 A BIG THANK YOU Kimberly Chin. 

Good morning. Wow, this Mercury retrograde is bizarre. I know I often say this one is the worst, but forget that, cancel all that. This one is the worst. It is absolutely crazy. You know everything… even putting a fan in the window. It falls out of the window. Everything that is seemingly an ordinary process is an extraordinary big deal.

We have a Virgo Moon, which is really about process and everyday operations, anything in your activity that is second nature. So, second nature is being challenged. We have that Virgo Moon, [which] is way out of bounds. It is like off the chart.

So, what we have is an extreme sense of what is going on with your feelings. You might be overreacting. Or maybe you want to retreat, hide under the covers, or something. So, there are a lot of things that are supporting all this. What we have is a whole lot of charts from planets. Jupiter is going crazy this week, setting off planets. The big planets, the outer planets are all in low numbers. Pluto at 4° Aquarius, Neptune at 4° Aries, Uranus at 4° (degrees) of Gemini, Jupiter at 4° of Leo. So that all is getting set off in a big, big way. This week, at minimum it is hazardous, so you want to take real special care in whatever you are doing. [It is] not just driving. Walking, running, anything like that, you want to take extra special care. Your perception could be off, and your vision could be off.

Mars is in Gemini, which is giving you a whole dualistic perception of process. So, you are thinking about doing one thing. Then all these other things about oh, I have got to do this, that, and the other thing, are coming up.  They are all demanding that they go first. So, you have to make choices about what is it you want to do, how you want to do it during this Virgo Moon. Normally have the ability to discriminate subtle differences, but sometimes this is way out of proportion. These can be overemphasized and discriminated against based on things like sex and race and religion. So, you want to be able to keep your perspective as pure as possible. Any type of attractions that you may have may be intriguing, but could be forbidden fruit. So, watch out about what you are attracted to. You gain power through unity. So, join with others, and that is what we have today too. My friend Lisa Moore is going to come on later, and we have Victor with us.

So, you want to band with others to achieve success. Set up your task that you want to become habitual, to become part of your daily routine. So, anything you want to add to your daily routine and make it stick, this this day could help that. Although stickiness, I do not know with all this Jupiter stuff we have going on.

Also, Mercury will turn direct on Thursday. But we still have that Virgo Moon we are dealing with until Sunday, when the Moon goes into the sign of Libra at 12:56 AM. It will be there all-day Sunday. It will be there Monday, and into the 20th. The 21st we have a New Moon that comes in on the 21st.

But before that, that Libra Moon is dancing around with some big heavy hitters. For one, Mars and Saturn set off an aspect. It is a 60° aspect, a sextile. So, this is where you have your emotions are harnessed and your activities are harnessed. It is easy to control or suppress your anger, but I do not completely buy that. I think all the discipline and patience and endurance and resistance that Saturn and Mars give. I think a lot of it is being put up and boost it from Jupiter's activities throughout the week. There is a lot of progress that you can make this week. You can really charge full speed ahead.

For one thing, on Monday, Jupiter and Neptune are trine. We started the day out with Uranus and Pluto trine. That is a very deep, penetrating insight into life, which can be put into good use.

But you can also find that this beneficial transit of Uranus trine Pluto, which is today, on Saturday the 18th, gives you the ability to understand a problem and take some creative action for solutions. But I think it also involves a lot of other people.

And here comes Jupiter to Neptune. Clouds the issue, make you feel like everything is okay, but do not buy it. This is a great teacher of do not kick back and relax without engaging in your environment in a more practical way because Jupiter comes along on the 20th and makes an opposition to Pluto. This one takes an explosive quality. It could impact some of the activities from the White House to others, in a big way. External events are deliberately plotting to thwart the moves of others. However, you may be going overboard in your attempts to get your own way. This aspect can cause some trouble. If you want to make great change in your life, but lack the necessary tolerance and patience to get things done, this aspect can really help you do that. So be careful about abusing your power when dealing with others. Keep your focus on what your goals are.  Do not ignore the fact that other people have their goals as well.

