Chaos, Panic, and Disorder…right after this nap - BitchScopes for the week of October 31st and the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus

Whew. That's the longest blog title I've ever had! I truly do need a nap, so I'll cut to the chase - Whatever is coming up for you from the past, get ready to scrub it off and heal. It is time to face discomfort that might be trying to get your attention so that you can move beyond where you are. Sometimes when we read horoscopes, particularly ones that include dramatic events like eclipses, our mind thinks of absolutes: losing jobs, breaking ups, bankruptcy. Those kinds of extremes are unusual. In my personal experience since I’ve been an aware person, it is much more like an onion. I’m not a botanist so I’m 1000% sure this isn’t how actual onions work, but for human onions, the center of the onion keeps growing and expanding upward, causing the outer layers to start to peel back. Those outer layers are blocking the sunshine of our spirit and they’re basically just in the way. Every change inducing event peels those outer, old layers back a little more, or peels one off all the way. An extreme event would be like if you’re prepping an onion for chopping and you peel back several layers at once. So these eclipses do definitely help us shed those no-longer-needed layers faster than normal, and while it usually isn’t a chopping type situation (except for the tears perhaps), it can be unsettling depending on your personal onion situation.

Anyway, this is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. A full moon lunar eclipse is like a full moon on steroids, and we know that full moons can be whackadoo. Taurus is the sign of comfort, stability, material possessions, luxury, sensuality, love and money. So emotional instability and insecurity is likely (warn your friends who work in emergency services, haha…no…seriously.) Relationships that feel shaky now are likely to undergo some real come-to-Jesus moments, and solid relationships will likely feel strengthened when the dust settles.

Full moons have a way of outing information and shining a light on secrets. This moon is opposite Uranus, which will create some chaos and unexpected jolts. But the real “oh shit” moment is that this eclipse happens ON election day. I really hope we don’t have any

January 6th type bullshit, but there could be some major upsets. I know I’m hoping for a couple upsets in my state, but I know no matter what, 50% of us are going to be unhappy. Taurus is a conservative sign, but also represents a digging in of heels. So I wouldn’t begin to try to predict how this might play out. This is a total lunar eclipse, also called a "blood moon" because the Earth passes between the sun and moon and casts a reddish shadow on the moon.  We won't have another total lunar eclipse until 2025 (there are eclipses every year, but not always total), so it bears repeating that we pay attention, and be grateful for the guidance/jump start/shove.  Ground yourself, rest, meditate, and tune in to your feelings and intuition. 

That happens on Tuesday, and I’m covering it in this week’s scopes so you can sort of prepare yourself, to the extent that is possible. I doubt anyone could accurately anticipate what will happen, but the fact that we know some shit’s about to go down gives us a leg up.

So let me backtrack and tell you about the week of Monday November 1st thru the 7th -

There’s a prominent relationship energy this week. Healing past wounds, crappy relationship habits, and self worth are all on the docket. It looks to me from the transits leading up to the eclipse that they are giving us a taste of what to expect. Words like “agitation”, “awkward”, “growth”, “misunderstood”, “adjustments” and “frustration” populate many of the transits. In fact there is not a lot of career or ambition type energy at all, and that makes sense because Mars is officially retrograde now. All our drives are going to feel a bit of a downshift. I usually feel things in advance, even when I am not at all aware of them, or have consciously forgotten. As I write this (Sat 10/29 and Sun 10/30) Mars is stationing retrograde and is either extremely slow or still. I feel completely drained, tired, sleepy, drugged, and achey. Is this a taste of Mars retrograde on my ascendant? FML. Let me know what you’re feeling. You may feel similar vibes based on Mars’ placement in your chart (see last week’s scopes).There are 2 "no pants days" this week! That's 3 Fridays in a row. Good thing I don't wear pants, because I'm too tired to take mine off!

Alrighty so, who is ready to have an awesomely awkward week? Woohoo!!! I would offer some kind of solace but bitches, I am tired. Good night!


ARIES - You know how when you change purses (or backpacks or whatever) you leave behind all kinds of crumbs and papers and change in the bottom? This full moon is going to shine a bright light into the bottom of your bank account. Ew.  The way you handle money is definitely up for examination. The Sun is in the 8th house of debts and the Full Moon is in the 2nd house of money earned. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing. After you realize that you've been paying for some stupid shit you don't need anymore and make all the numbers behave, you might also have some realizations about how you can make money in a new way. 


TAURUS - Hey, good news! Closeness with your significant other or object of desire is likely to increase in the wake of this moon.  Make sure you are operating at a mature level, and not as your old self. You'll be harshly reminded if you backslide.  This full moon is also in your 1st house of self,  and the ripples of energy that come from this will last for months and set you on a new path that is more in alignment with how you feel on the inside.  In the short term, you should start to see some of the fruits of your recent efforts. 


GEMINI - I'm starting to feel a bit singled out as a Gemini.  I'm joking, but it's true.  With Mars in our sign for so many months, half of it in retrograde, we are getting a break from burnout, a chance to rest and reset, and now, this moon shines a light in the back of our closet- the 12th house. Have you ever moved house and when you get your closet emptied there's just a bunch of movie tickets, gum wrappers, sweet n low packets,  lost earrings and other detritus? That's what this full moon will illuminate. Old patterns and projects you've lost track of, as well as old fears can all come up again.  It isn't to torture you (us.  I'm biting my lip with you!) - it's to scrub off that crap so growth can occur. When you start to feel bajiggity, remember your weird-ass 12th house is being activated.  It's happening for us, not to us. 


