October 2023 Retrograde Planets
Source: www.astrologyanswers.com
Pluto Retrograde: May 1 – October 10, 2023
Starts at: 0 degrees Aquarius
Enters Capricorn: June 11, 2023
Ends at: 27 degrees Capricorn
Signs most impacted: Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius
This is the first retrograde with Pluto in Aquarius, and we’re focusing on major transformations that impact our future. We’re not just hoping and dreaming. We’re acting thanks to Pluto.
Major changes may have already begun by then, and Pluto retrograde can allow us to adjust to some of this. Some developments may have come out of nowhere, and we have to be flexible.
With the retrograde bringing back Pluto in Capricorn, this can bring some energy back to transforming our institutions, governments, and structures all around us. This has been a big focus for over a decade, and Pluto at the end of Capricorn gives us one last shot and helps us to wrap things up and get it done.
Saturn Retrograde: June 17 – November 4, 2023
Starts at: 7 degrees Pisces
Ends at: 0 degrees Pisces
Signs most impacted: Capricorn, Pisces
The Saturn retrograde for 2023 comes entirely in Pisces, a new sign for Saturn.
Saturn retrograde can be quite karmic, and Pisces is a karmic sign, so this can be a highly karmic period where we’re not only in tune with the subtle energies around us but also more aware of the path we should be on.
This Saturn retrograde can be excellent for releasing karmic baggage, energetic sludge, and emotional issues. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and is associated with endings, so take time to reflect and be introspective, connect to your subconscious, and see what you can let go of.
Neptune Retrograde: June 30 – December 6, 2023
Starts at: 27 degrees Pisces
Ends at: 24 degrees Pisces
Signs most impacted: Pisces
Neptune retrograde is a time for notorious fog, and that’s been even stronger with Neptune in Pisces, the sign it naturally rules. It can be difficult to see what’s right in front of us, and we may not think things through carefully enough.
Since Saturn is also in Pisces for this Neptune retrograde, karmic energy can be super strong. We can all become much more aware of this, and there can be karmic events, fated developments, and encounters.
Chiron Retrograde: July 23 – December 26, 2023
Starts at: 19 degrees Aries
Ends at: 15 degrees Aries
Signs most impacted: Aries
Chiron is the wounded healer in astrology, showing the wounds we have and how we can heal and grow from them. Chiron retrograde is a helpful time for focusing on blocks to healing and growth, and we can find those blocks and work on removing them.
Chiron retrograde is a quieter time of introspection and reflection, and we can turn inward, trying to understand. Chiron retrograde in Aries can focus on our identity, and we can take initiative to make improvements and take control of our growth.
Note that this retrograde begins the day after Venus retrograde starts, so old love wounds may get extra focus.
Uranus Retrograde: August 28, 2023 – January 27, 2024
Starts at: 23 degrees Taurus
Ends at: 19 degrees Taurus
Signs most impacted: Taurus, Aquarius
Uranus is the planetary ruler of change, so Uranus retrograde actually slows this down, and we have a chance to adjust and let the changes that have already occurred absorb. The problem is we can get restless with the slowing, which can make us lash out or become rebellious.
Taurus means the changes likely impact our values, what we feel is worth something, and stability and security. Be smart with your plans for changes, and take small steps.
Note that Uranus is also retrograde to start 2023! Until January 22, so we have some of this effect going into 2023 as well.
Jupiter Retrograde: September 4 – December 30, 2023
Starts at: 15 degrees Taurus
Ends at: 5 degrees Taurus
Signs most impacted: Taurus, Sagittarius
This entire Jupiter retrograde occurs in Taurus, and Jupiter in Taurus helps us focus on improving stability, security, and confidence. Jupiter retrograde in Taurus can make us more stubborn and stuck, and we have to work on being more flexible since we may not be as open to opportunities to change that.
Jupiter retrograde can be karmic in nature, like Saturn and Neptune, but with less fog and lessons. It can be easier to connect to your subconscious mind and work through baggage.
