Sorry for the delay in posting ~ SUDDENLY IT WAS MONDAY!

We started our 100 Days of Over the TOP Scorpio Passion last week on Wednesday. Did you feel the shift of energies into a more intense form of passion and desire as Venus changed signs? The shift of energy amps up and heightens even more this week when Mars moves into Scorpio as Pluto and Mercury move direct while Jupiter and Uranus meet for their second of three unions. More about those guys later. First we are going to focus on our 100 Days of Over the TOP Scorpio Passion and our upcoming journey of Venus through the sign of Scorpio! Back to our lady in the sky who is channeling her inner Tina Turner or Cher. Cher appeared on the MTV Video Awards show last night so let’s start with Venus’s theme song for the week:

This Is A Song For The Lonely"

When you're standing on the edge of nowhere
There's only one way up
So your heart's got to go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When hero's fall, in love or war
They live forever

This is a song - for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song - for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer?
'Cause someone's there for you

Well, love don't need a reason
She can pick you up
Or leave you bleeding
I've seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believing

So let it find you
Wherever you may go
I'm right beside you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more, oh no

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

This is a song
A song for the lonely
And that's not you only
Through the darkest night
You're gonna see the light

Love don't need a reason
Just to leave you bleeding
Can you hear this prayer?
Someone's there

Venus in Scorpio is all about the passion!! No nicey nicey frou frou girly girl when Venus finds herself in Scorpio, she‘s interested in digging into the muck and mud of passions, depths, intimacy and desires. She seeks the depths regardless of cost. If she doesn’t seek the depths, she can become paranoid and depressed.

Passion can have a dark side you know. And, truth be told, sex is a messy, juice and fluid producing, oozing, spurting, merging process of various body parts where body fluids get exchanged when you get right down to it. How Scorpio of Venus! Venus in Scorpio wants to bond on the soul level as well as on the physical one. We take trips to the underworld when Venus is in Scorpio. And truth be told, we LIKE to take trips to the underworld!

So all of us, for the next few months, will have an honorary Venus in Scorpio as she travels in through the sky in the sign of Scorpio until January 7th 2011. Expect bursts of passions, heart felt desires and on a bad day, stalking behavior, appearing seemingly out of nowhere, erupting from the depths of your or their souls. Expect folks to want to use the Scorpio Venusian passion energy for pursuing their desires, even if it involves a bit of manipulation or paranoia. Expect people to want to deeply merge or transform their desires as the cardinal cross starts to separate.

So 100 days of over the TOP passion from Venus in Scorpio awaits us! Get ready. It is going to be fun, fun, fun ~ when it isn’t intense, intense, intense.

In the months ahead, Venus will move up to 13:14 Scorpio, station on October 8 and move back to 27:40 Libra revising the desire story we’ve been emotionally processing and figuring out since September 5th, 2010.

Now, if you remember, we’ve also had Mercury going retrograde asking us to be crystal clear about what we want as Venus entered her shadow. Mercury retrograde was getting us to clarify our dream. Now Venus is adding some oomph of passion to it.

In the week ahead, Pluto stations to go direct, reversing his retrograde position since April 6, 2010 when he stopped forward motion. Pluto will take us back to December 18, 2009 when he passed the point of his current station. So the triangle story from December is active and the situation that stopped evolving in April kicks off.

Pay very strong attention to information you received from last Friday, September 10 to this Thursday, September 16. Mercury and Pluto both are stopping in the heavens and turning direct. Mercury kicks up the energy for two days before and after his station ~ September 10 to 14. Pluto kicks up energy for 5 days before and after his station, September 9 to 19. As both of them are 1) stopped to start moving direct, 2) talking nice to each other and 3) aspecting in an easy manner the North Node of Destiny, we’ll find the information we receive is or will be particularly poignant, important and transformative in our lives.

