Astrology for Friday, 25 October 2019:

This is a full day for the Moon as it moves through Virgo. First the Moon will sextile Venus in Scorpio, a supportive reminder that whatever depths of feelings we are moving through in our relationships and our beliefs about our own lovability, making changes in what we do throughout our day-to-day practices is a necessary part of our healing journeys. The Moon then makes a trine to Pluto, further emphasizing the intense need for transformation that is in alignment with our well-being. In order to move with healing, we must be willing to transform our relationship to our bodies, our material realities, and the things we do to make and unmake our worlds. The Moon squares Jupiter in Sagittarius, and it may feel as if the world is asking for too much or that we are being challenged to be responsible for a world that is more expansive than the mundane rhythms of our tasks and to-do lists. The major aspect of the day is Venus in Scorpio making a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. Venus is the planet of love and pleasure, and Pluto is the planet of the underworld, the intense drive to transform what is buried beneath the surface. Pluto can be overwhelming, captivating, abducting even. In this supportive aspect, we are invited to surrender, to let go, to allow ourselves to be carried away by the intensities of our own desires and pleasures. This will no doubt require confronting our own shadows, our shame and hidden places. But what might be transformed if you could surrender to the possibility that all of you can be loved, every part of you deserves to feel deeply, and it is possible to feel beyond our own experiences of harm and trauma? As the Moon makes a sextile to Mercury, we may feel supported in speaking new truths, casting new spells for our own pleasures and capacities to love. Finally, the Moon ingresses into Libra. As we come through the intensity of this journey, we may find ourselves holding hands with those we trust—our collaborators, our companions, and our colleagues with whom we can both give and receive.