The November 29th, 2023 Lunar Eclipse is widely conjunct Jupiter, and Jupiter direct will trigger that eclipse, so there can be significant developments related to finances, resources, stability, and values.

The Full Moon for this month will occur later in the month on Saturday, October 28th. The New Moon is earlier in the month on Saturday, October 14th.
The Harvest Moon and Hunter’s Moon
October’s full moon is commonly called the Hunter’s Moon, harkening back to European and Native American traditions where hunters would use the light of the full moon to track down their prey and stock up for the coming winter. Contrary to popular belief, the Hunter’s Moon isn’t actually bigger or brighter than usual. It simply rises earlier, soon after sunset, which would give hunters plenty of bright moonlight to hunt by during the early evenings. To Neo Pagans, however, the Hunter’s Moon is known by a far more morbid name – the Blood Moon.
Humans through the ages have always found autumn’s full moons to be creepy, and not without good reason. There’s a reason why English folks in the Middle Ages called October’s full moon the Blood Moon, and it’s the exact same reason why even Halloween imagery today often features a large, low-hanging moon with an eerie reddish glow. The Hunter’s Moon rises early in the evening, which means that you are more likely to see it near the horizon. When you observe the moon while it’s near the horizon, it gives off the illusion of being bigger while it’s in fact the same size. In addition, observing the moon at the horizon makes it look redder. This is because you’re seeing it through a thicker atmosphere, which scatters more blue light and lets more red light pass through to reach your eyes.
Scientific explanations aside, the Hunter’s Moon or Blood Moon still holds an undeniable aura of mystique and power. As October’s full moon occurs right before Samhain, the Gaelic mid-autumn festival that has evolved into Halloween today, Neo Pagans consider the month of the Blood Moon to be a special time denoting the change of seasons and a prime opportunity to contact dead loved ones, given the thinning of the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world. Precious stones such as amethyst are used to ward off evil, and sacred flowers like chrysanthemum are used when working with spirits, such as in rituals to commune with long-dead ancestors.
Despite the Blood Moon’s spooky associations, it rarely actually happens on Samhain or Halloween night itself. The next time you’ll get to see the full moon on Halloween is 2020, and if you miss that, you’ll have to wait 15 years to see it in 2035. Sometimes, October’s full moon even happens early enough in the month that it becomes the Harvest Moon, which is defined as the full moon that’s closest to the fall equinox. In Chinese culture, the Harvest Moon is celebrated during the Mid-Autumn Festival, where people gather to celebrate by eating mooncakes. There is also a harvest festival in India that celebrates October’s full moon, called Sharad Purnima. Devotees fast all day before offering delicacies to the Moon God under the moonlight.
In contrast to the day-long fast of India’s moonlight festival, the Hunter’s Moon was a very important feast day in Europe as well as for many Native American tribes. Appropriately, the Ponca tribe’s name for the Hunter’s Moon is “the moon when they store food in caches”. Taking advantage of the fact that the fields have been reaped, hunters would capture foxes and other small animals who come out to graze on the fallen grains, as well as hunt down deer in the moonlight. They would butcher their prey and preserve their meat. Blood Moon is an excellent name for this month’s full moon, given that it was a final, bloody harvesting of meat before the winter months.
Sadly, the tradition of feasting during the Hunter’s Moon was lost around the year 1700, but its spirit still lives on in historical reenactments like the Feast of the Hunter’s Moon, or even the feast of candy enjoyed by trick-or-treaters everywhere on Halloween.

Click here to read Georgia Nicols Daily, Weekly and Monthly Horoscopes
All Signs
This is a pleasant week full of positive vibes. It’s also a time to get things done because we will be imaginative and productive. Tuesday in particular, is an excellent day to look for a job. Although this is a productive week for most of us, it will also a wonderful time to kick back and relax as we brace for the season ahead. “Winter is coming.” (Ned Stark would have bought snow tires.) In a nutshell, the theme of this week is to socialize and enjoy the company of those who are closest to you. Grab your toga and step forth into the world with confidence. “What ho? Hail centurion! There’s Smarticus! And Acidofolus! And Testicleese!”
