Hidden husk sets fire | THE WEEKLY SKY

Astrology and poetry for the week | September 27th - October 3rd

Hidden husk sets fire as dawn’s darkened edges seap. The year has crossed its pivot point under a MOON so FULL it splits us. That which remained damp, even in the dry summer heat, that we thought wouldn’t seed, registers now as relief and grief and hope and flame simultaneously.

After months of being diminished MARS, our life force, steps into fire. Into the sovereign and creative radiance of LEO where it will stay until late November. Desire refuses to be hidden in what it does. Creation now is laced with courage bringing full force of what we are into the visible world without apology. This energy acts from centre and trusts that centre is worth acting from. After the summer's extraordinary excavation of wound and worth and the right to exist with full presence, this is what that healing has been preparing.

We no longer allow our minds to wander towards the idle nor the snide. Our full states of consciousness deepen so that the question beneath the action becomes audible. This is the shift of MERCURY in SCORPIO where they linger in layer cake, through its own retrograde beginning October 24, not clearing until December. Things that ring around our minds need flow and space without containers. Notice what you notice and trust thought travels where it needs to go.

This week ends with VENUS stationing retrograde. Full my ears with roses, lay petals in my tongue. The review of what and who we love and value and whether our outer relational life reflects our inner truth begins. VENUS descends to starpoint and traces a sky she inked October to November 2018. Eight years ago. What was unresolved in love and in our relationship with our own worth in the autumn of 2018 colours to complete.

Here secrets are illuminating whether you want them to or not. Our nervous system's autumnal perceptiveness at the edge of things rolls VATA. This gifts perceptiveness that makes the VENUS retrograde's honest review possible. Its shadow is scatter, anxiety, and thirst that makes every revelation feel like loss. The distinction between the two is the work. Steal moments and kindle your vision because together we are never lost.

VENUS is retrograde. MARS is in LEO. The underground is being confronted.

What that means in your specific chart, in the life you are actually living right now, is written below for your SUN, your MOON, your RISING.
