The New Moon at 17º Libra ♎ started today, Oct 10th, at 8:50am PDT ❥ Venus rules Libra ♎ and it rules the 7th house of one-on-one relationships ❥ Key themes are: Relationships, balance, boundaries, and a reset in relational dynamics (amplified by Venus retrograde in Scorpio) ♎ Every 18 months, Venus retrogrades: • Venus retrogrades 10/03 to 10/25 in Scorpio ♏️ (focusing on deep emotions & hidden emotional truths) • Venus re-enters Libra ♎️ Oct 25, 2026 (shifting focus to balance & harmony) • Stations Direct: Nov 14, 2026 @22º Libra ♎ • Post-Shadow Ends: Dec 15, 2026 While every sign will feel the effects of Venus going retrograde, Scorpio & Libra are hit the hardest, while Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius also experience intense direct impact ♏️♎️♉️♌️♒️ During Venus retrograde, the planet of love, money, and beauty asks everyone to reflect rather than launch. It’s an auspicious time for revisiting past relationships (“exes returning”), auditing your budget, & rethinking what you truly value ❥ Venus retrograde is one of the most impactful astrological transits for love, beauty, money, and relationships —& in 2026, it’s poised to bring deep lessons around these themes ❥ When Venus appears to move backward in the sky, our values and connections don’t go forward as usual; instead, we’re invited to review, reassess, and realign. Whether you’re reevaluating a relationship, your spending habits, or your sense of self-worth, Venus retrograde can illuminate what’s been hidden beneath the surface ❥ When Venus retrograde moves back into Libra ♎ (from Oct 25 - Nov 14) it means a shift from deep, emotional excavation to rebalancing relationships, fairness, and personal boundaries ❥ Because Venus is the ruling planet of Libra and is “at home” (in domicile) in this sign, this second phase of the retrograde feels lighter than the initial intense weeks in Scorpio, but it still brings important adjustments ❥ • Check out reports for your Sun & Rising signs for this New Moon in Libra ♎ on YouTube #newmooninlibra ❤︎ #venusretrograde ❥ #inscorpiothenlibra ❤︎ #sustainabilitycode by @sustainabilitycodes

I came across this very sad news story today: HAD TO SHARE the lesson we all need to hear! 🕊️🤍 A Hartford County bus driver was terminated for his “Act of Kindness” stopping to let a student rescue a kitten! What? 🥺 Fortunately, the bus driver who was terminated, is being supported by the student’s parents! ❤︎ What is our world becoming?🫣 Is humanity & kindness out? Do we really want a world devoid of humanity, kindness, love & peace? 🕊️🤍 What are we teaching our children? To not have humanity & kindness? To have no empathy, just go for the money? 🥺 Is this a reflection of the cruelty administered by our current government? 🥺 Monkey see, monkey do? Not caring about others? It's even sadder that our government is a shining example of how to NOT BE HUMANE, JUST, & KIND! They’re about separation, fear, control, constant narratives of untruths, taking things personally, reacting defensively when threatened, false accusations, borderline cruelty, outright lying 🤥 etc! We are so much more than that! Lean into your heart: Lean into Heart Coherence ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎ Not the ego mind: which is about judgment (racism), addictions (food, drugs, alcohol, sex, etc), anger & more low frequency behavior. It's the part of the mind that creates false, separate sense of “I”, building an identity out of your thoughts, memories, roles, social conditioning, and fears! 🚫 Yes, the ego is fear-based! Top business coach John Assaraf says, “We have an ancient mind in modern times!” 🧠 There was a time when we didn't know where our next meal would come from. Today it's a different story; we have access to food 24/7, but the mind is still fear-based! We can all learn to let go of fear!! Mountain biking helped me! 🚵🏼‍♀️ As Fear Stops Us; with mt biking you learn to feather the brakes by applying light, controlled pressure to the brake levels just enough to manage or scrub speed w/o locking up the wheel! Otherwise, you could cause a crash & burn scenario! 🚵🏼‍♀️ And the ego will not heal you; since it’s about your addictions, judgment, anger, and fears! 🥺 Rise: being a frequency match of love, kindness, peace, & full-spectrum health, with the healer mindset! by @sustainabilitycodes

