The Stars This Week: October 8-14, 2012

Help Arrives!

Take advantage of the support you receive this week, as we haven't had many weeks lately that offer this much help! First, the Sun trines Jupiter on October 8, when fairy godmothers and their stand-ins help you make a lot out of a little! Then, when Venus trines intense Pluto on October 9, cupid arrives -- so get ready to experience the power of love! Finally, as Saturn trines Neptune on October 10, people are willing to help you achieve your goals. Now all you have to do is say yes!

October 8: The Sun trines Jupiter
This aspect occurs twice each year -- the first just after Jupiter turns retrograde (which happened last week), and the second just before Jupiter turns direct. Both transits are routinely filled with enthusiastic energy and optimism! The Sun in Libra and Jupiter in Gemini is an Air sign combination that brings opportunities to form beneficial partnerships and invest in cooperative ventures. You have big ideas, and now with Jupiter retrograde, it's time to loop back and see where previous contacts might be worth a second look or conversation. Social opportunities can bring what you want, and fairness and justice will be keywords. The more social and friendly you are, the more you can help yourself. The world loves a team player right now!

October 9: Venus trines Pluto
The planet of relationships, Venus, in practical Virgo now receives support from Pluto in ambitious Capricorn. This aspect favors business relationships and shows that people in positions of power are prepared to help you. In your personal relationships, power, intensity and love come together to create transformative energy -- in a very good way! This aspect is all about making a deep, authentic connection; nothing less now will do. If you want the real deal, it's time to let go and surrender to love!

October 10: Saturn trines Neptune
The material world has a great conversation with the realms of imagination as Saturn, newly transiting through Scorpio, forms a supportive trine to Neptune in Pisces. This is exciting news, as your most inspiring goals receive practical help from authority figures. With everything going on in the world these days, every one of us could use support from those possessing that magical mixture of common sense, spiritual depth, compassion and influence. Open yourself up to receive what's good -- and then pass it on to others.
