Hello, friends! I hope that you are all doing well, and enjoying the fall weather! Here in Hindustan it’s been in the 50’s and 60’s, and I just love it. We’ve got lots going on here on our farm, and I’ve started to sell my tinctures on my website. Just go to Herbal Tintures if you’re interested in what I have to offer! It’s all seasonal, so once it’s gone, it’s gone until next year. I have been loving the effects of the plant based medicines on myself, and I’ve found that especially in the winter it’s a fantastic way to feel better.

We start off the month on a positive note, as Mercury goes direct! This really affected me this time with computer memory issues, and losing things that I thought I had backed up, so I’m happy it’s going out of retrograde. Then we have Pluto going direct, so this will take some of the intensity off for now, but we are in eclipse season. Our Full Moon will be conjunct Jupiter in his own sign of Pisces, and this is excellent for money, which we’re going to need for the end of this month. Saturn goes direct, yay! This may help to speed up situations where you are looking for a resolution, especially in work situations.

Mars goes retrograde at the end of the month, and the last time this happened in Gemini was the financial collapse of 2008 when the housing market bubble burst, and we went into a massive recession. This eclipse is with Ketu, and it’s in Venus’ sign of Libra, so the economy will take a hit. Forwarned is forearmed, so start to live more frugally, and liquidate what you can for cash. The federal interest rate on loans has gone up again, so pay off what you can, or you’ll be paying more. Time to buckle down and live more simply, which isn’t such a bad idea, as they say, “mo money, mo problems”.
