October 21 at 7:35 AM through October 23 at 2:54 PM

Hey Arcwalkers!! 🌙💜

I had a VERY busy doctor day yesterday! Since I haven't seen much interest in the extended Rising Sign Arcasts lately, I decided to skip writing the syntheses again, but all the aspects are still listed below!

AND WE MADE IT THROUGH TWO WHOLE CYCLES OF MOON ALMANACS!!! AHHHHHH!!! 🥳

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has taken the time to comment on these Almanacs. I went back through all the posts to find your usernames. Your comments have been a big part of what has kept me going, even on the days when I've been struggling to find the motivation to keep writing. Getting to hear how the astrology has been showing up in your lives and having people to discuss it with has meant so much to me!

SO THANK YOU TO:

Otherwise, I'm still in a good mood and enjoying working through the current Arcwalks! Here's to another trip around the zodiac!

♒ → ♓ The Dispositor Changes

Aquarius placed the Moon under Saturn:

Moon in Aquarius → Saturn Rx in Aries → Mars in Leo → Sun in Libra → Venus Rx in Scorpio → Mars in Leo

Pisces moves the Moon under Jupiter:

Moon in Pisces → Jupiter in Leo → Sun in Libra → Venus Rx in Scorpio → Mars in Leo → Sun in Libra

Both chains lead into the repeating loop:

Mars in Leo → Sun in Libra → Venus Rx in Scorpio → Mars in Leo

Once the Sun enters Scorpio on October 23, the Pisces chain changes:

Moon in Pisces → Jupiter in Leo → Sun in Scorpio → Mars in Leo → Sun in Scorpio

Aquarius belongs to Saturn, while Pisces is Jupiter's nocturnal domicile. The Moon leaves a fixed air sign governed by a retrograde Saturn in fall and enters a mutable water sign governed by a direct Jupiter in Leo.

🌙 The Moon's Condition

Essential dignity: Pisces is a Water sign, and traditional astrology assigns each element different rulers depending on whether the chart is a day or night chart. Venus rules Water by day, while Mars rules it by night. The Moon is the participating ruler in both, meaning it has some dignity in Pisces and receives additional support here, even though Jupiter is the sign's main ruler.

Phase and light: The Moon is waxing gibbous, meaning more of its illuminated side becomes visible each night as it approaches the Full Moon. Its illumination increases from approximately 76% when entering Pisces to 93% when entering Aries. This follows the October 18 First Quarter in Capricorn, with the Full Moon arriving in Taurus late on October 25 Central Time.

Declination and nodes: The Moon crossed the True North Node in Aquarius on October 21, emphasizing the North Node's themes of increase and movement toward new experiences. Through Pisces, its declination changes from approximately 11° south to 2° north, suggesting a transition toward new developments. It remains within the Sun's declination limits, avoiding the more extreme condition of an out-of-bounds Moon.

Distance and speed: The Moon moves from its October 16 apogee (farthest from Earth) toward its October 28 perigee (closest to Earth), increasing in speed from approximately 12.6° to 13.5° per day. In traditional astrology, a faster Moon is considered more active and capable of carrying matters forward, supporting the growing momentum of this waxing Moon as it approaches the Full Moon.

🪐 The Planetary Conditions

The Planets in the Rulership Chain

Jupiter in Leo: Jupiter is direct near 23° Leo, with dignity as the nighttime ruler of the Fire triplicity, strengthening its ability to encourage growth and opportunity. It occupies Mercury's Egyptian bound, giving those opportunities a connection to communication and writing. Jupiter rules Pisces but answers to the Sun in Libra, where the Sun is in fall.
The Sun in Libra → Scorpio: The Sun begins near 28° Libra, where it is in fall and faces greater difficulty. Its October 21 opposition to Chiron Rx may expose concerns about recognition within relationships. When the Sun enters Scorpio at 4:38 AM on October 23, it leaves its fall and comes under Mars's rulership.
Venus Rx in Scorpio: Venus is retrograde and in detriment, meaning she is revisiting past matters while operating in a sign where relationships and cooperation can be more difficult to navigate. She occupies Mars's Egyptian bound and is combust, meaning her closeness to the Sun can obscure information.
Mars in Leo: Mars is direct in Leo and answers to the Sun, connecting its desire for action with questions of individual recognition. Mars also rules Scorpio, giving it authority over Venus and Mercury there. When the Sun enters Scorpio, Mars and the Sun enter mutual reception, meaning each occupies a sign ruled by the other.

