This week we catch our breath. After twelve transits last week, we're working with four, highlighted by the New Moon in Libra at 17°, the Leo degree, on Saturday, October 10.Mercury joins Venus Retrograde at 8° Scorpio to open the week, bringing conscious awareness to where our most intimate relationships are lifting us or draining us. Mars in Leo Sextile Uranus in Gemini gives us the courage to acknowledge what we're afraid of and see things from a different perspective. Then on the same day as the New Moon, Venus Retrograde in Scorpio Squares Mars in Leo at 7°, the Libra degree, and the goddess of love and the god of war square off.Scorpio is where we get intimate. Libra comes first for a reason. Before we share a secret, our body, or our money with anyone, what do we want, and what are we willing to give? That's what this New Moon is asking us to get clear about.So what's at 17° in your astrological code?
