The Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio, the Full Moon in Taurus and Venus Retrogrades into Libra (#382)

<p>This week we&#39;re working with eight transits, four of which we&#39;re highlighting: the Sun moves into Scorpio, Mercury begins its Retrograde at 20° Scorpio, the Full Moon rises in Taurus, and Venus Retrogrades back home into Libra. Our Degree of the Week is 20°, the Scorpio degree, where Mercury will sit for seven straight days. There&#39;s no hiding now.</p><p><br></p><p>We open with a few words about a heavy week here in Bend, and why sensitivity is a gift rather than a problem.</p><p><br></p><p>Before the Sun goes deep, it clears the air with the North Node and faces Chiron in Aries for the ninth and final time in this cycle. Then on Friday, the day of Venus, the Sun meets Venus Retrograde, and the question rises: where are we most vulnerable, and who in our lives is worthy of seeing it?</p><p><br></p><p>The Full Moon in Taurus lands at 2°, the exact degree of the Solar Eclipse on this same date four years ago. Who was in your life in October 2022 who isn&#39;t anymore?</p><p><br></p><p>Show yourself, but only to the ones who are worthy of seeing all of you.</p><p><br></p><p>(21:40) Venus Retrograde in Scorpio Square Pluto in Aquarius 03° – October 16 – 21 (Friday – Wednesday) – Monday, October 19.</p><p><br></p><p>September 15 - Venus in Scorpio Square Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius 03°<br>October 19 - Venus Retrograde in Scorpio Square Pluto in Aquarius 03°<br>December 9 - Venus in Scorpio Square Pluto in Aquarius 03°</p><p><br></p><p>(27:00) The Sun in Libra Trine the North Node in Aquarius 28° – October 19 – 22 (Monday – Thursday) – Wednesday, October 21.</p><p><br></p><p>(32:07) The Sun in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in Aries 28° – October 19 – 22 (Monday – Thursday) – Wednesday, October 21.</p><p><br></p><p>Previous times that the Sun in Libra formed an Opposition with Chiron in Aries:</p><p><br></p><p>Sept 23, 2018 – The Sun in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in 0°07&#39; (Libra/Aries)<br>Sept 27, 2019 – The Sun in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in 3°39&#39; (Gemini)<br>Sept 29, 2020 – The Sun in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in 7°09&#39; (Libra)<br>Oct 3, 2021 – The Sun in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in 10°39&#39; (Capricorn)<br>Oct 7, 2022 – The Sun in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in 14°09&#39; (Taurus)<br>Oct 11, 2023 – The Sun in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in 17°40&#39; (Leo)<br>Oct 14, 2024 – The Sun in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in 21°14&#39; (Sagittarius)<br>Oct 17, 2025 – The Sun in Libra Opposite Chir
