Star Codes
this Halloween weekend, though only a few are visitors from beyond the grave. The veils between the living and the dead are thin at this halfway point of autumn, the traditional Celtic end of the year, but what truly haunts us are our memories, our worries, or a poignant awareness of our responsibilities.
Longer nights and drifting golden leaves often synchronize with melancholia under the Scorpio sun at this time of year. Expansive Jupiter in Scorpio takes year-end reviews even deeper, stirring memories that need healing. So let’s listen to our ghosts. Whether they’re haunts or a subtler form of history, we should honor, respect, and learn from them. But don’t let them run the show. One purpose of Halloween is to face our worst fears and come to some peace before the long winter sets in, then sweeten the future with treats for the younger generation.
The weekend begins in a reserved, thoughtful, but generally friendly mood under a sociable Aquarius moon. This collective moon encourages Halloween parties and Samhain ceremonies on Friday and Saturday. The moon enters more sensitive Pisces on Sunday night as our parties grow less wild, our hearts become more sensitive, and our meditations and ceremonies deepen.
The moon heads into combustible Aries on Wednesday. Some confrontations can simmer dangerously, while a painful situation can pry us out of old emotional patterns and new scandals may shake the status quo. Let’s learn from the spirits of the past and seek a healthier, sweeter future.
An Aquarius moon encourages us to see the bigger picture, while Mercury in Scorpio makes us painfully aware of all problems. Enjoy energy midday, but be ready to honor emotional ghosts tonight. Halloween parties can be great, but frivolity can grate on our nerves.
It can help just to keep our hands busy. As the moon makes no major aspects, it may be hard to build momentum. We may wander together, each alone in our solitude. We become more sociable tonight, ready for a good party more than a good conversation. Pay attention to safety late tonight.
Be careful around tempers and dangerous situations and work around an accident-prone edge as fast-moving Mercury challenges Mars this morning. The mood softens as the moon heads into sensitive Pisces in late afternoon; sense the thinning of the veils and the thickening of imagination.
This is a sensitive and fantastical day. We need safety, room to process, and appreciation for our flights of fancy. Keep practical expectations low, and don’t push people past their comfort zones. Look for new information around the vulnerability of people or places, but confirm all facts.
People are distracted. We drift and dream inefficiently at work, but our hearts may be unusually open. Enjoy the costumes and share magic as the Pisces moon trines Mercury. Spend a grateful moment with memories of. the departed; honor ancestors.
The mood can be volatile. People are ticked off easily, speaking from their nerves more than facts. Because it’s hard to maintain control, some will try extra hard, though we’ll find it more productive to work with the flow.
Emotions run high as old issues and old ghosts walk with us. It may be time to let go of previous patterns, which have prevented us from expressing ourselves with honesty. This evening, unexpected news can unsettle us and shift our perspectives.
