Monday, October 9th ~ The day begins with the Leo moon entering its Waning Crescent phase at 3:07am EST. This is a more inward, introspective week that allows for deeper reflection and understanding of our emotional realms. We could feel less social overall or need more time to replenish energies after being around large groups of people. The moon trines Chiron at 7:13am EST, which suggests we heal by following our creativity and allowing it to flow. Write a story or poem, paint a picture, or simply put together a fun outfit to wear. Anything that engages the creative spirit and your inner child will do just fine. The moon squares Uranus at 4:35pm EST which can bring fluctuations in feeling, and a need for freedom in relationships. Finally, the moon trines the North Node at 9:45pm EST, which gives us the opportunity to take a risk and try something new. Pushing out of your comfort zone can open a new door today.
Tuesday, October 10th ~ It's a busy day in the cosmos! We start with Venus in Virgo opposing Saturn in Pisces at 2:10am EST, a transit we feel all day. This can bring up emotional frustrations and draws our attention to places of restriction or friction in close relationships. We can feel as though we aren't being loved the way we'd like. Today is a good day to care for yourself, and funnel that energy into treating yourself the way you want to be treated. The Leo moon sextiles Mars at 5:36am EST and then moves void of course for about two and a half hours. We have a burst of physical energy and power and might enjoy moving our bodies to start the day. The moon's void ends at 8:01am EST as it enters Virgo. In this sign, we enjoy having a harmonious and clean environment. It can be helpful to tidy up your work and living spaces. The moon opposes Saturn at 10:06am and conjuncts Venus at 10:45pm EST. We have good opportunities to heal relationships or to connect with others to overcome blocks in willpower or motivation. Let's lift each other up today. Finally, Pluto retrograde ends at 9:09pm EST, with the dwarf planet stationing direct at 27 degrees Capricorn after a period of about five months. Pluto retrograde periods are a time to reconvene with our shadow self and to delve into our psyches, exploring the furthest recesses of emotion and the mind. We often revisit the past so that we can understand it better and allow for greater transformation. Now, the stage is set. We reemerge from the underworld with a deeper knowledge of our most primal and hidden selves. We have a choice to courageously work with these shadow parts for massive evolution, or to simply set them aside until next May when Pluto retrograde begins again. However, if you choose that route, just know that these memories tend to return with even more force if they aren't examined.
Wednesday, October 11th ~ The moon is in humble, earthy Virgo all day. The Virgo moon invites us to connect with nature, and nurture all that is around us to make it better than we found it. The Sun opposes Chiron at 2:20am EST, a transit we feel all day long. This can bring up feelings of insecurity and self-consciousness around being who we are in the world. We may have to confront the ego and let go of some aspects of it which are blocking us from being more authentic. Mars is at the 29th degree of Libra today, which exacerbates our need to show off and prove ourselves to others. Bring in some awareness; you don't need to go overboard to impress those around you. The moon trines Jupiter at 11:05am EST, the last major aspect of the day. This is a pleasant and optimistic transit which increases our passion for learning and exploring. We seek out adventure and knowledge today.
Thursday, October 12th ~ Today begins with Mars entering Scorpio at 12:04am EST. The red planet will be here in this sign until November 24th. Mars in Scorpio is bold, passionate, sexual, and vengeful. There is very little forgiving and forgetting here. This placement feels things very deeply and maintains an emotional connection with everything they are passionate about. Their memories are long, like echoing hallways. We may require more complete intimacy with others during this time. Those with natal Mars in water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, and earth signs Capricorn and Virgo will enjoy this time and find it quite agreeable with their own energy. The Virgo moon trines Uranus at 5:00am and later opposes Neptune at 11:42am EST. Imaginations run wild and we need a lot of freedom to think and feel today. It can be very frustrating and confusing if people expect a quick answer today, and it is suggested to let others think on things without rushing them. The moon trines Pluto at 4:10pm EST and then moves void of course for over four hours. We maintain an intense focus and need to dip down below the surface of all we investigate. Take your time researching and weighing options. The moon's void period ends at 8:22pm EST as it enters Libra. We are officially in the dark moon phase as we approach Saturday's New Moon. This is a very heightened magical time, but also quite introverted and personal. It is suggested to spend some time recharging alone at some point between tonight and Saturday morning.
Friday, October 13th ~ Happy Friday the 13th! While there is no astrological connotation with Friday the 13th, we can consider that Friday is ruled by Venus, goddess of love and beauty, and 13 in numerology represents death and rebirth. This is a powerful time to transform our relationships and to increase our self-love and compassion. There is also a lot of magic in the air as tomorrow is the New Moon, and we are connecting to more inward spiritual energies as the dark moon continues to be consumed by shade. Today we only have one major aspect, but it is a big one. Mars trines Saturn at 8:28am EST, though we have felt this growing over the past two days and will continue to feel it over the weekend. This is a powerful transit that increases dedication and willpower. We can feel more compelled to make progress toward our goals. Keep in mind that Saturn is all about the long game. This aspect allows us to make moves but we likely won't see dramatic results overnight. Keep at it and chip away at things bit by bit.
Saturday, October 14th ~ Today we have the moon in Libra all day, perfecting in Newness. We start with the moon conjunct Mercury at 4:57am and opposing Chiron at 6:55am EST. We need to talk about our emotions but may also feel somewhat closed off due to the New Moon, which is quite solitary in nature. It is a good idea to write today or find some other way to express yourself. The New Moon in Libra occurs at 1:55pm EST. This New Moon happens during a Solar Eclipse, and is the entrance to a two week eclipse season lasting through October 28th. This is a powerful and magical portal that invites us to move away from the crowd and from needing to people please. You may have to go deep to see what it is you truly want. The darkness of the Moon eclipsing the Sun suggests there is no pushing this away or trying to avoid it. We have to face feelings that are creeping up and demanding to be heard. The Aries/Libra axis is all about authenticity of self vs. the harmony of the group. Mercury later opposes Chiron at 6:31pm EST which adds to our need to get our emotions out into the open. It can feel scary to be vulnerable but we have no other choice. Finally, the moon conjuncts its South Node at 9:11pm EST and is as close to Earth as it can get during its 28 day cycle. This brings up old memories and nostalgic waves of yearning. We seek out comfort tonight. Today is a LOT energetically, so go easy on yourself and be sure you are resting, staying hydrated, and giving yourself what you need to feel good.
Sunday, October 15th ~ Today starts with the Libra moon squaring Pluto at 3:01am EST, and then moving void of course for about four hours. We seek out control in situations in our lives, and can easily become stubborn if we're not careful. Be sure to hear others out today and ask if what you are fighting about is really worth clinging to so tightly. The moon's void ends at 7:04am EST as it moves into Scorpio. The Scorpio moon is spiritual, intuitive, and powerful. We are inclined to be more emotionally motivated and observant of tone, body language, and subtle energies. The moon trines Saturn at 8:41am and conjuncts Mars at 11:35am EST. This powerhouse of aspects ignites our flame and gets us motivated to tackle a big goal with gusto. Later, the moon sextiles Venus at 6:50pm EST, bringing a desire for closeness and connection with someone we feel strongly about.
