Boo! Here we are in the heart of autumn. The month starts on a Tuesday, the day of the week for Mars, with the Moon in Scorpio. How rambunctious do you want this month to be? Think carefully before answering because there is enough energy to do darn near whatever you want.

Tue Oct 01 the Moon is in Scorpio all day. If that’s not enough heat for you, last night there was a Venus-Pluto square that thankfully is separating. Regardless, keep that energy level high and pour it into your work and not your paranoia.

Wed Oct 02 the Moon starts off in Scorpio. After the Moon-Mars sextile at 2:46 am, the Moon goes void of course until 4:44 am as it enters Sagittarius. It can be a social, scattered day, but you can still be productive. At 11:39 pm Pluto goes stationary direct. Sleep well.

Thu Oct 03 the Moon is in Sagittarius when Mercury changes signs, leaves Libra and enters Scorpio. Heads Up. Mercury is now in the heart of the Via Combusta. Don’t let your head be too hard on your heart. The Moon conjoins Jupiter at 1:40 pm. And it’s Jupiter’s day of the week. Look on the bright side. At 9:22 pm Mars changes signs, leaves Virgo and enters Libra. Do your physical exercise and feel virtuous. Heads Up. (continue reading…)

All times are PDT.

October at last! Summer is really over now (although not hurricane season). We are in the heart of pumpkin season. Earlier efforts may be bearing fruit, and that’s great, but it’s almost secondary to the continuing growth of the work in hand. This can be a very productive month. Stick with it!

Sun Oct 01 the Moon is in Aquarius all day. It’s the Sun’s day of the week. And, we start the month with a Mars-Pluto trine in the earth signs. We can accomplish a lot all month long if we remember to pursue our true passions and be willing to rock the boat if necessary.

Tue Oct 3 the Moon is in Pisces all day and conjoins Neptune at 5:45 am. Wake with dreams that are worth writing about.

Wed Oct 04 the Moon is in Pisces half the day, and in the Aries for the second half. If you dream away the first half, you’ll more than make up for it in the second. (continue reading…)

Wicked Witch of the West with the Part of Fortune!!!

Dorothy J. Kovach will be presenting a special Halloween lecture at 7:30 pm, Thursday the 29th of October at Fort Mason Center, San Francisco. She will be discussing that hidden gem of the horoscope, the Lot of Fortune.

Once relegated to the dusty recesses of history, the last two decades have seen a revolution in ancient techniques. Amongst the most beneficial, if not controversial, is the Part of Fortune. The ancient Greeks considered it to be the lot we chose, before descending into matter. Also known as the Part of Fortune, this little equation is invaluable, for getting to the heart of the matter, in both forensic and horary astrology, but when applied to natal charts, it is also the key to finding, the gold lying inside deep within our own charts, waiting to be mined.

Celebrate the Feast of the Spirits of the Beyond by letting your inner ghoul fly free. Consider dressing for this festive occasion.

Bring your questions, and a copy of your natal chart, as we plunge the deep, and find the treasures and the traumas deep within. Join us and learn how astrology can be a beacon of light in spooky times. (continue reading…)
