This is written for Eastern time zone with GMT in parenthesis.  Please adjust for your time zone. 

Back by popular demand!  The most important events in the sky this week:

  1. Ceres enters Scorpio on Monday the 12th.  For a few weeks our caretaking intensifies and there is more of an interest in caretaking through facilitating dramatic experiences.
  2. Also on Monday, Mars forms a harmonious sextile to Saturn.  This is a great day to get things done and organize your accomplishments.
  3. Jupiter turns direct on Tuesday after a long sojourn in reverse. It will catch up to Chiron and Neptune and reconnect for the healing dance.
  4. Also on Tuesday, Venus is sextile Mars - very nice aspect for balance in interpersonal relationships.
  5. Sun trines Chiron on Wednesday the 14th, shining healing energy all around.
  6. Venus enters Libra on Wednesday, enhancing our social lives and bringing our attention to the beauty that is all around us.
  7. Venus squares Pluto on the 15th - watch for power struggles and the green eye of jealousy and other dark emotions to surface.
  8. Mars enters Leo on Friday the 16th.  Desires are BIG for the next few weeks, and everyone wants something.
  9. New Moon in Libra on Sunday the 18th!  Big focus on relationships with the New Moon and Venus all in Libra, the sign ruled by Venus and all about love and balance.

Lynn,

Thank you. I'm very new to this venue and I have alot of questions. You say on Tuesday Jupiter turns direct, will catch up with Chiron for the healing dance. What does this mean and how will it affect a Libra?
Thanks again, Lynn

Hi, Lynn. I thought I'd add this for your readers. I also do a weekly forecast, but specifically attuned to small business matters.

On Thursday, Venus moves into a challenging relationship with Pluto in Capricorn. Venus rules money and Pluto rules the economy as a whole, including banking and taxes. This could go either way: something will probably come to light regarding your financial situation, but Pluto can uncover either treasures or losses, depending on what you’ve set in motion in the past. But don’t be afraid, because…

On Thursday we are protected by the Hindu celebration of Dhanteras. In the word Dhanteras, “Dhan” means wealth. During this celebration, the goddess Lakshmi, a very Venus-like goddess, is worshiped as the one who provides prosperity. In the business community, business people purchase gold and silver to keep in their safes, as precious metals are thought to attract good luck. So by remembering Lakshmi on this day we invite her blessings of wealth and prosperity into our lives and businesses.

Ellen, it's hard to say how the square of Venus to Pluto will go. Venus will be leaving Virgo for its own sign of Libra which is likely to create more ease in the markets. But once Pluto enters Libra and squares Pluto, there will definitely be tension.
