Patty the Astrologer's Blog: Your astrology week Oct 11 through Oct 18 2020

October 11 through Oct 18, 2020.

Your comments and suggestions are welcome. When you call or email with requests for clarity or more, I love it, so please be in touch.

We skipped last week to focus on the President’s health after it was said he had the virus. The astrology indicated this was very minor. If you would like to read what was written, please email me and I’ll send it to you personally.

Mercury goes retrograde October 13 and Mars is still retrograde. Even though Mars is retrograde, it is in wonderful relationship with the purpose of the week, indicating incubated plans will work if they are in balance with both domestic and international communication, are well though out.

With Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Cancer continues to experience challenging relationships, Aries and Libra may experience challenges, which these signs enjoy. USA is a Cancer country, hence is experiencing challenging relationships in addition to the virus.

Oct 11 busy, crazy day. Possible expansion of the virus. Otherwise relationships and agreements are challenged and need to adjust to unrealistic situations. Libra may challenge Capricorn and the status quo and push Pisces, but Libra needs to adjust to accommodate minor interruptions with possible no-shows and changes EEK! Libra does not like their plans changed. Gemini and Aquarius can help Libra, Taurus and Virgo can help Capricorn, Cancer and Scorpio can help Pisces.

Oct 12 last focus date of a cycle that began Feb 20, focused again July 27. This is an opportunity for a cure for the virus, or at least an effective medicine. If not the virus, an opportunity for the practical and the ideal to work together. This indicates the establishment and restrictions have the opportunity to present compassion and help to those in need. Good day for everyone, but especially for Capricorn and Pisces, followed by Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio and maybe Cancer. Also today, opportunity for good news for everyday people, possibly about the restrictions working and not so restrictive after all. This indicates Scorpio and Virgo have the opportunity for good communications, followed by Cancer, Pisces and Capricorn. Taurus may have conversation about money. The Sun and moon are getting along, indicating a pleasant day amidst any challenges. Leo and Libra have the opportunity to better communications.

Oct 12 USA Quiet, but good situation; an attempt to somehow balance confidence of the nation with finances. Also, opportunity to pass a law or make an agreement to benefit the population.

Oct 13 Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Scorpio and goes direct Nov 3 still in the sign of Scorpio. We all know this can be a crazy time, especially for electrical and electronic things. Since Scorpio is in the mix, be very careful of financial agreements and documents. I would put those decisions off until after Mercury goes direct and only if in harmony with my chart. Caveat: if your natal Mercury is retrograde, this is a good time for you to do anything. We who are affected would be wise to talk with you, especially if you are a Scorpio (because Mercury is retrograde in that sign).

Oct 13 difficult relationship day trying to balance cooperation, inclusion and going it alone. Libra and Aries tense, with Cancer and Capricorn challenged by quick action. Gemini and Aquarius can help Libra, with Scorpio and Pisces helping Cancer. Moon goes into Virgo, adding common sense and detail.

Oct 14 USA the president takes the opportunity to give good news either about himself and an ally or enemy. Good news from or about the Supreme Court regarding laws, agreements and contracts. Later in the day or tomorrow, the president challenges everyone or is challenged.

Oct 15 challenging tense day with the one in authority challenging the strong, powerful established one to cooperate. This could also be a spike in virus deaths. However the one in authority has the opportunity to use past knowledge to effectively communicate. Libra is challenging Capricorn to cooperate, but Capricorn is loathe to do so. If Libra will remember past success to communicate in everyday terms, there is possibly for success. Again, Gemini can help Libra with diplomacy, Aquarius can help Libra see the future. Taurus and Virgo can help Capricorn be realistic and less ambitious. Moon goes into Libra, adding diplomacy and cooperation.

Oct 16 New moon in Libra with Libra being a little more assertive and possibly mildly challenging Aries, Cancer and Capricorn. Now is the time for Libra to initiate ideas. Good for Gemini and Aquarius who enjoy social times. Leo and Sagittarius have the opportunity for partnership or social times. Virgo and Scorpio are neutral, with Pisces and Taurus adjusting to requests for partnership or cooperation.

Oct 16 USA challenges from either the Supreme Court or a foreign power about a financial law or agreement. Could be challenges to the Supreme Court nomination. This is not over, Oct 20 is a combination of agreement, arguments and failure.

Oct 17 Moon goes into Scorpio, adding seriousness and interest in long-term finances.

Oct 18 another challenging, tense day like the 15th. The one in authority challenging the ambitious, established one. Someone wants cooperation or romance and challenges their partner who prefers either business or work. However, this could be another day with more virus deaths. With this one, Libra challenges Capricorn, maybe to no avail, with Aries and Cancer experiencing challenges. There may be medical volunteers for the virus vaccine or medicine. Relationships could be at odds because the working one is trying to push the creative one or the one who wants escape. Your loved one is withdrawn and focused on work, causing irritation, especially between Virgo and Pisces. Taurus and Capricorn can help Virgo, with Cancer and Scorpio helping Pisces.
