In general and on a mundane level, events are likely to happen around October 2, 8-9, 15-16, 23 and/or 29-30. During this month of October there are no planetary configurations of stationing outer planets active that could affect some specific birthdays. Generally speaking, October 3, 6 and 11 are "less lucky" days. Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished. In the 45° dial, there are the following powerful midpoint combinations between outer planets going on that will mark this month's Zeitgeist (and thus work out the whole month):
Around October 2, Mercury at 2° Scorpio squares Mars at 2° Leo while later on at the same day Mercury will reach 3° Leo and square Pluto at 3° Aquarius. If you are born around January 22, February 20-21, March 22-23, April 22, May 23, June 23-24, July 25, August 25-26, September 25, October 25-26, November 24-25 or December 24, you may experience, among others: a cold or flu-like symptoms, have a tense argument or dispute, be very angry, the bullying, be too critical, act instinctively out of survival mode, experience falsehood, or face some memory loss. The attentive reader may notice that this planetary combination can only happen when Mercury is the apex planet of a T-square involving the Mars-Pluto opposition. Indeed, this Mars-Pluto opposition will be exact around October 3. The Mercury-Mars-Pluto combination (T-square) in fixed signs in early degrees coincides with, among others: fanatism, the nervous-breakdown, the huge mental strain, the tenacious pursuit of your plans, to push through with full force, to not shun abusive behavior or language. If you are born around January 23, March 8-9, April 23-24, June 9, July 26, September 11, October 26-27 or December 10, the current T-square may affect you most in some way. Venus at 8° Scorpio stations and turns backward around the October 3 Last Quarter Moon at 10° Cancer (widely squaring Saturn at 11° Aries), while Mars at 3° Leo opposes Pluto at 3° Aquarius. Anytime Venus stations, we don't recommend buying anything expensive or of value at all. The product(s) or good(s) will, after all, not be to your liking, will not satisfy you, will be overvalued or may have issues or defects. Anyway, what you now buy will not fully serve your desires or intentions. It's best to avoid beautifications too, of whatever kind. During the station of Venus, relationships and finances will be reviewed. Often, the retrograde period of Venus indicates a testing time for relationships with insecurities popping up more easily. Even if you find love around the station, wait till Venus moves forward again before really deciding. The degree area of the station suggests a fortunate development but it has a catch also. This degree area tends to disrupt (physical) comfort, so that this can become an uncomfortable period in time, materially or physically speaking, as well. If you are Taurus or Libra or have Taurus or Libra rising, the station of Venus, your planetary ruler, will affect you most. You may not feel too well and/or things won't go as you wish for now. The Last Quarter Moon suggests a restrictive lunation period (till the next lunation that is). The domestic area, home and the family may be affected in some way with some illness in the family or some home repairs to take into account. Following mundane astrology, Mars-Pluto oppositions often coincided with power and/or internet outages. Around October 4, the Sun at 11° Libra opposes Saturn at 11° Aries, suggesting separation, someone leaving your world, facing a distant or detached bond. Most Sun-Saturn oppositions coincided with being rejected, being fired, abdication, resignation, retiring and the like in the past. Hence, following mundane astrology, some politicians, celebrities or VIPs may resign or take leave, cross over (etc.) here and there. Between October 3-5, the current astrological configurations indicate, among others: news about a death, the fatal accident, the loss of work, to be estranged, the karmic or fated separation, to cancel plans or the annulled plans, the unfulfilled longings, the severe traffic or transportation accident (air crashes incl.), to feel hopeless, to resign or quit, the shooting, the severe chaos. If you are born around January 24, March 9-10, April 24-25, June 10, July 27, September 12, October 27-28 or December 11, the current astrological configuration may affect you one way or the other. Around October 6, there are sunny spells. Around October 7, Mercury and Venus conjoin at 8° Scorpio. There can be enjoyable news, a gift, nice communication or talks, a package or parcel arriving. If you are born around January 28, March 13-14, April 28-29, June 14, July 31, September 15-16, October 31 - November 1 or December 15, beware of some tension in your relationships or with a loved one, irritation, a message about a separation, departure or leave-taking, among others. Following astrometeorology, there can be cooler and windy weather. There are clouds in the sky around October 8 and 9. Around the October 10 New Moon at 17° Libra, retrograde Venus at 7° Scorpio squares Mars at 7° Leo. This New Moon phase is not a peaceful one, not only because of the difficult degree