Full Moon in sidereal Virgo/Pisces
“Grand Teton Night Sky” photograph by Tristan Greszko
The theme of this entire SolLunar Cycle continues in the upcoming two weeks: focus, to be focused, to learn to be better focused by eliminating distractions. Transform too much idleness or laziness of the brain by catalyzing the power of your mind to place intentions/visualizations called forth from your future self into the quantum field. This creates gateways, possibilities, events ahead of you, so when the future arrives, it is near perfection, if not even better than you had imagined. Cultivate gratitude, that magic elixir, as your daily mantra, giving hourly thanks for the smallest gifts. The exact Sun/Mercury conjunction on October 8 will greatly assist you with this, along with the creative but tense squares of Venus (October 8) and Mars (October 10-11) to Saturn.
Thank you, Tristan, for sharing the gift of your night-sky, time-lapsed photography. Check out Tristan Greszko’s extraordinary photographs of both our mystical heavens and magical Earth.

Full Moon in sidereal Virgo/Pisces
Here is a brief synopsis of the Full Moon characteristics that hold true to every Full Moon from my from my friend and sidereal colleague Nick Anthony Fiorenza at Lunar Planner.
“The Full Moon marks the point of coition in the lunar cycle, the climax, the point of excitement, a time of celebration. The day just after the Full Moon is a time for the realization of the theme to emerge, of what the activities of the first half of the lunar cycle, culminating into the enthusiasm of the Full Moon, are really about. Relax and allow this realization to occur. There is no need to force it as it surfaces on its own.”
Thu October 5
Full Moon in sidereal Virgo/Pisces: Moon in Pisces opposite Sun/Mercury in Virgo: Full Moons amplify the emotions in our world and can set up the potential for polarization between differing ways of seeing a situation. They provide a mirroring back from the world about what we subconsciously desire, helping us learn how our shadow and our light interact. Moon in Pisces is very compassionate and intuitive, while Sun/Mercury in Virgo can be hyper-critical and analytical. This Full Moon can heighten the tensions between what we think versus what we feel. It’s a perfect day to book a therapy session or some healing bodywork to help you explore and understand your unique conundrum.
Venus/Mars conjunction in Leo: Once a year, these two planets link up in an exact conjunction, bringing together our feminine and masculine aspects in symbiotic union. This can feel like a profound integration of Being in which we know exactly how to act (Mars) on behalf of our heart’s truth (Venus). Given the fact they are hooking up in late Leo, it’s important to channel this fiery energy in creative ways, with a project, with some form of movement, recreation, or play so you don’t explode in frustration.
Fri October 6
Moon/Uranus conjunction in Aries opposite Jupiter in Libra: The Moon’s conjunction with shock-wave, spontaneous Uranus and opposition to expansive, optimistic Jupiter, the news coming your way might be exceedingly upbeat or downright surprising. If you are in mood for taking a risk, today’s the day.
Sat October 7
Moon/Pallas Athene conjunction in Aries quincunx Vesta/Mercury/Sun in Virgo: This alignment makes for superb mental focus and increased powers of visualization. Oftentimes, Aries leaps without thought but Virgo wants to be sure it’s safe before jumping. If you want to plan a new adventure or live more adventurously, use this aspect to envision step-by-step what it will take to fulfill that dream. Expand the vision of your business or make an important adjustment to improve a current creative project.
Sun October 8
Sun/Mercury conjunction in Virgo: When these two planets meet up in an exact conjunction, you can feel exceedingly smart, focused, inspired. Establish new routines that support mental health and stability, like daily meditation or walking in stillness. Consider setting limits on consuming too much media before bed to ensure better sleep. As Mercury rules our vehicles and Virgo loves to clean, clean your car/rig today!
Venus in Leo square Saturn in Scorpio: Aspects that unite Venus and Saturn, like this tense square, can lead to serious discussions or decisions about love or money. It’s good to go over your budget, especially in regards to what money you want to allocate for play, beauty, the children in your life (Leo).
Moon squares Lunar Nodes: This aspect can create a temporary emotional wobbliness, wooziness in regards to being unsure about how you feel about a situation. Best to just experience it, observe it without jumping to conclusions. It will pass, and soon.
Mon October 9
Moon in Taurus trine Vesta/Sun/Mercury in Virgo: It promises to be a highly productive Monday with this positive alignment in Earth signs, the element associated with being grounded, results-oriented and having great endurance. Earth signs also rule money and real estate, so good news can arrive in regards to those arenas.
Tue October 10
Mars in Leo square Saturn in Scorpio: This challenging aspect comes to fruition tomorrow, but given the frustrating nature of this alignment, it’s best to know about it today. Mars and Saturn can manifest as a hard-edginess when they square off as both are willful, determined, controlling at times. Parents beware, you, or your children are prone to temper-tantrums. If you like to work out, expect today’s session to be especially fierce. This intense energy can also be used to construct something, commit to something. Find a creative outlet so you don’t burst into flames!
Venus in Virgo opposite Chiron in Pisces: Thankfully, this dynamic provides a dampening effect of the above aspect, calling in healing emotional waters (Pisces) and the ability to think before you act (Virgo).
Wed October 11
Mars/Saturn square: Let me repeat what I wrote above: This challenging aspect comes to fruition early this morning. Mars and Saturn can manifest as a hard-edginess when they square off as both are willful, determined, controlling at times. Parents beware, you, or your children are prone to temper-tantrums. If you like to work out, expect today’s session to be especially fierce. This intense energy can also be used to construct something, commit to something. Find a creative outlet so you don’t burst into flames!