Aries (March 21-April 19)
For the most part, this is a carefree, playful week for you. Get out and enjoy yourself! However, this week also holds an opportunity that arrives only once a year, and that is you will have more objectivity to see your closest relationships, specifically, to see your own style in these relationships. This means it’s a fantastic chance for you to improve how you relate to close friends, spouses and partners. This is also a romantic, passionate week for you. Love will be the stuff of movies. At the beginning of the week, you’re very keen to play, but as the week wears on, you’ll get down to business. After all, this is your year to get richer! Ka-ching!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
While it’s true that this is a pleasant, playful week for most signs, you will be more inclined to have your nose to the proverbial grindstone this week. You don’t have to, but you probably will because you’re motivated to work hard right now. Not only are you motivated, you have the energy to work plus, you’re full of ideas! This is why most of you will roll up your sleeves and get hands-on into various projects. But the thing is, you’ll get a tremendous sense of reward and satisfaction from your efforts. Fear not, there will be plenty of time to play. And of course, with lucky Jupiter in your sign – you have divine protection.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
More than any other sign, you will party hard this week. That’s because for starters, you’re in a playful mood! You’re keen to go out and socialize. You want to enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. You want to meet people for coffee, a drink, lunch or dinner because you need variety and stimulation! Romance will flourish this week, which is another perfect perk for you. Some of you will also enjoy entertaining at home, especially because you have been exploring some redecorating ideas. Timing is everything. When it’s time to work – then work. And when it’s time to play – then enjoy yourself! (The secret of life is to look good at a distance.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Take time to relax this week, especially with your strong focus on home and family. Many of you will be involved more than usual with a parent. You might also be dealing with increased chaos and activity on the home front, possibly due to repairs and DIY projects. (You are amazingly resourceful and practical when it comes to doing things at home. You can make a delicious dinner from what you grew in your garden and serve it on the table you built.) Fortunately, all the insane activity that has been taking place at home will soon subside, and you can catch your breath. Later this week, you’ll appreciate your surroundings and realize how much love there is in your world.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This week suits you perfectly! You’re keen to get out and take short trips so that you’re on the go, talking to people, meeting some for lunch, shopping, studying and of course, working. You will have a busy schedule that might involve teaching, learning, sales and writing more than usual. You’re also feeling good about yourself lately, in part because you’ve been tweaking your wardrobe with some treasures and this always boosts your morale. You enjoy a sporty style and you like to look good. Crisp and confident! Especially because you are one sign that is easily noticed by others! (It’s the big sunglasses and dramatic gestures — plus, you’re signing autographs.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your strong focus on cash flow, earnings, (money in, money out) continues. For those who are looking for a new job, Tuesday is the day to act. It’s also an excellent day for financial negotiations and discovering ways to boost your income. This is an eventful year for you because Saturn is opposite your sign, which means this is the culmination of a process that began about 14 years ago. That was when you began to redefine yourself. Of course, this opposition with Saturn is tough on committed partnerships. (Those that have outlived their usefulness will end.) Fear not! Most will endure but undergo readjustments. (“Does that feel better?” “Yes, thanks. The pressure is off the back of my thighs.”) It’s important to define the expectations others have of you and live up to them.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You’re still empowered with the Sun, Mercury and fiery Mars all in your sign, boosting your energy, drive and ambition! You won’t hesitate to speak up. You also won’t hesitate to go after what you want. This is a successful week for you because you will enjoy schmoozing with others, especially creative, artistic types. You’ll also enjoy being involved in groups and organizations related to the arts, the entertainment world and sports. Despite your love of pleasure and socializing this week, you will still work because this entire year is a time when you are busting your buns – and you know it. So, it’s important to strike a balance between work and play because you’re such a social sign.