The Harvest Full Moon in Aries ♈ @9:50am PT on Sept 26th will be intense for some✨ Donna Stellhorn says, “Set priorities ahead of time, pick your battles, and consider saying No with Mars @29º”✨ Aries is ruled by Mars, which is about raw energy, action, and desire. Mars governs how we take initiative, pursue goals, & react to physical & environmental resistance. It represents primal instincts, the basic survival drive, & physical self-preservation. It dictates your relationship with anger, competition, assertiveness, & the potential for impatience or volitility✨ This Full Moon is ruled by Mars @29º Cancer, which is making a square to Chiron @29º Aries, & an inconjunct to the North Node @29º Aquarius✨ Donna Stellhorn asks, “Do you have any planets at 29º, 28º, or even 27º in your chart?” Friendly reminder: Check out Donna Stellhorn on YouTube: “September Full Moon 2026: Pick Your Battles | All 12 Signs” (for your Sun & Rising sign reports for the next 2 weeks)✨ For example: Libra ♎ Sun • Libra Sun ☀️ is in the 7th house (1:1 relationship) • Mars in the 10th house of Career-square to Chiron • Partnership, business collaboration (7th house) • What’s your vision for your career? (10th house) • If u need help, you will find help! (7th house) • Money - strong opportunities (Full Moon in 7th) • New ideas, new direction, action needed now (Aries is ruled by Mars giving us the energy & the drive)✨ #fullmooninaries✨ #ariesruledbymars✨ #harvestmoon✨ #sustainabilitycodes✨ by @sustainabilitycodes

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE! 🕊️🤍 But sadly, the United States of America hasn't exactly been a country of peace & love; far from it! ✦ And it’s the kind of thing you can't fake; I can't pretend things have been peaceful ✦ We cannot have peace around us if we do not have peace within ✦ Cultivate inner peace and a peaceful mindset!✌️🏼 Be peace! Embrace peace! Spread peace! ✦ Real tranquility starts within your own thoughts before it can reflect in your daily environment ✦ Letting go of things that you cannot change is the first step towards a quiet mind ✦ And we know calmness is built through boundaries, acceptance, and quiet reflection rather than perfect external circumstances ✦ #peacemindset🕊️ #cultivateinnerpeace🕊️ #forpeacefulresults🕊️ #sustanabilitycodes🕊️ by @sustainabilitycodes

Sirius is the brightest star in the entire night sky✨ Just before dawn, Sirius, often called the “Dog Star,” blazes low in the south-southeast sky✨ If you look slightly higher & to its right, you easily spot the famous three-star belt of the constellation Orion, the Hunter, which points directly down towards Sirius✨ Perhaps if there were less light pollution from living in a major city! And if I had a real camera, haha 😅 The astrological meaning of Sirius symbolizes extreme success, fame, ambition, and spiritual awakening✨ The “Dog Star” Instinct: Astrologically, those with strong Sirius connections are often described, as having sharp intuition, a strong inner compass, and a loyal or protective “guardian” nature akin to the hunting dog constellation it inhabits✨ #sirius ✨ #sustainabilitycodes✨ by @sustainabilitycodes

Happy Autumnal Equinox, everyone! 🍂 The Autumnal Equinox arrives today, September 22nd at 5:05pm PDT, when the Sun moves into zero º of Libra, kicking off Libra season 🍂 The actual date when day and night are closest to equal happens a few days later, usually around late Sept. in mid-latitudes (30º and 60º latitude in both the Northern & Southern Hemispheres) 🍂 On this day, we can take stock of our harvest! We harvest the seeds we planted six months earlier, at the Spring Equinox 🍂 We can celebrate our wins & give thanks for our harvests & bounty! 🙏🏼 Autumnal Equinox is also about balance ⚖️. We all know the importance of keeping our lives balanced in our noisy, fast-paced world! ⚖️ Libra is a symbol of that balance we all desire. And Autumnal Equinox is a sacred turning point of cosmic “balance” when day & night are equal 🟰 #balanced When we embrace balance of the light & dark at this time of year, we can begin to prepare for the shorter & darker days of winter🌲 Spiritually, this alignment represents a time of deep pause, reflection, and preparation as nature shifts outward activity to inward rest🌲 As days shortens, we’re invited to embrace solitude, introspection, & preparation for the quiet inner workings of winter!🌲 #autumnalequinox🍂 #zerodegreeslibra⚖️ #sustainabilitycodes✨ by @sustainabilitycodes

