ANTISCIA Oct/2011

Antiscia and contra-antiscia are symmetrical arrangements around the Cardinal axis, meaning they are expressed on the earthly plane. It is thought that when planets are contra-antiscia they make a more troublesome or difficult pair. Note: planets here that are contra-antiscia are marked with a (c). 

The month starts off with two major antiscion to Ceres. Perfect, for me, as I'm traveling in Greece for much of October, and Greece is Ceres' (or Demeter's) domain.

I expect to periodically download what the goddesses have to report - so check back later in the month!

lights, camera, action

A lot is happening on the Cardinal axis this week.

Sun|Uranus, exact today, brings excitement or upset. When the planet of liberation, reform, innovation, and change meets up with the Sun (a transiting timer for the day), one wonders what might be in store... What shocking news might come to our attention these couple of days?

Also occurring now is Mars|Neptune, which can be a fight for a great cause or failed plans. Will we see dissolution and downright destruction - or some radical changes taking place?

Let yourself be inspired to act.

The time is right to take a stand for something you believe in. 

TRANSFORM

Sun|Pluto are on the cardinal axis through Sunday night. They fall symmetrically around the 15 degree fixed sign of Scorpio. Take time this weekend to:

let go of what you no longer need

grow and develop something new

connect deeply to someone/something

recognize the power residing within you

Deep Thinking Mercury|Saturn

With Mercury antiscion Saturn, it is a good day for deep and serious thinking. Watch out for pessimism, or being overly critical or fault finding with others. Use the day instead for research. If there's something you find intriguing, follow a thread to find out more. Dig, probe, prod - uncover = discover.

Love is in the Air (sign that is)

The ingress of Venus into Libra today (7:40pm PDT) puts her directly on the Cardinal axis, and so in the world.

Situations and/or people might look more attractive for a spell. It may even seem easier to smooth things over with niceties, pleasantries, and pretty ideas. But it won't last long. Venus is in an applying opposition to Uranus, exact on Saturday, and an applying square to Pluto. All this week she'll be more and more agitated if things are not authentic. (Refer to my previous post if you'd like more keywords for Venus Uranus.)

Venus is indeed dignified in Libra, Venus likes to be in Liba. But her connection to Uranus and Pluto will likely strip her of any superficial comfort... If it's not real, it's not gonna last. 

This week Uranus and Pluto demand depth, genuineness, and totally honest interactions - even if brutally honest - they wouldn't have it any other way! 

And, yes, Pablo Picasso's Venus was in Libra.