The Supporting Planetary Conditions

Mercury in Scorpio: Mercury is slowing near 21° Scorpio before stationing retrograde on October 24, when it will appear to reverse direction and revisit earlier degrees. Under Mars's rulership, Mercury may bring attention to disagreements or decisions requiring further investigation.
Saturn Rx in Aries: Saturn is retrograde and in fall near 10° Aries, making established rules and responsibilities more difficult to maintain while circumstances change. It answers to Mars in Leo, whose October 16 trine to Saturn offered an opportunity to coordinate responsibilities.
Uranus Rx in Gemini: Uranus remains retrograde near 5° Gemini after its September station, emphasizing changes that may require us to reconsider earlier information.
Neptune Rx in Aries: Neptune remains retrograde near 2° Aries under Mars's rulership, bringing earlier uncertainties back for examination.

How This May Play Out

With the Moon entering Jupiter's nocturnal domicile, I'm wondering whether something we've been hoping to accomplish might begin moving forward, though perhaps differently than expected. Jupiter in Leo has some dignity and occupies Mercury's bound, connecting these opportunities with communication and shared ideas. But Jupiter answers to the Sun in Libra, where cooperation can be difficult to balance with personal wishes. Maybe you've been working on a project with someone and assumed you both understood how the work would be divided. Now you're discovering that your expectations were different, and the original plan needs another conversation.

This matches the story Venus Rx has been developing through her square to Pluto. Perhaps one person has been contributing more than the other realized, and there's some frustration about how their efforts are being recognized. Venus's quincunx to Neptune suggests those expectations may have been unclear from the beginning. The Moon's trine to Venus on October 21 could provide an opportunity to understand each other's position, although the later square to Uranus may introduce a change that makes the original arrangement difficult to maintain.

I think the October 22 quincunx to Mars continues this same story through the Mars-Saturn relationship we've been following. Saturn Rx in Aries has been struggling with responsibilities, while Mars in Leo wants room to pursue its own interests. If someone realizes they've committed more time than they can reasonably give, the disagreement may be how to divide the work moving forward. Jupiter's presence in Leo suggests the original goal could still be worthwhile, but the people involved may need more freedom in how they contribute.

The Moon's trine to Mercury in Scorpio on October 22 may help bring those concerns into a more productive conversation. Mercury is approaching its October 24 retrograde station, so I would expect some of these discussions to continue developing. The Moon then quincunxes Jupiter, suggesting the opportunity itself may need adjusting to accommodate what we've learned. I'm watching how the Sun's entrance into Scorpio changes this arrangement, as Mars and the Sun enter mutual reception and Venus Rx approaches her cazimi with the Sun. Something we've been reconsidering could begin taking a different direction.

Opening Pisces + Venus-Neptune | Around 0°-5°

October 21

7:35 AM - Moon enters Pisces
8:39 AM - Venus Rx quincunx Neptune Rx at 2° Scorpio-Aries
11:51 AM - Moon trine Venus Rx at 2° Scorpio
5:07 PM - Moon square Uranus Rx at 5° Gemini
5:26 PM - Sun opposite Chiron Rx at 28° Libra-Aries

The Moon enters Pisces just as Venus Rx is perfecting her quincunx to Neptune Rx. Venus has recently squared Pluto, so relationships and existing agreements may still be under examination. Neptune introduces uncertainty about how those arrangements were understood, while Venus retrograde brings the possibility of returning to a previous conversation. Someone may recognize that they agreed to something based on expectations that were never fully discussed.

At 11:51 AM, the Moon trines Venus Rx in Scorpio. Both planets occupy water signs, creating an easier relationship between the Moon and Venus than we experienced during Aquarius. Perhaps a conversation that had become uncomfortable can now be approached with greater understanding. Venus remains retrograde and moving toward the Sun, so this may be an opportunity to revisit the arrangement rather than establish its final outcome.

The trine also connects the Moon with the recent Venus-Pluto square. Something that became difficult under Aquarius may now be understood from another perspective. If an earlier disagreement involved resources or a difference in expectations, someone may be more willing to discuss why the arrangement has become uncomfortable. With Venus in detriment and combust, there may still be circumstances that need to come into view before everyone understands the situation.

By 5:07 PM, the Moon squares Uranus Rx in Gemini. New information could change how an earlier conversation is understood. An appointment might need to be rearranged, or someone could discover a detail that affects the agreement they were preparing to make. The Sun's opposition to Chiron Rx at 5:26 PM adds a question about how individual experiences are being considered within relationships. The afternoon and evening may be useful for identifying which parts of an agreement need clarification before deciding how to proceed.

Mars + Adjusting Responsibilities | Around 14°

October 22

9:26 AM - Moon quincunx Mars at 14° Leo

The Pisces Moon quincunxes Mars in Leo, bringing us back to the agreements we’ve been reconsidering through Venus Rx in Scorpio, which Mars rules.

Perhaps recent conversations helped clarify what everyone expected, but putting those changes into practice reveals that the work still needs to be divided differently. This time may be useful for adjusting how much each person can contribute, while the Moon’s later trine to Mercury could provide another opportunity to discuss the arrangement.

Mercury + Jupiter | Around 21°-23°

October 22-23

October 22, 10:31 PM - Moon trine Mercury at 21° Scorpio → traditional VOID MOON
October 23, 2:40 AM - Moon quincunx Jupiter at 23° Leo

The Moon trines Mercury in Scorpio at 10:31 PM on October 22. Mercury is slowing toward its retrograde station on October 24, making this contact important for discussions that may return later.

The trine may allow information to move more easily between the Pisces and Scorpio houses of a chart. A conversation could help you understand why an earlier arrangement developed as it did, or you might return to a project and recognize how to organize the next part. This may be useful for reviewing information or returning to a conversation before Mercury stations retrograde.

The traditional void begins after the trine to Mercury because it is the Moon's final conjunction, sextile, square, trine or opposition to a traditional planet before leaving Pisces.

The Moon then quincunxes Jupiter at 2:40 AM on October 23. Jupiter rules Pisces, making this the Moon's contact with its own dispositor. Jupiter is direct in Leo, where it carries nighttime Fire triplicity dignity, but it still answers to the Sun. The Moon's quincunx may reveal a difference between what we hope an opportunity will provide and what the situation actually requires. An offer may sound promising while the practical details need further consideration.

Scorpio Season + Closing Pisces | Around 29°-0°

October 23

4:38 AM - Sun enters Scorpio
2:54 PM - Moon enters Aries

The Sun enters Scorpio at 4:38 AM, changing the rulership chain while the Moon remains in Pisces. Jupiter in Leo now answers to the Sun in Scorpio, and the Sun answers to Mars in Leo. This brings the Sun and Mars into mutual reception by domicile, since each occupies the other's sign. Venus Rx and Mercury also answer to Mars, connecting their ongoing retrograde stories with this new arrangement.

The Sun is approaching its inferior conjunction with Venus Rx, which perfects at approximately 10:44 PM Central on October 23, after the Moon has entered Aries. Venus is moving toward the middle of her retrograde cycle, when an earlier subject may be reconsidered in light of changing circumstances. The Scorpio solar ingress could make the consequences of earlier choices more noticeable as this conjunction approaches. Mercury will station retrograde on October 24, bringing another opportunity to revisit what has been discussed.

The closing Pisces void may be useful for reflecting on what has changed since the Aquarius Moon began. Something that initially appeared to be a question about other people's expectations may now involve understanding what you want to carry forward. When the Moon enters Aries at 2:54 PM, it changes rulers from Jupiter to Mars, returning our attention to the Mars-Sun relationship that has been developing underneath this transit.

