It’s time to work our compost, rake the leaves, clear out the detritus from last year’s flowers. Chew on our research until it turns into a paper. Dig out the old memories of pain, ache, frustration, of time alone to find the succulent roots of our strength in challenges overcome, and share that nourishing strength with someone who needs support. Get the yard and soul’s garden ready for winter as Mercury in Scorpio and sextile Pluto turns the mind inwards to digest.

We need room to think. Sometimes companionable silence is best as the Sun joins Mercury, Mars and Venus retrograde in focused Scorpio. We may have more curiosity but less interest in small talk, and choose to speak to less people but go deeper with each one. Scorpio likes to focus, so we can overload if we juggle too much at one time; it helps to keep life simple and take on one thing at a time, one conversation at a time. If we want to be heard, we have to choose our timing carefully to make sure our audience can listen. So many people are walking around with an inward look; while they are apparently available, if they were a taxi, the light on top would say ”occupied”.

Scorpio broods, so we have to be careful where we put this focus. Some old splinters, old relationships or relationship patterns can eat away at us until we just have to say something, but it may not be productive. In present relationships, the tendency will be to lean way in or way out, to obsess on our beloved or withdraw into ourselves; both patterns of connection or individuation are fine, just hard on any couple when they’re out of rhythm.

But this deeper work is upstaged first by today’s wild Full Moon in Aries which brings our energy up but call also bring out a self-centered streak. It’s not that we don’t value our relationships, but at the moment we need to respond to our own inner voices first. Aries wants to instigate, but will it be a business plan or a rumble.

After the Full Moon we need to recharge under an earthy, tasty Taurus Moon. The material world needs our attention, so let’s tend to the stuff of the world and feed the senses with fall tastes, touches and smells.

daily codes to follow.