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a curious time for you because a gaggle of planets are hiding in your chart, which in turn, encourages you to keep a low profile. Basically, this is because at one level, you’re “waiting” for your birthday to arrive, which will change your energy level and your interactions with others in a big way. Until then, use this time wisely. Pamper yourself. Take time for yourself. Enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings, with good food and drink of course, and think about what you want for your future. When your birthday arrives, this will be the beginning of a new year for you (birthday to birthday). Start thinking now what you want to achieve in terms of goals for the next year – and maybe even beyond?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This continues to be a popular time for you, especially with younger people. Many of you are also involved in physical activities, perhaps a competition with groups or individually. This makes sense because you are one of the most out-doorsy signs in the zodiac. What you like to have overhead is sky! You also love animals, so many of you are out walking daily in all kinds of weather. Travel opportunities still exist for you while fair Venus is going through your Ninth House. Therefore, if you can get outta Dodge – by all means, do so. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open for ways to improve your health and get a better job because that is your mission this year.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You are still enjoying great press because the Sun is at the top of your chart shining down on you thereby casting you in a flattering spotlight! This is why with no special effort on your part, you are impressing others, especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. Naturally, this pleases you because you like status and the respect of others. (It makes life easier.) Ironically, even though you look fabulous now, Mars at the top of your chart will encourage conflict with authority figures. Are these people jealous? For some reason they feel threatened. Use your skilful means to smooth ruffled feathers. You’re superb at demonstrating grace under pressure.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is the perfect time for you to travel and explore the world. If you can’t travel far, then be a tourist in your own city because you definitely have a strong desire now to broaden your horizons in every way possible. Study and explore new and exciting experiences. Travel will delight along with meeting people from different backgrounds. Admittedly, the placement of fiery Mars right now might spark legal difficulties and disputes. Furthermore, you might find yourself in situations where you feel the need to defend your beliefs. Nevertheless, do something to expand and explore your world near or far because this will be gratifying for you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might have been spending big in the summer because now you are truly focused on earnings, shared property, inheritances and how you can get the help of others to boost you financially. (Of course, the greatest labour-saving device is a rich partner.) However, beyond thoughts about shared finances, you are enjoying a romantic, passionate week. Some tension and ego battles about jointly-held property might be settled in the bedroom in a wild, passionate way. Certainly, relations with others are about to get more tender, romantic and affectionate. As your fellow Pisces Jackie Gleason would say, “How sweet it is!

Last supermoon of 2023 rises this week. Don’t miss the Harvest Moon shine with 3 bright planets
Source: www.space.com
Rising on Friday, Sept. 29, the Harvest Moon will be joined in the sky by our solar system’s two largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, and its smallest, Mercury.
September’s full moon, known as the Harvest Moon, will rise on Friday, Sept. 29 — and it is a special one. Not only will it be the fourth successive supermoon of 2023, but it is also the final supermoon of the year, thus marking the end of a very supermoon summer.
Fittingly for such a special supermoon, the Harvest Moon will also be joined by a parade of planets in the sky, including the solar system’s largest worlds, Jupiter and Saturn, as well as its smallest, Mercury.
From New York City, the fully illuminated moon will rise at around 18:33 EDT (2233 GMT) and set the following day at around 06:52 EDT (1052 GMT), according to In the Sky. Following the full moon, which will be located in the Pisces constellation, the lunar face will recede, a process astronomers call “waning.” After that, Earth‘s natural satellite will head toward its next intriguing phase, turning into a completely dark new moon on Oct. 14, which will mark the start of a new 29.5-day lunar cycle.
The run of four consecutive supermoons began with the Full Buck Moon on July 3. This was followed by two supermoons in August, the Full Sturgeon Moon on Tuesday, Aug. 1, and the Full Blue Moon on Aug. 30..

The term “supermoon” refers to full moons that happen around the time when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, an approach called perigee. This happens because the moon’s orbit around Earth is an ellipse rather than a perfect circle, meaning there are times when it falls further away from our planet and times when it comes closer.