area, but also because of the Venus-Mars square with retrograde Venus being in the sign of its detriment. There are disputes, fights, attacks, accidents and disruptions but it's also time for questioning how society, a community or a group of people (like co-workers, families, members of a society) function or interact. Relationships (the personal ones but also the collective ones) will be tested to the max. What are your values? Do you go with raw emotions, impulses and value judgments? Or, has your consciousness transcended that phase already? Around October 11, there are sunny spells. It can become very hectic with lots of interventions, calls and talks, nervous tension, buzz and accidents Around October 13. It's a hectic and tense day. Around October 16, heavy Pluto stations at 3° Aquarius and turns direct again. This stationing position of Pluto is eruptive and disruptive. Following mundane astrology, stationing Pluto often coincided with intense storm(s), affecting lots of people all at once in the past. Also, in the past, stationing Pluto coincided with earthquakes, resignations or abdications, leave-takings of celebrities, politicians or higher-ups and VIPs. Chances are scandals or fraud will be made public. Some underground or dark activities may come out into the open. There can be huge mass gatherings or manifestations around the station as well. If you are Scorpio or have Scorpio rising, this station may affect you most. Some of you may not feel too well now and things won't go to your liking. Around the October 18 First Quarter Moon at 25° Capricorn, there can be upsetting events, affecting a mass of people. Following astrometeorology, there can be heavy wind or storm here and there. Around October 20, Venus at 3° Scorpio squares stationing Pluto at 3° Aquarius, its dispositor. Venus-Pluto aspects tend to be forceful and too intense, especially in relationships, causing disruptions. Women need to be cautious in their encounters and relationships (in the widest sense). Some of you may be swayed easily, may go missing, and/or experience a tragic unrequited love. Also beware of (financial) blackmail. Financial issues may be part of the Venus-Pluto aspect as both planets rule money and possessions (those of yourself and those of others). Following astrometeorology, there are sunny spells. The Sun enters Scorpio around October 23 and will meet retrograde Venus at 0° Scorpio, the so-called 'Gates of death' the day after. It looks like the Sun and Venus were scheduled to have a meeting/appointment, or were obliged or meant to meet. Who represents the Sun and Venus will become clear around this day. Because the meeting happens at 0° Scorpio, taxes, insurances, loans and debt can be on the agenda. All 0° in fixed signs are existential degrees. In many instances this degree area of 0° Scporpio indicates regeneration, revamping a situation clear out, to start over. It also suggests the end of a relationship to start over with someone else. It's about swapping partners. Following astrometeorology, there are clouds in the sky. Around the same day of October 24, Mercury stations at 20° Scorpio and turns backward. If you are Gemini or Virgo or have Gemini or Virgo rising, you may not feel too well around the station and things may not always go as wished. Don't take any decisions around the station because chances are you might have to reconsider later on. Following mundane astrology, stationing Mercury coincides with periods of strikes, protests and manifestations. Traffic and/or transportation hiccups are possible now. There can be more nervous tension, stress and ICT- related issues as well. Venus enters its own sign Libra in its retrograde motion, around October 25, trying to negotiate, keep 'balance.' Following astrometeorology, there are sunny spells. Around the October 26 perigee Full Moon at 2° Taurus, the Sun at 3° Scorpio squares Pluto at 3° Aquarius. This intense lunation period suggests sadness, grief and even mourning. There is a situation that is difficult to digest or assimilate and that will take time. Mercury at 17° Scorpio squares Mars at 17° Leo around October 30. Beware of arguments, disputes but also (traffic and transportation) accidents causing physical injuries and cuts.

The Astrology of Transnational Love BondsIn this article we want to discuss some astrological indications, configurations or patterns that are found in the natal horoscopes of transnational or cross-national couples.It's not about synastry (chart comparison), but about how to spot in a natal horoscope that your partner or one of them will not be born in your own country. To find out, we also checked the natal horoscopes of some celebrities who became cross-national couples too. Let's list some couples that are part of the research:
Astrologically, foreign countries and foreigners are attributed to the 9th house in a horoscope so that we expect some significant patterns involving the 9th house. Also, Jupiter is the planet representing foreign people as well so that we will be curious to find out if Jupiter too is involved in any signature or pattern.
What stood out where the aspects the ruler of the 9th house made though (orb 3°):
