OCTOBER 2009
Zodiac Mood of the MonthThe Libra Sun will amble its' way along hopefully quietly will a lucky trine to Jupiter on the 10th and a sympathetic trine to Neptune on the 7th. Venus joins the Sun mid month in Libra to add to the sociable charm. Then Mars moves out of Cancer on the 16th where it has been rather over emotional in recent weeks. It'll be much happier in flamboyant Leo where it stays for an extraordinarily long time till June 2010 - noisy and attention seeking maybe but at least it is inspirational as well. The Scorpio Sun picks up from the 23rd immediately sextiling the Sun so there'll be a get it together mood, more intense but determined to make progress.
The big news astrologically speaking is Saturn's move out of Virgo on the 30th where it has been for two to three years putting its brakes and serious influence over employment, health and practical matters. Now into Libra till Oct 2012 the better side should be in being fair minded, aiming for co-operation and keen on good agreements in relationships and out in society. Its' downside is a tendency to be pernickety, over driven at work. Though it will be blocked initially by Pluto of which more anon in November.

NOVEMBER 2009
Zodiac Mood of the Month
The Fixed Scorpio Sun will square the overly hopeful Jupiter Neptune so there may be a few disappointments around financially and in other ways. Venus will attempt to maintain a sultry seductive mood in Scorpio from the 8th. But with the first of the exact bleak, deprived Saturn square Plutos midmonth it won't be wrap-round bliss. Saturn Pluto usually requires perseverance, grit. Tough times bring tough measures and bring out everyone's inner resilience. The Sagittarian Sun from the 22nd will attempt to look on the bright side seeing silver linings even in the midst of problems.

| Sun |   | |
| Mercury | | |
| Venus | | |
| Mars | | |
| Jupiter | | From January 5th 2009 in Aquarius for a year bringing a friendly, more tolerant mood. |
| Saturn | | In Virgo from September 3rd 07 till Oct 29 09 = hard working, serious about health. Setbacks and problems with employment. Then into Libra till early April 2010. In Virgo again till late July 2010 then into Libra till October 2012 = serious about one to one relationships and agreements. |
| Uranus | | In Pisces December 2003 till 2010/2011 = revelations and new insights into creativity, spiritual beliefs and psychology, disinclination to face difficulties. Operates like Uranus transitting the 12th house so psychological upsets, surprises which bring anxieties, no deeper understanding of causes of events. |
| Neptune | | In Aquarius 1998 till 2012 = supposedly about enlightened humanitarianism and the universal brotherhood of man, though more likely bringing uncertainty about the future, old scientific attitudes being undermined, social values being eroded. |
| Pluto | | In Capricorn for sixteen years from Nov 26 08 = complete deconstruction and reconstruction of global economic and commercial structures and systems, as well as major changes in way in which governments work. In past times of Pluto in Capricorn (approximately every 250 years) there was territorial domination on a grand scale by charismatic leaders and ultimately a time of culture, learning, justice and prosperity. Reversed briefly back into Sagittarius from mid June 08 to late November 08 which brings up strong views, religious intolerance, arguments about education, difficulties travelling long distance, self righteousness - everything we've seen since the mid 1990s. Thereafter it stays in Capricorn till 2024. |
