OCTOBER 2002 by Bob Mulligan

It finally is dawning on the world this month that which was not possible to see two years ago, we are living in a new era. The 21st century is not just an extension of the dreams and fears of the 20th century, it is a world with different rules and expectations than the one we left behind. In October of 2002 a new "we can do it" attitude is forming as we all move ahead in our lives. The big dangers this month are over-extension and self involvement. The rewards now are second chances to go back and do things right, and chances to start in a new direction. This is the fork in the road.

On the 1st Venus aspects Saturn and Sun trines Neptune. Inspiration runs high. We are all in a meditative state.

Wednesday the 2nd Moon conjuncts Jupiter and Mercury retrogrades back into Virgo. Some last minute corrections require attention today, but, a real opportunity to advance is present. Thinking and putting the final finishing touches on some big project can advance your situation over the next few days.

On the 3rd the Sun aspects Mars and then Uranus, as Mercury squares Saturn. Expect lots of abrupt sharp energy. We tend to act first and think about it latter.

On the 4th Mars sesquiquadrates Neptune. There will be strong pushes forward, but not much movement. Go with the flow today. Don’t fight the direction.

Saturday the 5th the Sun is contra-parallel to the Moon. Collect your thoughts. Take today to rest.

Sunday the 6th we have the Sun sextiling Jupiter, then the New Moon at 13 degrees of Libra at 7:19am EDT. Meditate, start in a new direction. Nurture new energy and enthusiasm. Everyone’s spirits lift a little.

On the 8th the Sun Sextiles Pluto. Real help is available today, but you do have to ask for it.

Mercury Squares Saturn indicating a day of change on Tuesday the 9th. Switching from one activity to another is not always easy it will but now be necessary.

On the 10th Venus turns retrograde, ushering in a period of inspecting the past. Venus is in the sign Scorpio and will soon be in square to Jupiter. It is definitely a day to take stock of our extremes. This is a time of transitions. Hard work may be necessary, but relief is in sight.

Friday the 11th Mercury enters Libra. Saturn turns retrograde at 29 Gemini. Be calm, an important new perspective can surface today allowing clearer decisions.

On the 13th the Sun and moon reach their first quarter and Jupiter makes a semi-square to Saturn. Its Sunday, we may re-evaluate last week. If we are in a pensive mood we look much further back.

Mars is in a hard aspect to both Saturn then Jupiter on the 14th. Energy is available today, but acting in a way that furthers our goals requires careful planning.

Tuesday the 15th Mars enters Libra, then Venus semi-square Mars. These are romance indicators, however with the aura of excess in the air it is hard to make intelligent long lasting decisions just now.

On the 17th Venus Squares Jupiter. Our passions and desires can be overwhelming.

Mercury trines Neptune, then the Sun trines Uranus on Friday the 18th. There are tremendous opportunities today. The force for advancement is very solid now.

On the 19th Mercury trines the North node of the Moon. If you can maintain some common sense, today offers great opportunity to achieve a practical lasting harmony with others.

Neptune turns direct on Sunday the 20th. It’s possible for a higher vision of truth to open doors of opportunity.

On the 21st we have the Full Moon occurring at 3:21am EDT. Now is the time to seek harmony with yourself and the world.

Tuesday the 22nd the Sun trines Saturn, then Mercury sextiles Jupiter. New relationships and a renewed self confidence can carry us forward.

On the 23rd Mercury Sextiles Pluto showing a time of serious, focused discussions bringing positive rewards.

Sunday the 27th Jupiter trines Pluto. Now is the time to move forward. This is a Plutonian time. Pluto rules blind force. We find the news has been dominated all month with people jockeying for position power. We have a unique opportunity now to change the way we relate to each other.

On the 28th Mars trines Neptune, then Mercury trines Uranus. Enlightened answers to hard put questions emerge as we are all swept up in the feeling of the inevitable.

Wednesday the 30th Venus squares Neptune, then Mercury trines Saturn. Emotional difficulties and mental clarity make this a mixed day. We do best to stay on course with pre-determined plans.

Thursday the 31st is the last day of October. We should be pleased as much has been accomplished this month. Today, the Sun conjuncts Venus, then squares Neptune, finally Mercury enters Scorpio. At its best, today can be used for planing and problem solving. Research and discover are strongly favored now.
