The Tea Spilling Rebellion

This week we could feel a bit triggered and quite sensitive. While there are some strong Libran influences for diplomacy and charm, there are plenty of ways for us to feel somewhat wounded this week.  The full moon is likely to make us all feel bajiggity, nervous, and vulnerable. Some of you may feel it in your physical body more than usual. 

It's a mixed bag of planetary influence this week. Mercury retrograde makes some both hard and soft aspects. We will be very alert and quick thinking, but communicating effectively to others will be a challenge.

Relationships are still a strong focus for us. We may be employing charm at every opportunity, but we may be doing it out of a need to feel more accepted.

Chiron is a little busier than normal this week too, hence the triggeryness. Generally there is just an air of insecurity.

But we’re not close to done yet. The big player this week is the Full Moon in Taurus on Halloween. This is our 2nd Full Moon in October, making this a blue moon. When this happens the call to release things is emphasized. So anything that you’re clinging to or that is clinging to you is likely to be challenged over the next couple weeks.

This moon is almost exactly conjunct Uranus, which makes this potentially disruptive. Full moons tend to illuminate information that was previously hidden or unknown, and with Uranus, there’s little chance of predicting it. Of course we instantly think of negative things, but sometimes the unexpected is a blessing (at least for someone). There is also the potential for revolutionary breakthroughs.

You know I love analogies...This lunation is like a little kid who ate way too much candy, refuses to go to bed, and throws a rebellious tantrum. Perhaps he feels like modeling his mom’s lingerie to the dinner guests. If you happen to watch KellyAnne Conway’s daughter, Claudia, on TikTok...you know what I’m talking about. Rebellion & the spilling of tea (that may benefit us, but certainly not her mom). Mars retrograde in Aries is only adding fuel to this fire. The information that is revealed may or may not be about us, but these revelations are always FOR us, even if they seem harsh. Release the things that you are too attached to and that may not allow you to see the big picture properly.

Here’s this week’s scopes.


ARIES - Whatever it is you’re worrying about, try to stop. When we try to anticipate everything that could happen, we often end up blindsided anyway. Trust that things will work out FOR you. And don’t cut off your nose to spite your face in an attempt to “protect yourself”. Wait this out...it will work out for you!


TAURUS - This moon could have you in your feelins’. But if you operate thinking that the people closest to you know how you feel, you could create issues for yourself. If you’re experiencing some regret about something you said or didn’t say to someone you still care about, this is a good time to try to spell it out. Get very clear about what you want to say first.


GEMINI - If busy-ness is keeping you from focusing on some uncomfortable feelings, this full moon may not allow you any more excuses. Sooner or later you will have to face what you’re avoiding, emotionally. You might consider doing it on your own terms so the Universe doesn’t do it for you.


CANCER - I feel this moon could make your body feel a little worn out. If you’re feeling tired and just UGH in your fleshsuit these days, it will be OK. You really have already done most of what “has” to be done. So it is really OK to take a breather and give your body some rest. Really.


LEO - If I say the word “guilt” what immediately comes to mind? Take whatever that issue is and love yourself through it. The judgement you inflict on yourself (even though the guilt may have initially come from someone else) is way too harsh. It is time to forgive yourself or someone else and move ahead with love.


VIRGO - When you receive an unexpected gift, compliment, raise, etc in the next few weeks, don’t question it, or be suspicious, or try to deflect the affection coming to you. Take it, graciously, and realize that you’ve earned this!


LIBRA - Your charm is shining brightly this week, despite the general feeling of MEH in the world around you. Your charisma may not exactly get you what you are trying to get this week, but hey, the rest of us are enjoying you. So you do you. Don’t let anyone else’s darkness rain on your parade this week.


SCORPIO - Don’t be afraid of judgement that may come down the pike toward you this week. It isn’t as much about you as it may seem at first. It is more about the big picture and possibly other members on your team. If you start to feel sorry for yourself, remember you’re a badass bitch and keep on truckin. Whatever this is, it is a fleeting problem, despite appearances to the contrary.


SAGITTARIUS - If you find yourself feeling sorry for yourself this week, try doing the opposite of what you would normally do. Normally you would plunge headlong into deep philosophical explanations about the esoteric aspects of life. Instead, be fully in your body, loving and accepting even the parts of it that may fail you. Sometimes that is all that is needed.


