Astrology for Tuesday, 22 October 2019:

Today the Moon in Leo makes a sextile to Mars in Libra, an aspect that inspires bravery, taking action, and fighting for what we believe, for the kind of world that we want to live in. The steady fires of Leo are teaching us the values of allowing ourselves to be seen and loved in all of our blazing glory, and cooperative Libra is teaching us that we need not sacrifice who we know ourselves to be in order to be held in relationships, in community, in collectivity and collaboration. Themes of loyalty and commitment to connection may come up today as well. There may be challenges to face in our relationships as the Moon makes a square to Venus in Scorpio. Venus is currently in a journey through the dark waters of our emotional depths while the Moon insists on more courage, more visibility, more seeing and being seen. This aspect feels like that moment of looking into the eyes of a loved one as we feel into our own hidden places, when the question arises: do I dare to share even this? Can I trust this love to hold what I have not yet revealed? This is not an easy aspect, but what if building abiding trust requires us to swim deeper into our own selves and shine more brightly and brilliantly, offering whatever we find within us to be beheld?
