Monday, October 16th ~ The moon is in dark, intense Scorpio all day. On these days, we find ourselves wanting to dive deeper into both the outer and inner worlds. Surface level attention doesn't cut it. We benefit from asking tough questions and exploring the shadow to better understand ourselves. The moon opposes Jupiter at 7:30am EST, the only major aspect today. This can leave us with a lack of self control, where we say whatever's on our minds and have a hard time holding back. If we try to restrain our emotions it can leave us feeling sad or depleted in some way. The key for the day is honesty and maintaining an openness to explore.
Journal question: What am I holding back? Who would I most like to be honest with, but feel like I can't/ What would I say to them?
Tuesday, October 17th ~ Today begins with the Scorpio moon opposing Uranus at 1:01am EST. We may be somewhat stubborn under this aspect and yet find our moral ground keeps shaking and changing. We hold tight to something but then change our minds just as fast. The moon trines Neptune at 7:20am and sextiles Pluto at 11:43am EST. These transits invoke the imagination and strengthen our courage and resolve. We can envision something more beautiful and push ourselves to achieve it. The moon is void of course from 11:44am until it enters Sagittarius at 3:36pm EST. This little period of time brings a need for peace, quiet, and meditation. If you're busy during these hours it can be helpful to pop away for just a few minutes for centering breaths. Once the moon is in Sagittarius, we feel more ready to socialize, explore, and try new things. The moon squares Saturn at 5:01pm EST to close out the day's aspects. This brings some slight tension around getting work done or feeling as though our responsibilities are keeping us from the people we love. This feeling should fade in intensity a few hours later.
Journal question: Is there something I believe in that I would push others to accept? Why is it so important to me?
Wednesday, October 18th ~ The moon is in fun-loving, free spirited Sagittarius all day. We need stimulation and exploration on these days and can feel depleted if we are cooped up for too long. The moon squares Venus at 7:15am EST which can close us off from our feelings somewhat. We will prefer to take action today rather than dwell in emotion. The Sun conjuncts the South Node of the Moon at 8:44am EST, a transit we notice all day long. This transit carries a powerful link to the past, and can bring with it potent memories of times from long ago. The mind travels through many doorways and lingers in long-locked away rooms containing aspects of our pasts. We may even get in touch with a person we haven't heard from in many years. This is also a powerful past life portal and can allow for recollection and karmic understanding. The moon trines Chiron at 11:13pm EST, suggesting that exploring these topics can bring deep healing and reconciliation.
Journal question: What memory is strongest for me right now? What person from the past is on my mind the most today?
Thursday, October 19th ~ The next several days are quite busy cosmically, and we catapult into the astro action immediately. Today starts with Mercury in conjunction with the South Node of the Moon at 1:34am EST. The Sun was in this place just yesterday, and Mercury is speeding ahead in order to meet up with the Sun tomorrow. Mercury in this place continues yesterday's memory portal, but gives us more of an impetus to communicate about the past. We want to talk about something from long ago, or to tie up loose ends with another person. You might recall more vivid details around a memory. The Sagittarius moon trines the North Node at 12:47pm EST, inviting us to not just camp out in the past but to use it to heal and move into the future with more strength and confidence. The moon goes on to square Neptune at 1:52pm and sextile Mercury at 2:24pm EST. We want to retreat into our imagination today but are encouraged to keep that communication open and flowing. It's okay to dream and sit in that mental space, but don't wall yourself off from sharing entirely. The moon enters its Waxing Crescent phase at 3:02pm EST and then moves void of course for about six and a half hours. This brings more hopeful energy and gets us dreaming about possibilities rather than rooting too deeply into what came before. The moon's void period ends at 9:54pm EST as it enters Capricorn. Here in the sign of its detriment, we're more focused on problem solving rather than deep intuitive connecting. The moon sextiles Saturn at 11:10pm EST which increases our ability to take charge and meet a problem head on.
Journal question: Is there a person in my life who I feel a deep past life connection with? What do I hope the future brings for our relationship?