The proximity of the moon during supermoons means the lunar disk can appear around 30% brighter and around 14% larger as seen from Earth compared to the appearance of the lunar face during “regular” full moons. These differences may be visible to moon-watchers with a lot of experience observing lunar events, but aren’t really that noticeable with the unaided eye to skywatchers who don’t often scrutinize the moon.
The moon will reach perigee in the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 27, at around 21:06 EDT (0106 GMT), two days before the Harvest Moon, according to NASA. By the time the moon’s fully illuminated face is turned toward Earth, it will be around 224,657 miles (361,552 kilometers) from our planet, according to eclipse expert and retired NASA astrophysicist Fred Espanak. This is opposed to the moon’s average distance from Earth, which falls around 238,000 miles (382,900 km).
However, this won’t be the closest or, therefore, brightest supermoon of 2023. During the Aug. 30 Full Blue Moon, the moon was around 222,043 miles (357,343 km) from Earth, according to Espanak.
The first planet to visit the final supermoon of 2023 on Saturday will be Saturn, the second-largest planet in the solar system, which will rise at around 17:18 EDT (2118 GMT) and will sit in the Aquarius constellation, according to In the Sky. Saturn’s fellow gas giant and the solar system’s largest planet, Jupiter, will rise at 20:17 EDT (0017 GMT). Jupiter will sit to the left of the Harvest Moon in the Aries constellation.
Mercury will be the last planet to pay the Harvest Moon a visit and will be the toughest to spot. The closest planet to the sun, Mercury is currently at its furthest from our host star. Though it appears in the morning sky, it disappears in the evening. On Saturday, the solar system’s smallest planet will rise at around 05:30 (0930 GMT). Mercury will share the sky with the full moon for just over an hour before the final supermoon of the year sets.
Skywatchers who miss the Harvest Moon will have to wait a while for the next supermoon, which will also be a Harvest Moon, rising on Sept. 18, 2024. This will be the first of two supermoons next year, with the second occurring a month later on Oct. 17, 2024.

Worm Moon: Full Moon for March 2023
The full Worm Moon reaches its peak in the morning hours of Tuesday, March 7. Look for it to rise after sunset on both Monday and Tuesday! What is a Worm Moon? Here are the real meaning and origins of March’s full Moon—and when you can see this Moon at its brightest!
When to See the Full Moon in March 2023
The final full moon of the winter season will appear on the nights of Monday, March 6, and Tuesday, March 7. Specifically, March’s full Worm Moon reaches peak illumination at 7:42 A.M. ET on Tuesday, March 7, 2023.
Of course, you don’t have to wait until the middle of the night to see the Moon! Look for the spectacularly bright Moon as it rises above the horizon on Monday evening. If your weather is poor on Monday night, try again on Tuesday! See when the Moon will be visible in your area.
If you have just a bit of rain on either of these nights, you may even get to spot a rare phenomenon called a moonbow. A moonbow is just like a solar rainbow, but is created by moonlight (rather than sunlight) when it is refracted through water droplets in the air. Moonbows only happen when the full Moon is fairly low in the sky, so look for one in the hours after sunset when the sky is dark. Learn more about moonbows here!
This March Moon will look especially large to us when it’s near the horizon because of the “Moon illusion,” when it looks bigger when near comparative objects than it does when it’s high in the sky without any references.
Why Is It Called the Worm Moon?
The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not only to the full Moon.
The Surprising Truth Behind the Worm Moon Name
March’s full Moon goes by the name Worm Moon. For many years, we thought this name referred to the earthworms that appear as the soil warms in spring. This invites robins and other birds to feed—a true sign of spring!
However, more research revealed another explanation. In the 1760s, click here to read the rest of this article

From MoonGiant.com
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. This September Full Moon will be the forth and final supermoon of 2023.
During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

All Signs
What does the movie Barbie have to do with the autoworkers strike? Both are early clues about Pluto’s return to Aquarius next year (to stay until 2043). This year is a sneak preview of coming attractions because Pluto was in Aquarius for three months — stirring up transformative energy about collective rights. (What we see now is the tip of the iceberg for the next 20 years.) The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778-1798, when the citizens of Paris, desperate from poverty and the disparity between the poor and the very rich revolted and Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI were beheaded. Pluto is about destruction and rebirth. For the last 15 years, Pluto was in Capricorn (governments, status and political correctness). Pluto in Aquarius will also bring mind-blowing technological advances. ChatGPT? Ha! Wait for “hologram TV” right in your living-room.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
In the next two decades, as Pluto moves through your 11th House, you will change your long-term goals. The goals you have now will no longer have the same promise. You will start to expect a different future for yourself. As a further extension of this shift (which will be slow), you will start to change the friends and groups you see. The people that you used to hang out with will begin to lose their appeal. This is because as you start to change your long-term goals and what you expect for yourself — likewise, you will seek out different kinds of friendships. You might meet a new friend who is a strong influence.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Pluto moves slowly. It takes 250 years to go through all 12 signs. In the next 20 years, it will slowly cross the top of your chart, which means you will start to work harder to achieve more because you want to make your mark on the world. You want to be the best you can be! If you know where you’re headed, your success will come sooner. Either way, you will change direction until you find something that you want to embrace. Be careful about bending rules and ethics to get your way. (You won’t win.) Instead, be wise and take as much time as you need to find the right direction for you. Someone might help you do this. Naturally, this will change you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You’re a curious person, which is why you love to learn new things. In the next 20 years, you will flourish as Pluto travels through your Ninth House, transforming your beliefs and how you see the world. Take your time. No hurry! Expect to slowly gain new knowledge, new interests, especially in profound subjects, as you meet people from different backgrounds. Religion or politics will take on a new meaning for you. You might be involved with a group or movement that wants to transform society. No need to be a rebel. You will do this slowly by working with others. Mystical and occult philosophies will also attract you. So much to discover!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
In the next 20 years, circumstances around you might prompt your interest about death and dying. You might want to understand more about this process. You might help others go through this experience. You will explore deep and profound ideas because for your sign, Pluto is going through its own “home” during this time. You will also undergo major changes that affect you in a practical way in terms of shared property, money from the government, inheritances and jointly-held resources. You will see the value of your own independence and appreciate being self-sufficient – in other words — being able to call your own shots.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
For the next 20 years, Pluto will be opposite your sign. The only Leos that have lived through this experience lived back in the 1700s. (Oh yes, this is a new movie!) Basically, you will experience major changes and shifts to your partnerships – both personal and professional partners. The changes that happen will profoundly affect you. You might feel the need to redefine a partnership. You might meet someone new who completely transforms your world? Admittedly, shaky or unhappy partnerships will be at risk. To stay happy, try to avoid power struggles (especially with enemies) during this time because they could be nasty and destructive. The ultimate aim of Pluto is always to improve things and get a better result.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Pluto will travel through your 6th House in the next 20 years transforming your job, your health and even your relationship to pets. Because Pluto is the planet of “regeneration”, this is a great opportunity to dramatically improve your health. However, do not over strain yourself. Be kind to yourself. (Pluto tends to break things down before it builds them up again.) But if you adopt new healthy regimes about exercise and food, you can regenerate yourself to an amazing degree! Meanwhile, many of you might change your job to improve things or tear things down in order to rebuild them. Or you might explore regenerative therapies whether they are physical or psychological. A powerful new direction is possible.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For the next several decades, Pluto will travel through a part of your chart associated with the arts, fun, pleasure and sports. All forms of creativity, especially children. This means parents will have a powerful opportunity to improve their relationships with their kids. However, be careful about being pushy. Avoid power struggles. Meanwhile, this part of your chart also embraces romance. Many of you will meet someone who completely transforms your world. The relationship will be intense, passionate and feel like it was written in the stars. “Meant to be.” (Pluto is like that – intense and overdramatic.) Explore any means of self-expression because this will be rewarding for you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
