my heart.
I said along which secret aqueduct,
oh water, are you coming to me,
water of a new life
that I have never drunk?
Last night as I lay sleeping,
I dreampt-marvelous error-
That I had a beehive
Here in my heart
And the golden bees
We’re making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.” Anthonio Machado
The week starts off with Mars in a beneficial trine to Neptune. This is a lovely alignment – with both in water signs. Under this influence creative ideas can flourish and it’s a good time for spiritual growth.
Venus is forming a square to Saturn. This is a down to earth alignment bringing good time to take care of business and for organization in general.
Mercury is moving up to an opposition to the planet of surprises, Uranus. There can be snafus with electronics and travel under this influence, so extra patience will be helpful. It’s wise to take extra caution when driving as there is an erratic side to this alignment and people can take sudden unexpected actions.
This alignment can be hard on the nervous system so it would be beneficial to provide some extra down time throughout the week.
Halloween is on Thursday this week and the veils are thin between the worlds. Mercury will be in a harmonious partnership with Neptune making this a great day for the imagination and for dreams. A good time for expressing emotions.
The New Moon in Scorpio is on Friday November 1 at 9 degrees of Scorpio.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A jewelry shop filled with the most magnificent jewels.”