Mars enters Scorpio on Tuesday after Pluto stations to go direct. Mars LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Scorpio. This Mars placement tends to be silent and act rather than speak. The phrase actions speak louder than words falls under his domain. A ruthless killer when in battle, he respects his fallen enemy. He understands the ancestral tradition that ties the hunted to the hunter. When you conquer or kill prey or a person, the spirit or soul is tied to your own and enters into your being as a kind of cosmic scalp. Mars will be in Scorpio for the next six weeks. He’s dancing with Venus for the first part of the journey, until she stations to go retrograde on October 8th. Then they will part ways. Mars in Scorpio has enormous passion and a tendency to push the limits of safety. Fierce in passion as well battle, he also tests, tests, tests, to make sure the beloved or opponent is a worthy one. As Mars enters a new sign, he’s going to set off the separating t-square energy and wake it up one more time.

On Saturn’s day, Jupiter and Uranus meet for the second of their three conjunctions. Their conjunction is in late Pisces, asking us to reflect on early June 2010 when we were ready to change our lives when they were in early Aries. We might have changed it. We might have test trialed a change or two. Or we might have thought about changing our life but didn’t actually do it. Now the fellows are asking us to adjust our life and dream to support those changes we envisioned in early June. They will be back in January (Jupiter) and March (Uranus) of 2011 to get that new dream rocking when they reenter Aries to start a new cycles ~ a 12 year Jupiter cycle and 84 year Uranus cycle. The rest of our life truly begins then. For now, put the parts in place that will support what you envisioned in June. Revise the dream and get it moving forward again.

Moon’s day, September 13 Monday’s Moon in Sagittarius has a difficult or separating aspect to Uranus so today and Tuesday are great days to separate from things you no longer need or want. Captured as it is between two planets, Mercury and Pluto, stationing, today promises to be full of surprises and very important or interesting information. Pay attention to what you learn or see or hear today. The universe is changing rapidly. Mars has a stressful adjusting aspect to Uranus and Jupiter encouraging us to psychologically focus and adjust to the new vision of our life being created before us. Live in the moment and go for it! Say yes! Ceres is trine to Astraea so healing is possible with the right nurturing or nutrition. If you are ill or seeking health information, today can be a profound day of breakthroughs and connections with people or situations that offer hope and healing. Try it. Let the critical self judgment go ~ live in the moment and focus on your dream. Take steps toward your dream! Partnership energies are good but not quite what you want. No worries. Get clear. Clarify the vision. Make a resolve to cut yourself some slack ~ you aren’t supposed to know how or be able to do EVERY thing….

Tuesday, Mars’ day, September 14 Moon in Sagittarius continues to push the passion. You can get a lot done today as Moon is active and looking to inspire you to release things. Pluto stations to go direct today. WEE-HAW forward we go with our transformation. What is of value to you? Passion ignites the emotions and they can spin wildly out of control. Harness them back. Caution around harsh words that you can‘t recall. This is straw breaking a camel’s back kind of energy. Pluto stations and Mars at the last degree of Libra, answering to Venus in Scorpio, gets a kick of desire that is hard to suppress. Eris the Goddess of Discord is pushing on the Sun today ~ making it a crabby, cranky end of the day. Sun has kind of had it with her critical, picky and not kind words. Flare ups. Mars moves into Scorpio so he’s pulsing with passion and intensity. And he’s now in a place where he is very comfortable acting on his darker instincts.

Wednesday, Mercury’s day, September 15 Half the day is Moon in Sagittarius then it moves into Capricorn. Cappy Moon is excellent as it has a lovely closing sextile to Jupiter and Uranus traveling together in late Pisces. It is a hard work makes your dreams come true kind of aspect. Mars and Venus are united in helping you. Watch for the behavior patterns that indicate you might be slipping back rather than moving forward. No bad old behaviors… Eris is pointing out how you did it yet again. Thank her and move along… Venus moves into a very brilliant and highly creative aspect about new ideas and how to expand them out into the world. Listen to what she whispers in your ear. Relationships actually are quite functional today. Make sure to say “Yes” when you are asked. Lots of shifts today as Mercury and Pluto are moving direct and talking to Mars and Venus by competent and take charge working aspects. Clear out that little piece of hell in your life. Mars is right by your side to help you banish it. You can partner with yourself in happiness or sorrow. Focus on what you are saying and creating. Words have unusual power today.

