Re.
These two letters, serving as a prefix, can come in quite handy over the next three weeks. If you put these letters in front of verbs that describe approaches to understanding and sharing insights—writing, editing, assessing, evaluating, etc.—it may very well help make this a period prominent in productivity and fulfillment.
The reason?
Monday Mercury goes Retrograde, the cycle it will be in through November 10. During Mercury retrograde, Re-ing activities can be a great strategy. For more on Mercury retrograde, see this article I crafted.
The first few days of the week the Moon is in inquisitive Gemini. It feels right to see this side, and then that side, of each situation. Flitting from this experience to that one, this conversation to that one, this idea to that one is where we may be naturally pulled.
The Sun spends it last day in Libra on Tuesday. As such, the first two days of the week provide us with opportunities to consider our relationships and how to infuse them with more harmony and pleasure. Reflect upon how you can get more from your current relationships and what patterns need to be shifted so that more joy and reward can be derived.
As the Sun moves from Libra to Scorpio, we begin to dive deeper. We find ourselves in the currents of the hidden, drawn towards understanding things not readily usually apparent. What’s under the surface has mystique, as if it offers a secret treasure that allows us a richer experience of what life is about. So, if you notice a shift from the middle ground to extremes, from making things equitable to making things provocative, you’re not alone. You’re connecting to the movement from Libra towards Scorpio.
Wednesday evening the Moon shifts to sensitive Cancer and with that we could find ourselves wanting to be at home. Even if we are away from our actual home, we may feel strongly that we need to do things to make our surroundings feel home-like as a way to bring us comfort and nurturance.
Thursday is the once-monthly connection of the Cancer Moon to the Uranus/Pluto square. We may feel the rush of powerful emotions, with the way through a potential sense of discomfort being the ability to let go and adopt a new emotional approach.
As the workweek approaches its close, we could find ourselves feeling as if we’re surrendering to a sense of something larger. We may perceive that not only is it easier to just “be here now” but it fills our sense of spirit in the most rewarding of ways. With the Sun making a harmonious trine to poetic Neptune, inspirations may readily arise as we’re pulled towards the ineffable beauty that whispers to us through art, romance, and matters of the heart and spirit.
The weekend features a Leo Moon, encouraging us to have courage. Consider where in your life you want to express a more robust sense of boldness. Approach your day from a place of childhood wonder, allowing your heart to roam free and feel exuberant and fully expressed.