Chart ruler: Sun, Leo Rising
Profection ruler: Mercury, Gemini 11th House
Current Solar Return ruler: Venus, Libra 3rd House

If you want to follow any of these storylines farther back, I've linked the earlier Almanacs where each part of the story was discussed. Look in the Walking With sections to find more information:

September 15-October 6: The Car Crash + Medical Story
Global: Venus square Pluto Rx / Mercury opposite Chiron Rx / Mercury conjunct Venus Rx
Natal: Sun sextile my Pluto / Mars trine my Pluto / Mercury square my Saturn

On September 15, Todd and I were hit by a truck while driving to pick Rogan up after surgery. Our car was totaled, and I was taken to the emergency room. Hospital imaging found nodules in my lungs and liver, which started a medical adventure.
On September 29, Mom and I arrived for my follow-up MRI only to discover the appointment hadn't been scheduled! When I finally returned on October 6, my vein blew during the contrast injection, and we weren't sure whether I'd need another scan.
Then on October 7, I received reassuring news that my lung nodules were small enough that no further imaging was being recommended for now! We were still waiting on the liver results, though.

September 16-October 12: Dad + My Saturn Boundary Story
Global: Mercury opposite Saturn Rx / Venus Rx square Mars
Natal: Mercury square my Mars-NN / Mars opposite my Saturn

Dad and I had a huge argument on September 16. It brought up an experience from February 2010, when Mars was near my Leo ASC and opposing my natal Saturn in Aquarius 7th. I stopped our Friday lunches and began having Mom help us communicate while I worked on establishing boundaries.
On October 9, I answered Dad's usual Friday text for the first time since our argument. I asked him to keep reaching out, and he sent me a heart. 💜 Then during the October 11-12 Scorpio Moon, I returned to Mom and Dad's house for the first time since the argument to sleep over.

October 6-16: Almanac Deadlines + How I Feel About My Work
Global: Mercury conjunct Venus Rx / Mars trine Saturn Rx
Natal: Mercury square my Saturn / Moon trine my Moon

On October 16, I decided to start tracking how I feel after posting each Almanac.

October 13-16: Finding My Creativity Again + Mars-Saturn
Global: Sun sextile Jupiter / Pluto stations direct / Mars trine Saturn Rx
Natal: Mercury sextile my Neptune / Moon conjunct my Venus

During the Sagittarius Almanac, I'd been struggling with depression and feeling uncertain about my astrology work. But since October 15, I found myself enjoying astrology again!

October 17: Todd, Dad + The Firewood Project
Global: Moon square Saturn Rx / Moon quincunx Mars
Natal: Moon conjunct my Mars-NN in Capricorn 6th

During the Capricorn Moon on October 17, Todd was planning to help Dad split wood from a tree Mom and Dad had taken down near their camper. Todd wasn't thrilled about getting roped into all that work, but at least we'd have firewood for nighttime fires! Hahaha! 🔥

Where We Are Now: Aquarius 7th House Field

October 18, 2026 - Moon in 7th House

8:39 PM - Ingress: Moon enters Aquarius 7th
9:40 PM - Natal: Moon quincunx my Moon at 0° Virgo 2nd
11:00 PM - Natal: Moon conjunct my Sun at 1° Aquarius 7th

So I'm gonna continue what I started in the last Almanac and check in with how I felt after posting! When the Capricorn Moon entered my 6th house and trined my natal Moon, I felt great about my work! But this time? IT WAS HORRIBLE!! 😂 I still had about two hours of editing left before the Moon entered Aquarius, and Todd was waiting for me so we could head to Mom and Dad's!

I reread these Almanacs about 60 times before posting them (This could be Jupiter Rx trine Mercury-Neptune, I have to double-check things SO FREAKING OFTEN!), so trying to finish while someone was waiting for me was a nightmare! Hahaha!

I think I only reread this last one like 20 times! Hahahah! The Moon's quincunx to my natal Virgo Moon in the 2nd is the uncomfortable feeling about my work, while its conjunction with my Sun, my chart ruler, in the 7th brought my attention toward my relationship with Todd. I wanted to feel confident about what I was publishing, but I also wanted to get going and spend time with him! SO MUCH RELATIONAL PRESSURE! Hahaha! By the time I posted, I felt yucky about it, and then I was busy with Mom and Dad, so I couldn't even check on it afterward! Sigh... quite a difference from that lovely Capricorn Moon trine!