CANCER - Some old talents and skills you haven't used or thought about in quite awhile could come in handy and bring in some new opportunities for you. You might meet some new people as a result of this "old" gift.  In the wake of this eclipse energy, you may start to see more clearly, the intentions and motivations, as well as the gifts of the people around you on a regular basis. If you're in a management position, this is a fantastic gift of insight.  If you aren't already, pay attention to your dream life, as you may get creative hits and ideas from your unconscious. Overall there's an emphasis on good stuff you've forgotten about. 


LEO - Am I crazy (that's rhetorical. Sit down, Amanda) or have I talked a lot about your career this year? Well here we are. This full moon illuminates your public life. If you have an active social media presence, it could get kicked up a notch in the next few months.  You have Mars in your 11th house as well, which could give a boost to your social life in general, but also to your dreams and long term goals.  At any rate, your career life is getting a rejuvenating hit. The path that brings you joy is the correct path. If you're not on it yet, you will be! Be sure you are not neglecting your home and family during periods of growth and inspiration...its easy to do. 


VIRGO - This full moon lights up your 9th house of beliefs. You could have some insights or a glimpse of your future and your life once you've reached your goals.  A full moon in this house has a way of shining a light on the truth. Sagittarius is the ruler of the 9th and gives zero fucks about hurting feelings, it only cares about truth for truth's sake.  The sun is in Scorpio in your 3rd house of information as well. So if you are looking for answers, you will get them. All of this seems to point toward your career rather than your personal life (Mars is in your 10th), but I can't rule anything out. The point is that if your path no longer aligns with who you are, you gotta face it and move ahead to the next phase. 


LIBRA - This full moon happens in your transformational 8th house of other people's stuff.  This can be debts, financial obligations, or psychological stuff.  In the case of the latter, look to your partner and see what is coming up between you from their closet. Or maybe you're carrying a lot of the emotional weight in the relationship (or not enough...either way, the scales are off). Things may also be completed or finalized at this time...like emotional baggage from past relationships, or financial debts and payment plans. Mars is in your 9th house so legal matters could be finalized between now and March. Intimacy is favored during this time if everyone is in their truth.  


SCORPIO - This period of time could shake up relationships, or how you feel about them.  Solid relationships will benefit, but shaky relationships might be up for reconsideration. With this full moon illuminating other people, you can see them more clearly and know how to move forward.  There is such a thing as compromise, but the sun is in your 1st house of self, so don't throw yourself and your needs under the bus to keep the peace. You have to be honest with yourself.  Be somewhat gentle with yourself and with your partner during this time - because you know how you are. This placement also rules contractual work agreements and employee-employer relationships. 


SAGITTARIUS - Pay attention to your body for the next few weeks, as a full moon here can illuminate issues that you weren't aware of.  This placement can also call attention to habits, routines and work projects that aren't working anymore or are no longer needed.  There might be changes afoot in your workplace that change your tasks, routine, or location.  Additionally, this is the house of service, so you might feel like you're not doing meaningful enough work.  Volunteer work is the perfect scratch for that kind of itch, and this is the time of year where it is pretty easy to find ways to give to others.  


CAPRICORN - As I've mentioned, Mars is in your 6th house, possibly causing some energy shifts in your workplace, or the type of work you do.  That feeds into a loop with the planets involved in this eclipse.  Your 5th house of creating and 11th house of dreams are activated by this full moon.  You are likely to feel more inspired and creative, or realize that you are lacking inspiration, during these transits. F-u-n.  If there was ever a sign that eternally needed to experience more joy, baby it's you.  Take in some artsy stuff over the next couple of months. Don't worry about the work stuff, because you're solid and your career intuition is strong. 


AQUARIUS - This full moon can bring things into completion at home - like finally getting the last boxes unpacked (speaking for myself).  Or you may have some realizations that you are not paying enough attention to your family because you are caught up in philanthropy or (likely at this time) politics.  Mars is in your creativity sector, so you may feel creatively fired up, or like someone unplugged your ideas machine.  Either way, this all seems to point to home. Taurus is about security, both financial and emotional. But Taurus is also a fantastic decorator, so maybe it's time to jazz things up. Get your family together and involved. 


PISCES - This full moon takes place in your 3rd house, so things regarding siblings, your neighborhood, neighbors, social media and communication are  highlighted.  In fact this moon shines a pretty bright light on these things.  Mars is in  your 4th house of home and family as well.  Perhaps there are projects that you've been putting off at home or in your family that are starting to show their wear.  Information that hasn't been available to you can suddenly pop up out of the blue.  It might be as simple as getting a new neighbor. But if you are in any kind of publishing or broadcasting, the deal that you've been waiting for or that you didn't even know existed may show up.

BitchScopes for the week of October 24th and MARS RETROGRADE

Before I go begin, did you know BitchScopes is also a podcast now?  Find it on Apple, Spotify, or Anchor.fm/bitchscopes.  Even if you prefer to read it, please subscribe and let it play when you can, because that helps my stats.  Ok, on with the scoop!

This is obviously a very significant week where we have both a partial solar eclipse conjunct Venus, asking us to tidy up our emotional and financial messes, and Mars stationing retrograde in Gemini. Last week’s scopes I discussed where the eclipse will hit each sign’s chart. This week I will discuss the potential effects of Mars retrograde on each sign.  In general, think back to May of this year, because both the eclipse and Jupiter are harkening us there. Jupiter is backing into Pisces, where it began its retrograde, and the previous eclipse in Taurus was in May.  Also, if you think back farther - to around 1985 and 2003, see if you can pick out some themes. Those same themes are coming up again. Cycles...everything is cycles.  It's just that sometimes life feels like a spin class!

