The Sexiest Time of the Year Is Here!

October 23, 2023



At 4:05 a.m.: The moon is sextile Chiron

In the morning, the Aquarius moon sextiles Chiron in Aries, providing a healing breakthrough! However, we probably won’t notice the progress we’ve made in overcoming a longstanding insecurity until later in the day.  At this time, we go about our business with a new and improved attitude. We focus on the future instead of ruminating over past missteps. Others might ask for guidance and take note of our carefree nature and efficiency in handling our work. The advice we give makes it clear how we’ve overcome hardship, not by ignoring our problems, but by refusing to make them a central aspect of our identity. 

At 9:21 a.m.: The sun enters Scorpio

After sun-up, the sun exits the diplomatic air sign Libra to enter magnetic and potent Scorpio. This fixed water sign has a reputation for intensity and volatility. However, the sun’s transit here is also an empowering one, furthering our connection to our inner magic and capacity for self-mastery.  As the polar sign of sensual Taurus, this month inclines us to self-exploration through both sensory and extra-sensory means. It is a month of strange fascinations, mysteries, and approaching the world as a detective, always looking for the greater meaning behind the façade!  During the month ahead, we more easily navigate psychological realms, perceiving others’ unspoken motives. However, this transit can also cause us to become needlessly suspicious and obsessed with discovering someone’s true colors. We will make better use of this time if we turn the magnifying glass inwards to dissect our own fears, and how they might be preventing us from achieving true autonomy.
