Astrology Now in late October 2004 - A Five Pointed Star Great Quintile Gift for All Signs

by Robert Wilkinson

We're now solidly moving into the activity promised by the huge lineup of planets just a few weeks ago that will influence our next 27 months. The Solar Eclipse kicked off a period of inspiration, seeing what you care about, and doing what is natural to provide that which others need that only you can give. Overall the next two weeks should be extraordinarily productive, with major points to take control of the "great vehicle" to fulfill your part of "the great work."

One very favorable configuration we have coming is a "Great Quintile" in operation around October 27, as well as whenever mid-Taurus is rising, around sunset at this time of year. It is composed of 5 points all approximately 72 degrees from the adjacent point and 144 degrees from the next point. This highly specialized configuration involves Saturn, Mars, Pluto, Uranus, and whatever is in mid-Taurus. This offers multiple interlocking gifts and unique situations or interactions. This brings one-of-a-kind opportunities and relationships, so stay open to yours and others' gifts and how they can interact. Of course, the unique situations and gifts usually associated with quintile series aspects may not always be harmonious, since everything depends on having used opportunities to be productive wisely in the past. The degree of productivity usually determines the quality of the gift.

This "5 pointed star" spans points around 28 Cancer, 10 Libra, 22 Sagittarius, 4 Pisces, and 16 Taurus. If you have planets near any of these points your chart will be affected by this configuration. The planets affected rule houses in your chart, and these are the areas where your unique circumstances will show up. If any of the planets in the sky making this star are square or opposed to planets in your chart, then the gifts will come as a result of changes and realizations in those parts of yourself and your life.

There are two hot zones in late October. The first is October 19-20, with Sun square Saturn and Venus square Pluto. Insights into how this will work for everyone can be found in this article. The next hot zone is October 23-24, when Mercury squares Neptune going stationary direct during a lunar t-square. Be very clear in all agreements and communications, change vague ideals into practical vision, and remember there are many ways to understand or communicate something. Examine tendencies to put yourself down or allow others to do that, as well as be underestimated. Refuse to indulge in self-deprecating putdowns, and look at the stages of your activites to see who and what fits where to see the future. When the outer planets shift from retrograde to direct or vice versa, expect important sea changes in the larger atmosphere.

Late October also has some very important and favorable aspects besides the Great Quintile. Continue to balance or smooth things out through October 22, purify and regenerate after then. Brilliant insights from Sun trine Uranus, so inspirations and innovations are very favorable. The last week features Venus sextile Saturn and Mars sextile Pluto, offering a very productive period to adjust values to responsibilities, energies to efficient expression. Harmony between Taurus and Libra sectors with Capricorn and Aquarius sectors, Aries and Scorpio sectors with each other. Concentrate, purify, and enjoy as you make progress these next two weeks in these areas of your life. Yod, or "Finger of God," realizations come through 28 Aquarius and 21 Taurus sectors.
