for the week beginning 3 October 2010"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Mercury enters Libra today so the day may start with a cool rational look at life.\u00a0 Certainly our Libran Prime Minister David Cameron appeared on our screens this morning ahead of the Conservative Party Conference urging a cool rational approach to politics.\u00a0 That may at least get us through the major part of the day.\u00a0 This evening however there is a conjunction between Venus and Mars at 12 degrees Scorpio (people with birthdays on 5 November be particularly aware).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This aspect is about balancing our male and female sides in the best of zodiac signs, but in Scorpio it is positively tantric or even gender-bending.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0If the question a couple of weeks ago was \u201cWho do you think you are?\u201d, today\u2019s question is \u201cWhat is your sexual identity?\u201d\u00a0 First time regression clients are sometimes surprised to have found themselves in a session in a body of the opposite sex.\u00a0 They may not have thought deeply about that possibility before.\u00a0 Feminists may find they have contributed to the oppression of women in past lives, and peacemakers may find they were conscripted onto battlefields before.\u00a0 For men are from Mars and women from Venus, aren\u2019t they?\u00a0 And if Mars = Red and Venus = Blue then Mars + Venus = Purple, and purple can come in different shades depending how pink or blue the emphasis is.\u00a0 We lost Geminian Tony Curtis this week whose most famous role was as a cross-dresser in Some Like it Hot.\u00a0 In his private life he was a womanizer who later in life went to Hawaii for inspiration as a painter.\u00a0 Thus he blurred in my mind this week with Paul Gauguin whose new exhibition opened at the Tate Modern this week, who was also a Geminian, a womanizer, \u00a0a big drinker, and who loved and painted in Hawaii.\u00a0 Art is one of the main expressions for the planet Venus, and you could do worse than take to the paintbrush this evening, and forego the absinthe.\u00a0 On Tuesday morning Mercury squares Pluto, and later in the week it conjuncts Saturn: a mental mirror of last week\u2019s aspects with the Sun.\u00a0 The Venus\/Mars conjunction and the New Moon lift this week, and though we have repetitions from last week, the energy is not as stagnant (hands up anyone who found last week stagnant!\u00a0 I found the exercises in Anne Jirsch\u2019s book \u201cThe Future is Yours\u201d helped me out of it).\u00a0 If you are buying and selling, you\u2019ll find things easier to understand this week, though there may still be difficulties moving merchandise.\u00a0 Mercury squaring Pluto will urge you to look at the meaning and ethics of your business practices.\u00a0 \u00a0Tony Bennett\u2019s voice has been hauntingly blaring from our televisions this week as he sings \u201c<em>I walk along the street of sorrow The boulevard of broken dreams Where gigolo and gigolette Can take a kiss without regret So they forget their broken dreams<\/em>\u201d all to advertise the glorious return of \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d with Sir Alan Sugar on Wednesday.\u00a0\u00a0 But the Mercury square Pluto will be too late to inform the hapless contestants as the series was filmed a while ago and delayed because of a political controversy just before our Election this year.\u00a0 The New Moon in Libra takes place on Thursday 7<sup>th<\/sup> at 14 degrees Libra (people with birthdays on 7 October itself be particularly aware).\u00a0 In relationship, it could be a day to propose or renew vows, if romance has not been vanquished.\u00a0 One\u2019s relationship with oneself of course is of utmost importance, and will also be renewed that day.\u00a0 Renewals of love and gestures of affection are especially urged for action on Thursday, as on the morning of Friday 8<sup>th<\/sup> Venus stands stationary, prior to moving retrograde.\u00a0 This means that Venusian activities (love, art and money) could take a turn backwards from Friday, and until 19 November.\u00a0 It depends how securely rooted in reality the love actually is.\u00a0 Whether it is coming from the heart, the mind, or elsewhere.\u00a0 The second setback on Friday comes from a conjunction of Mercury and Saturn at 8 degrees Libra (people with birthdays on 1st October be particularly aware).\u00a0 The conjunction of the Sun and Saturn last Friday encouraged us to concentrate and train our consciousness, and this conjunction highlights a need for mental focus.\u00a0 If there is a skill which has eluded us in the past, it urges us to keep at it and keep working on our blocks until we \u201cget it\u201d.\u00a0 We may not necessarily \u201cget it\u201d on Friday, but our steps will be part of the process.\u00a0 In contrast, the evening gives us a semi-sextile between Jupiter and Neptune.\u00a0 This signals a change of emphasis philosophically, seeing things differently and in a wider way which may not initially be comfortable for us, until we realize we are adjusting to the bigger picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercury
