This Week in the Stars (10.28.24 - 11.3.24)

THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON

Tasting Notes: The Week of October 28th - November 3rd, 2024
This week is Mercurial as hell, apropos of the election’s imminent approach. Please join me in voting early for Harris/Walz. Our system is deeply broken, and there is no perfect candidate, but what is on the line is profound. In order for us to build a system that works for more people, it’s imperative to vote in a way that affords us the rights to strive towards greater change.

With Mercury making waves through its various transits, information will be flying at us from all directions. Expect surprising revelations, powerful insights, and perhaps a few curveballs that challenge your current perspective. We once again find ourselves living in an Instant Pot this week, but we are reminded that pressure and grit create pearls. Are you up for the transformation?

This week is deep, dark, and profound. Will you join me under the velvet night?

Transits this week:
Monday, October 28: Mars in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces, Venus in Sagittarius square Saturn in Pisces
Wednesday, October 30: Mercury in Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus
Thursday, October 31: Mercury in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces
Friday, November 1: New Moon in Scorpio
Saturday, November 2: Mercury in Scorpio trine Mars in Cancer, Mercury in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn, Mercury moves into Sagittarius
Sunday, November 3: Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn, Venus in Sagittarius opposite Jupiter in Gemini, Mars enters Leo

But, what is the moon up to?
As the moon wanes, she invites us to rest and regenerate before her renewal on Friday. This is a perfect time for self-care and reconnecting with our inner selves, surrendering all that lies beyond our control. On Friday we welcome a new cycle, ready to make magic once more.

I’m already exhausted by this week, y’all. There are SO MANY TRANSITS and so much 29° activation. (This was supposed to be completed yesterday, but there is just so much to write about your girl had to add a whole writing sesh). If you thought last week was a ride…hold on to your hats.

Monday, October 28th: Mars Trine Neptune, Venus Square Saturn The week starts with some fog, but it does encourage us to trust our intuition in our actions. I’m talking about Mars, the planet of action, meeting up with illusion-building Neptune. Both of these planets are in water signs, creating a “go with the flow,” almost trance-induced type of day. It’s ideal for getting lost in creative projects, free-styling in the kitchen, meditating, and daydreaming. But remember—Neptune likes to blur the lines, so keep a grip on reality as you move through this one. Who’s to say what is just a Neptunian illusion?

Shortly after, wild-at-heart Venus in Sagittarius squares off with slow-and-steady Saturn in Pisces. Venus in Sag craves freedom, passion, and adventure, but task-master Saturn presents business and boundaries that require attention. This clash between Venus and Saturn might feel heavy today in the realms of relationship, finances and our values. Disappointments or roadblocks could bring valuable clarity around what you genuinely need and want. Standards, boundaries, and commitments all come into the spotlight, giving you a chance to reset your compass if it’s been drifting, keeping you heart steady through the haze.