Vesta in Virgo quincunx Neptune in Aquarius: Vesta in Virgo provides a clarity of focus to refine or make something better. The quincunx to Neptune in Aquarius might involve creating better communication systems between colleagues and community members. Help a friend sort through how they can fulfill their aspirations and what sacrifices they might need to make.
Moon in Gemini opposite Juno in Sagittarius: This makes for a busy and conversational day between key partners, or a gregarious date night exploring new ideas, trips, your current reading list.

Last Quarter Moon
“Grand Teton Range Nightscape” photograph by Tristan Greszko
Here is a description of the qualities of the Last Quarter Moon phase compliments of my friend and sidereal colleague, Nick Anthony Fiorenza at Lunar Planner:
“This phase completes with our Inner Needs surfacing to consciousness, to become aware of what is important to self and what is not. A sense of completion comes forth with a recognition that the past scenario has served its purpose and it is time to leave what is antiquated behind. Knowing now what our Truth is, it is time to consciously live it. Doing so provides a choice for others to also live theirs. Changing allows us to spiral to a new octave of experience—one that will eventually sprout in the next lunar cycle to come.”
Thu October 12
Last Quarter Moon: Moon in Gemini square Sun/Mercury in Virgo: Moon in Gemini is naturally busy, prefers to multi-task, is a snoop. Today’s completing square to super-focused Sun/Mercury sets the stage for productive teamwork, accomplishing much, healing conversations with less emotionality or consuming media in extra-large portions.
Fri October 13
Jupiter/Charliko conjunction finale: To keep this simple, here is the synopsis from my friend, Nick Anthony Fiorenza (who writes more in depth about the trans-Plutonian objects on his website), about this important relationship transit that began late March of this year: “It may impel us to establish a spatial resonance that is caring, nourishing and protective, a space that ensures the sanctity of relationships, and to establish or refine our relationships and how we interrelate in ways that honor the sovereignty of both parties. It may impel the dissolution of relationships that are not respectful of individual sovereignty, those that are not serving personal healing and mutual growth and wellbeing. It may impel the formation of new relationships, perhaps through mysterious, unexpected or seemingly magical or meant to be encounters. Either way, it should impel a deep introspective process to get clear upon the nature of the resonance we wish to have in our relationships, as the vibrational resonance we mold is either nourishing or not to our greater wellbeing and longer-term goals.”
Given that this year-long transit also coincides with this year’s Pluto/Juno conjunction that has also sparked a brutal truthfulness about the nature of our key partnerships, it seems 2017 has pressured us to discover what we desire our relationships to be. And keep in mind, relationships can be to yourself, to people and pets, to places and work situations. So much transformation has occurred, and now great rebirth and renewal is coming.
Moon/Ceres in Cancer: When these two planets make a monthly conjunction, you can feel more secretive or want to share a secret. You might feel a desire to head home early, or want to create a nurturing meal for family and friends. This pairing epitomizes the super-Mom who willingly makes time to care for the needs of all the family members with dedication, compassion, understanding.
Sat October 14
Moon/North Lunar Node conjunction in Cancer: This aspect is about moving into new homes or recreating relationships or spaces within our home environs. It’s a great day to rearrange the furniture or fengshui your space to ensure success in your goals. This aspect can mark a completion of what you set in motion during the recent Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017 in regards to your living situation.
Mars enters sidereal Virgo: Mars governs our physical vitality, our activism, our passions, and is about speaking and acting upon our deepest truth and convictions. As Mars enters service-oriented, health-conscious, organized Virgo for the coming weeks, expect to find it easier to follow-through and follow-up on desires you set in motion the last few weeks. First serve your higher Self, your personal integrity, and see where this devotion to your best Self will guide you in sharing your gifts with the larger world.
Sun October 15
Mercury in Libra opposite Uranus in Aries: This can lead to eruptions or interruptions in communicating and communication systems. It’s good for problem-solving, peace-making and bridge-building, providing you are willing to experiment outside the confines of how you think things should be.
Moon in Leo: Our emotive Moon in playful, joyful Leo, asks your inner child to lead the way, breaking free of ruts or routines, rediscovering the magic of spontaneity.
Mon October 16
Sun in Virgo sextile Saturn in Scorpio: It’s easy to get organized and have your act together with this aspect. If you ask someone to do something (like guiding your child to help with household chores), they are more prone to do the task without resisting.
Moon in Leo opposite Neptune in Aquarius: This brings out your creative, playful side (Leo’s domain), so take a friend to lunch, seek out like-hearted companions (Aquarius’s desire) and engage in uplifting conversation.
Tue October 17
Moon/Mars/Venus conjunction in Virgo: This fusion of Moon (needs) with Venus (desires) with Mars (taking action) in organized, never-tiring Virgo provides steady, clear, focused energy all day long. It’s perfect for deep-cleaning your home and work spaces, too.
Wed October 18
Mercury/Jupiter conjunction in Libra: Exuberant and conversational, diplomatic and caring, this pairing of Mercury (thoughts, ideas) with optimistic Jupiter in harmony-seeking Libra makes for a day of exceptionally supportive communications. It provides a needed super-dose of optimism to our world.
Moon/Vesta in Virgo: On this last day of the dying SolLunar cycle, work-oriented Virgo Moon aligns with the extreme focus of Vesta and assists you in completing tasks and getting organized as you prepare for the next SolLunar cycle that will take place in relational, beautifying Libra. Or go the other way and focus on relaxing. Seek out some form of healing bodywork to help you release the past stresses of this very intense cycle. That’s always a good choice on the day before the next New Moon, which bursts forth tomorrow around noon.