Friday, October 20th ~ The moon is in steady, focused Capricorn all day. We typically enjoy working toward goals on Capricorn moon days and can feel aimless if we aren't making progress. The Sun conjuncts Mercury at 1:37am EST; this Mercury Cazimi activates the mind and allows for collaboration of ideas with others. This is a powerful brainstorming day and many projects that are envisioned today have the potential to go far. The moon sextiles Mars at 7:54am EST which gets us moving and suggests that keeping active and energetic today will be helpful. Stretch, do some exercise, or go for a walk to stay stimulated. The moon trines Venus at 4:59pm and trines Jupiter at 7:29pm EST. These are pleasant transits which allow for more amicable socializing. It is a good day to try new things with a group, such as going someplace you've never been before or going on some sort of adventure. We end with Mercury in square to Pluto at 8:50pm EST; the Sun will follow in this square tomorrow. This transit is known as the "street smart" aspect. It increases observation skills and can help to keep us sharp and safe. However, we may be more intense in our desire to stay vigilant. We can go looking for trouble and actively create some where there wasn't any. The benefit of this transit is sensing hidden motivations and understanding what people's next moves might be. Use this to help mediate rather than to create division.
Journal question: What is an idea I would love to spend time working on? Would I prefer to do this alone? If not, who are my dream collaborators?
Saturday, October 21st ~ We have a second full day with the moon in Capricorn, allowing us to stay focused on the task at hand. Spending too much time in the emotions with no push toward completing goals can feel a little uncomfortable during the moon's stay here. The moon squares Chiron at 4:07am EST which can leave us feeling a little raw and vulnerable. We might feel weird about something we said or did, and can fixate. This likely has roots in a past event that formed an insecurity for you around this subject. The Sun squares Pluto, noticeable all day but exact at 10:09am EST. This is a fighter's aspect. We are less likely to give up here, and will push to overcome and get our way. However, if there is no fight at hand we could be more willing to create one just to feel the energy of rising out of adversity. Be mindful and consider throwing yourself into harmless competition like a video game or sport if you need an outlet. The moon trines Uranus at 12:20pm and later squares both its Nodes at 5:19pm EST. We enjoy having freedom today and will resent too much structure. We could feel somewhat stubborn about being told what to do or focus on. The moon sextiles Neptune at 6:17pm and later conjuncts Pluto at 10:32pm EST. This busy lunar day continues and brings imagination and more compassion into the mix. We want to connect with others on a more profound level. The moon enters its First Quarter phase to end the day at 11:29pm EST. This adds to the stimulating effect of all the day's transits. We are looking to see results and want to push ourselves toward the finish line.
Journal question: What am I most hoping to accomplish? What is standing in my way right now?
Sunday, October 22nd ~ Today starts with Venus trining Jupiter at 12:32am EST, a benefic aspect that increases optimism and opens the heart to love. This is a pleasant transit that colors the day with rosy thoughts about our loved ones. We could be more creatively inspired and find that ideas come to us with ease. The Capricorn moon squares Mercury at 2:00am EST and then moves void of course for six minutes before entering Aquarius at 2:06am EST. We could find it difficult to put feelings into words today, and prefer to show them through actions. The Aquarian moon brings a need to be more objective and adventurous in our emotions. Mercury enters Scorpio today at 2:48am EST, where it will be until November 10th. This is a powerful placement for Mercury and allows for deep memory and recall. Mercury is more deliberate here, and less likely to chatter endlessly. Words may be fewer but they will all have meaning. We benefit from taking our time over the next couple weeks, and honing our intention before speaking. This transit also allows for more meaningful exploration of our psychic space and of further realms in general. Mercury goes on to trine Saturn at 12:12pm EST, which allows us to communicate our thoughts effectively and be more persistent in our efforts. Finally, the moon squares Mars at 2:21pm and later squares Jupiter at 10:26pm EST. These transits can flare up tempers and leave us wanting more alone time and personal space.
Journal question: How can I open my heart more? What is preventing me from doing so?
