The astrology of October continues to challenge us, and the tarot pull today gave us the Page of Wands for the *third time in a row!* Along with the Hermit, asking us to go within & reclaim that…
The tension here is between our karmic giant of limitations and contraction.
and our most personal inner world, our emotional body, our mental and subconscious patterning.
So this can sound like a very loud inner critic today.
It's the way that I'd really interpret that.
It is a point in the sky.
And so it doesn't change very much in a year, even as the moon changes every, you know...
Every month and every two hours, it's at a different degree.
And so this opposition between the moon and Black Moon Lilith says that, like, we feel this... contradiction this tension this feeling of of limitation like our deepest desires are the farthest away from us they seem to possibly be and our inner critic is really loud about that and like what it is that we can or can't do feels really hard right now And that's exacerbated by Mercury squaring up with Mars, where Mercury retrograde is really kind of internalized and in its own head about all of the ways that it can self-express.
And the depth of that in Scorpio and seeing that square up to Mars, which is where we exert our influence and we do the things that we feel called to do.
And especially since that Mars influence is coming into conjunction with Jupiter, where it becomes much larger, and yet it's getting this challenging influence from this inner dialogue, this retrograde Mercury, that maybe is telling us what we can or cannot do.
And this is all, of course... amplifying the opposition that we are experiencing between Venus and Chiron.
And so it's less strong every day, that opposition, and it will fade over time.
But it is still kind of there, that feeling like maybe we're not good enough or whatever that core wound is for you and where it lines up with your value system and your beliefs about yourself and your relationship to both you and others and all of the things that you most want to accomplish in the world.
Yeah.
that this can feel like a hard day to be really down on yourself.
