Moon in Cancer   ***

There appears to be some withdrawal into home or privacy. This is not just because the moon is in Cancer, sign of the home, but because of field placements as well. There is basic harmony, with Luna forming a grand trine with Neptune and the sun, in water signs. This is wonderful for psychic sensitivity and sympathetic vibrations with anyone you care about or even with strangers. Past lives are not to be excluded from your psychic consciousness, and neither are connections with the so-called dead. It is strange that Halloween, originally a sacred holiday for thinking about, praying for and even communing with the dead, has been turned into a monster mash. That is all right as comic relief, of course, but there should be more to the holiday than that, and the spiritual aspect of it continues through November 1, All Hallows.These are church holidays whose origin has not been researched by me so I am in the dark about that. That they occur in the sign Scorpio is of course significant. It is hard to believe that some of the early leaders in the church did not know astrology.

The tension many of us have been feeling continues, while Uranus remains at point focus of a yod-like configuration. On one side are a quincunx with Jupiter and two tri-septiles with Venus and Mars; on the other side, a sesqui-square (tri-octille) with Saturn. This is intense. There was a tragic signature of it in the nightclub fire in Romania where 27 were killed and many injured Friday. Fireworks were set off inside the club, a very stupid plan. Aries of course s a fire sign and Uranus there, retrograde, shows that we can make misuse of Arian-Uranian energies. Or we might make good use of them; let us hope that the President's intention to have more ground troops in Syria is smart rather than another mistake. It has the signature of the Uranus in Aries yod, since Aries is a military sign. The tri-septile with Mars, going on now, is dangerous; there was a septile between those two on 9/11/01 (and other dangerous septiles, but a chapter of a long book could be written on all that). 

I see that Marco Rubio is getting attention as possibly a winner in the Republican presidential sweepstakes. I hope not. I did not like him in either of the two debates. He sounds strident, arrogant, and angry, not qualities I want in the Commander in Chief.  But I see today that a prominent New York billionaire is now supporting him. So I looked up Rubio's chart and see that he has an exact square between Mars and Venus. This is not good. People I have known with it are always getting into fights, arguments, issues, lawsuits. One of them was constantly calling the police on people to the point that the police ignored her. Another found himself unpopular with his students as a professor and was threatened with a lawsuit by one of them, and fired for the consequences. Rubio would not be a peaceful president. He does have some strong natural dignities in his chart--Jupiter in his own sign Sagittarius and Venus in her own sign Taurus. In my view that is not enough to offset his issues, as evidenced more by his exceedingly intemperate speech than by his chart. 

A reader wrote yesterday asking me to consider how things will go for Paul Ryan who just assumed the mantle of Speaker of the House. I would like to look into that but did not get to it today. (The reader is a faithful one for years, and says she has known Ryan and his family.)

My saying that there is a "withdrawal into privacy" today does not mean that there cannot be Halloween parties. Perhaps they will be at home or in a homey place or, if outside, where one has been in the past so that it feels comfortable. Except for the Uranus situation (no fireworks please), most harsh aspects have been diminishing in the past week and that continues today, with the pleasant lunar aspects increasing in the evening when Luna begins to sextile Jupiter, Venus and Mars (visible together early in the morning these days). 

Happy Halloween!
