Transcripts

this October is not only Eclipse season

but we also are going to have about half

the planets in the sky retrograde which

means that it's more so time for

rethinking what you've accomplished this

year so far and being open to what new

things life is going to drop in front of

you instead of having a preemptive plan

so go with the flow and even though

expect major change I wouldn't try to

facilitate that change I would be

receptive so if you're excited to dive

into what we can expect this October

2024 astrologically coming up make sure

that you like subscribe and and hit the

notification Bell so you are always up

to date with what the stars have in

stored for you if you're new here hi I

am merid I make astrology videos I also

make music if you want to look at my

music you can find me uh wherever you

want to find me um if you want my

astrology courses or one-on-one readings

I offer those at the links below

otherwise in this video we're going to

start out by talking about the astrology

itself and what to expect collectively

and we'll pull a tarot card at the end

to see what other information we can

prepare for for this month which is an

important month CU Eclipse season so

we're starting out the month with a bang

because on October 2nd there is a total

solar eclipse in Libra so I have a full

video dedicated to this Eclipse that you

can most certainly watch but the short

version is that solar eclipses are huge

New Beginnings one Domino is going to

fall that allows for six months of

growth in a particular area of your life

this eclipse is on the south node which

shows letting go or releasing so it's a

paradox of a huge new beginning and door

opening but at the same time it's

because you are letting go and

finalizing a year and a half departure

from a certain area of your life you've

been cleaning it out since it's in Libra

it's probably going to involve people or

other parties in Social agreements or

Dynamics so expect in your own life and

to see collectively big social

agreements and big decisions into a new

Direction in an area of your life that

is wide open because you cleared it out

beginning of this October that first

Domino is going to fall and then he

Clips his Bild over the next six months

like don't be surprised if it's like one

decision that you you then like 6 months

later or like holy [ __ ] that was that

Eclipse then on the fifth to the 6th

Mercury and Libra is going to score more

s and cancer this is not a very serious

Transit but do be aware that around the

5ifth to the 6th you are likely to be

argumentative fighting or just verbally

more combative with people so watch out

I wouldn't have meaning to that then

from the 7th to the 9th Mercury and

Venus will be in Scorpio so Mercury and

Scorpio a little bit darker more

selective intense specific with language

maybe a little bit dramatic or too like

just unnecessarily paranoid as well it's

one of the calling outs of mercury and

Scorpio tangent here is that mercury and

Scorpio [ __ ] are so [ __ ] paranoid

and interrogative is that the word like

they're very interrogational they have

other it's not a bad placement at all I

just I noticed my Mercury and Leo which

is very like bubbly you guys are like

[ __ ] like sit down handcuff someone

okay guys all right anyway Mercury and

Venus and Scorpio are going to be trying

Mars and cancer this actually shows that

by the 7th to the n9th you were going to

be on top of your [ __ ] so even though

fifth to the 6th argumentative 7th to

the n9th shows that your words and your

actions with Venus and Scorpio

specifically values and actions and how

you were relationally interacting with

others you are on point to get [ __ ] done

and you're direct and you're being

straightforward seventh to the nth then

on the ninth as well Jupiter is going to

station retrograde in Gemini so Jupiter

stationing retrograde isn't really going

to have like a specific overall

Collective momentary energy what you

will find is that a lot of the growth of

the conversations or the debates and the

top of Mind big points this year of like

whether it's memes or whether it is

Trends socially because Jupiter and

Gemini I think saw a growth of social

trends and a growth of like Niche I mean

I hate to like even bring this into this

or whatever but I felt like brat summer

was a really good example of Jupiter

entering Gemini because it was like the

growth of the examination of the meta of

social trends because Gemini is this

like social tea energy and it was the

growth of that and that being like kind

of MiFi or meta IFI anyway Jupiter going

retrograde shows that it's kind of like

the inverse of that and we're reflecting

on it and rethinking that growth if you

know the Gemini house in your chart

check that house because it shows that

you are rethinking the growth there or

rethinking the progress and refining it

rather than moving forward so that's one

of the planets retrograde showing that

we're going back and refining rather

than moving forward then from the 12th

to the 15th the sun in Libra is going to

score Mars and cancer another combative

energy from the 12th to the 15th I would

say watch out for competing egos or like

having like just uh kind of M like you

were facing off to show who is like

bossest kind of thing watch out for ego

fighting at the middle of the month also

from the 14th to the 15th Venus and

Scorpio is going to oppose Uranus and

Taurus Venus and Scorpio already tends

towards the dramatic and unnecessarily

dark or intense and opposite Uranus

shows relationship chaos and shock

Factor statements and doing things for

attention that are dark and shocking

watch out middle of the month for people

to get your attention or for you

yourself to just act B [ __ ] for

attention you're like I just jumped off

the building because you didn't text me

that that is very much this kind of

energy watch out on the 17th we then

have the next and final eclipse of this

year which is the lunar eclipse and

Aries this is the final eclipse in the

cycle of Aries and Libra over the past

year and a half it is a partial eclipse

it's pretty far away but it still shows

an ending and a letting go of a

commitment that you have made over the

past year and a half to put yourself

first and be independent in a certain

area of your life so the Aries house in

your chart has shown Independence growth

and a lot of focus and severe dedication

over the past year and a half or so this

is showing that you are now letting go

of something that you've accomplished

and you're departing from that area of

your life and so it's showing that you

worked hard enough to get to a certain

point of now releasing or ending that

chapter and this ending is not oneoff it

is an Eclipse which means that this one

event triggers a six-month kind of

letting go here now will tie up Eclipse

season and also on the 17th Venus enter

Sagittarius Venus entering Sagittarius

is definitely a breath of fresh air from

all the Scorpio energy it shows a little

bit more light-hearted adventurous

relationship energy coming in the middle

of this month then on the 23rd the sun

Ander Scorpio which brings us definitely

like back into a little bit of that dark

intense stubborn internal energy Scorpio

season is spooky that's the word for it

it's not bad at all I love Scorpio

Scorpio is my favorite sign along with

cancer but it definitely is a darker

more introverted energy then on the 26th

to the 29th Mars and cancer will try

Neptune and Pisces even though Mars and

cancer is uh not the easiest placement

having this Shine shows acting with

faith or acting with moral integrity at

the end of this month also on the 28th

Venus and Sagittarius is going to score

Saturn and Pisces which could show

blockages rejections or coldness in

interpersonal relationships briefly at

the end of this month and finally we end

the month on the 30th to the 31st with

Mercury and Scorpio opposite Uranus and

Taurus showing batshit shocking or

blurting out kind of crazy Conversation

Energy at the end of the month it is

definitely a blurting out random

information wo what kind of ending here

with all these things combined where

we're trying to be graceful but

relationships feel kind of cold and

people are saying random [ __ ] and Tech

Tech Al on November 1st there's a new

moon in Scorpio but that does happen on

the 1 technically so we are ending the

month here overall as you can see it's

not a bad month but it's definitely not

a month that you want to plan something

too rigid for you want to see what comes

up for you during this Eclipse season

and what the crazy relationship stuff is

in your life specifically the tarot card

that we have here for this month is the

Ace of Cups reversed I've been playing

so many Cups reversed cards for so many

different things um cups emotional

fulfillment reversed letting go or being

unfulfilled ace of cups is literally

what is your source of fulfillment that

you depend on or that you get that

Source Joy from remove it or detach it's

it's basically saying detach from what

your dependency is like get a grip

that's kind of the the energy of this I