Mars is going to be in Gemini until March 2023! He will be retrograde from October 30 to January 12.  Mars retrogrades can be difficult. Mars is a very personal planet, but these retrogrades have been historically significant in the US for the last few years.  The last time Mars was retrograde was the Fall of 2020, during election time! At that time, Mars in Aries kept dancing around the final degree of Aries, never quite hitting 29°, which I described as the frustration of not being able to sexually climax. It finally “popped” in January of 2021…do you wanna guess the date? January 6th 2021, the Trump Insurrection! 29 degrees is sort of a crisis point in astrology. Mars in Aries at 29° is bound to be a fight of some kind, and holy shit was it ever!

Mars normally changes degree every 2 days. At his slowest pace, toward the beginning and end of retrograde, he spends about 8 or 9 days in a degree (going either forward or backward, then repeating another 9 days in the other direction). In 2020, Election day was November 3 and Mars was retrograde on day 5 of 16° Aries. The day after the election, Mars changed degrees to 15° Aries. Mars then stayed at 15° of for 21 days, going direct in the middle. My friend Greg Witham called this kind of planetary behavior “burning a hole”. That slow burn continued until it popped. Mars continued forward, slowly simmering until it reached boiling point on January 6th.

So that’s the kind of impact fiery Mars can have. Let’s not hope for another day of fuckery like that! We have a mid term election during Mars retrograde, this time with Mars in the Air Sign of Gemini. Air can fuel fire, so we will have to see what happens. Gemini rules communication, travel, transportation, and moving parts. Uh…Mail your ballots early and track them!!!!

The last time Mars was retrograde in Gemini was 2007/2008 when the credit industry was high on itself and the mortgage crisis was about to pop. Sounds a bit familiar, huh? Around that same time, Pluto entered Capricorn. Pluto leaves Capricorn (Thank Goddess!) for Aquarius (more on that soon) in March of 2023. A couple days later, Mars finally moves into Cancer! So I definitely think we are in for a big shift over the next few years. I mean, when aren’t we “in for a big” something?! Again, I’m so tired of living in extraordinary times. But regardless of my feelings, it is very hard to ignore these trends! So Mars in Gemini has been our escort for Pluto in Capricorn, leading us in, and seeing us out of these “extraordinary times”. Wow.

Mars moved in to 25° of Gemini last Friday October 21st. Mars will spend 19 days at 25°, going retrograde in the middle of that on October 30th. It will remain retrograde until January 12th!!

The critical midterm elections are on November 8th and Mars will change degree…the day after the election - again!! What’s with this crazy “the next day” vibe?!!

(Further adding to election day madness is another eclipse on November 8th in Taurus. That’s right, there will be an eclipse ON election day! The Universe is definitely having a say in the US elections of the last few years!! But more on that next week!) But first…

These mid term elections on November 8th are SO important. Regardless of how you vote (I really can’t imagine I have any real red readers here but love you if you are!), it is critical that you do vote. If you are a woman, particularly a woman of color, VOTE!

As for how Mars retrograde affects us personally (it is a personally planet and like it or not, politics are very personal), you should expect a slow down. Mental processes will slow down, the mail services will slow down, your computer may even slow down. This retrograde could also increase the likelihood of controversy, gossip, even scandal, as well as intellectual wars or words and rudeness. Mars in Gemini is not well filtered. So be slow to speak and be mindful of what you say and how you say it.

ARIES - Mars is your ruling planet, so the next few months you are likely to notice some significant energy. Since this Mars in Gemini transit will be camping out in your 3rd house of communication, you can expect to have old discussions or arguments come back up.  Times where your temper has been misplaced or badly expressed will been on your mind.  Where peace can be made, do it.  Forgive yourself and commit lessons learned to memory.  You are probably going to notice that your personal energy level is lower during Mars retrograde. Take this as a cue to downshift and slow down for the next few months. Re-examine what your current passions are (because we change over time), and go after them full speed in the Spring of 2023.

TAURUS - Mars will be hanging out in your 2nd house of earned income for quite awhile. If you haven't already been doing so, you can expect to find yourself looking over your budget and getting clear on what is what and why.  If you have been spending too much or sacrificing too much, this retrograde is a good opportunity to introspect on why you do what you do with money. Mars, especially Mars retrograde, can feel sluggish mixed with your 2nd house dominion. Slow and steady is practical and contrary to Mars' impulsive nature. This is going to create anxiety and restlessness in you, so just go with the flow and be a good steward of your mental & physical health. 

GEMINI - As a Gemini rising myself, I write this with trembling fingers...this Mars retrograde in our sign could...make our tempers shorter and our actions more impulsive.  (Shit. shit shit shit! *breathing*) We are ok. Ok, we've got this.  We might also have feelings of insecurity coming up, as well as recollections of times we didn't feel heard or believed. Since our Gemini energy levels might be much lower than usual (shit shit shit), we may as well just sit the fuck still and do some healing.  That might include finally standing up for ourselves, or just doing some deep meditating. Mars will be chatty in this sign, so watch yourself for (excessive) shit talk. 

CANCER - Mars will be in your closet for several months, and he's gonna smoke a few joints in there. That might make you feel some kinda way, but I assure you, no one is less thrilled than Mars.  Mars in this deep, watery, secretive, religious, lonely house is going to feel quite suffocated.  Mars wants to go for a run or go to the gym, not face his feelings.  You might feel a little spacier during this transit. But this could also be a very transcendental experience where you feel  connected to both your more primal nature and your spiritual potential.  Embrace a hotter side of yourself. 

LEO - During Mars' time in Gemini (now through March!), you will probably start to see or feel like your tribe, team, BFF or work twin are a little out of sync or just "off".  A misunderstanding, if it hasn't already come into play, is not unlikely during these months.  Everyone needs to get on the same page, but to do that, everyone has to feel heard.  Tempers could be very unpredictable in this placement. Might be a good time to look at your hopes and dreams checklist and see if it needs to be updated. If it is on the list because of someone else's opinions, dig into that. Don't expect to feel super motivated or productive, just try to keep things level. 