CAPRICORN - If you didn’t have a person or thing to blame your dissatisfaction on, what then would you look to for change? Yes. ding ding ding! Yourself. You are in charge. You control so much more about your life than you’re realizing right now. You are not a victim, so quit acting like one.


AQUARIUS - The ghosts of narcissists past may visit you this week. Someone you care about who just can not seem to get over themselves may reappear in your life after an absence….a lovely, peaceful, non energy sucking absence. Be very aware of sharing any of your personal feelings with this person. They will retreat back into the woodwork.


PISCES - If you’re feeling physically wounded and somewhat weak this week, consider things that are not physical as culprits. (This is the exact opposite of what I received for Sagittarius... interesting!) Emotional and unseen energies can definitely affect your physical stamina. It is time for a good release and detox under this moon. And consider a couple days by yourself afterward to regenerate.

Boldly go where you have not gone before...

(Re: the title - I don't know how Star Trek has women itself into my mind so much. )

This week offers a much needed change of pace from recent weeks. The Libra new moon last week did its work and has realigned us and rebalanced us, even if we don't immediately recognize how.

There is a lot of relationship-oriented energy in the air this week, particularly as it relates to established relationships. But there are also some strong indicators for love, passion, and even commitment in newer relationships.

But be careful what you wish for. The true meaning of the word passion is suffering. It is a fire, and it will burn you. People often confuse passion for romance. So this week, when the flames of passion are licking at your feet, er….etc...be aware and be cautious. This energy is ripe for you to break old, unhealthy cycles in relationships of all kinds. Create something new that works for you, rather than the template that you’ve been given.

The season of Scorpio officially begins this week. The veil thins and we are more connected to things unseen, unknown, unaccepted, and underneath. Take your inner freak out for a walk and really ask yourself what makes you feel good in life.

Love has many faces and purposes in life. Allow yourself to fearlessly explore these faces and try some new ones on. As it relates to your life and your deep knowing, how would you define love differently than how you were taught to define it? 

10/19     Mars Rx square Jupiter - initiative and energy

10/19     Venus quincunx Mars Rx- sexual tension (can cause problems in weaker relationships), possible manipulation

10/19     Venus trine Jupiter - optimism and love

10/19     Mercury Rx opposite Uranus Rx- time and thinking are fast

10/21     Venus trine Pluto - intensity and passion in relationships

10/22     Mercury quincunx Chiron - integrating and acknowledging the deep information coming through for you

10/22     Sun enters Scorpio - deeper, more spiritual experiences in all aspects

10/22     Venus quincunx Eris - some confusion about roles within close relationships, feelings of being left out

10/24     Venus trine Saturn Rx - ideal energy for long term commitment in relationships

10/25     Sun conjunct Mercury Rx - strong mental energy and drive

10/25     Venus square North Node - reminds you that you are the only person who can truly fulfill you and achieve your higher purposes

Huzzah. 

PostScript: There was a definite theme in the individual scopes this week. Creation, chaos, facing fear, trusting the process, dreaming big, and bringing things up from the dark depths. Seems we are all doing much of the same thing in our own unique ways.


ARIES - Your inspiration is not limited by what is concrete and 3D. You have unlimited potential to create and succeed. You are not bound by “reality”, let alone practicality. And if you are questioning if you can really do this thing your heart has decided it wants, the answer is “Yes of course”. In truth, you have already done it.

TAURUS - Is life happening TO you, or FOR you? Your outlook determines so much of how you proceed and succeed. Are you limiting yourself based on past perceived failures? What if those failures were just test runs to eliminate things that don’t work. Did you give up too soon? Be bold, and let the Universe help you.

GEMINI - Do you feel at the mercy or circumstances? What is in front of you that has you quaking in your seasonal slippers, face it head on. Do the thing that scares you! Don’t wait for it to come to you like a feral cat or a timid bunny...go after it. But be a hunter and have a strategy, don’t just chase it.

CANCER - When you are a bright light, you will attract all kinds of people in need. You are not obligated to give your energy to everyone that shows up. Furthermore, don’t get in the habit of only giving all the time, learn to receive, take a compliment, accept help.

LEO - If you’re trying very, very hard to make something happen because you feel it will make you feel accomplished and satisfied and complete, you might be trying TOO hard. Back up, simplify, and bring something in to form, rather than trying to make it perfect before you even consider it. Progress over perfection. Just do it.

VIRGO - You are bringing something from obscurity into clarity, even if only for yourself. When things rise up out of the deep dark places within us, it can make us feel fearful. But fear will shut down the process. So trust that you brought this thing up for a reason and trust your higher self to use it.