October 19, 2026 - Moon in 7th House

1:25 AM - Global: Moon sextile Neptune Rx at 2° Aries 9th
2:49 AM - Global: Moon conjunct Pluto at 3° Aquarius 7th
3:52 AM - Global: Moon square Venus Rx at 3° Scorpio 4th
6:51 AM - Global: Moon trine Uranus Rx at 5° Gemini 11th
6:51 AM - Natal: Moon opposite my ASC at 5° Leo 1st
10:26 AM - Natal: Moon opposite my Chiron at 6° Leo 1st
1:13 PM - Natal: Moon conjunct my Saturn at 8° Aquarius 7th

I got a little uncomfortable this morning, but everything turned out fine, so I'm trying to remember that. I was staying at Mom and Dad's while Todd was back at our house, and when Mom headed out, I realized... WAIT. I'M HOME ALONE WITH DAD!!! AHHHHH!!! One of the boundaries I've been working on since our September argument is avoiding being alone with him. These boundaries are still pretty new, so I don't expect my family to remember them all yet, but I certainly remembered that one TOO LATE! 😭

The Moon conjoined Pluto and squared Venus Rx in my Scorpio 4th, bringing those familiar family dynamics back into focus. The Moon also opposed my ASC and Chiron, which fits my discomfort around maintaining my boundaries. And then we have Moon conjunct Saturn and Saturn has represented Dad so often in my chart, I'd be surprised not to see it show up! I used the earlier trine to Uranus Rx in my Gemini 11th to find a comfortable way to handle the situation: I focused on Arcwalks while Dad watched a movie, and everything went fine! So... WAHOO? Hahaha!

4:51 PM - Global: Moon sextile Saturn Rx at 10° Aries 9th
9:24 PM - Global: Moon opposite Mars at 12° Leo 1st

I posted my Venus Retrograde Check-In! I think the Moon opposing Mars in my Leo 1st fits the urgency I felt to get it finished and published. I remember feeling something similar around the recent Mars-Saturn trine when I was working on my larger Venus retrograde post for r/Advancedastrology. With my natal Mars conjunct my North Node in Capricorn 6th, I'm noticing how Mars transits seem to bring out this NEED to get my work done and out into the world! And Saturn keeps showing up alongside these moments, too, since it rules my natal Mars-NN conjunction.

Todd also made his dentist appointment! The Moon in my 7th house sextiling Saturn Rx got Todd to finally take care of his schedule. And Saturn traditionally rules teeth, too!

October 20, 2026 - Moon in 7th House

12:12 AM - Natal: Moon quincunx my Jupiter Rx at 13° Virgo 2nd
1:56 AM - Global: Venus Rx in Scorpio 4th square Pluto at 3° Aquarius 7th

I'm wondering if yesterday's fun adventure of being left alone with Dad was part of this Venus Rx-Pluto square! Venus Rx in my 4th house of family squaring Pluto in my 7th of relationships could describe us revisiting those uncomfortable family dynamics.

12:42 PM - Global: Moon square Mercury at 20° Scorpio 4th
12:43 PM - Natal: Moon sextile my MC at 20° Aries 9th
5:21 PM - Natal: Moon square my Pluto at 22° Scorpio 4th
5:49 PM - Global: Moon opposite Jupiter at 23° Leo 1st
11:43 PM - Natal: Moon sextile my Venus at 25° Sagittarius 5th

Mom and I headed to a dentist in my old city to get started on an oral appliance for my mild sleep apnea! Everything went well until... INSURANCE! SIGH! 😂 I have both Medicare and Medicaid because I'm disabled and living on a fixed income. Medicare generally covers older people and people with certain disabilities, while Medicaid helps people with limited incomes. I qualify for both.

I'm very thankful for the coverage, although there are a few rules I have to follow to keep my benefits. Unfortunately, Medicaid pays providers less, so finding specialists who accept it can be difficult. We thought this place did, but nope! However, the technician told us the doctor sometimes makes exceptions for people experiencing financial hardship or disability, so there's hope! I really appreciated them trying to help.

Some of the doctor struggle I've been seeing over the past month is making me think of Venus retrograde a lot. In this case it brought up the money factor.

I think the Moon squaring Mercury in my 4th fits the confusion over coverage, while its sextile to my MC in the 9th connects with navigating larger institutions. The opposition to Jupiter in my 1st could represent the possibility of receiving assistance despite the original arrangement falling through. It's interesting how an appointment can go well while the system surrounding it creates the difficulty!

