October 6th's New Moon in Libra coincides with Pluto's direct station, and both Sun and Mars / Ma'adim in Libra are inconjunct to Uranus / Oron in Taurus. This inconjunct is ruled by Venus/Noga, and we're going to have to count those Venusian traits – diplomacy, partnership, and harmony – to counteract the possibility of miscues and missteps. Venus enters freewheeling Sagittarius on October 7, thumbing her nose at any force trying to tie her down or restrict her need for independence.

The moribund turns to fast and forward motion within a week when Saturn / Shabbtai stations direct October 10, as does Jupiter / Tzedek and Mercury / Kochav on October 18. The Full Aries Moon October 20 inspires courage for the emotionally developed and prompts recklessness in the immature. The most potentially incendiary transit of the month is the square of Mars to Pluto October 22, hours before the Sun's ingress into Mars/Pluto-ruled Scorpio. This could be an epic power struggle between those trying to force their values on others without taking the time and effort to develop consensus or obtain consent. The consequences of poor impulse control and uninformed choices may echo all the way into 2022 and beyond.

Make Heshvan "ram" and not "mar" by tempering triggers, responding and not reacting, and thinking twice and then twice more before acting. Releasing expectations around what "should" be happening vs what is really going on dampens down anxiety and raises equanimity levels. Let it go!

ARIES / TALEH

"Intensity" is your key word for Heshvan, which begins with a discomforting inconjunct between Mars / Ma'adim and Uranus / Oron October 6. It's like you're talking to yourself but you're not listening! Sun and retrograde Mercury / Kochav conjunct Mars October 8-9; review and carefully consider all communications to ensure they're fair and balanced. Full Moon in Aries October 20 supports emotional courage and relationship risk-taking. Big red flags wave October 22 at the square of Mars to Pluto. Avoid burning bridges to prove how right you are! Mars enters Scorpio October 30, realigning and harmonizing your energy.

TAURUS / SHOR

Venus / Noga enters Sagittarius on October 7, stimulating a love of adventure and a powerful need for freedom. You're far more susceptible to impulsive decision-making now because of Uranus / Oron's long transit...
