MABON/FALL EQUINOX

Tuesday, we honor what’s known as the “pagan Thanksgiving”, Mabon. This also marks the Autumn Equinox: Daylight and darkness being equal. This symbolizes a time of balance, equality and harmony. 

In ancient times Mabon was a celebration of the second harvest (Lughnasadh was the first - celebrated August 1). Mabon was a time when farmers gathered hearty foods like grapes, apples, and pumpkins.  

Today’s celebrations extend gratitude for the abundance of Gaia - both literally and spiritually.  It’s also a perfect time amid the falling leaves to reflect on the Wheel of the Year, recognizing what serves you and letting go of the things and people that did not during the past twelve months. 

The Wheel coming to an end herald the perfect time to set intentions reflective of the waning light involving decrease and reduction, i.e. - releasing that which no longer serves you: toxic relationships, unhealthy habits or self-destructive behavior and/or beliefs.

Lunchtime presents an inconjunct between Venus in Scorpio and Uranus Rx in Gemini in the 12th and 7th houses, respectively. 

Venus is detrimental in Scorpio; however, it is also within its accidental exaltation in the 12th house, bringing an intense yet sympathetic nature to a situation—most likely involving a relationship—entailing the innovative yet unpredictable nature of Uranus. 

The suggestion here is to allow others (within reason) to be themselves today rather than attempting to fit them into our narrative. It’s one thing to change or expect change; however, the strength of spiritual maturity is within the ability to coexist. 

Venus in Scorpio desires emotional stability while Uranus Rx in Gemini requires freedom of expression. If we depend on others for spiritual or psychological stability, we run the risk of alienating them. On the other hand, if we ignore the emotional needs of others, we run the risk of damaging trust within a relationship. 

Coexistence is acknowledging both physical and spiritual needs of individuals while remaining true to ourselves. Awareness, honesty, and respect strengthen bonds and deepen partnerships.

This evening, Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo in the 7th & 6th respectively, creating an excellent atmosphere for communication in relation/partnerships. The big picture is much more important than daily routine, and clarity regarding what we want in life rises to the forefront. 

Travel is highly favored at this time, so a getaway would be perfect to celebrate the Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, and Sun’s ingress into Libra, the sign of balance and harmony tomorrow. 

Additionally, 17° is a degree associated with Leo and relates to its ruler, the Sun. According to Emily Ridout, it expands “creative personal expression and the enjoyment of life.” The presence of Jupiter in Leo can open up endless possibilities of expression from a heart-centered space. 

The Moon entering artistic and altruistic Aquarius this afternoon enhances this evening’s aspect.

TUESDAY'S ASPECT

Late afternoon, the Sun in Virgo inc Chiron Rx in Aries on the Anaretic degree 29°, marking the ending of a sign, emphasizing karmic lessons and challenges involving decisions testing our resolve.  

 The Sun in Virgo is conscientious of surroundings and details, rarely missing the fine print. Chiron backtracking through Aries revisits degrees (29° - 26°) relevant to potential wounds of self, i.e. — self-esteem, self-expression, self-assertion until January 06, 2027, when it will station direct @ 26° Aries. 

The 28th degree (October 12 - November 02, 2026) is attributed to the Moon, turning our attention toward the domestic aspect of our lives through nurturing and caring for family and self. Because love begins at home, this is a very important degree to solidly ground into the retrograde and hone our intuition. 

The 27th degree (November 03 - 27, 2026) is connected to Mercury, and redirects our focus on personal expression, communication, and curiosity for new means and avenues for accomplishment. This degree enables us to review our choices and methods to course-correct if needed. 

The 26th degree (November 27, 2026 - January 06, 2027) is associated with Venus, infusing the energy of stationing with love, abundance, and appreciation of beauty. The lessons we’ve learned become apparent here, and our gratitude for the opportunity begins to amplify. 

Chiron will cross back over the above degrees for a final time before re-entering Taurus April 14, 2027. 

Our minds have the ability to transform any experience to change our emotional history in order to heal the past. Once that chronical has been altered, it has the ability to regenerate into a new perspective, which is what an inc calls for: Adjustment. 

I’m not saying the situation will no longer exist. I am saying our emotional attachment, that triggering wound which festers whenever the scab is knocked off, heals for good once we’ve adjusted it. 

