Libra / Scorpio Cusp

· ·

Libra Scorpio Cusp. Charismatic Charmer meets Deep Planner.
October 19 – 25th. Happy Birthday Cuspy Critter!

Libra is ruled by Venus and Scorpio co-ruled by Mars and Pluto.

Since Pluto was demoted and seems to fluctuate in status — planet / not planet — with advocates on either side… let’s consider the Mars angle. A ferocious strength, a powerful force and a warrior. This gets nicely balanced out with lovey-dovey Venutian vibes.

Last month we touched upon how scientists have discovered phosphine gas in the clouds of Venus, raising the intriguing prospect of life on Venus (ok, not likely humanoid, but still the possibilities are mind boggling). Venus is the planet of love, beauty and money.

What does this combo of energies bless you with?
We think you are sensual, smart and have a petit soupçon of that well known Scorpion sting. You might lurk in your basement / the shadows for a while planning out a bold next move, but your Libra side will balance that out with a softer, more creative approach, so instead of a sting, it will feel like an embrace.

In short — A cunning tactician with a generous streak.

Disclaimer: As always, planets are really only in one place at one time (unless of course you consider quantum mechanics and parallel universes:), so your sun sign really is in only either ~29 degrees Libra or ~0 degrees Scorpio. Feel it out for yourself.”

Scorpio Sagittarius Cusp

Nov 18 to 24 | Cusp of Revolution

When an Irresistible Force Such as You….

Scorpio  is a Water sign, traditionally ruled by Mars and these days by that planet with changing status, Pluto. Sagittarius is a Fire sign, ruled by lucky Jupiter

How might these signs affect you?

Your Combined Strengths:
Powerful,Passionate, Philosophical
Your Combined Weaknesses:
Secretive, Selfish, Smoldering

But who is to say if being selfish is a weakness? Maybe it’s your most potent tool to wield against a world that is full of OTT confessions.

Or to be Philosophical, while giving you much wisdom and a big picture view of the world, could it be a tad too a lofty position for you to get down to the practical side of life.

The key is to recognize the dualities, embrace what is important at the moment, and let the luck of Jupiter combined with the empathy of a Water sign make you be an irresistible force.

**Still on what may be a never ending quest to determine the status of Pluto as planet. Had seemed to be re-instated and yet some contest this. We vote Planet.

About these dates:  We personally feel that this is quite a wide berth: 18th to 24th, and would lean towards a November 20th to 24th say as the cusp. But, then again, most Astrologers don’t consider cusps to be real. ie: you either are born when the Sun was in Sagittarius or you weren’t. Yet, as cuspy critters ourselves, we definitely enjoy both the pleasure of reading both horoscopes (hey — double the fun!) and can feel the influence of the adjacent sign. We’re at 0 degrees and 30 degrees. So…. a few minutes later (or earlier)…poof, another sign.

New Moon in Scorpio

· ·

As above so below, as within so without.

The New Scorpio Moon on October 27th opposes Uranus, and the Sun follows suit 1:15 am/4:15 am Monday morning. Meanwhile Mars is squaring Saturn, and Pluto.

I’m no yoga expert, but it feels like there will be a surge of regenerative energy available via root and crown chakras and that we should try to keep channels unblocked so that these can meet in the heart and possibly ‘blow us out of the water’.

With Scorpio there is root emphasis. (It rules the sex organs, too, but water seeks the bottom level – probably also why Pisces rules the feet). Below, it is the Scorpion, while above, the eagle, phoenix or dove. 

Pluto ‘below’ (on Earth) is plutonium, a super-charged, heavy metal. So is uranium, but we are obviously speaking of these in the symbolic sense. Pluto represents deep unconscious, while Uranus is more about higher as well as collective consciousness, or long-term (as in previous or future life) memory. 
At the center of it all, we have the union or marriage of Moon (silver) and Sun (gold), which is a heart matter. 

Scorpio is fixed, while Mars sq Saturn can create blockage, friction, or the necessary irritation to force powerful change. Both planets are in cardinal signs – new beginnings. Uranus has a Promethean quality and can unlock/release the winged beings inherent in the arachnid. The ‘higher octave’ of Mercury, it can turn Capricorn goats into unicorns.

So at the very least, get out for a walk (pref by water), to clear the system, and couple that with some kind of meditation/relaxation. The veil is getting very thin, we are bound to receive some kind of inspiration, insight or healing from beyond our usual, physical boundaries, if we allow it.

Libra / Scorpio Cusp

October 19th – 25th

It’s quite possible that scientists have re-instated Pluto as a planet, but it’s not 100% clear.

Which is kind of perfect for a cuspy critter like yourself, hovering between the sensual energy given to you by Venus, ruler of Libra, and the psychic energy from Pluto, which has dominion over Scorpio. But wait, Mars also co-rules Scorpio, And if Pluto isn’t really a planet, perhaps the feisty bossy energy of Mars has more influence.

Time will tell.

With this delightful mix of energy, you are a very lucky cuspy critter indeed – beautiful, sharp witted and emotionally tuned in.

Work it baby.
