We’re winding down the lunar month with a Moon in Virgo, which brings us full circle after last month’s Virgo New Moon. It’s a practical check-in with the goals and to-dos we listed, one last push to get things done before Friday’s new moon.

Presently we have two personal planets retrograde — Mercury and Mars. What are personal planets? They are planets that deal with life on a personal level. Mercury is how we communicate. Mars is how we take action, express our will and our drive. It’s a little hard to push forward at the moment. (FYI, the personal planets are Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars.)

So, as we tidy up and close out the lunar month, we’re doing so with Mercury Retrograde. Perhaps it’s worth going back and revisiting the days and weeks since the Virgo New Moon on September 17. What needs a new approach or a fresh set of eyes?

Note that the Sun is in the midst of making some bumpy connections to Mars, Pluto, and Saturn. Life may feel a little loud at the moment. Or, will get louder once we end this lunar month and step into a new one on October 16.

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m involved in a project called Cosmos, Crystals, and Cabernet, which pairs wine with astrology and crystals. If interested, you have until October 22 to order your tasting kit so that it arrives in time for our virtual tasting event on November 1. Your tasting kit includes a bottle of Petite Sirah, a mahogany obsidian sphere, and notes on the astrology of the October 31 full moon. Details here as well as how to purchase your kit. Unfortunately at the moment this is only available to those in the United States because it would be difficult to ship wine internationally in time. And if you can’t make the live video call, a replay will be available.