VIRGO - Mars will be living in your 10th house of career for quite a few months. Mars retrograde in this position could have you feeling less motivated about advancement, achievement, and authority. You may become frustrated and feel like your hard work isn’t getting you anywhere. That isn’t true. Take this period of time as an invitation to re-examine your passions for your career, and see if your fire might burn brighter someplace different  

LIBRA - Your beliefs about some things have definitely changed over the last couple of years. Mars in your 9th house is bound to make you philosophical and introspective. Give yourself the grace and space to examine what your beliefs currently are and if they still line up with your life. This is a time for you to brainstorm and research rather than charge ahead with your hair on fire. When direct in the 9th house, Mars is likely to be revved up about travel and education. While it is in retrograde, planning wins over execution. 

SCORPIO - Mars in the 8th house is...woo! It could be hachacha.  Maybe too much. Respect other people's boundaries and re-examine your own.  You would be wise to learn a technique to control your impulses. Make a list of pros and cons. Go for a jog. Take a shower...whatever keeps you from charging into a financial plan, scheme, or sexual encounter without enough information.  Trust and intimacy are themes of this placement, so this period of time could benefit already close relationships. Make sure to keep the communication flowing, and check in with your internal dialogues as well. 

SAGITTARIUS - This placement could cause competition or confrontation with your spouse or partner (including business partners). Watch your temper and patience level, and hold yourself accountable for how you communicate.  defensiveness and back and forth drama could ensue if you are not behaving consciously.  Utilize this period of time to work on conflict resolution, or get counseling if that feels right. Delays and frustration are built in to this Mars retrograde, so keep your plans with your partner loose. Practice being the best team mate you can be during this time, and be forgiving of mistakes on the part of all parties. 

CAPRICORN - This placement rules your work environment and routine.  If you work in a job sector that is Gemini-ruled (communication, travel, publishing etc.), you may feel this most directly.  Something you've probably already had your eye on is your day to day routine. Something may feel out of whack or just isn't working for you.   Do you need to get up earlier? Do you need more unscheduled time in your day? Guess what else is ruled by the 6th house...health. Yep. It's time you got it together and got your tests or scans or appointments lined up. It might be time for a new doctor.  Watch yourself for feeling like things "have to" get done and anxiety around who what and where. That anxiety and frustration means you're pushing forward prematurely. 

AQUARIUS - If you feel burned out or creatively stuck, this transit could help.  The trick is being able to pull from your internal well of genius, rather than depending on the world at large to inspire you.  Dig deep.  When a topic or issue comes to mind that is interesting, put it on a list and do some exploration. Issues with your own children (and sometimes other people's) are likely to come up during this time. Try not to get locked in a battle of wills (or arguments online) with teenagers, or people of other generations.  This house also rules romance, so it could slow down or feel like it is backing off.  It could also deepen a bit if you use that internal fire to your advantage. 

PISCES - Frustrations around your home of origin, current house, or family issues are likely over the next few months.  Whatever comes up is going to hang around for awhile so don't feel rushed to resolve everything instantly. If you've been hiding or embracing denial about some frustration in regards to your home life,  give yourself a safe space to process your true feelings.  If you need to release some anger, try listening to some loud and aggressive music. I do this when I am driving, but if that doesn't feel safe to you, do it at home when you're alone and just have a rage rave.  Then take a bubble bath. Lather, rinse, repeat.  The resolution/solution will present itself when it is ready.

BitchScopes for 10/17-24 + the New Moon Eclipse in Scorpio

There’s a few things I wanted to point out about this week’s planetary hijinx. I am going to also focus on the eclipse, even though it happens next Tuesday. It happens in the wee hours of Monday morning on the West coast, and I want us to have time to prepare, to the extent that it is possible. That may actually be laughable.  But at least you'll have an idea which area of your life is most likely to be jolted. Also, I need next week's Scopes to talk about Mars retrograde. So yep…this is an intense period of changes we are coming up on.

The planets this week give us a little foreshadowing of the eclipse energy. There’s a variety of transits that indicate some turbulence in relationships, and we may struggle to find solutions to problems in various areas of life. There are 6 quincunxes, 7 transits involving Venus, 6 involving Mercury, and the Sun is involved in 8 transits this week! If you look back at past BitchScopes, that’s a lot of Sun activity in one week! The Sun and Venus both shift into Scorpio, and that’s the shift from commitment to intimacy, so put on your goggles and get ready to dive deep.

I like to characterize our big 3 in astrology as follows. Our physical body is a car. The Sun is like the engine, how powerful it is, how much torque it has, how loud it is, how it performs. It is literally what powers your fleshsuit. The Moon is what your car needs - the type of fuel. Is it electric or diesel? Does it need high performance gas and expensive oil changes? The ascendant is the style and color of your car. It is how people recognize you on the road. Is it a car or a truck? Is it flashy or practical? Are there stickers? What do they say? Is the plate personalized? Are the windows tinted? Are you blasting your music?

When the Sun makes a transit either to another planet in the sky or to your natal planets, you should pay attention. We will definitely feel this energy! The Venus transits are all fairly intense as well, and the Mercury transits all indicate a level of seriousness and some mental frustration. Our usual tactics and mental processes aren’t going to work as well as usual. We can’t think our way out of things as effectively as we normally would. Venus indicates that things will be deep and intense. We need more intimacy. The key words for the sun’s interactions are: catharsis, confidence, power struggles, desire for peace, tension, and intensity.