LIBRA - Trust the process. If you try on a shoe and it doesn’t fit, do you feel inclined to mangle your foot to make it work? No, you (hopefully) try on a different shoe! Don’t deem yourself a failure because someone else’s template for your life isn’t fitting. Trust yourself and don’t abandon your authentic feelings.

SCORPIO - Wherever you find yourself judging yourself a failure, flip the script. Instead, you’ve succeeded in eliminating an option that doesn’t work for your vision. Release the burden of perfectionism and maintain course. Failure is a necessary obstacle on the path of achieving.

SAGITTARIUS - You may have recently completed something or released something, but where you expected to find satisfaction, there may be chaos. Chaos is a part of the creative process. As you look at the pieces, ask how they make you feel and determine if you keep them or toss them based on that. Stuff that makes you feel guilty...out! You don’t want that in your final recipe.

CAPRICORN - You are uniquely equipped to impose order to chaos and create something out of practically nothing. But you don’t have nothing, you have a lot of stuff that may seem mismatched at the moment. Don’t worry and create wrinkles about how the pieces of your plan fit together. Lay them out and let it come to you.

AQUARIUS - Do you reject people and connections out of a fear that they will not like you? So what if they don’t like you?! It’s not as though you are not used to not fitting in. Forget about opinions about you. Choose to consciously connect to people and energy that fits easily. The intimacy that will come from a tribe created this way is far deeper than what you’d get if you weren’t “picky”.

PISCES - If you’re finding yourself feeling a little dark these days, don’t panic. Within that darkness is so much potential. The darkness is where things grow. You’ve manifested something significant and it is gestating now. This can feel isolating and heavy, but it’s actually powerful and reaffirming.

Pack a change of clothes...

Lather, Rinse, Repeat, bitches. This week continues the tense and thick energy of the last few weeks (the whole year if we’re being honest). There are some pockets of hope and positive feelings, however. And the less cheery transits do give us ample opportunity to clear and release energetic waste. So really, 2020 is a bit like a really long bout of energetic diarrhea. We are getting rid of what’s making us ill (hopefully!). It’s shitty, it’s uncomfortable, we can’t really go out because we can’t trust a fart (plus everything is still mostly closed), and no one wants to come hang out with us. So just eat some toast and hydrate, babe. We will get through this and feel the sun and hug each other again...eventually.

10/12 Jupiter sextile Neptune Rx - harmony (yay)
10/12 Mercury sextile Venus - friendly, fun energy (yay)
10/13 Sun opposite Mars Rx - assertiveness (meh)
10/13 Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio - deep feelings resurfacing/revisiting (ugh)
10/14 Sun trine North Node - things line up to bring you closer to your calling (yay)
10/15 Sun square Pluto - issues with authority (ugh)
10/16 New Moon in Libra 12:30pm PST - finding balance in the struggle (meh)
10/18 Sun square Saturn Rx - heavy energy, pessimism (ugh)
10/18 Venus opposite Neptune Rx - relationship and finance issues (ugh)
10/18 Mars square Jupiter - energy and enthusiasm (yay)


This week’s main event is mercury retrograde...in Scorpio. All of 2020’s Mercury retrogrades have been in the water signs, and all of 2019’s mercury retrogrades were also in water signs (2019 summer Mercury Rx backed into Leo, but started and stopped in Cancer). Clearly the universe would like us to get in touch with our deeper feelings.

Feelings seem to be at the forefront of most major societies right now. Emotions have reached boiling point several times. In fact we seem to be in a state of strong simmering incessantly.

If you subscribe to the belief that you shouldn’t do anything during Mercury retrograde, well have fun Christmas shopping. We are not out of the shadow of Mercury Rx until November 19th. I do not personally find it necessary to avoid things during this period. Though you should enter into anything with a clear mind and not be impulsive. Double check your emails, don’t call your ex, and make sure all your ducks are in a row.

While Mercury is in retrograde motion it interacts with Saturn and Uranus. Uranus does rule technology and since we are all dependent on it for school and work now, that could cause some frustration. Uranus can also bring surprising news, and sudden insights, and nervous energy.

Tea and toast, darling. Tea and toast...

