Esoteric astrology as news for week Oct 28 – Nov 3, 2026


Right Choice is Made When We Align with the Will to Good.



 

 

 

 

Dear Readers in the United States. I wrote the title above because on November 3, 2026, everyone in our United States has the opportunity to vote in the mid-term elections. Voting is where citizens have a voice. A time for the voice of the people to be heard (no matter the outcome). 

Most important during this time when both Venus (values) and Mercury (words, ideas, communication) are retrograde. The retrogrades call humanity to research, discern and discriminate in order to vote with Right Choice (the call of Libra). Many don’t vote, thinking their voice is meaningless. There is great meaning in everyone’s choice, voice and vote. Many ask – “How do we choose rightly?” The title above is both an answer as well as an esoteric teaching – Right Choice is Made When We Align with the Will to Good. 

We are all called to align with the Will to Good in order to make Right Choices.

Saturday is Halloween (Samhain – ancient Celtic harvest festival marking the transition to the dark days of winter). Halloween is a three-day festival and perfect for the sign of Scorpio, when ghosts float by and things go bump in the night! Halloween night, when we are all dressed up in characters we hope to be, occurs under a nurturing Cancer moon that is void of course. With eight lights retrograde and a moon void of course, Halloween night may be different than we expect – quieter, solemn, introverted maybe.

Halloween (Oct. 31st) is All Hallows Eve, the day before All Saints Day (Nov. 1st – a holy day in the Catholic church), when we honor saints, disciples, Initiates and the Hierarchy (Lodge of Masters, inner world government) and All Soul’s Day (Nov. 2nd, prayer and remembrance of those who have departed).

Sunday is also Daylight Savings time, turning our clocks back one hour. Sunday is Sun/Saturn and time is ruled by Saturn and time rules our days and nights.  Monday (Nov. 2nd is Leo moon. Under Leo moon we recognize our talents and abilities and creative gifts. We recognize others’ too – and we praise them. Leo calls each of us to develop our gifts which are to be used in the Aquarian Age. 

Tuesday (Nov. 3rd, Voting Day) under Virgo moon – calling forth discernment, discrimination and the Soul of humanity to choose rightly so the Soul of our country can manifest and stabilize. An important day on this Voting Day. Making right choices because we have aligned with the Will to Good.


 

 Aries

March 21 – April 19:  So many changes are occurring that you become more aware of everyone’s behaviors, beliefs and responses in all interactions, including your right use of money and resources, your capacity to discern and discriminate and your aspiration to give (and give some more). Intimacy is of great value and importance to you at this time. All that you value shifts to a higher level to what is called the Soul – that place, that reality where we stand in the Light and lead humanity with and towards the Light. Your new task.

 Taurus

Taurus
April 20 – May 20:  The ways we are in relationships stem from family observations and experiences as children. Although you seem to hide yourself away in relationships, you’re dedicated to those you love. You never think of quitting, abandoning or leaving those you love. This dedication allows others to grow, transform and evolve over time and space. Taurus is always hand in hand with Venus, the symbol of which is the Ankh, the Egyptian bracelet of Isis (Egyptian goddess) and symbol of life. A question. Do you feel adequately loved enough in return?

 Gemini

Gemini
May 21 – June 20:  So many planets retrograde these days and weeks. No matter how compelling it is to return to previous situations, you cannot remain there. The purpose of the return (retrogrades) is to review the lessons, assess the outcomes, see if anything is incomplete, realize the goodness, offer gratitude and finally, if needed, forgiveness. This liberates your heart, mind and future. The Nine Tests of Scorpio will shadow you. You pass them with your usual Gemini brilliance. Do have that as a focused intention.

 Cancer

Cancer
June 21 – July 22:  Are you feeling restricted by anyone or anything in your life? Perhaps you feel your life’s work is either unknown or you didn’t fulfill your potential. Is there a need for a rebalancing with friends or family? Are you concerned with choices, enough rest, future resources? Let’s discuss rest. Your nervous system and body need rest in great amounts. A specific creativity is calling to you. Does it have to do with your home and garden? Are you planting bulbs? You must for a colorful spring.

 Leo

July 23 – August 22:  Remember a long time ago when home was mainly outside? When you picked fruit and made fire to cook with? Remember long walks at daybreak and sunset watching the stars appear, the Milky Way shining silver in the night sky? Remember the building of community, the snows, the streams, the aspens, the hills, the apricots and apples? There was also a loneliness, too. Remember as adults we are able to release what’s sorrowful. Through loving forgiveness. Remember who loved you? Remember them?

 Virgo

August 23 – September 22:  You seek more freedom – especially financial. Resources can define one and also can be limiting. Finances with another – has this been bothering you for a while? Is it a wound or finances disappearing? One of the most important ways of receiving money is tithing to those in need. When we give things away we experience freedom. The heart opens. What we give returns to us ten-fold. What you are truly seeking is liberty. Create a freedom journal.

 Libra

September 23 – October 22:  You just had your Libra birthday. Your future will be emerging in great transformative waves – reorganizing your self-identity, how you see yourself, your professional and personal realities and your interactions with the world. Listen carefully to all communication. Listen with your heart. Several people want to be friends with you. Don’t turn them away. What must you balance and choose to create a future of freedom? Forgiveness is what is needed. Forgiveness heals ourselves, first. Then love can pierce the veils of protection.

 Scorpio

October 23 – November 21:   There will be a new identity available in the coming weeks, a discovery and a new learning on how you see yourself. It begins with you creatively helping another. Helping others reconciles us to our own humanity. We see the needs of the times through the needs of others. Then we begin to build the new culture and civilization – the new sharing society. You are the resource behind this idea, which becomes an ideal within humanity. You are the mystery that must be revealed to humanity. The mystery teachings.

 Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21:  In Non-violent (compassionate) communication classes we learn to understand the self and others’ needs and all the ways people think, talk and communicate. Being able to discern others’ needs becomes a creative act, deeply internal, yet profoundly affecting all outer experiences and interactions. Cooperation (a virtue) with others begins in earnest. If you haven’t already, it’s time to learn Non-violent Compassionate Communication techniques. Its effects are extraordinary, everlasting and a miracle.

 Capricorn

December 22 – January 19:  Profound changes continue, with a new realization of values and the need for recognition and friendships. Group work, gatherings of family and friends all are of great importance to you. Often people see you as one who comes in quietly and, through words and actions, transforms them. Some like this, some don’t understand it. However, this is your task in groups. Understanding this helps you maintain focus and confidence. You manifest the group’s spiritual work. Before any work being done, call in the Soul of yourself and all others. The Soul protects.

 Aquarius

January 20 – February 18:  Your resources depend on your state of mind. It’s most important to assess and re-assess  what is needed and what is not, so you can move forward quickly when the time comes to shift and change. Should a call come from some distant future, you will be prepared. Don’t allow yourself to be anxious. Either use what you have or give it away so you are less dependent on physical non-essentials and more focused upon freedom, which the new world will call for. Balance is in having less. Also, more rest is needed.

 Pisces

February 19 – March 20:  With Neptune in Aries now, there is a change and shift of direction and one’s self identity. Here is the path and the direction given. “Amidst whirling forces we stood confused, we were swept up and down the lands, blinded, nowhere to rest.” Finally finding our new direction and new identity, we said, “Here I stand and will not move till I know the law governing this very moment. I face many ways and soon I will determine for myself which way to go. I will travel no longer up and down the land. I will no longer be blinded. I will only upward move.” (The Old Commentary for Pisces)