And thennnnnn….we have Saturn stationing direct. The next few months will be a period of integrating and incorporating the lessons Saturn has imparted during retrograde. What have you been learning? What has society been learning? Elections should be very interesting and significant! On the world stage, Ukraine started gaining the upper hand during Saturn’s retrograde. Women in the US have been angrily conspiring about reproductive rights. So let’s see what comes of it.

Now, the eclipse…

In a new moon solar eclipse, the moon comes between the Sun and the Earth blocking the rays of the sun from Earth’s surface and plunging us into temporary darkness. New moons are for manifesting, right? Not this one. It is generally ill-advised to work on manifesting in eclipse energy. This is not a time to charge or bathe your crystals, or try to set intentions. Eclipses naturally have an effect of speeding up timelines. So things set in motion since the last eclipse can be brought to fruition more quickly, but there’s often a curveball of some kind. This is a good time to assess things and take care of unfinished business. If you have feelings you have not dealt with or expressed, get in touch with them. Are your romantic needs being met? This lunation is conjunct Venus to an exact degree, so a heart (or wallet, since Venus rules finances also) reset is likely, though it may feel a bit more like a defibrillator - CLEAR!

Focus on your current connections and the things you feel passionate about in life. Open yourself to see and experience these people and things in a new way. Trust the process. Trust the universe. Because this eclipse is on the South node of the moon, something will end before it begins. This is eclipsing out old energy. That does NOT mean everyone will break up so calm your tits, friends. Scorpio rules all things mysterious and taboo, emotional intensity, intimacy, and exploration of boundaries. Scorpio wants to pull back the veil on hidden desires and motivations.


Here’s how your rising or sun sign can expect to experience this eclipse:


Aries

Time to get emotionally naked! I’m laughing because that was meant to be a little triggery but you’re you. Another sign would be already closing their browser, heehee. Anyway, this eclipse is about connection and intimacy. Your vulnerability may cause passions to stir, so don’t be afraid to go deep. Your real challenge is letting go and letting the intimacy happen without trying to control it.


Taurus

What’s going on with relationships in your world? This eclipse is going to shove you in the direction you need to go, with an emphasis on letting go of old shit. Take time to take emotional inventory and ask yourself to be honest about if your needs are being met or you give too much, etc. Even if you’re in a good relationship, this could be a great reset for you.


Gemini

Since Scorpio rules your 6th house, you are passionate about the ways you work and why.
Your routines are likely to get a little shake up in this eclipse. Routines and habits are what shape our experience of “reality”. Things that force you to change or slow down are things you should pay attention to and ask “what’s happening and what can I learn from this?”

Cancer

I feel like I’ve said this to you a lot this year, but your creative sector is getting a blast from this eclipse. Finish up old projects that feel worth it, and start up some new ones based on any jolts of inspiration you get. Eclipses move us forward, so don’t be afraid to try something new and expand your repertoire. This placement (5th house) also rules children. So if there is unfinished business between you and one of your offspring, see if you can get it finished up, ironed out, etc.


Leo

This eclipse is a chance for you to examine your current home and family and see if you’ve built what you wanted to build. The 4th house is also a sentimental house, so you’re likely to be thinking about childhood holiday memories and things of that nature as well. What did you successfully end that was unhealthy? What may you have forgotten to bring forward out of the past that is lovely?

Virgo

Your current way of thinking or communicating is likely to get a shake up in this eclipse. This isn’t so much a change in what you believe, so much as how you receive and offer information. Scorpio is very psychic energy, so tap in to your intuition. I’m a big believer that using pen and paper to get information out of the conscious and unconscious mind, so do some automatic writing or some journaling and see what comes up.

Libra

The eclipse is giving a kick in the pants to your 2nd house of earned money and security. Do you feel secure? Are your finances where you want them? Are you stretching too much? You may have to compromise somewhere in your budget. Scorpio is very intuitive so you probably already know what this is, but the eclipse will move you forward on your timeline for better or worse, so do a little emotional homework.

Scorpio

Well obviously this eclipse hits you right in your 1st house of identity. How are you feeling in your fleshsuit these days? Do you know who you are right now? If you answered “No”, you’re right on track. As I’ve said before, when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it has to dissolve into goo first, and you may be in the goo phase. The changes that come from this period are needed, and ultimately it will feel better so try not to fight it and just go with the gooey flow for now.

Sagittarius

Spiritual questions are one of your fortes. You think and philosophize in a way that is unique and needed. During this eclipse, beliefs can either come into question, or be surfacing from the past for reexamination. You’re leveling up spiritually, so its time to get clear on some things and let some things go. Tie up loose ends and offer forgiveness where you feel prompted. Beliefs that don’t resonate with who you are now need to be released.

Capricorn

This eclipse can shake up your friends and associations. Because eclipses move us forward rapidly, you may be thrust into a new group of some kind due to other circumstances in your life (job change or house move for example). Some connections may end suddenly, or finally. This just clears the way for a new tribe. This house also rules your hopes and dreams. Do your dreams align with your current identity and life?

Aquarius

This eclipse puts you in the spotlight. This can mean a promotion, raise, acknowledgement or some other move up the ladder. But beginnings and endings happen essentially in the same space. Don’t freak out and assume this means you’re losing your job. But changes are necessary for growth and this lunation is a fast forward kind of vibe. This is also an area of your chart that rules authority figures, or your own authority. So this eclipse might boot you forward and make you reclaim your personal power.


Pisces

This is an interesting place for an eclipse because this happens in a truth seeking house (the 9th), and Scorpio loves to dig for the truth. This lunation is going to propel you forward and ask you to reexamine your spirituality, how you define truth and expand your horizons. That all sounds very heady. You may just be shoved forward into more travel or worldly experience. This house also rules teaching, so you can be put in a position of sharing your wisdom. On a mundane level, legal stuff will be finalized as a result of this eclipse.

