DRAGONFLY FULL MOON: The life-changing effects of this Thursday's Full Moon are already being felt, due to the involvement of several other planets in the lunation. One of those planets is powerful Pluto, which is at full strength right now since it just stationed direct on October 12.

JUPITER & PLUTO:  We are feeling the influence of Jupiter and Pluto very strongly right now. Both planets come to a standstill and change direction this week: Jupiter stations retrograde on Wednesday (October 9) and Pluto stations direct on Friday (October 11). The date of a planet's station is significant because its impact on our lives is magnified for at least a week before and after that date.

RING OF FIRE ECLIPSE: October's New Moon, which occurs at 11:49 a.m. PDT on Wednesday, October 2, is also an annular Solar Eclipse. Energetically, a Solar Eclipse impacts us more profoundly than a regular New Moon, and can also influence our lives for six months or longer after the event.

THE LAND TIME FORGOT: We are now navigating the corridor between eclipses, that two-week period when life seems a bit surreal and time is only a blurry concept. The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 17 initiated a new phase in our evolutionary growth, opening us to new spiritual light and creative inspirations. At the other end of this passageway, the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2 highlights the need to stay mentally and emotionally in balance as we manage times of significant change.

A MEGA-WEEK: The third week of August starts off with a combination of planetary events that should have significant impact and prove to be life-changing for many of us. Starting off the festivities on Monday, August 19, the theatrical Leo Sun squares unpredictable Uranus and then opposes the progressive Aquarius Moon. The result is a dramatic Full Moon and an exciting and surprising climax to the lunar cycle that began on August 4.

CLATTER: When wind blows through a bamboo forest, the hollow stems of the trees bend and sway. As they collide with each other, they make a clattering noise, similar to the sound of many horses' hooves prancing lightly on a cobblestone street. This is analogous to what we may experience this week as Mars and Jupiter align in airy Gemini.