First Quarter Moon comes in. This is when we are actively involved in the process of moving forward on Tuesday, 7:05 AM. It is at 28° of Libra. That New Moon was October of 2025, which is the mother Moon of this First Quarter that we are going to have on Tuesday. So, then it will take off in April to be related to what is going on these days. And then finally, it speaks to January 2028. That is right near, inauguration day of January 20, 2028. So, watch really closely to what is going on, how things are changing, who the players are. Take note now. You will be able to read into what is the up-and-coming events that can be expected.

Then there is on top of that. I mean, just 5 minutes later, Jupiter and Uranus make a sextile, a 60° aspect. That is a new opportunity aspect. And so, like Victor said, when the New Age was new, here is one of those things when we have a sudden, exciting new opportunity. So, if you are in the mood to make or break from your normal routine, this is it. This is your cue. We are talking about the 21st Tuesday. It gives you psychic abilities as well. It is intuitive. You are sharper than usual, making up for any practical common sense. You want to study, travel, get into anything technical, esoteric. Your scientific pursuits may also feature in here.

Well, that Libra Moon comes to an end when the Scorpio Moon comes in at 9:34 AM on Tuesday. Nothing much can be expected on Tuesday for that Scorpio Moon sign. Although Scorpio Moons are always intense. They definitely involve getting deep into things. Sometimes with others, sometimes alone. You can accomplish your tasks in secrecy. Or you can watch out for others that [are] accomplishing their tasks in secrecy. You can try to ascertain information about what is really going on. Someone important to your proceedings may be absent.  If necessary, you will have to use someone else. That brings to mind our very own Kimberly Chin, who does the transcription. She is not able to be with us today, and my heart goes out to her. Hope that she has a happy, quick return.

So, we have that during that Scorpio Moon on Wednesday. Here comes the great big sunny happy Leo Sun. It is good-hearted. It has a sunny personality. It is strong. There is a need for attention when the Sun goes into Leo. you have a generous nature, but it can definitely be arrogant. And arrogant, I think, belongs to one particular person comes to comes to mind, person in seat of power. So, I wonder how this one is going to work out, or change, or situate a set of circumstances.

There is Venus quincunx Saturn. Comes in on Thursday. This is early in the morning, just after midnight. So, this is count your blessings, as the work you have is a treasure. Do not try to shy away from your jobs or your work. Work harder. That Scorpio Moon has its last aspect to Pluto. Well, that Scorpio Moon likes that, because Pluto runs the show, while it is in Scorpio. That is a positive aspect. They join together. They make plans. They go hand in hand together.

Then the rest of the Scorpio Moon sees Mercury turning direct. That is at 6:57 PM on the 23rd. So that is on Thursday, where we cannot wait for that. I cannot say that you are going to find your keys or your glasses right away, but you should have a better shot at it.

The Cancer sign that Mercury is in is about family. So, it helps you to reunite with family. Maybe give them a better chance to explain themselves, your family members. Use any type of information that you have to get closer together.

So, Mercury will not go retrograde again for another-I do not know how many months, but it is months. It happens three times a year. Let me look and tell you when Mercury goes retrograde. October 24th in Scorpio. Oh, great! So, we want to see the Sagittarius Moon come in 9:06 PM.

That Moon in Sagittarius has a happy note. There is a lovely Sun Moon trine. That is a 120°. That is a wide-open space that the Sag Moon gives to invite others in. join in with others as well. Have a party, join a party.

Then the Sag Moon continues all through Friday to see a lovely aspect between Mercury and Venus, and that is at 12:12 PM. [That] is when there is sweet talk and encouragement that goes on. It says, it will all be all right.

There is another big heavy aspect that comes in right after that next weekend, Neptune and Pluto. Will talk about it then. But it will have already happened by the time we get on the air next Saturday. So, Neptune and Pluto are designed to expand in some way your awareness. I would think that whatever Victor puts on the air would be well worth listening.

Our stories today are very interesting. We have a we have a guest who is discussing grief from an astrological window, and I think that is it for the week, Victor.

My phone number 617-558-7233. And you can find the report also on my website at Lunar-Shadows.com. Kimberly Chin normally does the transcription, and we hope she returns sooner than later. And I wish you all good week.
