This next week is packed. Eclipse season (FINALLY) comes to a close on Thursday with a Full Moon in Aries, which will get its own newsletter. We also have two planets (Mercury and Venus) changing signs and making their final-of-our-lifetime connection to Pluto in Capricorn. This is a week where the vibe we end the week with will be markedly different from the vibe we start the week with.
Embrace change. Deep dive in the secluded cloister of cave water. Breathe easier at the final gasps of eclipse season. You got this.
Before we get into this super-packed week: I have a brand new episode about eclipses (what they are, what they mean, also how they’re impacting Diddy and associates) over at Call Your Coven. And (cheaper!) early bird pricing for the November sprint of Showing Up to the Work ends on Monday the 14th, so be sure to sign up!

10:02am: Mercury in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn (29*)
We are wrapping up eclipse season with a major theme of truth-telling: about the unseen becoming seen, about what needs to be kept hidden or secret, and why. Connecting with the lord of the underworld, Pluto, who is profoundly concerned with power, communicative Mercury begs the question, who has the power to tell the truth? How does truth change when considering different perspectives?
If you’ve got some therapeutic or otherwise investigative writing (or interviews) to do, this is an ideal time to schedule those.
Note that this is the final, final conversation between Mercury in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn in our lifetimes. Especially impactful for Mercury in Libra natives.
