The Stars This Week: "Gather Information" - October 6 - October 12, 2008

[I Have A Dream]

Gather Information


10/06/08 - 10/12/08

Because Mercury is still retrograde this week, its square with worldly Jupiter on October 6 and the conjunction to the Libra Sun on the same day shows that you will be busy evaluating recent conversations. Keep the bigger picture in mind to prevent misunderstandings. In the meantime, romance gets top billing with lovely Venus forming a sextile to Saturn on October 6, a harmonious trine to Uranus on October 9, and a square to mystical Neptune on October 11.


October 6: Sun and Mercury square Jupiter

The Sun and Mercury are both traveling through fair-minded Libra, so there's an emphasis on reducing conflict and getting along with others. Yet with this square to Jupiter in ambitious Capricorn, this peace-making sensibility is challenged to develop a practical plan and a worldlier point of view. Watch for accusations of naivete to surface when you are at your most diplomatic.


October 6: Sun conjunct Mercury

Mercury, the traveling ambassador, comes home to the Sun with plenty of information that has been collected during the current retrograde period. It's time to begin planning without acting on anything just yet.


October 6: Venus sextile Saturn October 9;
Venus trine Uranus October 11;
Venus square Neptune

Your romantic life would make an interesting movie this week! Venus in passionate Scorpio forms a beneficial sextile to serious Saturn, giving you plenty of grounded energy to firm up your relationship commitments. With the Uranus trine to Venus, make room for individual expression, but be careful with the square to Neptune that you don't put rose-colored glasses on and gloss over something that you really should be paying attention to!

1. Thanks IHAD

This horoscope seems timely. I am in the beginning of the middle (or is that the other way around?) of a big product launch. I have been working on this for almost 2 years and I finally almost have my product and selling tools together. I am still a little unhappy with one item, but it is really coming together. I still have part of my business plan to complete (the financials). I am hesitant and trying to figure out how and when to move forward.

I am trying to bring LED replacement lightbulbs to market and the sums of money required are staggering. But somehow, I keep thinking if I can break it down into small enough chunks, I can figure out a way to make it happen. Some time ago, I decided that I would just move forward until I couldn't think of anything else to do. I still have some openings and places to go. I am just hesitant as to when and maybe even how start - small or with corporations or government or try all three simultaneously?

I'm so involved with the political campaigns right now that I am just almost overwrought with that and my partner's and my current business; but I am afraid to wait because I have completed the line for my factory and if I don't get in there, someone else will.

Any thoughts? Intuitions? Inspiration? Advice? I'm definitely looking for a sign!

2. Hi, BareNakedLiberal! I'm not "getting" anything. (I usually don't.)

The only thing that comes to mind is to be really careful of what you do during Mercury retrograde. I personally would try to hold off the launch until after it's completely over, but other people would say that there's no need to do that.

Good luck, and congratulations for getting it this far! :)

That could explain all the crap I've been going through and anxiously wanting to put behind me.

Here's an article that describes the different phases of it:

4. Well, isn't this appropriate!

Mr. MG has already accused me of being naive in trying to talk to and understand the neighbor we've been butting heads with.

Just...waiting for Mercury to go direct...waiting...waiting...