Thursday, Jupiter’s day September 16 Moon in Capricorn is quite solid, reliable and dependable. Moon has a lovely closing aspect to Jupiter and Uranus offering us a creative break through in our lives. The principle of nurturing and the caretaking is working brilliantly with the creative forces of transformation. Mercury cuts through the old and out worn to release it and you from captivity. It is time to let it go. Sun is a bit stressed about health matters ~ more for the worrying about it than the actual problems but do watch out for infections. Juno and Pallas both aspect Sedna, the Inuit Ocean Goddess. Sedna had no mother in her mythology ~ today two of the more powerful Goddesses come to work with her ~ Juno as the principle of partnering with herself and Pallas as the principle of being smart and seeing the patterns before her eyes. Pay attention to what patterns you are changing forever. Sedna was originally sacrificed by her father to save himself when he cut off her fingers so she sank and drowned in the bottom of the ocean, her fingers becoming the sea animals. Today, Sedna is able to rise above betrayal by the most important men in her life to take care of herself, thanks to the support of Juno and Pallas. Expect to have shackles released today.

Friday, Venus’ Day September 17 Moon in Capricorn continues to support the changes taking place in your environment or physical body. Uranus and Jupiter release health matters and offer healing opportunities. Again, this is a great day to pursue alternative care or other health options. Today unusual or brilliant partnerships take place that are supportive of Sedna reclaiming her missing fingers and saying never again will I find myself in the situation of being betrayed. You can find yourself feeling VERY crabby so watch the harsh words that can alter relationships. It will pass. Lots of energy around transformation as Mars moves up to sextile Pluto and work with the powers of deep and profound transformations positively. Old and outworn things are released with ease. You need extra nurturing. Make sure to find people, places or situations who can provide that nurturing for you. Just because the person you WANT to nurture you can’t do it, doesn’t mean you can’t find a person who can and will nurture you. Nurture yourself. Be kind to you.

Saturn’s day, September 18 Moon in Aquarius adds an certain level of excitement to the story. Moon’s closing aspect is a conjunction to Neptune and Chiron offering healing from the wound of your soul. Jupiter joins with Uranus kicking up the energy of transformation and change as they merge at 28 Pisces. Think back to October 20-21, 2009, April 24-28, 2010 and July 4 to 7, 2010 to see how the stories link up. Mars works cooperatively with Pluto. Back to the dream you had in early June. Back to the dream you’ve been nurturing for a long time in your soul. Today that dream can start to come true. Give it room to come in and change your life. Again, watch for infections or problems with the physical realm as Astraea is active.

Sun’s day, September 19 Moon in Aquarius pushes us forward into our vision of the future. A busy day, Sun is starting to see things clearly as he passes Neptune and moves toward healing. Venus brings deep emotions into the story as she wants to understand the glibness of the world. Mercury is trine to the North Node of Destiny today so make sure to notice who you meet or connect with. There is a family energy around relationships today. Allow for passions to rise and be spoken. No glibness today. Be clear and direct. It can feel like things end today or that the end is approaching on projects you’ve been stewarding and shepherding forward. Juno advises that the project that appears to be disappearing before your eyes actually was a trial run for the real project that is before you. No worries. Saturn says all things must end as he moves into new positions to argue about who is in charge and assume his own authority. Remember Saturn is answering to Venus in Scorpio so passions can roil and boil today. Let go of the old and out worn that no longer serve or support you. Embrace and hold close the people and things that you love. For all its sadness and misery, the connections that support and sustain us offer us hope for the future. Transform your home and hearth so it supports your new life direction.

Mundane: A few of you asked about the stock market crash that didn’t crash in August. Astrologers were divided between early May, August and October /November of 2010. Early May had the “flash crash”. I had my money on an August crash with Admetos stationing on the NYSE chart Ascendant combined with the cardinal t-square. I am happy to be wrong! Sometimes being wrong is a good thing! So forward we go to the Venus retrograde in Scorpio in October and the trigger of the eclipse degree by Pluto joining the North Node of fate in early November and the USA‘s Saturn return. Stay tuned.
