Weekly astrology summary:
Endurance, stamina, and finally pushing over the hump of something that has had us feeling like Sisyphus are abundant in this week’s cosmic energies. The first breath of some forward momentum comes from the end of potent Pluto’s annual retrograde on Oct. 15. The underworld lord’s repeating review of the early Aquarian degrees has turned some more hidden molecules into fuel, which in turn fuels us in our connection to this part of the zodiac and ourselves. The next is a harmonious connection between a fiery, inspired Mars in Leo and steadfast Saturn in Aries that persists all week. When these two work together, it can show up for us as a breakthrough, or that final push that was needed to get through something or have something we’ve been working toward finally begin to come to fruition. The light at the end of the tunnel can be seen, and that last bit of potential energy to get there is available.
How this week’s energies support each of us personally is also met with a sense of mastery and reliance on muscle memory. The source of this comes Oct. 21 as the sun in relationship-oriented Libra opposes Chiron in independent Aries for the last time in many decades. We’ve been experiencing this face-off once per year for the last seven years. This is a final checkpoint about remaining true to one’s own identity versus one’s identity in relationships. With the supportive backbone from the Mars and Saturn connection, mastering the lesson during this final challenge should come with ease. Your own power may surprise you! This week’s horoscopes are focused on the endurance of Mars in Leo connecting with Saturn in Aries; see the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific insight and guidance.
