Aria Sparrowsong's TAROT AND STARS

 As the world hangs in the balance and our planet's population waits with baited breath, to see who will be elected the U.S. President, we of spiritual pursuits are stepping back to celebrate our most favorite holiday, Samhain, Celtic New Year, Day of the Dead or whatever you would like to call it. This is a time of honouring our ancestors. Nothing could be more important than looking back on our history and wisdom from the elders and making sure we are not doomed by repeating mistakes from the past and from the history books. This Samhain is especially powerful as we will have a Full Moon, indeed, a Blue Moon, (the second Full Moon in a calendar month), to beckon us to higher realms during our rituals and meditations. A Full Moon doesn't really go along with the celebration of Samhain--even though it is depicted this way in photos, art, some traditions, etc., the last crescent phase would be the correct one that coincides with this date on the cosmic calendar.

Artist Unknown Well, life took over this month and this is why my regular post about the New Moon got waylaid by one day. This is probably the most balanced time that you and I will feel during this season of drastic changes, retrogrades and crazy cosmic happenings! Most of the crazy will continue until the end of this year and looking forward to 2021 seems like the most hopeful thing we can do right now! RETROGRADES We have Mercury retrograde in Scorpio until November 3rd, Election Day here in the US. Mars is Retrograde in it's own sign of Aries and this will last until November 13th. Neptune has been retrograde since last June, right now it is in the sign of Pisces and will go direct again on November 28th. Uranus has been retrograde since last August and will go direct again on January 14th, 2021--it is in the sign of Taurus. Chiron, the Asteroid is retrograde in the sign of Aries until December 15th. Eris, the Asteroid of the Divine Feminine, Chaos, Strife and Discord is retrog...

The Full Moon in Aries peaks on October 1st at 1706 hrs EDT. This is also the Harvest Moon, the Full Moon that is closest to the Fall Equinox or Mabon that took place a little over a week ago. Now we are really stepping into the Fall season with cooler nights, sultry days and here in Florida, a desire to be outside as the humidity is now at normal levels. This Full Moon has a lot of transiting stuff happening around it at the same time right now. So these are not the normal Aries energies we are playing with. For one thing, Mars is retrograde in it's own sign of Aries. See my previous quarterly forecast right HERE to analyze the present and upcoming transits in more depth.  For the next month, what will work in the best way for most is assertiveness (not aggressiveness), knowing how to be strategic when interacting with others and knowing our own power. Conflicts, temper tantrums and bad energies will generally not end well for anyone. Learn how to count to ten and take deep, clea...
