Weekly Hello

Halloween is upon us. It’s time to hollow out pumpkins, go trick or treating and dress up as ghosts and ghoulies or princes and priestesses, but the origins of Halloween go back some 2000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. For the ancient Celts, 31 October was the day the veil between the real world and the spirit world thinned allowing the spirits of the dead to return.  

It is the season of Scorpio, a sign uniquely associated with the underworld through its ruler Pluto. Death and rebirth, transformation, these are Scorpio-Pluto themes.

On Monday a full moon on the Scorpio-Taurus axis takes place, and it is precisely squaring Pluto, so we all have an opportunity to enter our own private underworlds and discover the treasure therein. (Pluto’s kingdom contained great riches, but to access them involved a dark and perilous journey.) It is a time when secrets are revealed and deep truths are discovered.

Push often comes to shove on such a configuration, whether we’re talking personally or collectively. And the actions we take tend to be irrevocable. So, before you tell the boss what you think of her, think again! And then there’s events on the world’s stage. Transformation can be a wonderful thing turning a dark and difficult situation into one of light and hope. But there is also the potential for extreme acts that take us to some very dark places indeed.

I’ve taken a look at this full moon from the perspective of all twelve signs on my current video, so head to my YouTube channel. {Link below}