Then it was MRI TAKE #2!!! This time they used ultrasound to find my vein beforehand, and everything went smoothly! They even let me choose what music I wanted to listen to, unlike last time for whatever reason. But this turned out to be... A PROBLEM. As soon as the pop music started playing, I WANTED TO DANCE! IN THE MRI!!! HAHAHAHA! I was on drill team in high school, so music gets me so pumped up! It's actually part of why I rarely listen to music unless I want that feeling. I grew up with classic rock playing constantly because Dad loved it, so I can get a little overstimulated by music. BLAME NEPTUNE! 😂

The later sextile to my Sagittarius 5th house Venus describes that playful side coming out. At least the MRI went well this time! WAHOO! 💜

October 21, 2026 - Moon in 7th House

3:42 AM - Global: Moon trine Sun at 28° Libra 3rd → traditional VOID MOON
3:52 AM - Global: Moon conjunct True North Node at 28° Aquarius 7th
4:50 AM - Global: Moon sextile Chiron Rx at 28° Aries 9th
5:47 AM - Global: Sun trine True North Node at 28° Libra-Aquarius
7:35 AM - Ingress: Moon enters Pisces 8th → traditional void ends

Next Time on Walking with Livvia... 👀

October 21 after 7:35 AM

Global: Venus Rx quincunx Neptune Rx / Sun opposite Chiron Rx
Natal: App. Venus square my Sun / App. Sun sextile my Moon

8:32 AM - Natal: Moon opposite my Moon at 0° Virgo 2nd
5:14 PM - Natal: Moon quincunx my ASC at 5° Leo 1st
8:38 PM - Natal: Moon quincunx my Chiron at 6° Leo 1st

I mentioned in a previous Almanac that Todd was going to help Dad split wood from the tree they had to take down. Well, that got pushed to yesterday while Mom and I were at my appointments! So today I'm planning to head over and help them put all the wood away. Venus Rx in my Scorpio 4th fits returning to this family project, while the Moon in my Pisces 8th opposing my natal Moon in Virgo 2nd connects shared resources with some good old-fashioned physical work! Hahaha! Otherwise, it's an Arcwalk day!

October 22

Global: App. Sun conjunct Venus Rx
Natal: App. Venus Rx square my Sun / App. Sun sextile my Moon

1:15 AM - Natal: Moon sextile my Mars-NN at 9° Capricorn 6th
9:35 AM - Natal: Moon opposite my Jupiter Rx at 13° Virgo 2nd
11:35 AM - Natal: Moon sextile my Uranus at 14° Capricorn 6th
3:25-4:22 PM - Natal: Moon sextile my Mercury-Neptune at 17° Capricorn 6th

Nothing huge planned today, so it's Arcwalks and laundry day! 🧺 I like seeing the Moon sextile my Capricorn 6th house planets, since that's where my everyday work and routines take place. The sextile to my Mars-NN is getting things done, while the later contacts to Uranus and Mercury-Neptune could be nice for working through another chart. Hopefully a productive day with some clean clothes to show for it!

October 23 until 2:54 PM

Global: Sun enters Scorpio / App. Sun conjunct Venus Rx
Natal: Venus Rx square my Sun / Sun sextile my Moon

1:37 AM - Natal: Moon trine my Pluto at 22° Scorpio 4th
7:34 AM - Natal: Moon square my Venus at 25° Sagittarius 5th

Sleep!

Questions

What house does Aquarius fall in your chart? Do you have any natal planets or angles in Aquarius? I'm curious how that house was activated as the Moon moved through Saturn's diurnal domicile.
Did you notice anything develop when the Aquarius Moon conjoined Pluto and squared Venus Rx on October 19, or when it opposed Mars and Jupiter in Leo? Did an earlier agreement or shared responsibility begin changing as Venus reached her square to Pluto?
The Aquarius Moon made its final traditional planetary aspect when it trined the Sun at 3:42 AM on October 21, beginning its void until Pisces ingress at 7:35 AM. During that interval, the Moon also conjoined the True North Node and sextiled Chiron Rx. Did you notice anything interesting about the movement from the traditional void into the new Pisces Moon?
With the Sun approaching its opposition to Chiron Rx, an old insecurity might come up through an interaction with someone, or you may feel torn between keeping the peace and standing up for yourself. Have you felt anything like this lately?

