Full Moon Oct 22

The full moon is Friday, October 22. If you look up in the sky, it is beautiful. The planet Jupiter is close enough to be seen as a bright star close to the moon. The Moon is in the sign of Aries opposite the Sun in the sign of Libra. (for you astrology buffs, the degree is 29.) This means the signs of Cancer and Capricorn can be involved in the crisis. This time the challenge is in leadership and competition. You know that the full moon stimulates bizarre behavior and crisis in the emergency room and with the police. This full moon indicates guns, fires, injuries to the head and possibly partnership violence. On a more gentle note, the crisis can be with partnerships, with one person wanting to go it alone, touching off arguments with the one who prefers being together. In your workplace and dealing with groups, there could be challenging or testy leadership issues. The leaders could each be going their own ways, nobody paying attention to the other, resulting in confusion. Since these are leadership situations, there can be impulsive, explosive reactions to what otherwise would be minor irritants. Stay out of the way, tomorrow will be better.

The positive side of this is that if there is an emergency, the leadership signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn rise to the challenge and act quickly to begin whatever needs to be done. Expect them to be barking orders, which will be necessary. The stable signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius (believe it or not!) can execute the orders and stabilize the situation. The communicator signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces can communicate the orders and progress back and forth to make sure everyone is understood.

An emergency room nurse told me recently that the hospital has stopped scheduling surgeries during the full moon because it gets crazy in the ER and they need all the doctors there.

Enjoy the high energy and be sure to look up at the beautiful moon. When I look up from my back yard, the moon has a beautiful halo around it.