Facing whatever circumstance involved, from inadequacy, doubt, and low self-esteem/worth may prove challenging, especially if the wound is deep. But we have the strength to rise above these issues if we choose to utilize our innate resources.

Astraea Rx re-enters Aquarius @ 9:12 PM, Friday night via Aquarius’ natural 11th house realm, representing goals, friends, wishes and hopes, love received and circumstances beyond our control. 

In Greek Mythology, Astraea, known as the Star Goddess or Maiden, was renowned as the virgin god of justice, innocence, purity, and precision. She was beloved by the Greeks and thought to represent the Light in the world during what scholars have referred to as ‘The Golden Age’.

Full Harvest Moon 03° 37’ Aries perfects in the 4th House (Placidus) of home, endings, property, ancestry, and the latter part of life is the setting for this cosmic occurrence. An increase of intuitive and psychic activity is present when the Moon is involved. 

The caveat for this placement is emotional aggression, so check your words and actions rather than forcing them on others.

If you missed my earlier post about Astraea re-entering Aquarius, it's linked in the Nerd Report below. 

Tonight, following Astraea’s re-entry into Aquarius, the Sun in Libra opposite Neptune in Aries, creating polarity and posing a potential for quixotic ideals. 

The Sun in Libra is moderate and further dignified in the 5th house; thus, highly magnetic. Neptune in Aries, even during retrograde, can be radical, and in the 11th highly unrealistic and starry-eyed in regard to visions and goals. 

With the sun shining so brightly in our eyes, we may not be viewing reality, but our idea of reality. This can be a confusing aspect portending power struggles. It’s not a good time for business, contractual agreements, or even relationship commitments, regardless of how hard another may be pushing us. 

Avoid escapism just to bypass confrontation and genuinely seek solitude for a more inwardly spiritual connection rather than outward. This may entail enforcing boundaries for emotional protection. 

Tomorrow morning brings a new day.

If you missed my earlier Full Harvest Moon in Aries post, it's linked in the Nerd Report below. 

Today’s Aspect: 

Fallen Sun in Libra trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius. Because the Sun is fallen (opposite its exaltation) in Libra, it may experience difficulty expressing its real nature. It’s like staying in someone’s home where you do not feel comfortable being yourself. 

Powerful Pluto takes the reins here by leading us deeply into ourselves in search of what truly inspires us and how we can transform knowledge into accomplishment. 

Expect revelations from these deep dives that will serve us in the future as well as now if we choose to apply them.

Mars will enter the Lion’s Den Sunday night @ 10:49 PM EDT via the second house of Taurus ruled by Venus.  Mars burns brightly with courage, determination, and creative action in this realm—Here he takes control and has a strong desire to be seen and heard. 

Mars didn’t station retrograde this year but will early January 2027 in Virgo. This retrograde will bring Mars back into Leo’s creative den late February, where it will remain until mid-May 2027, when it re-enters Virgo. Mars will not enter Libra until mid-July, which means that over half of Mars’ 2027 transits will be spent in Leo and Virgo.

If you missed my earlier Mars enters Leo post, it’s linked in the Nerd Report below. 

Early morning, Mars makes his final aspect in Cancer before entering Leo tonight: A square to Chiron Rx in Aries on the anaretic degree, bringing energetic healing to an aspect within the relationship we have with ourselves. 

Mars is fallen in Cancer; therefore, assumes more of its protective nature instead of its combative urge. Cancer is domestic, and Chiron, the wounded warrior in Aries (wound of self) retrograding the 7th house represents healing an relational aspect within us—an opportunity to reconcile discord or clarify misunderstandings before moving on.

Profound relationships aren't just with others but include the one with our self. 

Because this occurs on the anaretic degree portending Mars’ imminent ingress into Leo, we may feel a restless urge to complete or come to terms with an aspect prior to moving on. Are we reticent about expressing ourselves? Does our self-esteem need a dose of courage? Are we self-aware that we may be holding ourselves back? 

We definitely don’t desire to take it with us. Mars entering Leo will provide us with the courage and spotlight to be seen and heard. But still, we must be willing to step up on the stage to be seen and heard.