In the coming years, as Pluto travels across the bottom of your chart for the first time in your life, you want change at the most fundamental levels. You want to change things where you live. You want to get rid of what doesn’t work, especially if it’s too old or in disrepair. You want to take charge of your residence and make repairs or do remodelling and fix up things so that you feel happy about where you live. By extension, you might do this to family relationships, especially with your parents. For some, this could create power struggles, especially if parents try to keep things as they were. But for you, a new order is going to begin, and it’s starting at home. Expect to purge what you no longer need, and repair what you choose to keep.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The years ahead will fascinate you because your everyday contacts and everyday communications and conversations will become more profound. Aspects of your everyday life that you took for granted – times with neighbours, relatives, business contacts might become hugely significant! Basically, this is because you yourself are undergoing some internal changes. You’re going to start to see your everyday world with new eyes. You might even examine your everyday beliefs and the ideas you have. Because you are a truth-seeker, you will not settle for superficial explanations. Some of these changes within you will be triggered by travel (even short trips) that somehow have far-reaching effects on your life.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The next few decades will be powerful for you because your own value system will undergo a complete change, perhaps a metamorphosis. You will start to question things that you value regarding status, respect and material success. Something will happen that makes you rethink your values, especially towards property and your material possessions. Some of you will change jobs and develop a new source of income possibly related to medicine, criminology, police work, detection, gems and jewelry, plumbing and psychology, especially hospice work and end-of-life transitions. You might also explore renovations and redoing things to earn money. The scope is wide.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Pluto will be in your sign for the next 20 years, which is something no one alive has ever experienced because the last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 250 years ago. This will bring about changes in your appearance. It will almost certainly make you get in touch with deeper aspects of yourself. Admittedly, you might become a bit of a control freak, so watch out for that. As you undergo these changes, you might want to change everyone around you. You will also be attracted to the mysteries and hidden aspects of life, and possibly you will explore astrology, yoga or other spiritual disciplines that deal with regeneration of the self. It’s all pretty trippy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Pluto has domain over everything hidden – like gemstones, hidden in the earth. Corporal bodies are “hidden” beneath skin, fur or feathers. Plumbing is “hidden” beneath the streets and in the walls of our homes and bathrooms. (Even the word toilet is impolite dinner conversation.) In the next few decades, hidden aspects of your psyche will be revealed to you. You will be on your own personal journey of discovering your truth. This will be empowering because the hidden aspects of ourselves (of which we are unaware) have control over us. But once we identify something and expose it to the bright light of discovery – we’re free!

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a First Quarter phase. This phase occurs roughly 7 days after the New Moon when the moon is one quarter of the way through its orbit around the earth. Exactly half the moon will be illuminated and half dark. On the day of the First Quarter phase the moon is high overhead at sunset and is visible until mid-night when it sets in the west. The First Quarter phase is a one-day event and in the following days enters a Waxing Gibbous phase becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.
Visit the September 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s First Quarter Phase
The First Quarter on September 22 has an illumination of 47%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On September 22 the Moon is 7.07 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Divination Journal
Tarot
From The Tarot Lady
The Hermit
Keywords: inner wisdom, solitude, withdrawal, quiet, teacher or guru, research, seeker
Attributes: Virgo (Earth)
General meaning: In order to get the answers you seek, it may be time to turn inward. Shut out your distractions so that you may discover the wisdom within. Answers are rarely found in another – everything you need is within yourself. This card can also indicate a need to withdraw from circumstances in order to get a better perspective. Sometimes a player needs a break from the grind.
Reversed: Repeating your past mistakes. Not learning. This can indicate a lack of wisdom. Doing things without thinking of the consequences. It can also indicate the extremes of solitude – like being some sort of creepy recluse. Don’t lock yourself away. It gets mighty lonely on that mountain top.
Affirmation: “Everything I need is within me. I don’t need to look outside myself for answers.”
Animal Spirit Guide or Helper

Is
Sound: “i”, “e”, “j” as in the “y” in “year”
Stands for: Ice
Casting meaning: Ice is unchanging and restricting and like ice this rune embodies the resistant power that tries to prevent change.