Recently, so many talented, gifted celebrities have left this plane, which piqued my curiosity ❥ How many are born with their Sun in the 10th house of career, public image, social status, reputation, and legacy? ❥ Astrology is about possibilities! Do you have the Sun in the 10th, shining a light on the possibility of success & stardom? ❥ A few are still with us. I added a few couples like: Barack & Michelle Obama ❥ • Gloria Steinem: Sun, Venus, Uranus in the 10th • Sam Neill: Sun, Moon, Venus in the 10th • Hayden Panettiere: Sun, Mars in the 10th • Tim Curry: Sun in the 10th • Rob & Michele Reiner: Both had Sun in the 10th; but Rob also had Mercury in the 10th (Mercury is about communication-Rob communicated through his acting/directing + activism) • John Madden: Sun, Mars, Mercury, Uranus in the 10th (communicated through sports commentary) - I dressed John for seven years! Wonderful man! • Bonnie Tyler: Sun in the 10th • Whitney Houston: Sun in the 10th - Clive Davis: Mercury & Uranus in the 10th (Clive communicated through musical artistry) 🎤 • Michael Tilman Thomas: Sun, Mercury, Mars in the 10th (communicated through his conducting) • Alan Alda: Sun, Mercury in the 10th (communicated through acting) • Mark Fuhrman: Sun in the 10th • Martin Luther King Jr: Mercury in the 10th (communicated through civil rights activism) • Jane Goodall: Sun, Mars, Uranus in the 10th • Phil Jackson & Kobe Bryant: Both w/Sun in the 10th. Sadly, Kobe is no longer w/us 🕊️🤍, but Phil Jackson is still very much with us. (This was the very last “photo shoot” I worked on; what an honor to work with one of the greatest players & one of the greatest coaches in the NBA 🏀 • Ted Turner: Sun, Venus in the 10th; Jane Fonda: has Mercury in the 10th, which makes sense w/her anti-war & environmental activism + acting • Barack Obama: surprisingly, has no planets in the 10th, yet he’s one of the most popular presidents! Michelle, on the other hand, has the Sun & Mars in the 10th. Rock on, Michelle Obama! ❥ It ends w/a list of others who have their Sun in the 10th. I could go on & on! ❥ What are some possibilities for your life? ❥ #sustainabilitycodes ❤︎ by @sustainabilitycodes

We have a New Moon in Virgo ♍ tonight, Sept 10th @8:27pm PDT ❥ Virgo is an earth sign, ruled by Mercury, & rules the 6th house of health, daily routines, and service to others ❥ Because this is a “New” 🌑 Moon: • This New Moon offers us a cosmic reset to adjust daily routines, sleep patterns, or organizing w/o perfection ❥ #health • Mars on Cancer ♋ triggers stabilizing & motivation through supportive connection ❥ • And, with a dark 🌑 moonless night sky, it's ideal for stargazing, which is great for our vagus nerve & parasympathetic nervous system, as it triggers a state of deep wonder and calm ❥ Our daily habits are set to be transformed by this New Moon in Virgo! Are there any routines you'd like to intentionally transform, shift, or let go of to make room for new ones? This new moon offers supportive energy for just that! ❥ Make room for growth, make the time, & create the space!! Look in your heart for heart coherence & high-frequency results! ❥ If any resistance shows up, it's the ego mind resisting change or growth; in fact, the ego will try to sabotage it ❥ Spirit craves growth & expansion; the ego fears it! Business coach John Assaraf says, “We have an ancient mind (fear-based, seeking safety) in modern times!” Lean into your authentic self & look in your heart #heartcoherence ❥ Friendly reminder: remember to tap into YouTube to see how your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs might be impacted by this New Moon in Virgo ♍ #newmooninvirgo ❥ #sustainabilitycodes ❥ by @sustainabilitycodes

“Squid 🦑 here to assure you that there are no witches cavorting along the shores of Monterey, no dark spirits overtaking the peninsula, no matter what some rando candidate for the US Senate 3000 miles away is saying. We are not cursed!❦ As to the witchcraft claims, Squid turned to his friend Sam the Sea Witch, who said, “That Cao guy is way off base. There used to be a witches' Meetup group, but they haven't gathered in a couple of years.”❦ A little background: • I started as a young 13-year-old, self-taught in astrology, numerology, & tarot ❦ • in 1974 I took my 1st Quantum Physics Seminar ~ Erhard Seminar Training (EST) ❦ • More “science of the mind” continued; the Forum & the 6 Day ❦ • In 1983, I met my spiritual teacher, Norma Tringali, whom I studied with for 16 years ❦ • 10 years later, Norma initiated 12 of us women into a coven. A coven consists of 12 women and a teacher, for a total of 13. We went on retreats 2-3 times a year ❦ #magical • Wiccans follow a moral guide: “If it harms none, do what you will.” ❦ • Wiccans see the divine in nature & honor a dualistic structure-a Goddess linked to the Moon & Earth ❦ • They celebrate equinoxes, solstices, & harvests ❦ • I became a mt biker for 20 years ~ loved exercising in nature ❦ • I was also a fashion stylist, voted one of the 10 Best Dressed in SF, Feb 1990, which landed me on the cover of SF Focus Magazine ❦ We must embrace being “impeccable” with our word! And stop spreading untruths & delusional thinking, as the mind deludes! One of our biggest challenges; people believing all thoughts as truth, including delusional thoughts & limiting beliefs! ❦ We all need to practice being impeccable with our words, as everything is created with our thoughts & beliefs! ❦ #sustainabilitycides ❦ taken in Monterey Bay, CA by @sustainabilitycodes