Neptune on the Loose - BitchScopes for October 10-17

Meanwhile, back at the Bitchtropolis...

Idanno about you all, but my energy is lowwww. I’m writing this smack in the middle of the Full Moon energy and full moons always drain me. But we also have Mars and Neptune doing some bad dancing and those add some drag to our fleshsuits too. My fleshsuit really needs a forest bath, but the mosquitos would literally drain me dry, and I’d probably break my leg getting into place. But a girl can dream…about a flat and short path to a forest clearing with a comfortable recliner surrounded by a mosquito net.

But enough about my weird fantasies.

The first part of this week is a continuation of last week’s insecurity, leading into this week’s restlessness and anxiety. Mid week we start to find our voice and our balls, so to speak, and begin to feel fired up about facing our fears. Personal relationships may take a temporary back seat to passion projects at this time. Anxiety is catharted and becomes confidence over the weekend and into next week.

Mercury seems to be very inspired right now. After a long nap, some big ideas are coming to the surface. Mercury will be exiting the shadow period at 8° of Libra on Sunday, and that’s a big green light to take your inspiration out into the world and do big things with it. Information that has been delayed is coming to light now as well, for better or worse.

This week is heavily influenced by the fog and haze of Neptune. Mars square Neptune is a fairly big deal this week. This square can bring rumors and scandal and a general feeling of discouragement. Later this week we have the Sun quincunx Neptune, which brings a feeling of dissatisfaction and vague sense of feeling lost and disempowered. And then next Monday Venus is quincunx Neptune, adding difficult emotional and financial adjustments.

With all of this Neptune influence, it is a great week to dive into your art. It is not a great week to read and listen to all the news if you are sensitive or very empathic. If you have projects that are close to completion and you have the energy to finish them, I would advise you to jump on it. When Mars retrogrades, we all may feel lower energy than usual.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go shop for mosquito nets.

ARIES - Your dream life is likely to be rich right now, and it will inform your conscious mind and drives. Your self image and identity are undergoing a healing process right now as well, and this healing will ripple out into all areas of your life. This could be a time where you are generating a lot of ideas and solutions. Your personal relationships will benefit the most from your creative process right now. It may seem boring to utilize your higher mind for mundane needs, but humans are, unfortunately, mundane. You should motor, babe…you’re late for the gym.


TAURUS - General feelings of insecurity about your material needs will give way to practical solutions if you do the work. There will be an emphasis on money, comfort, security - all your favorite things, as Mars sets up camp in your 2nd house for several months. You have strong energy gracing your 6th house of getting shit done, so take advantage of it while it is there. A feeling of productivity will grease the wheels of change in your mental processes. In other words, doing stuff will pull you out of a funk. Change doesn’t happen with chenille blankets and new shoes alone, friend.


GEMINI - How you present yourself to the world both professionally and personally currently feels like jeans that are too tight when you sit down. First of all, take off your pants…no one needs that kind of negativity. Secondly, you have tremendous creative energy at your disposal right now, so use it. If you don’t know where to start, just get out a piece of paper and pens or a pencil and start doodling. Write down the words that come to mind, write down things you’re worried about or goals that are on your mind.. Change pen colors if you have options. Make arrows, circle things, scribble little notes. Let this doodle session flow. When you’re done, you may have only doodles of cats with thought bubbles (ok maybe that’s just me). But you may see some patterns, solutions, or find some insight about your path forward.


CANCER - Things you believe, both about yourself, and about big things like higher powers, past lives, the philosophies of governments, and other things that you forget after the edibles wear off, are highlighted right now. You may be moodier than usual (Goddess help us! heehee) while Mars transits your 12th house for a few months. You may feel more introspective and less social. Home is not only where your sign is ruler, but you have fantastic energy available in you in your 4th house right now. So it may be that you want to hunker down with your family, or you get the urge to do projects around the house this fall and winter. I like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, if you were wondering.


LEO - While your most personal relationship(s) might be doing really well these days, it may be conflicting with some of your goals. I guess you gotta get outta bed and put your clothes on, horndog. Check your emails, sexy mcsexy pants! No for real, you may be operating in a pink cloud. Maybe you’re hiding, or maybe you’re just a little lost. You can blame Neptune if you feel foggy, hazy, lazy, confused, or like you’re operating on a different plane than everyone else. Your 3rd house is very strong right now, so you are likely to be busy socializing over the next few weeks, but don’t lose track of those long term goals and the spiritual insight available to you right now..


VIRGO - If you’re in a relationship, the juicy love goodness may be bumping heads with your career. Your 2nd house of earned income is very empowered right now, so I would advise you take advantage of any motivation or insights you have at the present time. The love bubble you might be in will not pop any time soon (if it's the right person, that is). In fact, your romantic partner might be a source of artistic or spiritual inspiration for you, which could inform some of your career goals. So yeah, I guess you can brainstorm in bed…but what will you write with? If you are uncoupled, then you can focus on your work relationships and make that money!


LIBRA - Work might be a source of some confusion for you at the moment. You may be questioning if you’re in the right place. Maybe the daily crap that happens is rubbing up against your personal ethics in an irritating way. Just remember who you are and how you got where you are. This is your season. Your 1st house of identity is empowered right now, so tapping into your personal authenticity will come just a little easier. But it is also possible that you have changed, and your moral compass has shifted a bit, and that is healthy! Don’t be afraid of some change, or to assert yourself in the workplace when you know something is wrong.


SCORPIO - This could be a time of profound creativity for you. You have access to some deep wells and the ability to put inspiration into action. You might also be experiencing some profound insights and downloads in regards to wounds and healing. Your spiritual self is having some major breakthroughs. One place this might materialize is with the children in your life, or with your own inner child. Use creative energy or the energy of play to let healing and spiritual downloads flow toward your consciousness. That’s all very deep, so you should probably have some wine or edibles with your crayons.


