Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic

medium, and animal communicator, and I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no

bullshit mystical advice for living your very best life.

Welcome back to Ghost. This week, there's a lot going on. But I don't have to tell you

that, do I? Let's just begin at the beginning. We are looking at the horoscope for October

8th through the 14th of 2023. And as I told you about in last week's horoscope, we start

the week off on the 8th with an exact square between Mars and Pluto. This square is happening

between Mars at 28 degrees of Libra, technically speaking, it's 27 degrees and 54 minutes.

And Pluto is at the same degrees of Capricorn. The square is exact at 605 PM Pacific. So,

I talked a little bit about this transit last week. I'm going to unpack it further here,

but I just want to say, the volatility of the Mars square to Pluto and eclipse season

is palatable. You may be feeling it in regards to your own personal activation, your sense

of ambition, and you may be feeling very difficult, Martian or plutonian emotions like

anger, defensiveness, resentment, and a bunch of others. But that's a good, it's a good

tight little list. The war that has just sprung up in Israel or Palestine is another really

chilling example of these energies. The world is rife with violence of many kinds. The

world is rife with anti-Semitism and anti-Arab sentiments. And it's important for you

me and everyone else to maintain our humanity. I personally cannot speak to the complexities

of what's happening in that region or the astrology behind it. That is outside of my personal

expertise. But I will say that the astrological timing of these events does not bode well for

this conflict or the world's likelihood of getting triggered and taking sides and acting

ways that reveal our prejudices and fears. And this is the thing to keep in mind about Mars