Witch’s Rune
Rings
Think: Unbreakable bonds are between these rings.
Remember: Positive. You can’t do it alone, so form the right and lasting alliances. There may be a business partnership, a marriage, or other team formation. Seek out a partnership if none exists in the matter at hand.
Ogham

Duir or Dair
Pronunciation – Doo-r
Tree Association – oak
Meaning – Strength, security, resilience, endurance, wisdom, sacred spaces, leadership, and kindness. All your hard work and education have paid off. Like the oak, you stand tall and mighty. You are in a beneficial situation (family, work, financially, creative, relationship, etc.), and this circumstance will stay that way for quite a while. Trust yourself! Also, oak represents the intense energy and power of storms and wind. Symbolic of the endurance and stamina you possess that allows you to flourish and thrive.
If reversed – cowardly, uncertain, or frail. You have not been acting kindly or fairly in your leadership role. It’s ok to lack knowledge and facts, but do not make it a common practice.
Inscription and Magical Uses – Inscribe this ogham on an acorn for good luck in job interviews, courage, or pursuing justice. Duir is an excellent ogham inscription to keep at work. Helpful when working when storms, lightning, or the element air. It can also be used in healing or for those who need reminders of their resilience, profound strength, and tenacity.
Folklore – Oak trees are considered sacred guardians. They are an excellent place to meditate beneath or seek strength and assurance. If you catch an oak leaf before it touches the ground, you will have excellent health throughout the cold winter months. Representative of the Oak King, who marks the beginning and climax of the Summer Solstice.

Hexagram Six/6
Sung / Conflict
The high Heavens over a yawning Deep chasm:
An expansive void where nothing can dwell.
Even though he sincerely knows he is right, the Superior Person anticipates opposition and carefully prepares for any incident.
Good fortune if your conflict results in compromise.
Misfortune if your conflict escalates to confrontation.
Seek advice.
Postpone your crossing to the far shore.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Conflict is a necessary part of life.
Tension upon the strings of a violin can make majestic music.
The critical mass of two hydrogen atoms trying to occupy the same space fuel the sun that nourishes our solar system.
Most conflicts you face in life are the result of your Path converging with another’s.
Your Path is not his, and one Path is not necessarily more right than the other.
Can you work together to remove the blockage?

Six
Positive qualities
The main virtue of the Six is true humanism and truly cordial attitude towards people. You can be a liquidator working for the government, or even a tax inspector, but, at the same time, stick to your ideas that human life is sacred, and the right of freedom of expression is undeniable.
Seriously, you are a really kind and sympathetic person capable of giving away your last possession to those who need it most. Your loved ones know that you are the person they can count on, always and everywhere.
Negative qualities
Weaknesses of the Six are, in most cases, their virtues that got out of control. Defending a friend, you can be cruel and merciless to an enemy. Your willingness to sacrifice your own interests for the sake of others may give rise to the desire for martyrdom, which is pride. The same is true about your confidence in the aptness of everything you are doing.
The latter can cause serious conflicts with the nearest and dearest. Ignoring all reasonable arguments, you can drive others crazy proving to them that you are interfering in their life and destroy their plans with the best of motives.

What is the meaning of angel number “6”?
Pay attention to the numbers that make up the angel number!
Angel numbers are often composed of various numbers. For example, if it is “222”, it can be said that it is composed of the number “2”, and it can be divided into “22” and “2”. It is also possible to add all the numbers of “222” and read from the number of “6” like “2 + 2 + 2 = 6”.
However, since the number “6” is composed of one number, it is not possible to divide it and read the meaning of those numbers, or to read the number calculated by adding them. Therefore, in the case of angel number 6, it is necessary to read from one number “6”.
“6” means “stability in life”
The angel number “6” is a number that stands for stability, harmony, and peace. Therefore, there will be various events in life, but these also mean the power to solve problems by making well-balanced decisions. That’s why the angels tell you that you can always live a stable life.
If you often see the number “6” and …
