The simplified profile of planetary aspects reaching a peak in the month of October is: 2 conjunctions, 3 oppositions, 4 trines, 4 squares. This simplified profile is not greatly different from the one for the previous two months. Nothing outstanding.
As before, the long-running aspect of Uranus 1/4 Pluto (which doesn't reach a peak until 6/24/12) is in orb throughout the month. It is within about 2.6 degrees of exactness at the beginning of October, and within about 4.1 degrees at the end of October. And if you want to know how it can manifest, all you have to do is turn on your TV and watch the national and international news. (For more about this Uranus-Pluto square, please refer to the previous article in this series.)
Another special planetary situation that arises in October is the aspect of Mercury CON Venus. This aspect is in orb in approximately the latter half of October and most of November -- which is a relatively long time for an aspect between these two fast-moving planets. So, when does it reach a peak? It doesn't. Its closest approach to exactness is on approximately November 8, at which time it will be only 3' from exact. But since it doesn't actually become exact, it doesn't appear in any aspectarian, not even ours.
The first major planetary aspect to reach a peak in the month of October is Jupiter 4/9 Saturn, which peaks early in the morning of the 1st. It will focus on the concept of large solid things, such as mountains, and will also bring up subjects which combine big and small things, such as objects in outer space. And it will emphasize serious health and medical matters, including the problem of paying large medical bills. In fact any kind of significant financial matter is in its jurisdiction. Then, peaking at about midday, Saturn 5/11 Uranus tends to single out subjects involving old and new, but probably not in a harmonious way. In the afternoon/evening, Sun parallel Mercury makes a temporary dent in these influences by focusing on thinking and communication.
In the evening of the 2nd, Mars 1/4 Jupiter sets up a compatible climate for shouting, fast motion, heat, and even significant military action. Peaking at about midday on the 3rd, Mars parallel Pluto tends to underscore the military action angle.
Peaking in the morning of the 4th, Mercury parallel Saturn puts people in the mood for serious thinking and communicating -- about anything.
Peaking early in the morning of the 6th, Jupiter 1/10 Uranus sets up the atmosphere for mild surprises. Newness is in the air. But peaking in the afternoon, Mercury CON Saturn in Libra tends to subtract out some of the newness and emphasize serious thinking and communication again. And in the morning of the 7th, Sun parallel Saturn further introduces the factor of seriousness and practicality -- in a harmonious way. In the afternoon/evening (7th), Venus 1/3 Neptune emphasizes feelings over clear thinking. Instincts and hunches dominate; they just feel "right".
In the wee hours of the 12th, Mercury 1/3 Neptune tends to echo some of the influence that was brought on the 7th by the Venus-Neptune trine (especially since Mercury is in the sign of Libra, which is associated with Venus). But this time, clear thinking is present, which adds to the compatibility for true inspiration. Due to the time of day involved, this could come in the form of a dream, most likely a vivid dream. But the afternoon/evening (12th) is not without complicity in this. That period of time is host to a triple parallel in which Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune all form parallels with each other. This could cause the atmosphere to feel oh-so-good. This will probably be a time for true enjoyment. So if your duties allow it, put aside your serious endeavors and let the atmosphere do its thing.
(Note: The precise timings of the aspects for October 12 can be seen on the sample aspect page which is posted during the month of September at www.newstandardaspectarian.com.)
The atmosphere changes on the 13th. Sun CON Saturn in the sign of Libra peaks in the afternoon, bringing a relatively strong serious/practical climate. Time to get back to the endeavors that were temporarily abandoned the previous day.
At about midday and afternoon of the 14th, Mercury forms parallel aspects with both Jupiter and Neptune, echoing some of the influence that was experienced on the 12th -- which would feel nice if it were not for the aspect that peaks in the afternoon/evening: Venus 1/2 Jupiter. This is not the time to buy something expensive, because you might regret it later. Selling something expensive might be better at this time.
Peaking in the afternoon of the 16th, Jupiter 5/11 Saturn echoes many of the ingredients of the Jupiter 4/9 Saturn aspect that peaked on the 1st. (Please refer to that description, earlier in this article.) But the "4/9" aspect is not necessarily inharmonious in its manifestations, whereas the entire "1/11" family seems to be inharmonious, including the "5/11" aspect. So, for this present aspect ("5/11"), you can expect that the negative sides of the Jupiter-Saturn pairing will be emphasized.
Peaking at about midday on the 17th, Mercury 1/2 Jupiter will create roadblocks to thinking and communication wherever it can.
The 18th and 21st, together, are host to a triple parallel of declination involving the planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Reaching a peak in the evening of the 18th, Mercury parallel Venus tends to create a nice atmosphere for conversation and socializing in general. Peaking in the wee hours of the 21st, Mercury parallel Mars emphasizes conversations (such as in radio and television talk shows). And then, peaking in the afternoon/evening (21st), Venus parallel Mars emphasizes the male-female factors of life. Peaking at almost the same time (afternoon/evening of the 21st), Sun 1/3 Neptune spreads a nice atmosphere for facilitating cycles that otherwise might not get done right, or at all.
Peaking in the morning of the 24th, Saturn 4/9 Uranus echoes many of the ingredients of the Saturn 5/11 Uranus aspect that peaked on the 1st. (Please refer to that description, earlier in this article.) But the "4/9" aspect is not necessarily inharmonious in its manifestations, whereas the entire "1/11" family seems to be inharmonious, including the "5/11" aspect. So, for this present aspect ("4/9"), you can expect that the Saturn-Uranus pairing will be mostly neutral in its manifestations. (It seems like there is an element of deja vu in this situation.)
Peaking in the wee hours of the 25th, Sun parallel Jupiter tends to make things seem big and expansive and nice. Things "out there" seem to be more important and significant than things "down here". Enjoy.
Peaking in the wee hours of the 26th, Mercury parallel Pluto tends to favor things like announcements of various kinds. But peaking in the afternoon/evening, Venus 1/4 Mars brings out all manner of disharmony, especially those which focus on the male-female factor; not a good time. But then, peaking in the evening, Sun parallel Neptune tends to facilitate "repairs" for some of the disharmonies that emerged recently.
The 28th is host to some really major stuff. In the morning, Mercury 1/4 Mars can foster some angry talk and even yelling. Peaking a short time later (but in orb for many days), Jupiter 1/3 Pluto expands on things like health issues, financial matters, and border disputes, including those on a national and international scale. Everything seems magnified in some way, but the fact that this aspect is a trine might indicate that things may not get totally out of hand. But then, as though to throw a monkey wrench into the works, Sun 1/2 Jupiter, which peaks in the evening, tends to create oppositions and downright blockages to situations that might otherwise progress harmoniously. The 28th does indeed harbor a motley mixture of cosmic influences. An interesting day.
The morning of the 29th seems to "belong" to Venus and Pluto. These two planets form a parallel aspect with each other, and then, only one minute later, Venus 1/9 Pluto reaches a peak. It will be intriguing to see how this unusual coincidence of aspects manifests. Don't expect that an army of women will form a march on a national capitol (although this pair of aspects could tend to bring such a thing about). More likely, it will arouse feelings that seek to be vented in some way.
Peaking in the afternoon of the 31st, Venus 1/4 Neptune tends to create confused feelings of various kinds. But, as the saying goes, "This too shall pass away." Luckily, all of these influences are only temporary.