Also happening this week is the Libra New Moon. I love new moons normally, but this one on the 16th has some uncomfortable moments with Saturn, Pluto and Mars. Oh joy. We’re all so used to swimming in those energies now, our fingers are pruny. Here’s the breakdown: While the overall energy of this lunation is finding and reestablishing balance, there is obvious imbalance that comes to awareness. Are the energies of giving and receiving in your life equal-ish? This is a new cycle and a great time to set intentions for righting the scales. Also at play, however, are some definite tension points. The New Moon opposite Mars: willfullness, even aggression are likely. Also hostility and just general assholyness. Skip being passive aggressive and just be forthcoming about what you want. New Moon square Saturn makes getting what you want more difficult and brings frustration. You may feel criticized or put-upon. New Moon square Pluto is, of course, about power, control, and authority. Paranoia, fearfulness, and obsessiveness are not out of the question. And finally, Mars square Pluto joins this New Moon party for a dash of power struggle, domination, and maybe sabotage.

So, let’s recap. Moody, irritable, nervous, emotional, angry, frustrated...and gassy. Awesome. Here’s your individual scopes. These scopes seem to mostly reflect some things we have neglected or set aside and Mercury retrograde and the New Moon are giving you another opportunity to get things straightened out.


ARIES - You are even stronger than any of us knows. There is an inner force that makes you one of the most steadfast of partners when you are inspired. Whatever you are enduring or undertaking right now, know that you are supported by the Divine. Desires and experiences don’t come in to our lives by accident. You deserve love, and love will get you through the hard times.

TAURUS - Whatever aspect of yourself you are currently questioning, take a moment and flip the script. That thing that you think is your greatest weakness is also your super power. Even if it is a ridiculous thing, it is your green lantern. Normal is boring anyway. Be completely you and let your crazy beacon shine bright!

GEMINI - You are either in, or about to enter, a time when your sense of self love and pride for yourself are blossoming. You will soon feel so empowered about the issue you’ve been wavering on or struggling with. You will emerge from this period of time a new kind of badass as you have not been before!

CANCER - If you are questioning if your inspiration or goal is practical, stop that. Practicality is not how dreams come true. You may, if you have not already, receive a bolt of inspiration that lights you up and puts you on an unexpected path. Don’t question its weirdness, embrace its awesomeness!

LEO - You are in a portal of energy right now with access to creativity, money, and inspiration. The key to unlocking and holding on to this is gratitude. But if we are honest with ourselves, we have to be grateful even for the crappy things that have happened recently, because those storms have steered your ship to port. Your ship is coming in!

VIRGO - Don’t let anyone else tell you how to feel about you. You deserve happiness and you don’t have to work yourself to the bone to earn it from other people. Don’t wait around for someone else to validate you, love you, forgive you or tell you what you’re worth. You have to give those things to yourself. If you are beating yourself up about something, stop it. Forgive yourself and move ahead.

LIBRA - This is your week to manifest something you really want. Don’t expect it to show up the next day, but do expect it to show up. Belief is 9/10 of manifesting! Don’t put conditions and expectations on it and try to make it all practical and do-able. Let the Universe work out the details. Just offer up your desire. And Happy Birthday.

SCORPIO - There’s change coming. But right now you might be in the forest and not sure what those tall leafy things around you are. Rise above the confusion and know, with absolute confidence, that you can navigate any changes of direction that you are faced with. It is important that you train your thoughts to be optimistic right now as much as you can.

SAGITTARIUS - Your tribe is super important to you now. That heart connection you have with your close people is your lifeline. To that end, you have to be brave enough to be vulnerable, and strong enough to reveal your needs. Forget what you thought you wanted. Follow the energy that feels like “home”.

CAPRICORN - Your connection to the Earth is powerful this week. Spend some time in nature, in the dirt, around the trees, and let that energy soothe and guide you. You are being directed toward your life purpose more and more these days. But to hear that voice, you have to find quiet space. Nature will never interrupt…

AQUARIUS - Words are far more powerful than most people realize (except Gemini. They get it). And it is time for you to speak your unedited, unfiltered truth. In the process of carrying everyone else’s water, you often forget to take care of yourself and risk dying of thirst. So speak up! It doesn’t need to be harsh, it just needs to be sincere.

PISCES - You are your own knight in shining armor, your own savior, your own superhero. If you’ve been waiting for someone to do what they need to do to keep you, its time to ask yourself how long you’re willing to wait. Don’t be a Princess, be a Queen and lay down some expectations about how others treat you.

BitchScopes for the week of October 5th - Awkward

Well wasn’t last week just a hoot?

