Venus has been a very active solar systemic player during the first 48 hours of October, and this trend remains in effect this morning. Venus enters Virgo (12:00AM PDT) until October 28. Over the next three hours, Venus makes a contra-parallel to Neptune (12:49AM PDT) while also forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pallas (2:54AM PDT). Venus entering the sixth sign of the zodiac is a boost for becoming an efficiency master and adding nutritional foods to your diet. The Venus-Neptune and Venus-Pallas configurations have a tendency to toss a monkey-wrench into normally logical and straight-forward business planning. Part of the challenge here is that Venus and Neptune move on to form their annual polarity in the zodiac (3:27PM PDT). Love and money matters enter a twilight zone for much of today due to the various Venus disturbances that are taking hold right now. Despite all the uncertainty, you may want to find a brief window of time to solidify and ground big projects since Jupiter — the largest planet in the solar system — begins a retrograde cycle in Gemini tomorrow.

New Moon Report for Oct. 2 – Venus in Virgo
Venus in Virgo
Tuesday, October 2, 11:59 pm PDT, Wednesday, October 3, 2:59 am EDT
Love takes a practical turn with amorous Venus’ entry into earthy Virgo. Relationships could suffer from nitpicking and self-worth may be diminished by excessive criticism. However, this transit also represents opportunities to make the minor adjustments needed to put partnerships on a more productive track and to develop talents that increase one’s economic value.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 22
The Sun’s entry into a new sign (7:50AM PDT) — Libra — carries an extra dose of concern in 2012. The reason is that a little less than 5 hours from this point a quarter-moon cycle will come into the picture — equating with a rapid rise in tensions across the board. Here’s how this situation comes into being. First, the Sun shifts gears from earthy Virgo to airy Libra at 7:50AM PDT. Nothing really seems amiss and there is now a 30-day focus on improving the quality of primary partnerships as well as picking up the pace in the fine or graphic arts. However, a seemingly innocent Moon-Saturn 60-degree rapport (9:46AM PDT) begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 12:22PM PDT (when the Moon enters hardnosed and industrious Capricorn). It is then at 12:42PM PDT that a potentially strong problem manifests when the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase clocks in — energizing 1 degree of Libra and Capricorn. Therefore, we now have not only a solar-lunar 90-degree square pattern that can signify stormy emotions affecting millions of people, but the places in the zodiac where they are doing the square (at 1 degree of Libra and Capricorn) carry archetypal significance, referring to the state of the society as a whole and the corporate-business-professional climate as a whole. Hopefully, due to the relatively quick motion of the Moon, multiple crises will be averted as cool heads prevail over temperamental individuals who are on ego trips. Relax in a hot tub or enjoy a whirlpool treatment later on as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree link to the healing celestial body Chiron (11:04PM PDT).
