Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord. Thank you so much for joining me today as we discuss the astrological energies of October 7th until October 14th, where we do have fewer transiting aspects this week, with the most important one being the Libra New Moon coming up on Saturday, October 10th. We'll be discussing that in today's show, plus I have both a personal and professional update to share with you at the end of today's podcast. Now, let's begin by acknowledging that the Venus Retrograde started last weekend, and I heard from many people that it was a rough start, that something occurred for you that was particularly hard, difficult or jolting as Venus stationed retrograde in the early morning hours on October 3rd. When a planet stations retrograde, its energy is often louder and more profound.

It can bring about some big messages, some deep emotions, some intensity, especially this Venus Retrograde in Scorpio, which is meant to invite us into the depths of our being. And so maybe in hindsight, you can see what that message might have been for you.

Now Venus is moving very slowly during this week, and she's going to journey back into Libra on October 25th.

So she's doing some excavating work this week, and the energies continue to remain intense because she's still involved in a fixed T-square, which I discussed on Monday's show.

Plus, she is the ruling planet of the upcoming Libra New Moon at 17 degrees of Libra on October 10th. So Venus Retrograde in Scorpio is going to continue to be significant this week, and it would be helpful to look at where she is transiting in your chart, where she's moving through this first decan of Scorpio, seven degrees back to zero degrees, because that is where some of the most important revelations are going to be coming up for you later in her journey. So actually those revelations and understandings might not be fully seen and known until December, but you'll certainly have a new perspective and better understanding of what you are transforming and evolving in Venusian themes in your life. So let's actually get into that a bit more because it is Libra season. And Libra is the energy of partnerships, collaborations, choices, conscious communication, and what you seek to co-create and equally share with others.

Libra is known for being the scales, including the scales of justice, bringing things into balance, a recognition of what's been lacking, what has been low in terms of priorities or energy, as well as understanding what you can now do to bring things into greater equilibrium in your life.

And of course, this is unique for each of us. But I thought it would be helpful to go into some of the Libra themes with deeper levels of inquiry and new questions to explore for yourself. Because if you have been into astrology for a while and you've been tracking the transits and the planets and you're aware of what astrology is all about, we can become unconsciously really comfortable with the themes and even our expectations of what each sign means or what each planet is about. But I thought this would be a perfect time to actually approach some of these energies differently.

So during Libra season, when we're aware that this is the time of year that we become more conscious of how we share our energies with others, it's also the perfect time to understand what is really healthy and supportive for you.

So, for example, with the partnership themes of Libra season, this would be a good time to ask yourself, what areas of my life do I need partnership in? Because you might not need partnership in all areas of your life. We are designed for partnership. We are social beings. We need interactions, bonding, exchanges. We need a support system. We need other people we can talk to about our lives, ourselves, our experiences. We need people. But partnership is where we're in an exchange with others that's based on common interests, common values, maybe common goals and endeavors. And so what areas of your life do you need partnership in?

Well, recognizing the areas of your life that you do not need as much partnership and you could see this in your astrology chart, based on a few things. You can of course identify where you have Libra energies in your chart by house or houses. Libra can be found in maybe a few houses in your chart, depending on the house system you use.

And that would be the areas of your life that you prefer to interact with others, that you want to bring people into your world, you want to share and work together.