SAGITTARIUS - Your sign is known as the free wheeling eternal bachelor of the zodiac. So this week, where everything is about relationships, might bring on some bajiggityness for you. Relationships reflect back at us who we are and what we need. And your relationships may not be properly feeding your pie-in-the-sky, unrealistic expectations for your life. (Yes, that was a tiny dig.) Your home/family home can be a source of rest and inspiration for you, but too much dependence on family can hold you back. Your family and your romantic life may not be in great alignment. Maybe your partner is not well liked by your family or visa versa. Lean on your friends for more impartial guidance, because your 11th house is full of good stuff right now.


CAPRICORN - Well your current forecast looks like …work. So, nothing you aren’t comfortable with. And honestly this doesn’t look like more work, this looks like productivity. You could be receiving a good amount of information that you can apply as needed to your routine and career needs. This information may come from dreams, artistic inspiration, or from the people directly around you on a daily basis. I feel this is an energy of leveling up and gaining focus about the future. Mars will be camping out in your 6th house of service, health and routine for a good long while, so check in with those areas of your life and don’t be caught off guard. Get clear about what you truly desire for your future and maybe trim back some areas of effort that aren’t producing much fruit. Ugh, this horoscope was SO practical!


AQUARIUS - You have the opportunity right now to really do some work around limiting beliefs, inherited beliefs and shedding the stuff that doesn’t feel right to you anymore. Growth and change mean that we outgrow certain systems and paradigms, and actually it’s an exciting opportunity to clean out your unconscious mind. Do some reading about a subject that feels interesting and see what gets tickled in your brain. Also, don’t be afraid to tap into your creative side while Mars is squatting in Gemini this winter. You could make money from your artistic endeavors! Don’t take yourself too seriously. Make sure you incorporate play into any of your money making efforts.


PISCES - Your personal, individual identity and the identity that is projected on to you from your family could be at odds right now. This will be an ongoing issue for a few months, so you have plenty of time to parse through any information you receive in this regard. You have the ability to deep dive into places of intimacy and shadow thanks to a well populated 8th house right now. Utilize it to get clear on who you want to be and how you want your partnerships to reflect back at you. Just plant this seed in your mind and let information come to you with ease. The houses that inform this are the other water houses so it will not be difficult for you to access the information. Its how to employ/deploy the information that you may need help clarifying. Dude. I feel like I wrote this under the influence of an edible!

Gumption Conjunction, What's your Function? BitchScopes for the week of October 3rd and the Aries Full Moon

Alrighty, let’s see what kind of fuckery this week has in store for us. 

As you may recall if you read last week’s *essay*, we begin the week with no pants. No pants day is where there are no major astrological transit to transit aspects. Remove your pants, sit on the couch, drink wine for breakfast and have cereal for dinner.  

Tuesday we have everybody’s favorite transit: Saturn Square Uranus! Oh yay.  So this is the last time this square will peak until 2043.  This square has a history of undoing governments and fucking up the economy so…good news kids, we are right on track! Uranus rules the future and technology and progress, Saturn rules tradition, foundations and rules. These 2 were last squared up in 1999-2001 when Saturn was in Taurus and Uranus was in Aquarius.  Taurus is the earth and natural disasters, as well as money and currency. Aquarius is freedom and rebellion and humanitarianism (and is ruled by Uranus).  During that time, we saw the emergence of the internet (that’s Uranus’ influence) and the election of Putin as President of Russia. (I would love to see this square end that run!) The Euro was born, NATO (led by the US) bombed Yugoslavia (without UN approval), Russia was at war with Chechnya, there was a 7.4 earthquake in Turkey, there was the first crew to live on the International Space Station, the whole Bush vs Gore cluster fuck, with Florida at the center of the fuckery as ever. Vermont legalized same sex marriage (uh, fuck you Saturnian patriarchy much?). There was the USS Cole attacks, California had rolling blackouts, Gates stepped down as CEO of Microsoft, mobile phones became more common, there was a 7.9 earthquake in Indonesia and a 7.4 in Azerbaijan. And then of course 2001 brought terrorism to US soil and changed everything around the world. 

So Tuesday, the Uranus and Saturn square is exact, and they will be slowly moving out of square for several months.  They will still be spittin’ distance from an exact square for quite a while, but the temperature will slowly decrease. 

Wednesday through Saturday there are a number of transits that create insecurity, doubt, uncertainty and general bajiggityness about everything from our relationships to our life’s mission. And there’s a strong theme of “healing” all week.

But remember - healing isn’t the kumbaya part of the journey. Healing is painful and sore, and tender, and swollen and itchy and scabby and oozy.  And that brings us to the Full Moon.  Aries is a symbol of action and personal power, and the moon is feelings. Often, people with a natal Aries Moon are people that might have a lot of feelings, but not really know what to do with them, which I call “not knowing what to do with my hands”.  Emotions need to just be expressed, feelings just need to be felt, and yet, Aries wants to DO something. Which leads to awkward hand placement and lots of shifting around uncomfortably. 

This full moon in Aries is strongly influenced by a conjunction with Chiron, and an  opposition with Venus. This makes us more aware (full moons shine light on circumstances and truths) of our wounds that we haven’t processed or healed. (Great. When aren’t we doing that, Kelly?!  Honestly, I don’t know.)  Fears, doubts, and insecurities surrounding our gifts, strengths, skills, and confidence can pop out of the closet around this time and be all “Look at me and this gross unhealed insecurity from 1987!”  Then Venus joins the party and asks that we face our relationships without leaving our true selves, our truth, our authenticity, behind.  