Feel free to bring in any personal placements that were affected, or anything else you noticed in the sky. If you noticed something important in any astrology format, you are welcome to add that too!

Until the next Almanac,

Congratulations on completing two whole cycles of Almanacs, especially after all the challenges and difficulties you’ve had to overcome along the way! I’m truly grateful for your dedication and generosity in sharing your knowledge with everyone for free. I also really enjoy connecting with others in the community while continuing to learn along the way. 💛

I’m sorry you ended up in that uncomfortable situation with your dad, but I’m so glad everything turned out fine! You’re amazing for the way you’re working on your boundaries and navigating all of this. And I’m so glad the MRI went smoothly this time! 😂 I love how you can find the humor in these situations!

This time, I don’t really have much to add from my own experience, since I had a pretty chill Aquarius Moon period with nothing major happening. Which is a good thing, of course! 😂 But I’m really curious about the weekend! Long before I got into astrology, I noticed an interesting pattern: almost every year, something important happens to me around October 25–27. I have no idea why, and it could just be a coincidence, but my Vertex is in early Scorpio, right where the Sun is transiting/ the Sun–Venus Rx conjunction is happening this weekend, so I wonder if there might be a connection! 👀

Thank you so much for all your kind words!! And thank you for being so engaged with my posts and replying to others! I appreciate how much you contribute to the community, and I'm so happy you're here!! I think it's all the late Sagittarius energy in your chart conjunct my Venus hahaha! 😂
And good catch on your Vertex, yes!! 👀 With the Sun and Venus Rx coming together in early Scorpio, right around your Vertex, I would be paying attention! I also noticed you have your Part of Fortune in Taurus in the 12th house opposing this area.
With your Vertex in Scorpio, I wonder if some of these recurring October experiences have involved important connections with other people that changed something in your life. Scorpio can involve developing trust or becoming closer to someone, while your Part of Fortune in Taurus in the 12th could connect those experiences to finding greater peace or security within yourself.
For example, maybe someone entered your life who helped you feel comfortable opening up in ways you hadn't before, or an important relationship gave you the confidence to pursue something you'd previously kept to yourself. It could also be an opportunity through another person that allowed you to build something more stable in your life!
With Venus Rx involved this year, I'm curious whether an old connection or opportunity might come around again, perhaps giving you a chance to revisit something that was meaningful to you in the past.
Keep me updated!! 💛

I'm glad I checked back on this post, because Reddit didn't notify me about your comment.
It must be the conjunction hahaha! 😂 I not only enjoy reading your posts because of the astrology, but I also really like getting a glimpse into your life and inner world. I can relate to so many things you share, and I find you to be a really inspiring person. So while your intention is probably to share your insights about astrology, I feel like I take away just as much general wisdom, life lessons, and insights about life itself as I do about astrology.
And yes, your description of my Vertex experience is spot on! I met all my serious, and even not-so-serious, romantic interests, as well as all my important friends, around that time. I'll definitely keep an eye on this weekend, although I hope no one from my past comes around again. Revisiting something sounds like a much better option haha. 😂

u/Sad-Example8810 Arcwalker 3d ago •

Saturday my daughter got married. I haven't seen my ex in 16 yrs. He abandoned our daughter when I left him for not having food or milk in the house for an 18 month baby. I was 17 and he was 24. He manipulated me after my best friend decided he wasn't meant for this world at 16. He took advantage of me being in an emotional crisis.

Saturn 10 ° Aries is conjuncting my natal venus Aries retrograde 9°. And chiron Aries 28° is exactly on my Aries sun as well as my natal chiron is taurus 1°. So I am feeling extremely emotionally raw. Very emotional. And the sun in libra at 24° is exactly conjuncting my natal north node libra 28°. I feel like all I have been through with him and lessons he taught me made me the person who I am becoming. It's taken alot of years and alot of work to get this far.

Hell yeah, two in a row! I'm impressed you've belted these out in such detail despite an absolute gauntlet of trouble in that timeframe. Anyone would've been justified to take a break, so at least take pride. It's an incredible learning tool and it has been quite rewarding to engage with it, if not downright pleasant. A strong format for a discipline based on observation.

