Horoscope for the week beginning October 14
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
Full Moon in Aries is ever an exciting annual event. The fire element comes to a peak in Aries and it is best described as ignition fire. While adding some drive, Mars in Capricorn is especially emboldened by an applying conjunction with Pluto. The main theme while Mars applies to Pluto can be described as the process of deciphering the best strategy for new initiatives.
Saturn in Sagittarius brings its own exotic spice to the mix and gets added attention since it is positioned at the exact mid-point of the Lunar Nodes. The core theme here blends well with the above as the archer is called to determine the targets and take careful aim followed by swift release, as Legolas does.
Jupiter in Libra meanwhile reveals an electric blue excited by psychedelic swirls of earth tone colors. Although not exactly the depiction of seeking true justice via the usual, linear proceedings of courts of law, it better describes the mystical realities of karmic returns linked to our actions.
Venus in Scorpio deepens the overall mood with deliberate and captivating curves that excite the desires with mystery and allure. Hardly an innocent maiden, when in Scorpio’s lair fair Aphrodite emerges as a vampish vixen intent on getting her way by means of whatever method of seduction she deems suitable to succeed.
