Astrology equation of this week - October 1

Venus is in Sagittarius now. It is very supportive to her. Venus in Sagittarius indicates that you are emotionally warm, outgoing and idealistic in your romantic and social dealings. . There is a strong need for freedom and you will not be rushed into romantic situations, preferring to make strong friendships before entering into any type of further commitment.

On January 6, Venus is making square with Saturn. It is depressing aspect for your love and fun area, especially if were born near 30th of any month. You tend to be on the defensive; as if you feared that the other person would make impossible demands of you.

If you are younger, you may feel like you are very unpopular now, with few invitations to parties. You may be stuck with a crowd that you do not want to have associations with, but feel that you must because of peer pressure. If you're older, this is a period of examination during which you seek to make your relationships more relevant to who you are as a person. Often you find yourself tied up to social obligations that you find onerous and would rather be free of.

Other than this aspect, week seems to be quite positive. Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius have most active chart at this time.

The strong concerns about security of this lunation are intensified with aggressive Mars' close conjunction with the Cancer Moon. Emotional flare-ups and threats to safety can provoke fear, anger and squabbles with family members. Staying calm and acting constructively can build trust and closeness.

Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Moon and Pluto are moving close in narrow band, and impacting people born near 23rd of any month more closely. Mars (impulsiveness) and Moon (emotions, feelings) are opposite to Jupiter (planet of luck), Sun (authority) and Pluto (passion). That is really a close and interesting phase to them. On one hand Jupiter, Sun and Pluto combination is an extremely supportive aspect. But on other hand emotionality could restrict you to utilize it.

One area of human activity that might be cause for concern is that Mars will also be quite active next two weeks, with its oppositions to the Sun, Jupiter, and then Pluto. This could coincide with an increase in hostilities, and perhaps even a military confrontation.

Weekend is more stable as we have Mars –Node trine, Sun –Saturn trine, Venus quintile Pluto, and Mercury- Uranus sextile. All support a harmoniums and emotionally stable environment.

Last week, Saturn turned retrograde in Virgo on Wednesday. That was the prime turning point of market. Not only stocks, but precious metals also rallied strongly following Saturn station.

Gold and Silver also struggled into Thursday of last week. Ion the case of Gold, the February contract made a low last Monday at 792.50, and re-tested it at 797.70 on Thursday. By Friday, it was nearly $20.00 higher. March Silver fell to a new low for this primary cycle at 1382 on Monday. By Friday it was up to 1456.

This week, we will find the Sun and Jupiter conjunct, and both in a rare opposition to Mars during the same week. As indicated before, Jupiter has tendency to expand or exaggerate things whenever it is in force, especially with Mars. Additionally, we have a full moon in Cancer on December 23 nearly at same angle. So, even with the holidays talking place then, we might see large price swings. These signatures indicate the potential for either euphoria or panic.

Mars opposition to all Sun, Jupiter and Pluto in next two weeks is significant. We could see more impulsive based buying or selling. First two planet will see opposition this week , but Pluto opposition is happening on 2nd January.

In conclusion, geocosmic energies indicate volatility especially in first half of the week. Second half seems to be much more stable.

We have full moon on December 23, but its impact will be seen this week too. This is the Full Moon to swim in the unbounded ocean of love that connects us with the rhythm of life and all other sentient beings. With a loving, intuitive Moon in Cancer and Mars in Cancer (compassionate action) opposing the Pluto in Sagittarius/Jupiter/Sun/Mercury in Capricorn conjunction, we should all be swept up in a pulsating desire for focused, loving action.

This is that once a year when the Full Moon is posited in the astrological sign it rules, making the force of love and trust so abundant that the heart just naturally opens. So if you have lost faith in love, or have a relationship in turmoil, Venus in Scorpio, Saturn in Virgo, Jupiter/Mercury/ Sun in Capricorn, make this a “get real and get committed” Full Moon.

First part of the week could be little stressed and productive for all. If you are born near 23rd of any month, you will see these impacts more closely. Second half of the week is little less stressed.

Venus is still in emotional water of Scorpio. On December 29, it is making square with north node, so may feel hunger for love more than usual. Otherwise, Venus is sending lovely vibes to Mars and Pluto throughout the week.
Taurus and Scorpio signs are seeing long terms changes in their love and fun area. Pisces, Leo and Virgo are other signs this week.

Volatility continued all across global markets. Most of the markets are near to their all time high especially emerging markets. Jupiter-Pluto conjunction has been playing a vital role in current volatility. Stocks tanked Friday, ending a volatile week on a down note, after a report showing higher inflation raised worries that the Federal Reserve won't be able to keep cutting interest rates, even as the economy continues to struggle. Fed is looking for innovative solutions to crack the current credit crisis. There is tough road ahead to control inflation and credit market simultaneously. Emerging markets will also see slower growth, if this current turmoil persists.

This week we have three major astrology events. Jupiter will change sign on December 18. Jupiter is out of place in Capricorn. Capricorn is ruled by the serious planet, Saturn. This will require more practical approach. Soon, earth signs will host three major planets i.e Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. Things should be more stable afterward.

Saturn will go in retrograde motion from December 19. We saw Mars impact in October, 2007. Most of the world market saw their all time high at that time, and it was a reversal point. Saturn retrograde in earth sign could reduce pressure from current mortgage crisis. But, you could hear some significant development near December 19 on credit and sub-prime front.

On December 23, a full moon is happening in emotional water of Cancer. Four planets, Jupiter, Pluto, Sun and Mercury have significant opposition from emotional Moon and impulsive Mars. Full moon is always emotional , but this one is more. It's impact will be visible plus or minus five days.

In conclusion, next two weeks have little negative geocosmic energy. It is advisable to stay away from risky decisions.
