It’s the 43rd week of the year and the card of the week is the 3 of Swords. And it’s a heartbreaking week in the heavens. We see Venus take on the role of Inanna as she descends into the Underworld, dipping below the horizon on 10/23/18. She leaves her throne and removes her crown of stars as she sacrifices everything she has to disappear below. Venus is currently in sign of the Underworld, Pluto, so Her Descent is particularly dramatic. We will not see Venus again until she emerges as Venus Lucifer in the morning sky on 11/1/18.  So until then, we are without the goddess. But in the darkest time the light shines the brightest. The number of the week is 7, a number of ineffable mysteries.

All times in the Forecast are set to Pacific Standard Time.  For time conversions, go here.
