(This article is in response to reader comments. Thank you for your feedback).

In this ongoing series of articles–I offer you a glimpse of Astro-NOMICAL and astro-LOGICAL events coming up in the next three months covered by this issue of Visionary Viewpoints. This issue covers October, November and December. I am hoping to stimulate your curiosity to read more about these events. I also hope to give you a “hint” at what might be influencing your daily life affected by the events that are happening all around you and the energies the earth, herself is passing through in space.

In this issue, I would like to take an event and show how it might affect you in more detail.

When I report, astronomically Mars opposing Pluto means Mars and Pluto are about 180° apart in the zodiac, facing each other across the sky from Earth’s point of view.

While astrologically, it describes a tense power dynamic between the two planets. Together, this opposition can feel like confrontation, emotional pressure, obsession, conflict, breakthrough, or the need to use power consciously instead of reactively

 October 3 — Mars opposes Pluto: A high-intensity aspect creating tension, power struggles and a strong drive to push through obstacles.

In general, you might experience episodes of heightened ambition, anger, power struggles, obsession. You might pause and question—Where did that come from? OR When I feel that it reminds me of when ………. It is an opportunity to look at what you haven’t thought about or looked at in a long time The planetary alignment could be stimulating your thoughts. The alignment could be giving you the courage to look at what is behind the anger, or why trying so hard is important to you, or why you just haven’t been able to let that old experience go. If you are willing to explore a reaction that is a habit, is uncomfortable and that you would like to feel better—this is your chance to be more aware and see what happens. You might find yourself taking meaningful action that surprises you. Just notice—if you read this—you will catch yourself having one of these episodes.

Here are some hints for each birth sign and how this event might show up for you

Aries — Power struggles may test your independence; act with strategy, not impulse.

Taurus — Fixed beliefs or relationship tensions may surface; flexibility helps you regain control.

Gemini — Intense conversations or hidden information may push you to speak more carefully.

Cancer — Emotional boundaries and shared resources may become charged; avoid reacting from fear.

Leo — Conflicts in partnerships may reveal control dynamics; choose confidence over dominance.

Virgo — Work, health, or routine pressures may intensify; change what is unsustainable.

Libra — Romantic, creative, or personal desires may clash with deeper obligations; avoid manipulation.

Scorpio — Family, home, or inner emotional patterns may feel intense; transformation starts privately.

Sagittarius — Words carry extra power now; avoid escalating debates or forcing your viewpoint.

Capricorn — Money, security and self-worth issues may trigger control concerns; reclaim your priorities.

Aquarius — Personal identity and hidden fears may collide; use intensity to transform yourself.

Pisces — Subconscious anger or old wounds may surface; rest, reflect and release what drains you.

When I write:  We will be cycling through the slices of space that we name by zodiac signs

Libra: September 23 – October 22,

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21,

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21. 

I am also suggesting that between October 23-November 21 earth is traveling through space that is influenced by that constellation.

In general–Scorpio brings an energy of depth, transformation and emotional truth to the earth. It invites people to look beneath the surface, face what has been hidden and release what no longer serves them. During Scorpio season, life can feel more intense, intuitive and revealing, but also powerful—pushing growth through honesty, healing and renewal.

Each of us will see parts of this description in a different way and will have a focus more closely based on our birth sign. So, Scorpio might affect you accordingly.

Aries: reacts boldly, confronts what feels hidden or intense.

Taurus: seeks stability, resists emotional upheaval, craves trust.

Gemini: gets curious, asks questions, analyzes emotional undercurrents.

Cancer: feels deeply, protects the heart, leans into intuition.

Leo: wants loyalty, passion and honest emotional connection.

Virgo: studies patterns, tries to make sense of complicated feelings.

Libra: seeks balance, diplomacy and fairness amid intensity.

Scorpio: feels empowered, transformed, magnetic and emotionally focused.

Sagittarius: searches for meaning, truth and growth through intensity.

Capricorn: gets serious, strategic and focused on long-term change.

Aquarius: observes from a distance, questions power dynamics and motives.

Pisces: absorbs the mood, becomes intuitive, compassionate and reflective

I invite you to notice where you might fit into this picture. So, between October 23-November 21, can you notice the influence of Scorpio energy?