The Full moon also sextiles Saturn. But this actually can provide us with the gumption (that’s not a word I use often - so you know that means it will be in the title!) to do the emotional work that is necessary. Saturn might actually help us calm our tits and keep our minds a little more focused.  So this moon may be uncomfortable, but it will bring up stuff that needs to come up (I’m making a blah blah blah mocking face at my very own words!). Ugh. 

The Sun will be trine Saturn as well, which gives us a commanding presence and a feeling of control over our own self so that we can do badass things in the world around us. 

However, it is just a day, so maybe just focus on small things like I do:  

• staying out of jail, 
• not saying everything I think, 
• not making faces while other people talk, etc.  ;)

#RealisticGoals #PracticalButStillCrazy #CapAquariusCusp #TheySayCuspsDoNotExist #HaveTheyMetMeTho

ARIES - This full moon can increase your self awareness and give you downloads of insight and clarity.  Your path and purpose can become a little clearer and more accessible. This is an opportunity for you to assess how you show up in the world. You will be able to see/feel what is no longer working for you and that’s what you want to release under this moon in order to clear the path forward.  Authenticity and comfort in your fleshsuit are the goals! 

TAURUS - A full moon in the 12th house, which is what you have going on this week, is a deep experience if you are tuned in. Things that you have buried or hidden from yourself can come up at this time. Sometimes it's a goal or project that you set aside for emotional reasons and your subconscious is asking you to revisit that issue. If you enjoy dreaming, pay attention to your dreams this week and next. Your subconscious mind, which absorbs everything, will not only be purging, but giving you clues on what you need to work on. You can’t really see into the subconscious, but it can communicate with you about what is gumming up the gears of progress.  

GEMINI - Honesty within friendship is key. This full moon may open a door for meaningful exchange of feelings with friend(s) or associate(s).  The 11th house also rules hopes and dreams for the future, so this moon might also illuminate your path forward in regard to closing in on those dreams. If you do any work with the public, you may receive some clarity about your mission/message.  Don’t back away from what you feel passionate or creative about, even if there are trolls trying to cramp your buzz. 

CANCER - If you work in the public eye or in social media, this week could be great in terms of attention focused on you. That’s only really a problem if you aren’t ready for attention to be on you.  This is not a time to hold back or play things safe. The full moon will illuminate what is in your way on your path of achievement and career.  It’s tempting to be small and avoid criticism,or attention, or failure, but that won’t really move you forward very much. Be a bold bitch!

LEO - The full moon falls in your 9th house, and that’s a spiritual placement. Your beliefs and philosophies about life and how you live it are lit up by this lunation. Your path forward can become clearer.  You may also realize around this time that you don’t believe some of the things you thought you did. Let that shit go! Declutter your belief system and your dreams for the future and focus on the adventures and experiences that are worth the work and effort. 

VIRGO - This moon is going to be a deep one for you, but it also has the potential to be incredibly healing and propel you forward.  This moon lights up your 8th house. This is like lighting up the closet or old storage unit where you’ve accumulated emotional baggage from intimate connections. This house also rules debt, taxes, and money that comes to you that you didn’t “earn” (at a job).  So this is a very good time to unpack those bags! Use this time to notice, acknowledge, and work through wounds around intimacy, money, or behaviors that hold you back.  

LIBRA - Your sign rules relationships and contractual partnerships like marriage. And it seems like that’s a big focus for you this whole year. And here it is again. This full moon lights up your 7th house, and will show you what needs to be leveled up in your relationships. Issues that come up now are ones you need to focus on, and as you do that, a portal develops that allows you to evolve within that partnership.  (This does also refer to employer relationships.) Let the light shine on the things that need work and don’t be shy about allowing things to change.

SCORPIO - I love a full moon in the 6th house. This is a great placement for purging and purification.  Release old habits that aren’t healthy. Release anything that hampers your healing process. You may become aware of some body issues that you need to take care of (i.e. just make the damn Dr. appt!) This house is also about work. Projects or plans you have been working on will be finishing up for better or worse around this time. Take time to breathe and replenish your energy.

SAGITTARIUS -  The 5th house is the house of creativity, fun, romantic sex, and courtship. Creative projects can be wrapping up or coming to fruition around this full moon.  Give credit where credit is due, especially if that is you. You may become aware of feeling like you’re missing something. It might be that you’re working too hard, or not hard enough.   We all need balance. You have to replenish the well. If you’ve been playing too hard, that will show up as well.  Listen to your inner child at this time and see what he/she is needing. 

CAPRICORN - Family issues and obligational detritus can float to the surface around this full moon which illuminates what’s going on in your 4th house.  You may be more aware of dysfunction and things that weigh you down.  Examine your roots and ancestral history and see what resonates with you.  This is a good time to release guilt, which you excel at.  What makes you feel secure and taken care of? That isn’t always the family of birth. Sometimes we have to do for ourselves what wasn’t done for us. Doing it without victim or martyr thinking is imperative. 

AQUARIUS - This moon in your 3rd house is likely to generate busy-ness for you.  Whatever your message is, people are listening. That may become more apparent during this time. Information and messages are almost guaranteed during this full moon, so pay attention. Secrets coming to light are possible. An issue with a sibling or a neighbor might pop up as well.  Use this moon to clear your planner. If you’ve taken on too much and you don’t have energy for growth, prune some branches.  

PISCES - Feelings and maybe fears around money, income, and assets are likely around this full moon. What exchanges of money energy make you feel oogie and which ones make you feel abundant. Pay attention to that. Use this moon to release old feelings and beliefs about money that hold you back.  This moon in your 2nd house can also help you see where the leaks and holes are, and give you clarity about exactly what you want to manifest.  Work on your budget and see about paying off some smaller bills, because it will really boost your overall vibe!
