Taking Back Personal Agency: Astrology Forecast October 10th – 17th, 2021

October 11th, 2021

By Lorna Bevan

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

As the Lord of Time and Karma turns forward in Aquarius on Monday October 11th, recognise that the unprecedented events of 2021 have all been fuel for your own growth. Have faith that, as you faced Saturn’s karmic lessons with grace during his long retrograde from May 23rd, you’ve been shaping your future because when energy recedes – when you’re lost, fed up or full of grief – a new inclination and impetus is always quietly coalescing underneath. And if you had a meltdown or three, that’s okay too.

In 3D, Saturn was seen as the strict Master Teacher, framing us as children waiting to be guided by the hand of fate. Think of the people you’ve given your power to, the rigid belief systems you’ve accepted or the rules you’ve swallowed whole. It was all about restriction, hard work, roadblocks and lack.

 In 5D, Saturn represents:

  • your evolving potential
  • amplified intentionality
  • having the free will to act as your own sponsor, guide, coach and mentor
  • enlightened Self-interest
  • the leverage you’ve been waiting for to disentangle yourself from what no longer fits
  • your Flow Magic – the sweet spot between surrender to life as it unfolds and full on engagement/participation

Often your mind is loud, while your intuition whispers. The idea that seems soft and comfortable, the one that sounds appealing, is often the very thing that will end up holding you back. The other quiet idea that pops up, the one to which you say, “oh maybe later,” and make excuses as to why you can’t do it, is often the very action which will help you evolve.

As Saturn goes direct, it is the time to take those actions. Nothing grows in comfort zones! This has been the perfect time for tying up the loose ends that have been keeping you rooted in the past.

 Saturn Direct is the time to check the progress of your process.

Chandra Symbol Saturn Direct AQUARIUS 7:

A woman burning a book of black magic.

 “Karma works by indirection. We draw to ourselves what we previously activated and as it comes back, we curse the reflection. Such gestures multiply. They gather force and momentum. And soon we have fixed ideas about what is pulling us back and what is carrying us forward. Before you know it, you have become partisan, taking up this side against this other side, swept up in the drama. And you even become sure in your mind that whole segments of existence are bad and terrible and must be renounced completely. But there must come a point in the journey when the mind strips away its disguise and you know once again that all is toward the good and nothing can ever harm you, unless you insist upon it.”

Aries Weekly Forecast: October 10-17, 2021

It’s all about the people in your life at the moment with Sun, Mercury and Mars powering up your relationship zone. These are the people you have a deeper connection with or a long- term commitment to, such as life partners or business partners. On Monday 11th, Saturn finally turns forward, easing the recent roadblocks, crossed wires and misunderstandings in your dealings with friends, networks, groups and online tribes. Venus has moved into Sagittarius giving you itchy feet and the desire to get out and broaden your horizons. Make some definite plans now to take a trip or to break out of your comfort zone after the doozy of the annual Full Moon in your own sign on November 20th.

Make a note of October 15th-a day to celebrate with those you love.

Gemini Weekly Forecast: October 10-17, 2021

Relationships of every kind will get a boost now that Venus has returned to your opposite sign of Sagittarius. On Thursday 15th, the Sun in Libra makes a beautiful link to Jupiter in Aquarius from your 5th to 9th House. You may hear good news about a piece of work you created a while ago around this date. Make a deliberate effort to go out and socialise, trying out new places and different events to shake you out of your comfort zone. Saturn in your 8th House turns forward on the 11th, loosening his grip on your finances. Don’t suddenly go totally overboard and splurge but earmark some money for a luxury or treat with friends.

Enjoying life’s small pleasures.

Cancer Weekly Forecast: October 10-17, 2021

With Mercury retrograde until October 18th at the base of your chart, you’re dealing with issues related to your family of origin.

Saturn turns forward in your opposite sign on Monday 11th aligning with Venus in your 6th House of health and routines, so start making some practical tweaks to your daily life. This could be a new eating or exercise regime, visiting a heath practitioner for a check up or streamlining your time to free up as much as possible. Find ways that make you feel good to de-stress and relax and then incorporate them into every day.

Regrouping.

Leo Weekly Forecast: October 10-17, 2021

As Saturn turns forward in your opposite sign on Monday 11th, your partner-personal or business-could soon have some news that will have a knock-on effect on you. It’s likely to arrive around October 15th. Wait until after October 18th, when Jupiter turns forward alongside Mercury, to have a conversation about the long- term implications. Venus in your angle of love, romance and enjoyment until November is giving you the green light to take one special relationship to the next level.

Virgo Weekly Forecast: October 10-17, 2021

Keep in mind that your personal planet, Mercury, is retrograde until October 18th in your angle of values, income and resources.

Go back over your financial accounts to see if you’ve missed anything or ask for a debt to be repaid in full. The positive news is that Saturn turns forward on Monday 11th in your 5th House of creativity. In the days following, many of the roadblocks, glitches and delays that have frustrated you this summer will fade away. All to the good, as on October 18th both Jupiter and Mercury turn direct bringing opportunities your way and making this a very busy season.

Checking the bottom line.

Last week your personal planet Pluto turned forward, this week Saturn does the same followed by Jupiter and Mercury on October 18th.Frame it as a release mechanism, ridding you day by day of the frustrating glitches, roadblocks and delays that have held you back recently. Remember to pace yourself and take it slowly, as the Sun, our Light source, is still in your hidden 12th House until October 23rd.With Saturn and Jupiter at the base of your solar chart, start looking at plans for a relocation or renovation that somehow got shelved earlier this year. Are they still relevant ? Can you update your dream? Take your time as events around the Aries Full Moon on October 20th could change your perspective.

More time reflecting, less time doing.

Sagittarius Weekly Forecast: October 10-17, 2021

This is definitely a week to have fun, influence people and to be at the heart of events at your optimistic best. Venus is now back in Sagittarius adding to your attractor quotient and making others much more willing than usual to listen to what you have to say and that’s plenty! With your personal planet Jupiter slowing to turn forward on the 18th alongside Mercury and before that Saturn in your money angle loosening the purse strings, it’s all to play for.

Be sure to get your ideas out there any way you can and follow up offers, leads or opportunities.

Enjoying the halo effect.

Red planet Mars is at the pinnacle of your chart in a once in 2 years reminder that life is too short to let it drift by without making a difference, however small or however local. Your own planet Saturn is turning forward on Monday October 11th with Jupiter following along with Mercury on the 18th.Both Saturn and Jupiter are in your income angle and the days between October 15th-19th could ease your financial situation quite a bit.

To spend or save? that’s the question.

Time to think big.