Yes, heart-brain coherence describes a physiological state where the rhythmic patterns of the heart and brain synchronize to optimize emotional and cognitive functioning ❦ What is Heart-Brain Coherence? ❦ • Harmonious Rhythms: A stable, ordered pattern in heart rate variability (HRV) that replaces erratic or jagged stress patterns ❦ • Two-way Communication: The heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart, heavily influencing higher cognitive function ❦ • Electromagnetic Field: The heart generates a powerful rhythmic electromagnetic field that can affect brain wave activity (such as alpha waves) ❦ Benefits of Alignment ❦ • Emotional Regulation: Reduces anxiety, anger, & frustration while building long-term personal resilience❦ • Mental Clarity: Enhances focus, creative problem-solving, & higher-level decision-making ❦ • Physical Balance: Supports autonomic, nervous system, stability and overall cardiovascular health ❦ How to Practice Coherence ❦ • Focused Breathing: Take slow, deep, and regular breaths centered in the area of the chest/heart ❦ (Breathe in through the nose → out the mouth to engage the parasympathetic nervous system, NOT the fight-or-flight response) ❦ • Positive emotion: Intentionally generate genuine feelings of care, gratitude, compassion, and love ❦ (higher-frequency words/actions) • Mindful Awareness: Shift your primary attention away from racing thoughts and anchor it directly on the physical rhythm of your heartbeat ❦ “If emotions are real and honest, you are shaping your thoughts wisely.” ~ Blaise Pascal, 17th century French mathematician, physicist, philosopher ❦ #heartmindcoherence ❦ #sustainabilitycodes ❦ by @sustainabilitycodes

Happy Full Moon 🌕 in Pisces ♓ 8/27th @9:13 pm PDT. It's also a partial lunar eclipse and the last eclipse of 2026 ✦ One of the reasons we’re on this journey is to find out who we are & our purpose in this life! Astrology is a great tool that can highlight what gifts we are born with + the possibilities/opportunities for self, money/security, communication, home, love, health, partnerships, other people’s money, higher truths, career/legacy, friendships, & the unforeseen side of life ✦ Like, my younger brother started playing drums professionally at 10 years old; he's now an award-winning jazz drummer, percussionist, and vibraphonist. He had the musical chops! 🎶 For me, Mom shared that she knew I was “independent” when, as a toddler, I toilet-trained myself by climbing out of the crib & taking myself to the bathroom! Of course I'm super independent, highly spiritual & treasure my alone time, where I flourish! ✦ The characteristics we embody at birth are different from what we learn from family, friends, associates, & living life, called our conditioned selves ✦ What we “learn” can be “unlearned”; however, what we are born with is a little more challenging to shift, transform, or let go ✦ So it's important to know the difference between born-with and learned behavior! ✦ Eclipses are often described as a regular new or full moon on steroids, significantly more powerful & intense! ✦ The energy for a lunar eclipse can last up to 6 months, while the energy for a solar eclipse can last anywhere from 1-3 years ✦ This eclipse in Pisces ♓ is sitting opposite the Sun in the same degree of Virgo ♍ Both luminaries are also squared by Uranus in Gemini ♊ which adds a bit of the unexpected. Uranus does not do quiet endings 🤔 When it touches an eclipse, expect at least one piece of information or an event that arrives w/o warning & reorganizes your thinking on the spot ✦ Take advantage of this Pisces Full Moon & last eclipse of the year for more clarity & wisdom as you move forward in life! ✦ #fullmooninpisces♓ #partiallunareclipse ✦ #sustainabilitycodes ❤︎ by @sustainabilitycodes