No. Last week was a shit show.💩 Both in the United States as a whole, and for most of us, personally. A number of people’s asses were illuminated by that Aries full moon, and you all know about the information that came out on that day as well (Trump being positive for Covid).

  This week the Sun and Mars both make strong aspects to other planets, increasing our drive and energy. But on the flip side of that, we might be feeling pretty flimsy and insecure behind the scenes. It's an awkward juxtaposition of being motivated AF and feeling vulnerable as well. Personal relationships could feel a smidge wonky this week too. But don’t be reactive and flip out. Any disconnects you feel are temporary.

Collectively, progress will start to happen, but very slowly. Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto have all turned direct and will begin moving forward. Mercury and Mars, while they definitely affect the collective, are a little more personal. We won’t see real change and progress until January.

Mercury will begin retrograde on 10/13, so I will talk more in depth about that next week.


10/7 Mercury opposite Uranus Rx - time seems to move quickly. You could feel nervous. Unexpected little annoyances may show up. 

10/8 Venus quincunx Chiron - insecurity, feeling vulnerable in relationships

10/9 Mars Rx square Pluto - Power struggles and confrontations (I would definitely expect this to play out in US politics this week)

10/10 Mars Rx sextile North Node - your drive and ambition toward your higher goals is increased

10/10 Venus trine Uranus Rx - unexpected events can revitalize your personal relationships

10/11 Sun square Jupiter - confidence and pride...keep yourself in check. 

10/11 Sun quincunx Neptune Rx - You may be trying to assert yourself in work or relationships only to feel a vague sense that something is changing or not quite clicking.


Here’s this week’s Scopes:


ARIES - You continue to benefit from Mars being pretty much unleashed in your sign. You are empowered more than ever to pursue your dreams. You have much support behind you to move ahead as Spirit inspires you. Manifest your heart out!


TAURUS - Pay attention to anything that feels synchronistic or coincidental this week. Anything that feels like a moment or stroke of luck is meant to get your attention and alert you to the fact that you are being assisted by Spirit. Listen to your gut and what you feel pulled toward. This week, Destiny is trying to talk to you.


GEMINI - Ring Ring. Hello? Hello. Higher Self Calling. You’re being invited to be more yourself. Follow that thread of energy that gets your fire burning. The more authentically YOU you are, the more empowered you will become. You have everything you need to take the next steps.


CANCER - This week you may need to use your intellect a bit more than your intuition. Logic and reason, truth and strategy...these are the tools in your toolbox this week. Follow your own inner authority over any external authority, and don’t give way your power in a moment of deep feeling.


LEO - Lean into your creative fire this week to find new connections. You and a small tribe can be very successful in co-creating something very impactful. Whatever your vision is, share it with some of your trusted spirit family and get to work on it!


VIRGO - Your current path is changing, and will continue to shift to align you to your highest good. Tap in to your inner wisdom and make choices that take you in a very different direction. This may sound terrifying, but it doesn’t need to be. You will feel liberated by choosing something different.


LIBRA- Surprises are afoot for you. Stay grounded and present while things unfold. It could simply be an epiphany that you have had, or a surprising opportunity that presents itself, somewhat upending the plans you already made. After some mild confusion, you’ll be in a better spot than you are now.


SCORPIO - Conflict may show up around you or within you this week. This doesn’t feel shattering. It does feel illuminating. Take note of how you react to situations and be willing to examine your motives based on what you notice. Choose integrity over self-righteousness


SAGITTARIUS - Whatever you are currently letting go of, keep doing it! This journey, while seemingly full of loss, it raising you to a new level of personal authenticity. By letting go of the things that distract you and unground you, you deepen your experience and allow new energy in.


CAPRICORN - Are you feeling disillusioned? (of course you are, you’re a Cap!) Good. Embrace that and allow the truth to come forward. If there’s something you’ve been in denial about, clarity will arrive and help you see things clearly, and with strength.


AQUARIUS - You are being invited, encouraged, nudged, etc. to experience a shift in perspective. If you have been a little too much in your flesh suit lately, you will feel much more drawn to connect to Spirit in the next several days (or weeks). This deeper connection is going to help you manifest what you’re working on much more quickly.


PISCES - You may find yourself examining your progress, your path ahead, and some choices that are before you now. If you want to scrap something and start over, this is your sign that its ok to do that! This is your life, and you get to co-create it. Be bold...you’re supported.