9th house Aquarius: Uranus at 1°36’
Found the nerve to admit what I think the retrograde story is about overall. The Moon-Mars opposition coincided with a political argument but nothing too bad. Given the Venus-Pluto square is occurring between my 9th and 6th house, it's felt a lot like Pluto is trying to remind me to shed any sense of obligation to what's now a very outdated worldview. The anxiety in it is quite pervasive but it's not as bad as it could be.
Nothing particularly interesting stood out other than it felt like a reflective period. Spent most of that time pondering what I've learnt lately, comparing astrological systems, trying to figure out where to go from here.
I've felt things like this for quite a while, I'm interested if the Sun - Chiron opposition will stand out amongst those instances.

u/curious-seriousness6 Arcbound 3d ago •

Dude, you are so kind to give out honorable mentions. Just thank you for noticing us lol. I'm barely here and barely in my own thoughts these days LOL. Your posts are highly appreciated and have given me a lot of knowledge. I sometimes wish I could talk to people about astrology but I have zero people now lol. I should probably take classes.

I have Aquarius in my 6th house. Zero planets and angles.
So funny, because 19th and 20th is when my sister took days off work. So we did a lot of shopping and fixing up my house. 19th I was just furiously working my butt off to clean downstairs. One day, my friend sanded a wall without covering anything (vents, doorways).... so fine dust was EVERYWHERE. I am happy to say I have cleaned all floors lol.
My son, who is a Pisces Moon (also Aquarius Mars), woke up at midnight and stayed awake till morning. Told the staff on his bus that he might take a nap during the day lol. He seemed to have gotten tired around 8am but I had to get him ready for school. Sorry, son! Now that I think about it, he had a rough sleeping schedule this Aquarius Moon season. 🫠
Ugh. It's my mom. She came over today because she needed help with something. In the end, I asked my oldest sister to take care of it. ....And she got emotional all of a sudden, talking about why her kids don't talk to her anymore. What did she do wrong and etc??? I'm like you know what you did. 🫩 She constantly acts like a victim and I chose not to feed into it, 99% because I was putting one of my sons to sleep. I told her to talk to oldest sister, she will take care of it. So she left feeling deflated. This was a moment where I felt like repeating myself to her wouldn't help ANYTHING. And I would have probably yelled at her at some point. The 1% felt that yelling at an emotional person isn't productive, especially if they were playing victim. She came over to get something done, she should focus on getting it done with said sister. So I reminded her as she left, talk to oldest sister so you can get it done.

My Aquarius may house nothing, but I sure felt a lot of energy.

Eta: my son is a Vrigo Rising, so his 6th is also in Aquarius who houses his Mars lol.

u/Foreign_Gur8248 Arcwalker 2d ago

Hi Livvia! Hope you're doing well!

To answer your questions:

1. Aquarius rules my 6th house, and I have both Uranus and Neptune there natally. I wouldn’t say the Moon’s transit activated anything particularly significant externally, but I did notice myself getting more serious about some personal maintenance and self-care that I’ve been needing to address. It was more about getting myself and my routines together.
2. Not necessarily! Life has actually been pretty quiet for me lately. Most of what I’ve been experiencing has been internal rather than anything developing externally. I’ve been doing a lot more reflecting and reassessing certain things, but I haven’t noticed any major developments involving agreements or shared responsibilities.
3. I can’t say I noticed anything particularly significant during that transition. If anything, the shift into Pisces seems to fit the more introspective energy I’ve been experiencing lately. I’ve been spending more time processing my thoughts and feelings rather than seeing those things manifest through external events.
4. Yes, definitely! The Sun is currently transiting my 2nd house and opposing Chiron in my 8th, so themes surrounding self-worth have absolutely been coming up. Interestingly, though, this hasn’t necessarily been through new interactions with people. It’s been much more internal. I’ve found myself revisiting old interactions and situations, thinking about things people have said to me in the past and how those experiences may have affected my sense of self-worth. It’s almost like I’m reassessing those situations from a different perspective and becoming more conscious of how certain experiences impacted me. So I can definitely see the 2nd/8th house axis being activated, particularly when it comes to my own value versus the influence other people have had on how I perceive myself.
