Grand Cross in Fixed Signs - October 2018

This month, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and the Sun are parading across Uranus retrograde in Taurus, through the first degrees of Scorpio, squaring simultaneously the Lunar Nodal Axis.

The four signs involved in the Grand Cross are the Zodiac Stubborn. The hold the highest of each season, the hottest of the Summer, the coldest of the Winter, the most beautiful of the Spring, the sharpest of the Fall. They're famous for not giving in.

Here comes Uranus, the electric Lord of Lightening, striking the massive Earth in Taurus, sending its burning beams of power across the Zodiac into the house of the Stinger.

Emotions were stirred up a couple of days right after the New Moon in 15º Libra on October 8th, when She had to face the unexpected wrath coming from Uranus. Then came Mercury running fast to bring the resulting message from a deep research down in a the dungeons of Hades. He's followed by the most beautiful lady of the Zodiac, who's coming back slowly and nonchalantly to her house of Libra where she apparently forgot something. Only that before getting there, she has to walk under the unforgiving rays of the Supreme Captain of our Ship, the Sun, who may singe her a bit, but most of all, will recharge her batteries, make her stronger and more daring on the way. When Venus then arrives home, she'll show her power to convince!

Meanwhile, the Rahu and Ketu receive the strokes as well, or send their fated demands to the houses where the challenge is striking. Rahu, the North Node of the Moon, is pulling us to become more generous, to reorient our hearts in the direction of our true identity, to follow our feelings in making decisions, and encouraging us develop leadership qualities. Ketu, the South Node of the Moon, is asking us to let go of the mooring line, to drop the hindrance of our unhealthy attachments, not to trust so much in our rational mind, but consult our heart more often.  (For more on this, read my previous article on the Leo/Aquarius Nodal Axis.) This tension is triggered by the opposing planets. Something's got to give...

We've been pressured to change directions. For each of us, the tension and pressure is about a different issue, depending where those planets and points fall in our Natal Chart, and what Natal planets or points they activate. For example, Leo Rising Sign will be challenged to change something to balance private and public life in order to affirm their own regal identity. For all signs, the themes of Love, Relationships, Finances, assets and Values are at stake.
