Pandora's Box

I am in Park City, Utah, at the OPA Retreat to teach Moon Mastery™ this week under the light of this Full Moon. This town is lovely; if you ever visit, New Park Resorts is a gorgeous property with excellent staff. My townhouse has a hot tub on the deck! Feels magical. My 5-week Transits Class for Kepler College begins on Oct 27; the class is limited to 35 participants; if you want to join, please don’t hesitate. Respond to this email with any questions.

I discussed the Full Moon on this week’s Celestial Insights podcast episode, The Lady in Red. Listen, subscribe, review, and share with other astrology lovers. Find your favorite podcatcher link here. The critical aspect is its exact conjunction with the dwarf planet Eris, the goddess of strife and discord. She rolled an apple into a party for three goddesses to debase themselves in a fight over who the fairest of them all was. Kamala Harris entered the lion’s den and held her own in a civilized battle with Bret Baier on Fox News. She did not lower herself to scoop up the apple; she relaxed into her chair while he leaned in, showing she was the alpha in the room.  It is called the green line theory of body language. Donald Trump talked to a female audience at a FOX Town Hall about picking up three apples and having to put one back due to inflation as a reason to vote for him.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was the architect of the October 7 attack. This agent of chaos is an Eris archetype. His actions initiated the horrific war and resulting humanitarian catastrophe for the people of Gaza. He was killed by the IDF today in Gaza as the Full Moon illuminated the 23° Aries descendant (DC) of Israel, which represents partners and open enemies. His hiding place was revealed. Astrology is literal. 

Aries's joyful, courageous, independent, and pioneering nature is contagiously hopeful. This feisty and fiery energy leads us to take risks and challenge ourselves. It is Kamala Harris’s natal Moon placement.  Some pundits were nervous about her choice to go on hostile Fox News so close to the election. She took the risk and triumphed. The low road energy can lead to impulsive actions, conflict, and violent interactions. The planet Mars, which governs vitality, sexuality, drive, aggression, and anger, rules this sign. Mars is currently in the sign of its fall. Cancer is approaching opposition to Pluto in Capricorn, the Lord of the Underworld. More storms and surprises are on the horizon. Intense actions stemming from subconscious emotional drives will be displayed over the next two weeks as we conclude eclipse season. Cancer rules the homeland, so nationalistic aggression will increase in the USA as we move toward the election. Lone wolves may be inspired by the rhetoric to become vigilantes. Pluto governs nuclear energy. Publicly, Biden told Israel not to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities. Please avoid pointless conflicts, especially with strangers; they are not worth it.

Yes, humanity is going through a painful transition, but please remember that HOPE was at the bottom of Pandora’s Box. Recent scientific breakthroughs could improve the health of lupus patients and coral reefs. Whenever tragedy strikes, people band together to provide resources and rescue the stranded. It’s the 50^th anniversary of women gaining the financial freedom to apply for a credit card or loan independently. Pluto in Aquarius is traditionally when female leadership rises; the planet reenters the sign for the next twenty years on November 19^th.  No matter the twists and turns coming up for us, Keep Hope Alive.

Use the prompts for journaling, oracle card guidance, or contemplation.

✨Examine your childhood. How was conflict handled between your parents or caretakers? Was it a healthy dynamic? How have you healed or replicated the patterns?

👀Aries rules the eyes. When was your last eye exam?

💪🏾 Consider courage. Practice boundary setting, calculated risk-taking, and speaking up.
