Question:
I'm emailing you because Nicki (my daughter) and I are finding
that virtually everyone, no matter whether their lives are
good or not, are feeling very down and unhappy and tired!
(Including us sometimes!!!)
Is it just the change of weather or is something going on
with the planets and, if so, how long will it last?
Love, Anne
Soul Astrology Answer:
Well, Anne, the first thing that strikes me
is that we're on the brink of a full moon with the Sun in
Scorpio (deep emotional stuff) and the Moon in Taurus (manifesting
the results) to be complete around 4am ish by the clock, on
28th October, Thursday. It's a lunar eclipse – which
tends to intensifies things. The Moon is eclipsed by the Earth
getting in the way of the sun's rays, which points to material
things obscuring the meaning, and lighter side, of the Sun's
focus in Scorpio.
Mercury too, is in Scorpio and sextiling Chiron soon –
so we are aware of the deep stuff and focusing on the wounds
of Capricorn – that could be showing in the run up to
the American election, and Blair agreeing to send British
troops to support the American war moves. The political scene
tends to be the obvious focus of the 'astrological weather',
so we get to see what we are all personally contending with
– having to make decisions which we are not too clear
about, perhaps.
Saturn in Cancer and Mars in Libra are coming up to a square
relationship on 7th November – that's about trying to
keep peace with people like Bush trying to control things.
Should be good for the fireworks parties on 5th and 6th November!
Also, from 11th November Mars will begin travelling through
Scorpio until 26th December, which adds intensity to the run-up
to Christmas!
I think we just need to get on with what needs doing in our
own patch, and bless the rest of the world on a regular basis.
I do mean really bless them all – it's good practice
for keeping our own higher contact. We need to regularly notice
when things are getting too important - then take three deep
breaths, and notice what is really around us at that moment.
Peace is an inner sense.

Peace is an inner sense. It's not outside
to be campaigned and fought for and enforced.
The enemy's within, the braggart mule,
the pontif, the complainer or the judge
who sit in council on my neighbours' ways
living on resentment, pain, revenge.
Peace is an inner sense that will be found
hidden behind the damage and desires.
Each hurt received, each bitter moment passed,
we need accept as just 'the way life was',
without denying rancour, guilt or shame,
but letting go to face the next surprise.
Peace is an innocence that sees us all
as individual drops in one great sea,
appreciates all efforts, leaves mistakes,
that plays with dreams, accepts necessity.
Till I can be at peace with all my thoughts
the world outside will battle, just like me.
